Has anyone else been having a horrible experience with the Facebook app, force closes, data dropping off etc.

I had data drop ..had to reboot each time. Deleted the damn app. I just use the browser for Facebook.

Nope. But it's a known culprit for being a huge battery waster. I'd say cut your loses and freeze it. There's better alternatives on the market.

Before last year I was an iPhone user, nothing will ever compare to the FB app for the iPhone. And yeah the one for Android is so much fail it's not even funny anymore.
Friendcaster is way better than the fb apps.

Back when I had the captivate, the facebook app crashed incessantly. With the GII, however, I haven't had it crash even once.
I usually remove the one in /system and install it from Market.
The current version is MUCH better than it was in early 2011. I've only had it go nuts on the wakelocks once.

I have been using Friendcaster Pro ever since a couple weeks after buying my Infuse back in June, and will be using it when I get my SGS2 today. Way better app. The last major update even added a dark theme which made me love it even more.
Facebook app always sucked.
Is the only difference between pro and free the ads?

facebook for the sgs2 is one of the better experiences. other phones have more problems than ours. granted i still hate it. it kills the battery, is unreliable with notifications, unintuitive, and just complete and utter crap
How do notifications in friend caster work. please tell me they arent email based.

The facebook app on iphone is a joke. If you try to view a picture from someone 50% of the time it won't load the same picture you clicked on, and when it does load the right one and you comment on it, it leaves the comment on a completely different picture.

^ I too am using push and it works quite well.
Is there anyway on the Photon to have the Email or Messaging widget show the number of unread emails on it (like in Sense)? I can get a preview of the email's contents, but I just want a number on it of how many there are.
Maybe try this? I haven't done it but it's worth a shot.

I've considered K-9, but have seen too many reports of instability. Sense has a regular email icon with uncount number on it -- why can't there be one for the Photon too?

Lol yea I came from an Evo too..
just loved that Sense,its a no go with the mopho though
I have been using k9 for over a year now and in earlier vs. Yea it had some issues, but the past 4-5 months its been rock solid for me. Even overseas.
There is also another app on the market call email widget pro I think it cost a dollar though. It will give you an unread count widget to your native email apk.
But the icon is so darn ugly

When you say "email widget pro" I assume you mean this one https://market.android.com/details?id=de.foobarsoft.emailwidget&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImRlLmZvb2JhcnNvZnQuZW1haWx3aWRnZXQiXQ.. that I found in the Market for $1.92.
However, it says in the description "* Motorolla (Droid/DroidX/Defy...) only with root (please read additional info on my website! )".
I am talking about using it on a Photon which is NOT rooted. Do you know if it will work on that?

Worst case scenario you could buy it and test within the 15 minute refund window. If it doesn't work just get a refund.

Blackberry sems to be the only one with a reliable + official Facebook app from my experience.
And that phone is for dinosaurs.
Neither my iPod Touch 4 or EVO gets them consistently.
The facebook app is an embarrassment to that company. I truly can't believe they havent done something about it. Google+ has one of the best looking and functioning mobile apps I have personally ever used, fb should take notes.

The FB app sucked on the OG EVO. It's not the phone. It's ridiculous that a website of that stature has such a crappy app.
I agree, the app is so slow I usually just give up before the content is fully loaded and turn on my computer haha.
Slow as hell on my One X aswell, almost bought an s3 in a rage
You would figure for a multi billion dollar company they could do a simple app. It worked way better before they added everything. I normally go through the browser anyways. I don't need up to date notifications but if you did why not turn on text notification? I mean you get unlimited texts anyways.

Funny you mention that. I haven't noticed any ads on the mobile version and I figure they just use our data as "payment". Overall I kind of want to ween off of Facebook. I feel they sold out just at the right time.

Ww need a new social network. Every dog has it's day, and maybe Facebook has had theirs? Although it should be a network defined by it's users, not controlled by profit and exposure.
FYI, the facebook app for Blackberry is actually made by RIM, but with facebook's support. That's why it doesn't suck as bad.
Also, facebook's app on iOS (both iPhones and iPads) suck. Countless mistakes and bugs and they never update it either. I usually just end up using the mobile web version of it.
They have no real mobile strategy. That's why the stock is crapping out. If they had a plan to make $$$ off a mobile platform they might care about its quality and ability to draw customers for advertisers.

At least with Sense's Friendstream, Facebook at least seems functional (to a degree).
Google+ is great, just none of my friends are on it lol, but it does things Facebook wish it could do. I love the messenger on G+. While trying to use Facebook's, snail mail may be a more effective use of time lol.
Sorry for the bad quote, I wish the XDA app would work better with my Transformer :banghead:

That's a bit much, don't you think. There are apps I'm sure to forward txts and number dialled. Not what URLs are typed I wouldn't have thought. I'll have a look and post back. You can also get GPS location apps which are hidden too... Sounds freaky and wrong all this.

GPS Spy MobileGPSpy and Secret SMS Replicator are two apps you might like to look at.
Is there any mobile app to check the data usage of all the connections on the same network.
Assume i have a wireless router, i want to check which connection is using how much data of my wireless network at real time through my mobile.
Damn bro, I feel for you. Check out "paw server" May not be exactly what you're looking for but has many features to put your mind at ease.

You can block certain URLs with rom toolbox pro, but could be, that there is a slimmer app to fulfill your task.
However, I guess you'll need root and an app to hide other apps.

i really, really do not get it... I'm a teenager (at the end where teenagers are called teenagers...) but, really... why not let em watch some XXX ? so they know "how to do it"....
when you want to block all 3x sites you should install a "per -ip" filter...to unblock only IP's that "meet your morality"
let me talk to em and i'll show them how to unblock sites and everything else you think is dirty. WITHOUT admin priivileges.

good can't always combat the naivete of youth. An alert parent can sense somethings up so if he/she feels the need to dig deeper than I'm glad such tools exist. Frankly that's part of the job. Kids in general don't do as well with parents who are always trying to be there buddy. Just be sure that if you do find something to not disclose methods and means and F it up for others
This is going nowhere fast.

Got this phone back in June. I love. Never had the need to root it. However my SMS takes long to load. Group text messaging is so bad it shuts down the stock messaging app.. The stock text messaging function is virtually useless at times. I do not use any other messaging apps to make it clear.
