Hi..
is there a way to save facebook pics into my gallery ..
on the iphone it gives you an option to save.. but i cant find in any of the options anywhere to save into gallery..
thanks
I don't know about the official Facebook app but with friendcaster you can save photos easily, it runs much better than the official app on our phone although I've had a few issues accessing messages on there.

When was the last time you tired the official app, a recent update made it snappier
like same time as friendcaster, official one is still very sluggish compared but like i said friendcaster does have a few bugs, i have both installed.

You cannot use Facebook app for saving pics in your gallery!!

This feels like something which should be already built into the integrated Facebook app but it isn't. tried a few 3rd party apps like BBF Upload but the are all a bit rubbish. Videos too large to email via Googlemail. Only option remaining is to sideload to a PC and upload from there. Surely an easier way. Anyone got this working on the stock ROM?

I was having the same issue the other day. I also noticed the FB iphone app has the chat option. Why does the android version lack these essential features?

Not the perfect solution, but if you grab the new AIM beta on your desktop and enable FB Chat, and then install the AIM app from the market, you can use FB chat through aim on your phone. It actually works perfectly, been using it for about a month now.
And yea, I remember FBook [i think] having a video upload feature that actually worked, but I like the native FB app for everything else so much more.
[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.
I'm updated to 3.2 . Idont have my twitter or Facebook app now. I take it that they are not compatible, yes?

I cheked many apps out for facebook & twitte, these 2 seems to be best featured & unbuggies ones.
P.S enjoy
You can also side load the Facebook app too btw

Friend Me for Facebook.. i think its awesome it basically looks like the gmail layout but for facebook
I've found friend caster to be better than friend me. Friend me doesn't seem to update as well, also friend caster allows sync of contacts
Or get google + and make life 10x easier

Hi all,
Just installed the latest version on my Nexus S.
Compared to the official Facebook app, the Friendcaster is slower on updating the news feed.
Is this default behavior?
Or is it a known issue / limitation?
I also found that the news feed is not complete!
There were some post missing compared to the official FB apps.
That's because some people on Facebook block access to their profile or updates from third party apps, like FriendCaster. The app is still superior to the awful stock Facebook app, imho. But there are several lightweight Facebook apps that sandbox the mobile site if you're interested, like Tinfoil or FBM.

Ok, that means this FriendCaster is not good enough.
Too bad, I really like the layout, the themes, colors, etc.
But, if I miss information, then there is no point of using it.

I dont share photos often, but shouldnt there be an option to post a pic directly to facebook in our camera app? Is this possible? Do I need to add something? Or just SOL
there is, if you take a picture and then click the bottom right corner of the app it'll open up that recent picture then click the share button and then scroll to FB I just checked it and it should work. Maybe make sure you are logged into facebook on your phone and if you are try a restart or if that still isn't working I think there is a way to open said photo in a different photoviewing app (i recommend quickpic) and that will have the share feature, but if that app can share to facebook then your camera app should be able to as well. In which case maybe a reflash of the rom WITHOUT A DATA WIPE should do the trick.
You can also access the camera from the FB app and post the picture directly that way.
I acctually just use my browser to ,access fb cuz the app uses too much batt. Maybe u need to have the app to have the share option?

You can try FriendCaster and disable notifications. It's quite a bit less resource intensive than the official app.
you can also disable notifications in the official FB app as well but knowing facebook some sort of data nonsense will be going on in the background so you can use a data blocker like pdroid (i think that's the name) or autostart blocker to stop it from opening unless you open it.
