Does anyone here know how to get push-notifications for Facebook? I'm an former iPhone user and i liked the push-notifications it had, but i am wondering can you get push-notifications on Galaxy S. Thanks.
Yeah i would like to know this also

But in the iPhone is it not the application itself doing the notifications?!? I never had an iPhone so that's why I am asking. Because if is so, then the developers who are building the application for Android should implement this option..
I've noticed the phone/contact apps seems a little buggy on my friends Nexus S (2.3.4),
Is there some way to give my friend the phone app from my SGS2? Has anyone done this? Would it work? Would it be better or worse or?
Or does anyone have any alternative recommendations?
Well TouchPal it's great.

Good afternoon XDA!
Having received my N7 yesterday, I didn't get to play with it too much until later on at night. One of the first things I noticed was that the Facebook app on the device is missing many of the main features. I'm not sure if it's a JellyBean issue (as my Galaxy Nexus is CDMA and I haven't modded it to JB yet) or a N7 issue, but there's no way to see someone's Pictures, Info, or Favorites. What I mean is that if you go to someone's profile the only thing visible is their Wall. There's no way to go into the other sections of someone's profile. The only way to see their pictures is if they post them on their walls.
Anyone else notice this? For those that have, if you also have JellyBean on another device does it do it there, as well? I just have no way of knowing if this is a JB issue or a device-specific issue. I can't seem to find any other complaints, which I'm a bit confused by...I understand that this device is extremely new, but a *vast* majority of Android users also spend quite a bit of time on Facebook, so I'd be surprised if nobody had run into this issue before me (or at least made comments on it).
Post thoughts and maybe we can narrow it down!
I'm seeing the same issue. I've heard good things about Friendcaster as a superior replacement so I'd try that.
Friendcaster is a good alternative and in many ways superior to the Facebook app - you can have multiple log ins/accounts and much more responsive than facebook

I have both the Galaxy Nexus on JB and the N7, I can definitely confirm that the FB app is lacking on the N7 especially when going into peoples profiles. However on the Galaxy Nexus it has every single feature that it had on GB and ICS. No idea what the deal is with the N7 version of the app.
Facebook app isn't set up for tablets on JB as far as I'm aware. Give them a bit to update the app and we will see.
No your wrong, its not the fact its a tablet on jelly bean, its the fact its a tablet.
My transformer prime has the exact same problem and its on ics

Early day's? The problems been there Fot every android tablet, facebook app sucks ass and they don't seem to care. Friendcaster whilst not being as pretty gives tonnes more functionality

Friendcaster is light years ahead of FB app. Try it for free then get the ad free version. You'll thank me.

Just my 2 cents, but FB apps in general on all devices are poorly optimized. One of the few things i'd rather view with a browser.
FB for Phone on Tablet
Is there a way to install the FB app that runs on smartphones on the N7?

That's what you have installed. The app adjusts itself based on being on a tablet or phone.

You can't interact with people that disable third party access on FB when using Friend caster. Just a heads up.

Is there any difference between the Pro version and the Free, other than ads? $5 is not worth it for me for ads...
The Facebook app is terribad on every platform, and every form factor. Just don't bother using it.
We can't see the photos section on anyone's profile page anymore ? Same app on my galaxy nexus shows it!
I'm hoping its happening for all of you too?

Mostly because the app developers for Facebook have never put out a good update that didn't break things? It's one of the worst development companies on the planet...if their services wasn't used by so many people they would have fallen off the radar a long time ago.
Give it 3 months and maybe it'll be fixed.

Stupid question but i beed to know why on the very latest release of the facebook app as to why when I post a status that it doesn't say the location.
I did check location on in the facebook app from the Google store.
I see people post their status and it says town/city when they post. At one time this worked and only once on the latest facebook release. Help! !!

Hi guys, is it possible to install the stock email apps from HTC or samsung on to the z?
I find the built in email app to be garbage and the others I've tried from the App store are pretty bland.

i dont like the stock app either but this one is very customizable

I've tried it and it's the best so far but it still falls short compared to so many stock mail apps on other phones I've used. I'm struggling as to what to do next.
Surely there must be a way to get the htc mail app as it's so much better
Have you found the solution?

Well might just be me, but what more do you need than be able to read mail, send new mails and scroll?
