[APP] Facebook 1.9 update

just a new update for FACEBOOK 1.9
soooo smooth. go grab ur update!

Just got 2 new shortcuts, a bit of UI changes and the speed got improved a bit.

I'm not to big for the extra icons added but luckily I'm using another app for camera that isn't labeled camera like the one included with the update. Noticed the speed boost too

ICS contact photos sync?
Now when linking FB to contacts, I now get contacts photos syncing correctly on the Galaxy S2 running stock Samsung ICS 4.03. Before the 1.9 update it wouldn't display a picture (though it did work on Gingerbread). That was the only thing bugging me since upgrading to ICS. I've heard that on the stock Galaxy S2 roms Samsung had removed the ability to sync to FB, just like on the Galaxy Nexus. So i'm not sure whether its due to FB finally using the new API's or whether it just works on Samsung ICS firmware. Anyone know?
Liking the speed boost and the new notification settings.

And the $1million dollar question for today is, naturally:
How to get rid of those extra shortcuts, cam&msgr???

To hide the new icons, use a launcher that will let you hide them. LauncherPro has this feature, as does 360 Launcher. Not sure who else.
Now where's my $1 million? Haha.
Facebook 1.9 is okay... there are some UI tweaks around the app, nothing major though. Commenting on an image seemed a little more straightforward, and the comment box looked different.
If you want an ICS-themed Facebook app, look up Fast Facebook. It was just featured on Lifehacker yesterday, but I got it a week or two ago here on XDA. Should be able to find it in this very (sub)forum. I don't care for the UI but it is faster.

Heh, AWD Launcher here.... any other tweak??
TI backup cant see them.

Oh this really annoyed the hell out of me.if I wanted to install Facebook messenger I would have I I wanted to use a camera that links directly to facw book and crashes every time I open it I'd install a separate app.
Facebook needs to split the apps out and let us install the ones we want.
I'm hopefully not the only one but I've just uninstalled the app and bookmarked their mobile site in my browser and installed someone else app.
I'll have to use something else to sync photos

mez, you can use haxsync to sync photos if you are in ICS.
BTW does this version sync your facebook contacts (with their pictures) correctly in ICS?

Thanks. Haxsync has been mentioned before. I think it'll be one of the first few apps that I buy. I don't want to put my credit card on Google checkout just like I haven't on Xbox or iTunes or my wii yet I can still buy paid content of all of them
Android needs gift cards.
I'm using tweetdeck for fb and contact photos seems to sync with my contacts from Gmail anyway. They don't update but its a start.
I can live without the fb app for now.

HELP! Tablet "Launch Bar"?

OK so one of the features Verizon went out of their way to promote with the new ICS update was the "launch bar". Obviously I know where that is on the phone ICS interface, down there at the bottom. Where is it on the tablet? That would be awesome to be able to keep certain apps and shortcuts accessible on every homescreen. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to do it on the tablet though! Anyone able to help?

Try out nova launcher or any other that offers dock options.

Nah I'd rather stay with the stock launcher. Thanks though!

I think what verizon was talking about is the recent apps list where you can quick change to another app you have recently had opened. Do not confuse that with a launch bar that you may see on a windows PC. However, if that is what you would like to have then check out EOS 2.0 rom. It has this feature of putting apps down at the bottom next to the soft keys. And it uses stock launcher. In fact its what I like to call "enhanced stock experience". Great stable rom, awesome features.

I thought that too except they specifically said drag apps and shortcuts to the launch bar for easy access from any home screen, plus the multitasking button isn't new in ICS. Honeycomb had it too.
Honestly I think it was a marketing faux pas on their side because as far as I can see, the launch bar exists phone only.

[Q] backgrounds in the s note

how can i add backgrounds to the s note? when i go to idea note i can see there are backgrounds but i want to add a background of my own.

In the notebook overview, select menu and import (next to add new note). Import a image file or a PDF with your background and select what type of note you want it to be. At least if you select a image file, the image is background for every page you add in that note.

going to test this, thank you

thank you, worked great

Note however, that if you manually change the background in the app for the given note you will lose the background image and I'm not quite sure how to insert it again in a existing note.
Edit: I found that in the new SNote version you can add your own image as a background where you change background by just clicking on the symbol in the upper right corner. The previous way was the only way to do it in the previous version as far as I know though, and since you're asking I assume you still have that on your tablet.

Then you have the precious version, and in that one I don't think there's any way to add a background without adding it as a picture.
You can't update it manually as far as I know, it's just a part of the JellyBean update that you probably soon will get. You can of course search for those kind of updates manually in settings.

A black rectangle with what I suppose should look like a mountain inside. But it's strange if you have another version since this is a UK 8010 as well.

The only icon that looks like that on my snote is the "insert object" one, but that doesnt change the background like you described above... unless I misunderstood what you wrote
*edit
Just looked at your post history and it appears our snote build number is different, even though we are both on JB. Mine is running the official ota from the other week, I guess yours is not?
Cheers

The button doesn't set the background, it's letting you select an image to have as background and of course whether it should be for every page or just the one page you have selected. Mine is opening the gallery or the Dropbox folder, if your doesn't I don't think it's working.
I have the official UK ota from a couple of weeks ago, however I don't think it's necessary the same between regions and especially not if your is 4.1.2 instead of the 4.1.1 I'm running. Other than that, I have no idea why your version aren't the same as mine. But considering how badly mine is working as you might have seen in my previous posts, you have nothing to be envious about

Found the icon , though its buried in the settings "other settings > change background > gallery (mountain icon)..."
Rechecked my version number, and we do have the same one. I was looking at the wrong snote!!!!! Lol
Other than palm zooming, which is p*ssing me off, so far so good for me....

Haha, I'm not sure where else to look for such a setting but It's a good thing you found it anyway!
Speaking of which, what is this small SNote file anyway? If that's the actual update that is causing so much troubles and removing it would be a solution, that can't be to hard even if it's requiring rooting the device?
I agree, that's really annoying and basically enough to make it useless for note taking in class where the tempo is fast. But other than that, the problems with the functions for recognizing different things you draw makes it not as out standing as it once were. It's a good thing there's LectureNotes and that the developer is so active to get things working a 100% and improving the application constantly. I can't wait to get the customizable drawing tools!
By the way, I called the samsung support in Sweden once again and the guy I speaked to today was sure that the only way to get the old SNote back was to do a factory reset after which he was very clear that doing any of the things I mentioned like rooting the device etc will destroy any warranty what so ever. But naah, I'll try again tomorrow, maybe even to the service center.
Anyone that has been more successful in their contact with Samsung? (sorry if this is considered OT)

Google images shows less results in the new layout. Phone browser

Dear all
Yesterday I was searching in google images from my default browser and I noticed the layout is changed and you can view the list results by scroll down the page. The more you scroll the more it loads images until u reach the bottom of the page. Unfortunately the number of results are very less and there is nothing to press to take you to second page.
Btw I used very common words in my key search example android samsung...etc
Can you try this and check if you encounter the same thing I do have?

Facebook Chat Heads

Has anyone been able to get Facebook Chat Heads to work properly on the Note 10.1?
I'm running stock rooted TouchWiz with Nova Launcher and have chat heads enabled in the Messenger settings, but I never get the chat head bubble when I get new message.
Thanks in advance.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app

I use today an xperia z tablet and when you receive a new message from Facebook the bubble appear immediately on the screen, but on this tablet, Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, it doesn't appear immediately. That's weird. I hope someone post a solution

No one's knows why Facebook chat heads doesn't work properly on Galaxy Note 10.1?

Just found a temporary fix: go to messenger settings > chat heads and uncheck option 'Hide when using apps that take up the full screen'. Now the chat heads should be visible until you close them by dragging to close button. Still, you lose the option to hide them while using full screen apps.
