hey there after using this fone for a wee while now i was wondering ewhich version of the site do u prefer
poll up top
coincedentally
when using the android app for facebook and if i click something on my notications bar it sends me to the www.facewbook.com
is there anyway to get it to go to touch.facebook.com
strange, it send me to touch.facebook.com
maybe check your brower settings
im assuming the prefernces are set with facebook not the browser
ok i know which one is facebook.com but which are the other two facebooks? which is the one that comes stock on the x10

Just type the address into your browser...m.facebook.com is the one displayed on mobile phones (like non-touchscreens). touch.facebook.com was made for touchscreen phones, because it has more spacing between the links and buttons.
where's the option for don't use facebook...lol

you take the green pill and wake up in another reality
I've noticed since the newest update of the official FB for android, when it redirects me through my notifications curtain, it often goes to a page not found.
i use Bloo 1.5
its better than the officional app

is if there was a facebook app (3rd party alternative) for the galaxy tab?
it seems to be gone from the market.
Friend Me for Facebook is a great app for tablets
FriendCaster Tab for Facebook is also a great app, but it is still Beta and crashes a lot.
Personally I'm FriendCaster Tab for now and it has a lot of nice features
I have no problem just using the full FB website on my Tab.
Same as tried friendcaste and friend me but not complete so just use the web

Great post! Never even thought about using the web. Will try that
No matter what you use, the full site, the mobile site, or the sideloaded phone app...it is near impossible to tag people properly (just one complaint). In the full site you click a pic and it opens in that theater/lightbox popup thingy over the page, and if you click on the pic to tag, the tagging prompt opens but then when you click in it to start typing a name, it just goes away and you have to start again. You can never really get it. And I don't think the app lets you tag at all.
I am still in utter disbelief that there is no official Android tablet Facebook app. I mean, what's the holdup? Isn't this at the top of someone's (Facebook and/or Google/Android) to-do list?? I just don't understand.....it's been months now...

uhh, It should be pointed out that there is no official Facebook app for the iPad either.
I paid for friendcaster and loved it, I even used it on my phone over the official Facebook app but the last update ruined it for me on both devices. The news feed will leave stuff out and now on my tab I can't connect it to my contacts. I also have heywire texting app and it would pull the pictures from the contacts so I could see a pic of the person I am texting instead of just a name. Also when I click a photo someone posted it will load a completely different photo from the album.
I hope it gets work out in a new update, I finally paid for the app and less than a week later the update hit so for now I just go to the site.

How are you able to use chat?

Two ways to do this...
1. With stock browser, everytime you open it you have to change the browser settings to desktop mode. This is handled in other forums and is really a pain in the butt because the settings don't stick.
2. Download for free one of the other browsers from the market, I use dolphin for pad. In the settings you can have it permanently set to desktop mode. This allows for the chat to show up on the website as if you were on a computer.
I personally use the website to check my stuff and use one of two free apps for chatting. Either go chat or the friendcaster chat.

So I used to run the desktop ua mod and I could see the chat in the stock browser. My problem, however, is that after typing I am unable to send the message. Pressing enter just clears out the text and nothing seems to get sent.
Same thing when I try dolphin or opera

[Q] Android2.3: Web pages load in "Mobile version"; how to change that to standard ??
When I open a web page it goes to the "mobile version" by default
(google, engadget, etc)

Other phones have the option in "settings" to load mobile versions or not
How can thaat be changed ??
I want stock, standard web pages

some sites will not load the desktop version on a phone. there are ways to bypass but the ones i have found have been a bit intermitent...
but that process worked for me for most sites
Pvy.
I have an HTC desire Z too, and it opens web pages standard right out of the box, so it must be some configuration issue
Changing the user agent only works on some sites no matter which browser I use. The question is how do these sites know? And why can't what ever is used to detect a phone be changed with the user agent? It's really annoying when some mobile sites are so bad and won't change when the user agent is changed.

It gets really annoying that even when I get a single picture in a text, it plays it like a slideshow. Is there any fix for this, or any other way to disable it?
Aside from getting Handcent or GOSms that is.
Running CM9 btw.
Might want to post in the cm9 thread that you're using. It might be a bug with the rom that the developer could fix.
Nah, it's like that in every rom I've used. It's not a bug, its a "feature" of Android.

Not a feature in any android rom I've used. Never have I gotten a single pic come thru as a slideshow on stock messaging or handcent.
You can long press on the message and press on download attachments. Then you could watch the pictures full sized on the gallery without any forced slideshow. I know it doesnt really fix things, but it's the workaround I use.

Everywhere I've seen, even for other phones as well, single pictures play back as slide shows for people, where you click the picture icon, and a play, next, and previous icon show up at the bottom.

That's strange cuz I click on the pic and it asks which viewer I want to use when opening.
I've tried everything! Different browsers, settings within FB, even disabled FB app.
Any help will be appreciated..
I'm having the same issue. I use dolphin and it's set to desktop. Then in browser I open Facebook.com and go to bottom left and click desktop and it keeps reverting back to mobile version.
I use Opera Mobile. Have the options set to desktop. Facebook comes up just as it would on my laptop. Never shows the mobile version.
Opera Mobile settings...Settings>Advanced>User Agent

I use Dolphin too. UNFORTUNATELY, you'll have to toggle the desktop top switch every time the mobile version tries to load.
1. Load the Facebook page.
2. When you see m.facebook.com in the browser, immediately stop the load.
3. Toggle the desktop switch to Android mode and then right back to Desktop mode.
4. Type the letter 'F' which should pull up the desktop version of Facebook if you were ever able to access it. If not, go into the browser bar and edit out the 'm.' in the mobile Facebook web address and then load the page.
Change from mob
You have to open your browser and open the menu. Make sure that view desktop site has a check next to it.

Try using Google Chrome. It's not as feature packed or convenient like Dolphin, but it won't give you Facebook mobile issues either.

It has nothing to do with the phone itself. It's facebook's ungodly coding that causes the issue. It probably isn't triggering a cookie that reminds the site to load in desktop version. You can confirm this by trying to do the same on any other mobile site (try Android Police) you'll see it sticks
What will work 100% of the time is what someone mentioned above: setting your user agent (if your browser allows you to) as something like Mozilla. This tricks the website into thinking you're on desktop and never even knows you're on a mobile site.
I downloaded Opera browser as suggested above and I don't have any problems anymore.
Opera browser is pretty sweet BTW

I think the issue is either with the phone or SENSE. I still have my EVO 3D and the Samsung Galaxy S2. Both of those phones are still running on Gingerbread and neither one of them have Facebook mobile issues.

"Long press contacts in the New Hangout screen to hide them."

Same issue here.
Unfortunately even ROM reinstall couldn't fix it, so I guess Google stores it online, but I didn't see an unhide option.
Does anyone found a solution?
Anybody got an update on this? I tested the hide option on my WIFE and can't get her back! yeah, I can type her name in and create a new hangout, but that's a lot more effort while driving than simply hitting a big icon of her face!
Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't found an option to this. I think it's pathetic.
Me neither. I really dislike hangout. Beside that stupid bug, since I installed hangout even when I don't have any nerwork, I'm considered online 24/7 to people even when I just wish to be left alone and not be reachable offline. I checked there is a hangout/gtalk session that stay active 24/7 I tried the tricks to kill it with pilgrim but it comes back.
This is really uncomfortable. I sometimes just wish to be offline or invisible, I'm actually thinking of disabling definitely gtalk/hangout...

For the hide issue, I think it is same as removing in older gtalk version. You have to invite that person again to unhide him/her.

I don't think so, because on PC I'm using the old google talk client and the friend who i accidentally hid in hangouts is still visible in my contact list as online.

Have you tried inviting her again with hangout? I don't use hang out, so I can't be sure, but I think there must be a way to readd, if not unhide, your contact.

There is no readd because he is in my contact list (phonebook, gtalk) just hidden from the recent hangout list. I can send a message too and vica-versa.
It's not a big issue for me, I just think it's pathetic that there is a hide option, but no unhide or manage hidden contacts or something.

I just tried that but the ghost idle away session is still active even after disconecting from app. And l checked in gmail the other active session button and made sure to disconect them all. But I'm still 24/7 idle away. I hate that, specially right now where I really don't want people to see me or try to contact me. I have to block them so that they don't see me online it's pathetic ! Like hunfatal said. F... hangout.
I have the same issue and it does not appear that google implemented a way to unhide them.
