Hi,
I found that there is a new version of Facebook ... version 1.2 (Market).
http://phandroid.com/2010/04/23/facebook-app-updates-adds-inbox-support/
And on my HTC Desire, the version is 112.
Anyone has updated this?
There are 2 facebook apps on my Desire:
- facebook (version 112)
- Facebook for HTC Sense (version 1)
How do you update?
Thanks
i only did the usual way to upgrade,
market -> download, and click on the application, and update.
Any feedback about the version? I see quite a few complaints about force closes on other handsets, how is it in the Desire?
Works just fine on the Desire. My biggest problem is you can't view your messages you have to manually go to the mobile site...oh wait what's this update...messaging feature finally! Now they need to add chat.
yep just updated today.. finally INBOX , otherwise not really seen anything different.
They need to get up to date with this android Facebook app. I did the update today hoping for the notifications to finally work properly, as in notifying me if someone comments on one of my posts! but alas, still no cigar, infact it never seems to notify me of anything. Is it just me?

I get updates but only if I add people with facebook to my Friends Widget..... then it adds a green circle with the number of updates by a friend.
the main app works fine, but the widget doesn't. fails to load each time.
edit: confirm that a reboot does indeed fix the problem.
A reboot of the Desire solved the issue with the widget for me
I've started using Bloo again lately. Much better notifications system, slicker and more comprehensive UI (has its own photo viewer with save option rather than just linking to the mobile site for example) AND there's an update coming this week that adds Facebook Chat.
Bloo doesn't let me log in i get stuck in a login cycle.
There is also multitouch when you view images.
Have you given the App permissions? Works fine on my Desire running generic Rom. Not bothered about multitouch; the only reason the native Facebook app has it is because it opens up the browser and that's CHEATING ;-) the gallery UI is much more slick and user friendly with Bloo, besides which there's little point viewing photos en masse with either of these apps as the standard photo gallery has Facebook album integration which is pretty damn slick
they have added the inbox but still it has few bugs. It cannot show more than 30 threaded messages in a single conversation. Even when someone sends a new message in that same conversation, you can see the preview on the inbox but when you click to go on reading it loads first 30 messages.
So im still stuck with the mobile facebook to see my messages. ..
anyone know the workaround of this?
I just want an update that lets me tag photos! I don't understand why this is taking so long
The update for Bloo has been coming for a few months. However, I can send you 1.5 (w/ chat) a bit later? PM if you want.
Also, I can't see the new update. I'm already on 1.2 :s Does the new version allow contact sync like the Nexus FroYo version?
Edit: New version sounds like the version I've had for some time now :s

I am trying to sync contacts but nothing shows up?? No friends or info I need help!!
Get out more and meet more people.
If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.
Posting this in multiple threads to see if you get an answer will just get you flamed. Just an FYI.
I am to, I emailed HTC and this was their response:
Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should. Right now there is an issue going on with facebook across all mobile devices, it is not specific to you or your device, we believe it is an issue with Facebook itself and hope that it is resolved as soon as possible. I hope that answered your questions, if you have any other issues or questions please feel free to contact us. HTC Technical Support.. [websites that I couldn't post]
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

FIXED!
facebook sync is working again as of 12:30 est
I am still getting the "service currently unavailable" message. maybe it is better to just sleep on it and try tomorrow.
It syncs my pic but no others doesn't even display any contacts to chose from...

Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?
I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.
It's not the Facebook app that isn't working. It's the Facebook for Sense that doesn't work. I've tried the suggestions above already.

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
sycmypix
for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.
IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!
Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.
... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.

That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.
First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect"
ok i thought it was just me but hopefully they get this fixed cause i like being able to link my contacts
i just want to confirm this anyone...is your facebook app broken?

Not sure what you mean by broken. I have it loaded and can browse around without issue although it is clearly not designed for tablets. I have also not posted anything using the app but can verify that it does install and can browse without a problem.
Won't Sync
I cannot get Facebook to sync. Anyone else have this problem? Application seems to work otherwise.

What do you mean by sync? Like the phone, add it to Accounts and Sync in the tablet settings? It is not showing for me here as it does on my phone. I do not think that will work until we get a Honeycomb version.
EDIT: Actually it does show when trying to "add account" but does nothing.
I can't use the FB widget. It's FCs on me when I drag it over to a screen.
As for FB/Google integration... there appears to be a fight between Facebook and Google. I guess Google patched up some type of exploit that FB was using to merge/link contacts. It's fine for HTC, TouchWiz, MotoBlur... but not with a direct Google experience device.
Just search Google for more info on this. I read only a paragraph or so and got bored of the politics behind it.
If I remember correctly, facebook is now blocking google from exporting numbers/pictures status's.
This was on the news somewhere

It still works on my Samsung Captivate though.
Same as others.. Can load the app and use it however trying to add an account to sych friends, as I've done on my D1 Droid, it blinks then does nothing. After doing this I've found occasionally the actual app then crashes, even with reboot, and must be re-installed to get it back.
I'm sure a native Honeycomb version will arrive in due time.. For now I'm just using TweetDeck which works great for various accounts including: Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, etc.

Yes they did. Google wants them to use there software to sync thru.
Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?
Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?
Thank you ppl!
I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.
The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).
The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.
You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...
I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..
Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..
No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.
Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much
Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.

New standalone messenger from Facebook. It's the old 'Beluga' app, redone nicely. Caveat for me though. Galaxy S2 with KG5. It won't let me install it.
Anyone got an apk?

Nice, APK worked perfectly on my Inspire 4G!!
I'm a bit confused as to why they didn't integrate this with the main app. The main app has chat builtin too but it's a bit cumbersome to use. And god knows why it's incompatible with out phones.
Does it have group chat? And my problem with the app is that chat and messages are separate even though they are integrated in the site itself
thanks for the apk dude!
Many thanks why isn't this on the market?
My bad it is on the market, when i saw you guys requesting apk, i assumed it wasn't on market. Nice find, been looking for this for a while, the ability to send a message from my phone didn't think it was possible, i guess I never looked hard enough.
For those who dont have this install MarketEnabler and set it to US, then download it from the Market.
This one works for the Chat portion which is iffy on the official App. I dont get why they dont just integrate it like on the site though
This one is not available in india

It has Group Messaging. Which is the same but from a Messaging instead of Chat perspective. This is a Messaging not Chat app.
How the main Facebook app doesn't merge Messages/Chat is really annoying. This is how it used to be on Facebook.com, it must be at least a year ago but they've never bothered to update the app. I get Message notifications for people trying to Chat but as the app doesn't understand the merge, they never come through.
It's miles better than the Message section in the main app and properly supports Facebook Messages/Chat threading, whereby both appear in Messages.
I've turned off Message notifications in the main app. There's no point getting two notifications for each message.
p.s - Some messages are missing. I open a friend and some of the messages that appear on Facebook.com aren't there in the app.

Working for me, thanks a lot!
is just your facebook inbox with the added group message...
no chat or anything..
works when you have the massage notification and dont want to visit the mobile site all the time..
maybe they release this app because the message section on the regular facebook app is not working properly..

I imagine so but why not integrate it? The one in the main app is broke and this should replace it. It's pretty slick.
