Try turning off overlays
from frost-for-facebook.
Can confirm. Frost has been completely unusable for weeks. Never loads the feed, or anything else, not even the about page. progress indicator hangs at about 10%. Clearing cache doesn't work. Uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work. Moto G Stylus. Android 11.
m.facebook.com does work on same device in firefox. Wifi or Google Fi, VPN turned off.
I do sometimes have pages (though I can't remember any examples), unrelated to Facebook, that don't load/stall when they should, so some suspicion should be directed towards whatever system services, or internal code, you are using to download pages. Hanging consistently at a small percentage resbles path MTU discovery problems with a black hole router in the network somewhere that discards ICMP would fragment messages. Giving user ability to set TCP MSS to a smaller value, such as 535, may help.

I disagree, my Frost is working without all of these issues.

Facebook behaviour highly varies between users, and it isn't necessarily because of this app. So it's likely a valid report, but it may also fix itself. My work for Frost is focused on a new implementation (see readme/pinned issue), so I'm unlikely to provide updates for the current one until I get somewhere.

I get the same issue. Anything we can do to troubleshoot/fix the issue through our Facebook account ?

Thanks for this suggestion @syphyr ! Sadly, it did not work for me :(

Thanks for the reply @AllanWang. Like @terroirman mentioned, is there any settings in our FB accounts that you suggest to look into or try changing to test and troubleshoot? For me, I don't believe when this first started happening where I changed any settings, etc. so it's interesting to know how it varies between users! I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck sadly.
As always thanks for your work on this! The app has been incredibly useful and handy, particularly for messaging :)

Confirmed on my device... The bug appeared approximately on the same period (I noticed it last WE).

Hi! The same issue, OnePlus 7, 12/256, Android 11.
Thank you for your app!
from frost-for-facebook.
fwiw, I'm noticing this too now for messages:
Seems like a facebook problem though, since it also happens on my desktop, and this build has nothing custom. Going from the main screen and hitting the messenger icon works, but refreshing the page when you are already on messages is blank
The other tabs should be working though, and some of them may be Frost issues
from frost-for-facebook.
I can confirm this issue on a fresh installation of frost. Redmi Note 9, MIUI 12.

Unfortunately same issue. Android 11. Huawei p30 lite..
from frost-for-facebook.
I don't have this issue,except for the broken message tab (which has been broken since forever..), running on the latest.version of 3.2.0 on Pixel 7, A13
from frost-for-facebook.
Same issue here. V3.2.0, pixel 4a, A13
Freezes a lot during a few seconds as well
from frost-for-facebook.
Same here, I was on a older version 2.3.0 and I thought it was the issue. Update it, and same behavior. Around 1st week of June.
Tried on S23 Ultra and OnePlus 5 on android 10.
Facebook must have updated something.
I've opened a xda thread, seems like no other alternative, the others are dead, like metal, LC, vanced, etc.
Using lite FB for now, but it's wayyyy to intense with ads, like way too much, 90% of my feed is ads, and I can't maintain groups since I need to scroll way too many ads pages before seeing a new group post

Same issue

The issue with the "messages" tab also occurs on Sony Xperia L3, with an additional error message (translated from Polish):
The inbox of your page is currently unavailable in the Facebook app or in mobile web browsers. You can access your messages though a web browser on a PC, or by downloading the Meta Business Suite app or the Messenger app from the app store.

[x] I have verified that the bug does not occur in my mobile browser (at https://touch.facebook.com/)
Please note that neither touch.facebook.com, m.facebook.com nor mbasic.facebook.com can access messages anymore. Currently only www.facebook.com and www.messenger.com can access Facebook's messages. AFAIK, the latest version of KaiOS, a feature phone OS, suffers from the lack of a tool to access the Messenger since its release in 2021. Meta also removed the Messenger Lite from the Play Store. I used to use it, but in the recent days it stopped working properly.

Same issue for me, just met with a blank screen, re-installing doesn't fix it, I did notice though when fist starting after a fresh install it jumps past a screen prior to logging in before you get a chance to hit ok

Small update to this - for some reason since the issue first started for me back in June 2023, I noticed that all features (news feed, messaging, etc.) suddenly started working again.
I did not change any settings and kept the same version from when I uninstalled and reinstalled a month ago. I am guessing Facebook did something on the back end again which restored functionality.

I came here to suggest changing to touch.facebook.com for the main interface inside frost which was the only web interface working for me. The comment above had me check again today and it does look like facebook may be in progress of fixing things (August 2023). The main feeds seem to work better but there may be some remaining issues. Messages and events are not working and I find I much prefer the frost interfaces to these over the facebook/messenger ones.

I've seen the bug is labelled as "unverified".
What are the step to follow to have this label removed ? It seems we are multiple user to face this bug.
Now, here is the situation on my device :
- the main tab work once in a while ;
- the "Notification" tab works most of the time, but not systematically

You do realize Frost is a Web wrapper for the Facebook mobile site, right? All of this has nothing to do with the app.
from frost-for-facebook.
Frost is a web wrapper, though it uses some logic to hide and show the screen mid transitions, or else the css can't be injected. That is probably one of the reasons for blank pages, though I do see facebook just blanking on its own on my desktop too.
touch.facebook.com is a different site depending on your device. As is m.facebook.com. The one needed requires different html tags so we can distinguish between links, pictures, etc. Loading touch.facebook.com on your desktop may show a variant where everything is divs, and nothing can really be parsed clearly. This is 'new', and did not occur when there was a last update to Frost.
All in all, these variations, plus the solutions I'm interested in having their own issues, is why development is slow. I personally don't even use Facebook anymore, and I only log in occasionally do see if I have new people to add. I'm still interested in fixing things, as this is my 'main' personal dev project, but it's usually limited to a few weeks a year while I'm travelling
I've also debated just removing a bunch of features and making this something like tinfoil, but with notifications. At that point however, I feel like people should just use their browser (or download another one so cookies are separate), as it would mostly do the same thing.
from frost-for-facebook.
When I first log into the app, I see it shows information from my FB account for just a split second...then all of a sudden, it all goes blank, and I get the same issue everyone else is having. Nothing loads at all. So I can tell I am getting some of this information on the first load, but now the nav bar shows it loading at like 15% and just stops.

- So the bug occurs when using frost and mullvad vpn. Often you connect to any vpn server with mullvad, and on the first load you can click to go to the comments or of a post, or go to someone's page, and they will load fine, but after that it will get stuck loading. The only thing that will load is the main wall, messages, notifications window, and settings window. If you disable mullvad, then all works fine, and with mullvad vpn enabled you can browse fb in browser and in the official facebook app it works just fine, but I want to use frost, and I don't like disabling my vpn. I'm on frost 3.2.0 Pixel 7 Pro Graphene Os fully update to date as of today android 13 aosp edit: so the ONLY server on mullvad I can manage to get to work with frost is in California.

My cell is a Samsung Galaxy A03s with Android version 13. Thank you for your assistance! HOT 2
