I like the facebook app for android, it's finally getting close to the functionality of the iPhone app. I have one annoying problem though, I want links to facebook I get in gmail to open in the Andoid facebook App. Does anyone know how to make this happen? Is there maybe a helper app in the market that fixes this?

No idea how to fix your problem, but try "Flow" its a facebook app thats has push notifications, etc much better than the official facebook app.

Let meknow if you can't find the app, its no longer under development but I choose to believe its the best app that I ever come across for Facebook

Bloo was awesome. Flow seems to be what Bloo could have been. I just wish there was a an intelligent connection between email and the Facebook Android App.
Facebook app for Android sucks compared to the iPhone version. One of the few things I miss about the iPhone.

So I am a pretty big facebook buy, i dealt with the crappy official Facebook app but now im REALLY sick of it. The Facebook Touch app is slightly better but the developers that made this app really need to wake up, even look at the iPhones facebook app. Why make the app come with the phone and get people to use it but make it a crappy app. Like almost everything redirecting to the web. Maybe even the people that made the XDA app can make a facebook app that relates to the iPhones. Im sure developers on this site could do a hell of alot better. I would even pay for it.
What do you guys think?
I would be willing to pay $10 for an Android Facebook app that matched the functionality of the iPhone Facebook app.
+1million.
I have no clue who the facebook developer team for the official app is but someone should find out and send them an email lol
Trouble is Facebook themselves made the iPhone app, hence why it is so good. I find Bloo is the best we have so far and with chat coming in the next version and a widget soon, it's already better than the 'official' android offering
Wait so the Official facebook app (the one that came on the phone) isn't made by facebook themselves?
however, i like the offical facebook app more, but it shows a photo in mobile facebook instead of showing in it's own apps ... v. sad
Yeah thats what i mean, and on the touch facebook site it doesnm't show picture comments for some reason too. This crap needs to be fixed lol
theres a million apps in the market that claim to be the best, and obviously theres the one most devs include in their ROM (the official one, right?) but the widget only displays the latest status update. im curious if there is an app that will display more than just one, similar too friendstream?
tia!
The one app that I've found to be a pretty decent replacement to Friendstream is the Vodafone Update app, you can connect to FB, Twitter, & Myspace, do your updates, view messages and all that, only draw back is there's no widget, which would abolutely rock if it did have one, but that's my 2 cents as far as apps go
im looking to connect multiple social networks, im looking for a widget that displays more than one update at a time
thanks tho
m.getjar.com search for facebook ..download the app that logs you into the facebook mobile site..........better than the ones in the market IMO..

does that have a widget? thats what im most interested in.
Why am i NOT getting a notification in my bar when someone sends for something or replies on my facebook?
Because the Android app doesn't push. Download Bloo and it will push (most) notifications to yo.
that is rediculous! there is even a setting in the android app for notifications. The facebook app on this is a joke compared to iphones thats fa sho
The Facebook app is not that polish. On android 2.1 there is no push notification as noted. I believe 2.2 has this option. Once Facebook updates the app for 2.2 it should include that feature.

the facebook app is pretty lame... the pictures load way too slow
I agree, even verizon or motorola said something on their twitter page about it was the best just to use the browser..lol..
That n the trapster app are my main apps that I use and both work better at the iphone...makes me just want to buy an iphone 2g

its just weird cuz under the facebook settings you can turn notifications on. Why would there be a setting if it didnt work? Anyone who has used the iphone facebook knows this one is lightyears behind........and i didnt even mention the fact that there is NO chat option on this..
I know this doesn't help...
I was pretty sure I had facebook notifications turned off and today I got a notification. wierd.
i downloaded bloo, but as others have said on the app comments, it doesnt work.
My biggest beef with that"app" is the lack of phonebook tab. But there's. About a dozen things I could rant on it... no push updates, no syncing, etc.

[Q] Facebook Widget issues
the facebook widget force closes at every attempt to use. I am running the initial build (not update 1 or 2). Is anyone else having this issue? Btw, the app works just fine.
Will not work on mine either
Yeah doesn't work on mine either
This is a stupid bug in facebook code where they pass a null intent and Honeycomb won't allow this. Same issue as Google Voice. Can be fixed, but not really worth it. Facebook widget sucks, and the app is updated often
I can't seem to be able to access Facebook through the stock browser or through the Facebook app. Is this a problem for anyone else or is it just me?
I think it is a Honeycomb and Facebook issue. I have the same issue on the Acer. Use another browser in Desktop mode and you should be fine.

Kinda works for me. I sometimes get redirected to the Mobile site where it just doesn't load the page and pretty much breaks it. Facebook chat lags, commenting photos lag and facebook games lag.
Use Flow for facebook, I installed it last night and works like a charm
I'm using the standard Facebook app and I have no issues at all.

And default browser in 'tablet' view mode. Working fine. Widget for the home screen in the app doesnt work though.
I haven't had any issues with the regular FB app but I use Friendcaster instead. Doesn't have all the features but it is optimized for HC.
Here is maybe a more generic FB question:
I am technically logged on as my real name, but I use my photography bus. as my main account. If this makes sense? I go Account - Use Facebook page as - then my photography bus.
It seems like on every app or on this tab I can't "switch" to use my photog bus. Any idea on what to do here?

For me FB on the browser or on the app is pretty bad. Any app that does better?

Have you tried Friendcaster? It is basically just your news feed but looks better since it is made for tablets.
My Facebook app force closes whenever I try to view "Friends." I thought the latest update was supposed to fix this, and indeed it has on Gingerbread, but it's still happening on Honeycomb.
im using FriendCaster THD at the moment. Works great but the widget is a bit puny.
One of my favorite features was being able to sync my contacts from Facebook to my phone in Jellybean so that all of my contacts used their Facebook photo for my contacts on my phone.
Either I am not seeing how to do that in Android 4.4 or that feature was removed.
My Facebook account is synced to my phone and when I go to it under accounts in my settings, it doesn't have anything in there.
Can someone point out how to do this?
That was never part of Jellybean! You must come from an device with UI like touchwiz or sense..

Wow. Yeah, i had an HTC One X+. Sad face.
I guess I had just assumed that was how all android phones were. Dang.
So does anyone know any way to do this then? Maybe a 3rd party app or something?

Download the app Sync.Me. I've been using it for a while now and it seems to do a pretty good job at syncing Facebook contact pictures. Can also do LinkedIn, if you have one.
Ubersync works well and you can choose the quality
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
As I don't know the name but only that it exists, you can google for it as good as i could.
So check it out yourself. There are some apps who can do what you want ! (ofc not as good as it is implemented in sense)
Download Haxsync - best app there is for syncing contact timeline information and photos
I'm gonna give Sync.ME a try. Thanks everyone!
