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.

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
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
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.
Is it just me or is the facebook app lagging really bad?
On older versions it was a little faster.
I'm using fasty rom.

Yep I do like the older versions the new one sucks.
I believe it has a memory leak. I've seen it climb up to 44mb of ram. I emailed the dev but never got a reply.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using xda premium
It's an absolutely terribly coded app. It's basically the web interface with terribly memory management issues. It's hit as high as 55MB of RAM usage on my phone. I recommend just making a bookmark to the mobile sit and using that through the browser. It's essentially the same experience until we can get a decent Facebook app
Also the notifications are a joke.

What notifications
(Yes I know what you mean)

Try these instead
a wrapper for the mobile site, really good overall.

Replacement app, UI is not amazing but at least it works!

Yeah the Facebook App has always been extremely slow for me. Takes upwards of 30+ seconds to sometimes refresh news feeds or to change sections. I've opted to use the mobile site version instead now... and guess I'll give friend caster a try!

It rarely notifies you, which is extremely annoying.
Facebook app is one SORRY A$$ excuse for an app...i really don't understand how they have that many people working and the updates just kept getting worse and worse...now it's just a huge battery hog and doesn't even do what it's supposed to properly...all those negative comments in the reviews and they just lie complacent as if nothing's going on....i swear it's a ruse by Zuckerberg showing favoritism to Apple probably...a-holes
Thanks for the TIP on the Friendcaster. that works very fast. now adding to my tablet as well.
One other tip I'd offer is looking into Tinfoil for Facebook. It's essentially just a cached, Sandbox'd version of the mobile site, but there's a dedicated app for it, and it does run fairly fast on my phone!
Friendcaster is lightyears faster and more efficient than the Official Facebook App.
The facebook app is utter crap. Way too slow!! Better off using the browser.

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.
Hey guys,
I just install the CM9 rom and I need basic apps like facebook for tablets (that fit well on the screen).
because I downloaded the facebook app and what I see in the central wall is a status with little words and a huge pictures.
same question here, the facebook app is terrible for GT 2

thanks, I will try the free version, looks good
The Facebook app for Gtab 2 7 sucks. I wish Facebook would just release a version that is optimized for Tablets.. Until then I just use my broswer to view the desktop version for Facebook.
friendcaster is very very very good app for facebook
+1 for Flipboard! I don't generally like the idea of a "newsreader", but this one is awesome! It actually can be connected up to Facebook and Twitter, is very easy to set up, and does a really nice job of aggregating news stories and formatting them so they look really nice on the 7" screen.
The first thing I always install is SwiftKey 3, which is pretty much my favorite Android keyboard app. There's a free version available for trial. For the GT2 7.0 you'll want to use the Tablet version (which is what I linked to).
