Facebook webpage seem to think I have a Desire HD!
At the bottom of the website it says 'Download facebook for your Desire HD'
It did however say Dell Streak on 1.6
I'm not worried about it just wonder why.

Mine alsosays the same thing. When I first revived my Streak when I was still on 1.6 it recognized it as the Streak. But from your post it looks like your on 1.6 still so it's probally something on Facebooks end.

I have noticed, while using the stock 1.6 ROM, that facebook always opens in mobile mode. After I tap the "Full Site" link and get transferred... the page is ALWAYS old! I click on "most recent" but nothing happens, so I end up stuck on an old page.
I have found a workaround.
After I click "most recent" the screen doesn't update however the addressbar DOES change. Next I pull up a favorite website (ex.MustangsForums etc.) and go to that page. Once on that second page I pull up the history. I click on the facebook page that I just left. The browser then sends me to the "most recent," properly updated facebook page.
It's a pain but it works. I'm on my 5th day with Streak (& android), with stock 1.6 ROM & default web browser.
Facebook recognizes it as a desire because that is the 2.2 image that steve has modified for the streak

I had the same on mine using official o2 2.2 so it's not just a streakdroid thing. The stock browser is rubbish at avoiding mobile pages. Typing about:debug into the address bar (nothing will appear to happen) then going into settings and uastring will allow you to change the default browser mode, but this didn't change much for me. The best way to get the full Facebook is to use skyfire and set it to desktop mode. The bookmark you use can take some fiddling to get the full page and "most recent" on your wall, the bookmark I have saved is http://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf

Has anyone else found that some of the apps were/are not accessible from the market.
Pre 2.1 it was pandora, after 2.1 its myplayer amongst others.
I'm guessing dell haas blocked these some how?
Any one got any info on it?

Also noticed a paid app called national rail is missing from my download list and the market.

Found it out.....
Apparently the new rom needs to be registered with google for it to have full access. Well at least that what the htc replied in a forum reply in the link below. Sounds like a way that the providers can limit or access to bandwidth hungry apps

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.
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
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
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.

Its just on the market, search for it... Froyo is very near I think!
If it isn't working the first time ( invalid backup), reboot your phone... Try it again and it will work.

Nero? We probably can connect external USB-Burner to the Streak and burn our data on DVD *lol*

got my streak a week ago, found dell backup in market a few days ago
+2 for froyo release.. I would bet it will be release on the 11th.
thanks - this saved me a heap of time
Where does this program save the backup file to? I don't see it on my SD card

Nice find, worked great.
Keeps hanging on backing up applications, or when the screen turns off. Running official o2 2.1
Scratch that, rebooted my streak then tried again, works fine.

I'm confused. Two questions.
1. What makes this program a good sign for Froyo's release?
2. What is different about this from the PC suite that I use with 1.6 and came standard with the Streak for backing up the program?

1) it was on Tweeter and on Facebook (dell uk) stating that prior to receiving Froyo, backup using this app.
2) no difference, backs up the same stuff but the difference lies in the fact that this way, you don't need a pc to restore your settings.
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?
