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 do.
That sucks! The fb app takes away hours of battery life.

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.

Did and Did more then one time non of these helped.
try one of the UN official fbook apps.
I am with Trusselo on this - try one of the unofficial apps. I like FB Black personally, but there are a few out there. Also when I have an issue with it not connecting it is usually because I have changed how I am connected since I first open the app. For example we have six wifi points at my work and if I am walking around the building and go off one onto another then it seems to confuse the app. Turning the wifi off and back on again on the phone and restarting the app is the most I have to do to fix it.
Uninstall fb app. Go to accounts and add fb as a account. After that install the official fb app.

If i do this will facebook add all my friends to my contacts and what not? I don't want everyone on facebook in my phone. Thanks again for the help. Guess i can try and see what happens lol.
Have you tried using the official Facebook app again since when you were having those problems? I have was having that same problem a few days ago too and it went away last night when I gave it a shot again...
I was also having an issue with the official FB app so I uninstalled it, rebooted my phone, re-installed it and now it's working great.
[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?

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.
Has anyone gotten facebook working?
The app can be sideloaded... some have reported it working - for me it crashes about half the time tho.

It crashes when I load it up. It i use it from an app i have no problems.
Isn't it already included ?

The "Facebook App" that is included with the device is really just an icon that loads the mobile website into the Silk browser. It's not the real Facebook app and you can't download the App from the Marketplace or the Google Market.
If you sideload the App, it appears to work when you first open it, but then later it will ALWAYS force close when you go to your News Feed. The only way to get it to load again is to clear the Cache and Storage area. So, the real Facebook App is actually useless on this device right now and you should just stick with the Facebook URL hyperlink icon that comes with the device.
I see, thanks for the explanation.
Anyway, on a 7" pad it should be comfortable to use the Facebook website, so what's the point in having a Facebook app ?

The mobile website IS pretty good now, but there are some things missing from it. For example, Facebook chat. You could just use the Messenger app, but still, it's nice to have everything in one place.
That is just one example, though.
i kinda prefer the Messenger app over Facebook app's own chat. so, Messenger works on the rooted Kindle Fire?
facebook app alternative
I don't know if any of you have tried out friendcaster but it's a great replacement for facebook. I use it on my viewsonic gtablet and it does everything the facebook app does and more.
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!!
I'm not one to want to install the app, but does anyone notice the browser just freezes when navigating to facebook. It used to just do it to me occasionally when I would view a pic to comment... now it loads facebook up and just freezes as soon as it loads. Any ideas? Anyone know how to use the facebook app without having it run all the time? I've always used the browser because the app feels like such an invasion of privacy.

Download Chrome from the Market. You'll never look back.
Or Tinfoil for Facebook
Tinfoil for Facebook is for those users that require a Tinfoil Hat when logging in to Facebook. It creates a sandbox for Facebook's mobile site in order to protect your privacy and to avoid them tracking your browsing history. Requires INTERNET permissions, and if you are skeptic about it, feel free to check the source code here: https://github.com/velazcod/Tinfoil-Facebook
It also requires the "COARSE_LOCATION" permission. This is NOT used UNLESS you enable "Allow Check-ins" on the preferences, otherwise Check-ins won't work. This option is disabled by default.
Latest:
- Ability to upload pictures through the web interface (Newsfeed -> Photo -> Choose file). This is not the same as "picture sharing" since you can't do it from your favorite gallery application yet, that's coming soon.
- Jump to top
- Holo theme for Honeycomb/ICS devices.
