Has anyone else noticed that Facebook doesn't work on 4G? Neither the app NOR the website work with 4G. They both work fine with 3G and WiFi. Strange.

No, I have the HTC Thunderbolt. I think the new Facebook update is causing this issue. All my 4g apps are fine except Facebook.

I have a thunderbolt and have been having the same problem. It will work on 3g and Wifi, but not 4G LTE. Everything else works on 4G except facebook.

Seems that mine is working fine now as well. I didnt do anything to fix it, had to be a bug on facebook that the developers fixed.

I consistently am unable to get into FB - whether it's through Wi-Fi, 4g, the app, or direct thru their website. I am always met with the screen saying "Connection Lost - Tap to Retry". This is SO frustrating! I've cleared my cache, restarted phone, uninstalled/installed the app, and logged in/out. What gives!?

Hey marrelam!
Facebook is pretty important in this day and age, so let's get you connected to those you care about! If the same issue is happening when you are on wi-fi and our network, it's either an app issue or a phone issue. Since it seems to be happening on many different devices (as notated in this forum) I would lean towards an application issue. Have you tried to just uninstall the updates for the app and not the full app itself? Do things work if you go through Facebook on the browser? Any problems with other apps? Please try these and retest!
Thanks!

No other app issues - it works fine when going thru the browser. I have no idea how to uninstall updates since my phone is only 2wks. old and I just downloaded the FB app when I got the phone.

Thanks for that information marrelam. Let's get your Facebook working!
If you go to Settings, select Apps, select Facebook app, select Clear Data and then Clear Cache. Go back to your Home screen. Open your Web Browser, select Menu, select Settings, select Privacy & Security, select Clear Cache, Clear History, Clear All Cookie Data, Clear Form Data. One you do this, remove battery & SIM card for 30 seconds, restart phone. Try to login to Facebook application, and use as normal. You will also need to login to other sites you may have saved via the Browser, but you should no longer get this error. We encourage you to do this regularly, (like once a week). Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Well I tried this like I have already numerous other times and as always
the Facebook app shows the loading icon for about 1 min or longer and then
just give the Trouble loading tap to retry screen. And of course it will
not load until I force my phone out of 4G LTE mode to 3G.

Also as usual, Mobile Facebook won't even load via the Internet browser
while in 4G LTE mode either.

Okay think I figured it out, you have to clear the data in both the
facebook app and the facebook for htc app, and clear out the browser
things, then it works.

It is still not working & is also preventing me from accessing the web sometimes, let alone getting on FB. And, really - you want that entire step to be done weekly? Not acceptable!
