Facebook on Android - bugged for anyone else?

[PalZer0]

I'm having massive issues with Facebook for Android as of version 1.9.4 (which I was updated to on my Transformer Prime).

1. Can't post status updates from my profile. Every time I try to do so, I get sent back to my profile with the status not posted.
2. Viewing posts in the news feed is broken after the first collection of more posts. There's no images and it looks like the posts have been stripped of their CSS.
3. Viewing all posts on a page is broken. Same symptoms as point 2.

Is anyone else having similar issues?

Facebook app on Android has never worked properly >_>

I just use the browser and go to the mobile version.. I find it loads much quicker then the app and it's pretty easy to use..

Seems crazy to do so though >_>

I abandoned Facebook for Android months ago. The mobile version takes longer to get into but is much more functional.

Too bad the mobile version looks like **** on a tablet (especially the extra large photos).

[Anon. E. Moose]

Yeah, latest app update pretty much killed functionality.
I stopped using it months ago and instead have been using Dolphin Browser for Facebook (As well as overall browser for my phone, sooo much better than the inbuilt browser, highly recommend), but that's been acting up today as well.

Ditto to what everyone else has said. It has always been a bit touch and go with mine, sometimes it loads pretty quickly, but most times, it just doesn't.

Might have to start doing what Moose said and use Dolphin to browse it. Hrm.

Seems to be back to normal now. Must've been related to the problems FB was having yesterday.

It's never new, mate. I always have problems posting and viewing my status. I uninstalled the app from my device and had to use a browser to use Facebook. I don't know why FB couldn't fix their app on both Android and iOS.

I've gone to using Friendcaster.

I've gone to using Friendcaster.

done this also.

how much better is dolphin browser... is it better than google chrome beta? I like the fact that I can sync bookmarks and history through my 2 comps and phone seamlessly

[PalZer0]

Reviving this because I'm now getting connection errors when using the search function and when viewing comments on people's pics.

Why hasn't FB developed a native Android app instead of just making the main core a display of the mobile site?

EDIT: The connection errors are everywhere - even so far as the notifications popout and news feed. The content will load but then I'll get a "Connection lost - tap to retry" error. I have to retry multiple times to actually get the intended content to display without redirecting to that error screen.

Not better than Chrome for me. Chome is still faster, and has all the sync functionality you mentioned. Bit of a resource hog though, but all phones on ICS should be able to handle it.

RE Facebook, I just use a direct bookmark to the mobile site. Similar in speeds and with full functionality (Friendcaster doesn't show peoples updates/wall posts for profiles which have "Not allow 3rd party applications to access my profile" ticked, as everyone should. Not surprising Facebook want to limit functionality for 3rd party apps, ugh). That being said I haven't tried the offical app in a while but judging by this thread I'm not missing much.

iv just plain given up on facebook. cbf with that **** anymore, the app is completly ****. iv gone back to oldschool and just calling friends instead of perving on them from afar.

[frigidhell]

I use facebook for my business and the load has just gotten worse. You can longer see friends pics, you can't share, you can't see your friends friend lists ,etc. It is so far off its hardly recognizable to the PC version. I have never written a review before as I usually feel the app is what it is, but this has just gotten worse and practically unusable in the past month or two. Sorry its just terrible.
