I have tried lots of them and came back to Flow. Notifications work better.

Facebook For Android is a piece of ****. I hate that people actually like it. The iPhone version is twenty times better....seems like the Android app was coded by an utter retard.
Flow is awesome: better even than iPhone official version of Facebook which - while good - suffers far more annoying bugs.
Through Flow you can set up push notifications easily through its gmail interception system. They work immediately and look brilliant. If you turn the popup on then when someone comments it shows their picture and what they said in a little window. You can scroll through multiple popups. notifies you for everything you have set up Facebook Emails to tell you about.
It supports loads of things that Facebook for Android doesn't support such as tagging, untagging, deleting posts, viewing 'likes', setting profile pictures and uploading whole albums from the gallery at full size. Not too keen on the icons on the main menu but the developer is working on it.
Also it doesn't keep you logged into chat 24/7 and drain your battery, nor does it link to the browser everytime you try and do anything. Only thing it doesn't support is inbox (owing to Facebook API I believe) but it does give push notifications of inbox messages and opens up the requisite page in the mobile site.
Flow for Facebook all the way - absolutely phenominal. Screw the official app.

Why would you want chat within the app? Its a piece of crap on iPhone too and drains battery like hell as it doesn't keep you logged in server side. You can download Beejive for Facebook for FREE. It not only keeps you logged in for as long as you choose to but its very reliable and uses c2dm so uses next to no battery.
Screw chat within the app.
For a great widget use Launcher Pro. Best Facebook widget I've seen.

IPhone Facebook app is a lot better than Facebook for Android but it still leaves a lot to be desired. Notifications are clunky and when you open up a push notification it doesn't refresh the notifications feed itself upon opening. Photo comments OFTEN don't show even though you've been sent a notification of one - often takes a number of restarts and refreshes to show them. Lots of other little bugs. Like I say, iPhone app IS better BUT just look on iTunes at reviews of the app to see that it is less than perfect!
Thanks, i just bought Flow for facebook and its great!
Flow is actually nice but the lack of a widget lets it down.
thanks everyone for responfding
i just installed flow and like it so far
gun bros
FLOW developer is working on a widget I believe.
The app now has an integrated quick reply feature so when your notification popup appears you can immediately respond to it without even leaving the screen you're in. Pretty brilliant I reckon and I've seen nothing like it on any other platform.
thanks for flow
Would you mind telling me if your mini vibrate when you receive an sms?
Thank you

I own a Dart (T499) US version, but mine wasn't vibrating either even though I have it set too... the fix for me was to go under the settings for my sms program and tell it that I always want it to vib (mine was defaulted to never) see if that helps maybe.
Ty lord...i didnt even know that exist those settings
Sent from my GT-S5570 using XDA App
Tested.
Handy isn't vibrating even with vibrate always set on.
check both the "global setting for sound and notifications" and then also check the SMS settings, that's the only thing I can think of what it might be unless something is wrong with the handset?
it even depends on your messaging app
if you use a third party msging app, then you have its own settings
otherwise, your profile, if anyother application being used for profiles, global settings would do it
jus explore the device, you'll find it
Got a bit of an odd one for you guys. My girlfriends phone has exactly the same set up as me (phone rom kernel) but I have no issues at all. No matter what I do I cant open links from within her messages app (phone numbers / web addresses ect ) If I use a third party app like handscent it works fine but tbh I would much prefer the stock app. I have tried fresh installs, updates clearing data ect but no luck. Just about to try a completely different rom with a modded messaging app to see if it works. Any ideas?
Ended up just using a 3rd party sms application as it seems I am the only one with this issue. No issues after go sms install

I am having the same issue (Post Android 4 update). Does anyone know how to fix it?
If you look like on the xda portal... You'll find the way to take out htclinkify...
I would assume it has to do with that...

1. Is there a way to assign a custom ringtone to all calendar events?
2. Is there a feature or setting somewhere for it to light up or flash a light if you have a missed call or message? I badly miss this option coming from Nokia fones. If I have a missed call or text, the only way I find is if unlock the phone screen.
Thanks for your help.
anyone?
Are you on the stock firmware?
As for notifications theres an app called noled in the play store, give it a try. You can set it up for any notification you want.

You can try the "quick profiles" app frpm play store.

I use "NoLed" from Google Play store. It works very well. It can be set for times for it to turn on and off or you can put it on your homescreen and turn it on when you want it. I haven't noticed it affect battery life.
I really like the HTC email app, but it drives me nuts that I have to click "Display images" each and every time I open a damn email.
I was not able to find any options anywhere to disable this idiotic thing.
Is there a mod or something that does this?
Please don't tell me to try another app, I know I can do that, it is just that I like this one the most. Also I know that not displaying a image is a security feature, but I don't really care about it.
nope?
Have same question...
