Anyone know of an app that i can type and post an update to show up automatically on both Tweeter and Facebook pages?
using the build in apps, i need to manually login and copy/paste the message to each app to update both places.
Nice question - interested
I was sure Samsung said they had something prepared for this, but guess not.
Feeds and update widget does this.. one post for both.
The Samsung built-in Feeds and Updates widget does this pretty well. I am using another software called Tweetcaster. It allows you to update to both fb and tweeter.
yes... default feeds widget works perfectly for that here aswell. At the top of the screen there is a FB and Twitter icon which can be checked/unchecked. Check them both and it will update to both sites.
Default samsung app write and go does this as well

hey guys so its my first time using sense, so bear with me, how do you do the auto contacts linking with facebook? stock android does it pretty well where if the name matches identically it'll pull facebook info like pictures and stuff to supplement your contacts. on Sense I can't figure out how to do that. Only way i got it to link was to link it manually in every contact which is a huge pain in the ass.
Go to Accounts and Sync and add a Facebook account. You should have had the option in the initial setup also.

yea did that since first boot, it syncs the contacts, but its not linking it. what I mean by that is when you go through your contacts list, it doesn't show their facebook pictures n stuff.. until you manually go through each contact n link it with their facebook profiles. Its really quite stupid. Stock android does this wonderfully btw
This has always worked flawlessly for me so I can't really help you on that one.

In the contacts app go to the updates page, and it'll show partial matches, hit that and it gives you a checklist of everyone to sync with facebook.
i don't see an updates page, and by contacts do you mean people?
Morning all!
if I go into accounts & sync, add account, Facebook
nothing happens, it goes back to the list which has Google & Twitter in it. I have Facebook installed
any ideas?
cheers
The Facebook App needs an update to use the API and sync the contacts i guess.

We believe it is very important that users are able to control their data. So in the over-the-air update for Nexus S, we have a small change to how Facebook contacts appear on the device. For Nexus S users who downloaded the Facebook app from Android Market, Facebook contacts will no longer appear to be integrated with the Android Contacts app. Since Facebook contacts cannot be exported from the device, the appearance of integration created a false sense of data portability. Facebook contact data will continue to appear within the Facebook app. Like all developers on Android, Facebook is free to use the Android contacts API to truly integrate contacts on the device, which would allow users to have more control over their data. We are removing the special-case handling of Facebook contacts on Nexus S and future lead devices. We continue to believe that reciprocity (the expectation that if information can be imported into a service it should be able to be exported) is an important step toward creating a world of true data liberation --and encourage other websites and app developers to allow users to export their contacts as well.

My bigger problem with the facebook app is that the menu button is not accessible in ICS. As a result, you can't change the defaults for how often the app refreshes (I like to disable auto refreshing).
I prefer using fb throught the Browser.... facebook app is the most battery draining app ever.

I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.

I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..

OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?
This works for adding pics but how do you make Facebook the default pic...

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..

Does anyone have any apk's of older Facebook App?
Gallery Issue with newer versions:
The newer versions will not upload / refresh all the galleries and it's very annoying. Also when you upload pictures, it won't let you select a gallery. Extremely annoying. What are the devs thinking?
I'm using an older version 1.8.4, which is ok. It allows me to select albums when uploading pics, but still it doesn't fully load all my albums...
Edit: Facebook apk 1.8.4 is by far the best.
It would be nice if everyone can make some FB apk's available for download.
Edit: PM if you want the apk file.
Does anyone know which version will refresh all the albums 100% and not partially?
Thanks.

ditto ... I LOVE Flipboard .... I used to use Friendcaster app instead of the horrendous FB app but that lately is getting worse not better and it shows None of my photo to that get uploaded via my instagram feed.
I have all my Social Media accounts loaded into Flipboard
FB, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Google+
plus other info/fun stuff like cute overload.com, Android News, 2012 Summer Games, People Mag
LOVE it.
Just started using flipboard and gotta admit, it's addictive! Best RSS style app I've ever used. However, I've set up my Facebook, and it is cool to use for checking out your newsfeed and you are able to like and comment on posts, and looks like you can compose a post, but how do you check notifications/messages or look at people's profiles or pictures? Seems to be missing some functionality. Either way it's a cool app.
I usually use Friendcaster though. The regular Facebook app was horrible about giving you notifications. Friendcaster does the trick.

Well it is laid out magazine style, but you can set it up to include your feed from all/any of your accounts on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Flickr, YouTube, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Google+ and it shows the photos right away (for example when someone tweets a blurb with a URL to a photo they upload) it's really cool
Each one gets it's own "block" - see attached screencap of ONE of my pages
You can also add any blog RSS feeds, News feeds etc - I have Android News, People Magazine, 2012 Olympics (right now) the website Cuteoverload.com ... it is totally customizable and you can like, and add comments from the app as well.

I use flipboard a lot, especially using tumblr and reading news. Though, i dont think its the best option for using facebook, at least thats what the OP is asking. There is no way to message someone on flipboard nor chat. You can post stats, like pictures, and share stuff. But otber than those things, nope. I think fast facebook is pretty good, but i find myself using the official one most often.

Looks great! I'm about to try.
I like fast Facebook
Flipboard and Friendcaster.
Necro Bump....
I personally can't stand the new Facebook App lately..... they either are too damn slow, or you get your notications really late compared to the other apps.... To my liking, I would recommend using Version 1.9.6........ I'm currently on running 1.9.6 and refusing to update =)
are you able to post pictures to instagram via flipboard? if so, how?

I don't think you can post pics because Instagram doesn't allow any other app to post pics.

Best Facebook app for nexus 7....the stock one sucks.

"Fast for Facebook" is a good alternate app.
i use "friendcaster"
I also use friendcaster, it is a very nice client and they also make an amazing twitter app too
The main problem is that, due to how facebook user privacy settings translate, certain posts are unable to be shown by the FriendCaster and any other third party app. You can't have an FB client that doesn't show all activity but the official FB app is horrible on tablets. My solution is to keep friendcaster around for when I know I want to do something––wall post, comments, photos etc––and use a bookmark to the mobile site for the news feed.
This is inelegant but is the only way i'm happy with until the official client gets tablet support (if ever).
