Facebook applications - Hero, G2 Touch General

I am just wondering what application you all use for Facebook as the official one seems to be the cause of my lack of battery life. I use tweetdeck but it doesn't notify me of everything on Facebook

Get bloo from here. The one on the market is outdated. This one is a leaked beta which works just fine and includes chat as well
Edit: Yes, you can view the notifications in the app.

The interface is also very slick imho

Facebook notifications problem

For a few days now every time i try to do a refresh on the notifications page in the facebook app. I get an error, something about a parse error.
I don't know why, since i haven't done anything different or added any new apps.
Any help?
Thanks

I have the same problem too. May be the problem is at Facebook server.
Same here, it fails to update since a few days back. This has happened before and that time it was due to changes of how FB works, not related to SE or android failure. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Facebook is fine here, connecting through the official (crappy) app.

:-(... read something on a swedish news app that Facebook has had some problems these last days, and that the fb team had not found the source of it yet. Hopefully all shall be able to update soon.

Perhaps they should remove the horrible Facebook app that's on the market and release one that actually works. Take a page from iPhone app.

Can you give a description of what's "horrible" about the app?
Aside from built in Chat and Places support, it's pretty close to the iPhone version in terms of features, and it works perfectly fine.
The facebook app on iPhone is better.

Same here, got the newer one from the market and it works great.
My friend was whining about his FB app too and I asked him if he updated it.
*He replied "but I have the latest version".
*I asked "did you manually DL the one from teh market and replace teh one on your phone?"
*He said "um, no... it did not say it needed an update so I never changed it"
*I explained the pre installed app bug and showed him the difference in the two apps. Problem solved!
oh okay good to know. Cuz I have the facebook app that came on the phone. I assumed (never ASS-u-me) it would be the same one in the market.
so i downloaded the new facebook app, and it looks very similar to the iPhone one, which is good. So I tried logging in and I keep getting a "login in error". And I checked the e-mail address and password 3 times.
Never mind it works now. Sorry.

Wrong Facebook times

Heya, for some reason my galaxy adds 2 hours to the events from Facebook. Is this something I can fix on my own, or report to Facebook or Samsung?

Hi all,
I also faced the same issues but no problem when reached the normal web site. I don't know what its belongs to, i just send a bug report to fb dev team and hope they can have a look. Is someone here not using SGS but Froyo installed device and have a try?

Facebook, Yahoo Messenger and Skype suck balls compared to the iphone/ipod versions
sad but, its just better to use touch.facebook.com this time, other than uploading pics/vids

I get facebook notifications, but when I select them, the app does not launch :/. Haven't reinstalled since I'm not that bothered TBF
Has facebook notifications every worked consistently on any phone? Perhaps uninstall the app and reinstall
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Not to be off topic or anything but I always disable the Facebook notifications and use Gmail instead. Its way better and you get notified every time...no problems.

I like the gmail idea, but I don't want loads of extra stuff in that particular account. Is there another workaround?

Favorite twitter app

Somebody posed this question around 6 months ago and I am curious what most people like these days. I know some changes have been made to some of the apps out there. some for the better, some for the worse. I personally am partial to Tweetdeck. I find it user friendly and also like how I can exceed 160 characters.
anyone else?
I enjoy Twitter for Android, but I have used Twicca and it is quite nice.

I use Plume. The ads on the free version don't really get in the way. I've tried them all, keep coming back to Plume!
Twitter seems to be slowly kicking out the third party apps that coincidentally help make them famous on Android. I went from Twidroid to Plume and finally just made the move to the official Twitter app.

I did the same thing. The official twitter app is actually quite nice! Twidroyd is garbage now. But plume is still an excellent app.
