Facebook App appears twice on One UI launcher on Note 9 - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

Hello,
I've noticed that ever since the last official OneUI updare for the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 I get two options for opening facebook links that point to the same app. Is this safe or is my phone hacked/insecure? Android security patch level is July 2019.
Cheers!

humm maybe something having to do with dual messenger or something?
i dont use facebook but check that menu none the less.

Hi man, that was a good suggestion, I had no idea what Dual Messenger is, but after some digging I know now that it's used to access different accounts for some apps that would normally use just one login. Unfortunately it's off for both facebook and (facebook) messenger. So there might be something else, also the name of the app itself is the same.

maybe 1 old preloaded Facebook from stock and another from an other source(sideload or from an store like aptoide). just go to system /apps and delete/disable/uninstall it). if you see 2 then theres ure issue. uninstall both and get a fresh copy off of playstore. then check if it is still there 2x in ure choices when u open a link. if yes then i suspect you might have some other app maybe faking it? idunno...

i have the same issues. as we know that facebook came pre installed in our phone, so my guess is that one is the pre installed version and one is the version that got updated in playstore. this issue needs to be addressed by the samsung. hopefully in next update.

Missing Apps in Market after update to FroYo

So I updated to FroYo manually thanks to the methods posted here. I've nearly reinstalled all my apps with the exclusion of one; Square. I cannot find it in the market and thought maybe the dev pulled it, but it shows up in 2.1 and web-based market browsers, just not in 2.2. Anyone else experiencing this? Can I just force the apk onto the phone somehow?

Same here.. seems like the copy protected apps are having problems.
This is not root or something else regarded - everyone has these issues.

Great to hear I'm not alone, but being an early adopter can sometimes blow (in the BAD way) =\
Is this being discussed in another thread? I did a search prior to posting and came up empty
EDIT: Mods, thanks for moving this to the appropriate forum. I've seen mention of this issue appear in various threads, though no thread of it's own. Will wait for devs to catch up with 2.2
I reported the same problem on modaco last night... I'm sure google will enable de protected apps this week, just a slight oversight on their side.
i had same problem, just put them apk on your sd card and install it. if it is being a stubborn app like a certain few just copy/paste or move them to data/private-app and install from in there. should take care of it 4 u.
Same problem here (Tapatalk Pro and Extended Controls missing).
when you create an app you can set a max api level to support, or not.
applications that have that set won't show on newer devices.
exzeus, square, and a few others seem to have done it...
give them about a month or so and you should see them come around.

reporting in for the same problem!
My App ICE Donate wasn't found either.. I removed the copy protection until Froyo is officially listed - it can be found and downloaded again
I'm missing cachemate, I only see the free version and I've check the box for all sources for apps. astro will not install from my backups

found out if you sign in via wifi (as I've been doing - maybe even if you skip update at the beginning) things don't work right with the market...since my account is suspended I eventualyl signed in with my cousins sim and yea, it all works fine now...

This cant be the reason. i did only do signin via edge!
Having the same issue here. Wife's N1 can't find WeatherBug Elite, or the Helix Launcher in the market. Even after reboot.
Same. Paul actually fixes it in his roms by changing the Rom fingerprint. Some of the unofficial nexus updates he integrated did the same thing to protected apps. Once fingerprint was changed, it seemed to have done the magic. I'm guessing that he will do the same next week for froyo.
Same here my paid app wont show up which means I may be losing sales so I'm pissed right now
Yeah, so no MLB app at the moment... which makes me unhappy.
Any word on an official response from Google yet on this issue?
theres a fix in this thread:

Good looking out. Google needs to address this fast though for the non tech people (and potential app customers)

Ascend P7-L00 woes

Hi all, i have an Ascend P7-L00. knew everything was gonna be crap when i did a first sign in of google. but didn't noe it was going to be this bad.
1.) Google Accounts can't sync contacts. i have tried formatting the phone a few times
2.) mobile signal on slot1 will drop every once in awhile
3.) GPS signal will drop every few km travelled
4.) installed nova launcher cos the stock is real slow! my 2yrs old note2 doesnt have non of those issues at all. haiz.
Don't have the issue with sync, but I have the P7_L10 though.
Reception of signal is little more worse when I compare it with my prev phone: Sony Xperia S
Speed is good in my opinion.
haiz, now in thailand, using a local sim on slot1, occasionally it will show i am roaming, and no data is available, turning on data roaming doesnt get internet back on also.

I am experiencing similar problems with:
1) same problems for the google account. other people found solutions, but i just use outlook account instead for the time being. as remember the P7-L00 is a China unicom phone. so i try to workout how to report these to Huawei. buy i think you can send email to their USA or Europe support center: [email protected]
i will try to write a summary and send to this address. i think you need to do the same. otherwise no one knows what is going on?
2) 4G lte ( i am using Telstra's 1800mhz 4G), some times the signal drops, and the phone is trying to scan for wifi even i had wifi turned off. looks like there are some bugs there. it is very annoying when i am using skype to chat with someone, the in every few minutes i need to turn on the data again. somehow it switches off by itself, then start to scan for wifi ( even with the wifi disabled)? i did not see this problem until i start to use skype.....
4) the phone is very fast after i had removed/ disabled most of the Chinese apps. it is faster than my note 7105 lte.
hope anyone else can share some of the experience about these.

I do not update anymore, because in my eyes the Chinese ROM updates only prevent customisation on the phone.

i have just updated this new 124 version. it seams a bit smoother. but i will test the 4G LTE signal drop issues to see if the new version fix the problem. the new rom has new baseband. i think it may help the signal in 4G/3G, etc.

i would try to unroot it first. and doing a factory reset, then install the new factory 124ps01 firmware. I have two sim cards, the OTA is not ready yet, so i installed the upgrade via usb drive. just connect to a usb drive to your phone, and select update from usb.
most chinese apps can be removed, then only few huawei's apps which can be disabled. the new firmware experience is good, especially the network signal, and battery performance. i left the phone with airplane mode at 11:00 pm, and this morning at 9:00, it did not even drop 1% at all. tried few skype and other voip calls, and found that the 4G signal is more stable than before. the phone is also very fast. i was trying to root the phone before, but giving up due the new firmware does not allow root at this moment. but i think the factory firmware is optimized and it is very fast - much faster than my note 2 that i can compare with. so i am happy. i will give it a few more days test to see how it is going.

How to install Gapps to P7-L00
Everyone having problems with Google service on his/her P7-L00 (or other Chinese market variant) should be aware of the bad news: the phone simply lacks the good-old Google apps. But the good news is that you can install all required apps without rooting and/or flashing the phone. You can install them as any other Play app. It is so because the firmware has built-in two core apps: the GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk. These apps enable to install further Google apps.
The simplest way is to search the web for 'Google Installer' app (I think here, in XDA it's also present), download it and install to phone, and then the app itself provides a list from which you can choose the apps you need (Play Store, Gmail, Search, Hangouts, Translate -- whatever!).
Take note that both GoogleCalendarSync and GoogleContactSync app are very important to install otherwise you would not be able to use you Contact and Calendar apps with your Google account.

Same here too friend. They kill me with these updates, they fix 10 problems and create 5...wow!
Well, for what reason i have none but i rooted and then un-rooted it back to the u2 update(the newest one) set everything back up, installed office apps and viola it worked. clueless::
Best i can figure is the OTA breaks it whereas updating through odin, its fine.

Samsung Calendar

Is there another app that comes as close as possible to Samsung's stock calendar app? I just love how it performs and I can't seem to get its apk working on other phones. So if/when I do use another phone as my daily, I'd like to use a calendar app that's the closest to Samsung's. Google calendar is not an option. I've tried it a few time. Don't like it. If you've used Samsung's calendar app regularly, you'd understand why I prefer it.
Alternatively, if you've figured out how to install the Samsung stock calendar app on other phones, please share how you made it work. Thanks!
I like the calendar app, but I can't stand the way it shows notifications. Why can't we get normal android notifications from it is beyond me
Because of this, I prefer Google's calendar app, their implementation of looking for locations is better than Samsungs.

I have the Samsung Calendar on my Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I have used it for well over a year now. It has suddenly lost all of my appointments. They just disappeared yesterday. How can I retrieve those? I need them for dr appointments. I have several chronic illnesses and rely heavily on a working calendar. Thanks.

Everyone is getting that bug after 10.4 update. The only solution is to wait for the next update which is in development right now and may release Oct 2nd or 3rd week. Xiaomi released a beta ROM for devices and pulled it back. A stable one is on the way. Just wait.
damnnn...haha, i though its my own fault for messing apps, etc......turns out every one got the same issue. i have tried uninstall and install again. same problem still exists. im still curious whats causing all of this
if you don't have Facebook, you will get similar notifications but for other apps, like Netflix for example. And if you uninstall that too, it will be for Chrome...
No fix that i know of.
I also thought that i was the only one who is getting this message. I too uninstalled play store and Facebook and reinstalled them but still getting same error. Seems like OS bug after update to 10.4 as this wasn't the case for previous OS version.
Guess we will have to wait for another OS update

This is one of plenty of bugs in the 10.4 update which includes frequent restarts, overheating issues, fingerprint scanner slow etc. Hopefully the update will come this month and rectify all issues. Till then no option but to bear with the bugs.

I tried your way but still can not solve the problem.
I am using redmi k20 pro with eu xiaomi rom 9.11.7
From the beginning, i think using beta Facebook can solve the problem but 1 or 2 days later the issue is back and still happen.
Maybe you are lucky.
Unistal Facebook , clear cache / data in Facebook services (system app) , clear cache / data in Play Store . Then reboot phone and instal FB from play store .
