I have a real issue with the new facebook, since they introduced chat to the FB app it stays open even when you use the back button, im not using home because I know that doesnt close the app. I try to avoid even pressing the app until it is fixed.
No Facebook drain here closes fine

Do you leave chat on? I have no problems either.
When you're at the main chat screen:
Hit Menu -> Go Offline.
That will sign you out of chat and not drain your battery.
now try to disable the notifications lol
The built-in chat sucks anyway.
Use go! chat, much better and no battery loss for keeping yourself logged in.

I never *****ed about chat in the app.
I would rather have a dedicated app for it.
My only complaint was that we never had push notifications.
And still don't.

we most certainly do now....and it works so well I had to downgrade to the last version of the app in order to turn them off....
I've never, ever received a push notification for anything besides a facebook message [which I received prior to this update] and neither have two of my friends with the G1 and G2.
So please, enlighten me on what we are doing wrong.
I actually just found the go offline button right after I posted this thread.lol

I had problems with the new Facebook app draining my battery. I un-installed then reinstalled Facebook from the market, and my battery draining issues were gone.

do you have the notifications enabled within the facebook app?
It's probably just a ****ty app problem. Some people can't get push notifications at all and others can't get them to stop no matter what haha. Sounds like a well written program lol

Yeah, who knows. It's facebook.
The thing that will always make me laugh is how everyone moved to Facebook, which is buggy as hell especially the chat function, from Myspace AFTER Myspace solved all of the technical issues they had.
am I the only one?
When I open chat and I click "Go Offline" the app... doesn't. it'll close to the main menu but people can still message me from facebook and I get the notification at the top that says I have a new message... This open chat must be killing my battery. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program to no avail. Any ideas?

Facebook's engineers squash MySpace's then and now. MySpace just didn't have as many features as Facebook.
I use the Facebook app signed into chat and my battery lasted a day and a half yesterday. Probably would have lasted two days if I was in a place with good signal.

For some time now, when I'm viewing the Facebook Touch site in the stock browser, at the bottom of the page is the line
"Download Facebook for your Ruth"
I think it started when I first flashed CyanogenMod, but I can't confirm that.
Googling 'android ruth' turns up rumors of a device named Ruth from Motorola, but I've never seen one, personally.
So, anybody know why Facebook is confused about what device I'm using?
I mean, my user agent specifically says 'Nexus One'
My stock N1 does the same thing! I've never rooted it or flashed another rom or anything, and it still thinks my N1 is a Ruth.

Facebook thinks mine is a Hero. Then again I only noticed that initially, not sure what it says now.
Mine says "Download Facebook for your Nexus One"
Running EPF21B - insecure, but otherwise stock.

Anybody else have an opinion on the best facebook app? I hear stock is pretty good but I'm just curious to what you guys think. I'm guessing there is as many facebook apps as there are twitter apps, so thats why i'm so curious. Peace

Haven't come across one. there was a decent one out before we've got an official Facebook app, but I haven't seen any updates in awhile. stock one is okay, I use it just to read status updates and update my contacts. I use the touch site to see new notifications and browse through pictures, its way faster at loading pics than stock and notifications are easier to access. Facebook app takes you to Facebook mobile site when you click on any notification, pretty gay. while it is getting better, not as cool as iPhone Facebook app lol.

I know this is gonna sound ridiculous but I get poked ALL THE TIME by girls I see at bars, clubs or friends of friends who are too intimidated to add me as a friend.

You guys don't know the secret behind poking, huh? I used to do some facebook hacking before they cracked down on it. The thing is, when you poke someone, you have acess to a temporary page that displays information that would usually be private, including features. It's a stalker feature in fb for sure, but try it out. It's a great thing to do when you don't want to send a friend request but still want to stalk the person..\

oh snap.. really?. that's pretty awesome. lol
and I'm happy to report that... FINALLY!.. I don't have partial wake lock with this update.. jesus, took them long enough.
.1 didn't work for me, even after uninstalling facebook and completely reinstalling. .2 fixed it, but only after a full install again.
This new update broke notifications (takes you to the website, again), which had been fixed in the last update.
How to you completely uninstall the Facebook application. I only have the option to "uninstall updates", I can't uninstall the app (not from the market front, or the Applications -> Manage -> Facebook). I am not rooted and have never seen this before. And yes, I am not trying to remove the Facebook for HTC Sense, I am trying to remove the katana one. 1.3.2 is still in my running services even though I have all notifications turned off and refresh turned off. 1.2 never showed up in the running services location.
ohhhhh the new update broke notifications? so how do i get the new update and which facebook is this, htc sense or regular
So they update the app so the last 6 people with 1.5 can install the app, and it breaks notifications for all of us.

Is anyone still having issues with the awake time bug. 1.3.2 is causing my phone to stay awake
My notifications, even on the last update, have always always always taken me to the website.
I had been running the last version without the partial wake bug (1.2.9? 1.3.0? I forget) and upgraded to this today. Immediately went back to constant partial wake time. I just uninstalled the entire app for now but are you saying that a complete uninstall then reinstall of the new version will get rid of this issue? I don't really care too much because the regular site works just fine. I just figure I will use the application if it's not raping my battery in exchange for saving me 2 seconds of opening a bookmark.

if were talking about the htc sense one, then how do i update it? or find the version im on?
1.3.2 is keeping my phone awake non-stop, again, even after a reinstall. Now it's giving me a 500 server error, too.
When I first got my Evo, the notifications worked. Now they don't. I came from a bb and when I heard the facebook app got reworked it made it a little easier to make the switch. Now I am not a facebook crazy teenager, I am in the military and I use it to talk to friends over seas. Sometimes the notifications can mean if I get to talk to a good friend or not . Is this a facebook issue or an Evo thing. What's weird is that my wife has an Evo too and it works for her phone. But I seem to read that it conflicts with sense. Is this a myth, or is there some fact behind this. As I am typing this I am running CM7, if that makes a difference.

Facebook notifications = epic fail... sometimes they work... most of the time they don't. Blame facebook..
Facebook = Epic Fail
Facebook for android in itself is worthless. The notifications work every now and then but they still havent added real notifications for things like comments and likes.
They've never worked for me, but I have facebook setup to send me email for the notifications I want... and my Evo gets those emails instantly. Seems like a good solution.. works great for me, anyway.
What he said^ f#%* the notification, just wait for the email. :/

If you really need notifications, I suggest using Flow from the market.

Thx guys. I appreciate the replies. There is always the chance a post like this turns into instant flaming, but I am glad that didn't happen. Thx for the insight. I just wanted to make sure that there want something I couldn't do as far as the setup side of the app that I was perhaps missing. Thx again.

U can also have the notifications sent to u as text. Works the same for me.
I used to use a beta of bloo when I had the Moment. But that was hit or miss as well. But at that time it was way better than the facebook app that was available.

Flow is way better IMO especially since you can set it up now for push notifications.
Going to check out Flow. I wonder why Facebook just doesn't utilize this as notifications without getting Gmail notifications all the time.
Check out my black social apps. The notifications work at times but at least the colors and icons look good
Ok...I am looking at how to set this up, and unless I am reading this wrong, isn't my inbox going to get flooded with facebook emails? Right now I have them archived, and for that specific reason.

ud get the same thing if u were getting notifications from the facebook app itself just not in email or by text. plus u can choose what u want to get. i only get when someone writes on my wall, sends a message, comments on a photo, or comments on a status i put out there and i use facebook alot and dont get a ton of texts. alot of the time it stays in the same thread for my text
This is partially true. For Flow to work the email has to be sent to the inbox. For the facebook app, I can have them archived and still get the notification.

So I was all excited about it, the new Hangout and today I installed it. Now let me get this straight, the SMS feature, that will just replace my native messaging app and I will be sending SMS via Hangout instead of my native app, and it will be sent normally via my carrier. I mean why on earth would one use this feature? What am I missing here? What's the point?

Hmmm.. because it makes things 100 times easier. You can text from your phone, get home or at work and continue right from your computer.
It was googles answer to Imessage for the Gphone.
Also has video calling RIGHT from the app, no need to switch and hope the other person has something installed

I've gone back and forth, Hangouts sometimes takes a while to launch which annoys me since I drive all day for work and like to respond to texts at stoplights. I've just enabled ART so maybe I will see better performance.
As for texting on my other devices I've been using Mighty Text on PC, Nexus 7 and phone for a while. It is ok but reading a text on PC or Tablet does not clear it from the phone, I never tried Hangouts on the other ones.

OK we were at cross purposes, I thought you meant are we using Hangouts as our SMS app. Is it the best? Down to personal choice. I mostly use Facebook since that's what most of my family are on. I have some people on Hangouts but the main person I speak to on Hangouts I have spoken to for years, originally on MSN and then gTalk so now Hangouts.
Er... no. I find EvolveSMS much better, completely uninstalled hangouts from phone. ..
I tried using Hangout. I did enjoy it, however, am using new app and am much enjoying it.
