apart from the official facebook app are there any alternatives to it because its a bit of a hit and miss for me.
Nope not really mate..
There is touch.facebook.com though in your browser
Yeah, the 'official' ones always seem to be a bit picky - apart from the Apple one it seems... I've had comments fail to post using the WM Marketplace version of the MS FB app every time when I use the physical QWERTY keyboard, but hardly ever when usin gthe on-screen one, for example. It never failed to post a status update though, on either kb
if you don't like the Touch site, there's always the half-way version at m.facebook.com.
i'm using babbler atm its amazing and notifies you on anything you want instead of just the handfew offered by the official app. gotta say the one for blackberry was actually on par with iphone i gotta say.
Yeah, I used Babbler for quite a while on my G1 - not got around to installing it on the Desire yet. Best thing was that it notified you whenever someone "liked" your status or photo, which no other app does AFAIK
What about bloo? Ive installed that atm cus Babbler seemed slow..
I only had lite though, dunno if pro is faster?
Bloo has always been good IMO
Whats the notifications like? No ones sent me anything yet so i dunno! lol
bloo keeps not letting me read peoples post saying i'm not their friends etc?

Stupid question but how do you reply to a status comment on bloo? I tried to reply to my own, clicked new post but it put it as my status!
you click your status at the top and post comment took me a while to

Where is the 'Like' button and why on earth can you only see the original status posted by a friend and not any comments made about that status???
I Commented on a friends status only to find out (logged on from my PC) that 4 other people had already commented and so my comment made no sense! lol

Yeah I must say coming from the iPhone the facebook app on win mob is terrible! Ok I know its pretty sad saying that but tbh before having my iPhone I didn't use facebook much but because the facebook app on the iPhone was such a pleasure to use I really got in to it... I'm having to use facebook on opera now.
Dump the FB app, it's utterly useless.
Use http://touch.facebook.com instead. Better, faster, and works awesome in Opera.
Thats what I have been using shame there isnt a facebook app that works though..

Been using the touch.facebook.com for a few days now and you guys are right so much better then the app for WM... but just wondering if anyone else is having an issue with it being slow to update news feeds? Seems to be way behind at times!
ive had that problemw ith the touch site, but the main diffeerence for me between the iPhone app, is the lack of facebook chat, thats a nice feature!
Thanks for the heads-up regarding touch.facebook - didn't know about that! The winmo facebook ap is not very fully featured at all, which is a shame, because it wouldn't be a difficult application to write. That said, browsing being as good as it is on the HD2, i usually just visit the full facebook site. With pinch zooming i find it a breeze to navigate. Touch is probably a more sensible option though i guess. Just replaced my facebook ap quicklink with the facebook touch bookmark

Yeah, at the bottom is a link to "Mobile Site" which is m.facebook.com I think - that has the news feed issue fixed, but isn't as finger-friendly (it's not bad tho).
Neither of them allow you to view or tag photos very well IMO, a decent FB WinMo app would be very welcome.
This is a post for my friend Jonathan, he has made an awesome app that will scramble your friends brains. It's free and on the market place. He doesn't tell u how to do the trick, but with a little practice and a guess he will email u the directions. See his email below.
Hey guys, this is my first android app. It's called magic poker flip, which is a poker magic property app. You can use it to flip out others selected card by touching the screen. Show it on a party will be cool. You may watch my video here.
Now the android version is on android market as a free app. It's now v2.0, and tested well on 2.1 & 2.2. Not sure about 1.6 & 2.0, but seems can't work on 1.5. The secret of the trick is hidden inside the app, maybe you can guess by yourself how the trick works or try to find the solution somewhere in the app.
Hope you guys will like it and wish you have fun! Thanks!
Thanks Chris for helping me. Some guys have sent me email and just guess the solution right. Congrats..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's two month after my app was published, and tomorrow will be my 21st birthday, so I think it's time to reveal the secret to all you guys, no matter you've solved it or still stuck in it or planning to download it.
The solution of the trick is hidden in 'tutorial', you can enter and reverse your phone to check it if you can't figure it out.
Here I want to thank all the guys who sent my email or PM, your encouragements are my motivation to go further.
For the WM users, really sorry for the delay of your version. I promise it will be OK at early September, at which time I may finish my school project.
Nice app, I'll private message you my guess and my suggestion.
i don't get it. so does the trick work by you revealing a card that someone has chosen?

yes, you can play it with your friend after you get the right solution to the app, like i did in the video.
alright then, i shall try to figure it out. will pm you once i think i got it right
EDIT: Ok, i figured out 50% already. Now to find out the other half
2nd EDIT: I figured out 99% already. Just left that 1%
By the way, this app is really awesome. Smart technique.
Final EDIT: I've solved it! This magic app is by far the most innovative and well thought off that I have seen. (unlike some iphone magic apps that I've tried)
Ha, thanks for the appreciation! Good for you to get it. Just GO & SHOW to your friends, it will be COOL.

Why is it he uses the computer to pick a card? I don't really get it.
I've tried pointing so the camera can see the card and I've tried saying what the card is, the app just gives a random card :?

When he finishes his exams, he is going to work on a WM version, but has quite a bit of coding to do. Wish him luck on his exams and I'm sure we'll see Magic Poker and others like it this summer. Good luck Jonathan! And get that Paypal working so we can send ya a dollar. It's the least we could do for your unique App!
Good luck with your exams, Jonathan
mhm....i got it to get the numbers i want, but the colors make me some kind of trouble
EDIT: got the colours also to do what i want...it's pretty neat and well done
Took 2min to find out.
It's pretty neat though.
Great app, guys.
Thanx, I promise it will come to wm, but maybe I can not work this month became of the school assignments. However, I'll reply your email ASAP. If you have some ideas or some needs you can tell me via email and I'll try to create more apps which bring you more fun. Love you, guys.

This might have been a thread in the past, but i'm not sure... feel free to direct me to the thread lol.
So anyway, i just wanna know what all of you have as a facebook app.. what facebook app has the most to offer that you choose over the others?
I personally use the facebook for android and bloo 1.5
The reasons: facebook for android- I just like the widget because I can publish my status right on my home screen and see the news feed real fast..
bloo 1.5- I use this because of the real good notification updates and of course, the facebook chat..
I know "to my knowledge" that there really isn't alot of "complete" facebook apps out there, i just wanna know what all of your insights are about using facebook.. thanks guys

I'm happy with the Facebook app. I use Nimbuzz for FB chat.

lets not start a flame war. If you don't like facebook, don't use it. If you do like facebook, use it. Some people like iPhones over Android. To each their own.
That being said, back to the topic...
I was wondering this too. The stock facebook app sucks at getting notifications. I was thinking about trying bloo. I don't necessarily need chat (ebuddy for that), just notifications.
Removed due to my stupidity...

HUH? My wife says the Android Facebook app is MUCH better and a lot faster than Facebook on her previous phone, ipony 3G.
Facebook app on android is trash.
The good news is that apparently zuckenberg has recently begun using and android phone. Maybe he'll be offended enough to get a proper app built.
I'm sorry, everyone. I guess I kinda did start flames with my comment... I just loathe Facebook a.k.a. MySpace 2.0
It's not that I don't enjoy interacting with friends, but I do that with text messages, phone calls, and real life. I mostly don't like Facebook because of:
1. Bloated, ugly interface
2. Constantly changing (not for the better)
3. Completely bullsh** privacy settings
Anyhoo...

Yes, it is complete trash. Not all posts show sometimes, your own posts don't show sometimes, posts you've commented on would disappear sometimes, the links to videos and sites don't open most of the time, you can't do a lot of the things you could do on the site, and... I don't feel like going on because I don't use Facebook at all anymore, anyway.
I say that having never owned an iAnything, too. Well, I had an iPod Nano once, but I can't stand iTunes, so I sold it.
Hopefully Zuckerberg will improve the Android app for those that use it.

as the previous posts above mine state, android fb app is trash. the iphone fb app allows you to tag photos, ability to view profile photo properly, swipe through fb photo albums (as opposed to the ****ty arrow buttons for android), event viewing, favorites tab, cant think of the other stuff off the top of my head.
they chose to develop the fb app for iphone more thoroughly than the one for android
i use a combo of android FB for widget, Bloo 1.5 for notifications and Go facebook chat pro.
The best Facebook widget I have used so far is Friendstream which is contained in the Desire Rom port. I have yet to find anything as complete in the market for stock Android. I had high hopes for the app Pure Messenger but it still has a ways to go as it currently does not indicate important info within the title of each post. For instance, a post like "thank you, blah blah blah" will lack the beginning tag Susan>Lisa giving no indication who the post is talking about. The other cool thing about Friendstream is that if you open a post with images, they open directly without going to the web site.
It's really hard to believe that there is nothing decent in the entire market for stock android.
I just use a short cut to the touch site, and fachat for chatting. Haven't cared much for the apps, but don't use facebook as much as others either.
Just downloaded the new update for the facebook android app and its a little better. I still hate that when you click on notifications it sends you to the browser

Yeah that it does, but at least now it tells you if you have any notifications. That's one thing fixed
I think in order for it to be usable though, it needs to stop sending users to the browser. If I wanted to use the browser, I would (and actually do have it bookmarked for when the app gets too annoying).
I would like to have integrated chat and a better picture uploading interface now. Baby steps haha.
i hate that photo bar down the bottom!!!
Is anyone using KIK messenger on there HD2? If so, what are your experiences?
Worked fine for me, but I don't really see the need for it over regular sms.
Actually the story of me installing it was pretty cool. My friend mentioned it to me and another friend. None of us had it installed on our phones. One of them has the iphone 4 and the other has the evo. We all started trying to install it at the same time. I had downloaded it, registered and started adding friends before the other two even had it downloaded.
Yeh I just like the fact it shows up as D for delivered so you know it got there. Then R for read so you know they read your text. My only problem is that it lags when receiving new messages. Whether its my data or not I'm not sure but I normally have data connection and they still don't come.
hey how did u guys get it in on your hd2? i thought it was only for andorid, bb , or iphone?

Sorry for such a late reply, I kind of gave up. I could never find any fixes so I just stopped using the app. My only guess is it has something to do with the fact that our phones rooted but idk. Anyone find anything out?

How good does this look?
Only prob is it is not a free app, and probably rightly so as I have never seen an android browser do this before!
If anyone gets it, post review here.

I am running on Vache rom with the acer rings wifi patch and 3.01 patch.
This is pretty darn sweet. Thanks for the find MJ-12, and thanks ER for the screenshots. Worth double the price.
Your very welcome I have been using it all day.
Its kinda a taste to what I think android will become. The same Dev has a few other floating. Apps. Like a calculator.
definitely cool enough to drop a buck and a half on. I played with it for a few minutes and then moved on but when the time comes and I need a couple browsers at the ready Ive got an app for that!
If any developers are interested in how he's doing it, he's registering the app as a service and drawing to the notification layer which also allows you to intercept (and act upon) touch events.
Not saying this app is doing it, but beware of apps that request those permissions, they could in theory log every touch on your screen.
Chrome Beta does much better

That is pretty slick. They have a calculator that does the same thing too. True multitasking here we come!
Just tried it, works great, thanks for sharing!
had this since i read about it on...... where was it, phandroid or android central, one of the two.
definetly worth the money. don't use it that much but its really nice when i do.
tip: leave browser defaults unchecked, so your tab prompts you to choose a browser and you can choose overskreen. its like window's "open link in new window"
