Facebook Build 141046 in Notification bar?

[bluespyder117]

Found a fix by accident. Connect to a Wi-Fi source. It will automatically stop trying to download. Also on a side note it now shows up in the market for me but when it gets to 98% downloaded it says definitions invalid so I still can't update Facebook but at least I am No longer stuck in an infinite battery draining loop!

I had the same problem. I deleted Facebook and reinstalled it to no avail. I then went to went to applications, manage applications chose all on the top, scrolled down to two icons which both said downloads pressed force stop on both. This seemed to fix the problem. Download bar in notifications is gone and it seems that Facebook is working fine now.

I have a Samsung Stratosphere.

I hope this helps someone. I get really frustrated with this type of problem.

Good luck!

I went to the list of all apps > downloads> and it showed the Facebook Build 141046 in the list, so I cancelled it and it took the notification away.

Facebook pushes Android update to enable silent updates (bypassing the Play Store) - Liliputing

Facebook sucks.

I went to the downloads in the apptray then checked it and deleted it. So far it has worked. I find it strange that facebook would send out a build directly to the phones without going through the play store. I also find it strange that there trying to force it on my unlocked Nexus without my permission.

I went under other downloads, checked the box, and trashed it lol.. dunno what it was for nor do I care. If it was important enough, I'm sure it'll come back lol but it hasn't for a while now.

 

[snatchclaw]

this also worked for me and seems to be simplest solution.

TY LindaJ I did exactly what you said on my phone and it got rid of it right away. It was in other downloads. It was driving me crazy! I had tried everything from removing the battery to reinstalling facebook. Not sure what it was or why it was there but facebook still seems to be working fine.

This is a facebook update related to it's recent Netflix integration. See this article:

Obviously something is wrong with the update process since it is manifesting this way... it ought to have come through as an app update from the Play Store. I let mine run all day and it never went away. Will try your guys' download menu fix. TY!

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice, folks. I was well and truly stymied and incredibly irritated by this "build" all day, but a combination of the suggestions in this forum did the trick. Yay!
On my Droid Charge, I had to:
1) Turn on Wifi
2) Go to Downloads
3) Select Other Downloads
4) Check the box next to: Facebook build 141046
5) Click Clear Selection
