It's strange that you can't uninstall the Facebook app. It's a 3rd party app i.e. It doesn't come pre-installed on the phone, so it should be easy to uninstall. What method did you use?
Settings/Application Manager on your phone, or from within Google Play Store using the uninstall option on the app?
I use a free app named 'Easy Uninstaller' by Infolife. It saves a lot of time clicking to fing the built Application Manager.

Yeah, FB is a pain in the ar$e. Try this...
Connect to Google Play Store and press the left soft button on your phone and select 'My Apps'. Under 'Installed' or (scroll right) 'All', find Facebook and select it. On the page that opens you will see the option 'Allow automatic updating', which is probably ticked. UNTICK it and return to Home. Turn your phone off and then back on. Hopefully you won't be bothered with updates any more.

Compared to Xperia Ray, which is better? I like this phone but the camera resolution just doesn't get to me.

AnonD-75643, 07 Mar 2013how to get back JB 4.1.1 in S3 MINI
@ pnplama
1) Make sure that you have the Samsung USB drivers on your PC. If you have Kies on it then you have. If not I can direct you to the link.
2) Download the 4.1.1 firmware:
https://hotfile.com/dl/185032960/5a8f619/I8190XXALL2_I8190OXXALL1_BTU.zip.html
Then unzip to a folder of your choice.
3)Download Odin 3 v3.04:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703998
4)Switch OFF your phone. Now go to Download Mode. Press and hold the Volume Down + Home buttons together, and then press the Power button until you see the construction Android robot and a triangle. Press Vol up to continue.
5)Make sure that Kies is NOT open. Open ODIN on your computer. Make sure that 'Auto reboot' and 'F Reset time' are ticked but NO others. Connect your phone to your computer while your phone is in Download Mode.
6)If your phone is connected successfully, one of the ID:COM boxes will turn yellow with the COM port number and the box below will show 'Added!'.
7)On Odin, click on the PDA button and select the file you unzipped (the one that ends with .tar.MD5)
8)Click START and Odin will flash your phone (takes about 5 minutes).
When it has finished the phone will reboot and you will have 4.1.1 on your phone.
You do not have to do the following, but I do. If you do, you will clean the phone back to Factory condition but your apps, data, contacts etc. will have been wiped, but if your phone is backed up to Google it is not a problem.
9) Remove the battery, reinsert, and start by holding Vol Up + Home, and then Power. Your phone will go into Recovery Mode. Using the Vol Up/Down button, select 'Wipe cache partition' and press Power button. Then do the same with 'Wipe data/Factory reset'.
10) Lastly, select Reboot phone.

Ooops! With the Living wallpaper ON, the Screen was using 46%, not 45%, as I stated. But it shows that the screen is drawing more power from the battery with it on.

I checked the stats on my battery. Without Living wallpaper on, the figures were Screen 45%, Device Idle 21%, Cell Standby 18%, Android OS 13%, and Android Sys 3%
With Living wallpaper on, the figures were Screen 45%, Device Idle 21%, Cell Standby 18%, Android OS 13%, and Android Sys 3%
Using those figures, the Living wallpaper is drawing an extra 1% from the battery by being ON. Not a lot, but over 24 hrs that can add up.
Besides, what is the point of Living wallpaper? You only see it for a second or two when you unlock your screen to use the phone.

-mustang-, 07 Mar 2013using odin does it mean you rooted ur phone?@ mustang
No, you don't need to root your phone to use Odin. Odin is just a PC software program that can be used to install a different ROM on your phone.
I've used Odin ever since I had my Galaxy S (i9000); and I've flashed my S3 about 6 times now with different ROM's without any problems, and now my S3 Mini twice.
It's a bit daunting the first time you use it because you keep thinking "What if?", but it's a personal choice whether you go for it or not.
