There is currently not a Facebook app in the market. They haven't optimized it for Honeycomb yet, but you can get it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143913&highlight=kanged and that should work. The only issue I have with it, is that the friends list part force closes.

They must have recently taken it down, thanx for the link tho

i had the fb app on my tablet and one day it just disappeared...they took it down.

Use Friend Me

I use Friendcaster. Lots more options and when you say No Notifications..... it stops polling and giving you notifications. I notices a lift in battery when I uninstalled it. Friendcaster just seems nicer and smoother to me.

I previously had this app, but removed it.
Now it will no longer install. It will download, but will never proceed to install.
Anyone else having problems?

I've had that happen with the market a few times too. I normally just back out and go back in until it finally works.

There is actually a Honeycomb/Tablet edition, though in beta...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.handmark.friendstream&feature=search_result
Works well for me, and definately less crashes than the native Facebook for Android app...

I've actually gone so far as to uninstall the official Facebook on my Vibrant running CM 7. With the last update on July 18th, for some reason, even if you set it to never poll for notifications, never refresh, and not to sync, it still keeps the news feed open in the background and constantly refreshes it. I noticed huge battery drain one day when I took my phone off of the charger, barely used it all day, and later that night around 11 I had 14 percent battery warning. When I looked into the battery history, Facebook took up a whopping 81 percent of the battery drain on that particular charge.
Will stick to using the 3rd party options.

There are a lot of apps that you won't find in the market because they haven't been optimized for Honeycomb. I normally just install them on my phone, pull the apk, then transfer it to my tab. So far every app I tried worked just fine including fb and google voice.

Friendcaster for Tab seems great to me, but it loads continuously when I select the messages tab, not showing anything... if that'll be solved, and chat will be added, it will be the perfect FB app for me!
PS: anyone solved the messages issue?

Mine does that with messages too, and yes, chat is a must. At least chat works on the Facebook app though. That's about the only good thing about it. While we're on the subject of honeycomb apps and notifications not working; how hard is it for Words With Friends to get notifications to work?! Is it really that difficult? I play a word and THEN it tells me it's my turn.

This Facebook app works just fine in Honeycomb.

My Messages tab does that too, as does the Events tab. Very annoying. I really hope a new beta's released soon. I sent the dev a PM about it but haven't heard anything back yet.
Strangely enough, I've seen a walkthrough video of the app (on Android Central I think) which showed them using the Messages and Events tab both working fine.
EDIT: New beta just released fixes the Messages issue, but I still have problems with Events.

You need fo sync the contacts folder to your tab to be able to choose a new contact... The numbers frequently make a new conversations with the area code (so u have 2 contact windows open) it also can have trouble pairing... Dont get me wrong i like it.. Infact im using it now just small bugs like i said make it annoying at times

I have been using it with touchdown and the contacts have been flawless. You should let the dev know he has been pretty responsive

How can I read and reply to SMS messages from my tablet?

How can I read and reply to SMS messages from my tablet?
I saw an app in the Android Market called SyncMS.
The latest reviews said it is not working as it should.
I'd hate to purchase it and not having working properly.
Has anyone tried it, or know of another app and method that works?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk

you can use remote web desktop, and its free too.

I'd take a look at DeskSMS.

I use google voice and works great even had an updated version today.

Don't you need to be US-based to set up/make use of a Google Voice account though?

I have syncsms and it works fine but you need dropbox as well as the messages go through it. Another good one is textab. That one connects phone through bluetooth instead of using dropbox. Pretty handy.

Thanks. I've never heard of Textab. It didn't show up in apps that were related to SyncSMS either.
Which do you prefer between the two?

I think textab is flipping awesome. Ridiculously easy to set up and use. There's a trial version in the market and the full version is available for $2

I use Tablet Talk and it has worked great so far. You can sync via bluetooth or through your wifi network.

I used to use this on my PC. Didn't know they came out with a tablet version.
I like how I can see and reply to all of messages, as well as share text clipboard between my phone and tablet.

Look for texttab in market and try the free verson first. If you get it working I is great.

Textab and Tablet Talk are both nice. Tablet Talk seems to have more features. I have both up and running. Trying to decide which one I want to keep.

This app is awesome. Dev is working hard on future updates too.
I also like how it alerts me for incoming calls. That way I will know who the call is from, and will be able to get to my phone to answer it.

Syncing google calendar?

I have been able to get every google app to sync with the KF except the calendar. Has anyone had any luck? I have it working on my NT:S
I guess i should clarify...I am rooted
Sent from my Nook Tablet using Tapatalk

I had my gootle calendar sync'd along with my exchange yesterday. Only problem, I have no idea how I did it. Also, it really messed up my Gmail though. I was getting really old gmails showing up as new messages.
I ended up wiping and starting over. Now my gmail is working fine, but I cant see my google calendar!
It looks like there is hope, it's just going to take someone much smarter than me to figure it out.

I actually found a great guide on getting this up and running. Syncing with business calendar perfectly now.

You installed the calendar after you moved the files, not before? You need to install after moving it. Let me know one way or another if you have been able to fix it.

Finally fixed it!
First I updated the "GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk" from sl0ttedpig (30th November 2011, 07:35 AM):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1369781&highlight=calendar+sync
then I copied to /system/app the "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk" from this post:

Now I FINALLY have the checkbox under Sync Settings, and after checking it, the Google Calendar syncs!

Yeah, we follow the news too.
This has nothing to do with the S3, by the way.

It only took me about 45mins to delete all the crap that has accumulated over the last 3 year, but thanks Google what's 3 years ehhh...... :beer:

The issue of not remembering your place in the list was infuriating. Try looking for cm10 themes when it keeps going back to the start of the list! This is the single most important fix.

Why on jesusalabuddha's earth did it take google so song to get these new....hmmmmm.....features? And to boot....I had to sideload it manually. But so far I tested....and it rocks imo.
I had trouble installing it into /data/apps/.
I also renamed the old one first before bringing in this new one.
It wouldn't let me click the INSTALL button. (the 2nd one) So I rebooted and voila, it was there installed.
I still get the NOT CONNECTED bug at least 1 out of every 3 times I try to navigate within Google Play. RETRY button always helps.

Got it working - had to rename it because I'm running inverted gapps

I installed it a few days ago and being able to delete past "trial" apps is well worth the effort of side loading it!
