Hi,
To all Prime owners,
How is the official Facebook app running on Transforme Prime?
Is fully tablet optimized?
Or a bit optimized?
Or not at all?
Please if you can post screenshot of the news feed in landscape mode.
Thanks
PS: I am not interested in Friendly nor FriendCaster.
Facebook is Tablet optimized. It looks just like the iOS version.
Its laggy and choppy for me. I find the desktop version works well on Opera.
Maybe I downloaded the wrong one... but facebook does not look tablet optimized to me. Looks identical to the phone version... but with lots of white space. Is there another version?

Yeah I think there is only one apk...runs pretty crappy if you're trying to zip through the interface.

No tablet version yet. I just go to browser desktop version.

There's an app on the market called "friend me" works very well with the prime
it also lets you play flash games on fb haven't tired the flash games since i never play fb games
Ive been using friend me as well, the facebook application is the mobile version, it just looks 'OK' on the transformer, its not a tablet version (check the ipad version out thats how it should be).
Tweetcomb for twitter is best i've found to, very similar to tweetdeck for pc's
There are too many apps that should have a tablet version but don't (tv guide . co . uk for example - great on ipad, crap on honeycomb)

Problem is, Friend Me and Tweetcomb dont have push notifications.
Try Friendcaster or Friendcaster Pro in market. It has notifications. Don't get the Friendcaster Tab beta as it has ended and the features are integrated in the other versions.
I am running Friendcaster Pro and love it.. Works very well!

All firefox android browsers have been bad so far. How is this one? I just use stock, and it's been great!
A tried the alpha version a while ago and it didnt do a hting. I know this is an upgrade but i dont want to bother til i see some feedback. SkyFire works well but it could be a bit faster. Opera is faster but posting on forums is more of a pain on that one.
Works fine for me been using it for about 4 days now, some of the addons are tempermental but just install them as you go.

I used this a while back. Every time I loaded a page, it crashed, and not just the app, but the entire phone. After my 10th battery pull, I uninstalled it.
Incidentally, I tried downloading it again a couple of weeks (and a couple of ROM updates) later, with the same results.

To go off topic a bit.
Any ideas of other tablety Apps that suit the Vega from other tablets?
For eg the three nook colour games chess, sudoku, and crossword.
Anyhoo ta for the office app!
Ive been waiting for something like this for ages
its a great app, finally an excuse to take my tablet into meetings at work

It is not a zip, it is an APK if you have it as a .zip then rename it to a .apk or use a better browser to download the file.
Thanks for posting this, great app.
Just installed, worked great. Google Docs + Dropbox support = awesome~
Thanks!
Will try this when I get home, but I have a quick question in the meantime.
I have the paid version of Quick Office, do you think I can use the paid features with this apk, like creating a new office document?

Does it look like the screenshots that are in the market?? I use Document to go 3, but I have noticed that is look better on phones than in tablets...
The QuickOffice HD apk on this thread is like the paid version, has all the features included. The only reason this apk is here is because for whatever reason QuickOffice still have not released a paid for version of this tablet specific app.
Normal QuickOffice is designed just for phones, this is a tablet special version.
Thanks for this. Works very well.
Just got extra brownie points after installing this on the other halfs Vega!
This is great for the vega, the dropbox/google docs link is such a great feature! What about the other Norton Ink apps...are they any good on the vega?
If this keybaord/mouse/stand combo works on the vega...it would be perfect for editing on the go!

I believe this is now in the market as a paid for app, if someone can confirm then I will remove the link in the first post as it will now be in breach of xda's rules.

There's a quick office pro HD in the market place.
Not sure what the differences are, other than the version I tried can't be installed on anything other than Android 3.0

Thanks. I've been told samsung galaxy phone owners get this for free.
Does the normal quick office not stretch then... or do you need the HD version
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA
HD version is much better optimized for tablets (from UI perspective).
You get to see more options right away, but apart from that Pro and HD should be the same.
I'm currently using Pro version on my tablet, because I'm still in Froyo, but I also got a HD v1.0.1 that worked in Froyo, but was full of bugs.
It looks like that Samsung has released a new version of the Samsung Car Home and Dock Home Apps that would not work after the 2.2 Upgrade. The problem, for me, is that the Google Market reads my carrier at AT&T and thus won't let me install because it is "Not Available for my Carrier."

I will not start begin a tirade into why this single requirement is a determinate for what apps I can and cannot download on my device. Anyone who uses XDA has, more or less, decided that freedom > control. If anyone can post up the APK's I would really appreciate it -- I don't know any other way to get these apps. Thanks all!

Thank you sooo much - wasn't getting anywhere with finding these or the Google Car Home app (AppBrain has Google Car Home listed in it's market, but if you try to download it re-directs to the Google Market & gives a not found message).
Now off to mod a USB lead to trigger the Car Dock automatically...
I managed to download these from Samsung Apps, but the Desk Home keeps force closing when i try to select the city. Is this happening for anyone else?

Force closes add city for me too on darkys 10.1 jvh - firmware 2.2.3
Wow, Google's Car Home is much better. This one you can't add any custom icons to the launcher AT ALL. Unfortunately neither this one nor the Google one shows up in the market for me, and I have no idea why (on T-Mobile, and they don't even show up when using an official ROM)...
Attached to this post is the Google CarHome app version 2.2.1.4. Both files need to be pushed to /system/apk to work.
If anyone, of course, has a NEWER version, that would be awesome.

Didn't look like it was made for tablets when looking at the first page. Restored the previous version.

Same Market version is included with Motorola Xoom 4G latest update so it surely is made to work on tablets.
For some reason it installs as a separate market app on my GT10.1 so i have two Market icons now.
I think i'm going to root and push the apk and odex files from the Xoom update.
When I start the apk it says that my current version is 5.0.X. When comparing the version number to what I have installed it looks like it "updates" My Apps. After updating I also have two Android Markeds.
You guys also have this problem?
If you just install the apk then you will end up with two Markets.
I deleted the old Vending.apk from system/app folder, renamed the market 3.1.5 apk to Vending.apk and copied it to system/apk folder. Now it shows only one Market icon, but if i look in settings under all applications it still shows two versions installed. Don't know why it does this.
I mainly need/want the new Market because it has a feature to set password to make a purchase in Market. My 3 year old son plays with the tablet and i don't want to always look over his shoulder to check that he doesn't buy something.
Won't the apk update our existing market? Sounds too bit a hassle to manage 2 markets at the same time.
That's the problem. It doesn't. Installs a new Market.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I installed this new market and ended up with two markets in my apps list. I don't know if this 3.1.5 version is for tablets. Our version is 1.0.28. This new one seems like it's numbered for use on phones. My market on my phone is 3.0.xx
Works very smooth and fast on BroodComb V2. Replace existing vending.apk with this market apk using Root explorer, install and reboot.

On my Galaxy Nexus, both the Facebook app and m.facebook.com present the full "Timeline" view with cover photo and links to About, Photos, Friends, Likes.
On my Springboard (running ICS and "high resolution" mode), I get a pared-down view with only cover photo, buttons for friending and messaging, write post and share photo. I am not able to browse any other aspects of one's profile unless I load the desktop page.
Any idea why Facebook has LESS features on a tablet than on a phone? Has anyone managed to force the full mobile Timeline view to work?
Don't know what would make the difference. They both come up the same on my phone and springboard. Have you tried Friendcaster though? Way better then thee actual Facebook app.
Okay screenshots. Here is the public profile of a local politician who I haven't friended, but her permissions allow lots to be shown on her profile so she makes a good example.

When I do the same for people who *are* my friends, I get the wall with no links to About, Photos or Friends.

Both screenshots are from the Facebook app, same version, latest from Google Play. Neither is a browser shot.
Notice in both shots there is a three-dot menu button on the taskbar. That would not be there if I were viewing it from the browser.
but touch.facebook.com looks the same like your screens....so fb app only display touch fb site
Nonetheless, the problem is that on one device it's displaying all the correct links/buttons and on the other it isn't.

It turns out that I had spoofed my device (as a galaxy note). Going back to mediapad and the Facebook app is broken again. Basically the Facebook app developer is incompetent.

There we go, that's more like it.
The thing is, our devices are the same dimensions as the Nexus 7. Chances are any app broken on ours will be broken on Nexus 7, no? Hopefully that gets the devs' asses in gear. Although if the fixes only work on JB, we're still out of luck.
Due to an unrelated matter I had to change my Facebook password. Upon signing back into Facebook, all the Timeline elements started showing up again. Strange, but happy that I finally have the full feature set again!
I have a problem with logging in to facebook with any app. It works from the browser, but friendcaster, the official facebook app, and any other application that gets news from facebook crashes when i want to login. I use cm10 rom, does anybody else have this problem?
Stock is fine. Maybe someone broke an important API in CM10?
