Facebook ver. 1.3 is now out!!

Yep, still relies heavily on the browser for notifications. If you go into settings, they only give you options to be notified for friend requests and messages. Why aren't wall posts and comments part of the notifications?

And why did they take away "pokes"?!?! I wish the iPhone version of this app would just be carried over to the Android platform.

I've noticed a fair few god improvements. The messages correctly display all messages now. Also the Events section is a lot more functional. Also could we even see friend requests before? I didn't think we could before the update? I also think there is a slight improvement on photo loading times.

Obviously notifications still needs to be updated to stay in app. But at least it's obvious they are still working on it, albeit a bit slow...

This version stays running in the background. Wonder if that will effect battery life much?

I don't like this "running in the background as a service" business... I don't have notifications turned on, so it should be constantly running. :(

I'm concerned about the fact that it's always running. I noticed it specifically and came here to see if you guys were discussing it (and you were).

Something to keep an eye on the next few days. Definitely showing up as the top "partial wake" application right now but I haven't noticed additional battery drain.


Well, it's definitely eating up my battery. I noticed a big difference overnight. I emailed the developer (I don't know if it will help).

This is a major issue that definitely needs fixed. Everyone should contact them about this problem.

It is still a garbage app compared to the Blackberry version. I am still horribly letdown by this app. All they did was change the frontpage really. I hate having to access teh web to look at stuff, i hate needing to get an email, then go to the website to see replies. BB does it 100x better. As soon as someone posts/comments/whatever, i get an alert, like RIGHT THEN AND THERE, and i click that and go right to the post, no web involved, no need to fill my box with emails. So much better and easier. And i acutally GOT alerts. This thing NEVER gives me alerts.

They really need a better facebook client. Cause i am horribly let down by this one
