hi everyone. i am fully aware that there is a fb app that comes with this phone. but in my opinion, it sucks. when i click a notification, it goes into browser. uh. thanks. if i wanted to use the browser, why am i on this app?! (sorry just ranting)
anyway i was wondering if anyone is using a better fb app? maybe one that is not facebook touch (i dl that one and it is so so too)
thanks!
Http://touch.facebook.com works well.
While on the subject of facebook apps, why does this phone have 2? It has Facebook and Facebook for Sense.

Now that I updated, I have 2 facebook accounts in my accounts tab in settings.
Also, I can use the app, but when I click things it just takes me to the mobile facebook page in the browser. I can do that on my own!
I clicked don't sync as i feared that would happen. I did read on the sync page that u can at anytime change ur setting for sync.
Also read the engadget review comments and seen that most will just bring u to the browser. Pointless update to me.
Does ur.phone at the same as before.

Facebook still hasn't implemented global notifications, which makes this update completely worthless. The UI update is nice, but I'd rather have functionality at this point (coming from a Blackberry that is archaic compared to media usage.. I find this a bit ironic).
The sync feature is hit and miss as well. You will find two options in your sync options for FB now. One of them, even if left off, is a placeholder for your log in information for the app. Turning the sync on will just load another set of linked contacts, most likely slowing down Samsung's OS even more. I checked it out and then removed all of the links by turning it off (nice touch, FB). The feature will be nice for people who load a stock 2.2 ROM on their phone (when available).
useless and horrible update, read the thread about it:

I updated before I read this thread and now facebook is killing my battery.

But what about the contact sync issue?
I had mine to sync every 2 hours. Each time it would sync'd, it added another link to the contact. So, after 6 hours, I had 3 more links to my contacts that had Facebook.
I turned the sync off in the Facebook app, and used the sync with the phone. I have a Captivate and for some reason it has two different Facebook options in the account sync settings which do different things.
FB for android is horrible... man, I thought FB for Blackberry was bad.
Has anyone else noticed that on the News Feed it doesn't even show 1/3 of the posts? Also, why does it take you to your browser when you click on any link to a notification or comment in the app?
I ended up turning on SMS notifications for facebook because the Android FB UI is garbage
not only that, it synced my contacts so many times i had 8-10 seperate listings in my contact list for everyone in my phonebook that has facebook.
so i removed that using Titanium and im good to go.
Does FB synchronize photos for you guys? I'm talking to friends with other androids and they say it does... not so for me. Wondering if its the Captivate or my settings.
Also, when you click on "View Profile" when looking at a contact does it take you to their profile or yours? When I click it it takes me to my profile instead of the person's.
Hi,
I like the way my HDH link my contacts with FB. But, some of my contacts dont have FB, but do have Linkedin. So, here my obvious question: Is it possible to also link my contacts to Linkedin? Or perhaps other social media?
There is no officiel linkedin app yet.
You can try this one, it is supposed to do what you want.

I cant add my facebook account to my phone to allow it to sync with my contacts...
I have recently reverted my phone back to stock from using roms for about 4 months. I am able to add my Gmail account no problem but then i click on the facebook account and it reverts back to the account page. I was able to add my facebook account before but no luck anymore... any ideas
I figured this is the place to ask it!
Thankyou.
I have enabled apps in the facebook page as well under privacy settings and it still does nothing and help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Facebook for android is the worst app I have ever installed, when is not a thing is other, alpha versions of other apps I have installed have less bugs than it...
you may need to update the facebook app before you can add your facebook account.
Facebook for android is terrible.
Might I recommend Friend Caster? Designed much better, with popup notifications and it will sync all your contacts flawlessly. It's on the market.
Give it a whirl. You won't be sorry.

Hi,
Wondering for those who use Opera Mini were you able to log in and sync to your bookmarks (and use other settings)? After accepting terms I can't find a way to login.
Also, anyone have any success in using Twitter client? Have been able to login but app seems to crash periodically. Better suggestion? Like Twitter for push notifications.
Thanks,
Mike
mjoshea,
I have the same problem with twitter, after a few seconds running it crashed and went back to desktop. Tweetdeck is my twitter app of choice. I've even told one of the root devs about it, and he though it was weird.
I've never synced bookmarks with opera, so I can't help with that.
Hi Folks,
I've come from a Samsung Galaxy S3 to a new shiny HTC One which was delivered a couple of hours ago. Just getting set up and was wondering whats your preference for email setup. With my company using Google Apps i've always just gone ahead and used Gmail but was wondering if the 'Mail' app was any better?
Regards
Sam
They are both really good, I guess if you have multiple email accounts the mail app is better than the dedicated gmail one because you could easily switch between accounts

I use the Mail app because I have 4 email accounts so easier to manage, I would still use this app if I only had one gmail account tbh, its much cleaner looking.
Gmail definitely. Don't like the native app.
Probably no help but I have been using both the HTC native mail app as well as the Gmail app. Personally I like the look and feel of the native app but I think I have been just to used to running my email accounts on separate apps, hasn't hurt me yet.
