Facebook opens mobile site instead of touch

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

Social Hub

Dear Galaxy S Masters,
When I click on socialhub icon, the screen only displays "+ New Message" & "Messaging". The menu function is not available. I have set up my gmail account and facebook account by go though settings - Accounts & Sync - Add account. Do I missed out something? Really need your expertise and help. Thank you very much.

I had that yesterday and when I tried it again a few hours it was all back again!
I also have a problem with social hub when I go to facebook in social hub I get a message saying
"This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 200: Opening and ending tag mismatch: head line 0 and meta
Reparse document as HTML"
Does anyone know what this means?
I also get a similar message in contacts when I click on media and choose an album to look at.
Thanks

So funny! but you are lucky you got it back. I never seen my gmail or facebook in the social hub since I set up the accounts.
Anyone out there can help????

I'm glad I'm not the only one!
It works fine from the facebook app, but not from Social Hub.
I've rebooted my I9000 several times too

@newsgroupmonkey
Do you mean the error code?
I wonder what it is, I've had the problem since I started social hub. I uninstalled my Task Killer and I'm still having problems with it.

Am I the only one not getting the point of SH?
I have exchange, facebook and gmail account synced.
In SH I see:
+ Compose new message
Messaging
Email (exchange)
Facebook
When I choose facebook, it just opens the browser to facebook.com
When I choose Email, it just goes to the exchange section in the phone.
and so on with Messaging.
So what's the point of SH? to centralize all communication options in one place or something? Because I don't see how's that more convenient.

I think Samsung is trying to do something like what the closed app SocialScope is.
All your social networks in one place. Unified inbox of sorts. Update you status with one app. Then again, that's what we have ping.fm for!
Good effort from Samsung nonetheless, provided it works Of course!

Samsung Social Media Hub missing from Sprint Tab?

Meant to post yesterday:
Anyone with a Sprint Tab notice whether or not they have this icon/app on their tab?
On the Sprint page it does state "Samsung Social Hub integrates all of the user’s social networking services, messages, personal and business email, calendars and contacts, and can display calendar information from portal calendars, such as Google Calendar, and social networking services together in one view with two-way synchronization"
i contacted Sprint Tech Support and the 1st rep tried sending the app to me, which i think was BS. Then i was put through to Level 2 Tech Support. Level 2 had me do a hard reset and planned for the Tab to take an auto update and hand me the app, which it did NOT. I was then told to go to a Sprint Store because this is a manufacture issue and they will swap out the device.
PS: Tab is 2 hours old
UPDATE:
Today i decided to contact Samsung Tech Support regarding this issue. 1st rep advised me to take my equipment back to where i purchased it for a replacement. I asked to speak to a supervisor and spoke with a "Level 2 Tech". He advised me that BOTH the Sprint and Verizon CDMA units do not have this app/feature at this time and expects a possible upgrade in the near future.
Tonight, not satisfied with the conflicting date i have received, i again contacted: a) a sprint corporate store and b) care tech support. The ditz i spoke to at the store advised me, without looking, that their demo unit did not have this application and would not let me speak to someone in tech & repairs. Called Care Tech Support again and explained the conflicts i have received the last 2 days and she proceded to contact Samsung, put me on hold and CLICK...
Still trying to find out if ANY CDMA UNITS HAVE THIS APP OR NOT...
ANYONE? ANYONE? ANYONE?

I have a tmo sgt and I have the media hub, dunno what social hub ur speaking of though

My Sprint Tab doesn't have to app/widget either.

Here's the answer you've been looking for:
No CDMA tablet have SocialHub. It's up to the carriers what apps they decide to leave/install/uninstall on their devices.

It's not on my Bell Tab either.
BTW, do any of YOU have the native Calculator application? I don't, and I miss it, since it is always on my default home screen desktop. The calcs on the market are all over-featured, though they work.

no calculator here either. weird they left that out

That it is.

Thanks, but no. If you go to the Sprint website under "Full Feature List" it states
"Samsung Social Hub
An integrated service that merges your social networking, contact, calendar and email information into a single interface. Social Hub is an easier way to connect with friends, family, and colleagues whenever you want, wherever you are. "
I do appriciate your efferts though

Yes, i have the "Media Hub" but NOT the "Social Hub"
go here to check it out:
http : / / socialhub (dot) samsungmobile (dot) com
Apparently it is an app that is carrier requested, but pre-installed. this app is NOT available through the market or any other markets for that matter and it is not a .apk file available from samsung or from sprint.

Froyo. XXJPO and Social Hub issue

1st i do apologize if this is in the wrong section and I have looked around the site and found 5 more posts on this subject but no answer but i will go ahead anyway!!
I was on Froyo 2.1 on my Galaxy S i cant say anymore than that because once i was home i updated via Kies i believe it is to Froyo 2.2 XXJPO base version I9000XXJPP, All i did was update via kies and i changed nothing else!!
in 2.1 and social hub it showed my facebook, messages and both my hotmail accounts, since updating it only shows facebook and messages, i can not for the life of me get it to show my hotmail accounts anymore, this as been for well over 24hrs now
I also have a gmail account that is my main account and my push account, should that be in social hub because it is not??
my hotmail accounts are set to never download, well manual download!! which i have done!
but it would be nice to get all of my things in social hub again!!
does anyone have any ideas to what i could do other than maybe going back to froyo 2.1 because it did work on that build!!
kind regards and have a great day!!

Hey Chris, I can't help you bud, but wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have exactly the same issue. It used to be a really useful app, but now I don't use it at all.
Not much of an 'upgrade' is it? I've seen other post in various places that they have the same problem, maybe it's a google thing, trying to push people into using gmail??

Did you try adding your Hotmail accounts via Contacts ->Activities ->Menu->Add account->Corporate account (for any thing other than Gmail).
I have them working fine on my SGS 2.2

Your accounts will appear in Social hub when you have added them using the 'Samsung Email' app. You should have three email apps, Gmail, Email and Samsung Email, only accounts added and used through the Samsung email app will appear in Social Hub.

I really appreciate the post mate, at least I know im not alone
Just bugs the hell out me that it worked, I upgraded and now nothing!
I read someone say it just started working for them a few hours after it stopped so I hope that could happen to me but still no luck as yet.
As for adding accounts via contacts, I tried that, it just takes me to accounts & sync I think it is and I added my hotmail via corporate and selected push and had all working fine but still nothing in social hub, sorry I could not quote the post above this, but sure how to quote multiple posts on this app.
should my gmail account show up social hub?

I have no idea what the samsung email app is, I was lead to believe that to get them in social hub we have to add email in the email app, little white envelope with the green @ sign which I did in 2.1 and all worked but in 2.2 I did exactly the save but but working, I have never added via samsung email and I had it working on froyo 2.1
I don't have a samsung app
Of course I can live without it, just it really bugs me that it worked but now won't and now only shows message and facebook even though I have gmail and 2 other hotmail accounts set up on my SGS
Thanks for all your replies guys.

Facebook app

well i grabbed my sister ipad today and saw that in landscape mode there is also chat
will this available for transformer sometime?

The Facebook app includes chat and if I remember correctly Facebook also made a separate app to chat that is also on the market.
This:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.orca
Sent from my Captivate

Facebook text chat is still available in the Android app; left corner- 3 lines tap those and a full page menu opens.

I personally just use imo.im and put all of my chat protocols in there. GTalk, Skype, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, and many more.
It does not do video chat with anyone via GTalk or Skype, but if someone wants to do that I just launch the native app. Then I do not have to worry about doing facebook chat from within the FB app.

Thanks! I never thought to scroll down in that menu. I usually just use that menu to search for a friend and since I'm in a few groups I never saw the chat option below.

yes ido know that but i mean in landscape mode on the news feed you get chat on your right

I believe facebook has a separate app for ipad, while we have to use the ugly phone version on our tablet

anyone knows about a solution for the chat that scrolls up on the browser on ics?
worked fine on HC
