I see it (I'm using new market).
I'm confused as to why its not integrated into the main app. :/
Silly Facebook, developers... Just fix the notifications/instant updates.
I gotta remind myself to get to a damn blackberry.
So I can only get it from the new market? BRB, installing new market...

Maybe it's just me, but I'm not seeing it at all...
Nevermind. I found it on market.android.com and just pushed the installation to my phone that way. Not sure how this is any good at all, though.
I have it difference idk they released for the iPhone as well and you can sent pics so I'm guessing is like a blackberry messenger lol

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 ....
[edit]Found it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210604
I tried this but the notifications arnt working. I've enabled all alerts, light sound vibrate but when I receive a message there's nothing. I have to go to the app to know i got one

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

Use friendcaster, a friend of mine has it and no complains, i personally use the mobile site, and have an app to upload pics and vids to fb, and fb notifies me via gmail, works best for me no issues

new fb app better than friendcaster ****... 1.7.1 out .. u can tag friends and do a lot more stuff with this new version
A lot of Android apps love to keep tabs on you and are constantly gathering location, personal, or contact data info. That's why I use LBE Privacy guard app, it allows you to deny permissions that go along with downloaded apps

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.

Yeah, I forgot, location based updates are something Facebook is doing now. Weird that it's wrong for you though. I never update my status enough to notice.

Anyone have any suggestions?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
It worked for me, but I felt it wasn't necessary. The UI was too basic to really use compared to the full version of the same apps.
Thanks for the input but do you have a suggestion for me?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I had to return here for suggestions (so I get notifications), I get Linked and Facebook. When I go to add an account, I see them (checked because I have them) and I see Twitter (Not checked because I don't use it).
I want to add Google+ and Yahoo. Even when I am up and chatting on both of them, Social will not show them to add. I am clueless!

This is EXACTLY why I use this Widget. I work in IT and have done so for MANY years. I had Yahoo IM @ 12 years ago, @ 4 years ago I started with FB, This June, I got Google+. The last 3 years I have traveled the world with job, some friends are on Facebook, some on +, some still on Yahoo.
I have 760+ contacts, everyone keeps asking "Whats up, what have you been up to?" I cannot possibility answer them all, except with Social Networking, weather they want to read it or not. One post, everyone is happy.
Now, Like you stated, If I want a more personalized experience, I go to the app it's self.
Thanks everyone but the problem I'm having is I don't get anything on the widget and all it says is add an account.

I don't know what happen. Some photos I can view, but for 99% of them, I get "Cannot retrive the photo at this time. Please try again later?" I can open them fine on home computer so I do not think its an access issue?
Any thoughts or clue?
What app are you using for Facebook?

I'm having the same issue. I'd just assume it's Facebook. They're always having problems with their apps.

My Wife (LG Optimus) and Me (Photon) both have this issue, gotta be facebook at this point. They have had ****ty Android support from the start.
But-----------------> Google Plus FTW.
I reinstalled with no success. I thought it was me, then I reached out to some friends and this seems to be a common issue, no matter what phone you have. It just took me as odd one day it worked, next it did not and i did not download anything..........Oh well.
It's the app, not the phone

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!

I just spent 20 minutes searching the threads and can't find my answer, so I thought I would take a chance and make a thread about this. If there is a thread about this, I apoligize in advance and I will go and crawl under a rock and hide! I'm just curious Why are all links in our emails not clickable they are just text format, I found something about this in a different site but I think the expertise in XDA is far superior, IMO so I don't trust anybody else...Thanks in advance.

Just to elaborate on my original post, what I found on the other site was that someone said that the legal team at Apple is what caused us to lose the ability to click on links in our email, which sounds stupid....

Yeah I don't use stock email app since gmail is my only email :/
That's weird... Google has been slipping lately
But to elaborate on your elaboration, if the legal issue was true, why does Gmail allow it? Is HTC in the meat grinder deeper than Google maybe?

With all the bs apple is doing to keep their competition on lockdown just so they won't get out sold, you can't really blame htc, best option would be to find an alternative email app as you previously said, though to be honest, I only use the default because I'm too lazy to configure my school account on the hotmail app.
I have the same issue.
Rooted and Flashed my Amaze 4g Telus yesterday and now on ICS.
Can't click on any links in emails and that's very anoying since i have 3 email account link to the phone and have plenty of links in them.
Anything that could help to bring back that feature ?
It's a no go, thank apple for that.
I don't think that's the case cause i had ICS on my Desire HD just before that phone and the links where still there.
I figured it out you have to go into settings, then send & receive, and change the mail size limit. The default is at 5kb, which is only text. If you change it to maximum size it will even show pictures. You have to reset app after you change the size limit so it takes effect though.
