I guess you didn't Google? Google: 'save facebook video on phone' and you get an app in the first line of search results...

Because you made the video player the default app to launch whenever you tap facebook videos if you're on 4.3 press and hold the home button then tap the first option to your left now look for clear defaults tab. You'll see all the default apps there for specific stuff or the longway by going to settings manage apps look for your default video player and tap clear defaults. Then your problem will be solve. Next time read before you tap

Im pretty sure that i didnt choose any video player as default, i even double checked and cleared defaults from gallery, but still facebook automatically plays the videos using a built in video player in facebook.
I think that the new update of the facebook app, doesnt allow anymore external applications to play the video, it plays the video from the application itself.
Are you sure this is not happening to you

Solution!
Well the only solution is:
1. If you want to download a video, first of all go to video comments and type something.
2. then go to your profile main one where you see Activity LOG.
3. after that you will see your comment log, tap on it and now you can choose tabs..:!

This is amazing. Thank you so much for the heads up. No more whining about lack of flash. Skyfire does it all.

Anyone else having trouble installing this?
when i look at the market i dont find it, and when i scan the QR code from skyfire homepage i dont find it either.
Also tried downloading the APK file from my phone but it fails telling me that the format is not supported in my phone.
Currently using a unrooted mini pro with SE default stock rom due im afraid of the stability of the aviable roms. (Absoulutly need a working and non-rebooting phone for my work.)
hi here is the apk cheers chris

You can watch live streaming !!!!!
Hi,
thanks for the app !
With this app, you can watch live streaming !
Yestersay, i have saw San Antonio - Memphis on streaming with my phone ( in 3G ) !
If you want to test :
go on myp2p or http://www.rojadirecta.es/.
For example, go to : http://www.rojadirecta.es/goto/play....gd/BZzvNC&autostart=true&stretching=exactfit.
On this page, click on Video ( ( down bar of skyfire ) the page may is white as if it's not loaded ).
Wait, and click on video who appears.
Watch your match
You may need video licence for that work, but the licence is free for 3 day.
It's time to test !
PS: If skyfire work only for google reach; click on icon half android / half screen of computer ( at right of the icon who open all tab ) and choose android.
Try again
Sorry for my bad English !
Hum, I tried this yesterday but gave up cuz on my mini pro the favorites button caused a FC, but since it appears to be able to playback video, I might just have to make this one my default browser

To have the favourites button work you need the stock browser (the stock one in the custom roms work as well) installed as well as it uses that somehow for your favourites and history etc

Ah ok, I see my deleting of the default browser (had no use for it) came back to bite me in the ass, cheers for the clear up
EDIT: Yeah, readding the default browser fixed it, cheers fellas.
Any way to turn the screen off during playback? I use some flash streaming audio, so dont need to see anything, and it eats battery. Also has anyone worked out how to tick the parental lock option in bbc iplayer?

Did you definitely install skyfire 3 first and accept the terms and conditions before uninstalling it and then install 4?

Linkify question

On the latest OTA is there a way to at least make YouTube play in the app instead of the Web browser?
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I believe there's an option you can set in the build.prop that will let you choose. Unfortunately I can't remember what it is atm because I have been meaning to do the same thing.
I'm able to select it in 'app associations'

yeah,im on Stock with goodies 2.08 and any time i tap on a video for youtube in facebook it loads up in the browser.
Settings > App associations > YouTube link > YouTube
Even after the latest update with YouTube in the app associations the browser still overrides YouTube links in the browser and facebook. I have installed Chrome and made that the default browser in app associations and this has fixed the problem. No matter where the YouTube link is it always opens up in the app now

YouTube app as default for YT videos

Since updating my S3 to JB, all YouTube videos open in the browser instead of the app. How do I get them to default to the app instead?
I've tried resetting app preferences, Internet browser, YouTube app and nothing.
Any help would be appreciated.
Had the same issue. When you browse by Firefox, it does the same but in the last instance before playing the video then finally opens it in YouTube player.

You can blame apple for that. It was included in their lawsuit so it was removed from stock browser. Dolphin browser does the trick for me.

Agreed. I also think the default browser is still the best. Don't like that Chrome doesn't have an intelligent full screen mode like Samsung's browser.
Any fix for this yet? Really don't find Chrome as smooth or quick, but need the YT app since the video quality is so much better than the browser version...

how can apple make google stop using its on application? it's like telling apple they are not allowed to use Itunes anymore....
Really hate apple... They think they invented the world..
I bought an S3 just because of this lawsuit. Would buy an Iphone, after the lawsuit i searched more about GS3 and discovered how much better it was :laugh:
Go to settings --> apps --> all --> browser --> clear defaults.
Now go back to a link to a YouTube video and now choose the YouTube app selecting "Always".

Haha, well I try to think two steps ahead... You can play vids on that app without having to download. But I figure the only videos you'd want to watch on YouTube in the background are music vids. So why not just download them... dude may not even known that was possible.

GO Launcher

Google Earth will be available on the playstore, so check there.
In regards to the movie, i believe that was only for the N7.
I knew that charging is slow.
But this slow? In 55% for 25 mins

You don't need an app. Just go to Google Play on the web, sign in, and it will be there.
