I receive my Gmails via push on my HD and this includes facebook etc
When i clicked on a link in an email before, it would open up m.facebook.com even though the link was showing www.facebook.com/blahblahblah
Now however, it opens the full webpage which takes twice as long and i cant do a thing with it when it opens.
Is there anyway to set mobile email links or opera to open the mobile web version?? When i click opera on its own and open m.facebook.com it works fine.
Any suggestions??
Thanks,
Matt

I've been using Facebook on my HD2 but it seems pretty naff compared to the iphone app. Photos take ages to load if at all.
I've just tried the web version via Opera and everything works. My question is can I use the big Facebook logo that the windows mobile app uses but have it launch the web page version.
Ive saved it as a bookmark and added it to mu homescreen but it just shows a thumbnail of the page. I would like it to use the Facebook logo.
I installed Opera Mobile 10 beta, then uninstalled it. Since then all web links open in IE instead of Opera, which is my default browser. IE asks after every launch if I want it to be the default browser, and Opera not, so this should be set correctly. But all web links (from twitter, from shortcuts, from internet tab bookmarks) open in IE. How can I fix this?
I had this issue on my myTouch as well but when I get an email from facebook saying someone has commented on a post I made or something similar and I click it I get sent to the ugly mobile site and it just loads the live feed not the actual post. I just wanted to know if there was any fix for this or if it could load the touch site instead (or even better the app) so I don't have to wait to go to my desktop or look though posts in the app since the notifications don't work on the Nexus One yet.
Yeah mine does it sporadically. I haven't used it for a couple of days but maybe it has to be in the current processes list/ list of current applications for it to recognise it, else it opens the browser. Just a suggestion.
The whole notification thing really irritates me. You'd think since it comes with the phone, they would at least check that it works ¬¬
Well the web address sent to you in your email is from facebook.com and it is a http link to the full web site, facebook doesn't know that you're viewing this from your phone. gmail/email on the phone is going to treat these links the same, there's nothing built into the formatting or platform to make these 'special'.
I would recommend you disable email notifications on facebook, and configure notifications within the facebook app. This should get you the behavior you desire.
Ok so since i've fixed my facebook notification issue I actually hate the facebook app. Seriously, what app shows a notification which you have to open via an external link? I thought that was the point of the app? The facebook mobile website is atrocious, and i'd actually prefer to open it in web view rather than mobile view, since that's the point of a smartphone.
I hate to bring it up but even the iPhone did a better job. Almost everything could be done through the app. Almost.
that aint the phones fault its the app developers lol

To anyone having some problems, the best workaround I can find is using Dolphin Browser and changing the User Agent to iPhone. This will automatically pull up touch.facebook.com
I am having problems logging in using the widget that comes with mobile shell 3.5. When I click the widget it opens up my web browser - I sign in no problems then it tells me to close the window. When I do this and go back to my home page the widget is still not logged in. I have to repeat the process again.
Any help would be appreciated.
Same issue here. have to resort to just setting up a link to facebook within opera

Is there anyway to stop chat auto signing in, I find it a pain when I go to check Facebook but don't want to chat. People start chatting or send me messages when I am to busy to chat.

I went back to 1.4.0 because of this.

Just go to the chat section of Facebook for Android, tap Menu, then tap Go Offline and it'll stay that way until you enter the chat section again
Am I then offline at the pc also? So stores facebook that I am offline our only the phone?

You'll still be online at the PC, PC and Facebook app work independent from one another so to say

Wrong
Try to chat on android and open facebook on your PC. Pop up window will come out and chat will be shown on both devices

THANK YOU,will try this. Hopefully it works
I find it easier to use friendstream. I rarely use the fb app so that removes the chat problem

go to settings, apps, then clear data and cache from facebook app, then download the latest facebook from market, sign in (HERE IS IMPORTANT NEVER CLICK ON THE CHAT TAB) then go to market, download facebook messenger (the official one) and log in the facebook messenger.. thats it...
when you want to be offline, just log out from the facebook messenger app with one click, and if you want to chat just log in in the facebook messenger app with just one tap, also facebook messenger app its better because you can have group chats, and send photos through it
hope this helps you
or just delete the app and use the new HTML5 mobile web interface which is great (it's like the iphone app).
Also do not forget to close all the fb session from the desktop web interface.

Yup, this is what I do, the HTML5 page is actually better than the app in most cases!

Same here! It's a lot better and quicker I find.
Also, I found that when I did use the App to chat it closed the the window on the PC. Don't know whether this is a new feature.
If they just updated it to make it like the HTML5 page it would be a lot better.
