I am seeing a weird thing with the Facebook android app on my S7. Everything is working except for photos. Basically I see an exclamation triangle on top of every friend's photo and the same goes for all the pics in my albums. Has anyone of you seen this bug? Appreciate any response. Thanks.
PS: On my EVO 4G photos show up properly, so I know it's not related to a temporary glitch in Facebook servers.
Have you tryied to update the facebook application?

Yes, I have downloaded the latest FB app from the market, v1.5.2, and it has the "no photos" issue. The mobile web version of FB works fine and so I made a bookmark to it and use Facebook that way.
Still very puzzled why the app doesn't work. Do you have the S7? Does FB work on yours properly?
Yes I have an S7 and fb work great no problem with photos. Did you removed applications from system? ...because FB use the native android photo viewers.

I have it working now. All I had to do is uninstall the latest update(1.5.2) and go back to the factory installed version. The photos all show up.
Something is wrong with S7 and some app updates. The latest market FCs whereas the factory installed version works without any issues.
Anyone else noticing that since getting the new market, multiple apps on the Nook Color won't update? They just show open, and I presume would not let you install them at all?
The new Windows Phone 7 clone market seems to show apps even if you can't install them, so sounds like that's what's going on but can't figure out why.
Waze, Facebook, Wifi Analyzer.. I think I saw another one too.
Solution is found, although still a tad quirky. You must have the new market and follow this procedure:

Ah hah! You are correct. Clearing market data at 161 caused me to lose my apps again. So it seems the full process is as follows: (and note I've never force closed the app, not sure why that should be necessary.
1) set dpi to 160 in build.prop
2) reboot
3) clear market app data (force close first may help?)
4) restart market, accept terms, let it rebuild data at 160 dpi
5) profit

And another procedure, similar, with a few extra steps.

If you update your CM7 or otherwise go back to 161 DPI, the market will eventually stop letting you update again. You can redo the procedure above to fix it. And if you you find your Apps list is empty you can try using AppBrain, it will list updates and you can update them one at a time. Not sure about installing new apps that otherwise would be "incompatible" this way, however.
Thanks to everyone that figured this stuff out, the two posts above are only examples which seem to work, there are other folks who started the ball rolling towards a solution.
New market updates multiple apps for me.
Only problem is that sometimes even if some app is already updated, it still shows it at updating list.
i constantly have to clear data for the new market to work properly. Have you tried that? I know after I clear data I get a notification that updates are available.

By that do you mean clear the notification list? I wouldn't want anyone to read that and go ahead and wipe their data.
Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data.
I constantly have to do this as well.

Oh, sure, it's updating some apps.. Just some are showing up without the ability to update.
Like I know at least a few apps have updated and they don't show up as needing updates. Or look at Appbrain, you can always see app updates there regardless of the market.
Seems like it's just filtering more apps than it used to. I'm about to remove the new market, it sucks anyway.
Silly question, but how do you guy get the new Market?

Installed automatically on my NC.. Lucky me. There are also apk's floating around.
I'm having a similar problem since updating to nightly 142. Certain icons are no longer visible in Launcher, Advanced Uninstaller, or Titanium Backup. When I visit the Market I'm not given the download box in the header or an update option. Almost as if the app is incompatible with the device. I tried the Applications>manage apps> market> clear cache; clear data procedure with no different result. I did get the message when returning to Market, so I guess I cleared something. The effected apps ( that I'm concerned about ) are Facebook and, of course, Angry Birds. Couple others as well. Thanks for any suggestions

Thanks, m8.
You aren't the first one saying "it automatically updated" but surprisingly, mine doesn't. Don't know why.
Yes, I can see some Vendor (Vending?).apk floating around the net but no clue which version they are.

Didn't help the issue at hand here for me either, unfortunately..
Sorry you're having the same issues. I also posted to the cyanogen forums and am still waiting for another reply to the post. That's where the Titanium Backup suggestion came from. Here's hoping for another suggestion here.
It doesn't seem like the market notifies you if an app needs a manual update due to changing permissions anymore. Also I get a Appstore and market both saying I need to update Amazon mp3 and after I update one the other app store will still say it's not updated so you have to update again in order to clear the two out

I am having the same issue as the OP. Agenda Widget Plus and Facebook disappeared from my "MyApps" list but can be found by searching. I have the new market and going into settings to clear data and cache for market did not help. Had been working without issue previously. I am running n146.

I disabled MarketUpdater.apk last night and uninstalled Market updates and I STILL am having problems with SOME apps.
Oddly, I can see Waze again, but I still cannot 'see' the Plus version of Android Agenda Widget and a few others. I CAN see the free version of Android Agenda Widget, go figure. For some reason I can usually see apps in AppBrain that need updating, but those apps have also disappeared from AppBrain, so I'm not sure what I'm missing currently.
Damn you Google, what are you doing?
Same situation for me. Went to a backup of an earlier nightly that still had the old market and even there Agenda Widget Plus was missing. Also checked the android market web site and it shows Agenda Widget as incompatible with NC. How does the market determine whether an app is compatible with a device? I contacted the Agenda Widget developer and he said he had not changed anything.

I'd kinda like to know that as well. When I originally downloaded the crappy Facebook app I had no problem. But when I go to the market on the website now it says it is not compatible even though it works fine. I suspect now that the market is "device aware" any of my installed apps that get updates will not show if the app is no longer considered compatible so I will be stuck with the older version.

My guess is that Facebook can use the GPS, or Microphone, Camera... some hardware we don't have.
This is new behavior, at least changed behavior, and it's very annoying.
I've read that "device aware" suggestion in a few places, and decided to try the build.prop edit that I've read about elsewhere. Changed the device name to Samsung S and manufacturer to samsung. It didn't make a difference. I also can't understand why Angry Birds and Checkers could be device specific. The Market definitely knows I've got Nook because it is grayed out in the drop down box. I hope brighter minds than mine can come up with a work around.
Hello,
I have very strange problem :s
Ok, so let's start at the begining. I was using Viper ROM for like almost a year and everything was working great (devs tnx again for the ROM). Now i got new phone and give the m7 to my mom. I wiped the data in TWRP and restart the phone. Then i sign in google with her mail and start downloading apps. At first everything was OK but then second update for chrome come in and google play crashed. I also tried to install candy crush but after confirming permissions google play crashed. Then i installed sports tracker and it seems to be working until I started new workout - the app crashed. I also tried to install runtastic. App installed but after facebook log-in crashed... At this point I dont know whats happening to m7 :s
Things I already tried:
1) I wiped everything, reinstall the viper rom (again no success at the google play)
2) I flashed two other ROMs (crdoid - 6.01 and HD revolution 93) again google play was crashing and also sports tracker + runtastic (now I even tried 4 more sport tracking apps - all crashing :s)
3) Now im back at viper 9.0.0 FIX and google play still crashing.
If you have any ideas what this could be please let me know.
P.S. Some apps like evernote, es file manager, facebook... can install and they are working great without google play crash.
and also i tried fixes like this: http://forums.androidcentral.com/spr...i-pull-up.html
Only sport tracking app that works is google fit.
Hello,
having the same issue and can't find any solution.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Hey, guys. While using Facebook and Facebook Messenger apk, when I try to share externally and select the Messenger apk, I receive "Messenger failed to load attachment." I'm currently on Lite 7.0, and I've tried another stock 7.0 ROM. Same issue. I've tried to uninstall the apk, cleared the data within Messenger apk, and have even tried to clear all device cache. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks!
fix it???
solution.. remove anything facebook from the device
(just kidding, i just hate facebook on any of my devices, or anything related to)
Yeah, I know a lot of people are anti FB. I like it. Use it daily. And don't mind the cons. Just want it to function properly, lol.

dont mind me, i was just reflecting on my opinion of the app from a few years ago. have you checked if that function works for others btw?
It's borked in the latest beta also so..........
Sharing to Messenger using other apk works. Photos, G+. So, it does appear to be the FB apk on 7.0 then. I didn't have this happen on NP5.

maybe they just have to fix it for 7.0, but that would be on facebooks side.

It's with the fb app updates it was doing it with dp5 also
Click the three line menu button scroll all the way down and select report a problem. List what device fb app version number and what Android version you are currently running
And tell them what is happening. I just reported it also
so this started happening since i upgraded to android 10...basically it keeps saying updating and downloading feature for facebook, it goes away sometimes but comes back everytime i open the app
anyone had the same problem or any solutions?
also i need to use the official fb app as i work for a company called appen and that requires the use of the official app, otherwise would have switched to folio by now

i wonder if it has an effect on battery life cos it seems much worse on android 10 imo (although i did dirty flash)
I have similar "occurrence" with Google Chrome and after recent Chrome update i don't have this "issue" anymore.
So, do tell?!
Mysterious are Facebook's paths!

never had a problem with chrome but i froze fb with tb and only unfreeze it when i need it for work now...still so weird how no one has any idea what the issue is
1. uninstall both Facebook and Messenger
2. install them back from apk not Playstore
3. uncheck "auto update" for both on Playstore
For the workaround, uninstall the Facebook app that was installed using Play store and download an alpha or beta version of Facebook.
so downloading the fb beta version via apk seems to have sorted the problem for now...thanks to the 2 guys who suggested it ^
installing latest facebook beta version fixed for me
so issue is with facebook
same problem on xiaomi eu rom also with google Chrome and netflix
