Android Facebook post does not work when the Facebook app is already installed on the device

Question

I have an app that posts a string to user's wall. The app worked ok in the emulator but I could not make it work in a real device. At first I thought I have a problem with the hash key. But then I tried it on a device that does not have Fb installed on it and it worked. When I installed Fb on the device it did not post and uninstalling it again it works fine. I assume that the Facebook app is blocking my app from using the SDK? The approach I use is more or less following this -> http://blog.doityourselfandroid.com/2011/02/28/30-minute-guide-integrating-facebook-android-application/ but I get the same with other approaches.

I see that there is a problem reading this -> Post to user facebook wall not working when Facebook app is installed on device/emulator but what should I do to solve it? I do not want my users to have to uninstall Fb of course! Has anyone come to the same situation and managed to solve it?

Small Changes in the code (facebook package)
