New Official Facebook app on Android!!

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.

Still not Rooted?

There is a GUI that I just ran across that was posted I think while I was on the site. Basically someone has created a GUI for GladRoot4.2. Of course GladRoot was created here but there is now a GUI for those of you that don't know what your doing but want root
The site I was on is: android-advice.com
I have had the site above in my reader for a while and it seems like they occasionally have good stuff. They are no XDA but seem to keep up to date with things pretty well.

Google + circles

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
and heres just a video of some things that you need to do and stuff so please watch

good initiative.
people who are on G+ can add me

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?

Facebook App

Hi to all,
I don't know if this is the correct section to post this thread, of not be free to move it
I was reading on the Web that Facebook rebuilt the App for Apple using Objective - C instead of Html5, I hope that they will do something even for us because I don't know you but the problem that is not possible to upload photos is quite annoying.
It seams that even Friendcast doesn't work good...Maybe this is the good moment to stop using Facebook Just kidding Ahahah.
Bye

1. Many tech sites and users have been saying that the Facebook app on iOS lagged worse than the Android version hence the change. The iOS version NEEDED the update where as the Android version would benefit from it but they don't deem it necessary. Hopefully they will do it in the future though.
2. I can upload photos with both Facebook & FriendCaster. Not sure what issue your bumping into

This isn't related to the GT-I9100

it is damn easy man,
using Social Media Marketing,Use Your Own Mobile Site,Endorsements,Get Your Users To Rate Your App,Make Your App Buzz-Worthy!

I often review Android apps on my site called www.appdigy.com
I doubt you will get a MASSIVE increase in downloads but a small bump might be possible.

Marketing Your Apps
ASO - App Store Optimization is the art and science of increasing apps tore downloads organically. Here are the tools and steps you can use (in order) SOCIAL MEDIA -->> YOUR VIDEOS --->> YOUR WEBSITE --->> YOUR BLOG --->>SEARCH ENGINES and then to --->>> THE APP STORE.
You can ask me more about how it is done! I am glad to be of help

Social media is the way
I agree with LoganTJM

At google+, search "Android", then post your app on those communities and try to get people download it.
