Hey there,
I have decided that I truly despise the native windows mobile facebook app. Is there any other (preferably free) ones that are good? I do think the current iphone one is quite good and easy to use, is there anyway to use that on the HD2? The WinMo one is just a pain in the arse to be honest.
Thanks
xx
I just use the touch site, works well, better than the native app.
the touch site lots of times doesnt work for sending messages it doesnt recognize when i type into the box
Hi all,
I've tried the facebook mobile site, touch site, facebook lite and market place app and they all have bad points. The worst is not all your friends status updates show. I tend to use the full site on my HD2 internet browser. Saves loads of problems. Will probably keep on using it till we get a good facebook app that is similar to the iphone app
can't really agree that the iphone facebook app is all that great though...
privacy issues is one thing, where syncing your contact with the iphone facebook app allows facebook the right to own every contact information in your iphone!
and their syncing system allows strangers on facebook to be synced to your iphone contacts... perhaps they synced it with contact information they got from other iphone users, based on phone no.s and etc, but ignoring country and area codes, which ends up syncing your iphone contact to a stranger in facebook, because they have the same phone no. (excluding country code)... that alone is scary enuf...
at least i'm happy with HD2's manila facebook integration, a little manual, but safer, and the album viewing is just smooth, with auto update of the avatar on the phone...
the app is not that impressive them, i have to admit... but iphone's privacy violation just gives me the jitters...
Guys, I have a X10i updated to Android 2.1, I am very happy with the phone except that i cant use one basic functionality of the phone.
The calender app requires me to sync with gmail & somehow Vodafone Live GPRS does not permit such registrations as its apparently only for basic web browsing. For such registrations, i would have to opt for advanced GPRS in Vodafone titled Vodafone connect whose monthly rental is quite high. Since my GPRS usage is limited, I am not willing to pay that amount just to sync my phone to google!
I am frustrated that i cant access such a basic app like calender... I have searched the entire Android market for a calender app which does not require me to sync to google or gmail.
Can you guys help me with this? I just need a basic calender app!
Same with me also...i want same app....is there any?

More professional
I´m not sure if this is what you`re looking for but try "DejaOffice - Outlook, USB Sync"
Search for "DejaCalendar" on Market
More basic
AnCal
Jorte
Gives you the option to use google, or jorte calendar for the data.. so use Jorte.. and it also has tasks, great widgets, and the basic app is better than the standard one.

Which app do you advise ? The Samsung integrated in the Social Hub or the official one from the market ?
I come from a TP where I really liked HTC's integration of facebook in Sense. Not too invasive and living quite well with my exchange account
Right now my contacts in my outlook (2011) on my PC are linked with their facebook profile, and so are they in Sense. With my Tab I worry a little bit about putting a mess in a system that has found its balance
Any risk to duplicate contacts if I use the Samsubg app ? Or the Android app ? Will they merge properly with my exchnage contacts ? Stay aside ?
I just dont wnat to make the step to find out after I messed up my contact list (More than 1200 people so clenaing that up would take me a few days....)
Hi I use Facebook from the market and also use one called boo

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The built-in one is pretty much for synching only, any actual facebook viewing would need to be done via the browser.
I switched from the built-in SNS client to the official Facebook client and didn't experience any problems.

I haven't installed anything yet Not tryig to fix anything just trying to be sure what I'll do wont create troubles to my contact list
The built-in app is just meant to sync your existing contacts on the phone and match them with facebook friends ? Or it adds all the facebook friends ?
The official app doesnt do this ?
Don't get the account permissions confused if you install the market app. Its annoying to find you gave the stock app permissions that arent on the market app.

Both versions sync contact pictures etc. The official app gives you the option to sync pictures+status updates with all friends, just those with existing contact entries, or none at all.

Anyone ? Maybe I am making too much fuss about this but I dont wnat to mes up my exchange contact list...
Not 100% sure about this, but I don't think it will mess up any of your existing contacts.
When logging in using the official Facebook app, it will create a sort of 'profile' for all existing contacts -- it won't merge info with the actual contact. You'll see this when you edit a contact, there will be 2 (or more) tabs when editing the contact.
It's like a 'Metacontact' in Trillian wherein it's only a merged 'View' of a contact, but in reality the data is in separate 'profiles'. The Facebook tab is uneditable and will only display info.
The only problem I have so far is that when creating a new SMS, it will display -ALL- contact numbers and e-mail address of contacts, even if the number is exactly the same:
i.e. I have a contact named Bob Smith in my Google, Exchange and Facebook accounts, and they are merged as one account. In the Dialer, all the info is merged into one contact when displaying, but when editing, they are editable in 3 separate tabs.
However when I create an SMS and scroll to find Bob Smith, it displays all contact infos of Bob Smith, even duplicate ones, like if I have his number +123456789 on Google and Exchange and Facebook, it displays 3 same numbers when selecting a recipient.
Edit:
Also, when you sign out or remove the Facebook app, it will delete the Facebook 'profile' of the contact on your contacts list, maintaining the state of the previous contact before you logged in / installed Facebook.
Thanks a lot, that's good to know
I already saw the mess it was having google contacts and exchnage contacts (I usually maintain both... for 1200 contacts!) The worst is for contacts for which I entered only the first name... they happen to be all merged together (Well done samsung... They could have defined a merge key a bit larger than just the name........)
What about when you use the Samsung app ?? Someone knows ?
Hello everyone....
I spend a lot of time searching online for a different Dialer/contact manager until I founded Youlu Address Book I think is just amazing... That I wanted to share it.
My Device Description:
HTC Incredible
Senseless rEVOlution 2.0 Rom
ADW Launcher Ex 1.2.2
Description:
A smarter smart phone address book with more powerful contacts, call and messaging capabilities, and an amazing dial pad.
• Searching for contacts has never been easier or faster.
• Search by name, initials, phone number or other information.
• SMS now supported.
Make your smart phone even smarter!

Note: If I'm posting in the wrong section or If it has been posted before My apologies...
I agree. This app is awesome. I don't use the dialer or the messaging replacement, but the contacts list is great and the favorites page saves me from needing a contacts widget.

The updates ruined the app. They forced SMS integration which is a bad idea.
I used to like the app, now it is just plain annoying because its SMS app is not as good as others like Handcents or Chomp.
I like the dialer and the SMS.
Don't like that my contacts have no pictures.
Youlu address book surely is the best contact manager/interface, plus the sms feature is great. only thing wrong with it is the contacts pictures dont properly sync.
using google contacts as contacts, sync'd with facebook profile pictures or manually added in google contacts, displays pictures correctly in default contacts app. but they dont display in youlu. using x10 mini pro, android 2.1
i know its possible as hanscent sms got it right.
hope this gets sorted out sometime...
It doesn't seem to sync with Facebook is the big issue. If it did, I'd be all over it.
i've been trying it for a few days, it works like a charm and looks great. i've not sign up yet. have you tried its own services?
afaik, lacking of contacts pictures is not the dialers' problem. to see more pictures (much more, but not all of them unfortunately) you can use syncmypix, which can be found at the market as a freeware:

have you guys tried Go Contacts, the GoSMS and GoLauncher guys made it and it's AMAZING IMO. I tried youlu when it came out but always returned to Go?
i had tried gocontacts but i can't remember why i drop it. i'll try it again.
btw, an alternative tool to sync contact photos is Google Contact Sync:

This isn't necessary if you're on a Sense rom, but it cures the no-Facebook-picture problem on AOSP roms.
Obviously, the Contacts app is very important but the default contacts app misses two features that my LG Renoir used to have.
First, I could place Contacts into different categories that I create (Friends, business, VIP, etc). I can then search or browse contacts by category.
Second, I could choose to block calls from a selected category and send those calls directly to voicemail.
On my LG Renoir this was very valuable to me. If I am out at night with friends, I could have all my Business Category contacts go directly to voicemail without ringing my G2X.
Can anyone please recommend a Contacts app to me that has these features???
Contapps is one that comes to mind. A more mature, less cutesy app would be Smartr by Xobni which works best if paired with the gmail app you can install through your browser. Both can connect with various social networks and bring in contacts from various places.
Thanks. BTW I absolutely do not want to connect my contacts list to social networking and I don't sync my info with Google. Privacy, etc...
Have tried "Go Contacts?" Works well for me.

Does Go Contacts let me put contacts into categories?
Can I choose to send some contact categories straight to voicemail?
Check out RocketDial, it should do the trick especially if you need call filtering.
