Facebook on Lumia 640 with Windows insider fast build

[Manu Guledgudd]

Hi,
I have Lumia 640 & installed windows insider preview fast ring. Microsoft has removed their Facebook app.

Facebook app from Facebook is crashing repeatedly. Looks like it is heavy to open on 640.

And also, there is feed available on people hub and individual contact.

Please suggest how to overcome this issue.

And it is not due to the fact that it is too big for your phone. I have a 640 and the app works, but it has some issues as you can see...

I have the beta on my 640 and it works much better than when they just started.

I've noticed that moving the app from the SD card to the device memory helped a lot... Example. When the app was on my sd card, when I opened it, it would crash on the splash screen. Would have to try about two or three times before it opens. On device memory it opens great every time.

Now i'm not saying it does not crash at all.... But i'm happy with the experience. I can use the app without worrying if it's going to crash every time during use.

re:

Yes, looks like its better on device. I have reinstalled on device. Hope it continues to be stable.

Still pathetic in terms of stability. I don't understand why MS has removed their app when Facebook inc. doesn't have stable from their end.

LOLOLOLOLOL because people oh so desperately wanted apps from the official company/devs, now we have it and even that isn't good enough. A lot of droid users even avoid the official FB app and go for 3rd-party apps.

Anyhu this is not MS's fault FB devs need to optimize

True, FB has to do better quality control. Initially i thought It's only on my mobile. But it's generic issue. People have rated low to this app.

I use FB version 10.3.2.0 on my 640 (ATT variant) running W10 14393.105 with and find it to be satisfactory.

Good to know. In that case it might be due to insider fast ring related. Hope this will be resolved within this week build.

It is not a problem with the build. I am on the latest insider build as well and the facebook app (beta)works great.

When I switched my fb app from SD to phone it worked much better and it crashed less. But im have a L830 so it may be different for me
