FACEBOOK UPDATE!!!

[EvilMonkey]

Seems Im not having this awake time issue that everyone is talking about.
uptime 6:50
Awake time 0:34
I upgraded last week when it came out?

It just came out 2 days ago.

Am I the only one not having these problems? The app hasn't caused a dramatic decrease in my battery life and I haven't had a FC since the first time I tried to open it after upgrading.

Makes me wonder if the issue is with the FB and it's interaction with Sense and/or Touchwiz. Using a Nexus One, the app seems to be running fine on vanilla Android.

Tried to get it to work for two days, too much awake time killing the battery. Uninstalled. Too bad, the user interface is an improvement.

I don't see these problems either on my Droid X.

I was on board with all of this until I spoke to my buddy who has been complaining about battery since the 2.2 update and he doesnt even have facebook on his phone.
Maybe there is an issue with facebook but it is not THE issue.

"Facebook for Android" on facebook just confirmed that they have pinpointed the bug and are working on a patch.

 

[Prospekt]

That's good news. At least they're starting to actually progress with the app.

 

[JoshH1]

Hopefully they'll squeeze a bit more functionality out of it in the next update.

I doubt it though.

I don't notice an issue on my EVO BUT I also run GOOD and that never allows my phone to go to "sleep". I wish there was as much pressure on Good to fix their issue as there has been on FB.

wierd how my evo is having the same battery life with the new FB both with official FROYO

I wonder if it is because I have FB notifications off

and my uptime and awaketime are not even close 20hrs vs 3hrs

I upgraded to the latest FB app on my X, but I think I'm having the battery issues. I'd like to uninstall the update. If I go to manage applications -> facebook -> uninstall, does it remove it completely, or will I revert back to the previous version? I don't want to give it up completely, just remove the last update.

It removes it completely on the droid x.

New version available in the Market. Let's see if it fixes the battery life issue...

Update: it definately doesn't fix the contact photo issue.

 

[Cagey48]

It's not running after you close it anymore, seems to be snappier..

Mine has been syncing for five minutes now with the 1.3.1 update.

Do you know if it fixes the multiple facebook contacts problem?

That, too. I have 50 links to the "nativefacebook" app foe each if my contacts. What the ****?

Nope. I turned off the contact sync after it was clear that the photo sync issue wasn't fixed, and I was already up to three
Fb contacts per

Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE!!!

Finally finished snycing, and didn't fix anything... just as you said.

Surely, once they've actually fixed this bug, we're not going to have to go through our own contacts, one-at-a-time, and remove all of the extraneous links. I will be furious if that's the case. Not sure exactly how they'll be able to do it from their end though, without risking removing the valid links, too.

What a complete clusterfrak!

I just noticed the multiple contacts for some of my contacts. So I went into facebook -> menu -> settings -> sync contacts , selected remove facebook data , then went to android accounts and sync and ran the sync from there. That cleaned up my phone contacts. Facebook photos still show up, they don't update though. Messages also show up under updates and events for the contact. Just glad to not have all the duplicate names in my contact list. This is for facebook 1.3.1 btw.
