Re: Facebook 1.9.9 v1.1 (9/7/12) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Re: Facebook 1.9.9 v1.1 (9/7/12)
Hi.
I have few questions.
I'm from Myanmar.
Our local language can be seen correctly in friendcaster and firefox.
But it is not work on facebook and other browser. Some overlapping.
That problem started when I upgraded from ginger to ICS.
is there a way to show the fonts correctly in facebook as in friendcaster.

It's a known bug in the official Facebook app.
As Omaxe said, you have to stick with other Facebook app as we all know that the official Facebook app for Android sucks!

As said by Jokesy facebook app sucks for andoid and also consumes a lot of battery so betta use friendcaster

I have the same issue for my local Indian language. I started using FB Light app. It's very nice. Try it out. Faster than the official app, but has adson free version

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

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.

I use friendcaster as well. I'm rooted and use adaway to removed the ads. I completely removed the standard Facebook crapware. Doing that alone incredibly sped up my device.

+1 for friendcaster as well. unlike some official Fbook app versions, friendcaster runs better with correct task handling. no more consistent battery drain due to Fbook always running plus you have better sync frequency settings vs official app
Friendcaster and alphascope can easily be used. Alphascope requires request since it is in beta.
friendcaster is only for facebook.
Is there any app for facebook as well as tweeter (conbined) as is there in HTC-friendstream?

Tweetdeck, I think, has both facebook and twitter.
'Tinfoil for Facebook'
MoPhoACTV Initiative
i prefer "SimpleFeed"...
I have just installed Seesmic and this app has Facebook and Twitter but its just separated whereas tweet deck merges the time line! I like this app tho so will see how i get on!

Skype and Facebook Problem

Hi to all,
I'm having problems with Skype and Facebook I write now what is the problems.
Skype closes automaticly, I've cancel the cache and stopped and done all the installation again but nothing changes.
Facebook I cannot upload photos from the Galery.
I have:
ROM UHLPS neatRom Lite v3.0.1 Themed
KERNEL 3.0.37 - Siyah - [email protected] #37
Have you got any solution for this problem?
Thanks
First, don't double post.
Second, update the two apps to their latest version.
Third, if you still can't upload to Facebook from your gallery, even after the update, download quick pic from Google playstore Anna try again.

Still doesn't work, there was no update for Skype or Facebook, even with quick pic. nothing.

Search chat heads on google play. You will have an application ready for you. But the only problem is that, right now, the developer hasn't yet made it to move freely on the screen

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Well, I've figured out something I didn't know, which bothered me, I thought it stored my SMS to facebooks servers, though it seems it doesn't. When a conversation is deleted from the stock SMS app, if you check the Facebook messenger, its no longer there. And if I checked on my tablet its not there, so it seems just like its an overlay of sorts just pulling the information from the stock app, which I'm okay with. Just didn't want it to be stored to Facebook's stuff

Facebook Messenger only has sms integration for certain devices. Maybe yours isn't supported?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Ok, so tried chat heads app, Facebook chat heads, ninja sms, notify me, notifypro plus, wp8 notification banner app, light flow ....
All of these apps have since sort of a popup or banner, but the best seems to be light flow which can be customized for each app, each contact separately. If you really want the text icon on home, and simple pop ups don't do it for you, then fb implementation is by far the best one, albeit no contact wise notifications or customization.

This may seem obvious, but you need to go to the settings and select the contacts you want (or all contacts)
