Facebook 1.3.2 messed up

The original facebook for android app took you to the touch site, but this one keeps taking me to the full site, and it doesn't work for my phone. Any help would be appreciated?

i noticed that if you have your browser settings set to show Mobile View, the full facebook site won't show wall posts amongst other things...

Mine is still set at android, I tried restoring to default awhile back thinking maybe I accidently changed something but that didn't work either

Im sure there will be another update out soon to fix these issues. They have been quick to fix lately. No more contact sync options either, on my phone at least. Almost feels like a broken app on my phone right now.

Better Facebook app?

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.

Facebook for android? not sure why but I changed the settings to manual notifications and it killsmy battery life.... , anyone elsE?

seems to look and act a lot more like facebook mobile now

the update was crap with some okay kinda cool features, but it sucks completely. They just dont care too much about it. I mean, Twitter apps are more popular for android then Facebook, and I only know 2 people that use that social thing.

The new update messes up notifications for me. Every time I use facebook chat or message, I get a notification "you have one new message," and when you tap on it it doesn't bring you to the message. This is very annoying because if I'm on the website chatting, I'll get multiple notifications to my phone that I got a new message even though I'm not signed onto chat on my phone. I reverted back to the older version.

Same issue here.
Sent from my Calculator with Android.

I'm seeing alot of bugs with this update myself. Uploading videos is nice, the mobile site feel is nice, but the status update page always reloads and never just stays put. I have to switch over to my profile if I want to update my status. I thought maybe it was a fluke and even tried clearing the app data and then uninstalling and reinstalling the app, no luck.

Where did you find the older version? I don't see the usual "uninstall updates" button in the marketplace, just says "uninstall". Probably something so simple that I'm missing but help would be appreciated!

[Q] XDA WP7 App

Is the official xda app only available i the us marketplace?
I would really like to have the app, it isn't available here in sweden when searching for it.
Thanks

It looks very nice, but its not available in CZ Marketplace :-(

I`m hoping it will be available in more marketplaces.
When i was on android i used the offical xda app daily.

In Polish market place the same. We have only Fast XDA:

But you cant try BoardExpress: http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-PL/apps/9a096f03-f1da-df11-a844-00237de2db9e

Somewhat relatedly, has something gone wrong with the official XDA app? Its push notifications stpped working a few months ago for me, and when I try to set them up now it says it can't connect. Anybody else having this problem, or should I just reinstall the app?

Have just searched and installed official XDA app within the UK:
As a long time user of XDA, it's great value at just 79p (£0.79)

Same here. Also everytime I open the app it asks if I want to receive push notifications. Doesn't matter what my settings are, it always asks when opening. And while we're at it, when is this app going to get a BADLY needed update?

Same for me. It got to the point where I just forgot push notifications came with this app lol.

Dammit... I guess it's a server-side issue then. For a long time, it was the only app I used the toast notifications for (I typically get several PMs every day now, and it was very handy to get a notification and preview of them without needing to check the website).
Oh well... anybody know who might be responsible for this, and could possible get it working again? Aside from lacking the notifications, the app is great.

The WP7 app was written by someone from http://www.pocketpc.ch/forum/ but I can't find any reference or app thread on that forum The only one thing I've found: official app is a special version of Board Express application, you may try Board Express forum: http://www.board-express.com/forum/index.php

Push Notification of Facebook Official App Not Working

I use Samsung Galaxy Note 4 SM-N910C that is rooted and running official marshmallow. All was going well for 6-7 months. But suddenly I am not getting push notification from the facebook app for the last month. The only time I am getting push notification from the facebook app when I try to login from another browser and a code is needed from code generator. Push notification from other apps, email, instagram etc are working. I have tried clearing data of the app, turning off platform, uninstalling greenify. Butnothing worked. What to do now? Please help.

Hi there so generally the facebook app is unliked around here because it takes up a huge amount of RAM. Many people here prefer to use an alternate client for facebook I've heard of some I think you should try some out if you feel you have done everything to activate push notifications. Here is a rddit link in case you are wondering about some opinions https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/3k2ol0/facebook_app_alternative/

actually nothing can deliver like the official app

I wouldn't now since I don't really use Facebook. Have you tried restoring a backup through titanium or some fashion?

yup bro

There actually might be a setting that might have to do with this however we could have a better idea if you tried using the Facebook app on another device. Have you tried doing that?

No, I don't have another android device. When I use swipe pro, push notification works in that app. and in facebook app itself, for code generator notification and someone is live notification, push notification works immediately. Someone told me that this is facebook's problem. He faced the same problem. After his reporting for 2 times to facebook, they resolved it some days later.

Then you should probably contact Facebook if its a problem on their end that way you can now for sure if you can fix it.
