Hi,
I found a strange bug in Facebook for Android app. Basically when I post a status update from the app it is visible on facebook but is absent for the RSS feed of status and from the newly launched Facebook Lite site as well. However if I use inbuilt functionality in Hero to post a status message it works fine and shows up everywhere.
I thought this would have been fixed after yesterday's update but still no luck . I guess not too many people use Facebook Lite or Status feed to notice it.

Hi,
I found that there is a new version of Facebook ... version 1.2 (Market).
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/23/facebook-app-updates-adds-inbox-support/
And on my HTC Desire, the version is 112.
Anyone has updated this?
There are 2 facebook apps on my Desire:
- facebook (version 112)
- Facebook for HTC Sense (version 1)
How do you update?
Thanks
i only did the usual way to upgrade,
market -> download, and click on the application, and update.
Any feedback about the version? I see quite a few complaints about force closes on other handsets, how is it in the Desire?
Works just fine on the Desire. My biggest problem is you can't view your messages you have to manually go to the mobile site...oh wait what's this update...messaging feature finally! Now they need to add chat.
yep just updated today.. finally INBOX , otherwise not really seen anything different.
They need to get up to date with this android Facebook app. I did the update today hoping for the notifications to finally work properly, as in notifying me if someone comments on one of my posts! but alas, still no cigar, infact it never seems to notify me of anything. Is it just me?

Click to expand...

I get updates but only if I add people with facebook to my Friends Widget..... then it adds a green circle with the number of updates by a friend.
the main app works fine, but the widget doesn't. fails to load each time.
edit: confirm that a reboot does indeed fix the problem.
A reboot of the Desire solved the issue with the widget for me
I've started using Bloo again lately. Much better notifications system, slicker and more comprehensive UI (has its own photo viewer with save option rather than just linking to the mobile site for example) AND there's an update coming this week that adds Facebook Chat.
Bloo doesn't let me log in i get stuck in a login cycle.
There is also multitouch when you view images.
Have you given the App permissions? Works fine on my Desire running generic Rom. Not bothered about multitouch; the only reason the native Facebook app has it is because it opens up the browser and that's CHEATING ;-) the gallery UI is much more slick and user friendly with Bloo, besides which there's little point viewing photos en masse with either of these apps as the standard photo gallery has Facebook album integration which is pretty damn slick
they have added the inbox but still it has few bugs. It cannot show more than 30 threaded messages in a single conversation. Even when someone sends a new message in that same conversation, you can see the preview on the inbox but when you click to go on reading it loads first 30 messages.
So im still stuck with the mobile facebook to see my messages. ..
anyone know the workaround of this?
I just want an update that lets me tag photos! I don't understand why this is taking so long
The update for Bloo has been coming for a few months. However, I can send you 1.5 (w/ chat) a bit later? PM if you want.
Also, I can't see the new update. I'm already on 1.2 :s Does the new version allow contact sync like the Nexus FroYo version?
Edit: New version sounds like the version I've had for some time now :s

Anyone else having this problem with the facebook app on their HD2?
All status updates in the news feed appear to be wall posts to the same user (see pic attached).
Also Status Updates are just blank.
I've tried full reset, removing my memory card, and literally just installing the facebook app (from marketplace) and I still get the same issue.
oh, the same on my Facebook Client...
same here, this was reported in the energy rom thread too.
seems to be an error at facebooks end and theres not much we can do....
I would recommend using touch.facebook.com in the meantime....
LOL, yeah got the same here, glad it's not just me,
Also using the energy rom here,
I've got the same... It's such a mess now
Same here.,really messes it up.,hopefully they will fix soon
seems to be working again!
I have this problem, but it hasn't started working again for me! If I log out and back in, it will gather updates once, but then it will stop working again!
Arghhhhhh!
I have the same problem with updates, my app won't update at all even if I hit refresh.
log out of facebook and log back in every time you want it to update. or use your browser.
As much as i like Timescape as a concept, its facebook integration just plain sucks.
The facebook app doesnt do what i want either.
Essentially i just want an app (preferably that runs in the background and doesnt need a widget) that will notify me of changes to my news feed.
Simple enough request i would have thought, but i havnt found anything like that.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You mean like you get a notification whenever any of your friends post anything?
With the Facebook app, you can turn on notifications so that whenever you get a notification on Facebook, it shows up in your status bar...
The official facebook app only notifies for Messages, Friend Requests and Event Invites as far as im aware.
Id like the news feed...
You mustn't have many friends if you want a notification every time someone posts something. My phone would probably never stop vibrating if I did something like that.
You can try the Facebook widget from the app, that updates when people post stuff.
Correct, i try and keep it under 100 friends.
I dont really care about peoples status updates but i do want to see when pics are posted etc
Anyone having issues loading the Facebook app? When I try to open, it doesn't show any feeds or it just doesn't load any new feeds..
Having trouble with the Facebook Sync (the one tied to the phone, the App works fine) right now. Have the icon on the status bar and keeps telling me login failed and try later.
Facebook in general seems to be having issues right now. I just checked and I can't even access their main site.
Facebook is on it's period it seems. Be patient, there's more to the world...
Is anyone having issues with the Facebook app not syncing with contacts completely?? Also it barely shows any wall posts or news feed. I thought the most current version was 1.53 but it shows I have .50
Have you already gone into the market and done the manual update? A lot of my issues disappeared after I did that.
