Is there an app to update both facebook and google+ accounts at the same time?

This will allow streams into g+. Not sure about g+->fb

I would've hoped that Tweetdeck would add G+ support. But now that Twitter owns it, I guess we can forget about that.
The G+ API hasn't been released yet, so we won't be seeing any 3rd party apps with G+ support until it is released.

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the facebook tab for a contact to bring up the facebook app instead of launching the mobile facebook website?
For clarification: bring up a facebook linked contact in sense and click to view their profile, a comment, or an update. m.facebook launches in the browser for me. I would much prefer the facebook app instead.
Thanks!
This points out yet another reason to freaking uninstall that facebook app. It doesn't DO much does it?
I like the app and this seems like HTC's fault or maybe Google's. You know how when you have multiple apps duplicating functionality you get to choose which app handles each request and/or set default. Maybe Google needs to add an action for facebook?
Also the notifications that the facebook app fires off link to the mobile website instead of opening the app? What the?

No, this fault lies 99.996% on the Facebook app developers.
It's a sorry excuse for an official Facebook application in every right, especially when a 3rd party dev bests it with a limited SDK (See Babbler for Android).
Anybody know a good app for the facebook chat? Or just use the one through the Facebook App
facebook actually made a messanger app!
I haven't tried the Facebook chat app, but it could be great. I usually use either eBuddy or Imo Messenger, since they also support aim, Yahoo, etc.
Edit: I've never tried this, but doesn't the regular Facebook app do chat as well?
yeah the regulaur app has chat!
Is there any way to fix it without using third party apps?
Another one with the same problem. Even a third party app would be fine for me... Any suggestion?

Its not broken. The Official Facebook application doesn't support Android 4.0 just yet so you will not be able to sync your contacts to your device. The only method is to use third party applications. I use Friendcaster Pro and it works really well.
Unfortunately, Till Facebook adds compatibility to the official application... you will not see your contacts sync to your device
Nope, the issue is between Google and Facebook, so we won't see contact sync fixed until Google and Facebook make an agreement or until a custom ROM fixes is. I forget the whole story, but I think Facebook doesn't use Android's contact API so when you sync Facebook contacts with your phone they all stay with Facebook and aren't stored locally on the phone. If you uninstall Facebook all your Facebook contacts go to. Google doesn't like that FB doesn't let you control and keep your FB data on your phone so they revoked Facebooks access to the API.

You sorta proved my point. More or less its not compatibility with Android 4.0 but its the Nexus S. Once again Facebook will have to upgrade the application in order to make it compatible with the Nexus S. Only difference between what I said is instead of Android 4.0 its for the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus
Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data.

Facebook never updated the app on Gingerbread. Facebook sync was included in custom ROMS because developers enabled it. Nothing to do with official support from Facebook. Until Google and Facebook sort this out, vanilla Android won't support contact sync, unless Facebook starts using the regular contact API
Friendcaster is not allowing me to login (whitepage)... Is it really compatible with ICS?

If you are OK with 3rd party apps, take a look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20477937#post20477937
Hey guys, I recently came up with an idea for a new app I will call "Socialize" and I wanted some feedback on it. I am currently working on it and will have a preview of my progress up within a few weeks. It won't have that many features, as my first priority is Twitter support, and the first preview will probably only have the ability to login and post a tweet.
What is Socialize?
Socialize is a new way to manage all your social 'stuff' from one place. Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+ will be the first supported networks. Chat support will probably be added in later.
Isn't there already and app that does the same thing/has the same name?
No. I spent about an hour a week ago searching for such an app and didn't find one. There is also no app with the name "Socialize."
So yeah guys, leave your thoughts below, if you have any recommendations, leave a reply! No stealing my idea either, I have a copyright.

I thought google+ was only supported through the offical app. And how did you copyright the idea of a social media all-in-one app?
sounds cool! i'd use it if the design follows the ics design standard
dont really like the official facebook app

I'm gonna add G+ support once the api gets released. Thats the only thing I need.

Well of course
I like the idea, but it isn't the first. Socialscope does the same thing for Instagarm, Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare. Hootsuite does it for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Foursquare.

I'll have to see if I can think of any features that are unique then.
How can I sync my twitter friends profile pictures to my contacts? I was able to do this on my HTC One but no longer on this.
Give contacts+ a try. In play store. Works for all social media

That's cause HTC links Twitter/Facebook to Sense. Stock android has no such feature built on so 3rd party apps are required
