How does places work with facebook for android? when my iphone friends post something it give options to select people and says something like 'steve smith was at your moms house with steve smith.'. does this not work on android?
Yeah works fine. Go to the touch or mobile sites on your browser and press places...
doesnt seem to work for me with 2.1 and opera mini. only shows me one friends place
anybody? ...
is there a app just for Places only? so i can check in with out going thru fb
Foursquare
+1 for Foursquare...AND you get badges :3
They just updated the facebook app to use places, and groups.
places doesn't work on my Nexus One 2.2.1, CM 6.1 RC1. when I hit "I'm here", it begins to load but nothing happen.
any ideas?

I deactivated my Facebook account because I didn't have time to use it and the microsoft facebook on my phone wasn't the best (why leave information up on a site that you don't have time to check/change?).
If HTC develops a Facebook app or a tab for the HD2 in the awesome way they do things, I probably will start facebook again.
I agree. I'm not hating or anything, but facebook has a much broader use than Twitter and it would be nice to be able to communicate people who actually matters to you rather than following some celeb or industry giant (be it Paris Hilton or Peter Chou).

if you check the topaz and rhodium threads you'll find htc have a facebook app just not like the twitter tab. its integrated into your contacts if you have a search you'll find out more. also if you go to x.faceboom.com you can access it via opera and it looks like the iphone version
I dont have either phone (TD2 or Pro2)... TF3D allows you just to check status of that particular contact... am I right so far??? also it will not allow you to comment etc.. on that status.
But what most of us will like is some something similar to the twitter tab, a complete status update of all your friends (most recent) and allows you to comment etc.. without the need to open an app or a browser... wishfull thinking maybe
HTC shouldn't be doing anything now except getting the WM6.5 rom for the Diamond 2 released.
yep. like i said though. best bet so far is the mobile site atm. the x.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook version.
ps it seems microsoft have updated the facebook app on marketplace. I check the version numbers of both and the new one is 1.1 but they both look the same to me

I just tried it in mini opera 4.2, and it's not recognizing the address. Is the domain still live?

I just was on it but I was using Opera Mobile.. give that a go
Consider fring. It has a facebook add-in (although I don't use it so can't recommend). I do like fring for voip and integrating social networking functions in one place, though. Try it, you might like it.
are there any good facebook apps for 2.1? i have a rooted n1 running the latest cyanogenmod and all of the facebook apps ive used suck. babbler has no notifications. bloo has the same problem plus more and the official android app is even as advanced as babbler or bloo. any suggestions

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!

+1 for bloo, seems to be the best. I also have Facebook photo sync so it will download photos to my contacts for caller ID which bloo doesn't do.

stop spreading rumors.
works fine. always will. unless country blocks it.
as for tagging photos, again use Facebook Touch from marketplace, then at the bottom click full page and just do it that way.

Dang..ya beat me to it. Was just in the process of posting
FLASH WORKS! FLASH WORKS! FLASH WORKS!
HAHA haven't been this excited since the 'ol WinMo days.
Don't expect the speed of Opera, that hasn't changed w/ this Android port....but for functionality, can't beat it.
Beta?
Only one I see says beta after it. Is that it?

FC. will try uninstall-reinstall....
You can also download it from Android Market.
Can't wait to try this, loved it on my WinMo phone.

I tried to post this reply on my phone but skyfire keeps force closing when I pointed to text boxes...
Installed and uninstalled. Slower and more cluttered than the stock browser.
Maybe the full release will be better.
Pass. Plus Flash already works on my phone.
This browser seems better than stock, but not as fast as Dolphin overall. Better Flash support sounds good to me though.
This browser is the closest I have come to being able to play my Slingbox on Android... The Slingbox website thinks I am on Mac OSX.
Despite not being rejected at the directory page(like every other android browser), it doesn't show my Slingbox.
i got the daily show to play from it's website so I'm happy, hulu = fail and so does abc.com shows

Off Topic, but along these lines.
The Facebook touch website says "Download facebook for your Ruth" instead of "Download facebook for your Hero"
WTF is that about???? LOL
out of all the browsers,
great for speed-opera
great versatility-dolphin
ease of use-stock
sky fire is okay but its not better than any of these in their respective categories
on a side note has anyone tried fennec(firefox mobile) i cant get it started
What I'm stoked and waiting anxiously for is Opera Mobile. Loved it on my Vogue and dont see why I wouldnt on my Hero.

That's probably due to the fact that all your data is being sent through a Skyfire proxy. Yup. You're revealing your browsing habits and data to Skyfire.
Yeah, the way skyfire works is that everything is rendered on their server and then sent to your phone. So, websites that detect hardware or location will end up detecting skyfire's hardware and location instead of yours. It also means that a copy of your facebook page is now cached on skyfire's server!

SkyFire server admins will enjoy my nude shots on my FB Page.
Edit:
It does it on all browsers so far...its weird.

I have done it, but only on the browser site, not in or sorry excuse for a facebook app. When you are on the touch facebook site there is a little map marker icon beside your status update box. Clicking that or the places tab gives you the option to check-in and tag people.
im on the touch site now via opera mini...i am not given a map icon next to my status update text field. when i click on the places tab from the home screen, i only see a few friends check ins and still cant check in or tag people.
is it opera? the stock browser sucks

Its the icon to the right of where you update your status. That whole bring up GPS and allow you to "check in" from the touch site even using the stock browser.

I was on the stock browser, haven't tried with opera.
The app is supposed to update with that feature as well per their announcement today.

Yup. New version, 1.4.0, has places built in.
From the Facebook for android page
Hi folks, an updated Facebook for Android app (1.4.0) is now available for download. New features include:
- Groups: share posts with small groups of friends
- Places: share where you are with friends, see where friends are, discover places nearby
- Improved notifications: view comments and updates within the app
I thought it was going to be crappy update again because I got a force close 2 or 3 times when I first installed it, but after I rebooted it worked fine and seems to be a much better update than the last one.
I would ask in the Thread of ROM but im new to here and so i can only post here.
I have little Issue with Facebook App
Login and notifications works, but i open the App and see Connection Lost - tap to retry.
Wlan or 3G its equal. All other apps thats uses Internetconnection works perfect.
I have upgrade the radio to 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.04 one day earlier.
Or is it a facebook related problem??
big thx
greets jr!

Facebook app is by far the buggiest and slowest app i ever ran on my android phone, seriously it's almost unusable, tried it with 3 phones on 3 different networks, slow as hell and it doesn't know what "caching" means, even.
You're better off with "Fast for facebook" or "FriendCaster"
You can try clearing the app's data if you want, might work!
Thx for answer.
i have tried your tips but nothing helps.
Only friendcaster works. Faster for Facebook make a fc on login.
greets jr
i use friendcaster to view facebook pages and facebookmessenger to view msg. only thing is i cant put it to offline in the messenger.
