Yeah, it's an awful app...

If i don't like an app i just don't use it...that easy
+1 for friends caster

+2&3 for friend caster. My and my nerd gf approve
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-

With Friendcaster you can't send direct messages, I'm right?

yeah rite....and now im using the old one....like it or not its still ok

Facebook for android question

So the update was supposed to bring access to pages. I don't see it anywhere. Where is it?
So its out that no one knows, or that its obvious and I'm retarded? Just curious why no one has responded.
I see no difference either.
Feel better?

I guess you can only view, comment, and like pages. Not post from one if you have one.

facebook needs to stop favoring iphone and give android some love. The app really sucks...
Just tried to email their app support and they won't even accept them. I post an screenshot later
Video upload is not reliable at all too. 8 out of 10 videos I tried to upload end up getting stuck.

The FB app by FB is garbage its plain and bland.
I started using another app for FB called Flow (There name is changed to friendcaster now the dav partnered with handmark makers of tweetcaster)
The app is excellent in nearly every aspect except one, the fact that you cant send a message from the application itself (Due to FB removing that portion of the API to only acknowledge the official FB app)
Theres a free version and a pro version on the market and its worth a try.

Because now Android and Apple users have to play with each other, only the Apple users are too childish and pathetic to share.
Awesome! Been waiting for this since HTC Flyer.
I can tell that you have been away for a long time Ricky
Personally, I try not to use the filters on instagram for my pics, it can muck up a real good HDR shot.

Is it me or? Facebook app related

Since the last update the Facebook app has started to be really buggy. Did anyone else notice as well?
My gf has a Galaxy Note and the FB app on hers bugs at the same spots as mine does too. Really annoying.
Was wondering if any of yall noticed as well or if its my cell and my gfs that are messed up.
Fb's fault! The latest update id buggy.
Their devs do not care about Android!
They have released an awesome update for iOS which is fast and nice.

Mine keeps locking up and FC'ing since the update too.
Rumors say Zuckerberg is forcing every one at Facebook to use android phones so they can see how bad the app is.
I have had to desinstal it, now i acced it via google chrome, was drainning to much juice I will wait till the android app be good enough.

They focus on the iOS app, facebook recently had their developers be required to use android phones to see how bad the app is, I'll try to find the article and link it here.

That was just a rumor. Since the IOS got rebuilt they are rebuilding androids from the ground up. No eta but the facebook ceo said employees are not being forced to use android phones.
!!! Cool story bro !!!

FB has never really been very good on Android. It's actually better to use a browser than it is to use the app for FB. Pretty sad, actually.
Worked pretty good until I installed the update.
Now same as others fc a lot and freezes when browsing photos

Well for quite a while, the Android FB app was way ahead the iOS one. Granted, wasn't crazy but was a lot better... Hopefully they come up with the new update quick because its annoying as hell.

Facebook App Center - Android developers experience

Hello guys!
I've opened this thread in order to collect some facts and issues by android developers who use the facebook app center. My experience is really bad, so I want to know if somebody had a bad experience like mine!
Please put the name of the app and after the "story".
--------
Fast for Facebook
My experience is really really bad, my app is ALWAYS under review.
They asked me to change the privacy policy about 5 times, descriptions, screenshots, covers... everything!
Today the worst thing is that they realized that they don't like the app, so they replied to me in this way:
"Apps that replicate facebook functionality are not permitted in app center"
Uhm, yeah? After 1 months of strange reviews? What about friendcaster? or seesmic? Why these apps are listed, but not mine? Lol?
I think I will give up on the app center, unless they will reply to my messages.
They find you as a threat because your Facebook application is much better then there's and its much faster don't give up on this at all you have my support

Don't give up! Your application is now running in my ROMs with thousands people using it!
As said before. Don't give up. Your app is great. They are just scared.
I use your app daily. Used friendcaster before but it was always buggy. Your app maybe don't have all the functions yet. But it is the best app for facebook anyway.
I have tried Facebooks official app but don't get me started....
Keep up the good work

Thx! I will work on this until Facebook will give up on his official crappy app
And by the way the reason why they don't accept Fast on app center is not listed in the official policy https://developers.facebook.com/policy/
( the reason: Apps that replicate facebook functionality are not permitted in app center )

Thank you so much guys!!! :good:
Anyway I am really pissed off. They don't reply to my messages and Fast is still unlisted!!! :cyclops:
The funny thing is that I have told them in my messages that other apps that replicates facebook functions are listed in the app centre.
An example? https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/112618498804176?fb_source=appcenter https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/23723376453?fb_source=appcenter https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/getpath?fb_source=appcenter
I don't care if Fast is listed or not. We are a great community full of supporters, we don't need them.
But I don't accept unfairness. What is fair? Remove them or add the other apps unlisted. That's easy :/
Some good guy at facebook re-accepted Fast in the app center.

Facebook native for andriod

Perhaps most of you know this all ready. And honestly with Facebook you are the product cause your not a customer. However because I along with others have family on Facebook we are in a bind. Well Facebook went native and it finally works well with android. So for the others that have resisted being a user. Maybe its time to give them one more shot?

so far im very impressed with 2.0
The experience is definitely improved with the latest version.
Yup, much better.
Also, the argument that if you're not paying something "you're the product" is.... well I'll just say "dramatic." Yes you're being advertised to, and maybe your information is being used for advertising purposes, but.... most normal people don't give a crap, and it certainly doesn't hurt you.
It would be nice to actually be able to hold down on an image ave save !!

I couldn't agree with you more about it hurting anyone.
Its not dramatics' its a simple fact. And that's OK that they sell my info to make money so I can have a free social media outlet.
I Apologize if this thread seems derogatory to Facebook. They seem to had missed the mark with not taking care of its "product". A vast amount of android users became disheartened of the HTML code. I wrote emails to fb explained how it seemed they were ignoring the android user.
I digress... the point of this thread was to welcome back and perhaps persuade old users to "give them one more shot" I would have never thought I'd give fb 5stars for the app! all my cool friends are on Google + and my sheep ios family are on fb.
My cool friends are all you guys on XDA!

It seems good only because the previous version sucked so hard.
We have low expectations for FB, and they finally exceeded them.

Lol. There was no better way to accessing FB than the application. Idk how you handled that if you didint bother with the app . I've dealt with that for years, but it is much better now! Not just better, but good in itself.

I usually just used the browser and the mobile site or the Friendcaster app. The mobile FB site looked almost the same as the old app and Friendcaster works really well on a tablet. I'll definitely check out the new update though. It has to be better than before.
