Ok, is it just my dislike for HTC and their hidden agenda or has there always been a disclaimer from them claiming in order to access your Facebook account they need access?

It's for the facebook for sense app. I use that to upload pics and video. It's more stable than the fb app itself.

i think its more of like giving permission for it to access your face book info since its a third party app and not face book itself you have to give permission for it to access that info even though you have signed in.Kind of like a facebook quiz that needs certain permissions.

I use this as well. It can run a little slow but It could be because of all the accounts it has to sync. 4 CC, 2 bank accounts, EBay, Amazome, and others.
Clearcheckbook is a get app. I would recommend to everyone.

I'm confused as to why its not integrated into the main app. :/
Silly Facebook, developers... Just fix the notifications/instant updates.

So I can only get it from the new market? BRB, installing new market...

Nevermind. I found it on market.android.com and just pushed the installation to my phone that way. Not sure how this is any good at all, though.
I have it difference idk they released for the iPhone as well and you can sent pics so I'm guessing is like a blackberry messenger lol

WHY DO WE LIKE IT? It's weird to think that this can be a standalone app apart from the clusterzuck that Facebook can be but, well, it really can. It's as good as GroupMe or Kik or WhatsApp in the sense that you're chatting with friends without racking up SMS charges but it's better than those services because most people have Facebook accounts and don't need to sign up for a new service. It's easy to add buddies to chat (through their Facebook account or phone number), almost scary easy to attach your location to each message and less complicated than GroupMe to start a group chat.
Even if you hate Facebook, you don't hate your friends right? The Facebook-ness of the app is invisible enough that even the most anti-Facebook guy will have to admit this is actually decent. Seriously, strip the Facebook away and what you get is a messaging app that your friends have already signed up for. Why not try?

There's built in chat in the Facebook app, been that way for a while now guys...granted their notifications aren't working right for most people but the chat works just fine.
side note: are they gonna fix multi-quote on these boards soon? some problem with ad-block?
Could one of you share the apk, it's telling me a dumb error like my phone is not compatible and does the same for the official facebook app ....

SEE POST 4 FOR MY SMALL RESERARCH AND PROBLEMS SOLVED.
I've been trying to find out where this is located on this phone. When I used sense 4 Rom on my rezound it was right there in the accounts and sync. I know it was supposed to be included with sense 4 and all the reviews I see show it on there. Did we get hosed or am I missing something?
Sent from my ADR6410LVW using xda premium
I have never seen these included in a stock rom. They are both downloadable from the market though.
While it's not in my list of apps, if you go to the list of apps under Settings -> Apps, there is a listing for 'Dropbox for HTC Sense' and 'HtcDropbox_GLRPlugin'. Can't figure out how to access it. More than likely, it adds on to the Dropbox experience when you download the Dropbox app. I haven't tried it since I don't use Dropbox or any other cloud service.
I haven't downloaded dropbox yet so I will try that.

That is HTC's sense page. I guess only the One X got it....of course. The rezound ICS I believe was part One X so maybe that explains it. Seems a few of the reviews I've seen for this phone showed it as an option, but maybe they just assumed since it was shown as a part of sense. That was an exciting aspect for me because I use it a lot, but it isn't crucial.
As far as using a 3rd party app. I have some photos on there that I would rather not risk a sneaky developer getting his hands on ;c)
EDIT: At the very bottom it says check with provider so see if they offer skydrive on your device. I'm sure that Verizon had their grubby hands in it.
2ND EDIT: Okay, I downloaded dropbox and now it syncs in my albums and shows under accounts and sync. Now if I could only get skydrive working.
FINAL EDIT: I've had no luck on the skydrive integration. It was very nice to have but it also seems that it was removed from the at&t version One X. On a better note I have descovered that ES File Explorer syncs very nice with skydrive and other cloud services.

After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.

I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!

I don't post often because I usually do some searching and find my answer. Not the case this time.
When I had an iPhone I was annoyed that it was not possible to choose defaults to override certain functions. For instance, you can't change the default browser. That's just one example, but there are many more.
After switching to android I thought I'd be all set. And for the most part I am. However, I still have not figured out how to modify one behavior that's bothering me: control of what happens when hyperlinks are clicked. The particular example I am thinking of right now is eBay.
I have the eBay app installed. So, whenever I click an eBay link - whether it's in a browser, an email, or another app - I want it to open the eBay app. I don't ever want it to open the eBay web page in the browser. Same goes for all the other apps I have installed. Another example - using the xda app. If I have the xda app installed and I get an email that includes a link to a thread here on xda, I want to view it in the xda app, not in a browser. Ever.
How do I make sure this behavior always works the way it should? It appears that some apps will ask what behavior you want to use as default. But that doesn't seem to work 100%. Our the setting isn't sticking. I don't know.
its not androids fault, its the app/web developers... tumblr makes great use of defaults but no other app seems to...

Is it a limitation caused by the "from" app or the "to" app?
For instance, I just got an email that there was a reply to this thread. When I click on the link in the Gmail app, there is no option to use the xda forum app to open the link. Is that a fault of the Gmail app, or the xda app?
I'd say the "to" app. I use tapatalk and any xda link gives me the option to open the forum in the app
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Xparent BlueTapatalk 2
I say its both both sides can be programmed to do it. the app can intercept links and webpages can add app specific buttons
tumblr has app specific buttons (open in app) and YouTube intercepts most links (thus when you click a YouTube link the app opens)
