[game] words with friends

Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!

Hopefully they'll work out the kinks soon!

I don't see it in the market (searching the web version anyway)
Do you have a link?

Where is it, Could you supply a market link please?

Yeah it needs some work I think. I set up a new task under tasker to lower the media volume to 1 when I'm in the game and then restore it back to 4 when I exit.
To find it search under words with friends zynga

Notifications do work though.

Here this the market link for anyone that needs it
Words With Friends
Opps wrong link! Sorry! Should be the right one know!

I'm sure there will be updates soon. If someone wants to get a game going just add me. Diplomat2387

Mine has sound and notifications... Try turning up your volume while in the main menu.

I get notification bar updates pretty consistently. On CM7 nightlies on my G2.

anyone else having an issue where it isn't seeing all of your contacts? it is bringing them all up except like 4-5, and of course those are the people I want to play against.

I HATE the full screen pop up ads.
I hope they release a pay version soon.
Also...I'm getting a lot of fc's and it lags and delays when its changing turns.
Yes...buggy like crazy. I expected much more from Zynga. Especially since they have great work on the i-devices.

I'm guessing that it only does your e-mail contacts, because the same thing happened to me and it seemed to coincide with people that I've e-mailed instead of people that I have on my phone.

Agreed - need a non-buggy. Ad-free paid version pronto. I still can't believe there are no options for sound.

That's what I thought at first too but it sees some facebook only friends as well as some contacts that only have a phone number...pretty strange. The ones it doesn't see are actually some of my must frequent contacts too

Facebook Woes

Probably the only complaint I have about my new phone is the lack of a 100% working Facebook experience.
The Facebook app seems to periodically just stop updating/issuing notifications for periods at a time.
TweetDeck works for awhile but then suddenly loses my settings.
Seemic doesn't automatically update/issue notifications at all plus I don't like the fact that the updates from multiple services aren't integrated in one stream like Tweetdeck does.
Not sure what other options I have at this point.

Mine seems to work fine

One of the things that worked super well for me on my old phone was "fim" but sadly, I dont think that its available for android, just winmo. Hopefully the devs decide to port it

If you go Settings->Account and Sync, is background data/auto-sync turned on?
also down where it says "Manage Accounts" make sure it's turned on also.

Yea dude mine us working fine. Check your settings?

yup and yup.
I actually have two facebook items listed here.. the first seems to be for that social updates its called Facebook SocialUpdates when I go in to its details. I have that turned off. When its turned on it generates session expired errors and when I gave it my login it won't accept the password (I've verified the pw is correct).
The other just says Facebook in its details and that is on.
edit: maybe there's another app its conflicting with... frustrating.

Are you running stock? If you're rooted, what I would try is making a back up of your apps using Titanium Backup and then uninstalling all your social networking apps that could be conflicting with it and then reinstall only facebook from the market and see if that helps. Again, that's just what I would try. Good luck

I'm running stock, but I think I'll take your advice anyway and uninstall all the social network apps... can't hurt.

I would have to agree with you, DarienA, of all three OS's, facebook for android is the worst. I mostly speak about the options available in this app version. I am a little biased as my previous phone had FB 2.0 and it was very nice, plus the push notifications were almost instant. Just my two cents on facebook for android.

I would have to disagree. The fb app for iPhone is awful.

Besides the App needing the ability to delete comments, seeing all who like something and built in video uploads, I've not had issues with it.

How do you remove comments?

It'd be nice to be able to tag photos. I don't think you can do that with the iphone FB app either though.

Yeah you can. The app just never functioned for me properly on my iPhone. Never got my notifications, comments wouldn't load...I'm having much better experiences with the android app.

Well upon further investigation, you can only remove posts or comments that originated from the app...at least that's what I've seen so far.

It does. Facebook doesn't make the app for 3.x so this is the version for Android 2.x.x.

it works like a charm, thanks mate
//TFT Prime 1.6

Thanks for this OP. I was disappointed that I couldn't get fb to work anymore without using the browser.
I installed it without uninstalling my existing fb app first and it didn't work. It FC every time I opened it.
After uninstalling and reinstalling again, it now works like a charm.
Gave "Thanks"

Thanks for this

Does anyone know if this means it will add sync for facebook contacts? Kinda missing that on my TF.
EDIT: Welp, I might as well should of just installed it to answer my own question. I did. It synced my contacts. Now I can post pictures to facebook.
This definitely is better for chat than the browser but I don't think it will notify correctly?
Anyway, thanks for posting the APK!

Me too. If I click Friends its going to FC. anyone else having the same issue?

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.

I am not liking the update at all....

They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Facebook Photos Flickering

Hi looking for any suggestions on what to do to fix the facebook app on an LG Viper (I know, not a common phone for these forums, its for my girlfriend). The app opens half the time to a blank white screen. When it does work, it's fine at first but as soon as you start scrolling, photos flicker and the app stops loading pictures. Phone is not rooted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, cleared the cache, not sure what else to try. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

I suggest you search the web for diffrent versions of the app. (1.0/2...)

Yeah, as silly and as unhelpful as it may sound, just get a third party facebook app. The official one is a pile of crap, no matter what your device.

If you don't like the facebook app, why won't you try Tweetdeck it's a very good app with the abillity to add a Twitter account too.
It's fast and I use it most of the time. Although I still have the official facebook app on my phone too, but since i have a Samsung Galaxy it's running
smooth.
For those other devices (like my Tab) I use Tweetdeck.
Hope this is usefull for you!
