Anyone else having a problem viewing FB using the app? It was fine last week. Now when I open the app, posts are centered and the pictures are cropped. Any help would be appreciated.

Same here, I fixed it by using this app and haven't looked back
Seriously, idk what's up with the FB app. Looks like hell.
they need to make a tablet version...
same here....
I'm having the same issue here. Is it a facebook app issue or any kernel/rom dependent?
The official Facebook app is complete garbage. FriendCaster is an excellent alternative.
Same here...it is butt ugly. FB programming fails pretty hard

Same problem here. I tried Friendcaster and the UI is sooooooo much better. However... It doesn't show all posts. Apparently there is some setting in FB that if checked prevents peoples' status updates and posts from showing in third-party applications, so Friendcaster can't access them. My sister's posts don't show up. I find myself going between the two apps, which is a pain.
Yes, same problem here.
Since one of the last updates of the official Client the layout is broken.
Seems to be no problem of ROM. Tried it under AOKP b38, Infamous Tab 1.5 and stock with different kernels. All the same.
Any recommended alternative clients for Facebook? FriendCaster?

I finally gave up on apps and just put a shortcut to FB through the browser. It is just as fast loading as the official app, and the layout is the same as on a PC.
What's "facebook?"

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

I have a droid X.
use the Gmail app.
Few problems, but over all good. One major complaint is that the html emails are not resized/formatted for the display so 800px wide emails are only shown 1/2 at a time.
I got an iphone for work. Gmail app is shortly released after for iOS.
IT FREEKING FITS THE EMAIL TO THE SCREEN!
WTF?!
Check with my friend who gets a nexus ICS phone. Maybe its fixed.
NOPE
HOW
HOW IS THIS NOT A MAJOR ISSUE WITH gmail APK. do we all just not notice? I spent over a year scrolling left/right to read my newegg email everyday among others.
Yet the FIRST revision of gmail app on ios solved this!
I think it's something wrong with your phone. My Gmail app on my galaxy S resize everything to fit the width of the screen.
Yeah I don't have any issues with things not fitting the screen. Maybe check if there is an update for gmail on your phone?
I see what your saying and I think its more of an apple thing than Google. I think the iPhone is design that way for that kind of content.

but why would it do it on my friends galaxy nexus too?
No settings in gmail, only update is from 2.3.2 to 2.3.5.2, which ive used before and didnt make a difference. (i use the older one because of the permissions to allow widgets to work)
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I have the same problem with my Nexus. This is my first android phone so I had nothing to compare to but I have to agree it is annoying. Is there anyone here with a Nexus who doesn't have this non-resizing problem?

I downloaded Zedge to try and get some cool wallpapers for my Galaxy Nexus. I downloaded a few Nexus themed ones, then the app updated. Now there are no Nexus wallpapers in the App (through search). But, they are still on the Zedge website...
Also, I searched for "Tennessee" wallpapers on the app and found a few, but the same search on the web produces nothing.
Why is there a difference between the app and the website? Anyone else notice this?
Hi,
There is no wallpapers at all? That's very strange. There are no difference between the web and the app and the selection of wallpapers, unless you choose another device in the device selector at web than the one you are actually using.
Try reinstall the app and see if you get wallpapers.
If you still don't get any wallpapers please contact us using "feedback" in the phone menu ( More - Help & FAQ - Feedback ).
Hope it will work again,
Sincerely,

There are wallpapers in the app, but they are completely different from the ones offered in the website.
In fact, my brother in law came over last night and he has the exact same phone running the exact same rom. On his phone edge shows completely different wallpapers. His shows the new nexus ones but mine shows only the old ones. This happens when you start the app and browse and also with searches.
We've both uninstalled and reinstalled and this difference persists. Weird.

Yes, I've had that same issue. Have email for a answer and have never gotten a answer.

Zedge only displays wallpapers that fit your devices screen size. They may be why your lacking them on your phone. As for the pc search i have no idea. Also you need to reimport your zedge downloads if they are not showing up. This can be done from the zedge settings

There may be problems with the useragent served and our auto detection of the phone. If the two phones have different useragents we may handle them differently.
Like I said earlier, please report it through feedbacks in the app. If we see that others have the same problem we are able to fix it. Now it's just really hard for us to reproduce.
Which ROM are you using?
Edit: We do not support custom roms officially (or at least our software for device detection doesn't), so if you have custom ROM we may struggle to give you the right wallpaper class. Hopefully something like that will be fixed in a patch, but that is not a problem with the App itself, but the device detection which is powered by Wurlf.
I've been searching for a good free RSS Reader widget that I can put on my home screen for news. I've tried various, namely Google reader and other free ones, and haven't found one that'll give notifications upon new news, give option of multiple news source within one widget etc. I settled on Pulse and found out that widget apps looses their functionality if they're moved on internal storage to phone storage.
This is my very first android phone so I am learning. Anyone have any inputs and suggestions?
Thanks

Try feedr. i've been using it forever as an rss reader. I haven't used the widget it comes with, but I think it does what you're looking for.

How is feedr working for you on this device? I use it currently on my evo 4g but have read it can have some issues on devices running ics.

It's been working great - at least, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. What kinds of issues did you hear about?
Never tried Google Reader? Pretty good I must say.

Newsrob Reader for me. Weird name but been using it for over 3 years now. Even prefer it over gReader on my pc when I need to go through quickly and sort what I want to read and what's trash.

Feeds not updating properly along with the app force closing. The app seems to be abandoned as it hasnt been updated in over a year so im concerned with long term compatibility with ics. May try greader next
Best RSS read app
MiniRead is the best RSS reader. You will see the feeds moving on your device screen in news ticker style. You will see the updates even while doing other tasks and will never miss any update.
Very much customizable and innovative among RSS reading apps.

Yesterday I installed Captivating(Xperia Themed)[Milestone 4] on my i777, and love it so far. I have one problem with Facebook notifications. This phone is used for work, so I have not had any FB notifications on it for over a year with approx. 10 different roms that I have tried out. Everytime I have had no problems making sure that the FB did not notify me for anything. Well I am getting them now for stuff even with the options taken off in the app. I have checked all other options in Xperia as well and nothing will stop them. I tried un-installing and re-installing and restarting but nothing is working. Is there a hidden setting somewhere in the Captivating Rom that I dont know about? Any help would be great.

Everything you need is right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155732
sephhi has pictures , and descriptions mentioning facebook is integrated in that them! so figuring out a way to turn it off means asking yourself:
Is Sync On? How many places are there for turning sync on/off
What is under account management?
Is there a setting somewhere in the theme that overrides all the other setting inside the app?
I did a search in the original thread with nothing found there. I then broadened the search to q&a and then all of the i777 forums. I have disabled Facebook from syncing in the app and also in accounts. I have spent hours in every setting looking and there is no other Facebook setting. That is why I am asking if anyone else has had this problem. If not I'll re flash the ROM and start over.

I'm not using that ROM, I'm using CM 10.1, but I would assume this feature exists in most/all JB ROMS...
Have you tried turning off "Show Notifications" in the App info setting?
Settings->Apps->Facebook->Show Notifications

I have disabled both the facebook app notifications and the actual facebook settings as well. I also have disabled sync in the android settings in accounts as well with no luck...
Installed the RC2 update and so far no notifications for FB! I am a happy camper again.
