[Q] Facebook issues? - Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi im using the xtrsense 5.0 ROM, i'm not able to get on my fb app (version 1.9.6), it cuts off and shows me:
-------------------------------------------
Connection lost: tap to retry
-------------------------------------------
when i log into facebook from the phones browser it shows a security warning that says:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are problems with the security certificate for this site.
The name of the site does not match the name on the certificate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can i fix this problem ? I tried a GB Rom and it doesn't give me this issue, i don't want to use the GB rom either cos its not as smooth running as the sense rom and also i like my trackball notifications.
Any ideas guys? I tried uninstalling and re installing, no luck. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I just tried on xtrSENSE; it took a while to refresh, and I did get one "tap to retry" message, but it did finally load.
You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the app, or try the app Friendcaster and see if that works (though it does have ads...)

Thanks for the reply Doogald, Its just weird, i tried uninstalling and reinstalling, even tried clearing the dalvik, and wiping the data and reinstalling the xtrSENSE zip but i still have the same issue. Not sure whats going on. I'm not a fan of the friendcaster app, so i ended up installing Nonsensikal_v161_vanilla Froyo. Its working now, but i miss the whole Sense look. Also how can i get the trackball LED notifications to work?

My dusty recollection is that there is a way. I'm traveling at the moment but will be back home this weekend. If I can dig out the method I'll pass it along.

Thanks for your help, if you can pass that info along that would be great. Happy thanks giving!

First - it's been well over 18 months since I tried Nonsensikal - but what happens when you go to settings/cyanogen settings/user interface/led notifications. Is that one of the settings? Can you change some of them to color white to see if that activates trackball notifications?

Thanks that worked, i ended up flashing a gingerbread ROM onto it, and went into the user interface settings for LED notifications, changing it to white did activate the trackball Thanks again!

Awesome. Well, if that didn't work I was going to suggest a Gingerbread ROM next.

I deleted swype off of the phone so I could install the beta swype, the only thing is now when I click in a text field to type in my login info. no form of keyboard shows up Anyone else run into this or know what can be done to start typing? I've done this with many other roms and never ran into this problem.
Edit: Nevermind mods can delete this. After a couple reboots the stock keyboard showed up.

[Q] Quickpic "i" logo every time I open it...

Hey gang,
Just a dumb question about Quickpic. I've been using it for a long time now with no problems. Now, suddenly, whenever I open it, I get a dropdown with a logo that has a lowercase "i" in a circle (like for "info"). Touching/swiping/clicking/etc doesn't do anything. The only way to get rid of it is to press "back".
I have checked the settings menu and found nothing. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, wiping program data, etc. I simply don't get what's causing the popup, or how in the hell to get rid of it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I got an email from the developer:

Has Facebook v1.8.2 broken your push notifications?

Mine are dead since the update...
How can I fix them? Maybe using an older apk?
Thanks,
TD

Yes that is how they are set, as they were pre 1.8.2,and they used to work flawlessly. I also tried rebooting, and logging off and back on in both Facebook and Facebook messenger, still nothing
Got the same problem.I stopped getting notifications after the update.Only get them via google mail but super late.Reading the comments on the market it seems that its happening to many people.Guess its a hit and miss thing weather the update works or not.Some people are also uninstalling the update and going back to the previos version untill its fixed.

I went to http://www.apktops.com/ and downloaded v1.8.1, then I placed the apk into my phone via kies air, doesn't really matter in which folder. I went into application management, cleared data and cache (just to be safe), uninstalled facebook. Then I went to the folder where I placed the v1.8.1 apk, clicked on it, and installed it. I haven't received a pm yet, so I can't say yet if it did fix push notifications.
Still not working anymore.... I'm so mad at this....
I went back to 1.7.1...current versions are too buggy.
I tried everything, I
Cleared cache and data for Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Go Facebook Widget
Uninstalled those 3
Reinstalled Facebook only, different versions, v1.8.2, v1.8.1, v1.7.2. Tested with FB only, nothing
Reinstalled the latest Facebook Messenger, still nothing
Reinstalled the latest Go Facebook Widget, still nothing.
I'm out of ideas really...
PS: my mate with GS2 with official XILA2 (android 2.3.6) says that his galaxy's notifications are also dead, but he has them just fine on his Transformer tablet with honeycomb
Facebook app is pretty bad period tbh comparing it to the iphones . Sometimes randomly it would give me nasty wakelocks.
i heard ads are coming to it soon :-/ lol
looks like an iphone but powered by android!!!
Noone else has any idea about how to fix these?....

http://www.androidnz.net/2011/11/how-to-enable-push-notifications-in.html
I just uninstalled it all together. will try an older apk.
I must say I got push notifications to work by logging into my facebook on my mums blackberry then logging off. Maybe thats whay I still get the notifications? Wish I could help mate but if you know someone with a blackberry then try the idea posted above
Yes I did that trick with the blackberry emulator like 4 months, ago, and it worked just fine till the last update. I've since tried to revert to an older facebook apk, and redo the blackberry simulator trick, but they still won't get back on
So...refresh interval slould be "never" and notifications "on", ok?
That's my options in facebook aplication. I deleted app data in setting, but still no push working.
If anybody have a solution, please help.
Thank you...

it doesnt show 1new message onthe lock screen but does on the home screen and when you click apps and can see all the apps
the only other option i can consider is re installing but i dont really want to do that if im honest
I had the same issue when I installed the Handcent widget and kept the stock messaging app. Here's what worked for me:
1) Go to Settings > Developer Options, and check "Do not keep activities". I'm not sure what this actually does (or how it affects other apps) so I unchecked it after it took away the message notification.
2) After a little while, the problem reappeared, so I found a free app called "SMS Cleaner Free" in the Play Store. That seemed to solve my issue permanently, as it hasn't reappeared since.
I'm not sure if one or a combo of doing both helped, but try it out and let us know.

[Q] CM 10.1.3 Stable

Just installed the newest stable build from CM and everything seems to be working great except I cannot send or receive picture messages (MMS). Anyone else having this issue with Verizon?

It's been a constant problem forever with CM and a few other ROMS. It happened to me yesterday. Solutions range from cycling airplane mode, cycling 4G-3G-4G radio, or a full on reset. It usually takes a full reset for it to work for me.

Hmm, what mine will do is show that i have an MMS message from a sender and then when i open it and go into my text messages there is nothing there and its "gone" for ever. Likewise when i attempt to send it just says "sending". When you say reset what are you referring too? Because I did reboot the phone.

I have a problem with this 10.1.3 update. I hope I can use this thread to generate some assistance. After the update, I lost ES File Explorer. I went to the market and tried to download and reinstall. No go! It downloads but doesn't install. Any suggestions besides using a different App? I've added a photo of what the Play Store says when tring to install. This is my first time posting so be patient if the pic doesn't show. Thanks for your help.

Try going to Settings>Applications>Google Play Store. Then Clear Data/Cache. Then reboot your phone, and try reinstalling ESFE again.
Is ES the only app you've had trouble with? Might need to start fresh on your rom slot. Did you do a fresh install on your rom slot, or just update from 10.1.2? Did you wipe cache/dalvik when you did so?

Looks like you dirty flashed.
Do a full wipe and reflash the ROM again.
