Hey Guys,
In the iPhone you used to be able to commment on people's posts and then when you get other people's annoying comments on them you had an option to 'unfollow' the post.
In the android app of FB you don't have an option!?! Or it is extremely hidden....
Any reason for this or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
Very buried. Menu (3 lines in upper left not menu button), Account Settings, Notifications. Then Edit > Unfollow.

1st and foremost. I love this phone (GPS issues aside) it's perfect and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me which is sad.
A few Android questions (I'm running Cog 2.2 B6 with Launcher Pro):
Is there a way to organize your favorites or am I relegated to alphabetized favorites list?
Is there a way I can go directly to dial my favorites?
I am coming from an iPhone and I can't figure out how to select text that is off of the screen. Example: This is a textbox with a senten (how do I get to where the "ce" in sentence would be?)
Can I get Facebook push notifications?
Sometimes the facebook app goes into normal webpage view mode when I'm looking at my notifications, is that a bug?
For the call log is there a way where I can only see phone transactions and not text. It looks like I can view by missed, dialed OR received calls but not all 3. Otherwise I have to view all my texts as well.
Thanks,
JOe K.

First keep in mind that the current Froyo is a leaked pre-release so there are some small bugs, such as the email app issue with exchange.Alright abou the selecting text that is off the screen, I am not sure what you mean by this as normally text is wrapped? what application are you having this issue in? I.E, the browser. as far as customizing your favorites layout, I do not believe there is an option for that, only to switch to grid view. What I do since I can have up to 7 home screens (I only use 4) I use one home screen as a favorite contacts list (not sure if you can do this on launcher pro but I would guess yes) hold click home screen and select add shortcut> select either a contact that will bring up the call/email/sms/mms/navigate (if there is an address for contact) or instead of selecting a normal contact you can select "Direct Dial" it will allow you to select a contact as before but when you hit this contact on the home screen, instead of getting the normal options it will directly dial that contact. it's actually a pretty nice way to manage your favorite contacts.
Hope this helps a little! also before I forget you know when looking at a contact (including in the favorites list) you can swipe to the right on the contact to call or to the left to sms. a couple other things, you can pinch inward on the home screen in Touchwiz to zoom out to tiles of your home screens and the same is true in the TW app list, zooms out too see all app pages. the swipe to call/sms works regardless of you using launcher pro though, good luck!
Good idea about the homepage dedicated for contacts. I set that up.
It seems my sim and my google contacts have duplicated many entries. Is it possible to combine the two, so I don't have a SIM entry and a Google entry?
Also, how do I associate a picture with a contact?
Thanks,
JOe K.
To join contacts go into the contact itself, hit the menu button and then join contact.
After you join the contacts you may want you can go into the contacts app, hit menu, more, then display settings. You can tell the phone what type of contacts you want displayed. The only downside is all contacts are displayed when spelling out a name using the dialer.

Perhaps I'll delete the entries out of my SIM card and then I'll be able to easily modify my G-Mail contacts list.
Do you know of anyway how to delete all the entries for a SIM card?
Also, I still don't know how to associate pictures?
The easiest way that I know the delete all of the contacts on the sim is to display only the sim contacts and hit the menu button then delete. Then click all of the contacts one at a time. Once you are done then go back and display the contacts you want active.
To add a picture go into the contact, edit, then click on the stock picture, should have a little plus in it, and this will let you either take a picture our use one from your library.

Also if you hve FaceBook and you sync it (the widget or what ever) when you set it up deselect add all conteacts and select the ones who are also in your phone contacts list. Then when you join the two contacts (your phone/google copy) with you Facebook contact of the same person it use the FB profile picture in your contacts list and will change as that person changes there FB profile picture, it will also show there current FB status. also if you go to the activities tab in contacts after syncing FB it will show all the recent wall posts ect.
So, I have been hearing so much about google+, but to me it seems alot like facebook with some add-ons. How do you think it will turn out? Also, hopefully if anyone has a spare invite could they send it to nick.wittek9(at)gmail.com. It would be much appreciated! I hope this isn't breaking any rules or anything, even after that noob video 0.0.
*UPDATE* - If anyone wants to be nice and try this:
Create a new Circle and call it Invite. Add a new contact to the circle by using "Add a new person" and enter ONLY the Emailadress.
Save it and view the newschannel of the newbuilt group by clicking "View stream for this circle".
Post a new statusupdate in the channel. Hover over the blue button with the Circle name. Activate the option "Notify about this post", also there should be a checkmark on "Also email
XXX people not yet using Google+" and then press "share".
The users in the Circle "Invite" should now receive a email with your status update. Inside this email should be a link "Show post of YYY or comment".
By clicking the link you should land on the Google+ start page. Registration should now be possible. At some times you can't register it only helps to try later again!
Thanks in advance!
All I have been seeing about invites is that they don't work at the moment Probably too many people trying to jump on it right now.
I've been receiving invites from a couple of colleagues but the only thing that happens is that Google+ is telling me "Already invited? We're out of capacities right now, please try again later."
About Google+ itself: yes, it's like Facebook but *without* addons (as there's no API, yet). The only big difference seems to be that the way you post information to "groups" (called "circles" in Google+) should be better in keeping you from informing your boss that your jobs sucks
Maybe google doesnt like SE puts fb stuff to every menu in their android phones?
No Invites at the moment but a workaround
Create a new Circle and call it Invite. Add a new contact to the circle by using "Add a new person" and enter ONLY the Emailadress.
Save it and view the newschannel of the newbuilt group by clicking "View stream for this circle".
Post a new statusupdate in the channel. Hover over the blue button with the Circle name. Activate the option "Notify about this post", also there should be a checkmark on "Also email
XXX people not yet using Google+" and then press "share".
The users in the Circle "Invite" should now receive a email with your status update. Inside this email should be a link "Show post of YYY or comment".
By clicking the link you should land on the Google+ start page. Registration should now be possible. At some times you can't register it only helps to try later again!
My Google ID is [email protected]. So if someone with an account wants to try it out please include me in the invitation circle!
When I am on Facebook using my web browser, I no longer receive notifications from Farmville (and other time waster Facebook games) that my friends have bought a new donkey, or whatever.
However, the People app on my Windows Phone 8 insists on passing those messages on to me.
I am to the point where I am going to have to unfriend a couple of folks because I waste tons of time having to scroll through the stupid Facebook game notifications.
Is there anyway I can make it so that I don't see the stupid Facebook game messages?
Thanks!
OK - I figured it out, I think...
I am not sure why I wasn't seeing the game notifications when I used my Browser to access Facebook. I was able to stop the game notifications coming to my phone:
Log into Facebook in your Browser
Click on the little gear on the upper right side of the screen and select "Privacy Settings"
On the left side menu, click on "Blocking"
This page lets you block app invites from specific Facebook Friends or notifications from specific Facebook Apps
After setting this up, I am no longer receiving Farmville notifications from my friends.]
Hi...how can I prevent this forum from sending me email? Every time someone quotes one of my posts, gmail receives an email. I have turned off all email notifications in the settings for this website. If I set gmail to not notify me then I receive NO notifications on my phone that my gmail inbox has received an email...obviously I don't want that...since friends email me etc. I thought it might be a Chrome thing...but I have set everything there to never notify me of anything.
The only way I can stop this forum from emailing me when someone quotes my post is to disable notifications in gmail...since I can't handpick websites I don't want to receive email from...that just cancels ALL notifications as I said before.
By the way, I am NOT 'subscribing' to any threads either...so that's not the problem.
So what am I doing wrong?
thanks
Have you tried this:
1 - Click on Settings on the top right, next to your username.
2 - From the options on the left, choose the last one titled "Settings" under "Mention System"
3 - Check the last option, titled "Quote Emails" which has the description "Check this box if you do not wish to receive an email whenever you are quoted in a post."
4 - Save changes
Should work. Else, use filters in gmail to auto delete such emails...
Wow thanks a lot
'Mentions'...the only thing I didn't check. That'll teach me!
When I delete an email, I go back to the email list. I would rather have it open the next email.
I could not find the setting for this. Anyone know where it is?
THANKS
Can't say for email, but for gmail the setting is in the app. Open gmail, tap the "bars" in the upper left corner. Scroll down to settings then tap general settings and down to auto-advance. You have the choice of newer, older and conversation list.
