Hey everyone,
So I just upgraded my DS7 to Honeycomb, pretty new to this Android thing, so I haven't rooted anything, just running the stock Dell version.
After the upgrade the Facebook App doesn't seem to work. I can log in, but my Newsfeed never displays anything, it just continuously shows the little loading circles spinning around.
Any ideas?

Have you reset (power off and on) after you update? Check to see if there is an update to Facebook. Mines works fine after the update. After the update, if you did not go through the setup procedure, you might want to do a factory reset to clear out all the old data and begin fresh. I did that and my Streak 7 is working smoothly, no problem at all.
I have rebooted it a number of times, but no luck. I've been thinking about doing a factory reset and then upgrading to HC after that, as almost all my data is stored in the cloud, so I would just need to back up my apps.
I'm still pretty new to Android though, so I'm a little nervous about doing that sort of thing.
My Facebook app is also giving me problems. The newsfeed and profile tab and some of my friends wall wont load all the time. After a reboot it did help but like I said, sometimes I have the same issue. I will keep an eye on it and see whats up.

Try opening a friends wall and go back to yours. Play with it a few times back and forth. Also, try an uninstalland update again. Clear cache and data.

You have already upgrade to Honeycomb, so all you have to do is a factory reset to clear out the old data. You will not loose your honeycomb update, just the data. Go into the recovery mode: power off, then press & hold the Volume Up and Power button until the recovery screen comes up, then follow the instructions it provide.
mine is working fine... did you try to clear data once?
Try resetting App in Applications

Before you reboot, try by going into settings, applications, and then pull up all applications and scroll down to Facebook, when it comes up...click on the "Clear Data" option. It will clear out all setting for Facebook, then go to the Market and check for Facebook updates. Once you've done that, reboot your Streak, then try accessing Facebook to see it it the issue cleared. Facebook works fine on my Streak.
Now comes the big question: How do I remove this Facebook application? Used to have it but was addicted, strangely enough I am unable to remove the application. Am I the only one that does not want to be on Facebook? The service is running and therefore is doing something even if it was just taking up space...... anyone?

Open settings and applications. Select all. Scroll to fb. Wipe data and cache. Fixed

Root+ titanium back = freeze the app or uninstall
The Facebook 1.7.2 app on my mom's S7 crashes when she clicks the "friends" link if the tablet is being held in landscape mode. It works properly when held in portrait mode.
Wifi only HC update issues
I'm having a lot of the same issues that are being mentioned here.
For starters, I can't seem to install/move apps to SD after upgrading.
Facebook app doesn't work very well (if at all) even with update applied or clearing data. I can cause it to crash simply by selecting the friends tab. I also noticed that trying to add fb via the accounts tab in system settings generates an error. My theory is that this is a bug stemming from contact syncing.
I say this because none of the apps seem to behave correctly in that sense. Twitter and Skype contacts get added even when you specify within the app settings to sync with existing contacts only.
The Paypal app experiences an error upon login, preventing you from getting past that initial screen.
Installing apps via Android Market from another computer doesn't work. You are given the option to send the app but it never shows up on the Streak. I have not tried this again since wiping the device last night.
Note: Prior to upgrading, I reset the device to factory state. Updated successfully. Found all the above issues. Reset to factory state again. No change in behavior. I think the build may be bad, but then again, I'm no expert.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,
I rooted my HTC One last night and currently have CM11 on it.
Everything worked well while i was on WIFI. I managed to update apps, sync email accounts etc.
However when I'm not at home and on mobile data, some apps don't work. eg, Facebook, Instagram. Google Chrome won't download files either.
When I arrive in school and back on its WIFI, such apps work as per normal again. It seems like there's a problem when I'm on mobile data.
If it helps, I'm on CM11 and CWM 6.0.4.6.
Thanks in advanced.
EDIT: Managed to resolve the problem. Thread can be closed. Apologies.

Hi,
I just wanted to ask how you fixed the problem as I have the same on my Galaxy S3.
Thanks in advance
hi,
I have a strange bug that make me many times just disappointed about Samsung so much
I get message from Whatsapp. its a new friend. i press add, new contact, i fill the details in the contact screen. i press OK. i see it is saved on google as i wanted.
i go back and... it haven't been saved. I try to search the contact but no sign of it.
I tried another way, I add new contact from the contact built in app of the note 5.
same thing again.
been in a new study group, added all my friends, came home and no one added ...
if i wait a few sec after i add (before get out of the contact screen) or press edit after saved then i have a chance to keep the new contact.
it was a bug on the 5.1.1 ver and now same on android 6.
it is driving me crazy !!!
is it only me ?
is it Samsung ?
It was on many kind of Roms and now also on the stock as well.
and yes, sync is always work on my phone.
Please help !
Thanks
It has nothing to do with Samsung or with your phone. Just clean the cache in settings for Whatssapp then restart the phone. I have a note 5 also and everything is working fine. Eventually uninstall and reinstall Whatssapp.

Thanks for your answer.
clean is impossible while i have already had a full format and full wipe and i do it many times.
it is a bug i guess.
and what is the connection to whatsapp while the "contacts app is made by samsung and built on the google contacts database ?
Works fine for me. Nobody else seems to be having this issue.
Try starting your phone in safe mode and try adding a contact.

I just started having this problem few days ago
Happened to me 1 time but I just added them through the gmail contacts on the web and haven't had any issues since. Check the accounts on your phone, check the google account and make sure everything is syncing properly.
I have the same issue on MM Note5. Still no solution?
Is there any issue with it. I'm using stock note 8 and when I try download or update an app it takes long time. Any ideas. Thanks for your help
Can anyone help

Your issues with Play store, reminds me of 2 x similar incidents, i had with my old Note devices.
Think it was Note 3 and my Note 4. Not sure.
Unfortunately It was a few years back!
eg.
When i tried to download, an apps update etc and
app size was eg 2mb or 5 mb.. etc I struggled to download.Very frustrating!
Eventually after a week or 2, maybe 3.
i was able to pinpoint
the the "suspect"
(Unfortunately i cannot remember clearly ,
but it was either, that i had sideloaded
wrong updated version of Play services apk
(Cleaning Play services cache did not help.)
or it was an Xposed /Xposed model.
(So phone was also rooted)
Anyway ,
i then decided to factory reset and Playstore
was working fine again.
Bottom line is
you can either look for the "suspect"?
causing this.
( I know there was a few threads about similar issues with Playstore, on XDA... way back then ! )
or save yourself from the frustration it's causing?
and try a "clean" Factory reset.!
Good luck
Have you tried cleaing the cache data in the internal storage? That usually helps with this sorta issue.
Tried that not working in either what you said

Is it on wifi or data?
Reset router modem.
Do other apps lag like YouTube or Netflix.
Download speed bad in your area.
Uninstall GP updates and try to reinstall them or apk from web.
Is updating apps through wifi only ?
Clear out all pending updates and restart device.
Do you have another device or friends to see if it's the same problem on theirs too for your region.
Try a different proxy.
Just throwing some ideas around!!
Go into your Google settings and see if you have it to update using wifi only I personally always turn auto updates off.. I had this problem with my Note 8 when I 1st got it. How I fixed it was I went into settings and went to apps and cleared the cache and data on Google play services and playstore and foreclosed them and then went to accounts and removed my Google account and restarted my phone.. when my phone rebooted I went to the playstore and had to login fresh again and that fixed the problem.
I fixed it by factory resetting phone. Thankfully I backed it all up
Can someone please advise how I can restore my emails. At the moment whenever I open an email it is blank. I tried a few tricks like switching Developer Oltions on and off, clear or delete cahe of email app. I 3ven tried deleting chrome and reinstall email app. I have a note 9.
Thank you in advance.
What email app are you using? I assume you are properly logged in? How far back do you have the app syncing emails?

Sir, again thank you for your response. The app which I'm using is Aquamail and I actually had to reinstall the to answer your question on how far back I'm syncing. All I can say it's very far. Total of almost 6000 emails but the other app us doing the same. I know it has nothing to do with the app itself more about something on the system. It happened to me before but I simply can't recall what I did to fix it. I was thinking of reinstalling the Rom however I'm sitting with another dilemma. My OEM disappeared with my last installment of the Lightroom. It's been over 7 days and it never reappeared. I'm not so sure of taking the chance of reinstalling the Rom which I feel is very necessary at this moment because most of my apps if not all of it crashes whenever I open it
Thanks
Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. If that doesn't work back up your device and perform a Hard Factory Reset.
