[Q] Facebook App - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

for some reason on the Facebook app, the app is all scrunched up in the middle of the screen and ive tried turning the app zoom on and off but it doesn't work ive also wiped all the data on my xoom but that doesn't work either. i don't know why but it really seems to bother me can anyone help?

I have never enjoyed the Facebook app on my Xoom due to many problems with different versions of the application. Unless someone can provide you with a solution that you're satisfied with, may I suggest to you, Friendcaster, easy to use and looks beautiful.
Best Regards,
Louis

[Q] Is your XDA app glitchy on your xoom? (Mine is wifi version)...

Hi all,
I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem with the XDA app as I am on my Xoom WiFi?
I have seen some people post about FC's, etc and I too have experienced the random FC here and there in this and other apps but my issue is different.
When I am in the app and say in a post where there is lots of pictures (post your home screen for example) or if there are a lot of "hot links" embedded in the page, when I scroll, the page does not scroll properly, becomes glitchy and I get "tracers" of everything posted on the page until I stop moving the page and then it goes back to normal. (I hope I explained this fairly well).
Anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug in the app on the Xoom? I do not see these same problems in any other app or in the Browser... Just in XDA and I have the XDA Premium app.
Please advise,
Thanks...
XDA barely works on my wifi xoom. I tried to buy the premium one but it would force close market everytime I tried. The free version does not work very well.

Hmmm... Well in that case, I hope XDA is going to put out a new version of the app that is "optimized" for Tablets very shortly then.
Any Dev's or Mod's listening? LOL!!!
Seriously though... I hope that something comes out soon and since I already have the Premium app, I hope that I will not be charged again for a Tablet optimized version.

[Q] Please help a disabled user!

Hi There, I am a partially sighted user who has bought a motorola xoom. I also have an iPad and I have been looking for an app on the xoom which is built into iOS. It's the white on black feature, also known as colour inversion.
I have searched the market place high and low for such an app using all different search terms, i.e negative, inverted etc etc but I can't find anything. The native white background on web pages or any other text intesive apps really over strains my eyes, sometimes to the point where I have trouble making out the words of text. I also use the negative feature on my PC and is a much more comfortable experience.
I would like to know if anyone has come across such an app for android? I really love my xoom but I can't yet replace my iPad for using on the train to read the web because of my trouble.
Apologies if this was posted in the wrong section, it was difficult to know which category it fits into.
This might require root access. Anyways, good luck.

My device is already rooted but I still have no idea how to do it! Any ideas?
Your best bet on this may be to wait on chainfire 3d being updated for honeycomb.. one of the night modes may work great for you.

In the browser settings on my phone, I see an option to invert color of web pages. That could be a good place to start.
Hope you get it all worked out.
Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I was hopeful about the option in the web browser settings suggested but unfortunately this option doesn't appear in the settings for the xoom. Its a real shame re the complete lack of native accessibility options built into the implementation of the OS by motorola.

Anyone??? I am pretty desperate for something that can help. At least until the 3d solution mentioned above is available.

[Q] how to get email to display like this

Hi every1. Below are screenshots from my s2 and iPhone 4.
How can I get my emails to show up just like on the iPhone.
I hate that I have to scroll on my bigger screen when all email look fine to me at 100% even on 3.5" screen.
I'm using k9 but I would have no problem switching
Thanks in advance

NO! It drives me NUTS. But I have yet to find a way to fix it. I will be following this thread!
Lol. Yea i wonder y they made.it.like this and theres not one app that has this option.
Hopefully some1 will chime in.
as a former iPhone owner also, my biggest pet peeve with droid is the mail app(s). Nothing on droid comes close to being as usable and complete as the stock mail app on iPhone, especially when it comes to Exchange. I would give anything for somebody to make something as decent as the Apple mail app.
Seems to be a problem with ICS update And the stock Android email app. My stock ROM 2.3.6 email app allows me to zoom all the way out. Obviously you can't read all the content but allows you to see pictures.

Facebook Photos Flickering

Hi looking for any suggestions on what to do to fix the facebook app on an LG Viper (I know, not a common phone for these forums, its for my girlfriend). The app opens half the time to a blank white screen. When it does work, it's fine at first but as soon as you start scrolling, photos flicker and the app stops loading pictures. Phone is not rooted.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, cleared the cache, not sure what else to try. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
I suggest you search the web for diffrent versions of the app. (1.0/2...)

Yeah, as silly and as unhelpful as it may sound, just get a third party facebook app. The official one is a pile of crap, no matter what your device.

I usually use "Tinfoil for Facebook", basically just a wrapper around the mobile site. Tried friendcaster but didn't like how it worked. Sorry I can't help more.

If you don't like the facebook app, why won't you try Tweetdeck it's a very good app with the abillity to add a Twitter account too.
It's fast and I use it most of the time. Although I still have the official facebook app on my phone too, but since i have a Samsung Galaxy it's running
smooth.
For those other devices (like my Tab) I use Tweetdeck.
Hope this is usefull for you!

Browsers keep crashing.

Hi all,
I hope you're all doing well. I can use some help if anyone is willing to lend a hand. Just recently my phone has started to act up but I only have proof of one of the issues. So I can open any browser but it'll just crash shortly after opening a page. It happens on any browser stock or (dolphin, boat, naked) I only have logcats of boat and stock though.
To the best of my knowledge the only thing I had done was update boat like 2 updates ago. I've done nothing else besides that and my ui change, but I have no other apps spontaneously crashing. Hell even other apps with built-in browsers work no problem.
I've attached two logcats of first starting the app to where it crashes and a screenshot of my rom and ui settings. If there is more information needed let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Do you get the same thing with Chrome? Also try turning off JavaScript, or force desktop mode, or incognito mode. All of those have been suggested as a workaround in the nexus 7 forums.

Hi rpr69,
So Chrome doesn't crash. That's pretty sweet but yet I find Chrome to be a lot slower than stock or anything else... Might have to hit up the 7 forums to see if there is something that I might have missed.
Just wondering though would you know if Flash might be a common element in these crashes?
~PsyCl0ne
EDIT: Actually quite bizarre my browsers aren't crashing anymore... No phone reboot or anything.
the exact same thing was happening to me. I hardly even open the browser and the one time I tried, it crashed almost immediately like 10 times in a row!
I'm on CM10 nightlies. I will have to update to 1204 tonight and test again. I'm blaming CM10 for now.... :crying:
