I've never seen that problem on any other handset with the Facebook app.
I tried a data clear with no joy. Then a data clear and uninstalled the app (system app), are installed from market and still the same problem.

A quick google search shows that many people have had this problem with the FB app from time to time. And they weren't on the G300.

In fact if J just type FACEBOOK ANDROID B into google it suggests "BLACK SCREEN" and "BLANK SCREEN" as the top two.

Terrible Update

The app used to be great minus the few annoying bugs aka wouldn't always load pictures right. Now all I get is my connection times out with anything and everything can't even pull up my notifications let alone my news feed. This was the WORST update I have ever seen

Slow and glitchy

I have the lucid and as precious reviews said, its slow and awful. Black screen, blank screen, can't like or comment. I won't be using fb mobile anymore

I cant believe how bad this facebook app keeps getting.

I feel like everytime i get on this app something else wrong happens, and thats horrible cuz im on it everyday like 5 times a day. Sometimes it wont let me like any posts. Almost everytime i try to look at a picture it freezes up and wont load the pic so iback out hit it again and it only shows the tags in the picture then i back out hit it again and it finally shows the picture or it just crashes. App crashes at least 2 times a day running on a fully updated Evo 4g and on wifi so its not my internet. FixIt

Btw Firefox Android running Phoney Add On gives you a completely working Desktop FB if you can put up with zooming in and out everywhere. Telling FB to use the desktop version of the site in standard Android browser is buggy but using Firefox set to identify itself as desktop firefox works well for me.

I have given up on FB on the G300 and just use Flipboard as a replacement now, cannot do some of the facebook bits like messages but it is fine for basic viewing and posting.

Since yesterday i´m trying to bake a new rom to revert swap partition to stock in the kitchen, but i always get this message:
There are currently no servers available to service your request due to a high number of builds currently in progress - please try again later.

If i use prebake rom will work? or have to wait that kitchen works?

Regards!

[PaulOBrien]

Fixed, apologies!

It's possible do the repartition on ICS ROMs?

[PaulOBrien]

Yes, i'll add this option.

Is your partitioning code available somewhere?

Hi guys,

I have a friend looking to spend no more than £100 on an android smartphone.
I saw this and it looks like a great phone for the price.

What's everyone's thoughts on it?
Is there something better I should consider advising my friend to buy?

Thanks in advance.

[samjam]

It is similar hardware to HTC desire but for storage. My brother has had the desire for some time and advised my dad to buy the g300

I since bought the g300 for me.

I won't be recommending any other phone for a while

Idle is losing 1% per hour, with 2 GMail accounts, weather widget, and a twitter widget also...
Not so bad ?

[fraska]

Any news?

[Colin Whiteside]

As far as I know our benign overlord is waiting for the official Voda release. Going from my Ascend and its lovely bugs on interim updates, like forgetting which SD card is actually real I don't think that's a bad thing.

hi there guys and paul and hello from south wales ,
i have followed this thread for some time , im running this rom now and all in all very good indeed .
i have a question i downloaded a ICS rom and wanted to flash every time i flash though either via cmw or update via software upgrade im getting update failed .
is it something to do with the update that i have done with this rom and could you please point me towards how i can upgrade from here.

the software upgrade in storage really killed me it unziped and when it went to install failed.
CWM did the update and then stalled at the huawei spash screen .
sorry for my newbness and any help would be very very helpful
keep up the good work and thanks for having a look .
Chris .

P.s Paul will you be doing the same for ICS as you have done with this rom?.

[nedmundo]

I'm not sure why, but when I install this on top of official ICS 4.0.3 b926, I lose my IMEI number, which cannot be restored, despite a backup.

Thankfully, it's fine when I revert back to stock.

Any ideas?

[droiddruid]

This is a gingerbread based rom and as such is incompatible with a phone running ICS without following the instructions in one of the downgrade threads.

[nedmundo]

Doh!

[alexslane]

Hi guys can anyone please help me with my question?
