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

Hi All,
First of all, I am not opening this thread because I did not do my homework. I did.
I have tried searching on Internet but seems there isn't really a solution yet. A lot of people recommend Download All Files, Blackmoon etc... but the real issue here is that from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, there is NOT even a Preview button for the .zip attachment so non of those apps will work. It means, there no button at all for you to 'act' on the .zip attachment, you just see the filename with a paper clip, no Preview, no Info, no Download, no option from the menu etc.
I would appreciate if there is any other working methods besides a third party email client.
Thanks.
Bert
No "working method" that I'm aware of. I use K9 Mail with GMail. Problem solved.
Edit to add - You could always access GMail thru a browser rather than the ****ty app & view/save your attachments that way. I just tested this with Firefox 9 & it works fine. So there's two options for you.
I use it manually via firefox browser or opera mobile

Hi,
Please tell me how to get rid of the god-awful slow texting app that comes with this phone, and replace it with the stock android texting app.
Thanks!
Are you referring to the AT&T messages app? 'Cause the SMS app that comes stock works fine for me :/
Stock messages app works fine for me. If you have root you may be able to find differnt message apps, but my first suggestion is to give handcent a try as it is my go to sms app for when I'm having issues with cusom ROMs being buggy with mms. Its got a threaded look to it, much like iphone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwxLDIxMiwiY29tLmhhbmRjZW50Lm5leHRzbXMiXQ..
It also has font packs and other stuff on the app store.

I far prefer GO SMS Pro, love the interface and features, but with all the third-party SMS apps I have an issue of double and triple texts being sent to people. I agree the Samsung SMS app is painfully slow. I hate using it, but it's my only choice because it doesn't send out duplicate texts. :/

Thats very odd, I've never got complaint of this. Have you googled the issue to see if there is a known solution or work around? As common as these apps are you can't possibly be the only one misfortunate enough to experience this. I have had issues in the past getting numerous notifications despite turning native notifications off for SMS, but thats an entirely different issue.
How do i replace the Samsung message app with the vanilla android one? The Samsung one is slow and is a failed attempt at copying iphone. The keyboard even blocks the send button!

Google is your friend to find an mms.apk. you need to be rooted. And have root explorer and a little knowledge

Mostly I see people on ICS complaining about this issue, but there are several people on GB complaining about it as well, for both GO SMS and Handcent and a few others on Google Play.
I had the duplicate notification issue with Handcent - even though I had disabled notifications for the stock app AND frozen it. Didn't have that problem with GO SMS. Had an odd problem when I tried Chomp SMS, where all incoming messages were anonymous and upon trying to view them, the message couldn't be found. That even happened in the stock app, so long as I had Chomp installed. Uninstalling fixed that issue immediately.
But so far as I can tell, some people just have the problem, and most don't. I have yet to see a reply from any of the devs about the issue. I've tried completely resetting the phone to factory spec but I still got the duplicate message issue.
I really, REALLY want to use GO SMS. Although something else I noticed is that some people's messages were being sent to the wrong contacts... Perhaps I'll try the vanilla Android apk...
How do you try the vanilla android apk?

This is the ics messenger app, you can try it without needing root.

Thanks but I don't really want a third party version with ads. I don't get it...isn't there a plain messaging app that comes with android (like what was on the nexus one), or is it proprietary to every device? It seems like this shouldn't be such a difficult thing to install instead of the crappy samsung one. Am I missing something?
i'm surprised. the sms app is not bad i'm the note. I've seen worse. (though i am using the rogers version)
I'm coming from a rooted Inspire 4G (cyanogen) and I've noticed that the texting on the Samsung Messaging app is a bit sluggish. And some keys don't respond to my fast fingers.. Yet the app itself runs very fast (ie open app, open threads, go back, etc).
One thing I did was uninstall Swype through Titanium and I think I've noticed a difference in the keyboard speed. It may just be my imagination though

The same here. Maybe deleting the application data in the application manager could fix it.

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.

This is annoying, I hate the Hangouts. Google Talk was much better.
Anyone know a good contacts and/or dialler app.
I am trying to get one that will let me "copy" a phone number easily from the call list.
Cant get an easy work around in the stock dialler/contacts app. Its a right chew on.
In my job I have to add new customers phone number that have rang me on straight to my Splanner.
Any help thx?
I think Ready Contact List is what you are looking for. Right when you hang up you get many choices including saving the number,calling again,sending a message etc.

It can but require 1 more step
Long press log -menu -send -it will be pasted to messaging field and now you can copy with finger from message field

Pixelphone pro is the best dialer for sure.
Love it.
So many options including copy and paste.
So nice design too

Truedialer by Truecaller the best for me.
Got pixel phone! It's brilliant. Love the way I can add the number to an S planner appointment...
I like the glossy teme.
But I guess you have seen all the settings.
Alter the way things shall work the best way for you.
I always go that way to send SMS.
So easy to find name or put in numbers and just hit or slide to go directly to write SMS.
So much better to find names and number.
I love the way it find contacts you have used before.
Only one or two buttons and you are there.
