Thanks for .apk file. Bloo looks much better than the stock facebook app!

I guess this gives me a chance to try Bloo but I'm glad its not the ROM I'm using

[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.

Facebook sync in gingerbread.

Anyone get it to work on EB1.03? I know it works on CM7 but it's still waaaay too buggy for me right now to use as a daily.

Doesn't work on the leaked rom either. Doesn't even give the option in the facebook app to sync contacts.

If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.

I've tried to export all my facebook contacts to SD card and import them from gmail contacts on my computer.. but still no luck

Anyone have any ideas?

Google removed the ability in Gingerbread, use something like SyncMyPix if all you need is contact photos. If you need more than that I'm clueless.

Facebook contacts auto download?

Hey guys and gals, on my old htc hd2 it the facebook app would match up my contacts with online frinds and update the contact images with their facebook photos. Anyone know how to do the same kinda thing with the xoom? It was a really nifty feature.

If you just want pictures use syncmypix from market... Friendcaster for tab does contacts I'm pretty sure

It asks for your phone number, so it might be SMS too, not looked that far yet

I'll look into it!
EDIT: Sadly, g+ only. I was hoping it was SMS too ):

Another Mirror https://www.file1.info/nstyXcW there is no other way for some tablet user (Nexus 7/10 or GTab2) to get the app, but it works on this Tablets.

As of right now it basically replaces Google talk and google+ messaging. Rumer has it that it is eventually supposed to also replace google voice and other messenging things like SMS.

Yeah, it is very beautiful. As of now, it is basically like a really cool ui update of Google Talk.
---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:37 PM ----------
And updated Google+ is now live too

No contact status? No contact list that reorders based on contact status?
I rolled it back to Talk for now. I can't really stand having a huge list of everyone to whom I've ever written a Gmail. Am I missing something here?

Thanks
Thanks for telling us!
I have no ideia of this "update"

I can't see the big differences from the old app.
Can you send photos and videos or files with it like whatsapp? I haven't found a way to do it.
Furthermore I can't add a photo to my chat profile without having to add it to Google +.
And my contacts that I have pictures of in my contact book are shown without pictures in the chat since they haven't got a picture on Google+.
So far I am a little bit disappointed with these issues and whatsapp will unfortunately still be a more preferable way for me to send messages for a while longer.

"NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!" - From Google

I got it working when it released yesterday. I was having the same problem with it opening to Gtalk.
All I did was used TiBu to wipe data and uninstall Gtalk. I then went to the play store and installed it.
