Guys i am hoping the wonderful devs/mods/members of xda can help me.
i have created a group on facebook to try and get the site to listen to our pleas.
The android OS is now number 2 in market share behind Symbian and yet we have possibly the most appalling app ever.
you cant use the new Places feature, you cant chat, you cant even tag photos! (something you have been able to do since facebook started)
this to me just doesnt seem right. we deserve a decent app. i know that a lot of the devs on here could make a better app but why should they? the Fruit based phone that shall not be named has had a good app from the beggining and has the new Places added to it straight away.
so i am asking that anyone from the site who loves facebook and android and wants to see them paired correctly please come and join us at:
http://bit.ly/andface
Update: as of the 3rd of november the facebook app has been updated to include the places and groups. great. but it has still not focused on the basics.
Update: as of the 14th december they have added chat!! WHOO HOO!!! and push notification for chat. this is fantastic. a real step in the right direction. however i would like to see the choice of push for other things like comments and tags. Oh and still NO PHOTO TAGGING!!!
Photo tagging has been a part of facebook almost from the beggining. It is the feature that everyone uses and its exclusion from the android app is the most appalling oversight. if you take a picture of your friends when you are out and then upload it to facebook you want to be able to tag them in it. whats the point otherwise?

i too have joined this page. thanks for your help.
stericson (the man involved in the latitude stress test and many apps as RT this on twitter for me as well.
joined and voted as well on both areas.
Personally I stopped using any of the facebook apps since they seem so poor in function. Been using Bloo 1.5 since its release. Hopefully facebook and the great team of devs here can come up with something more positive in functionality.
Joined also ...good luck ...I hope it does get better
Shameless BUMP!
IMHO ... this entire app should be rethought ...
It appeared they were going for the same interface the "official twitter" app uses ... but it's a #fail implementation.
I vote for complete redesign ... that's just me though.
Joined, I would like it if I click on a notification it opens in the app not the damn web page.

I think this is the biggest complaint. It should be a self contained app. The next big problem is chat our lack there of, and picture tagging our lack there of.

Ok guys, its nearly the week end! Party time right?! Im starting up a little contest here today, what im asking you guys to do is create a cool picture which the winner will have their design used as the groups profile picture. Pretty neat huh? The only requirements is that the picture contains the text 'XDA Xperia Global' and not be pornography or anything ridiculus like that. Upload your entries to http://gs117.photobucket.com/groups/o42/R6HCUR32WU /?first=1 no limits of entries per person and anyone can enter. Good luck guys ;-)

XDA Xperia Users Global Chat and Fun
Please note it may take several hour to accept your request / over night because if different timezones but you shall be accepted at the soonest time possible

I have made a G+ Account called "XDA Circle". If we can get all XDA members to search and add that account to a circle. It would more or less create a global group. I'm thinking it would be an easy way to keep our own XDA circles up-to-date. Simply search for the "XDA Circle" profile, dbl-click into it to view who has circled the "XDA Circle" account. Then you can easily find XDA Members that you have not added yet.
I have no plans to use or make posts from that profile. In theory, it should grow on its own as more XDA members get online with Google+.

So true! Also notice how the majority of those asking here on XDA are newly registered and have very few posts. Seems a little suspicious to me.
That said: I will send invites, but only if you have been an XDA member for at least 1 month or have over 100 constructive posts. My invites will go to the real community, not these "n00bs" just trying to get a free ride.
I would love an invite but can't face the idea of begging for one on the forum...
Yes, I feel as sullied as I expected to.
Pretty please.
As soon as i get an invite
I will as soon as I get an invite.

Hey OP, have any clue how the privacy settings work on google+? I have a crazy ex stalker g/f and need most my stuff other than profile pic and name private : /
Oh I should also say that google+ is freaking awesome and IMO way better than facebook! I am just trying to figure it all out right now...
How will this work? Will I see the posts that user x makes to the circle or just one guy?

There is a place to block users. I have blocked anyone yet, but surely it is possible.

Basically, the way it works is you create a circle like XDA. Then you find and add people to your XDA circle. Once added, you will see their posts as well as all the other people in that circle. Then you have the option to view the posts of everybody you have in all circles, or you can select single circle at a time to filter out the rest.
I would love an invite as well...been on xda awhile...dont post much mostly just reading lol....dont wanna throw my mixed knowledge in and confuse people lol

Hey guys
For those of you who have been lucky enough to get onto Google +, I made this thread so we can post our G+ pages, but please make a circle specifically called XDA X10, just so we can keep it all forum related and eventually when we have enough people on it, maybe start having weekly "Hangouts" on there and also for those with the app installed using "Huddle". Also i'm offering invites to people who PM me for one (include your name and email) and just post on here that you have sent one and i will get back to you asap
Heres my G+ page for you all to add - www.gplus.to/EffectXColin

BTW would appreciate if we can find a method to inform each other that this request is in regards with XDA X10. just want to keep my circles tidy.
Yeah that's good as well I think you can make more circles and change the name of it so that could be like a requirement before adding anyone?
