One of the great features of HTC Sense on Android 2.1 is the Friend Stream app if you want to simultaneously update both your Twitter and Facebook status. However, every time I try to open Friend Stream the app forces close. Is anyone else having thisproblem or do you know of a way to fix it. It happens even after a reboot and task kill, so I don't know what the deal is. Help would be awesome.

Twitter's official app made Friend Stream fc on my DI. After I uninstalled it, FS worked fine.
I use to have Twitter's official all installed but uninstalled it already. I'm using Touiteur (which won't attach pics BTW), and Friend Stream use to work but then just quit all of the sudden.

Touiteur updated today and the changelog made it sound like they addressed the picture attachment issue.
Still having issues every time I attempt to open Friend Stream. Is there someone I can contact about the software issue? Honestly, its not worth getting a new phone but I hope it's something that can be fixed. It's pretty frustrating.

I'm having the same problem. It must not be getting along with something else I've loaded onto the phone.
Do you have any idea what app might be causing this? Maybe we have the same app loaded.

I had this same issue, I did a factory reset and all is good. In fact, it's even working better than it was before.
How do you do a factory reset? And if you do that, does it erase all of your apps you've installed and paid for?

I'm also wondering how to back up or access the apps in case I do want to restore the phone. I'd like to do the restore if thY will help the Friend Stream app run better. help would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is what I did:
Please note that all data will be deleted from the HTC DROID Incredible as a result of this procedure. This process does NOT delete data stored on the microSD card. We recommend backing up all of your personal data before proceeding.
1.Turn the power off. If your HTC DROID Incredible is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2.Hold the Volume Down button
3.Press and release the Power button
4.You are now presented with a menu that allows for Fastbook, Recovery, Clear Storage, and Simlock
5.Select Clear Storage by pressing the Volume Down button
6.Press and release the Power button
7.Now simply confirm your decision: Volume Up for YES and Volume Down for NO
If you selected YES, all data including third-party applications will be deleted from the HTC DROID Incredible. Once the wipe is complete, the phone will reboot to its factory fresh state.
I hadn't paid for any apps. So I didn't mind starting new. Perhaps if you use one of the backup programs in the market.
Alright, I did as you suggested and Friend Stream works fine now. Thanks for the help.

Will this erase any "Scenes" you have saved?
Yes it did erase my saved scenes.

Anyone know of a remote desktop app that you can write a message on the screen from anywhere? I'm talking about when I'm at work I can make a message appear without a special app.

I believe there is a paid appp called remote desktop in the market, but I think it is something like $30. It is actually called remote desktop. Hope that helps.
Thanks will check it out.

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.

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

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

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.
Ok I have been searching for a while now on a resolution for this and recently found it on another forum. There is a similar post here on XDA and I think because the user posted it under his specific phone model is why it is not getting much love.
***Not meant to step on anyone's toes. Really just wanted to get this out here so that everyone could finally enjoy!!! Mods delete if this is redundant.
To get FB push notifications working here are a couple of things you can do:
Get a Blackberry device. Any one will work that has the FB app. If you don't have access to a BB you can download a simulator from BB. Go here to get your BB simulator. I went with the Storm II since I looked at one a long time ago when I contemplated my switch to a Droid. Glad I never went with BB lol. In order for the simulator to work on your PC you will need the Java Dev-kit which can be downloaded directly from Java or just click here
Install the Java first and then run the installation for BB sim. I have Win 7 and it took me less than 10 min total for both.
Once you have everything installed go to your Facebook app on your Droid and clear cache and data and logout of your Facebook app. I know you will lose everything, but you will get it all back in just a moment along with NOTIFICATIONS!! Launch the BB simulator. Once the mock phone loads on your PC launch the Browser on the BB simulator and point it to facebook.com. It should give you a suggestion to download the app for Blackberry. Click the link and follow the instructions and in moments you will have the FB app on your BB. Once the app is done installing login with you credentials. Once you login accept all permissions. I even selected to remove email notifications within the BB Facebook app so I could see that it worked. I also made a status update just to see if FB in fact recognized my update and sure enough it said Facebook for Blackberry. If you have a physical BB you probably don't need to download the app so you could just skip that step.
Now go to Facebook.com from a PC and go to Account Settings. On the left hand side go to Notifications. Scroll down the page to where you see other Notifications. Click that and there you should see Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones. Clear the checkbox and hit save, then add the check back to the box and hit save again. Now logout of FB for the BB sim and shutdown the sim. Go back to your droid and login to your FB app. Select whatever you prefer for syncing your contacts and then go to Settings and make sure that notifications are set to active(checked). The refresh interval has nothing to do with notifications, its just how often do you want the app to refresh the newsfeed in the background. I have mine set to never. Everything is now done and should be all set. Whatever you do, DO NOT DELETE THE Facebook for BlackBerry® smartphones application on Facebook or you will have to do this all over again.
Works like a charm. I now get notifications immediately for chat, comments, mentions, messages. They all come through perfectly. In most cases I get them faster than I do on the Browser for the PC.
If and when FB gives us another app update you may need reset the permissions for the notifications again. Just login from a PC and go back to your Account Settings ---> Notifications ---> Other Applications and uncheck the BB box and hit save recheck and hit save and all is well. I had to do that with the most recent update, but everything still works flawlessly.
I'll definitely give this a try!
Are you kidding?????????
In the Facebook app, I've set update rate to "Never" and ticked all the notification options and I do get push notifications fast and reliably for the last few months.
We don't need access to a BB.

You do need access to a BB. For some reason when using a BB to access your Facebook account activates push. Try it out. Either find a friend or use a simulator from my earlier post. As soon as I performed the following my push started working.

But Push works just fine for me!!!
That's what I said.
You just need to set the Refresh Interval to "Never" and Notifications to ON, in the Android app.
Your method is obsolete, not to mention inconvenient.

Sorry, but no, push does not work for alot of people, including myself (HTC Sensation). It seems that users that have never logged in on either an Iphone or BB experience the most problems. These 2 seem to add an option to your Facebook-account regarding push updates (see OP), which the Android version doesn't seem to do. For more users experiencing problems see http://www.facebook.com/android/posts/131145080279409 for example
I will try this option and let you know if it works!

Exactly. If you've had a BB or an iPhone then you probably won't have the issue. It does have something to do with a service that both the BB and the iPhone invoke. I have a sensation too and this method worked for me. Let me know what you come up with.

This combination of options (refresh Never - notifications On) is actually how you enable Push Notifications. Facebook stupidly enough didn't make it more clear in the app settings. Hence most of the confusion.
All I'm saying is I've never owned, used or logged in from an i or BB device and notifications come to my phone annoyingly fast and often!

Actually those are the settings that I have been using for quite sometime and it didn't matter until I logged into my account from a BB. Literally as soon as I did notifications just started rolling in. Trust me I have been trying to figure this out for the last 2 1/2 years I've had a Droid.
And I know I'm not alone as hundreds if not thousands of Droid users are posting here and all over the net on how to get FB push working. It wasn't until recently that I came across this thread on another site that pointed me in the right direction.

If I remember correctly when you launch the simulator it loads up just like if you actually powered a phone on. So it might take a while. Another option would be is to try a different simulator.
Which sim are you using?
Im using the storm 2 as i know it worked for you, its moved to the clock now so fingers crossed its loading slowly

I think I enabled wifi in the BB phone settings. Seems like that got internet working for me. Play with network settings of the Sim. Treat it as if you were using a real phone that is just not connected to a data plan.

I am new to android having just come over from the darkside.(iPhone). One thing that I miss from the iPhone is that when I visit a web page in mobile safari, and then exit the application, I could come back to the application and find My web page still open and any windows still open as well. Is there any setting I am overlooking that would allow this behavior on my android?

Its called home button, dont worry, it wont consume memory
Sent from my X10a using xda premium
You should be able to press Home, open whatever else you want to use and still return to the Browser as you left it. Android will keep the Browser state in memory as long as you don't open too many other things in the meantime, otherwise it may be booted out to free up memory.
Long press Home to switch between apps that are in memory.
The home button solution works okay, thanks guys. Does anyone know if there is a way or another browser application that will allow me to keep those windows open indefinitely?
