Better Facebook App

Anyone working on a Facebook app? The current Android app is crappy. I had the Nokia Nuron briefly, before switching to the mytouch 3g; it had a far superior Facebook app.

"bloo" works pretty good

I second Bloo. the beta not the paid version. It is fantastic.

Yes and have been using it for a couple weeks now and is the best stable Facebook app so far. The chat works good, hardly no bugs.

are u 100% that bloo stole yer password? if so, how did u figure out that the app was to blame?

I second Bloo, using the beta since some weeks and works flawless. Much better than Facebook for Android which by the way is NOT developed by FB itself.

HTC Sense Facebook wasnt that bad

[Q] Facebook Photo help

Ok guys and girls I need the best way to sync FB photos to my contacts. Through the FB app it doesn't show the photo when you call but it shows it under contacts. I want to actually replace the image and sync it with google. I've used SyncMyPix but the quality sucks. I bought Full Screen Caller ID but need to get my money back due to no response back from the dev. It shows a nice image when calling but nothing during text or anything so kind of annoying. I want something that will sync as flawlessly as possible thanks!

Umm mine works fine with the FB app. Try changing the setting in the app to sync all see I'd that works. I noticed it worked like that on mine.

Worked for me on GB working for me with original oneclick ics rom. Not sure what your issue or what rom you are running. maybe one that deleted the sns .apks needed for this?

I keep getting "2 New Messages" for the past like 3 days and when I click on the notification there aren't any, then like 10 mins later the notification comes back again lol

They've never worked since I got the phone

Back I'm my htc inspire days we found out if you log into your facebook account on a blackberry and enable push notifications, then fire your android device back up. It worked well for a lot of poeple

i hope no need to push fb notofication.. but not really
sorry bad english

I haven't used fb lately. But I did get an event invite notification last night. I find sometimes they don't work onedy yet will work the next. I think it may be issues on their end. Try clearing the apps data and login again if not give it a few days and see if they come back.
I dis do the blackberry trick mentioned above on my account though.

To get Facebook push notifications to work you need to set your refresh interval to "Never" and if that doesn't work, leave it at never and do the blackberry trick.
-Wipe Data/Cache of Facebook on your phone and stay signed-out
-Download the Blackberry emulator from your phone
-Log in to Facebook on the emulator and allow the permissions for the Blackberry Emulator
-Check your account from the PC and make sure somewhere under one of your apps it says it's using a Facebook for Blackberry
-Close it all and log back in using your Android Facebook and push notifications should work.
They're hit or miss, they work like 90% of the time it seems.

where can i find this spoken of blackberry emulator on my phone?

It's worked for me on wifi but not on regular data, very sketchy on the regular data connection.

I just fixed my facebook notifications.
I only got notifications about events but never about posts.
I first cleared cache. That didn't work. I then logged out of the facebook app and relogged and viola it all notifcations work again.
The notification interval is irrelevant btw. I tried never, 30 min, 1 hr. It doesn't matter.
This worked for me so I hope this works for you.
Thank me if it works please xD

Facebook notification has never worked for me. My wife has the Note and it worked for her for the first week then suddenly it stopped. On GB it didn't work and same for ICS no matter which rom you get it will not work. Someone on here mentioned the Blackberry Emulator trick, that is about the only way the notifications will come to your phone. A friend of mine did it in the past and it has worked for him ever since. I will be trying it as soon as I can find the Emulator from my phone which I can't seem to figure out how to download it.

Can you give us a link from where we can download this BlackBerry Emulator?
Thanks

Somewhere on the FB website under security is a section showing authorized or attached devices. Each rom flashed adds another device to the list. Clear out that list entirely, uninstall FB from phone, reboot phone re download FB from market and install. Reboot BEFORE setting up FB login. Once rebooted log into FB again on phone and change the default notificagon sound to your choice and notifications should work again for posts, replies rcomments, etc.
<insert witty signature here>

My push notifications are working fine (Superlite 5.0) but Facebook sync is going bonkers though. It won't sync with existing contacts only, so it's either all Facebook contacts or none at all. A bit annoying.

[Q] My phone contacts cannot be visible to whatsapp

Dear all,
I use google account to input my contacts. Now, when I input a contact to my android phone. The contact does not show in whatsapp. I am sure the user is having whatsapp installed. How can I make my contacts visible in whatsapp.
Thanks.

Go to Whatsapp settings>contacts>tick show all contacts.. if the problem persists then try syncing your contacts again with whatsapp servers by going to phone settings>accounts& syn>tap whatsapp account then sync contacts... it will solve your problem...Click Thanks if i helped you.

Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Thank you very much

Suggestions are welcomed, thanks

I guess i gonna have to try my luck elsewhere , thank you anyways

Solved here as well privacy guard kept turning on, so turned it off completely, thank you for the reminder

Strange ads in messaging thread

Hello,
After having been away form Android for awhile i just switched to the Note 8. I've only had the phone a few days but I've noticed an odd issue and was hoping someone could help because my web searches aren't finding much.
Every so often when i send a text message it is followed by an ad. On screen it looks like like a web preview (sort of like when you text a link to someone, that little preview of the page you sent). At first i thought that i had somehow linked something to someone by accident.
It appears on screen exactly like i was the one who sent it. Also, the ad shares the same time stamp as the text i actually did send. The people I'm texting don't appear to be able to see them though.
I've not downloaded anything that i can think of that would be at all sketchy, so im not sure what gives. Ive tried to search for mention of this from others but web searches related to text come up with all manner of things. If anyone has seen this before or has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much

So you must have something thing sketchy downloaded.
Did you get the AT&T phone from AT&T or Samsung? Are you using it on AT&T network or do you use a 3rd party carrier?
There are only a few things that could be doing this.
1.) you downloaded a sketchy app and gave it permission to see/use messages and or contacts
2.) you are using a 3rd party messaging apps without realizing it
3.) you are using an off brand carrier that is pushing ads to your phone through one of there apps.
I'd start with seeing what apps have access to your messages, Even system apps, in your app permission settings. If you see something sketchy with access turn off that permission
If you are using a 3rd party carrier then you may have to try to find the app they are using to push ads and use "BK Disabler" to block it.

I have also noticed it when I switched back to the stock messages. What's being displayed is a preview of the web link from the text message. Somehow you enabled it when setting up the messages app. Hope this helps.

I was getting this too. I think I have tracked it down to AT&T Messages Backup & Sync. I believe they are using it kind of like someone doing a MITM attack. believe this because if I wipe all my messages and restore from Samsung backup (with affected message included) the message is not there. If I restore just based solely on the AT&T Messages Backup & Sync backup, then it is there.

The sad part is that NumberSync on ATT requires Messaging Backup. Time to move to TMO or something.

Use hangouts or Allo or Signal messenger instead of the ATT messaging app and sync you contacts to Google.
No need to use ATT apps at all.

I just bought the Note 8 and the first time I opened the Messages app it asked if I wanted to turn web previews on. You may have said yes to that and maybe that is what you are seeing. Go to Messages, Settings, More Settings, and then see if Web Preview is enabled.
