Blinkfeed and Gallery changes on 4.3 update - Sprint HTC One (M7)

Everything seems to be working fine now on my phone. Finally figured out how to update my firmware. A couple of things that I noticed are:
1 - When touching a Facebook link on Blinkfeed, its does not take you to the post on your Facebook app anymore.
2 - The gallery app does not show pictures and videos for any online services. It only displays what is actually in your gallery. Before the update you would be able to see pictures from Facebook and other services. I have fixed this issue on my phone by just swapping the gallery app back to the version in Android 4.1.2. You can still select a track from your music library to use with a Zoe.

1. I get the same thing.
2. Not sure about that.

I haven't updated to 4.3 yet and I'm not able to go to a facebook link from blinkfeed. I think it may be something with facebook itself because it's been freezing up a lot for me lately as well.

I'm not sure if its an issue that came with the update or if they are just a couple of bugs from being rooted.

I am also on Facebook beta and the last update seemed to break this. I was not working before or after the update.

I guess one way to test this is by getting a non beta version of the Facebook app.

I was on Facebook beta and this broke before I even updated the phone to 4.3 It's a Facebook issue. I ended up leaving the beta, and I also did a factory reset of my phone because some FM radio service kept crashing when I was in the music player and it got irritating. Facebook works fine for me now.

No Photos in Facebook

I am seeing a weird thing with the Facebook android app on my S7. Everything is working except for photos. Basically I see an exclamation triangle on top of every friend's photo and the same goes for all the pics in my albums. Has anyone of you seen this bug? Appreciate any response. Thanks.
PS: On my EVO 4G photos show up properly, so I know it's not related to a temporary glitch in Facebook servers.
Have you tryied to update the facebook application?

Yes, I have downloaded the latest FB app from the market, v1.5.2, and it has the "no photos" issue. The mobile web version of FB works fine and so I made a bookmark to it and use Facebook that way.
Still very puzzled why the app doesn't work. Do you have the S7? Does FB work on yours properly?
Yes I have an S7 and fb work great no problem with photos. Did you removed applications from system? ...because FB use the native android photo viewers.

I have it working now. All I had to do is uninstall the latest update(1.5.2) and go back to the factory installed version. The photos all show up.
Something is wrong with S7 and some app updates. The latest market FCs whereas the factory installed version works without any issues.

Facebook app

I couldn't find the official Facebook app in market... I have a rooted KFHD and have to do with browser access now.. ( I didn't look at Amazon app store nor did try sideload) has any one else been able to get FB on their KFHD?

Sideload the apk and it works.
Anyone figure out the issue with scrolling in the newsfeed on facebook. First time it goes to load more stories it gets all screwed up.

I downloaded friendcaster for the time being. Happy enough with it. You might have to uninstall the facebook app in order to get the permissions to work right. You can reinstall facebook after friendcaster is setup.
If you have play installed, the 2.0 version released this afternoon fixes this.

[Q] Picasa not syncing in Gallery app.

Hi, my mom just got an HTC first, which is running stock android 4.1.2. Everything is working great, except that instant upload is not syncing back to her stock photo gallery. She has Google+ installed and instant upload turned on, and that is all working perfectly. She has a nexus 7 running Android 4.2.2 and the photos she takes on her phone are syncing to her tablet perfectly, but they are not syncing back to her phone. Everything in her Google account is set to sync. I have Force stopped/Cleared Data and cache in the gallery app, but nothing I do gets is to work. I even had her add my dads google account to her phone (set only to sync Google photos), hoping that would force something to work, but his photos are not syncing to her phone either. Please help. I just finally got her to get an android phone because of all the awesome features it has, (Instant upload/Gallery sync being one of them), and it stinks that one of the best features is not working.I know she can access the photos through Google+, but its so much more convenient to have them in your gallery. Thank you for your help...
Does anyone else have this issue? Got my wife the same phone, and the issue is the same. Even if you don't have a solution, please reply with a, "yes I have the issue", or "no, it works for me.” I'd appreciate it.

Same thing here. I just bought the HTC First primarily for the stock android, and now the gallery app doesn't work with Google Photos...
It's weird that it is definitely connected to Picasa, as it can upload pictures to albums.
New stock app fixes this issue
The updated 4.3 Gallery/Camera stock app which was just leaked fixes this issue. It will now properly sync with Google Photos and display all your albums. The camera app is also spiffier as a nice bonus! :good:

Yeah, haven't had time to update, but... What he said! Δ I installed with no problems at all.

Com.htcsocialplugin has stopped....

All of a sudden I keep getting FC messages saying unfortunately com.htcsocialplugin has stopped. Constantly.. outta nowhere Today. Has anybody else been getting this? Never happened before. On 4.4.3 stock rooted rom
Been getting that also on both 4.4.3 and 5.0.2. I think it's a facebook related issue. Ran the app and fcs stopped.
Edit: Just appeared again when I ran instagram but app opened without issues and fced just once. And then I opened blinkfeed and fcs reapeared, weird. Guess it's not a facebook issue, it's htcs.

Feature for Facebook

so this started happening since i upgraded to android 10...basically it keeps saying updating and downloading feature for facebook, it goes away sometimes but comes back everytime i open the app
anyone had the same problem or any solutions?
also i need to use the official fb app as i work for a company called appen and that requires the use of the official app, otherwise would have switched to folio by now

i wonder if it has an effect on battery life cos it seems much worse on android 10 imo (although i did dirty flash)
I have similar "occurrence" with Google Chrome and after recent Chrome update i don't have this "issue" anymore.
So, do tell?!
Mysterious are Facebook's paths!

never had a problem with chrome but i froze fb with tb and only unfreeze it when i need it for work now...still so weird how no one has any idea what the issue is
1. uninstall both Facebook and Messenger
2. install them back from apk not Playstore
3. uncheck "auto update" for both on Playstore
For the workaround, uninstall the Facebook app that was installed using Play store and download an alpha or beta version of Facebook.
so downloading the fb beta version via apk seems to have sorted the problem for now...thanks to the 2 guys who suggested it ^
installing latest facebook beta version fixed for me
so issue is with facebook
same problem on xiaomi eu rom also with google Chrome and netflix
