Help me crew. I just upgraded from an iPhone to the bionic and I am having a Facebook issue. Face book will not open in 3G. It says no connection. Should it be that way or is there a setting issue. In my house sometimes the phone is in 3G and sometimes 4g. I am not happy that this will not connect in 3G. Help me out!!!

I would start here ...

Do both 3G and 4G operate from your location?

What does "In my house sometimes the phone is in 3G and sometimes 4g"mean? Is it displaying 3G sometimes and 4G LTE sometimes without you setting it manually?

That is correct. In my house sometimes it runs LTE and sometimes it is switched to 3G without me changing anything. Our region has 4g but the phone doesn't always pick it up. Thanks.
 
the facebook for android app is slow. use Dolphin HD browser instead, log into facebook from there, and set up a homescreen shortcut icon for FB. FB will pop up within 4 to 5 seconds, from your homescreen, instead of waiting forever when u use the FB application.

I don't use Facebook.

From what I have seen from others your suggestion removes the "Social Location in the background eats the battery" problem.

In this case he says "Face book will not open in 3G. It says no connection.". This sounds like a prob em in his location where he is being handed off 3G to 4G or 4G to 3G.

If it is a GPS-related message then the solution you suggest would probably correct his problem ... right?

When he gets that message if he just waits are you saying it will eventually connect?
