well i grabbed my sister ipad today and saw that in landscape mode there is also chat

The Facebook app includes chat and if I remember correctly Facebook also made a separate app to chat that is also on the market.

Facebook text chat is still available in the Android app; left corner- 3 lines tap those and a full page menu opens.
I personally just use imo.im and put all of my chat protocols in there. GTalk, Skype, Yahoo, MSN, Facebook, and many more.
It does not do video chat with anyone via GTalk or Skype, but if someone wants to do that I just launch the native app. Then I do not have to worry about doing facebook chat from within the FB app.

Thanks! I never thought to scroll down in that menu. I usually just use that menu to search for a friend and since I'm in a few groups I never saw the chat option below.

yes ido know that but i mean in landscape mode on the news feed you get chat on your right
I believe facebook has a separate app for ipad, while we have to use the ugly phone version on our tablet
anyone knows about a solution for the chat that scrolls up on the browser on ics?
worked fine on HC

My fone bookmarks wont access my facebook profile anymore. Any address starting with www.facebook.com Keeps clicking over to
x.facebook.com or something and saying Page can't be found, showing underlined text that I think should be links but aren't to the mobile and standard site...
Do I have a virus or something?
will the page load at all? because x.facebook.com is the android optimized page. if it loads, log in, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. where there is 2 small links that you can click,
1 is the facebook mobile format
2 is the real standard facebook.
Ah. Weird that it never did that before. Have had a G1 since last year and a magic for about 6 wks and not done that before, I've always been able to browse the full site.
When I get the page, I can see log in, Standard and mobile underlined but nothing o the page works...
Hate Facebook apps as they never let me do what i want/need to do.
This facebook app looks like a winner, not sure if it is available yet though:

I have been having the same issue.
It only happens on profile pages, the rest of Facebook works fine. Same issue on G1 using JF 1.51 and Dude's cupcake. Now using MyTouch 3G same results.
I guess its a Facebook issue rather than an Android one.
I normally use the full site option for Facebook since I hate that iphone wrapper or any of the mobile sires (wish I could permanenty disable the loading of mobile versions of sites) but since us facebook issue started the full site link is disabled on profiles.
I had this issue on my myTouch as well but when I get an email from facebook saying someone has commented on a post I made or something similar and I click it I get sent to the ugly mobile site and it just loads the live feed not the actual post. I just wanted to know if there was any fix for this or if it could load the touch site instead (or even better the app) so I don't have to wait to go to my desktop or look though posts in the app since the notifications don't work on the Nexus One yet.
Yeah mine does it sporadically. I haven't used it for a couple of days but maybe it has to be in the current processes list/ list of current applications for it to recognise it, else it opens the browser. Just a suggestion.
The whole notification thing really irritates me. You'd think since it comes with the phone, they would at least check that it works ¬¬
Well the web address sent to you in your email is from facebook.com and it is a http link to the full web site, facebook doesn't know that you're viewing this from your phone. gmail/email on the phone is going to treat these links the same, there's nothing built into the formatting or platform to make these 'special'.
I would recommend you disable email notifications on facebook, and configure notifications within the facebook app. This should get you the behavior you desire.
Ok so since i've fixed my facebook notification issue I actually hate the facebook app. Seriously, what app shows a notification which you have to open via an external link? I thought that was the point of the app? The facebook mobile website is atrocious, and i'd actually prefer to open it in web view rather than mobile view, since that's the point of a smartphone.
I hate to bring it up but even the iPhone did a better job. Almost everything could be done through the app. Almost.
that aint the phones fault its the app developers lol

To anyone having some problems, the best workaround I can find is using Dolphin Browser and changing the User Agent to iPhone. This will automatically pull up touch.facebook.com
Is there any way to change the default facebook app/url. In People, if i select someone and tap one of their updates in the "updates and events" section it will jump to m.facebook.com to show me more detail.
Can i change it so that instead it goes to the android facebook app or to touch.facebook.com which i think is a much nicer mobile version of facebook.
Thanks
I wonder if it has anything to do with application defaults...wether or not the android facebook app has that type of OS integration. It obv does when wanting to post a picture from your photo gallery, but since people is an HTC specific app IDK if there is a way around this.
However, I would love to be told different as its annoying to keep on having to launch browser when there is a perfectly good facebook app laying around on the phone.
Precisely. Especially because the facebook application doesnt display event details or request and then navigates you to the horrible mobile facebook when touch.facebook.com can handle it all perfectly and look pretty decent too.
Does anyone else find it a little strange that on a google phone that the standard email app allows you to pinch and zoom in emails, but the gmail app (or the mobile site for that matter) don't?! If I get an email with a large embedded image there seems to be no way to do this.
On a separate note, why has the third swype page with the cursor arrows gone? That was really useful when you're trying to navigate through text?

I agree they never allow gmail application to zoom i don't understand why !
the built in email app is just a stripped down version of k9mail which has more features.. recommend you try it.
May I add that it's frustrating that you cannot copy/paste text from the Gmail app?
It seems to me that some of the stock Google applications like the browser and gmail are left very vanilla - maybe, in the belief that 3rd party apps will fill the gap - maybe, that will be some of what they will be working on for Gingerbread (since they are claiming it will have a focus on user experience).

Just quick question
Does the K9 Mail app allow for multiple Signatures for the different emails.
Currently the Samsung Email only allows one signature for all accounts which is a step back from my Blackberry.
This multiple-app thing is exactly why the iPhone does so well...
It's not a positive when you've got two programs that do the same thing out of the box.
I realize Google doesn't have much control over this, and even if they improved their stuff that Samsung/ATT/etc would probably put all their crap on it regardless. I'm just saying there's an advantage to the iPhone found here.
Is there anyway to stop chat auto signing in, I find it a pain when I go to check Facebook but don't want to chat. People start chatting or send me messages when I am to busy to chat.

I went back to 1.4.0 because of this.

You'll still be online at the PC, PC and Facebook app work independent from one another so to say

Wrong
Try to chat on android and open facebook on your PC. Pop up window will come out and chat will be shown on both devices

THANK YOU,will try this. Hopefully it works
I find it easier to use friendstream. I rarely use the fb app so that removes the chat problem

go to settings, apps, then clear data and cache from facebook app, then download the latest facebook from market, sign in (HERE IS IMPORTANT NEVER CLICK ON THE CHAT TAB) then go to market, download facebook messenger (the official one) and log in the facebook messenger.. thats it...
when you want to be offline, just log out from the facebook messenger app with one click, and if you want to chat just log in in the facebook messenger app with just one tap, also facebook messenger app its better because you can have group chats, and send photos through it
hope this helps you
or just delete the app and use the new HTML5 mobile web interface which is great (it's like the iphone app).
Also do not forget to close all the fb session from the desktop web interface.

Yup, this is what I do, the HTML5 page is actually better than the app in most cases!

Same here! It's a lot better and quicker I find.
Also, I found that when I did use the App to chat it closed the the window on the PC. Don't know whether this is a new feature.
If they just updated it to make it like the HTML5 page it would be a lot better.
