Facebook app

Anyone else have this issue? Starting this afternoon my Facebook app launches the browser version of Facebook. It starts the app and acts like its going to load feeds and then opens the browser.

Opened Facebook app and noticed it's redirecting to m.facebook.com. Maybe something's wrong with the interface servicing the app....

There's a Themes & Apps subforum for these kids of issues. Please use it.
Yep, same issue for me, starting today. If you read the market reviews, there's dozens of similar complaints, all dated today.

Ditto for me. Uninstalled and re-installed fixed it. Hope it stays that way.
I have that same problem. I am running on a stock rom 2.2 from kies update. I am rooted but have not flashed a custom rom yet. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a total of 3 times and still have the problem and yes I did do a reboot after I uninstalled before I reinstalled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I think we just need to wait for them to fix the app, sadly. It doesn't seem to be any issue with the phones or corrupted data - it's something in the app itself. With all the people complaining on the market, I'm betting they'll post an update shortly.
I was checking something with this app before I put my phone down for the evening. When I woke up my battery was dead. Check out the pictures, stay awake 7 hours and it was the biggest drain on my battery.
I'll try the uninstall and reinstall to see if it's any different. Cognition 5 beta 2
Use FriendCaster (Pro) and you won't have any more problems.

I cleared the app data, and it works great now.

same here, stock 2.2.. clearing the data before reinstalling the app might work.

[Q] applanet app doesn't work

Applanet promotes behavior that violates copyrights....... so as such..... This Thread is closed... the Moderators
hi guys, i used galaxy note (LA4)
after rooting LA4 and installing Abyss 3.4, rocket v20 and Rocketv20 JKay StockLook "'JKay Mod Alpha3" which was included in the rocket website, i downloaded applanet app from applanet.net website. i installed it but when i execute the app, the app says there was a network error and there are no updates or lists of apps i can download..
is there any way for me to make this work? Thanks guys in advance.
This is a widely spread problem, I think.
I handled it by clearing the cache and clearing all data of applanet.
Then it worked for me.
Otherwise it can be that the server is offline.
Here you can see, that the app server is currently offline.
http://applanet.tumblr.com/
Hey thanks for the quick reply. Wheb i see the website it shows two images showing on and offline with 1 year old marks ob bottom of each picture. How can you tell that its offline? Do you know it by the fact that offlibe is on top?
Sorry my bad.
You can see the status at the site http://applanet.net/.
Well it says "online", but no apps are shown too.
Maybe you can delete all data of applanet, redownload and reinstall the apk.
If this doesn't work i think it's because of the high popularity of applanet, maybe you'll reach it 10 minutes later.
Haha what?? Wow I didn't even know apps like app planet existed! I downloaded it and it didn't work for me either...says network problem....are there any other apps like it?

Last time I looked, Applanet is a Warez source, and as such should not be discussed on XDA.
Just sayin'

Unknown app?

I have a problem and need help to resolve this. Ok there is a Japanese language app that keeps popping up on milestone. It will show up most of the time overnight and will be in my status bar and don't have a clue what it says? Sometimes the pic of a Oriental girl when I click on the notification I have ran anti virus, malware, spyware programs that never help if I click on anything it starts downloading something that is impossible to stop! Help please

I would back-up all my stuff, do a full wipe and install a fresh rom.
But if you dont want to do that, you should try to install Titanium Backup and remove all suspicious app.
You have encountered a virus it is a rare virus and Google has fixed on gingerbread but all it does is fill up your memory and pop up annoying adds sorry but a full system whipe may be your only choice

Play store says "you haven't accessed play store from your device yet"

Hi there...
As u know we can install apps from play store via PC too...by just clicking install on the apps we wish to install and they get downloaded automatically the next time we turn on wifi or mobile data from the phone...but when I try to do this,play store gives a message saying "you haven't accessed play store from your device with this id"...
So m unable to install any apps via PC though everything works fine when use play store from the phone...
Can someone please temme why the play store is not recognizing my device...?
I'm running miui gb rom which I flashed a long time ago...I hadn't installed any apps via PC ever since until now...so this problem came to my notice recently...

Relax boss, nothing to worry. The Play Store installed on your phone needs to get itself updated. Once it is updated you wont face this problem.
So just open Play Store on your device and give it some time to update itself.
Had faced the same problem few days back. Relax.

Actually if you must have noticed that there is another app called GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE or similar name.
when u open play store that PLAY SERVICE app also updates itself.
So just try explorin the PLAY STORE on your phone. Give it a few secs. It'll be ready.
Spend some time surfin on the Play Store so that it gets time to update itself.
It has worked for me.

Dont use two different Gmail IDs. Check if you have Google Play Services (or something like that). Make sure your device is synced with your gmail ID.

Login with your id, sync your device with it, check under Gmail settings, install google play services app. If the problem persists, contact google via email. May be it is mistaken that your account has been accessed from a device that isn't listed in your previous access details. Are you sure that you first used this account on phone and then tried it on PC ? May be they're treating your phone as an untrusted source of access.
If you don't wanna bang your head over all this, just create a new Gmail account and access it via your phone.

I double checked all the things u asked me to...problem still persists...
I was suspecting a change in the android user id or something like that...it usually comes up after flashing a new rom...titanium asks me if I want to restore the previous user id so that my device is still recognized as the same one that it was before flashing...but I don't know more technical details on this matter...
So since ur a developer,I guess u know the technicality of this matter...I just feel the reasoning for the problem must be in that direction of thought...please help me if u can think of something that could have gone wrong...

First... I ain't a developer You can call me experienced. But no one knows everything. You can say we know enough, but not everything. When unusual problems like this arise, everyone find themselves in a dilemma. Then someone somehow finds a way to nail it or someone works out wonders. Until somehow the problem is solved, learning never stops in xda ! Our Ace forum is so tremendous that we find so much of varied and relevant cases here that can't be found anywhere else on xda and that makes this forum a stand out and hell awesome !
Talking about your problem, did you try the titanium backup trick ? Sometimes it is just a sequence of steps to solve it. You can just follow it. Like, titanium backup fixes the bad integration of superuser for example. As far as my conscious goes, a new Gmail id should definitely solve it. But if you're concerned about sync and purchases, I'd recommend you to contact google via email or the titanium backup Dev as he might know how to nail this since he's provided a possible solution to the prevailing problem. Last resort, wait for someone more learned to respond or go try to nail it yourself, can't help It's happened to me before
