  • Help! I used to be able to log into Facebook from my Droid (2) – full site – and it was just like I was logged into my home computer. Gave me full chat, online friends, everything. A couple of weeks ago (when my Facebook converted to the new format??), it is no longer the same! I can log into the full site, but chat is gone! And listing of online friends….I don’t like the FB application for the Droid, would prefer just logging into the full site and using chat there! Any ideas?

  • Hey Kellex, do you remember your guide on how to manually sync facebook contacts? I haven't been able to do that in a while….possibly since rooting my phone and installing cyanogen. When I long press on a facebook contact's picture, nothing happens. When I quick tap the picture, in just goes into their facebook info. Anyone else having this issue?

  • go & search facebook in the market, and dl facebook for android, it'll act as an update

  • Hey guys WAY out of topic here but I've been looking everywhere and I can't figure it out how do I sign up to receive Verizon E-mail

  • I think the new Facebook app is beautiful and more feature packed with the addition of messaging. The only thing missing now is an official chat client, which we should have after flash gets released. I haven't used the app at all since November but now I actually have a reason to. It's one of the most aesthetically pleasing easy to use apps on the phone. Brilliant job well done.

    I still agree with a lot of user's concerns though. At least it does everything I need it to at the moment and apparently just takes a quick refresh to get my most recent notifications to show up since I don't keep the auto-sync on.

  • On another topic: do folks know that DataViz is offering the full version upgrade of DocumentsToGo for $9.99 (list 29.29) if you already have the free version? Until May 1. The site kept crashing when I first went there after getting email from DataViz, but worked fine a bit later; activation was a snap.

  • Never really liked the Facebook app, never recieve any notifications. I still prefer using the full site and keeping it bookmarked on my home page. Whoever is in charge of the Facebook app needs to step it up.

  • Finally! Maybe we can get push notifications by 2011. Also, why do all notifications go to the external browser? Still? Come on guys. It's now up to iPhone 2.0 software, let's get with it.

    Still, a good sign if only to confirm they haven't abandoned this app.

  • Facebook touch is better. Even Facebook mobile on xscope is better I think. Oh props to xscope for replacing that (cough) red X. 🙂

  • Download the AIM app from the market you can link your Facebook account and your aim list will make a list just with online facebook friends. i love it it gives me the ability to use FB chat without needing to turn on my computer. Hope this helps 🙂

  • Since updating this software I receive more and more FC for Helix 2. I ended up removing the FB widget and it appears to reduce the frequency. Anyone else notice this. I can this because this was the only software installed today.

  • “Package file was not signed correctly”

    Am I the only person getting this error when trying to install the update from the market??

    Motorola Droid, AdamZ's Smoked Glass ROM 6.0.1, rooted, 1.1ghz, etc.

    Thanks,

  • Slightly better, but it still sucks. My biggest pet peeve is that there is no push notification of status, picture, or post comments. Until then, I have to keep the combo of Bloo and Facebook on my phone.

  • What would be great is the facebook app with the option to see who is online to chat with. I used to have the iphone and facebook was much complete.

  • Something else has changed to. Now when you click on a picture in someone status, it doesn't take you to the mobile site. It shows up like the Myspace app.

  • There's a FB update within the last hour saying they've “fixed it” which I assume means the FC problems. So I'm being risky and updating it. Even though the stock from Verizon one does not show up in downloads or in installed apps, choosing to install the new one from the Market DOES ask you if you want to upgrade. Thought I'd put that out there for those who asked about that. I was wondering myself all the way until I touched “install”

  • This is much better than the previous update. I'm running BB v0.9 (yeah, sounds old school these days, I know) and have no FC or other issues. Still wish for more functionality like the iPhone app. For example, I wish there was a way to post photos from my Droid to the organization fan page I help run. Kellex, can or do you post photos to the Droid-Life wall or album from your Droid. If there's a way to do it, I haven't found it. I end up loading the photos to one of my own albums then putting up a like on the organization page.

  • Does this apply to the stock Facebook App on my Droid (VZW)? If so, how do I get the update since it doesn't show in the Market Downloads page?

    • yeah it doesn't come up as an “update available” but if you search for it in the maket it's there and when you download it it replaces the stock app

  • Uh oh Kellex….watch out! You might get about 1,000 friend requests if you show that!!! 🙂

    • The “ignore” button might be my favorite function. 🙂

      If people really want to get at me, they can hit up the Fan page.

  • touch.facebook.com works the best I think, You can't even click on links in the pre loaded facebook app in android. pretty weak.

  • If they can fix the photo functionality (i.e. seeing tags, making tags), then it'd be a great app. until then, m.facebook.com will be my destination

  • I think I'm going to hold off on updating. The Market is FULL of comments dated today from people saying all it does is constant FC and removing/reinstalling or going back to old version doesn't fix it. Anyone else have FC issues like that?

    • I did the same…..I shall be waiting as well. I am doing the same thing with Google maps 🙂

    • I was afraid of that as well but I decided to try it anyway. When i first run the app it showed a white screen, froze for a couple of seconds and then showed me the dialog saying the app is frozen. Out of the two options, “Force close” and “Wait” i decided to click “Wait” and lo and behold everything worked fine. Now i have no issues at all.. I don't know if this is what people experienced in the market comments but i did not regret upgrading. Messages was a big minus in the app (plus it fixed some issues i had with the contacts syncing)

    • The force close thing happens if an app doesn't respond within 5 seconds of a user trying to do something. I think all the people who were complaining on the market kept trying to press stuff while the app was initializing on the first run.

      My situation is similar to the guy above (or below, depending on where my comment floats to), except the os never said the app was not responding. When i went to my profile it hung for a few seconds while it was refreshing my stream. Other than that the app works great.

      It's too bad that they're too stupid to change the functionality of the app to go to TOUCH.facebook.com instead of m.facebook.com when it decides to run to the website for things that the app should be able to do. What the hell is wrong with them?!

  • How the heck do you install roms on your phone after you do so recovery? My computer won't even let me download the themes.

  • So…I'm not updating if I lose the Jrummy icon, and the black widget!! Haha..I can wait.

  • This is crap…Bloo includes an inbox. Im still waiting for chat..for a minute thats what i thought this was!! Now I too lost my custom icon, uninstalling updates!! =/

  • I like that at least there moving in the right direction moving rather slow. Next real notification and chat.

  • Still seems like a far cry from the iPhone app. I don't understand why we're stuck with a fraction of their functionality on the Facebook front.

  • Are you serius, so we finally get messages on this app, you kidding right??? after all this time.

  • Wow… this took way too long… Now they need to work on the rest of the problems… tagging and editing photos [already uploaded]

    but this is a step in the right direction

  • Not bad. Not really too worried about the Messagin part. I use eBuddy for that. Thumbs up, nonetheless
