Go SMS vs Facebook Messenger - For Andriod - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hey all so with all these new updates for Go SMS, Facebook Messenger, and other apps allowing for SMS/MMS/FB Messenger integration, I wanted to open up a discussion to get your opinions on which app you think is the best and why you think that.
I couldn't find any existing thread so I apologies in advance if you know of one that does exists.

[Q] Facebook contact syncing w/photo broken in Froyo?

So I did some searching and couldn't find an answer. I upgraded to froyo (nebula 1.0.7 sister release) and it's not syncing photos. I know this has been asked before in another thread, and someone responded saying it was answered w/o providing a link...but I couldn't find it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
IIRC, it will happen if you sync via the Facebook app, instead of going into Accounts and Sync in your phone settings and adding your Facebook account there. I blame TouchWiz.

FaceBook friends problem!

Hello!
I just got myself HTC HD2 and upgraded to WWE 3.14.405.2 official ROM.
I also upgraded FaceBook app to 1.1.0.26 from Marketplace.
But I don´t have all my friends listed in facebook app. I have over 500 friends, but I can`t see all of them. I go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search and there is no results come out. In the web I have this person in my friends list!
That`s also why I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the list in conctacts !
Please help me! What I have to do?
Thanks!
Renxx
dont know m8
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Anybody having same problem?
Help needed!
Don't bother with the facebook app. It's so buggy its untrue.
The facebook mobile site works much better. Open opera and surf along to :
http://m.facebook.com
Cheers

Thanks. I have done this since now.
But I like, when my contacts have pictures and birthdays from facebook.
Thats why I would like to see it working.
But as I can see, then only thing what can help is new version of facebook app.
I have read that you never know is it coming or not at all

Ok I did some looking for you, but next time please use search. Go to this thread and this thread and check this thread out. One of the Face book apps has got to suit you. Then default app sucks, but then again what do I know I don't use facebook at all.
Thank you for reply. I have searched for a weeks already for the solutions and have seen these programs too.
But the thing is, that my HD2 syncs contacts with the original Facebook app. Right now I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the friends list in my HD2 facebook app! To have their pictures and birthdays in my HD2 is why I need a working ORIGINAL app of Facebook

Sorry about that then, I meant no harm just see people complaining about the stupid default facebook app all the time, but usually non of them have even tried to find a better app.
This may be a really dumb question but have you tried logging out of your face book account in the app then logging back in? I have heard that has helped some people on these and other forums.
Yes I have tried that, no help
Also I have tried to reinstall that Facebook app again, no help
I don´t like this original Facebook app mutch, but since it is integrated to my HD2 and it has possibilities I like, then I would like it to work as it has to be !!!
Today I reinstalled 3.14 ROM to HD2, hoping it will change something, but nothing new. Nothing changed in Facebook.
Is there any fixed ROMs, that are similar to original, but working better then original?
If all you really want is pictures and birthdays in contacts, HTC Sense has built-in Facebook integration for that. Have you tried going to settings (in Sense not the start menu)-data services-click on Facebook under social networks and set that up? That's how I sync my contacts with my Facebook. Btw, for general Facebook browsing I highly recommend either the FIM app, the XDAFacebook app, or the m.facebook.com site as mentioned before.
Thanks for reply!
Yes, I have done this. From there I have from half on my friends pictures and birthdays already in my HD2 contacts. But in this list, what will open when I want to link someone with Facebook, there isnt half of my friends listed! Thats the problem! They arent listed in Facebook app too. Also I think, that the Facebook app and HD2 Social Network systems are connected to eachother. When one is not working then the other is also crap
Still no solution for my problem!!! Anyone?

i think it has something to do with your friends' privacy settings. if they have platform applications disabled, you will not see their name, photo, id, anything. i have some contacts that are not showing up either, though.
quick question: when you go to htc album, select any friend's facebook album, and browse images, do they download for you guys? i have troubles for 2 days with those now. i only have a cross.

[Q] Need some help with MS2Ginger

I have flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15651810&highlight=facebook#post15651810
following all the instructions.
The rom works fine, all in the phone is functional but, unlike other people I do like the blur social capabilities of the phone and to my surprise, other than some T.Mobile social crap there is no way to set up a Facebook or Twitter account via Motoblur.
When you set up your moto account, there is the option to set up a mail, yahoo, enterprise, gmail or T social stuff but not direct link to Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and all the other stuff my froyo firmware had.
Why is that, whas that disabled in the rom and not advertised in the post?
Please some help with this....
I think it's because of the chinese leak version. in china facebook is not allowed. just like all google-services, but they have been added to the rom manually.
maybe it's difficult to add native facebook support to the whole system?
but that is only what i think. some dev should tell us what exactly is the problem here.
Yes, I thought it could be because of the rom being chinese leak but I did add the social.zip that is on the thread and still nothing...
Weird thing is that despite the warning my accounts didn't FC at all... it's kind of strange and I'm not a dev so...

[Q] sense like messaging

Looking for an app suggestion folks, the one thing I really loved about my old htc with sense was the way it organised all my emails, text messages, Facebook updates etc and attached them to the relevant contact card. You could go into a person's contact card and see their latest status, public photo gallery, call logs and messages etc no flicking from app to app to find out did that person text me or email me or messenger me.
Any suggestions of apps to add this sort of functionality to my S4?
I'm not rooted and still under contract so wouldn't want to so no custom room's please.
Thanks
Jon
Any suggestion folks?
I've tried Contacts + which is quite nice but doesn't do Chaton or email and I've tried the various Go Contacts app's which are mostly awefull.
Really looking for something to tie in emails.

Messengers

Alright, just want to know if people still use Hangouts as their main source of instant messaging or use alternatives such as Telegram/Whatsapp.
For me I use Whatsapp on mobile device as it is the only platform it supports and for a multiplatform solution I use Hangouts as I can talk from my laptop (windows) or from my tablet to ios users as such, but overtime I come to a decision to jump to Telegram, which works with every platform I know which and is feature packed. Hangouts has been a hit and miss, it doesn't feel complete and has become sluggish to use.
Cast your votes via the poll. (if other please specify)
I use Google's new Messenger app. It's been great so far.
I don't do instant messaging. I used to, but I don't like being available. I do join hangouts from time to time but mostly from within inbox in desktop. I use messenger for sms

Lollipop's Messenger app is beautiful and does the trick with everything. Except doesn't show when the other person is typing or reads the texts like hangouts does. But yeah, I agree. Messenger is #1. I don't do IM either. Some of us are grown men lol
Guys I'm talking about instant messaging apps not sms lol
There are thousands of these. The two most popular are Whatsapp and Wechat. What are we discussing exactly?
