Hi guys,just wondering whether anyone can help to create a better Facebook app?The official Facebook app is great but just some issues with it.I can't seem to view photos that doesn't come with a album and sometimes,the Birthday of some people aren't shown.Lastly,maybe a function to be able to view your mutual friends with a certain someone would be great! This Facebook 'part' I unfortunately feel that the iPhone Facebook app is actually better...So please,any app developer for a better Facebook app???

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help
I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

Does anyone know if its possible for us android users to respond "to all" when iphone users send us a group text? Or even see who's involved in the group text? I've searched and searched and don't think there is a way so I figured Id ask here in case someone knew of a way.

Whatsapp.. That should work. Dunno. Don't use official texting. Whatsapp should work though.
And tell them to get Android. Make fun of them. Show the beautiful widgets. Then tell them to show you a beautiful weather animation on their homescreen. In they pull down the Android rip off pull down tell them it's weak, full screen. It should be easy, you know. On your little dinky screen.

Trust me. I've done literally everything you just listed. I've been an Apple user since the first gen Iphone up until the Iphone 4. Whatapp does work but the Apple user has to download it as well. I'm trying to see if I can connect with their native group text. I guess that's impossible at this point since we cant cross platforms yet. Similar to BBM on blackberries. If there is anyone with any ideas, please share.
Currently we are using Voxer which is pretty neat. However, the iphone user still needs to download it.

I'm looking for the same solution. Does anyone know of an app that allows android phones to see iphone group chats as group chats rather than breaking everything down into individual text messages that way we can do a reply all rather than having to send the same message to everyone that is in the group? Thanks.
There's plenty of apps that do this. 8sms is my favorite.

Thanks for your help. I've installed the app and it looks nice. I still need to test it out to make sure it works with group text messages with iphones. But I'll update this post once I'm able to confirm that it does or does not work. Thanks

Android 4.2 messaging app does it natively now. And there's also the new Hangouts which allows for group messaging.
Android 2.3.6- 4.0.4 I've used NinjaSMS and can can confirm it works with group messaging. Again, there's also the new Hangouts app.

I'm currently trying NinjaSMS. Hangouts didn't work for my phone. I couldn't send or receive MMS which appears to be a known problem with a few phones. In addition, the 8sms app which was suggest to me also didn't work. It broke up their iphone group text to an indiviual text from each person. Therefore I still had to reply individually to everyone in the group. I'll let you know if NinjaSMS works for me.
Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.
Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway

Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.
I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.
If you are lazy: here's a link to the download:

thanks for the app..

Hey. Can the app send sms at a specific time? For example set it to send an sms to a contact at 2pm and when the clock becomes 2pm it sends the sms. Cz I'm looking for such a feature.

Try SMS scheduler from the play store

what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply
A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...
Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!
The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store
