[Q] Facebook App spying on us, any hacked version solve the problem? - Android Apps and Games

The latest update to Facebook brings one big issue.
Apparently Facebook now is capturing audio from our smartphone, whether we like it or not.
Has anyone here hacked Facebook to not allow this? Or does anyone know a way to block Facebook from doing this?

Just use Xprivacy.

if you don't really care about notifications too, you can Greenify Facebook to prevent it from running or doing anything when you aren't actively running it.

Facebook Android annoyance

I like the facebook app for android, it's finally getting close to the functionality of the iPhone app. I have one annoying problem though, I want links to facebook I get in gmail to open in the Andoid facebook App. Does anyone know how to make this happen? Is there maybe a helper app in the market that fixes this?

No idea how to fix your problem, but try "Flow" its a facebook app thats has push notifications, etc much better than the official facebook app.

Let meknow if you can't find the app, its no longer under development but I choose to believe its the best app that I ever come across for Facebook

Bloo was awesome. Flow seems to be what Bloo could have been. I just wish there was a an intelligent connection between email and the Facebook Android App.
Facebook app for Android sucks compared to the iPhone version. One of the few things I miss about the iPhone.

Facebook for Android or Facebook for HTC sense. Opinions.

THe HTC desire being my first HTC phone I had never used the sense UI or any of its features previously, so had only had experience with the official facebook for android app from the Market.
Ive just set up facebook for htc sense with the friend stream etc and I'm rather impressed by it. Just wondered what your thoughts are on both these apps? here are mine.
Facebook for Android:
Pros
Has the chat function
Official app from facebook so gets updated (eventually) with new features, although still way behind the iphone app apparently.
Cons
Doesnt allow tagging of photos
Doesnt allow you to remove/delete a post/comment or that you have made or un-like something.
Facebook for HTC Sense
Pros
Allows tagging of photos
Allows multiple upload of photos to albums etc..
Integrates extreemely well with the rest of HTC sense UI, and the phone features such as the people app, gallery etc..
Cons
(most of these are things that I am not 100% sure on, so they are more like a question than a statement)
Not sure if the app gets updated when new features come out on facebook, or being as the app is shipped with the phone is it pretty much that what you get now is what it will always be, and no changes, or do HTC release updates for the sense features?
I dont think the check in feature is available with this?
I also dont think this app allowed you to delete a comment/post, althought I havent tried it yet, if it is possible, how is it done? Same with un-like...
What are you guys thoughts on both of these apps? Which do you prefer out of the 2?
I've been facing this same issue for past 24 hours. I needed batch upload for photos. I assumed, oficial fb app should be able to do that. Well, horse hockey. It's not even able to move photos from album to album or delete album. Before I discovered that Fb for sense is able to do that, I uploaded it via email. All in all, fb app from fb lackes many features, some even included in web version for phones (touch).
well you can always choose between the two, you dint have to just use one
persinally i think sense is amazing! (wish i had it on my sgs2)
the android fb is mediocore, so i use it mainly fir chat.
so i use the facebook mobile site mainly! it has the most info on news feed etc.
I personally still use the m.facebook.com website for facebook interaction on the phone. I found the facebook application a little too limited and clunky.
Although didn't know that it could enable FB chat, until I read the posts above...so thanks.
This way I don't get constant Facebook notifications, but get the ones that I have choosen to get through my FB settings as alerts through new emails. I use both Yahoo and Google mail applications.
I have still enabled Facebook for Sense, so that I still get the status updates, birthdays etc which then add value to my users from Google contacts...
take a look at FriendCaster

[Q] Problem with Facebook For HtcSense

hello every one
i have a problem with the application Facebook For HtcSense
when i try to log in i get this massage:
service temporery unavailable
im trying for 2 days now
you think its a problem with the application itself?
the option Clear data Via the recovery can solve this problem?
or you know a better way?
thank you
im having a problem with mine too
From my experience and through google, it appears this is a problem with HTC and no resolution will ever come from it. Use the Facebook normal android app (which admittedly kinda sucks) and friendstream also won't be able to use facebook as a result.
my friend stream widget works fine. i even view pics with it with no problem

Facebook chat on andriod app

Hi,
I am making an app and I want to use Facebook chat in it. Meaning I want to enable for people can log in using Facebook and select friends and message them. I tried looking in the developers section of Facebook and couldnt find anything related to chatting. Is this not possible? Anyone have any information on this? I think its possible since apps like Go!Chat does it.
Thanks!
Don't know about GoChat but I'm personally using IMO.. Least ram usage (only 13mb) and damn battery friendly.. Hope you'll come up with something even better.. Good luck.
Do you know where I can access the Facebook api to get chat?

[Q] Help - Facebook removes support for third party apps

Hi all, recently Facebook has removed support for all third party messenger apps, not allowing them to connect to messages anymore:
On April 15th 2015, Facebook is making an update to their API (application program interface) that affects how AIM and other applications connect to Facebook.
As part of the API update, Facebook will remove support for third party clients like AIM to integrate with their chat feature. You will continue to receive Facebook notifications in your AIM Updates feed and everything else you’ve come to know and love about AIM will stay the same.
This is a major inconvenience for me as I have always utilised third party apps such as privy chat which offers features that the Facebook messenger app does not.
Is there anyway around this? Or alternatively, does anyone know of a way to read entire Facebook messages without the other person knowing you've read it?
Thanks to anyone that can help!

No guarantee it will work, just an idea. Why not try editing the files in the app? Maybe there is a file containing the servers(IP addresses)?
I'm honestly not quite sure how to do that, but I think the problem is Facebook not allowing apps to read messages anymore, leaving messenger as the only app to do so :/

Bump on the off chance someone may know a way around this
