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.

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

Try friendcaster

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..

Tell us how you really feel. With all the money and non- monetization from mobile use, you'd think it would be his... Mark Z's biggest priority after he is done shopping for Camera app developer's.

Im not spamming, im just trying to get feedback for my apps...
The first is a twitter app i made. It doesnt have a timeline. its basically for rapid tweeting or for people who dont care what others have to tweet and just want to tweet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v73Yvy-bbXc
The second app is an app that just speaks whatever u type. it as as boring as you are. so if you are a boring person than the app will be boring. it can be very humorous with the right words and phrases.

Facebook native for andriod

Perhaps most of you know this all ready. And honestly with Facebook you are the product cause your not a customer. However because I along with others have family on Facebook we are in a bind. Well Facebook went native and it finally works well with android. So for the others that have resisted being a user. Maybe its time to give them one more shot?

so far im very impressed with 2.0

The experience is definitely improved with the latest version.

Yup, much better.
Also, the argument that if you're not paying something "you're the product" is.... well I'll just say "dramatic." Yes you're being advertised to, and maybe your information is being used for advertising purposes, but.... most normal people don't give a crap, and it certainly doesn't hurt you.

It would be nice to actually be able to hold down on an image ave save !!

I couldn't agree with you more about it hurting anyone.
Its not dramatics' its a simple fact. And that's OK that they sell my info to make money so I can have a free social media outlet.
I Apologize if this thread seems derogatory to Facebook. They seem to had missed the mark with not taking care of its "product". A vast amount of android users became disheartened of the HTML code. I wrote emails to fb explained how it seemed they were ignoring the android user.
I digress... the point of this thread was to welcome back and perhaps persuade old users to "give them one more shot" I would have never thought I'd give fb 5stars for the app! all my cool friends are on Google + and my sheep ios family are on fb.
My cool friends are all you guys on XDA!

Thanks for pointing that out. Just noticed. Good news though. FB also released SDK files so I'm sure we will have some tweaks soon.
Sent from my One X using xda premium

It seems good only because the previous version sucked so hard.
We have low expectations for FB, and they finally exceeded them.

Lol. There was no better way to accessing FB than the application. Idk how you handled that if you didint bother with the app . I've dealt with that for years, but it is much better now! Not just better, but good in itself.

I usually just used the browser and the mobile site or the Friendcaster app. The mobile FB site looked almost the same as the old app and Friendcaster works really well on a tablet. I'll definitely check out the new update though. It has to be better than before.

Sound Pack for WhatsApp

Hey guys,
I was wondering if there is a sound pack sorta thing for whatsapp. Like for images, theres 'memes for whatsapp', 'smileys for chat', etc. Something that has a few well known sounds like Barney Stinson's "its gonna be legendary" and Homer Simpson's "D'oh!". Even Akhmed's "Silence! I KEEL YOU!!"
They make the conversation much interesting. The inbuilt emoticons in whatsapp are a little...how do i say...loud, for real expressions, if you know what i mean.
And if there isn't, do you think any of you devs could make one? (I dont know how to, wouldv'e made one myself otherwise)
Appreciate your help. Thanks!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium

The App "Instant Buttons" has an share function for hundreds of sounds, so they can be easily played in WhatsApp using the Audio-Function.

Thanks so much man. Thats exactly what i was looking for! Its a little indirect but it'll work.
:thumbup:
Best part - it has all the 3 sounds i mentio ed in the post, and more!
