[Q] Facebook Home - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having problems installing Facebook home on their phone, because everyone says that you can install it on the galaxy note 2, but its not working on mine it says my phone isn't supported?

I'm having the same problem. Thought it was cos I have an N7105 not N7100 but I'm not sure.

Make sure you have updated Facebook app.
Then in the Facebook app, go to settings and check "enable Facebook home"
I tried it for a couple of hours then uninstalled it.
But when I installed it the first time, I made my Nova launcher the default launcher.
That left the facebook home only as a lock screen and nothing else.
I think that as a simple lock screen it works better

I am on PAC man ROM and from india. Looks like Facebook home is not yet available in india.. Market says " app not found" any fix please?

Weird,. I just made sure both Facebook app and Facebook messenger were latest version and then straight install. No problems at all.

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.

OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Facebook build 132866 downloading automatically and taking forever

Since morning today, Facebook build 132866 downloading automatically and taking forever to finish. Its going on forever. Is anybody in this forum else facing this problem?
Quick Google search shows there are many people facing same issue. Looks like there is no update in play store. Is this something Facebook pushing directly ?

Facebook Home (Updated for any device)

Download the 3 files provided
Uninstall original facebook, facebook messenger and facebook home apps. If facebook is pre-installed then use root explorer to remove it
• Install com.facebook.katana (FB app), then com.facebook.home (Home app) and finally install com.facebook.orca.apk (Messenger app).
• Enable facebook home under facebook app settings then reboot your device.
• If you are still having problems getting it to work reboot into your recovery and wipe dalvik cache.

Chat heads for FB Messenger, anyone get it to work?

So the update came out and know quite a few people talking about it. If you update Facebook and messenger you now get this option without having to use Facebook home. Anyone get it to work? If you go to settings and notifications there's suppose to be a check box for chat heads but I'm not getting one

When you bring up the person you are chatting with, long press on the conversation and then you will see the option to bring up "pop up chat head"
Forgot to mention chat heads only work on Facebook messenger.

I had to uncheck 'Hide Statusbar' in Apex for it to work correctly.

This does not work for me. I've tried long pressing everywhere. I'm assuming if I don't have the option to turn it on under notification settings that it won't work for me at all.
I'm running 2.4.2 I've restarted the app and phone several times and reinstalled too

Open messenger,, then when the window comes up on the top left hand side should say messages.make sure that your settings allow pop up heads.
You do this by going into settings on the actual messenger app, then click on notifications, , then check "chat heads"
Now go back to messages window and hold down a conversation that you already have going.
On the conversation window that comes up tick the pop up heads option.
There you go hope that helps

I have the same problem as everyone else. I read somewhere that it has to do with the actual Facebook account.
Try to sign out of your account and then sign in to a friends account on your phone and test it out.
My long press selection options
Jayv81 you are right. It is related with the account. I key my gf sign into her account on my phone and the chat head option showed up. WTH! as soon as she log out, the option is gone.

I found a modded app that works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232307
I tried this one and it works just make sure and un install all current Facebook apps. Also I'm not a fan of the Facebook home and I uninstalled it after testing the linked method. And it still works.
All credit goes to theos0o
Long press options with modded apps
This does it. Finally! Thx

Slightly off-topic, but does anyone know how to un-stack the chat heads that pop up? I can see the multiple chat heads for each thread when I drag the circle, but they're all stacked and attached to each other.

I don't think you can unstack them.
Try Logging In To Facebook Application.It Worked For Me
If you're using CyanogenMod or any custom ROM....
Find your device full specifications on google and look for its original PPI pixel density or resolution.
download an app on playstore like 'screen resolution changer' and change it to its original resolution.
Hope it works

Hello, i have the same problem.. Facebook and those work. But Gmail doesnt work.. unless i open the app manually.
First go to settings/app manager/all apps/ Gmail, Show Notifications must be checked.
And Sync must be on.. check sync options for gmail and the other not working stuff. this happened to me when i updated Gmail.. not facing any problems with other apps.
Give me a Thanks Button If I Helped!
