Facebook android.

Is there anyway to stop chat auto signing in, I find it a pain when I go to check Facebook but don't want to chat. People start chatting or send me messages when I am to busy to chat.

I went back to 1.4.0 because of this.

Just go to the chat section of Facebook for Android, tap Menu, then tap Go Offline and it'll stay that way until you enter the chat section again

Am I then offline at the pc also? So stores facebook that I am offline our only the phone?

You'll still be online at the PC, PC and Facebook app work independent from one another so to say

Try to chat on android and open facebook on your PC. Pop up window will come out and chat will be shown on both devices

THANK YOU,will try this. Hopefully it works

I find it easier to use friendstream. I rarely use the fb app so that removes the chat problem

go to settings, apps, then clear data and cache from facebook app, then download the latest facebook from market, sign in (HERE IS IMPORTANT NEVER CLICK ON THE CHAT TAB) then go to market, download facebook messenger (the official one) and log in the facebook messenger.. thats it...
when you want to be offline, just log out from the facebook messenger app with one click, and if you want to chat just log in in the facebook messenger app with just one tap, also facebook messenger app its better because you can have group chats, and send photos through it
hope this helps you

or just delete the app and use the new HTML5 mobile web interface which is great (it's like the iphone app).
Also do not forget to close all the fb session from the desktop web interface.

Same here! It's a lot better and quicker I find.
Also, I found that when I did use the App to chat it closed the the window on the PC. Don't know whether this is a new feature.
If they just updated it to make it like the HTML5 page it would be a lot better.

How to develop the app like this

Hi All
I want to create the facebook chat application like the following one
But I don't know how to do that because I am new to android development please any one help me how to do that

Are you wanting to create a standalone application for facebook chat or a chat application similar to facebook chat?
If you are wanting to create a standalone facebook chat application you will need to look into whether facebook have a chat api you can access.
If they do, start by writing a super simple android app that connects to facebook chat and retrieves some kind of data.
And go from there.

Hi athornz
I have using smack api for facebook chat but it doesn't connect to the facebook server .It always producing the error connection is not available

Have you added permission for internet access into your android manifest?
It's quite an easy one to miss and will mean you app can't get any internet access.

PUSH Notifications for Facebook Fix!

Yes! Finally we have Push notifications for Facebook AND Twitter After the new facebook update, you might have noticed you are forced to have your facebook sync every 5, 10, 30 etc. minutes? Yeah, drove me insane too. Well there is now a fix. This is not my software. But it WORKS! and thats all that matters right? Make sure you check the "Unknown Sources" tab in Settings -> Application BEFORE you download to allow you to install this app. Browse this link below on your andorid device, download the small .APK, and install. Simple as that. Let me know if it works for you! Also, follow me on twitter @rosenbachera

Very Easy to do! Go to that website on your laptop/desktop, download the apk to your desktop, connect your phone as usb storage, drag it over to the root of the storage, or a folder if you choose. then go to your android, in the app list click files, then on phone, navigate where you saved it, press on in, and voila! And after the beta is done and it goes vo ver 1.x, then hopefully on the market

seems like a good idea and will give it a try, shouldn't they put this into the Twitter and Facebook App though?
UPDATE
Get an error when confirming second password
"Sorry some error occured"
Also my Twitter and Facebook passwords are different but it only asks for email, username and password so can't enter different passwords for Twitter and Facebook?

[APP] Telegram - Windows, OS X, Web Clients

Hey guys.
First things first. I'm not the developer of any of these projects. I just found them and wanted to share them with anyone else who also recently started to use Telegram instead of Whatsapp.
If you're on Windows or OS X, you can check out their native apps in beta phase here - http://tdesktop.com/. I haven't used either of them yet, but they are in extremely active development, as new updates were added just today.
If you want to try the web client, I can vouch for it working extremely well. I use it on Linux on Chrome and it works wonderfully well. It even does Chrome notifications for new messages, and supports everything from group chats, media messaging, changing profile images, selective notifications, the whole deal. http://zhukov.github.io/webogram
Remember, all this stuff is in testing phase, but in my opinion, Telegram is in a position to make a serious change in IMing because of it's open source API strategy as opposed to Whatsapp's "phone phone phone only" system.
Enjoy!

needs a bbm client asap if it wants to really take off.
just one bbm user in a large group will affect it's likeliness to become the main messaging app for the whole group.

I would like to use this app but I can't get anyone off sms. ?

Only 1 of my friends is using it compared to 23 on WhatsApp, will keep it anyway for a bit to see if anyone else in my contact list starts to use it.

Btw. Ubuntu app is now available!

Telegram has been my favorite messaging app for months. Still trying to convert all my friends.

Telegram app has niche market for users keen to message encryption.
I noticed another app just mimic the same layout but using exactly same api, called messenger plus. (previously called telegram +). Not sure why's the different. Same phone number, allowed you to install the 2 apps....

Same dev as WhatsApp Plus, which has a long history behind it.

[APP][HOW TO] Chat on Facebook without using Messenger[Various method]

How to send messages on Facebook without installing the messenger app in Android​
Facebook, recently decided to undertake this fairly unpopular practice – while the former decoupled the check-in feature to a whole new app, called Swarm, the latter decided that its users shouldn't be able to chat from the main Facebook app anymore, but make use of the chat head-wielding Messenger instead. The latter has been allegedly gaining market share in favor of its messenger rivals, but isn't forcing it to users the main reason behind this?

Well, forced things are never highly looked upon and quite a lot of users have expressed their utter displeasure with Facebook for taking the messages away from the main app. If you're one of the distressed Facebook users, rejoice, as a workaround exists that will allow not Messenger, but your main Facebook app to handle your messages. Of course, you can always go to the mobile version of Facebook and access your messages from there, but a lot of users probably prefer to delve into one of the most popular social networks through the dedicated app.

We'll show you the ropes on how to do this, but you should have in mind that this method only works for some users. Facebook will surely find another way to force Messenger upon them in the foreseeable future, but for the time being, at least some of the users of the social network get to do things their way.
So here it goes with the method 1.)
A quick guide for those who want to use Facebook messages without downloading facebook messenger.
Step 1
Uninstall Facebook messenger (if you have it installed)
Step 2
Make sure you have Unknown sources enabled from device settings
Step 3
Install the attached apk (hello world application) or create a new (empty) android project with the package name com.facebook.orca
As long as the only validation that the facebook app does is checking to find if an app with package name com.facebook.orca is installed on the phone this should work
Thanks to @nemoc 23 For his guide
I'll attach the Messenger.apk in the attachment too.you can download from there too
Method 2.) [For Non-Rooted Device]
Make sure you have Facebook official app already installed in your smartphone (no need to root), and if the Facebook app is not allowing you to chat with your friends, then try to download the Facebook messenger initially from Google play store, here is the tricky part, before completing the download (100%) cancel the downloading of Facebook messenger (make sure it’s not installing) and yeah, you are ready to use the official Facebook app again to chat with your friends, give a try and tell us if it’s working for you or not!
Method 3).[For rooted device]
STEP 1: Download the official Facebook Messenger App from Play Store.
STEP 2: Download “TITANIUM BACKUP” or “DISABLE APPLICATION” App from Play Store
STEP 3: Open Titanium Backup and give it ROOT privileges. Scroll down to Messenger App
STEP 4: Select the Messenger App which will result in a dialog box to open up. Hit the “FREEZE” button which will freeze the application eventually.
STEP 5: Once the app is freezed it will be highlighted in blue tint color.
STEP 6: Now open the Facebook App and go to the Messages section of it.
STEP 7: Choose the person you want to chat with and you are good to go!
Enjoy the freedom until it lasts! Feel free to let us know if there are any other method and we will update this post with those methods too!
