HTC should make FaceBook App

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.

Trillian Beta Released for Android...

Trillia have released thier multi-protocol IM client for Android. Runs in 1.6 too...Not available in the market, can be downloaded from here
The app will work with AIM, Facebook Chat, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Jabber, WLM, and MySpaceIM, and because it natively supports Android 1.6, it will work with the original Android handset G1. People with phones running more recent versions will receive better resolution graphics, according to the company. Current Trillian users will be able to automatically load their accounts on the phone using Trillian's Astra syncing service.
Some of the app's more esoteric features include "buzzing" your friends as a way to demand attention from them and sharing photos via IM. The app also offers a smooth transition to landscape mode, and in hands-on tests worked just as well with a slide-out keyboard as it did with the soft keyboard.

bbm on Android

Android friends, I heard about bbm on android and didn’t believe it works, so I tried to make a research to figure out this issue till i found.
Well here is the bbm for android:
Yes it looks like a bbm layout and yes it works by adding others pin but u cant chat to persons that own a bb and bbm them, this application works as a bbm but ONLY BETWEEN ANDROID USERS. You can 100% fake your friends.
So if any one of you need this application I can send them the apk, just install and add friends.
note: pin bbm here is called NIC.
so download and enjoy. 9ACAD861DE you can add me.

That's nice

Instead u can use the watsapp so that u can chat to all other people (independent of os.)

Whatsapp is the best, but this is fun where we can fake people and say nothing can stop android.

did you already try "Viber", its like BBM and you dont need a pin.. you'll just need your same number..

No way to get it to work with bbm then?
i refuse to buy a crap blackberry just to chat to a load of people who refuse to text me and refuse to use kik messenger
btw.. dont like whatsapp, as you HAVE to know the persons phone number so no meeting new people without giving out you mobile to them who can be anyone

Hello.. Instead, Use wechat or weixin.. it has much more functions, is multiplatform and now they just integrated VOIP. you can chat to people arround the world and is more secure than whatsapp, bbm

oh come'n. Android need BBM?
i dont think so. if u need BBM, pleas just go to store and buy BB device.
Android is android, not BB.

BBM on android, why??

Whatsapp is also on blackberry, as well as WP 7 and iOS. It's the perfect messenger. BBM is useless unless its blackberry to blackberry and even then they can just use whatsapp

It doesn't connect with the RIM BBM. LAWL
I agree that ANDROID IS ANDROID and having BBM on it is totally unnecessary. Use a cross platform messaging app instead if you want to connect to BB users.

I think WhatsApp is available for this... but I will try this too

yahoo messenger video chat

hello guys . i was tired of searching for a way to make the video ad onn in yahoo work on my ns since 2.3.6 ,., never worked... just the voice call does . now it got back to me.. i just tried it after updating with jb ..
anyone knows a fix ?
i cand even get the button in the menus...
thank you. id apreciate some feedback weather yours work or not... if your using yahoo .

No one using it ? I would like to have the video plugin working propperly....
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Bump please... Anyone know a method to make it work ?
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

Please lock this down... Its pointless...and mostly helpless... Nobody seems to use the yahoo video plugin.
And nobody is replying .
It has never worked on nexus s . on gb,ics , ever.
This thread seems like my notepad )).. So please close it or reply somewhat .

666 views and no answer... Def the most unfortunate thread i've started.
I wish i could delete or lock it because i see no one does.
it is not of any help.

I believe the Nexus devices are not compatible with the Yahoo Messenger Plugin. Unfortunately, it's a sad result of poor management of the apps available on Google Play Store.
The reality is, Google doesn't care about the quality of the apps and probably never will, therefore developers can do whatever they like with their apps (In this case Yahoo).
It's sad that you need to get rid of a good device, like Nexus 7, just because you want to be able to use Yahoo Messenger, which is what I ended up doing.
Oh and by the way, the Ipads/Iphones are the only mobile devices where Yahoo Messenger Plugin actually works and works well.
I've had various different Android devices over the last couple of years (Toshiba Thrive 7", Hyundai A7HD, Nexus 7, Motorola RAZR) and they all suffer from issues with Yahoo Messenger Plugin.
Bottom line, you need Yahoo Messenger, get rid of Android!

I would thank you many times for replying ..but I can only pres it once .

Alternative facebook clients

Anyone recommend good alternative facebook apps. Currently i have been using spatio and friendcaster but both hve not bin updated in ages. I have tried fast for facebook. So i neef other alterniatves

First of all, this is the wrong place to ask this. Look for a general android apps discussion thread.
Second why do you dislike the official FB app? Or use your mobile browser.
