ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.
There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.
just downloading now will update on what its like
that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand
Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.
yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app
Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.
setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me
Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.
thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

Does your phone have to be rooted for this?
I get error getting device list. Do you have to install something on the phone for this app to connect to?

that was a nice little app that i miss now that you mentioned it
webkey (root required) for control over phone
lazydroid & remote web desktop for sending SMS from computer and a few other features
they can be found in the market
I use Remote Web Desktop for SMS, which is the main reason I used MyMobiler to control my WinMo phone, but I still have to go on my phone to mark the messages read and to read them because there is a delay from when I get the message on my phone and when it shows up in Remote Desktop.
It would be really nice is there was a way to operate unrooted phones...
"my phone explorer" is pretty good and supports android,

Don't need to be logged in on google talk......Just need to have your google.mail attached to the market on your device (Which you do when you activate the market for the first time)!
Works awesome, I have been playing with it for about an hour now.

The point of it is to install apps from your computer. Going to the site on your phone kind of defeats the purpose of it, especially when you already have a thing call the Market app on the phone.

Its not designed for mobile browsers..........
the market is supposed to be used on your mobile.
The purpose of the web based site is so you can install apps without even touching your phone, from your PC.
sweet
now this could be nice

But you have to have your phone to run the app....doesn't that mean you have to touch it? And so, why not download from the Market app?
Kinda dumb useless if you ask me.

You don't have to have your phone. The website pushes the app to your phone and your phone installs it automatically for you, there is no manual install on the phone to be done. You don't have to touch the phone at all. it just has to be on!
Try it.

It makes searching for apps easier
It also makes reinstalling all those apps easier after you get your replacement phone from the random shutdown issue or after updating to a custom 2.2 rom.
MUCH easier.
So,
One of the reasons I picked up the transformer was the hope that I could make video calls of some sort with it. I remember some youtube of the TF101 doing it at CES and now that I own one, I'd like to see it work.
Can anyone step me through how they have done it, or if it's not workable or ....
Cheers,

Dunno about other apps but I know Google talk video chat works great.
You do this in Google Talk, find one of your Gtalk contacts that has a little camera icon beside their name, and click on Video call.
If you dont have any, pm and you can add me as a Google Chat friend, and test a video call.

I tried out fring today and it worked amazing!
There's always Skype too of course.

No video on Skype at the moment.
Does anyone want to try out Fring's group video chat with a few members?

My mistake.
You can install Tango, this one allows video call cross platform i.e. iPhone users too.
The quality is excellent if you have a strong WiFi connection ( and the person your calling) also works from 3g if used from a handset or tab that uses it.
Also try qik.

The qik app force closes whenever I try doing a video chat on the transformer. Anyone else have any luck?

Google Video Talk worked EXCELLENTLY. I showed it to my kids and they ran with it for the last few days. Then, they wound up teaching their mother how to do it.
Thanks for your help folks !

very new in the android world so can someone list the steps for this to work.
Has anyone managed to get the leaked Skype Mobile with Video apk installed?
When I try it just says "Not Installed" - restoring with TB also fails.
Can someone tell me how to get the video chat to work between my transformer and a windows account using the Google Talk/Chat.
I was able to install the software on the windows machine butr not on my transformer. The google chat software said it was for windows (i.e. xp, win7 etc) only. Android was not mentioned. I also checked Android market and was unable to find anything related.
Thanks

Google talk is already installed on the transformer, the app icon is named "Talk"

I also tried Tango on my TF to my wife's Iphone 4. I noticed that the image was up side down. Did you experience this when you are using Tango? I also tried Fring and the image was also upside down. I tried turning the tablet and still doesn't work.
I was getting an upside down video on fring as well.. what a shame
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
Finally today managed to make a video call through Gtalk. Very fast and good image quality I would say. The app FC in the beginning, I can't say why... but a quick restart of the TF fixed it.

Do you know if Skype is working with transformer. I have no luck.

I had the same issue with tango and it kept FC'ing if I was connected to my bluetooth headset.
hai there,
does anybody has the same probleme as me?i cannot open the pictures that been send tot me tru whatsapp..and i cant open "little moevies"from browser?
any idea?
(exuse my bad english)
I use WhatsApp for the most part of the day, I'm able to open, send and receive pictures and videos. Everything is running ok.
Try reinstalling the app... who knows?
i tried that,no differenceso i thought maybe i have to do a batterypull..
but i cant open de cover..tried it for 30 minutes..
have you seen in the manual how to open the cover? you need to push it with both your thumbs.
anyway, i'd try uninstalling and deleting all the cache you have from whatsapp of your SD card... then do a clean install and see if it's working.

Hold the phone face down on your palm, with the keyboard on your fingers. Now with your other hand, press the bottom of your palm on the battery cover, press hard and push upwards to remove the cover.
try factory reset next... xD
thank you,i've managed to get it open,en did a batterypull,didn't change anything..i think i have a early edition of this phonebecause i cant find many apps in market,like whatsapp,angrybirds.. also my battery sucks

I don't know why the battery for some people is so bad. I have the phone as-is, using with Facebook chat, Google account configured and automatic sync. My battery lasts 24 hours, always. I don't installed too many apps, just Skype, WhatsApp, Evernote, Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Tune In Radio and Foursquare... maybe the case is some apps you are using?
I know that the Android market limits some apps depending on where you are based. Like we're usually unable to see the apps launched in Japan. For that there is a specific app/customization that I've read about a few months ago. Unfortunately I don't remember right now, but some Google should do it.
- Also, have you seen WhatsApp and Angry Birds on the market with other Android phones, in the same location? If yes, then we have to investigate the problem.
Alternatively, you may try downloading your apps using the web version of android market. You just have to login with the same Google Account you used on your phone and click to install on your web browser. The download and installation will happen automagically.
Curiosity: how can you say you can't see WhatsApp on your market if you're complaining about WhatsApp pictures in the first post?
was it something call market enabler? hmmm...
haii,
I dowloaded whatsapp tru the site..not tru market..
with other phones i always could use it,en it was in market..strange:$
i did a factory reset..didn't help with the pictures..i only installed whatsapp,en flashplayer..and appcloser..nothing else..
when i go to the online version of market,it say i have a samsung phone,and i cant change that.. before i had a bb 9780,and would like tot have android.thats why i bought this phone..

Advanced Task Killer.
> when i go to the online version of market,it say i have a samsung phone,and i cant change that
Open the site, go to Market Settings (Account Settings), click the second tab, under the phone you don't use click it and select Hidden.
