Questionable Facebook Update? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got prompted for a Facebook update but it did not come from the play store, should I trust it? The download link is from Facebook.com, but I don't understand why they wouldn't update via play store.
Here's the apk link: https://www.facebook.com/releases/download?id=391237400974576
And a picture.

It's really weird that it didn't came from playstore.... If i were you, i'll wait for the play store update,

Same concern...
Hey Rockstar...
I got the exact same notification on my phone and this morning on my tablet.
I also thought it was strange and was trying to Google if anyone had installed it and their results, when I came across this thread.
I think I'll wait a bit before I consider installing the update.
Cheers.

update from playmarket and no problems

It's a beta update for certain people who sign up for betas. Weird you got it. Play store version comes out in the 18th.

[Q] New Market

what's the deal with not being able to upgrade apps ?
rather annoying
Mines update fine in the new market. I even get the notification letting me know there are new updates available
hmm i am using a version posted here .. cause mine never updated any ideas on how to force the market to update ?
Sometimes it didn't let you, and sometimes it dies I stick with the old market cause of it
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
Mines update one by one with the new market, but won't update all together

To my understanding the new market recongnizes all paid/free apps on the phone whether they be from the market, amazon app store, or side loaded. The old market only recongnized apps download from the market and know where else. The reason for not being able to update I believe is you may have a paid app from amazon app store or side loading and the the market recongnizes the app but when tying to download the update the cross payment check fails due to it not.being purchased from the market

I know what you are taking about, it will update but it takes awhile to register the app that's ready to update. Unless you have 2 apps that need updates, you won't get always the instant gratification of updating it, even though the market claims its available. Wait awhile (ie an hour) & tap the app in update, to update it.
Long story short, it's a bug.

you also got to make sure its not on the sd card
A word of caution if you use MyBackup. I use MyBackup Pro and this new market doesn't play well with it. When you try to restore apps, it says "unable to find market link" on all apps. You have to go back to the regular market to get it to work properly.

it was as per my inside sources rolled out in the US today,,,
not sure on other parts of the world.....
I opened market earlier today and it gave me the Terms and Conditions prompt again, but this time for Google Play. But no update on the market app itself. I wonder if they start pushing it to my region, would I need to go back to stock to get it?
installed it, nothing changed on the UI, only the icon

Market seems to be faster.
Haha guys, no need to update it manually. And to answer my own question earlier, it updates automatically even while on stock rom. XD

Can't install instagram?

I can't install instagram on my phone. It doesn't even show up in the play store when I try searching it. When I use the browser to get the play store link it says device is not compatible? How can I get this on my phone I know it works because a lot of you guys have it. Any fix? I've tried clearing play store data and rebooting but no luck.
I'm running saurom 7.1 latest version. And stock 320 dpi. Any ideas why this is not working and how I could get it to work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Running the same and had the same problem. Google search (on the phone) Instagram APK there is a link that says that it's for people with problems, download and install that
After i do that will it still show up in my installed apps in google play? The reason being is so it can auto update or i will know when to get an update.
Yeah well it has updated 2 times the last couple days and still wont work on ics. So if you've updated your OS you're not missing anything......yet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Saurom isn't ICS....yes it will update itself. For some reason the playstore just doesn't wanna show that it is compatible.

new Jelly bean version of playstore. alot faster/optimized than version we using now

came across this while reading Google current article. its jellybean version of playstore. For me, everything is alot better in this one. everything loads almost instantly. alot more optimized IMO. this is the latest version. I already installed and its running fine.
there's new content in this one. like magazines, TV shows, movies, etc.. you will notice the difference once you install this. still amazed how fast everything loads up in this version.
I wasn't sure if this was allowed or not. If not, mods can immediately delete it. its just the new jellybean playstore version that was extracted from JB rom.
Is this just for the US? I have installed this but makes no difference here in the UK.
thanks man
jellybean
i read jelly bean is going to have encrypted apps, think im gonna stay with ICS!

I heard THST also. but I think that only applies for trying to sideload paid apps. I believe you can still sign onto playstore on a new device and install the apps like that. you know you have like a history section that shows all your apps you ever installed or paid from there. then you can just reinstall into new device from there.
they are trying to cut down on piracy so i see the reason why they would encrypt the app to be specific to that psrticualr device once downloaded. it doesn't stop you from entering in your same info on a new device and downloading it again, from the playstore, onto the new device.
The marketplace loads much faster now, thanks!
Thanks!

this is probably a dum? but how do i install this? it says its an APK but when i download it its a zip and it doesnt flash in recovery or install like an APK
edit-nevermind i got it, just renamed to APK and all is good. thanks
I expect this version to be rolled out to all other Android devices. My phone is still on the current version of the Play Store that doesn't have magazines, etc. When I launch the Play Store on it, there is an advertisement to own Pixar movies starting at $10, even though you need the newest version of the Play Store to buy movies. You can also download a Play Magazines app from the current Play Store in preparation for when the new Play Store app rolls out you can buy magazines (or you can subscribe to them online).
Interesting.... thanks for sharing.
Works great! I Thank you.
no problem. still amazed how much better this version is than previous one. this playstire loads everything nearly instant now.
Yes, it's crazy how fast it is compared to the ICS one we previously had.
Sorry for beating a dead horse here, but does the system still lag when installing apps, has that been sorted or is it still more or less the same?
Amazing, Thanks!
Hi,
Is there an European version available? I installed this one and now it does not download apps from the store.
Thanks in advance
Here is a slightly updated version 3.7.13. that came out a couple of days ago:

Noooooo its a Mega problem. Note 3 has version 2.5 and Mega has 2.0. They won't work together properly when you can actually get in the megas group play app.
I pulled the group play from her note 3 and it will not install on the Mega. Check the group play feedback in Samsung apps store. Almost all complaining Mega so t update

The problem is the app shouldn't be attempting to update in the first place. If you are quick enough to select one of the options before the update message comes up then you can bypass the update and use the app. The problem is on Samsung's end and is not the device itself. As stupid as it may sound the app is only supported on Galaxy Note 3 and the S4. Why that is I have no idea but its a joke on Samsung's part since they preloaded it on the phones. If you go to samsung app store on desktop computer it shows this as well. F* you Samsung you suck in my book now.

i got it all worked out after rooting. backed up the group play, removed it, installed the note 3 group play and it worked but would force close creating. removed note 3 group play and reinstalled the older version the mega came with. went into samsung app store, update still failed. uninstalled via samsung market, while staying on the group play app page, reinstalled and now it works normal with the updated version
confusing i know. its not as good as the note 3 group play. i grabbed the games thru the wifes note 3 too and it plays well with the mega note on group play games. Mucis doesnt work between the two.
Group play is a joke on the mega. I read somewhere the 4.4 update supposed to fix it all. so 1 more year before att update mega to 4.4
New at&t ota update fixes the problem. I dont have any issues with Group Pl a y since updating.
