[Q] Facebook S in 2.2? - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed official Android 2.2 yesterday and I just realized that Samsung's FB app "Facebook S!" is missing. Where can I get that? It's not in Samsung Apps.

I didnt loose Facebook S! but it doesnt work anymore.

yeah noticed the same. Thought I give that app a try but its gone
Was there a big difference beteween the market app and the samsung app?

Never tried the market app, because people say its extremely slow.

It's so much better than the market app. It's almost as if I want to change back to 2.1 just to get Facebook S! back. But just almost.

Samsungs Facebook APP

samsungs facebook app out of there android market... i think its better than the one in the android market so im posting the apk since not many ppl can access the samsung android market
not bad, thanks for the up! I love the Add Location feature when posting a status - getting closer to "Places" every time there's a new app.......
Just tried it with JI6 Froyo and just Force Closes and won't run... Thanks for the file, if I end up going back to 2.1 I will use.
I also tried it with Froyo JI6. Doesn't work.
Is there any possible way you could get a 2.2 version of it? Everyone I know with a Captivate has already switched over too, so it would be awesome if we all could get it. Thank you!
i just stumbled upon it but ill see what i can dig up for 2.2,samsung has to update for when 2.2 officially comes out for our device

Its a seperate market that samsung has installed on some phones... its called samsungapps but there isnt a way to emulate it that i know of

Have you tested this and it is working? Bugs?
And what version ROM are you running?
I hate the default Facebook app for this phone. Just wish I could filter my friends list.
i havent had any problems with it, i have it installed and been using it daily, i dont have the other one installed. I am running Cognition 2.1.1
Works great for me so far. Appears to be superior to facebooks crap app

thanks, but keep getting network errors.
Dont works for me in froyo
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
it prolly wont work with froyo since samsung hasnt released froyo for any of the galaxy s line, but im sure once they release froyo, theyll update the app
I installed and it looks great! My only gripe is that it takes forever to load any of the tabs. I imagine this is due to all the detail of the app (way more options than Facebook for Android). Other than that, I absolutely love it! I just want it to load faster... so I guess I wont be uninstalling the other one any time soon.. =^\
It doesn't recognize the Facebook Account in the Captivate on Froyo..
Samsung Apps is built into all the I9000 ROMS. Someone with the I9000 JPK Froyo build need to download the Facebook App from Samsung Apps and post it here. If nobody does it, I will upload the file the next time I flash my phone.

Youtube updated

I was looking for something in the app market and happened to run across this. Looks like a new update for Youtube. Seems like a little smoother interface and bit more finger friendly. Just figured I'd share!
The native YouTube app? Or are you talking about a 3rd party one?
I ask because I'm not getting an update notification. Since its one of my most used apps I'm definitely interested in any new improvements
The native app. I didnt get a notification for it either but it's def a different verision then what I had before. Try searching for it in the market.
I think it may be for 2.2 only.

I'm running Cog Beta 5.5. Which is 2.2.
But, it looks like it is completely separate than the YouTube app which comes pre installed on the captivate. Just downloaded, and so far I like it.
Here's the Appbrain
EDIT: It also allows you to edit the SafeSearch controls. Which I had heard previously Samsung (or ATT) disabled.

Can anyone else confirm this? I never got a backup so I don't want to upgrade unless this is true.

It definitely does let you edit the safe-search controls. First thing I did was turn them off
still cant watch a lot of music videos (thanks to VEVO) and a bunch of popular videos (worst dj ever) are still not viewable or searchable.
Have to use the regular Youtube site and use flash for those videos.
It clearly states on the AppBrain page that it is for 2.2 and up, so no dice for us Eclair users.

new and improved....
yeah,i downloaded this yesterday and i really like this version- the interface looks much better dark and i like that i have access to my channel when away from my computer...found out about the new youtube app through android central-no notification was sent to me since the captivate doesn't officially have 2.2?(i have the leaked 2.2 )
thanks for the headsup!!
New app looks awesome Thanks for the find.
Can someone please go to the new YouTube app (if you have it) go to settings and see what the application version is, please?
2.0.26

Really liking the new update. Again this is for 2.2 only, it didn't show up as an update to my current youtube app, but it did replace it once I downloaded and installed it.
Hopefully Google continues to add more and more of the stock apps to the market... one way to combat the horrors of Sense, TouchWiz, etc.

Confirmed working on my end.
Definitely an improvement but still can't comment from within the app which I hope they implement

After 2.3 update all kinds of app open....

Anyone else having similar problems with apps always opening. I'm constantly opening up app manager and closing music, Google plus, email, maps, message, etc.....I back out of everything so I know the apps are closed. It just seems as if every app I open its listed in the app manager as running even though I close them.

Are you positive? Some apps sync by default.

The same thing happens here! It doesn't matter if I force stop the app or use the application manager but apps will always start back up on their own after I stop them including apps that don't sync.

2.3.5 stock. They just open on their own.
It did it on V20C. I switched to V20P and it still does it.
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
im having the same problem here I updated to 2.3.5 with v20p and now it seems like every app is reopening by themselves and I'm constantly running the task manager.
btw what's the average RAM u guys get? cuz the best I've got has been like 240mb of free RAM and I doing get why...
oh and I'm on a thrill P925
I've had the same problem. I ended up installing AutoKiller Memory and got the paid version. I selected the Extreme preset and applied all 10 tweaks. Now my phone runs a whole lot faster. I had trouble running my SPB Shell 3D launcher smoothly as well as games like Shadowgun until I did this. Now I appear to be having no more problems.
I'm assuming it's the memory management on 2.3.5.

It certainly is. Otherwise a utility like AutoKiller Memory would not have resolved my issues. I really had been frustrated for some time. Many don't like task killing apps like this, but if you want to run Gingerbread, SPB Shell 3D Launcher, and lots of apps including some demanding games like ShadowGun then it can make all of the difference.
Same problem on my end. I have loads of apps randomly active in memory. It wasn't like this before the update.
does this happens with v21D and other updates?
cuz im with v20p but im thinking about switching to v21D

When everything is killed for 5 seconds I have around 210mb. Usually my phone will bog down to 50mb and go launcher will pop up asking to clear memory.

wow I didn't know that people actually used that app, it was also one of the reasons why I got rooted, to get rid of it, lol.
:good: Thanks bro.You're fantastic. Here I request has a reason.
this app is great because official FB app consumes too much memory and it doesn't. Also, this is the only FB app that I know can be used in China! (Official FB web/app will be blocked)

Google's new messaging app Hangouts

Any one have luck updating gtalk to hangouts, I suppose if your rooted it's probably simple but if your unrooted as I am than the talk app is a system app bloatware and hasn't updated to hangouts

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.
You can do it via the play store through the webpage.
Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk
Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.
installed from web to device and rebooted phone
I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

This is how I did it. Still had a shortcut for Talk in one of my homescreen folders, but just deleted it and replaced it with Hangouts. I like it.

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.
I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.
