After December update on my pixel 7 last night, I won't be able to load Facebook and Xda app. They are stuck at welcome screen. I did clear storage, reinstall the apps, but did not help.
I can't help much with Facebook, but I will say that the XDA app is known to be buggy. We recommend you simply use a web browser. Chrome works well for me.

Friendcaster is a hands down, far superior app for Facebook, then the Official Facebook app. It does it in less room, with a plethora of options the Official app doesn't have. I can do almost everything on Friendcaster I can online, and faaaaarrrrrrrrr more then the FB app. Try it!!
hmmm, I will have to check it out. Thanks for the 411
Thanks sinsin it is a better app than facebook android.
Bummer it doesn't have chat.
Black facebook! Its the best ! Its not in the market tho

seems to me that what this app does os mostly provide notifications of updates and then send you to the facebook app or the webpage to do updates or even simply reply to messages. Will have to play with it some more however.

Been forever. If you're using the free version it doesn't do half of what the paid one does. If youre using the paid version there are options in the settings to choose actions for things. So it really does everything better. Even the FB app forces you to the website for stuff. Plus the paid version of Friendcaster has a black theme, to answer the post before yours. Not sure what options the free version has so if you're using it read up on it. It may be limited to certain things and options.

Since yesterday i have been having alot of issues with Facebook app. I cant comment or like. Doesnt seem to show latest updates. Cant chat with my friends, i hear the facebook notification sound but window is clear. Is there a problem with my OB or fb app jus sucks? Thx.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Do you have any others device login as same account,resulting the FB server no respond.Or press menu / reflash
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Nope, OB is the only other device i use to login to FB other than my pc. When you say reflash, you reinstall FB app? Thx for the reply.
I've problems with FB app from LG.
Changed to FB original and all it's OK now.
Also you can try Seesmic or Tweetdeck.
Thanks! Will check it out.
Dont use lgs own crappy facebook app, compared to the crappyness of facebooks own app it is much worse. Best is to use facebook in the browser but then the chat probably wont work
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
I am quite surprised at how crappy even the official FB app is. I thought they were gearing up for dominating the mobile world by even releasing chacha and salsa but what difference does it make when their app sucks.
We can't see the photos section on anyone's profile page anymore ? Same app on my galaxy nexus shows it!
I'm hoping its happening for all of you too?

Mostly because the app developers for Facebook have never put out a good update that didn't break things? It's one of the worst development companies on the planet...if their services wasn't used by so many people they would have fallen off the radar a long time ago.
Give it 3 months and maybe it'll be fixed.

Still I've a problem with apps.

Stupid question but i beed to know why on the very latest release of the facebook app as to why when I post a status that it doesn't say the location.
I did check location on in the facebook app from the Google store.
I see people post their status and it says town/city when they post. At one time this worked and only once on the latest facebook release. Help! !!

Hey guys,
I just install the CM9 rom and I need basic apps like facebook for tablets (that fit well on the screen).
because I downloaded the facebook app and what I see in the central wall is a status with little words and a huge pictures.
same question here, the facebook app is terrible for GT 2

thanks, I will try the free version, looks good
The Facebook app for Gtab 2 7 sucks. I wish Facebook would just release a version that is optimized for Tablets.. Until then I just use my broswer to view the desktop version for Facebook.
friendcaster is very very very good app for facebook
+1 for Flipboard! I don't generally like the idea of a "newsreader", but this one is awesome! It actually can be connected up to Facebook and Twitter, is very easy to set up, and does a really nice job of aggregating news stories and formatting them so they look really nice on the 7" screen.
The first thing I always install is SwiftKey 3, which is pretty much my favorite Android keyboard app. There's a free version available for trial. For the GT2 7.0 you'll want to use the Tablet version (which is what I linked to).
Any one have luck updating gtalk to hangouts, I suppose if your rooted it's probably simple but if your unrooted as I am than the talk app is a system app bloatware and hasn't updated to hangouts

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.
You can do it via the play store through the webpage.
Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk
Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.
installed from web to device and rebooted phone
I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

This is how I did it. Still had a shortcut for Talk in one of my homescreen folders, but just deleted it and replaced it with Hangouts. I like it.

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.
I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.
