We need a better facebook app.

mrjam3s · Mar 16, 2010

I haven't had any problems with the stock FB app, but I'm all for a better one.

Fiezta · Mar 16, 2010

please this might be a lil bit off the topic, but any help will be nice. what do I need to do or change to have my txt msg from displaying on the screen page. I would like to have control of when to open it rather than just showed up on the screen with the msg showing. I do not mind the scrolling of the message one on top but the display on the middle of the screen
Thanks

Good morning...please can someone please tell me how to put facebook status on my phone screen? I saw someone phone screen and the facebook status just stay on the screen, this he really doesnt need to click on the fb icon to know his friend staus and he can also update his own status without actually clicking on the fb icon.
Thanks

There is a FB widget. Long press your home screen, select widgets, select FB.
I've found it's very slow to update though...

Give it time. We're only on Android 2.1...iPhone's got a few years on the Android devices...but we're growing fast fast fast. Better apps are in development.

i just bought the android and i m switching from my Iphone....i have a 30 day trial and this is a major letdown.... im a sad panda

If you bought a phone simply because of the facebook app, then you bought the wrong phone. meanwhile, go use google gestures, google goggles, google translate, google voice, unrestricted app development and what not on your iPhone. trust me, facebook's web site is fine for now. hell, the droid just came out a bit over 3 months ago.

nah didnt bought it cause of that and all the other google stuff i dont even know what it is!!

i just love the app on the iphone and its a one touch time killer when im bored at work. Its not a deal breaker at all but still is a strong point for me. Also im confused as if the droid has pinch zoom....aside from that im looking forward to it on saturday when it arrives ...i love how it looks and switching to verizon is awesome , also i bought two moto drois. Open source usually triumphs!

Thank you...however that only brought the icon again to my screen. I have the icon already, what I want is the status update screen.
Thanks

Make sure you have room on the screen. When you long press be sure to select widgets, not applications. Then, when you select FB it should load the widget, it shows the last 4 status updates.

the 2.1 update (whenever that is) is supposed to have pinch to zoom.
but if you use the DOLPHIN browser, that has pinch to zoom anyway, so just download DOLPHIN browser

Menu-settings-sync. Add facebook account-sign in. Manual sync and all will be good.

Fiezta · Mar 21, 2010

Thanks dougwilson2000, however I have tried several times even with the techinician on the phone, we cant never get the pfbk to sync, done couple of factort reset and just tire of it now and this is why I am hoping that I can find any apps on the market to do it for me.
Thanks
This is what I ahev been doing sinces: Menu-settings-accts& synch, the auto synch is enabled, and then click on the facebk icon to synch but always getting an error msg that synch is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
I hope these steps are what you mean by manual?

dougwilson2000 · Mar 22, 2010

When I had my sync problem (red error), I. Deleted my account (fb) and re instated the account. It worked right away. I must have had a corrupt link, I guess but it worked.
Your situation is exactly like mine was and yes those were the steps I was referring to so try deleting the account and then add it again. Oh restart after you delete, before you add it again. Those were my steps, not sure if restartt is needed but I did do it.

Fiezta · Mar 22, 2010

thanks doug, but this is the new message I got when I tried again...due to reported problems, facebook sync has been removed from android market until these issuess have been resolved. Any questions can be directed to:guanface@co.uk

dougwilson2000 · Mar 22, 2010

I am confused. Why do you have fb apps from the market to sync contacts? Droid does it stock. Dump all fb apps except stock and try again. Hell apps are free.
Uninstall all fb apps except stock, deletee fb account, reboot and add fb account to sync. Mine is working great, so you must have a bad app that you downloaded.
I use pombook to sync pics between fb and my phone. I have just these two apps for fb.

Fiezta · Mar 22, 2010

ok, thanks...will try again...

Fiezta · Mar 24, 2010

Still not working or syncing but it is ok, I gave up. Thanks
I will just look for apps that will be able to sync my facebook contact into my phone book contact, with pics.
Thanks again

My .02 I don't like the facebook app either. I tried bloo and can't seem to get it to work it never accepts the code it gives me I would like to see a better app The app on BB was much better and that surprises me very much.

radikal · Mar 30, 2010

give everything time guys! bloo is getting facebook chat and the things you want will come in time. i have had my droid since november and have seen many updates and great things

Nicks88 · Mar 30, 2010

AIM has facebook integration as well as an app for android. You can get the AIM app from the market, log in, and now you have facebook chat. You just have to make sure you connect your facebook with your AIM account on your home computer or wherever it is.

radikal · Mar 30, 2010

its a decent idea, but i think aim drains the battery, dunno if bloo would, from what he says, it will sit in teh background

We need a better facebook app.
