[Q] Facebook Places - Android Software Development

Hey all,
Do we have any more information regarding an update for Facebook for Android? I am fed up as I think everyone is of people targeting iPhones for developing etc.
My HTC Desire is perfectly capable of running FB Chat and FB Places so I think its stupid that Facebook wouldn't give us an upgrade.
Just wondering, thats all. Ta Guys

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. iPhones are preferred for no reason, Facebook Places has been out for quite some time now, and we can all use the HTML5 based touch.facebook.com. However, the Facebook application for Android keeps being the same lame old duck as always.
I've been writing reviews, complaining, participating on discussions on Facebook and several other locations, but nothing happens. It is ridiculous that I now have to open my browser and use touch.facebook.com everytime.
But whatever

you can use the fb touch site for fb places

Do you think we can extract this and put on the HD. We need a solution to rival the iPhone

doesn't look as good, but better that the default I think http://faceofmobile.com
bump bump bump
guys. try http://iphone.facebook.com on your touch hd.
as well as any optimized iphone websites. works like a charm for me
http://iphone.netvibes.com
http://www.digg.com/iphone/
http://iphone.foodnetwork.com/
etc.
I always used snap2face (Now known as SkyBook) on my Kaiser. (HD is in a delivery van now!)
http://www.magnifoca.com/products.html
Really liked the ability to import facebook profile pictures into WM Outlook.... Very cool.
Snap2Face is slow, its design crude and its functionality dreadful. We need a proper dedicated facebook app and this Xperia panel looks the ticket.
please can someone get this working on a HD... I would be willing to make a Paypal donation and I am sure others will too...
The way Sony Ericsson is trying to fragment the windows mobile community with its exclusive 'panels' is really negative..
still nothing??!
Theres even a facebook app for Android now, but yet again WM gets left out in the cold. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??!

BUMP for the sake of the Windows Mobile community

New user Android question, regarding pictures for contacts

Hey all, new HTC Legend owner here and am absolutely loving the phone, but jsut had a quick question. I went into gmail and assigned some contacts (since I sync from gmail for contacts list) some pictures so our SMS chats would look pretty. And they do look pretty, but I can't figure out how to assign an avatar to MYSELF.
What I mean is, take a look at this chat message I'm having with a friend

She has a pretty rose for her picture but why do I look like a seuxal predator?? How do I change that!!
Thanks in advance all!!
Mine was like this for a while then it suddenly just started showing my avatar try resting your avatar in Google then force a re sync. Mine only started showing once I changed my fb image so give it a go
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I don't use stock messaging app (I don't even have it installed), but I can tell you that handcent has option to add your picture.

Netflix hasn't officially confirmed that there's an Android app in the works, but it is hiring an "Android Video Playback Expert." Sounds like a pretty good hint that Android users will get a treat soon. [Ars Technica via GeekSugar]

Can't wait for this but its pretty old news to be honest http://tinyurl.com/2v7fv4z
It's definitely old news, but the articles he mentioned are recent. This was going around before the evo came out.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/08/netflix-looking-to-hire-android-video-playback-expert/
Ah, my bad. this is the first i've heard of it. sorry boys!
I am looking forward to this.
Hopefully its free or at least a decent price, unlike the slingbox app.
Darn... I got excited for a second. Old news. There is already a hack to make this possible on the Iphone. The Ipad supports it from the market. I'm sure its possible for high end phones, but the slower ones might stumble.j

MSN official ?

is there a official msn for android ? or will there be one coming for android ?
only if your on the 3 UK network I believe.
There are plenty of 3rd party ones in the market.
Yes there is an official MSN app (only available from MSN china lol, but don't worry it's in english if your SGS is set to english).
Heres my quote from another thread.
It's official msn, but developed by PICA (chinese company http://www.pica.com/)
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_a...nger_cbpe.html
I'm don't think it's available in english market, so heres a link to the apk (it is a free app, not warez) http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BALZ1U08
It is modified to remove ads (the official one has ads >_<)

btw, the app is a bit visually lacking... but it has GREAT functionality (file transfer, DP changing and everything except webcam support lol).
I think MSN Talk by Talk Builder is a great one, it allows for you to be logged on from multiple locations which is great!
official msn app
Here you go
scan the qr-code

is there any multi-app like im+ oder so that allows multiple locations?

[APP] Flow for Reddit (Pre-Beta)

Disclaimer: I am not the developer of this app, Deepak Manoharan is. He doesn't seem to have created an XDA thread, so I'm making one so that people on XDA can know about his extremely thoughtfully designed app.

Flow is a very well designed Reddit browser, with a clean, extremely responsive and gesture friendly UI.
It has features like an integrated picture and YouTube viewer, integrated web browser, multiple account support, cards UI, themes, image download and more.
Moreover, unlike many popular Reddit browser apps, its ad free.
It's a very intuitive app, and I'd recommend that any reddit users on XDA check it out at least once.
Please report any bugs here, on the /r/RedditFlow subreddit or on the G+ group so that the developer can work towards resolving them.
Get it for free on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.deeptrouble.yaarreddit
This has been my default reddit app for a couple of months. Don't let the pre-beta put you off, the app is extremely stable.

Yep.
Just a few tiny bugs, otherwise it's very stable.
