Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.
Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.
If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.
It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

This is just what I was looking for. Awesome! Upgraded. The mobile site is just as bad guys, you have to go through hoops to get hq.

over the past 4 months there has been some awesome mod/hacks to the vibrant/android device, like android runing on the iphone, angry birds coming from the iphone, ninja fruit, the same, lag fix, gps fix, new Roms etc etc... I was wondering, Facebook App for the iphoneis is the best fb app now, how hard would it be to port this app into the android OS.
I guess this questions is more for all the Vibrant/android's developers.
i know there are two totally different OS, but i think we need a better facebook app for the android.
What do you guys think?
isn't the newest fb app pretty much the same as the iphone one? i mean it's by fb so i imagine they want consitency between platforms...
From what I have heard, the facebook app for android is **** compared to the iphone.

i use facebook touch and works great for me..
The FB app for android is missing some real common features. Like clicking on a notification takes you to the mobile site instead of the app, wtf? Can't tag photos and no Facebook chat.

you say that like it's a bad thing...
Missing the ability to chat. I am OK with the rest. No complains. I am loving it but missing that key element.
the layout pretty much looks the same as the iphone version with the exception of chat and that everything isn't incorporated in the app itself...
I also don't like the little photos at the bottom. They seem to just lag up the app.
The android fb app also doesn't have "favorite people" a feature in the apple version that lets you go straight to that particular persons fb page for ex. Your best friend or girlfriend.

no push notification, no tag photo, no chat, slow, and when you open a notification you been redirect to the browser.
so a question to the Developers here, can this be possible?
Post it.

I think the android face app sucks balls, I have it installed just to see the newests posts. Then use the FB's mobile website to look at pictures because theyload so much faster.

I've used both for iPhone and Android. The iPhones app is far superior. I use Launcher pros friends widget (awesome) for a quick look then I have to bounce around the FB app and the web to get anything done. This stinks. The iPhone app did it all. I am never going back to Apple, but they got a jump on the good apps and app writers. I have seen a steady improvement since app devs have started to realize that there are great Android Phones now to write too...

I agree, the FB app I had on my iPhone over a year ago completely destroys the current FB app for Android, its really disappointing, I hate not being able to tag people in pictures I upload from my phone and being redirected to the browser for most of the functions. Lame

You have 24 hours to get a refund if you don't want it anymore
For those who actually want to get on fb chat w/android, check out eBuddy. It's not perfect app, but it works well enough.
Doesn't change the fact that in order to do anything semi-complicated (even looking at friends of friends), it's basically impossible to do it with the fb client.

I have a unique question about this, I think anyway, and I figured if anyone knew, someone here on this site would.
If I have a geo tagged photo, how do I pull that information from the photo?
I recall hearing that there is a way to find/locate the embedded longitude and latitude in a photo, but how?

Google how to look at the exif data. There's a firefox extension, you can also run a program locally if necessary.
Why is that whenever I post an Instagram pic on Facebook, I just get a small thumbnail plus a link to my Instagram photo? This is repeatable on my brother's S3. On iOS, when I post the same on Facebook, it will show a bigger photo.
Is this an Android thing? Or Instagram has given iOS user's more priority?
Doesn't happen to me, I get the full pic.

Try uninstalling and re-installing again.... (Farcebook, and Instagram)
I believe this is due to the sharing settings you have set in instagram, Check them all and it may give you your answer
Let me know if you want anymore info and remember it costs nothing to click Thanks !
>using instagram
>any year
Same problem here ..
No full pic

The way to work around it is this.
Take a photo using the camera not using instagrams camera then click on the photo in gallery and press the share icon and select instagrams. Then resize the photo and rotate.
Select your filter if you want! Then click the top right icon (arrow) and select Facebook.
And there you go!
The way that your getting thumbnails is sending an already edited photo within instagram by pressing the 3 dots and selecting share?
Hope this helps!

I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Don't sync photos is already selected. This is new. It's not syncing my photos it's just suggesting photos from my gallery (the last 3 taken) for me to post. Very annoying. I will definitely check out the other app you put on here. I apologize I couldn't quote because the XDA app kinda sux.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)

No I didn't. I've tried alternative FB apps in the past. Haven't generally had much success but maybe I'll give it another go..

The facebook app is becoming worse and more invasive after each update, i think it's time to switch to an unofficial app for it

So it ends up looking like this. I tapped on my post, so I could quote your post. Because it always highlights the one above it. Don't say random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if I could have quoted I would've done it. Been doing this a while....

Yes that is a bug. However if you tap the time at the right hand side of each post, the corresponding post is highlighted, not the one above it.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... Sorry for being abrasive. Just been very frustrated with the XDA app lately. It used to be so much easier to use.
