Anyone have a better option for Facebook then the Android Market place app? It keeps having an error when i try to do mobile uploads and in general is not very good. Thanks in advance
Uploads of pictures? it gives me trouble from time to time. Just wish it didn't direct to the mobile site other than that it is as good as iphone version

I use the actual web page.....well I try to until it changes back to the facebook touch...grrrrr
It makes sense as the screen is so big

Yes Facebook is not the best. I have no problems uploading images, but the no landscape mode for the home screen, as well as not being able to click youtube links really annoys me.
I think facebook just needs to buckledown on this. With android being the most sold phone os in the past 6 months... yeah facebook lets update that app, becasuse right now it sucks.

Hi
Try the app 'bff photo' for uploading pictures & video works very well. Videos cant be uploaded from the web page using phone. But as fazzibear said the web site is best as screen is big enough.

I agree! Facebook app is not very good.
Android and Facebook is huge... no excuse for the sucky app.

For a few days now every time i try to do a refresh on the notifications page in the facebook app. I get an error, something about a parse error.
I don't know why, since i haven't done anything different or added any new apps.
Any help?
Thanks

I have the same problem too. May be the problem is at Facebook server.
Same here, it fails to update since a few days back. This has happened before and that time it was due to changes of how FB works, not related to SE or android failure. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Facebook is fine here, connecting through the official (crappy) app.

Perhaps they should remove the horrible Facebook app that's on the market and release one that actually works. Take a page from iPhone app.

Can you give a description of what's "horrible" about the app?
Aside from built in Chat and Places support, it's pretty close to the iPhone version in terms of features, and it works perfectly fine.
The facebook app on iPhone is better.

Same here, got the newer one from the market and it works great.
My friend was whining about his FB app too and I asked him if he updated it.
*He replied "but I have the latest version".
*I asked "did you manually DL the one from teh market and replace teh one on your phone?"
*He said "um, no... it did not say it needed an update so I never changed it"
*I explained the pre installed app bug and showed him the difference in the two apps. Problem solved!
oh okay good to know. Cuz I have the facebook app that came on the phone. I assumed (never ASS-u-me) it would be the same one in the market.
so i downloaded the new facebook app, and it looks very similar to the iPhone one, which is good. So I tried logging in and I keep getting a "login in error". And I checked the e-mail address and password 3 times.
Never mind it works now. Sorry.
Does anyone else have a problem with the youtube app, being that it doesn't choose to watch videos in HQ by default. For each video I find my self racing in the menu to choose watch in high quality before the video starts. If I don't do it quick enough, the play time toggle pops up and I end up fast forwarding to the end, and then having to go to the menu again.. Why can't youtube just play HQ by default on my beautiful screen?? Anyone else feel my pain?

Use the mobile website. It's better.
Hmmm my Vibrant seems to default to HQ. Wonder why? I did just get it yesterday.
If your on wifi it defaults to hq if your on data it uses lq.
It happens to me too. I just use www.m.youtube.com
Much better and you can see new videos from your subscriptions.

I hear that in 2.2 samsung will add a HQ button so you dont have to rush to the menu.

over the past 4 months there has been some awesome mod/hacks to the vibrant/android device, like android runing on the iphone, angry birds coming from the iphone, ninja fruit, the same, lag fix, gps fix, new Roms etc etc... I was wondering, Facebook App for the iphoneis is the best fb app now, how hard would it be to port this app into the android OS.
I guess this questions is more for all the Vibrant/android's developers.
i know there are two totally different OS, but i think we need a better facebook app for the android.
What do you guys think?
isn't the newest fb app pretty much the same as the iphone one? i mean it's by fb so i imagine they want consitency between platforms...
From what I have heard, the facebook app for android is **** compared to the iphone.

i use facebook touch and works great for me..
The FB app for android is missing some real common features. Like clicking on a notification takes you to the mobile site instead of the app, wtf? Can't tag photos and no Facebook chat.

you say that like it's a bad thing...
Missing the ability to chat. I am OK with the rest. No complains. I am loving it but missing that key element.
the layout pretty much looks the same as the iphone version with the exception of chat and that everything isn't incorporated in the app itself...
I also don't like the little photos at the bottom. They seem to just lag up the app.
The android fb app also doesn't have "favorite people" a feature in the apple version that lets you go straight to that particular persons fb page for ex. Your best friend or girlfriend.

no push notification, no tag photo, no chat, slow, and when you open a notification you been redirect to the browser.
so a question to the Developers here, can this be possible?
Post it.

I think the android face app sucks balls, I have it installed just to see the newests posts. Then use the FB's mobile website to look at pictures because theyload so much faster.

I've used both for iPhone and Android. The iPhones app is far superior. I use Launcher pros friends widget (awesome) for a quick look then I have to bounce around the FB app and the web to get anything done. This stinks. The iPhone app did it all. I am never going back to Apple, but they got a jump on the good apps and app writers. I have seen a steady improvement since app devs have started to realize that there are great Android Phones now to write too...
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I agree, the FB app I had on my iPhone over a year ago completely destroys the current FB app for Android, its really disappointing, I hate not being able to tag people in pictures I upload from my phone and being redirected to the browser for most of the functions. Lame

You have 24 hours to get a refund if you don't want it anymore
For those who actually want to get on fb chat w/android, check out eBuddy. It's not perfect app, but it works well enough.
Doesn't change the fact that in order to do anything semi-complicated (even looking at friends of friends), it's basically impossible to do it with the fb client.

All of a sudden this morning, my Facebook App shows "No Posts" on the wall and on the People Hub it says something along the lines of No News To Report.
I have tried resyncing both Windows Live account and Facebook account. I have deleted the Facebook account and reloaded it to the phone. I also have logged out of Facebook on the app and relogged in. None of it is working.
I am thinking this is on Facebook's end though, because it is too coincidental to have both have similar issues at the exact same time. Anyone else experiencing this or have any ideas? Thanks.
Mine just updated fine
I think it's Michael Dell personally taking revenge on you for all of your twitter posts.
Joking aside, you've restarted the phone, right?
