ive been using trillian for years, its possibly the best IM on Windows, and Android.
hopefully they integrate Skype like they did on windows soon though
My advice, don't rely on Microsoft for anything lol. If yahoo can develop a proper mail and IM app for their Android users, I see no reason why Microsoft couldn't other than being stubborn and not willing to develop for Android because they're a rival (they wish) with windows phone 7 lol.

This isn't evo3d specific, but the facebook app really sucks. Is it just licensing that keeps someone from making a better one? I would pay for a FULLY FUNCTIONAL facebook app - something that lets me do everything I can do on the site. and I would like it to have total control over what I have to see in my newsfeed, because I don't care about farmville.
I just want push notifications on my EVO like my wife has on her epic

idk if you remember the early facebook app that was out when the Evo first came out a year ago... It was HORRIBLE compared to what we have today, so if anything, we're doing alright compared to that. And that's saying something.
But I agree, I hate having to go to the site to reply to invites to events and whatnot, gets old real quick. I also wish that gawker sites wouldn't go to the mobile site in the stock browser, it won't let you watch any flash videos, and won't let you switch to desktop version of the site. /endrant
Yeah and I will also like to change my profile pic from the app, because even if you go to the site from your phone (in desktop version) it doesn't let you do it cause of the cropping of the pic which is impossible from the phone.

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 ....

After the update, you need to log out and then log back in for changes to take full effect. I prefer to uninstall completely then install the updated version, it avoids the bugs.
Once you've done that, it will no longer ping GPS when viewing the news feed

They are trying to make it closer to the iOS version (pull to refresh...etc). And the iOS Facebook app pings the GPS every time it refreshes the news feed. Not totally sure why.

And I know why!!! Just looking, I had Version 1.8.1. After I deleted and went to reinstall, the version on the market is "Depends on Device!" So instead of investing some $$$$ in the masses, they are doing one off's as they get to it. Meaning they likely fix a bug for one device and break another!

Hi mates,
Today,I got my code for ThemerApp.
Wanna try it...
I choose a theme, I press Apply and then....
!!
It requests an access to my Facebook account with full access to my personal information and friends list!!!
Why? Can someone tell me why a "THEMER" App requires my friends list?
I uninstall right now!
Pathetic
dont know why they do this. you can also use your google account but this as bad as using the fb-account.
although i really like this app this is really a nuisance !
The only reason I made this workaround so people can use themes without logging in to any accounts. Although it seems to be a trusted app, but it doesn't take long for any database to be hacked. Hope more themers use this.

because it's not just a simple theme app, it's a launcher with widgets of every kind (social networks included), rss feeds, etc.. and to display notifications correctly it needs full access.

I can understand a launcher with social network integration requesting access to social networks but I can't understand why it's mandatory.
I do NOT use social networks but I want to try this launcher out. It doesn't let you proceed without adding an account.

Besides, if you really wanna use the app and are THAT worried about your personal info, making a dummy account won't be a big deal. It's not a "bit much" at all. You're talking as if it's an ordeal to do, or a huge inconvenience.
And speaking of dummies, the people freaking out about Themer are the same people that feel perfectly fine with using Google for their Wallet service, or for their email, or even for Google Play. It's the same thing as logging into an account to use Themer. Besides, only a total idiot would turn over crucial data to the internet these days.

Its not Themer spying on us that people are worried about. Its what happens "if" their database gets hacked into the same way WhatsApp and TrueCaller got hacked recently.
But the Gmail permission is certainly understandable since it needs it to show the Unread Count in Everything Widget and having a bit of experience developing apps, I'm pretty sure there's no other way to get the counts.
