Facebook for Android 1.6 is up in the market... - EVO 4G General

...and frankly I'm not understanding what the hub-bub was about with the "closed beta" and "zomg it's gonna be significantly better"
Looks the exact same, same functionality, except that you can upload video's and go to pages...
Lame as usual.

I never have liked the FB app. I just use the browser instead.

Hah and now you can't view what people post on a wall, only that pages posts.
(Example: you can't see what people post on the NHL fan page, only what the NHL posts on its wall)
Facebook has some terrible developers.

dam, i never updated to 1.54 lol

The social networking apps on android suck as compared to iPhone i.e twitter, Facebook, etc. They're just half assed ports smh.

Yeah but there was this "closed beta" and promise of "great improvements" to the app....and then the update is....the usual nothing.
Hell, push notifications have never even worked for me.

The update sucks. I just reverted back to my old one. You lose the ability to search everyone, you can only search the friends you have and the friend requests you've been sent. Super lame.

Steve Jobs has to be paying the app devs @Facebook off cuz the iPhone app is & has always been 1000x better than our Android app SMDH!!!!

New Twitter Is Out

That is all
And its got bugs, bugs, bugs. I have 3 tweets stuck at the top that I can't get rid of, refreshing barely works Ans gets stuck, and 'find your contacts on twitter' unfollowed all of the contacts I was already following. Fml. Haha.
Oh, and the back button exits to the home screen way to easily on a lot of things. I think they forgot to actually test this with anybody outside of the company's android users, all 6 of them. LOL.

got a email from sprint about the new Qik

and thought i should share
I'll copy and paste everything cause im lazy
Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!
LOL @ Qik'king
I'm going to start a micro-blogging site to compete with twitter and call it kweef (yes you read correctly). People will see you on your phone and ask what are you doing; you'll simply say "I'm kweefing". I will have the whole world kweefing soon *evil laugh*. It will support 200 char instead of 160

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.
Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.

Go back and forth from the news feed a few times; if that doesn't work, restart/FC the app. When it does happen, you'll think that the app is about to FC on you when you go to the news feed.

I received the update. Do not care for it much. Its basically the mobile web page.
Minor tweaks. Definitely not worthy of its own thread.
Its happening guys, just be patient. I doubt there is anyone to manually help it along anyways.
I got it too, I'll try and post a pic.

Jelly Bean Search vs. Siri!

I can't wait till we see this on the Vibrant. Check this out!
I honestly do not think their comparable.
Siri still has a + side to it, for example you can ask it something in any way you want to and it will reply, Google Now does not, yet anyways.
Anything else, Google Now has done better so far, organization, information, etc.
Sir I seems more life like but information providing is not that great but with Now you have to say it like you are googling it
