N8/Anna Latest Social App Problems

1) Social App will constantly connect to the internet (usually staying connected for 20-30 seconds), disconnect and reconnect - even when the app is closed - regardless of whether I am near to a known WLAN or not. With Social closed even if I manually disconnect the connection it will automatically and instantly open a new connection.
I did a 5min test to watch how much my phone downloaded (with no apps open - when it should not have connected at all) and it came to 235kb. Over the course of a full month this would be just over 2gig!!
The only way I can get around this is to log out of the social networks completely - but this means I have to add my passwords any time I want to check my social.
Before you ask - widgets are set to offline mode, no other programs are running (including push-mail).
2) Sloooooow!
Anyone else had the same? Anyone know of any decent alternative apps which would work? I've checked the Ovi Store and nothing is jumping out at me.
Cheers

 If you don't mind paying £1.50 you could try Fmobi available in the Ovi store. It has received some very good feedback from those that are using it.

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

  • How do I get Social App to work again on N8 Anna

    Stopped loading 3 weeks ago, have tried uninstalling and reinstalling via Ovi and it still won't load. Any ideas Thanks

    WEB TV is a third party service hence not Nokia responsibility. Mine vanished after the firmware update, but there are some still at OVI STORE you can download.
    If, in any moment, you did the three-finger reboot, there is no way to restore normal applications without taking your phone to Nokia Care Point.
    If not, there still a small chance of your phone, somehow in its existence, crashed some QT files by installing some third party applications. So, be sure you have not installed anything outside Nokia OVI Store. If you did, nokia care point only to save it.
    If it is not the issue, locate the Nokia.Mobi on your browser and install your social app from there. It is the only option you can use when OVI Store is not working. You can also reinstall OVI Store from there and your WEB TV apps.
    Try it on and remember to reboot your phone on every install.
    Cheers!

  • N8 Social App Err-Script Alert

    Of late im getting Script Alert while logging to Social App for Facebook.
    Has anyone experiencing the Social app error .It was well n Good previously
    Script Alert :
    Sorry,Please Uninstall or Re-Install Communities

    I too have this problem suddenly this weekend. Have been running my N8 for several months without this kinda problems. Have done nothing special and all of a sudden got the script error of 'uninstalling .. re-install'. Re-installing it with 'SW Update' only works when manually removing 'Social' AND 'Social Installer' (in dutch the latter is something like 'Inst.Social ..'). This will install version 1.2.163. But this still leads to the script error.
    Other solutions include manually installing "Social+Apps.zip", with intermediate reboots. This will install version 1.2.144 first and then 1.3.143. I have done this with all sorts of combinations with(out) reboots, but none of this helps.
    Installing 'Social' via Ovi-store of now, will result in the latest version (with an 'Anna' alike icon) 1.3.215. However this one also doesn't work anymore in this case. It will just give a script-alert like 'plug-in not loaded .. resuming in demo mode'.
    Searching on the net for solutiond, this one with the Factory reset (incl. delete data!) is the only one that seems to work .. but only when you don't restore your backup. I have read about someone who done this and it keeps working, but perhaps this person has done a partial restore? Don't know. Anyway, I had recently backuped all my things. I did remove the 'Social' app (and some dutch app called 'Buienradar' also - this one has given me black screens ever since) So my backup was quite clean. I did the 'Factory reset' plus 'Delete data' which gives an initial clean N8. After this even the latest version of 'Social' (1.3.215) works like a charm. And also my ducth app 'Buienradar' worked normally again. But .. after restoring my backup the problem is back...
    So it didn't solve anything for me ( And on the bad side, I also lost all my conversations from 'Whatsapp' during this backup/restore (wihich is weird on it's own also).. ( But anyway, perhaps someone has some other ideas on this? Perhaps a restore without 'application settings'? I don't know. Have spent soooo many hours on this stupid issue already, so I would very much like to have a working solution, please.
    thanks,
    tanya

  • Nokia N8 Social App crashing

    Recently everything was working fine including after updating to the latest version of social whatever version that was. Today i wanted to link some contacts with facebook account tried going into social and it kept crashing. At first it was just a white screen with back button and menu/action button on the bottom. After several uninstall re install uninstall and re install from computer, the "Welcome to Social" screen shows for about a second and then crashes. I really don't want to reset everything and start again, as my contacts synced to gmail servers and last time i restored it it duplicated everything in my contacts, it is a real pain.Any one else having this problem? how can i fix this?...
    side note might not be related i use to have this application called prayer times now its starting to show a white screen this was synonymous with the social app.

    I have had the same problem,  always having to enter my password.  Solution: don't log out; instead, just exit (from the bottom right).

    Can someone please tell me if the 'Social' app has been scrapped from the nokia ovi store?
    I'm not able to find it by even searching for it.
    P.S
    I need it because the afore mentioned problem repeated and I had to un-install it.
    P.P.S
    The latest version of 'Store' seems to be buggy. Update was not much of a help, rather a bother.

  • Social App not updating Feeds (N8)

    Hi,
    I've just updated my N8  to Anna and the Social app (1.3.237), entered my FB user details and can logon fine and post onto my Wall.
    Problem is that I can't update Friends walls, I view their profile and 'Refresh Feed' but I'm seeing very old comments, June is the last one... but I know they have more recent ones as I see them using FB on my desktop.
    I have tried removing my account and entering again, no joy.  I have also uninstalled Social and setup all again, but no joy.
    Anyone having a similar problem or have any more suggestions to fix this?
    TIA.

    Try Fascinate available for free from Nokia store. It's a fully functioning Facebook client with a home screen widget. Much better than Nokia's useless Social app.
    Ray.

  • Apple TV2 Just Disappeared from Remote app on iPad and iPhone after latest Remote app update

    I Have used Remote app on my iPad and iPhones to control my ATV1, ATV2, and ATV3 for years. After the latest Remote app update ATV2 has disappeared from tRemote, and I can no longer find a way to connect it. Any advice about this?

    Brilliant. Restarting did the job, and all is well. Since I have recommended this to others with other ATV problems, I'm a bit embarrassed that I didn't try it myself at the outset, and would probably have come around to trying it later, but you saved me some time. Thanks.

  • IPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update

    iPhone 5 pixelated images in various apps problem- occurred within last 2 months and must be a result of apple network driver update
    What's the fix?
    Tried reset, restart, reboot, reopen of apps same problem

    What do you mean by reboot? Do you mean restore? Because if you haven't restored, then that's the next step. You'll need a computer with the latest version of iTunes and a USB connector.
