Hi all,
Is there any facebook widget which loads one single user updates etc.. So each time I click on it it views the chosen facebook user updates? Also notify if there is any new updates
Just use the RSS feed for that contact (builtin FB function, look for that) in any RSS reader.

I really like the 2.1 Facebook integration within the contacts list. It's nice to see someone's last FB update when you view them as an individual contact, but why not their last Twitter update?
Long pressing a contact's picture icon opens up important shortcuts linked to them (Call, SMS, Mail, gTalk, Maps, and FB), but why is there no Twitter shortcut? Obviously there's no default Twitter client on the vanilla N1, but even with 3rd party apps there seems to be a lack of this integration.
Would this be a restriction of the firmware's framework? I believe HTC's Sense UI uses HTC Peep and integrates Twitter a bit better, so why hasn't Google done something similar right out of the box? After all, FB was a no brainer to integrate into their new OS.
Is this something that can be added to WyContacts?
This would require a Twitter client that registers as a Sync Provider. It's entirely possible, but absolutely no one has done it yet because it's specific to Eclair+ right now. Sense-Eclair seems to use a different method from a cursory glance, but that's nothing for sure.
It can be done, but it's not a case of modifying an existing app, it's a case of writing a new twitter client to do exactly this using Google's APIs.
Loving my new HTC Inspire
In "Accounts & Sync", Facebook has 2 profiles set up: Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense.
What is the difference? Should I remove one or the other?
At first, I was linking all of my FB friends and FB for HTC Sense Friends to each other. But I can't imagine this is normal. Or is it?

If you are using Friendstream and like having a contact's facebook info, including pictures show up in your People application then keep the FB for HTC Sense and remove the other one. If you aren't using that stuff remove FB for HTC Sense and use the regular facebook. Neither one will give you notifications. FB notifications for Android have been broken since day one.
Have your fb notify you by the email you have linked to your phone and all is well.. Keep FB for HTC as this gives you higher quality images for contacts, where regular FB gives u crap quality images.

The higher images option was my selling point. Thanks! I disabled FB sync. I notice if I completely remove it, it signs me out of the facebook application.
My favorite feature is seeing people's statuses on the "People" application. If that and high quality pictures are from the FB for HTC Sense sync, that's all I need!
Thanks for your input!
also found useful info googling "facebook for htc sense"

Thanks for this, Perfect!
(Sorry to drag up an old thread)
The only benefit I can think of for the normal Facebook app is that you can go directly to one of your contacts FB pages if its linked to their contact.
For me, Facebook for Sense doesn't show me 3 of my contacts(so weird) so I just use the normal Facebook to link to those 3 contacts.
ok how do I get my FB friends pic to them when I text them as of now it just shows a grey person when I text them
If I remember right I removed FB for sense because it stuck a few hundred contacts on my phone that I didn't want. A lot of my FB friends are just people in which I share news with relating to politics, religion and social issues, not people I want to show up in my contacts list on my phone.
Is this a issue for others as well?
yeah that happend to me and all of my fb friends where in my contacts but it happen when I first set up the FB app you can pick sync all or sync with existing contacts.
but i want the fb profiles to my contacts when I text someone even though I may a different name in contacts vs the Fb profile they have.
The standalone Facebook application will do everything Facebook for HTC Sense does except the friend stream (but Facebook has it's own widgets).
Both will sync contacts and can use the Facebook picture as the contact picture.
To hide all those extra contacts you can choose to only sync contacts already in your phone or go to Contacts -> Display Preferences -> Hide anything you don't want.
To use the Facebook picture go to the contact. Make sure the 2 contacts are linked then click on the Facebook picture and choose set as icon.
Also the standalone app gives me notifications they just seem to be slow.
My phone won't let me have both facebook apps synced.
I am running coredroid. I don't know if the OP foresaw these problems or what. It will only let you select one or the other. However, the first time I opened the regular facebook app, it asked me to import my contacts, which I did. To my horror, facebook replicated of all my htc facebook contacts in the people app, so I had two contact cards for each person. Therefore I removed facebook contacts through the facebook app. There is a setting once you are inside the app to remove them. Even though I only have HTC Facebook contacts now, I have two different facebook icons. Some contacts have big, sort of vertical f's, and some have small, sort of diagonal f's. Not sure what these different icons signify.
THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster
Are there any facebook chat apps that load the history from Facebook? I like to see it when I load up a contact.
One of the only facebook chat apps on WP7 had this feature and I'm surprised I haven't run across any app on Android that has it.
Hi All!
I'm a little tired checking Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare and other apps one by one...Is there an app that can manage multiple social network accounts? I know Hootsuite but I think it's not free...
Any suggestions? Apart from TweetDeck please.
Facebook
+1 one with Facebook
seesmic is a good one
Facebook and MySpace
I meant something that combines social networks in one app...like Tweetdeck.
I don't want to open each and every app separately.
I'll check that Seesmic - looks like it handles Facebook and Twitter. Thanks lowandbehold
