Has anybody noticed that Friendcaster does not stay as updated as Facebook on a browser? Some post are listed on Friendcaster and others are not. I've also experienced multiple reboots while using Facebook within Chrome.
Thoughts?
Heavy Android User, but have been using our iPad 3 and hate to has this but itching towards getting another. The one I had been using is for the wife and the little one.
I realize it may take time for apps to be fully defaulted for the Nexus 10 and that is why I may just need to be patient.
Thanks.
I believe this is due to permissions that people can set on Facebook that prevent third party apps from seeing their status updates.

Trying to figure out which one you guys feel is the best for our tf101. What do you think?

I use friendcaster. It might not be perfect but this is much better than the official Facebook application. The official is very slow and is pretty useless in low network connectivity condition.

Since all of the browsers and apps are terribly glitchy for me, the best solution is using Splashtop HD to remote desktop my computer and view from there... Rather roundabout but it's fast and Doesn't Glitch!
I think there are three real tablet Facebook apps:
FaceDroid (paid app)
Friend Me
Friendcaster.
I'd say Friendcaster is the best one, gives you a very nice Facebook experience with all needed features and a nice UI, plus good widgets.
Definitely not the Facebook app! Too clunky

I like facedroid,but I think that fbm is better . But with facedroid if you have a problem or find a bug and report it to the developer, he will E-mail you back within a couple of hours on how to fix your problem or within a week or so you will see an update that fixes that bug.So the great support is worth the money alone.But it does show those pesky game updates in the feed like anyone needs to see that jeff married his cousin on farm ville.Without the games in the feed it would be the best fb app in my opinion.

hmmm interesting. What is fbm btw? Anyone else give a +1 to facedroid? Gideo how is the UI compared to friendcaster?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using xda premium
I've never tried friendcaster,but the UI is pretty clean,and fbm has a nearly identical look to the official fb app with the ability to upload pics and post YouTube links and has notification,but it does not crash,and when you open it it just works....best part is when you turn it off it is off and does not use 30 to 50mb of ram all the time like official fb app.

Use the default facebook app or facebook website if you want to see all your friend's posts.
Use third-party apps if you don't mind missing posts, but like the customization.
Remember, third party apps can be blocked by your friends so they not only see your posts, but you don't see theirs either.
Unfortunately, the stock Facebook app is a memory hog, but it works.

Not only is it a memory hog but it kills sleep eating up your battery. So get your friends to allow 3rd party apps to see their posts.

I've been looking for one too that works 100%, I love the look of Friendcaster Pro and have been using it for 6+ months but it screws up a lot and either doesn't post my comments/status updates or when I try and load something it will be like "Friendcaster received an invalid response from Facebook". The notification Window annoys me on the official app because it's so tiny and only shows about three or four things, not to mention I still can't figure out how to share things from it. Is it even possible to do so?
I'll give Facedroid a try and see how it is.

Friendcaster is good.
Using Firefox beta (v14) with agent set as Desktop/ipad is also good enough. (Desktop-like interface)
I could have sworn that the N10 I smoked had the standard Android stock browser... The one I have now doesn't seem to have that one, but it does have chrome. When I set this up I pulled in my apps from Google backup which was set up by my gnex and that had both installed. I'm not complaining, I like chrome fine... I'm just wondering.
Update: never mind... As usual, with such questions, I stumbled across the answer 5 minutes after I posted. Sorry for the noise.

Just bought this app yesterday after hearing good things and after the stock Twitter app was letting my GPS go haywire. Enjoying it mostly but I've been getting this error when actively using Twitter and refreshing the timeline feed. This has never been a problem for me on the stock Twitter app. How can I fix this?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
This is known as twitter jail... You refreshed too much within an hour or day in one third party app and have to wait.

Wow well this sucks. I'm an avid Twitter user and this stops me in my tracks. Does this developer offer refunds?

A couple months ago I went from a Galaxy to a Nexus 4, this phone is the master race! Everything's been perfect, I have experienced the problems but for me its just fun to flash zips,and try different things to fix bugs, unique features etc. So as the title states, I don't get twitter notifications. I had a problem with receiving push notifications a couple weeks back but I fixed it! I currently get all notifications from instagram, snap chat, path, Facebook, BUT I don't get notifications from twitter like when someone interacts with me,per say a mention or a favorite. Is this a bug in 4.3? Is there a workaround?

Same problem on 4.2.2. Been having this issue for months now. Every time I update the notification settings it just says "problem updating settings".. Tried uninstalling, reinstalling. Anyone know how to fix?

Sorry for bumping this, but it has been bugging me for a couple of months now too. Hope someone sees it and perhaps comes up with a solution.
So is anyone else experiencing issues with the fb app on their LG V20..?
Mainly my issue is related to stuff like. Images not loading.
Sometimes have to force close it and then open it back up in order for anything to load.
And my personal best, I can't even access the fb app menu screen where you can adjust your notifications and such.
That's all. Juat wondering if I'm alone on this or anyone else notice these things too.

Are you on a beta version of FB? I was having those issues with the beta versions and I couldn't take it anymore and left the beta test group and back to standard versions and it's smooth and no issues
mine works fine no issues at all

Go to play store, go to my apps, there will be 4 options - Subscriptions, Installed, All and Beta
If you're in beta it will be listed there. More than likely you're not since you actually have to request it.

In the Note 4 forums there was a lot of talk about the FB app and many people recommended Metal as a replacement since FB is problematic, requires an additional app for messaging, and a huge battery drain. I don't use FB but my GF loves Metal.
I'm just disappointed that we can't fully yank all traces of FB off of the carrier phones.
Maybe because the FB app isn't really ready for the newest Android version?
it could be the reason.

Been running FB on my Nexus 6p with Android 7 for weeks now......no problems. I'm switching to the V20 tomorrow, I'll see how it performs.

Gonna try out Metal and see how it is. FB is definitely a very power hungry app
Well, I Uninstalled it and installed it like 3 different times and finally it seems to be working better. Oh and now there's an update for the fb app. We'll see what that screws up now or Fixes lol.
