i just want to start off by saying that "Bloo" is one of the best app for facebook out there. the developer had decide to either let bloo die or make it open source.
please respect hes work and show support if you want "bloo" to survive.
visit hes website "fbandroid.wordpress.com" or on the market. and let him know how you feel.
By the way he has release a "Preview" of the new Bloo 1.5 With Facebook Chat. (REMEMBER IS NOT THE OFFICIAL RELEASE) everything seems to be working fine for me. but there should be some bugs.
****The only way to download this app is either by downloading "ASTRO" on the market. and download it straight from your SD Card****
**BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE NEW VERSION, PLEASE UN-INSTALL WHATEVER BLOO VERSION FROM YOUR PHONE FIRST**
thanx, been waiting forever for this!
Edit: Loving it already!
I like it but I hope there is a way to hide the notification icon for Chat in the 'official' release
support the dev though....
the developer of this app has realease a big statement on hes blog.
about either letting bloo die for good and leave it as it is ,
SO SHOW SUPPORT AND LET HIM KNOW THAT U ENJOY USING HES APP SO THE UPDATES CONTINUE. AND BLOO WONT DIE OR ELSE THERE WONT BE ANY GOOD APP FOR FACEBOOK. the official facebook app SUCKZZZZ, "bloo" is the best facebook app out there hands down for android, it gives the experience that IPHONE DOES.

Absolutely, I have posted on his blog before to tell him how good Bloo is. I really hope he does keep it going. Like you say, the official app is pretty poor.

I have to, every time he announces a new release. I also paid for Bloo about a yr ago and have used it ever since.
I wouldn't mind him goin open source and see what other devs can do with Bloo.
Tried downloading this app directly to my phone and the download type isn't supported

Common issue with apk's. Typically means that the server is presenting the web client with an incompatible MIME type and Android is really picky about those.
Install Astro file manager and enable "Enable browser download" in its preferences and it will likely work. What's happening is that Astro tells the system that it can handle virtually any MIME type so the system will let you download it.
Not as clean and fast as the official app, but a good effort nonetheless. I can't figure out how to "like" something, any ideas?
Not for me so far, but I'll never say competition isn't good!
i love the bubble style chat on blow wish i can use the exact same one for sms and no i don't mean like handcent i like exactly how cartoonish bloo is.
Ok so I am confused about the chat feature... is it just enabling it in our browsers or is there something I am missing?

When you start up Bloo, you'll see it in your notification bar just go to it and it should start up the FB chat .. tested it out and BEAUTIFUL!!
BTW, aalopez10, where did you find this? I've been looking for it and couldn't find it lol
Thanks loving the update and deff will support Bloo
Sick thanks! It was only doing the chat enable/disable thing in the notification bar before but its working now.
xidominicanoix,
one of the developers have release a public beta but its not the official yet so you wont find it anywhere in the market or anywhere at the moment.
one of the developer have said that he would make a facebook fan club called "SAVE BLOO" and it will have the PREVIEW APK that i provide for people to try it out.
hes not sure if he wants to continue working on this app due to the time it takes him as he only does it on the side besides hes real job. so he wants to make hes final decision either to leave bloo die or keep working on it.
support hes blog. and join the fan club on facebook so we can keep bloo alive and received more features for bloo and facebook chat and show to the "OFFICIAL FACEBOOK APP" that they suckkkk on updating there official app.
Anyone having issues with Bloo 1.5 and Froyo? It seems like my chat doesnt go through sometimes or i have to log into chat twice... just seeing how everyone else was doing with this app...
remember that anyone who downloaded froyo manually, based on google is was a "Froyo Built test" It was not the final froyo 2.2. so that means theres some bugs. and the apps is nothing to do with the development of froyo because is not the final realease. when google realease the final froyo 2.2 and apps are updated to work for 2.2 everything should work flawless.
****all APPS have to be updated to work for FROYO so BLOO has nothing to do with it at the moment till its updated. but for now hold on and wait because "froyo" is still new OS and developers have to update there apps to work for "froyo 2.2".*** but for now enjoy
Anyone seeing issues with the chat not saving your permissions? Other than that, excellent app, loving it. Thx for throwing out the beta. Looking forward to a final release.
Great app...loving it!

Sorry if this has been brought up before, search didn't come up with anything though. I just saw on a few news sites some posts on the Skyfire browser (http://www.skyfire.com/) going into beta. Almost sounds too good to be true, basically a greatly improved Opera Mini. I'm not a huge fan of giving unknown companies my phone number to sign up for a browser I've never heard of, so I was just wondering...has anyone heard anything about this?
Skyfire
I've heard about it but as I understand it's in a beta test that's only available in the States so I've not been able to try it out.
Yeah only available in the US. I have signed up for the beta but you can't download it yet. looks pretty cool.
Can someone plz upload it here once it's available for download.
that browser jus blew safari, opera mini, picsel and IE or anyother mobile browser away..its freakin sweet cant wait till i get it..lolz..and its FREE
herez the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mWUoxiLZFc
OMG Finally
Out of all the App's that I have, that will be the MOST used. I have always been envious of the Safari browser in the iPhone. Now they will be envious of all of us 100% I can't wait to get my approval. Thanks for the post.
Kevin
Wow, that's pretty cool. Opera has been draggin their heels so long with Mobile 9.0, looks like they might get their thunder stolen again like they did with desktops.

Why is SKYFIRE still taking new sign up’s? If they can’t handle the volume they should take down the invite . I signed up on the first day and still don’t have it.
ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

I'm with you buddy. The native app sucks, no video uploads, wonky scrolling, no notifications. Bloo sucks too, it doesn't post comments when they've been posted, can't see who "likes" statuses, Babbler's even worse. Pisses me off that FB just wants a good iPhone app and forgets that some folks do not want the bloody fruit phone.
the best is actually... touch.facebook.com
i used to use fBook but it no longer keeps me logged in, so i went through a bunch *bloo, babbler ect.. but found "Facebook Touch" from the market is what i wanted and works.
i usually open it and go to the bottom and click "mobile" then i get an easy to use facebook that gives me notifications on the top.
Touch seems pretty good. Thanks for that. Are there no apps that allow you to tag photos? I'm mean really? LOL!

update:10/19/10
TO PEOPLE HAVING PROBLEMS GETTING THE 6 DIGITS...PLEASE FOLLOW THIS INSTRUCTION:
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
(MAKE SURE YOUR IN THE MOBILE VERSION NOT THE TOUCH. FACE PAGE)
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I've been waiting AGES for this. Didn't realize he released a demo of it. Thanks a lot!
Err. Which ASTRO u mean? I download Astro but I am not seeing it 0.o.
Can u explain a bit how to download it? Coz I didn't find the link at the website too or in my SD card . Thanx b4

Just wanted to say thanks.
ive been using this app for about a month now. and its great. the FB chat feature is cool but it needs to show when people are away. as far as regular fb i still dont see notifications all the time and sometimes when i get a notification it doesnt pop up. other then that great app. anyone know if someones going to make this app better since its open source
I downloaded this app on today, and I absolutely love it!!! I had version 1.4.4 and it didn't do quite what it was suppose to. I must say, I'm a happy camper with 1.5! Thanks for sharing.
Dumb question... maybe. How the heck do you open the Facebook chat?! I can't find it!
Bloo 1.5 mainscreen. Menu / Preferences / check box enable chat.
It should start up when you start the app. Mine stays on until I reboot.
Hope that helps.

to make the app work you need the permissions from facebook (its not the app)
if its not working directly from your phone.
visit this pages to give access and permission for bloo and chat to work

i have recently reinstall and install the bloo 1.5 app just to make sure that if it was working or not. and it works normal as it suppost to...not sure exactly what your doing wrong.
when you first open the application " it will ask you insert digits" and just click "get code", (make sure your sign on, on your facebook page through the web browser) , and it will direct you to a "generator page" and just click on the button and your set.
and there was no problem for me, it was as easy.
I am no authority on what the developers of this app are up to but what I gather from reading their blog is that 1.5 has been sent out to select beta testers, who those beta testers are and how to become one I do not know. 1.5 seems to be the last build that will be released (if ever lol) It sounds like they are concentrating on bloo too (or how ever the spelling of the new open source versions is) They are completely rewriting most of the code from the ground up. I am not sure how feature rich bloo too will be since they are making it open source and it sounds like once the code is released they will be leaving it up to the community to develop what ever people want.
That is just my take on the status of bloo.
In an unrelated note, does anyone know how Facebook contact syncing works. I have a few contacts that I can not get to sync with Facbook :-( One of the contacts I have her full name (first, middle, and last) in my addressbook but on facebook she only uses her first and last and then another contact the last names are the same in the addressbook and facebook but the first name is different (uses nickname for her first name on facebook)
Can anything be done to sync these contacts or contacts like these without having to change their names in my addressbook?

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.
ahh right so there would be better battery life too??
Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.
AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.
hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version
I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138
I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.
can we have a link to the apps apk?
Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.
http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google
really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.
Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!
it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily
updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.
