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.
[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.
Hey guys, I tried searching but couldn't find anything at all on this. Are there any tablet optimized facebook chat apps, or instant messaging apps in general? GTalk is awesome on the tablet and I'm surprised other apps haven's followed suit by now.
I use the old facebook app before they removed tablet support which has chat.
You can try trillian for android
i saw trillian and ebuddy both work, but i'm really looking for something that takes advantage of the screen real estate and has split screen for online list and conversation
Palringo works well.
i just use the browser and the full facebook site. works pretty well
I'm using imo.im. The UI isn't very polished and it's not tablet-optimized but it supports all the IM Clients I need (including Facebook, Skype, GTalk and ICQ).
I'm updated to 3.2 . Idont have my twitter or Facebook app now. I take it that they are not compatible, yes?

I cheked many apps out for facebook & twitte, these 2 seems to be best featured & unbuggies ones.
P.S enjoy
You can also side load the Facebook app too btw
I'm using it right now but be warned it fc's when you try to look at a friends profile directly...

Friend Me for Facebook.. i think its awesome it basically looks like the gmail layout but for facebook
I've found friend caster to be better than friend me. Friend me doesn't seem to update as well, also friend caster allows sync of contacts
Or get google + and make life 10x easier

Has anyone gotten facebook working?
The app can be sideloaded... some have reported it working - for me it crashes about half the time tho.

Isn't it already included ?

The "Facebook App" that is included with the device is really just an icon that loads the mobile website into the Silk browser. It's not the real Facebook app and you can't download the App from the Marketplace or the Google Market.
If you sideload the App, it appears to work when you first open it, but then later it will ALWAYS force close when you go to your News Feed. The only way to get it to load again is to clear the Cache and Storage area. So, the real Facebook App is actually useless on this device right now and you should just stick with the Facebook URL hyperlink icon that comes with the device.
I see, thanks for the explanation.
Anyway, on a 7" pad it should be comfortable to use the Facebook website, so what's the point in having a Facebook app ?

The mobile website IS pretty good now, but there are some things missing from it. For example, Facebook chat. You could just use the Messenger app, but still, it's nice to have everything in one place.
That is just one example, though.
i kinda prefer the Messenger app over Facebook app's own chat. so, Messenger works on the rooted Kindle Fire?
facebook app alternative
I don't know if any of you have tried out friendcaster but it's a great replacement for facebook. I use it on my viewsonic gtablet and it does everything the facebook app does and more.
