I'm fed up of the facebook app on android, its so poor and i dont know why a dev doesn't just make an unofficial fb app that is better than the terrible "official" fb app. Surely we dont have to wait around for facebook to sort the app out.
i've been using "Bloo" for Facebook and i think it's a very good app. Maybe you should try it!

I'm curious if an all-in-one messenger exists or is even possible, and i'm not just talking about having Facebook or a.i.m on the same app. I'm looking for something more like how BlackBerry users messaging app works, where when an e-mail arrives, and a text arrives it will all show up in the same app with the click of one button.
If any already exist or if this is even possible any news would be wonderful
Thank you in advance.
Im not sure but maybe Nimbuzz does what you are looking for!

Friendcaster is a hands down, far superior app for Facebook, then the Official Facebook app. It does it in less room, with a plethora of options the Official app doesn't have. I can do almost everything on Friendcaster I can online, and faaaaarrrrrrrrr more then the FB app. Try it!!
hmmm, I will have to check it out. Thanks for the 411
Thanks sinsin it is a better app than facebook android.
Bummer it doesn't have chat.
Black facebook! Its the best ! Its not in the market tho

seems to me that what this app does os mostly provide notifications of updates and then send you to the facebook app or the webpage to do updates or even simply reply to messages. Will have to play with it some more however.

Been forever. If you're using the free version it doesn't do half of what the paid one does. If youre using the paid version there are options in the settings to choose actions for things. So it really does everything better. Even the FB app forces you to the website for stuff. Plus the paid version of Friendcaster has a black theme, to answer the post before yours. Not sure what options the free version has so if you're using it read up on it. It may be limited to certain things and options.

Since yesterday i have been having alot of issues with Facebook app. I cant comment or like. Doesnt seem to show latest updates. Cant chat with my friends, i hear the facebook notification sound but window is clear. Is there a problem with my OB or fb app jus sucks? Thx.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Do you have any others device login as same account,resulting the FB server no respond.Or press menu / reflash
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Nope, OB is the only other device i use to login to FB other than my pc. When you say reflash, you reinstall FB app? Thx for the reply.
I've problems with FB app from LG.
Changed to FB original and all it's OK now.
Also you can try Seesmic or Tweetdeck.
Thanks! Will check it out.
Dont use lgs own crappy facebook app, compared to the crappyness of facebooks own app it is much worse. Best is to use facebook in the browser but then the chat probably wont work

I am quite surprised at how crappy even the official FB app is. I thought they were gearing up for dominating the mobile world by even releasing chacha and salsa but what difference does it make when their app sucks.
For anyone using one of the Honeycomb ROMs, there is a really nice Facebook app called "Friend Me". Nice layout, solid build (though it is beta and has a couple of minor bus).
I've been using it a few weeks and it's great. Unfortunately, I haven't posted enough here to add an outside link, so if someone would be so kind...
Sure.... sharing this should help others... but I'm going one step ahead and sharing some more social apps for Honeycomb...
Honeycomb optimized Facebook apps:
Friend Me for Facebook by Locomo Labs
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook by OneLouder Apps
Honeycomb optimized Twitter apps:
TweetComb by Locomo Labs
TweetCaster (Twitter) HD Beta by OneLouder Apps
Plume for Twitter by LevelUp Studio
I have a problem with those apps and Andoid Illuminate for HC as I posted in the Illuminate thread:
Yeah I was right in my suspicions, it's because the Android build for the gtab has problems with hardware acceleration and the browser, I've attached a modified .apk which fixes the issue.

I'm using GTabComb 3.3 and it works fine on mine.
I tried FriendCaster but found it slower than Friend Me, but it's a nice app.
I also use TweetComb, but I'll have to try the others.

Honestly both Friendcaster and FriendMe suck. Yes the tablet UI layout is great, but functionally you're better off with the official Facebook app or just using the web, since both FriendME and Friendcaster are only good for VIEWING facebook content.
The minute you try to hit a "reply" button to actually communicate to your friends, it opens a web window with the facebook mobile site. Super lame.
So what do you think is the best Twitter app? The official is really good but it lags insanely. That bothers me... If you guys got some good Twitter apps... Please share.

Does it get updated anymore?
I use Tweetdeck with Tweetdark theme.
Its a sweet look (very black with white text) and Tweetdeck combines feeds like facebook if you want.
Definitely recommend.

The official twitter app and Tweetcaster Pro. Haven't tried Plume but heard good things.
Tweetdeck is owned by Twitter now, right?
is there any third party twitter apps that support push notification like the official one? i can't find it.
Tried twitter, tweet caster, tweetdeck for sometime.. they are all cool.. but been using Plume for a few days and wow its just took good!!

Twitter Client
Seesmic for me, i have tried most of the Twitter client, for me seesmic suited the best.

Plume free here.
though am seriously considering paying for the adverts to go away.
and yes, I got an update the other day.
If seasmic allows dark theme, it will be the best, for now, plume.
Does the paid version of Plume let you set which region you want to see trends from? I'm using the free version at the moment and it seems to only have US trending topics (or world, maybe). I don't really want to pay for it if I can't set it to UK topics.
