Help Facebook for Android update

[Joehunni]

I hope they release an update for this problem soon, I don't even sync my contacts but the 100% awake time is bullshit and not worth using the app over.

It's not draining mine anymore.. phone off it's leash since noon (6:40) and it's at 90%

I have facebook for android on 1.5

You're right - it's in the market now. It wasn't when I first posted about it - for at least a week or so. Thanks for the heads up. anyone using with 1.5 and having issues? i've been using browsers with FB and have had a lot of issues recently. Is there any difference between FB for android and just using a browser? Dolphin seems to be the most solid with FB for me though not without issues.

I think all of them have their pros and cons, so I use a combination of them depending on what I'm doing (app, mobile site, full site). The cons of the app are that you can't send an inbox message unless you're replying to one. You can't see recent activity updates on walls and I personally don't like how albums are done. Notifications need to be manually refreshed and clicking on them takes you to the browser. I've had some issues with the browser too. For a while the full site was showing blank walls but I see its fixed now, and the mobile site doesn't show some wall posts.

Thanks for info. I was having the same issues with browsers and wall posts not showing up. I've used the stock, Opera, Skyfire and Dolphin browsers and oddly, they all had different issues with Facebook with Dolphin being the most reliable. I believe the Facebook for Android issues are similar to what's happening when using browsers.

The only thing I like about the new update now is that it syncs contacts to your phonebook now
