Cannot upload and share on facebook

Vit Maroušek shared this problem 8 years ago
Solved

I used to upload and share recorded tracks on Facebook, but this week after last update It stopped working. (Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini VE (i8200).


When I use the option to share on FB, a screen with Facebook logo appears and say "Login required" (or something like that, i have Czech translation). When I touch button "Login", a black box flashes over the app and disappears. Then it all hangs on screen with message "uploading (nahrávám)" and animated bar below the text.

When i rotate the phone (so the screen changes orientation) it takes me back to the first screen with message "Login required".


I tried it on GSM and Wi-fi, so it's not about internet connection. I suppose the black box contains Facebook login page, but why it disapears so quickly??? Is there any other way to login to Facebook with Locus (like connection settings storage)?

Good day Vít,


same problem happen also to my colleague Michal. I´ll meet him at start of September so I´ll try it and test. For me, it unfortunately works correctly on all testing devices, so I cannot fix it immediately. Sorry for a troubles.

Hello,


i have got the same problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4.


After Selecting "Track teilen" (Sharing the track) there is a Window with the Header Facebook and the only text written is "Login erforderlich"(Login required) and an blue Button with "Login" and an facebook logo on the lower end. By clicking on the "login" button and browser screen for logging in in FB appears. After typing in my email and password a never ending loading screen with a loading bar appears.


Some weeks ago it worked fine for me, but now it does not. I deleted the FB app from my Smartphone, I deleted the authorization for Locus in Facebook. Nothing worked.

Hello guys,


in the end of last week, I had finally in hands device of my colleague. And for our big surprise, official version that cause troubles to him, was now working without any issue. Maybe you have same experience?


I've also updated little bit login code in Locus and right now updated Facebook API library, which take care about login and which was almost half year old. So please check next Locus version (or sooner coming Beta version), if it helps. Thank you and sorry for a troubles.

Hi all,

after installation of last update i tried it again.... and it was thrilling. Again "Login required", again black box that dispapeared, so I put the phone on the table, feeling sad. But the screen changed orientation and a box with FB login page appeared :-)

so IT WORKS AGAIN!

Damn what a crazy solution. In latest 3.12.0 version is updated library from Facebook developers so I really hoped it was any problem in previous library and it will be solved.


Seems not. Biggest problem is, that whole login works on my devices so I'm unable to easily simulate it and fix it.


So for now, I'll not close this problem as it is still not yet perfectly solved. Anyway thanks for feedback!

Hi,


I've been having an issue with this since last week. Every time I try to post to Facebook I get 'Facebook Unauthorised' in an error popup.

Good day Cesare, it has been a while since I updated library provided by Facebook. So I did it now. Please check how it will work in next version. Meanwhile, did you tried to logout and then login directly in Locus?


What about Vit and Stephan? Is this problem already solved for you? To be true, I never had any problem like You, so it is little bit complicated to fix it or at least be sure, it's fixed. Thanks for understanding.

Hi Menion,


truly, it's been quite a long time since i last tried to share sth on FB. I tried it today. At first i was not succesful - Locus wanted to connect to my profile (I had my name and profile picture on the FB share screen) but an orange box appeared with message: "No authentification challenges found" followed by "proces neúspěšný".

Then I tried to log out (thank you for this option) and log in again. After this everything went without any trouble.

Sharing succesful ;)

Hi Menion,


same problem again :( - Galaxy S4 and Huawei P8. The message is "bad request". I tried to logout/login, delete/recreate autorization, but no success. Last time I used it on 11.05.

Hello Tudor,


I'm sorry for this, my mistake! Issue will be solved in next version.


I think, that is "slowly" coming a day (better a week) when I'll invest a lot more time into this "Facebook" feature and do it a lot better. Currently it's not perfectly usable and as you see, every small change cause only troubles.


Once more sorry for unwanted troubles.

Log out - log in (clearing cache, revoking app rights from FB apps) no matter what I do I can't share on facebook. "Facebook Bad request". Device: Motorola Moto G (almost stock Android) and Locusmap Pro.

Hello!


I can't send any tracks to facebook. The login doesn't work. Every time I push the button "login" The device tells me that it cannot load the Email-Adress and I have to activate this option in the settings of my facebook-account.

But in the settings of my facebook-Account Locus is activated. And also in the account-settings of my mobilephone . Any Idea?

Hello, never saw such problem.

Please try to open your facebook settings > apps > Locus Map ... tap on pencil to open Locus Map settings and check settings here.

Thank you for your answer. It's not your fault. The problem is, that there is no Email-Adress in my facebook-account. Facebook has deleted my email-adress. I don't know why?! But this shouldn't be your problem.
