I didn't see a thread on this but last night I noticed I was able to download the Facebook app to my 10.1 and it works fine, albeit it looks simply like a very stretched version of the phone application. It does work, though, and fairly well at that.
yup. Works fine!
I installed it and it worked for a bit but now its useless
It's still garbage... I've sideloaded a few older versions plus the latest version from the market and its still just basic at best.
Still haven't fixed the FC everytime you try to go to your friends list.

Yeah, but typing replies is a pain in the butt. We need MyPad ported from the iOS
Friendcaster works better now since they got rid of the Tab beta version but they've basically reverted to an over-sized phone UI instead of the immensely superior split-screen set-up the beta had.
I'm hoping the next update to the proper version will re-introduce the better Tab-oriented UI.

If you don't mind me asking, what version are you running?
I've got 3.20.2 and even with the 'enlarged UI mode' checked in the settings, it just makes it look like the phone version but bigger.

Agreed. I have the newest friendcaster app direct from the market (not the tab beta version) and it auto detected mine was a tab on install and installed the tab version. It looks like my version is 3.20.2
Uploaded to dropbox for you although you should be able to get from market.

Yep, 3.20.2 here also. Works well.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
Huh, weird.
I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now I see the proper UI...
The only thing bugging me about the new Friendcaster is the ad at the bottom. Actually, there is never an ad there, it just says "Click here to disable ads for thirty days!" It takes me to a broken link. I would love to share Fridnscaster to get rid of this ad, but I guess we have to live with it for now.
(That link worked in the Tab beta version.)

I updated the app a couple nights ago and now it wont open and load anything, it hangs and then force closes everytime. I've uninstallled and reinstalled and it will allow me to login and it will work fine right up until I close the app and reopen it.
Any thoughts?
Had the same problem. I ended up reverting to the previous version with a backup.
Crashes for me too. I also went to a backup. Not sure what is that last version to work. My backup was from a month ago.
Mine too on CM7 Nightly 177 booting off an SD card. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
Have you fixed permissions? It runs fine for me,not a fan of it but it works.

Seems like the app is crashing when it tries to find your location using the (non-existant) GPS. Is there some way to inject a fake GPS position?
Install tetherGPS lite and start the client, it spoofs the app into thinking there is a GPS signal. Recent check ins load fine with this fix.

Why would you post this?
As of nightly 212, there is no built-in ability to fake GPS. This was never any mention of that ability on any changelog, and it certainly wasn't sneaked in or anything.
Facebook still attempts to access GPS and force-closes as of nightly 212 / October 6th (I'm guessing it is an incorrect or simply unhandled exception. Facebook for both Android and iOS are famous for having terrible programmers).
A fake GPS program is still required to use Facebook.
The Facebook app goes from bad to worse. Uninstalled.
Is there any other fix that doesn't require me to start the gps client every time before wanting to use facebook? What is the latest version of facebook I can get that will function fine without a silly work around? 1.6.?
Does anybody else get a fc when you search or click on friends? Just want to check before a factory reset

This seems to be a bit of a drawback with Android apps - they don't work aswell as ipad apps. There seems to be a lot of trial and error, whereas from what I've heard and seen (on my iphone), the Apple apps just work.
I still can't get past the lack of Flash on the ipad though, so I'll have to forgive Android's shortcomings...
I got the same problem a week ago.
then i updated my android version from 3.2 to 3.2.1 and the Facebook App stopped to work at all.
it only opens, but no info shows up.
I'm using tweetdeck right now

100% of the time same problem here. I don't think wasting your time with a factory reset will do anything...
Just a quick look at it. DONT LOAD THIS!
I don't see any reason why you shouldn't load this. Other than wifi not working, you might as well if you want. It's super stable and fast as hell.
Is it just me or is the launcher the one from the phone? I don't see the standard "honeycomb/tablet" style launcher besides the status bar.

Long pressing the homescreen doesn't bring up the overview and widget dragging utilities.

it's weird cuz when I manually search for the app Chrome Beta it only finds the regular Chrome. I found a link on Android Police I think and they had the google play store link for the app.
edit: btw Chrome Beta is much faster with ICS. I'm on Ineffabilis Deus 1.2 ICS 4.0.3
Has anyone been able to get Beta to work recently? I have never gotten it to, and am mostly running Neo's Roms. It installs, lets me login, but then closes without any warning. Just curious what other people are experiencing. Link for Beta since it hides when you search for it in case you want to try it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chrome.beta
You should (or at least this is how I was doing it) be able to see them if you search online at the play store... Then just downloaded it whichever device you want to use it on

Thanks, yes the XDA ads nowadays are massive and slow the heck out of page loading. Huge 300 x 600 px one on my desktop is a pain, always some flash movie ad thing.
Downloaded the 64-bit one. Which one is right for the G4? 64=bit seems to work fine though, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I installed the arm64 version and I'm blown away with the speed and smoothness of this browser. When someone else said it was like night and day they wasnt kidding.
If you don't get this ad free version of chrome then you must need your head examining. Less data, still sync bookmarks, passwords, data etc and no ads resulting in fast as hell browsing. I'm blown away by this browser.
Thanks for sharing this.
Any difference really between this and using the hosts file with AdAway?
i dl and compare!

I don't see any difference in loadingtime with this and chrome+adaway!
