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.

Facebook needs newer version

Why has ios got a new Facebook and even m.facebook.com has a new look but we (on Android) get the old version is there any other apps on the market that has the be layout thanks

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

No problem. I have no problem sharing exciting apps

Android had a lot of options in apps with photo filters, this one is only nice because it gives you access to the instagram social network, that's mostly why I have it now

Instagram is like picture Twitter.
And I don't know why iPhone users want Instagram to not be available on Android...

Oh yeah i can't wait to be part of a look at me social network (Rapidly becoming a MASSIVELY abused phrase IMHO) where people who don't even comprehend the concept of 'the light needs to be at your back' produce innovative and insightful images on 3-5mp cameras with 3mm lens and shutter speeds usually measured in whole seconds ........... ROFLMFAO
All to achieve the usual 'social networking' message of "look at me guys ..... am interesting too...."

i think it's great app. Fully compatibile with social pages,facebook twitter etc.
I <3 filters. 1977 .

it's running pretty good, used picplz before, think they can close now.

I will try. I'm bad editing photos hahaha

It works really great on sensation

Working very well!

Will it ever do video??

No i dont think itll ever do video. Im glad that instagram was updated so fast to fix all the problems it had with being incompatible with some phones and ROMS.

Facebook crap!

Why the heck facebook takes 100mb ram??

Because its coded very poorly. FB is like crack to most of its users, so they don't care it uses a ****-ton of resources, so FB has no reason to bother coding it efficiently. Like a ton of other apps too. As the phones get more powerful, the devs get sloppier since they don't have to optimize. Same with computers, or any electronic, so few users are going to notice it doesn't matter to lose the few who do over sloppy code when compared to the money and time it might take to write it efficiently.
It doesn't pay to pay attention to such things anymore, there are just way to many of the clueless around out-spending the discerning consumers at a break-neck pace (i.e. the success of the iPhone). Join the herd or be forever disappointed.

yeah u r right, good point! that background detection is pretty bothering though.

Worse still is that even their mobile website is so poorly done that it sucks ever so slightly less than the app. So the only way to use Facebook reliably is with a computer. And morons were surprised when the ipo tanked!
Now ask yourself, did I really just read that? Yes you did.

Is anyone using any third party Facebook as a replacement? Like faster book or whatever its called.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium

Thinking about just using the browser instead of the app, it's so frickin bloated.

Try friendcaster
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2

Friendcaster is a really nice replacement, but it lacks permissions to show all the content, so often you get redirected to the browser. Facebook doesn't only create s crappy app, they also stop third party apps from making better ones :/

Dolphin Browser with the 'Desktop Browser' Addon and Full screen mode does a Facebook just fine. I find the mobile web version a bit more sufficient than the app. Justmy opinion...

A little convoluted, but if it gets the photos to load every time, worth it. That's really my major gripe with the app, after you look at a few photos, they stop loading. I have to back out, force close, and clear cache to get them back.

I am in the facebook developer programm ... I will take a look at it... I know that its really "crap" so some code modifications won't work better then another app... So there will be two options.. wait for a new one...or write a new one..

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.
You can check it here https://www.facebook.com/appcenter
Finally xD

Good sir,
