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?

Ok, I admit it, I went back from Cyanogen 6.0 to a Fresh Sense UI to update my PRI and get another taste of the 4G speed. I have no intention of this being a hater, fanboy post but wow, the Sense UI environment just does not compare to Cyanogen. Cyanogen is just so much cleaner, faster and user friendly. And now with the RC for 6.1, it is simply amazing. I felt like the phone was lagging a bit under the Sense UI and felt over wrought with some silly interfaces.
I felt obligated to post this to 1. congratulate and thank Team Douche for an amazing AOSP that i never really fully appreciated until I regressed and 2. sincerely invite all of you Sense users to give Cyanogen a try. Again, I am no Android fan boy, just a guy who stumbled into XDA, thought this Rooting thing sounded interesting and gave Cyanogen a try. Now I am a very satisfied user.
I know the lack of 4G is a big deal and I do miss the speed but hopefully this will be resolved soon and when it is, I think Android will take a major step forward again.
Meh, glad you found what you like. I use a rom that had 4g and I've removed sense from it. I don't lag at all. And yes, I've run CM6, installed 3 different times. It offers nothing that a 4g rom with sense removed does. Well, besides the obvious: no 4g, horrible picture gallery, worse battery on average.
To each their own.

/shrug i dont think anyone really cares im sure most flash roms like changing socks
You are probably right, no one cares but as Pao23 said "to each their own." And although XDA users are flash happy most Android users are still stock. I am just sharing an experience that might give someone some confidence in finding an option that might work better for them.
I wish I could run Cyanogen full time... But I use my phone for work email (exchange) and the aosp email client is horrible compared to the sense version. You can't even view the GAL on aosp, just a background lookup and resolve. On sense I can pull up the GAL and call a person directly through the company directory. I also love the copy paste features of sense as well. Full support for email tagging, way better calendar and meeting handling just to name a few. I guess I just expect a higher level of exchange support because of my prior WM experience and I know I am likely in the minority for big time exchange use.
Until someone figures out how to at least port the email over, or the aosp email client gets a huge makeover I'm stuck on sense.
I loved cyanogen... only reason I went back to sense is because of how much better the contact app is organized. I couldn't figure it out on aosp... but with sense I can manually sync my contacts rather than let the fb app try to get my contacts. That and other features of the sense contacts app. Wish i could figure it out
I didn't think about it, but I use my company directory through exchange quite often a well. I manage construction so am in the field generally.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The Cyanogen RC 6.1 released today is supposed to contain enhancements to the mail client but to what extent I don't know as I don't use it. I can see how that could be a big limiting factor for you guys.

I think 4G is just a total battery waster, so I never even used it when I was on a Sense ROM. In my book, if you want to know the difference between a Sense ROM and CM6.1, just take LauncherPro and hit "restart LP" in the settings. In CM6.1 it takes about a second for it to completely load up. On Sense ROMs it takes anywhere from 6-10 seconds for everything to completely load. This is just unacceptable to me.

Just did it, took a little under 2 seconds.
Not to mention sitting here at my desk at work, using my phone as wifi so the IT guys can't see what Roms/kernals I download, I'm putting out 4g wifi rather then crappy Sprint 1mb/s 3g wifi.
Install said sense rom, remove sense, done.

Nevermind, you pay for too much stuff.
As a question though, I've never found myself restarting my LP before now, why do you do it often enough to actually influence your Rom choice?

Yeah, I really miss setting timescape as my main home screen. It was possible with 1.6.. and it worked really well. For some reason they removed this in 2.1. Is there any way to add this back?
Just wait for the UI update on Q1 we should see some interesting stuff.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
Well, you are the first person that I meet for loving the timescape. For me, it just a simply disaster for the CPU and the RAM, may be it'll better with Tegra II + DDR II ram+native SSD but not with the old snapdragon+SD card.

I kove Timescape and Mediascape too. I guess this is why we bought X10, right?
If not we would have gotten a Nexus One.
I hope SE reads this! I don't want them getting the wrong idea of there timescape being a "disaster". In my opinion it's a wonderful asset, especially when you can set it as your home interface.

Yeah i like Mediascape and Timescape too, and with the new 2.0.2 Firmware its alot faster and really enjoyable.
i have problem with updating timescape.
i live in iran and facebook an towtter and... are filter for u.so we have to open them by V..P..N,but still it just update for the first time that i register fo account but not any more,so i have to delet privious one and register again.
can any one help me out?
Personally I removed mediascape. I use Spotify as a source of music and as it doesn't intergrate into mediascape, I don't see the point. I do love the UI though. SE may take forever and a day to release an update but they do a damm good job on the UI when they do.
All I would like to see is the removal of the blue theme. I prefer black.

You can change the theme, black doesn't come as standard however, do you like pink?
My hope is they add more functionality to timescape on this update, I loved it as a concept but functionality was zero compared to other applications.

but timescape is like the worst crap ive ever seen ...
Fwiw Timescape just surprised me. I don't generally use it and use the fb app. But I just noticed that it ignores the posts from blogs and corporate posting. I like that function.

So I am trying to set up video chatting for phone to PC use. I have found that Yahoo works, but it only comes out the back camera of my phone. Does anyone know of a fix for this? Or is this standard? If so, are there any other apps?
I have only ever heard of Yahoo working from phone to PC. Thanks in advance.

i have the same problem but i dont think it has anything to do with cm7.. yahoos video chat doesnt work with gingerbread. thats why i think it doesnt work right. but im not 100% sure of that but makes since. it doesnt show that it works for gingerbread if u read what devices it supports for the add on video chat thing for yahoo messenger
Google coming out with their gtalk app its a pc to phone phone to phone app. Wait for that as it will be significantly better. Yahoo won't work as it looks for the hacks in froyo to get the ffc to work they need to upgrade for gingerbread support so that that can use correct api.

So I recently flashed a new AOSP rom and to my surprise I could no longer add a facebook account under the accounts option. After doing some more research I found that Google has "switched" it off so it will no longer let you add a facebook account.

There's two types of Friendstreams. There's one on Sense roms that I like and works flawlessly without the annoying notifications. Then there's another one from the market that does have annoying messages. On aosp roms you have to use the one from the market. The notifications don't always start doing that right away but after awhile they do. It's a bug in the app itself. Stop acting like I don't know WTF I'm talking about!

Yeah when I do run sense it works great. Edited OP for AOSP roms!
Facebook contact integration hasn't worked for me properly for a long time on AOSP. But this integration works fine on Sense.
Side note: One thing I learned when I worked at Facebook is that Google HATES Facebook.
Unrelated: I also noticed that Waze isn't as good at getting a GPS lock on AOSP as it is on Sense. I think that's a bug in Waze though.
