Just updated fine for me on Myn's.
The update includes:
Groups - support for those new 'small' groups
Places
Improved notifications - view the comments without leaving the app. This is huge - it actually seems to work.
Overall, the app seems to work much faster and be snappier over 3G.
Really wish I used facebook.. So over it now, but I bet our phones do a great job with it..
cool, thanks for thanks for the update.
Yeah the app is near perfect for me and just as enjoyable to use as the iPhone app.
Places works great, just used it, actually..
Just needs push notifications and chat.. Though I simply set facebook to send notifications to my push gmail account and BeejiveIM works great with Facebook chat.
It's better but still "meh".
This, and cards, are the only place where I like Webos better. In facebook for webos...
You actually get notifications in the notification area when you have new notifications on Facebook.
Why can't we have that?
I'd also like the ability to delete posts and comments and the ability to "like" comments.
Yeah...why they can enable push notifications is beyond me. Its on the iOS, webos, and blackberry apps...android really gets left out.
I also wish they'd improve the update status menu/area. The 1.5 line thing that they have now is very hard and doesn't allow for a very long update...their mobile website is better.
Thanks for the update info!
It's an improvement for sure.

I know that. I'm saying I should be able to delete posts too.
Also, I should be able to like comments like I can on the site and delete my own comments.
Don't know why you can't via any facebook app on any platform.

Whenever receiving an error of any kind, after updating any app of any kind, you should clear any data/cache that is associated with the app.
If that doesn't work, then take the step of uninstalling and then reinstalling.
That usually fixes problems after updates.

You can delete your own posts on the app I just did it now to make sure I wasn't just imagining it. Just hold down on your post and it gives u an option to comment or like, or remove post. I found it in the last update. Don't know if its been around longer than that...

This was in the old app as well. Doesn't look like it's changed. You can only remove posts that you've done from the app, which is nice, but sucks that you can't do ones from your laptop, ect.

Actually, I just tried and you CAN remove comments ON YOUR OWN POSTS but not comments you make on others posts.
You also CANNOT like comments.
You CANNOT delete wall posts though.
I think the next added feature should be orientation options for the main app screen. For some reason you can view comments, pictures, and just about everything else in landscape, just not the main screen.
Otherwise loving that I don't have to open the browser when I want to read a comment

If you lost the ability to see the mobile pages then you need to install the latest MT addition from Cyanogen. There was an issue with the first MT add on he put out and fixed it in the second one.
I recommend going back and re applying the MT add on and you should be able to see mobile pages again.
You can also D/L Google Maps 4.0 with built in Buzz support. Just go to the market, click on the downloads tab, and the update should be waiting for you!
Anyone knows why I don't have the update promted yet? Is it US only? (I'm oversea).
Also, if I go to buzz website on my N1, I can see the interface, but if I post a Buzz.. it keep spinning a small wheel in front of it, and it never completes (nor posts my Buzz)
Any ideea?
I got the same issue. Maybe it is because our gmail hasn't been updated with Buzz yet.
update google maps in the market
Anyone else find it subliminally retarded that Google puts the Nexus one behind the Iphone on its Buzz page ?
heh yeah, I noticed that myself...
However, here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/mobile/buzz/ there is an iPhone surrounded by 2 N1's.
Go figure.
I understand google though - people with androids will probably get buzz anyway in some future update (won't be surprised if it will be come a builtin app/link like google goggles) - but the real challenge is for them to get iPhone users to use it, pushing them more towards the google cloud.

click get buzz on you phone. you will be happy too see it has a nexus one first then a iphone, followed by another N1. if that helps you a bit lol
I'm quite liking buzz. It's so easy for me to see what people in my area are saying and I can just strike up a conversation with them.
Initially I thought 'How will they get people to leave Twitter to do this' then you realise pretty much everyone is already registered (I'm following people already who have never heard of Buzz!) it's just if they choose to use it.

After a few tries I got to post a buzz both from the page in the browser, and from google maps.
But, now I can't delete the two posts...
Lots of spinning wheels. Seems unfinished.
But I like the idea. Hope it will work better in the coming days

I had those issues too - read that it might have to do with the accepting terms thing not registered properly so I wiped my Browser cache and rebooted.
Seems to still do it but then later I'll see it was posted. Also seems to do it straight after a reboot, but then become sluggish. Still glitchy I guess

Edit - Just updated maps and the Buzz Layer thing seems to work better than the one via mobile google. What will be useful I think once it takes off, is that you can pop over to a place and look for any buzz about traffic or weather problems that people might post from a location.

Thanks. Reflashing the mt addon allowed me to see mobile pages again. Buzz works fine now.
I've updated my Maps application to version 4 via Market, but I am not seeing the Buzz layer in Maps.
I wonder is it because this is being rolled out on a country by country basis?
The buzz layer is not enabled by default, you need to press the options, and then choose layers->buzz.
The easiest way to check if your gmap version is correct is to go to options->about - it should be 4.0.0 (#4046).

Thanks. My Maps is of the version you have listed. However when I go to Layers, I do not see the Buzz layer available for selection. Maybe, like Navigation, this Buzz layer will be turned on for other countries bit by bit?
Anyway I'll wait and see how it goes.

Sorry mate but thats just not possible yet. One improvement has been done on the newest ROMs (2.10): When u open up the menu in Sense-EmailTab you can know directly delete them without opening your inbox. But marking as read is still not possible. Would have appreciated this as well but no chance....
I also was looking for this. Best I found was an addition to mark all as read which took some of the pain out of loads of spam mail

Could any of you new T-mobile owners let us know if the twitter app still has the bug where it never deletes tweets.....rendering it fairly useless.
yes im interested in that too, i would like to see if there is an updated version.. its badly needed.
There is however a fix to manually delete the tweets from time to time.. i do this about 1s a month and it stays fast (dont follow a lot of ppl tho)
Yes i know about the manual delete but its a pain, im noticing slow down after only 4 or 5 days. maybe I should turn auto update off. I have actually ditched it for the time being and am using motweet which is actually very good even the free one (with adverts) however this renders another sense tab useless. Has anyone developed a cab that will allow us to remap the sence tab to a different program?
Same here, made a topic about this a few weeks ago.
Mind telling me the manual method of deleting tweets? I can't seem to find it on this forum... Also, will tweets still remain on the server or would this delete them permanently?

copy from someone else
1. turn off htc sense (I forget how. it's in settings)
2. sync your phone.
3. explore and go through these folders: temp >> twiteng.
4. delete the files in the twiteng folder.

good luck, this will not delete anything from the twitter server, only ur local tweet cache
I wonder how hard it would be for a dev to write a cab that automated the process?

and maybe let that script automatic run according to a schedule.. that'd be nice.
however i dont think someone will make the time to make this since there are few people having this issue..
Thanks jamieeeee, now I see why the workaround is such a pain. It's still doable once in a while though.
yes a shedule would be good, Although i would be happy for it to run every couple of days deleteing everything over 24 hours old.
Have started a thread in the apps forum to see if there is any interest. I cant really understand why there isnt more people having this issue, I can only presume not many win mobile users are twitter users. For me Intergrated twitter was one of the reasons i bought the HD2, was also a little dissapointed that it didnt integrate tweeters with contacts like it does with facebook. to me twitter is a much more obvious social networking platform for mobile than facebook is.
Well that attracted bugger all responces, looks like i will be sticking to motweet.

Can you send them and it posts to the site?

yeah you can send tweets without any problem (at least i can)
the mistake HTC made is not having a maximum number of tweets in the tab.. that means it keeps downloading new one's and never throws out any old one's.. you can do the math.. it gets slower and slower till its unusable
http://github.com/jubishop/Facebook-for-Adobe-AIR
Source code for Facebook client for Adobe Air
We have air for Froyo now.
Is it possible to compile into android air apk for a GOOD Facebook client?
For the love of God, please.
technically if it were developed using adobe's software tools and is sourced for AIR it shouldn't be hard to port in to an .apk i guess we shall see...
Have you actually tried Facebook for Air? It's just a news feed and status bar. No other features. It is worse than Android Facebook.
Plus, AIR apps must be optimized for mobile. This one wouldn't be too hard to optimize if you have all the code, but it isn't just BOOM throw it into Flash CS5 and BOOM export to APK.
i was really hoping for something good out of this...facebook for android is downright HORRIBLE. I don't understand why the iphone version has not been put to use on android, considering there are more android running devices than ios.
Well, from the other apps I have converted, this should be easy.. will report back soon!
-edit
not sure if this will work as is, with the popup to login and all.. but I will try

In the past few months, the facebook for android app has gotten infinitely better. It's almost on par with the iphone version now. What is it that you all feel is missing that would be remedied with this version? Just curious.

The fact that when you get a notification it takes you to the mobile site is a big issue, unless I'm missing something. That just seems like they got lazy in their design because you can view all of your updates manually. Also a lack of IM feature also kind of sucks. It's got a nice look to it, but the iphone facebook app is much better.

cant tag them either
can't get push notifications either. you have to keep refreshing your app.
if you click the "messages" tab too quickly and pick a thread you were already messaging someone in, it shows up blank and you have to restart facebook... sooo frustrating
My biggest gripes are no push notifications, no tagging, no picture commenting, no liking statuses, and no "places" functionality.

i think facebook is just doomed for android lol
The biggest gripe I have is previously on my Dream(G1 for AT&T Canada) they ported the nexus facebook app over- which is the same app with a few more features. They had the ability to Sync your pictures/updates with contacts in your phone. It worked like the official twitter app works. On our phone its just plane broken. If you uninstall-reinstall the app and go through the setup it will give you a "finish" button after signing in the first time. If you hit your back button on the touchpad you will see the contact sync. Sad thing though is its just broke. If you Go to your accounts sync in settings you will see the SNS setings up top then the Facebook down below your Gmail. If you click on it though nothing happens- on my Dream it went back into the facebook app's sync settings.
I also agree with the other points people have brought up on no comments on pics etc. The app will eventually be updated for the Galaxy but until then we just have to live with crap. I decompiled the app back in the day and wanted to modify it a little bit but never got around to actually doing it. If I was to modify the Official Android app, would this violate copyrights? Is it based under GNU licensing? I have seen "Colored" versions of the Official app in the market and wondered if they were violating terms by selling a black version of the exact same app? Anyone care to shed some light?

So youre telling me you see this: (pictures are in order according to my post on how to get there)
http://wtfokc.com/sef****/0.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/2.pnghttp://wtfokc.com/sef****/3.png
This is what happens on my Cog2.2 B7. I reinstalled fresh, get the first sign in, then I get "Finish". If you hit your back button you then get the Sync options. This function however doesnt work for me and hasnt on any of the Rom's Ive tried so far on teh captivate. I have read a lot on it and it appears to be a problem on all the Galaxy devices. If yours is working, I'd like to know how?
Only thing I can think is you have your SNS settings setup? Those are the ones in Account/Sync options at the Top -> Facebook, Myspace, Twitter. If so, they will auto sync pictures and junk for you- however it loses links very often- or did for me in previous versions of cog. I would get wall posts and pics in my contacts.. then next day I'd only get twitter, if I got any at all. Also my contacts would lose thier pictures and wouldnt let me re-add or associate them again. I would try over and over to reconnect the contacts to FB and couldnt unless I totally removed the account and reset it. This hap'd multiple time for me. It was rather craptastic syncing and aggravating..so I stopped using the built in SNS accounts all together and just use the official apps now. Only downfall is Facebook's sync doesnt work, twitter's however does.
Sense the update for Gingerbread, my HTC EVO will not link my contacts with their Facebook profile. I click link, then their Facebook profile and then Done, the wheel spins for a sec then returns to the contact screen, and it didn't link. I can do it a hundred times and it won't link.
I have done it all from rebooting, battery pull, update Facebook profile Work and Education, sign of of Facebook and log back in, stop all running Facebook apps, removed cache. Anything I can think of. Also, the **** is slower now, freaks out and will freeze when someone calls and the touch screen won't work, or while I am on the phone, have to click everything twice to get a app to open and of coarse the Netflix bull****.
Please help!!
Word on the street is linking Facebook contacts is a thing of the past. I heard that its google/HTC is going to stop at 2.3 or maybe it has already; Then again I could have read some complete BS.

I can't find the 2011 article that I read not long ago but I found an older one. They're killing linking for some reasons I didn't pay attention to as I don't use fb anyways. Couple months ago I saw it on pulse app but I don't remember which site it was.

Yeah that sucks for them, I also read that with new updates on sense, blur, etc Google is forcing them to pull the feature on future updates; so maybe that's whats going on with OP but idk.
Fixed!!
I got it going. I simply went to the contacts that wouldn't link one by one, delete all info but phone number and name, some even edit phone numbers with dashes, then save, then click "Link", select Facebook profile then save. All of them going again. Thanks guys for the URLs, got some helpful tips and ideas.
