Facebook Sync link to facebook app?

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the facebook tab for a contact to bring up the facebook app instead of launching the mobile facebook website?
For clarification: bring up a facebook linked contact in sense and click to view their profile, a comment, or an update. m.facebook launches in the browser for me. I would much prefer the facebook app instead.
Thanks!

This points out yet another reason to freaking uninstall that facebook app. It doesn't DO much does it?

I like the app and this seems like HTC's fault or maybe Google's. You know how when you have multiple apps duplicating functionality you get to choose which app handles each request and/or set default. Maybe Google needs to add an action for facebook?

Also the notifications that the facebook app fires off link to the mobile website instead of opening the app? What the?

No, this fault lies 99.996% on the Facebook app developers.
It's a sorry excuse for an official Facebook application in every right, especially when a 3rd party dev bests it with a limited SDK (See Babbler for Android).

whatsapp hack?

I was wondering if there's a way to view whatsapp messages from another app?
I don't want to be visible online, and the apps on market for this are really poor. Any tips?

There is an app called "Whatsapp Toolbox" that lets you see messages on whatsapp without going online or without changing your last seen.
But you need root for this app to work. This app is available on the play store and it works fine.

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] Gmail Downloading Attachment Problems

Hey Guys,
I have the latest gmail app on my nexus 4, running Android 4.4.3 KitKat. I am unable to download any attachments through the app, and it is beginning to bother me. I have had this issue over the past gmail app versions, and from 4.4.2 KitKat also. Pictures say they can't load, and any other files fail to download, and retrying doesn't help. A workaround that I can use now is saving everything i need to Google drive from within the gmail app, and accessing them from another app, but this isn't a permanent solution. I have tried wiping gmail cache, gmail data, and completely uninstalling gmail and reinstalling it from the play store after a reboot, all to no avail. None of the solutions I have found work. If you guys Know how to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have the same problem!!?? it is very annoying please anybodies have a solution? I cant't open any attachment via gmail app always I use save to drive to see any attachment via my mobile device.

Hey,
I never solved the issue and from Browsing around it seems it happens to some people and not to others. I just use the drive workaround now, because I have nothing else left to try.

Hi
Yeah the same as me, I feel tired of finding a solution for this problem. it is very wired that Google didn't mention this problem or solving it by newest version of gmail app because I found many threat talking about the same issue without a solution. many of member say to switch to K9 app instead of gmail app but the problem that in the k9 there are no categories like gmail ( Primary, Promotion, Social, Forums) I used them a lot because I don't like to get a notification when a new email come to one of these categories except Primary. these feature doesn't exist in another email app like K9.

Gmail app on Fire 10hd will not download attachments

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and have an annoying problem with the Gmail app on my Amazon Fire 10hd.
Problem: Gmail app will not download attachments.
No matter what I try, uninstalling, searching through settings, I have never managed in nearly two years, to get this app to download an attachment. I really like the Gmail app, but it is extremely frustrating to have to keep swapping to the Amazon app to retrieve attachments when using the Fire 10. I use the Gmail app on our two Samsung phones and also the laptop, without this problem, so it is indicative to the Amazon tablet. I would not want to use another app after all the years I have used Gmail.
I wonder if anyone may have a remedy for me?
Any help gratefully received.

Oh sorry, just realised, wrong forum. Will post again in Q&A's.
