This is specific to the actual Facebook application version which is not dictated by Sony. You would be best to keep any eye on the Play Store for updates to this application as they tend to change the layout frequently.

Yup, I noticed that as well. Not that I mind. But apparently, I seem to be not receiving notifications as well. I checked all settings and it looks in order but notifications sometimes work, and then sometimes they don't work.

Version 1.9.6. After flashing ICS, I have upgraded the app once. No available update yet on Google Play.

That's the latest update, I don't see that much of the difference can you take some screenshots and point out the difference?

Timeline seems to be missing now from the FB app. It used to show in Timeline before, including the cover photo, now it doesn't:

But that's fine with me. I was just wondering about the notifications as I am intermittently getting notifications in the app.

sir youre from Philippines too!, i would just ask if how did you update youre Xperia S on ICS, did you use the PC Companioin or SUS, or you just manualy flash it with the flash tool?...im from the philippines too yet my SI number stil not on the list,,,,

Hey, Karlo! What's happenin', man! Yup I am from the Philippines.

I flashed mine. Call it excitement (impatience). I used the flash tool and followed the steps in XperiaBlog.net. It's cool. However, update at your own risk. Take note that if in the process you happen to damage your phone, then you might lose your warranty. That said, the procedure was failry easy and understandable for as long as you follow the instructions carefully.

I still recommend waiting for the official update, but if you're as excited as I am, let me know how it goes. If you need help, just let me know.

Cheers, mate! Enjoy your Xperia S!

Thanks man, just wanted to ask did you back up your previous firmware the .75?..

Re: Facebook app xperia s android 4.0.4

almightybong — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 05:52:03 GMT

I was a bit of a cowboy, so I didn't. Just make sure that you do not have any files you would like to keep on your phone memory. Move them all to the internal memory. Sync your contacts to Google. All your apps will definitely be gone, but you can install them later once you setup Google on your phone.

To be sure, I will say backup your current firmware.

Another thing here sir, if i flash my XPS manualy, can i still do the repair using the SUS so it would download and install me the (shall we say) Legal update...?and how about the updates on the apps on Play store does it function and give you updates?

thanks,,

That's what I was trying to do and my recent attempt has been unsuccesful. Although I would attribute that to the fact that there is just too much traffic going on with the Sony servers at the moment. There will be no notable differences between the Swiss version though and the "official" update. Based on my own understanding, whenever you use PC Companion or Sony Update Service, once it finds out that you have the latest software, it can still give you an option to repair it-- and that's how you can install the "official" one. The repair service downloads the update from Sony servers and installs it in your phone to complete the process. By doing so, it sorts of overwrites your current OS installation. At least that's how I think it works.

Regarding Google Play, yes it does function as expected. I actually have pending updates in fact.

Out of curiosity, are you on Smart or Globe?

Re: Facebook app xperia s android 4.0.4

KarloGaderel — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 06:24:12 GMT

Im on a Globe sir,' does the network affects the updates?, i choose globe coz of the widest coverage and the speed on mobile internet browsing,,

Re: Facebook app xperia s android 4.0.4

almightybong — Tue, 26 Jun 2012 06:26:20 GMT

On the contrary, I don't have signal with Globe when I'm in Batangas. Which is why I'm on Smart. Globe is great when in Manila, but it's the same with Smart too. In terms of price, I like Smart better. Globe's a bit expensive on mobile internet.

You'll be surprised how quick the process is.

After the update, I just had to reinstall my apps, restore my contacts and redo my settings... That's it.
