Facebook app is lame

Just out of curiosity how many captivate owners agree with me?
What could we do to make it better? Any ideas or thoughts?
Sent from my captivate so excuse the spelling mistakes

Actually its been improved and I don't mind it much anymore. My only problem was when it would take me to the full site for everything but now it stays in the app.
It's only missing chat.

Needs video uploading and photo tagging.

notifications!!! "why didnt you get my facebook posting i sent from my blackberry?"
me: "sigh....because my facebook app sucks..."

x2 definitely needs notifications

Yes it does suck compared to the iphone version. Need to add ability to view other peoples friends
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

To get around the notification, I've got facebook website to notify me via txt messaging since I have the family unlimited texting plan. So when I get the notification, I then open facebook app to see what's going on as the txt notification truncates a lot of info to limit to 100 characters.

I think the widget needs some serious help... Perhaps something closer to the 'Feeds & updates' style widgets that shows multiple updates at once and lets you scroll through them.

Chat would be great. Well not for me work. LOL
I would like to be able to tag and have games like mafia wars also work with FB.

All of these ideas are really good. I wonder why Facebook is not showing android any love, i also wonder how we get them to start making changes. I don't know programming or coding or anything so i don't know exactly how hard it would be for them to simply put what the iphone version has and apply it to what we have. And maybe throw in a nice widget too.

If we could only get push notification just like in the iPhone it would totally rule!

The most awesomest pic viewer evAHR! !

Guys just want to share: today " gallery" decided to take a crap. Its on some kind of bootloop I guessed you'd call it. If you have this experience and can help cool, but that's not why I made this thread. I found the best friggin pic viewer and wanted to share! Its called " quickpic" dl from market and check it! Pics load super quick and slidshow is way smooth! Really happy with it. Give it a try and tell gallery to f- off!

Yea its ok been out for awhile, I know alot of people were using it on fauxs. Rom cuz the gallery was messed up, or u couldn't see internal SD so this app lets u see every pic

settle down please. your excitement over a picture viewing app scares me.

its a realy nice app, i loaded about 10,000 images on my sd the stock gallery would die trying to load it, while this app loaded up fine and smooth

Does it run a service in the background constantly, and does it draw on the cpu much? Ads?
edit: I decided to find out for myself... no service in the background, no noticeable cpu draw, and no ads...very fast sorting of all photos, smooth interface. Shortcuts to camera, and share-to's work well. Allows hidden folders...very nice find...thanks.

Awesome app. I'm gonna use it.

Favorite/best dialer

OK, I've tried all the big ones, go contacts ex, dialer one, and TouchPal Dialer. Each one seems to have a unique feature or coolness to it, mostly go contacts or TouchPal, but they seem to be lacking or be incomplete... For example when using go and trying to edit a contact... You can't join multiple contacts together... If i was going to use a third party dialer I would want to freeze at the least the stock... With a third party sms app, i use handcent, i don't lose any functionality save for maybe the green dot.. But who uses that? Haha, so what in curious is, is out of all the dialers what is everyone's personal recommendations?

I'm still looking too.
My dialer has to be efficient to work with a large contact list (good search). I don't need integration with anything else than Google Contacts (no Facebook, etc). But I'l like some management tools, like 'call back tomorrow' with alarm, integration with a todo list, etc.

Well it seems that either some apps lack any editing or joining capabilities... Others seem to lack integration with certain things... Its small things but things that I as a whole always use... Its the one up the HTC sense launcher/dialer had compared to stock android... Sigh

What is the best feature of ICS do you like the most?

I heard that closing apps from multi-tasking is the best feature asides from being eye-candy. What do you guys like the most with the new Android-OS?

Hard to say. When I mention that I installed an ICS build on my phone, a few of my friends asked about face-unlock...but meh. It's buggy and gimmicky and crap, IMO a bit overrated and over-publicized.
I do love the task management with a long press on the home button. Brilliant! Awesome. But it's also hard to overlook the facelift that the settings menus received. That too is very pretty. Then there's the app drawer. I do also love the fact that I see widgets there, now. Also classy. Swiping notifications is cool, too.
Hard to nail down exactly which feature I like best, but these may be listed in an order relatively close to order of importance to me.

From what I heard, some devices that has front camera does not even have face unlock. IE Xoom. Where did you find the settings for the face unlock? Perhaps, that's why we can't figure it out. LOL

They seemed to apple it up and add a lot of gimmicks rather than worthwhile features this time. If I had to pick, it'd be the hardware accelerated browser. Now they just need to fully hardware accelerate the UI.

Hardware acceleration has been around since 2.1, it just hasn't been, and likely won't be present in the UI.

I beg to differ. It's way more highly optimised on ICS.
For example, the Market for my Note on ICS is silky smooth compared to this laggy garbage on 2.3

The market is not the UI. The only android phone with a hw accelerated UI at present is the gs2.

Not really. Note too, but just not as silky smooth.

THE theme is great

True, depends on what build you're on, and it is still not available on some devices.
It should be under settings, where you set a pin, passcode, or an unlock gesture.
If it's there, it's easy setup.

Optmization!

I'm loving the default SMS app, and the settings button in the notification bar.
And the fact that hardware acceleration is default.

[APP][4.0+] Shuff

Shuff is a simple music player app that will take the local music on your phone and shuffle them up in a playlist. This app has a clean minimalistic interface. Let me know what I can do to make things even better.
This app was just released today.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lithidsw.shuff

Didnt like it.
Sorry to be so rude, but shuffle can do every music player there.
Maybe im wrong but I dont think anybody will like it.
Good Luck.

Don't take the first reply too seriously, this player has potential. I really love the design. It'd be awesome if you could actually make a music player because I can't find any good ones.

Like it. Nice and simple. Needs a way to close it and would like a dark theme.

Not to be rude, but you sound like a troll. Of course other players have shuffle if they didn't that would be silly. The point of this application is using a different method to do the same thing without the bloated features from other players. I simply wanted an app that I could open, hit a button and listen to all my music. I am sorry you don't understand the simplicity. I plan on make a ton of updates. Would you mind explaining your issues a little further? Maybe I can create something you might actually enjoy?

I am not fully following. This is an actual music player. Just not in a traditional sense. When things would you like to see? I have no issues adding in great functionality. Please let me know.

Thanks a lot. When you say "a way to close it" do you mean from the notification? My application watches for a dismiss from recents. So if you open your recents and swipe the app away it will cleanly close the app and stop playing music. Themes is coming to the app as well.
Dark and Light variants.
