Just noticed,
The new updated Facebook app (V 1.6) is no longer compatible with the Xoom. I.e. if you don't have FB or if you've uninstallrd it, ouch!

I think they are trying to push tablets back to the unified touch website interface. The only thing that sucks with that is you can 'send to facebook' and sync contacts.
Know of any other apps that handle just that?
Friend me is a great tablet optimized facebook client. But it is still in the earlier stages of development.

Rumor has it that Facebook will release an app for tablets.
again?
they broke FB for tablets before- you'd think they'd learned not to break stuff now...
Friendme is far superior
Friend me has no functional use without ability to go to each friends stuff or find things the way you do on the web. It needs way more work.

Install it on any other device then move it via astro backup or something. I did that and it works fine.
I use Friendcaster... not the tab optimized version though because it lacks a lot of functionality. Does look pretty however.
I just installed the 1.6 update on the Xoom and it force closes when you try to search. It's defiantly not made for the Xoom. Here is the APK if anybody wants to try it.

I'm on 1.5.4 and its always fcd on me searching for people. Has never worked right. You would think they would have given HC users a fully functional version by now.

I suspect this has to do with the fact that good Android devs are hard to find; good Android devs with Honeycomb experience are nearly impossible to find.
Would anyone mind posting the last facebook version that "works"?

I did a google search for "Facebook 1.5 apk" and the first result is the following: http://www.speedyshare.com/files/25724421/facebook1.5.0.apk
edit: here is 1.5.3

Thanks for links.
expecting for a good release
Just heard about a major FB release lined up for Wednesday, 'Supposedly' a counter to Google+ and designed for the Tablet. I hope the rumor's right!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
That would be great!
I hope that rumor is true. Keep us updated if you hear any more details.
The Facebook app for the XOOM has always been crap. When Google+ goes live, I am deleting my Facebook account even if it sucks. I'm tired of it.

anyone else catch this little golden nugget in reference to hands on with the LG Revolution and see it on the video. they did not say if its a streaming app or the one from the market that only lets you manage your queue but i doubt they would release a phone with an unofficial 3rd party app pre-installed on it.

The netflix app isn't out yet. I think its going to come pre installed on that phone, and the app should be in. the market by the time the phone comes out. And that app in the market now isn't made by netflix.

Exactly. It's not the official app.
BTW the Thunderbolt RUU leaked and maybe a dev can look in the ROM file and pull the apk if it exists in that phone.

Netflix for Android App is Confirmed in Verizon LG Revolution Demo
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ymDAuyiMds
The long-rumored Netflix app for Android is confirmed in the following Verizon LG Revolution 4G demo as being pre-installed on the just-announced phone (expected in the next few months).
Due to DRM issues, the Netflix app will not be released on all phones, and Netflix has not confirmed the phones that will get the Android app yet.
via AndroidCentral. Thanks to FearNo1, Steve and Kevin for sending this in.
well if not all phones now, but soon google did buy the DRM company that netflix uses or something to that extent
lets hope for a rru leak for the LG Revolution

Most likely it won't be as good. The iPhone apps tend to be better than the Android version.
Even if the apk is in the ruu for a different phone, will it even work on the Evo?

It should. They may need to tweak it like they did the NFL verizon app.

It probably has a bunch of deep DRM stuff in the ROM. I don't think it will be as simple as inserting DB file into a system folder.
Is there a way to review market apps from the A500 version of the marketplace? Version shows as 1.0.17 but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to do it.
Anyone managed it and i'm just being an idiot or is it not possible in this version?
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure if I understand you, but if you want to check your app versions you can download aTrackdog from the market, or from your browser, go to https://market.android.com/. Hopefully this helps...
Afterthought: do you mean give a star rating and review?
Yeah I mean star rating and review the apps that I have tried. It seems like there's no option for it in the marketplace using honeycomb.

I read somewhere that it's not possible yet. I could be wrong! But the reason I even mention it is I remember it being a solid source (like a Google employee or something).
Will look it up and update here.
Thanks for the replies guys i'm glad its not just me missing something obvious.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I just read an official answer from Google to this the other day but can't seem to find the link again.
It basically said that it's not possible in Honeycomb right now, but they tell you to go to the marketplace webpage and you can do it there.
I remember upon reading that, thinking, "Really? How big is Google and they can't just get this simple thing out beforehand?"

Yeah well it's not fully compatible with Froyo either. Unfortunately the XDA app is a piece of crap and nobody seems inclined to fix it. You'll find copies of this thread in practically every tablet device forum on these boards. I had the same experience with my Viewsonic GTab running Froyo. These XDA crashes go back at least as far as last October.
Some people say if you buy the full app that it doesn't crash, but why would I spend money to buy something on faith when their "trial" app is crap?

So, if you want a specific forum app, go buy Tapatalk and forget about it.

I have the new android market in my phone it look awesome, I wish to have the same for our XOOM
Sent from my Motorola XOOM MZ604

Eh... I have it on my phone too but am perfectly fine with the market on the Xoom. Its geared towards tablets, thats fine by me.
The Honeycomb market app kinda feels like unfinished business tho. I wonder why after all these months we still can't rate or comment to apps. For tablet-only apps it means feedback ends up limited to people installig through web-based push-to-device, or taking the time to log back through a web browser to comment and rate.
Some people did manually install that new market app on their tablet, but the UI is clearly not optimized for it.

NO! It won't the only choice! This Market App is for Smartphones ONLY!!! The honeycomb Market is different and won't be replaced by this one! Google may make something similar but we will have to wait to see! BTW I wouldn't use this app on a tablet! It may be not so compatible!

Gay as in happy or just down right attractive.people from all sexual orientation do use this forum.it digs at my ability to control my temper to words disrespecting people. Just saying bad choice in word.
And yes I agree this market app is prob not mentioned for tablets. Its so awkward. Uninstalled.
sorry op
I tried it early on, and ready didn't like the look or feel of it.
I just installed to my acer iconia a500. The install worked just fine, but I will have to spend some time with the market to see if I like it better or not.
Either way, after updating to Honeycomb 3.1, my market was messing up, even after a factory reset, so it should at least be better than that.
*edit*
I just found out that I still have both markets, the old and the new, to choose from.
