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.

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.

Hi, I figured since a lot of people sit the SAT test I should make an app. Used Appinventor for the purpose.
There is'nt a really good guide SAT app, or one that gives basic necessary info, and this hopefully does that. All the others I saw were word lists and hacks to put on calculator etc. The FULL version is coming soon as well, with a massive practice guide of both the reasoning test and the subject tests.
''This is the FREE Version of the SAT Guide App. SAT test is coming close, and a lot of people are confused about the actual exam and this will clear many of the uncertainties.
The FULL Version (coming soon) will feature a full practice guide for The reasoning test, as well as the subject tests. There is an option to register from the app itself, plus loads more info. Enjoy!''
Here's the link.
https://market.android.com/details?id=appinventor.ai_hateem_ha.newtest2edited&feature=search_result
Please download and give feedback.
Sounds good. Will definitely give it a go.

This looks awesome. Do you think you can do one for MCATs?
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.

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 :/

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.

Worked pretty good until I installed the update.

Well for quite a while, the Android FB app was way ahead the iOS one. Granted, wasn't crazy but was a lot better... Hopefully they come up with the new update quick because its annoying as hell.

Hello guys!
I've opened this thread in order to collect some facts and issues by android developers who use the facebook app center. My experience is really bad, so I want to know if somebody had a bad experience like mine!
Please put the name of the app and after the "story".
--------
Fast for Facebook
My experience is really really bad, my app is ALWAYS under review.
They asked me to change the privacy policy about 5 times, descriptions, screenshots, covers... everything!
Today the worst thing is that they realized that they don't like the app, so they replied to me in this way:
"Apps that replicate facebook functionality are not permitted in app center"
Uhm, yeah? After 1 months of strange reviews? What about friendcaster? or seesmic? Why these apps are listed, but not mine? Lol?
I think I will give up on the app center, unless they will reply to my messages.

The funny thing is that I have told them in my messages that other apps that replicates facebook functions are listed in the app centre.
An example? https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/112618498804176?fb_source=appcenter https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/23723376453?fb_source=appcenter https://www.facebook.com/appcenter/getpath?fb_source=appcenter
I don't care if Fast is listed or not. We are a great community full of supporters, we don't need them.
But I don't accept unfairness. What is fair? Remove them or add the other apps unlisted. That's easy :/
Some good guy at facebook re-accepted Fast in the app center.
