You could Fast for Facebook, if it is still available. There also was an app called Atrium. But I don't see it on the play store anymore.
Tinfoil is an app based on the browser version of Facebook.
Those are all the alternatives I know for facebook.

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.

Just go to the chat section of Facebook for Android, tap Menu, then tap Go Offline and it'll stay that way until you enter the chat section again
Am I then offline at the pc also? So stores facebook that I am offline our only the phone?

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.

yes I have the same problem with FB friends' page. Official FB app isnt optimized for Honeycomb. A FB app optimized for Honeycomb is called Friend Me. BUt it does not have all the features.
Im not familiar with the Mirren browser.

[Q] Atrix 4g Facebook Contacts question

Simple Question..
On the stock gingerbread atrix 4g (alien rom as well) when you add your blur facebook account your contacts will have a tiny FB icon. If you click it, it opens the FB mobile browser (not the app). This is with FB market app installed and accounts properly setup. This is a minor annoyance but my ultimate question is why on CM7 pre beta 2 this does not happen? In cm7 you click a contact, click tiny FB icon and wham loads that person profile in the FB market app not the mobile browser.
Is this something blur doesnt allow? FB not liking moto/google on the atrix? or something special with the cm7 version? or am I doing the blur stock accounts incorrectly?
(I did search this forum many many times but I am also not technically smart enough to develop or understand the lingo so I might have been searching incorrectly)
Thank you.

well, in CM7 there is no motoblur. that facebook button is put there when you install the facebook app and sync your contacts.
however, in the other ROMS the button is put there through motoblur syncing your facebook account, which launches it in the browser.

Facebook Messenger draining battery

Hi All, I have been using the Galaxy S8 for a week now. i have noticed that when using FB Messenger, battery drains faster than any other apps specifically messaging apps. I have also gotten this feedback from other S8 users here.. anyone of u experiencing similar issue???
FB and FB Messenger seem to be battery eaters for me. I switched the Friendly for Facebook app. Full featured but takes a little while to get used to...

Does Friendly support simple Facebook login to other apps (e.g. Spotify)? My main reason behind sticking to the official full app is that not even the FB Lite app supports OAuth login to other apps, it brings up the web wrapper login - which is a hassle since my FB password is 64 characters.

I use Friendly and it brings up a web version of Facebook to auth. I use LastPass app to auto fill my credentials so it doesnt matter how long your password is, it should help you.

Lastpass and other auto password fillers are not an option before 8.0 - they use the Accessibility features of Android which causes incredible lag and power drain.

facebook app broken

Lol well the stupid Facebook App devs did it again do these fools not test things before they push them to the app store? Updated last night while sleeping and now won't stay open.more than a few seconds without crashing. Anyone else seeing this ? I am running 8.1 July update.
Facebook lite and the mobile site on chrome work fine.
So.it seems this is either an app or server problem it started in Europe https://www.express.co.uk/life-styl...wn-android-app-crash-not-working-social-media
The real solution is to not use Facebook.
