[Q] facebook on froyo opens links at www.facebook instead of m.facebook site

Anyone know how to make it point at m.facebook instead of www .facebook?

no one else sees the when selecting, for example, a notification?

I have the same problem, although I want it to open on touch.facebook.com not m.facebook.com personally. I don't think it is a Froyo issue more of a newest version of the FB problem. I had this problem on my Incredible with 2.1

It looks like it was on Facebook's side, it is now redirecting properly & I havent started tweaking things for it yet.

Seems I spoke too soon, its intermittently showing www over the m site

Better Facebook app?

Hi guys,just wondering whether anyone can help to create a better Facebook app?The official Facebook app is great but just some issues with it.I can't seem to view photos that doesn't come with a album and sometimes,the Birthday of some people aren't shown.Lastly,maybe a function to be able to view your mutual friends with a certain someone would be great! This Facebook 'part' I unfortunately feel that the iPhone Facebook app is actually better...So please,any app developer for a better Facebook app???

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything

Great!Can you upload the .apk please?

Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help

I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!

That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release

Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...

You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.

The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.

I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

Thanks for the reviews

Cool. Can you add prices too?
I downloaded Dolca HD and I noticed a few more quirks.
- No menu... no setting, nada! Which basically means no option to hide offline friends, or to group contacts etc.
- Hitting enter without typing anything will give you a blank line.

It may be that I am just a noob to Android but it would be a nice touch to add a link to the site where you can get these applications. For most of them a simple name search works well but "Notes" is way to common to make sure I am picking the one you meant considering the author/developer is not mentioned either.
Thanks for making this information available I look forward to checking in next week.

Thanks for your suggestions guys. I actually include links to each app....on my blog tho. Perhaps its an incentive to just check out my site ;-) I will do my best to include prices but for now, all these are FREE!!!

I've been looking for some sort of honeycomb IM program... unfortunately dolca appears to not even have a settings menu! Ill be keeping an eye on it though thanks for this post!

And yes.. your site looks really nice! Bookmarked it.. I definitely want to have a good place to stay updated on good honeycomb apps given the fact that the Android market sucks and doesn't let you search for true honeycomb apps

Thank you! I agree the market sucks. Its hard finding apps but I'm digging deep!

Next release I will remove ads, make it opensource and add menu with some basic options. The discussions like this is hard to find usually, if you need features or have suggestions feel free to write to my e-mail specified on the market app's page.

Hi guys. It's another week and so I have another handful of apps to share with you. You can check out my previous "apps of the week" here.

Let me know what you guys think of the games and of course, if you have an app recommendation then let me know. Enjoy!

Facebook app for tablets

Just saw this great new app over on the xoom forums. It's made by the same guy that did Tweetcomb (the first twitter app for tablets which also rocks). Seems really great so far, and is free on the market so check it out, it's called Friend Me.
Original post with more info here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125505

Thanks, i'll try that it looks good.

Yeah I just got it, runs pretty smooth so far and pretty nice feature set, chat implementation would be nice but hopefully it will come in an update

Nice, looks good. Thanks for the heads up.

I just installed it on my TF101, got a FC about 45 seconds into it. I think I had tapped on photo albums. Nice looking app, though.

Finally!!!

Great app, finally a good facebook app!!! Thanks

I still think that it needs the ability to upload pictures and videos. Check- In, Notification Bar and all that, but apart from that, I think it's a great deal!

It's a 1.0 release, I'm sure all of that is coming to the works. But yeah, totally agreed. Off to a great start, I'm looking forward to the updates.

Needs to be able to view groups also but very good

Let's keep the comments and suggestions to the original thread in Xoom forum guys. That way Chris doesn't have to go back and forth (if he even checks this one).

Nope, early WIP.

Does it support multiple logins? Seems not to. This is the biggest problem with Facebook and most other non-Google apps on the market - they all assume you are on a single-user device, a phone. A tablet is very often NOT a single user device. Me and my wife share it. There has to be some easy way to toggle between facebook accounts.
All the Google-written stuff has the ability to toggle between different accounts easily... even the market itself lets you do that.

Some problem with the app, completely froze my tab on first launch. Had to reset the device. Methinks its a problem with pictures. Anyone else faced this?

No what he is saying is a tablet is a multi person device meaning more than one person uses it so there for you need to be able to toggle accounts,I have the same issue with tablets as my kids use it but I don't want them on Facebook and I want to be able to control content they view by having different user settings for different log ons Luke you can on Windows

On another note, is does the transformer itself support multiple logins? I'm running into the same problem, when my other half is using the tablet and gets my email notification popups because it's linked to my google account.

Instapaper

I recently started using instapaper and I love it. I think there is a great need for instapaper official android app! It has an iphone official app. There are a few unofficial instapaper apps but I don't think they are comprehensive.
I used to email links to myself...I Sony do that anymore due to instapaper.
Im interested in hearing how many of you use instapaper and if you would like an official app for it.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App

As much as I like Instapaper, I love readitlater more and it has an official app on most platforms. Works in very much the same way.

Yea. +1 on Readitlater... it and Beautiful Widgets and XDA are the only apps I've paid for.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Thanks guys for recommending Readitlater. Just downloaded it and this is actually what I wanted. Im still trying to figure out a couple of features. How do you download an article for offline use on your cell?
Its a great app and I love it. However, I think it should have the option of creating 'new folders' to organize your bookmarks/articles. Hope this would be included in the updates.
Overall great app.

Install the applet from readitlater.com on your browser's toolbar and just click on it to save the page to your queue.

I have done that ..but doesnt answer my questions which is:

Sorry. Lol. I completely misread your question the first time. Once you open your reading list, long press on the article you want, and select download.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App

Is anybody aware of an android instapaper client that uses volume key scrolling?

use 'read it later' ...much better than instapaper.

+1 to the instapaper/readitlater client request.
not one instapaper / readitlater client has the following 3 (essential) features
-volume key scrolling
-full screen
-full sync
There is definitely a gap for a quality client here, especially if somebody integrates functionality from ebook readers (#WHY-HASNT-THIS-BEEN-DONE), such as
-touch to scroll
-glide to change font (see moon reader)
-glide to change brightness (see moon reader)
-text format options
-fixed orientation
-remember location in each article
I have to say that i am very surprised no one has made a top quality client, and no reason that it couldn't sync to either readitlater or instapaper
Dev's - on your marks, set - GO!!!!
ps the best solution i have come up with is to export my instapaper reading list to epub and read in moon reader

any news on this?
is there any ereader-app that can automatically import my unread items/reading list, so i can read them properly on my ebook-reader (rooted nook touch)... can't find a satisfying solution
