ok so ever since i got my hero i never used any sort of facebook app. normally when i wanna check my facebook i turn on my mobile network and i go to facebook.com using the internet. People using Iphones facebook is like on 24/7 for them. they get facebook notifications to their phones and such. is there a facebook app for the hero that that does and such, and would i need to keep my mobile network on 24/ in order to get the notifications?

Facebook Notifications seem to be the weak point of our App. I have a thread a few down from yours about how mine just don't work. I get on occasion a notification if someone writes on my wal directly. But thats it.
WiFi/EVDO shouldn't make any difference, all it cares about ( I would think) is a data connection of some type to reach it's servers.
But like I said notifications on our app are horrid. Bloo isn't the greatest for it either.
That's your phone telling you that you can wait 5 minutes to find out that your friend just took a crap for the second time today.

So I am a pretty big facebook buy, i dealt with the crappy official Facebook app but now im REALLY sick of it. The Facebook Touch app is slightly better but the developers that made this app really need to wake up, even look at the iPhones facebook app. Why make the app come with the phone and get people to use it but make it a crappy app. Like almost everything redirecting to the web. Maybe even the people that made the XDA app can make a facebook app that relates to the iPhones. Im sure developers on this site could do a hell of alot better. I would even pay for it.
What do you guys think?
I would be willing to pay $10 for an Android Facebook app that matched the functionality of the iPhone Facebook app.
+1million.
I have no clue who the facebook developer team for the official app is but someone should find out and send them an email lol
Trouble is Facebook themselves made the iPhone app, hence why it is so good. I find Bloo is the best we have so far and with chat coming in the next version and a widget soon, it's already better than the 'official' android offering
Wait so the Official facebook app (the one that came on the phone) isn't made by facebook themselves?
however, i like the offical facebook app more, but it shows a photo in mobile facebook instead of showing in it's own apps ... v. sad
Yeah thats what i mean, and on the touch facebook site it doesnm't show picture comments for some reason too. This crap needs to be fixed lol
Why am i NOT getting a notification in my bar when someone sends for something or replies on my facebook?
Because the Android app doesn't push. Download Bloo and it will push (most) notifications to yo.
that is rediculous! there is even a setting in the android app for notifications. The facebook app on this is a joke compared to iphones thats fa sho
The Facebook app is not that polish. On android 2.1 there is no push notification as noted. I believe 2.2 has this option. Once Facebook updates the app for 2.2 it should include that feature.

the facebook app is pretty lame... the pictures load way too slow
I agree, even verizon or motorola said something on their twitter page about it was the best just to use the browser..lol..
That n the trapster app are my main apps that I use and both work better at the iphone...makes me just want to buy an iphone 2g

its just weird cuz under the facebook settings you can turn notifications on. Why would there be a setting if it didnt work? Anyone who has used the iphone facebook knows this one is lightyears behind........and i didnt even mention the fact that there is NO chat option on this..
I know this doesn't help...
I was pretty sure I had facebook notifications turned off and today I got a notification. wierd.
i downloaded bloo, but as others have said on the app comments, it doesnt work.
My biggest beef with that"app" is the lack of phonebook tab. But there's. About a dozen things I could rant on it... no push updates, no syncing, etc.

This sucks... there are STILL NO notifications for comments, likes, wall posts etc... are you KIDDING ME????
i like chat feat. but still no notifictionas
guys what do you mean no notifications? mine does have notifications.

I'm not getting instant notifications either. Chat will come up, but nothing in the realm of push notifications. tested sending from from my wifes account to mine.
chat works great, push notifications doesn't work. still have to check app just for the notifications :/
Great for letting us know
Okay, a question about chat since I've never had it before through Facebook. How is your online status "toggled" while using chat?
So if I open up the facebook app, and look at my news feed, am I now online? And to go offline, do I physically have to go into facebook chat and click "go offline"?
Also, if I want to be on chat, but have it run in the background, how can I confirm that it's running?
The entire user interface seems very poor. Wouldn't the ability to toggle chat on/off and easily access conversations and your status from the notification bar be essential in this type of app?
notifications works fine for me... kinda odd though since the messages and other stuffs still uses interval... only the posts and such has push.

According to the Facebook page of Facebook for android, push notifications is only supported with android 2.2+

Yeah, I see that. But there's no "Go online" option, is there? So how do you ever know if your online or offline? I don't know, I'm used to Go!Chat. There should be some clear toggle option.
How about for people that never want to appear online?
For example, I just opened up facebook on my phone and hit chat. I guess I'm now online? So now I hit android home. Am I still online? How is there anyway of knowing? Online until when?
It's completely non-functional as a useful mobile chat app.
[edit]
I've also tried multiple times to close "active conversations", and they keep showing back up on all refreshes. I was looking forward to native facebook chat, but I'll stick with 3rd party apps until they can improve this.
Chat and Push both are working flawlessly on my Droid 2. Rooted but running a pretty much stock OS.
About time they got this one out. Was doing this with a blackberry almost 2 years ago. I am now able to remove about 4 apps that I was running in order to cover my FB account while mobile.
Nice work Devs!
Push notification working good on my evo. I was also using f plus and had it set for five minutes and I'm getting notification quicker with the official app
I download it from market but installation failed. Did I do anything wrong or it is caused by android build on HTC HD2?
Long conversations
And still it is not possible to have long conversations. Quite annoying

When i go to Android market and try to upgrade. after downloading the Installing is not successful. Please let me know how to upgrade.
push
so.. let me understand,
is push for notification, or just chat?
I've only just got the ChaCha so am unable to get a good impression of battery life yet, but does anyone know if the built in Facebook Chat widget/app uses the C2DM framework (like the official app, Beejive, IM+ and others) or does it simply constantly poll the network and drain battery?
The app seems really good and it would be a shame if I had to remember to log out all the time to avoid sucking the battery dry. I'm used to leaving Beejive running all the time as it has VERY little hit on battery.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Cheers.
You have to remember to log off all the time :/
It started to pissing me off not because of the battery drain but because wherever I am I seem like a facebook addict meaning that im constanly logged in FB chat
I'm thinking to uninstall the widget since facebook app has chat if i ever want to chat with FB friend (which is something i dont do often).
But yeah end of the line it seems to have push notifications and when you are on the pc and log in FB chat its turned on the cell phone too.
Want an option like to never go online automatically but only manual because its a nice widget from time to time.
as the question says which is the best one in the market?
i have seen a lot of them like whatsapp, liveprofile, textplus, kik messenger, and google talk
which one do you think is the best, as blackberrys have their own messenger we android user could use the one only application for all android users
because almost all of my friends use blackberys even knowing blackberry phones sucks but they use them just because of the "free sms"
and when i try to convince them to use android they just say no, and i cannot text to them for free because they also get lazy to download any other application
I know some of you are in the same situation as i am

Google+ Huddle is pretty neat and seems to be an answer to BBM by introducing a 'group chat' instant messenger for anyone who associates their Gmail with the social media website.
In the future, I think Google+ Huddle is going to try to take place of BBM-type communication on Android, but since not everyone is on G+, it'll take awhile to develop.
In the meantime, I use trillian for instant messaging - though I don't use it as an "always accepting IMs in the background application." Google Talk is the easiest program to accomplish this for novice users.
Whatsapp
Whatsapp works pretty well I use that and it works across all platforms
every one ive had drains battery like crazy...
well ive used liveprofile and is good but sometimes msgs doesnt arrive at time, kik messenger is the fastest i have used, and google talk is the one with comes by dfault and could be used as "like bbm" but atleast in mexico like 1 of 10 have Gmail account :/
Google Talk?

because is consumes a lot of battery...
my point is this.... for example if BB people uses BBM as their Free texting mode
we can use Google Talk as Our Free Texting Mode as it is running background always (well i dont know but i cannot logged out from google talk)
but not every person knew or know that, and i think it is almost the same thing, but with just giving your gmal acc instead of the PIN thing
