I really like the UI of Samsungs Facebook S! App over the web interface as well as the non Samung alternative.
Unfortunately I have been having problems loading the pages, as it takes very, very long or even fails completely due to a "network connection error" although I have HSDPA connection.
Am I the only one with this problem or do others share my demise?
BTW: The app is downloadable through the "Samsung Apps" app
Same. I kept getting network error but when I checked, the content was already successfully posted
Same here dude...even on my home wifi..i get this msg...had to stop using it...

for this reason i stopped using it, instead i'm using facebook from the market.
at least it has "Like" function. and fast.
This thing works on wifi only, too bad as it's a lot better than the facebook app from the marketplace.

I prefer the marketplace "Facebook for Android" - for some reason the Samsung one just bombards me with billions of f%&$£*% Farmville etc. updates, even though I've hidden them on the main site. If I ever find out how to get rid of the damn things on the Samsung one, I might try it again - I did prefer the look of it tbh.
Same problem on my side ...
The samsung app is slow and often doens't manage to connect to netword ( 3G or wifi)
I must confess that when you come from the iphone both application are pretty crap in comparison
But it is still much better that what I have on my wm6.5 phone
Guys, I recently flash a JG5 ROM, and Facebook S is not in the Samsung App is not in, Anyone know how to download this? I need this to sync my Facebook contact.
You don't want the samsung facebook app.
yeah same problem. Sometimes its fast most of the time its loads forever (i think its has lost connection)
Just have to wait for an update
Like the look of it though

why not? it's really fast and good layout plus easy to use
Samsung Facebook app is the only facebook app where you have an google UI and the ability to upload VIDEO

All the FB apps on the Android are pants but then FB itself is one of the worst software implementations I have ever come across, both from a coding and from a user experience perspective. The Iphone app is the best do far but it's still pretty pants and I suspect that is down to really sloppy APIs.

Maybe i have setting problems. It works fast when i am on hsdpa but when i am on wifi i cant connect to facebook s! , it has the loading spinning thing and after 4 min wait nothing. The standard android facebook works on wifi.
If anyone knows the answer to no connection via wifi please help. I rather use this app.
Ok, being an iphoner prior to my android switch some time ago I know that the facebook for android app sucks, I've researched a couple posts on this topic and very varied answers so I wanna get an opinion or answers from my G2'ers of which facebook app is best, id at least like to get quick notifications pushed.
Id love to know about this too...

the first versions of facebook official sucked. the latest version is pretty solid. there's still something things that are odd, like notifications go to the touch site instead of staying in the app, but besides that, its almost fully featured.
that said, the touch.facebook.com site is probably the best. i use the app though.
i used to use Bloo but since fb official came out, ive just used that.
Unfortunately, the official app is the best one, eventhough it's not really that good.
the official app finally has notifications?
ive been using tweetdeck beta...
It does but a lot of different kinds of notification simply don't show up. And even when it does show your notifications properly, tapping you brings you to the browser instead of in the app... pretty crappy. Definitely my number one android complaint (obviously not the fault of android tho)
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
has anyone tried Bloo ? it was the popular app before the official Facebook app became usable. i know the developer stopped working on it and i'm not sure who took over if anyone but you can check it out, i think i might do that as well.
I actually use a Desire and I've been using Android for years but, I use Bloo. It's awesome compaired to the official app. You'll need to go to the developers site to get the latest version, as it's not on the market.
He explains in his site that he has been working with logitech, that's why he hasn't been able to keep on top of updating Bloo.
As far as I'm aware, he's in the process of making the source code public so someone can make a new app.
The version of Bloo on his site is way more reliable than the official app and has loads more features.
I'm not on G2 yet but for my "daily driver" FB app I use bloo, it is still stuck in beta but it works for notifications and normal useage.... for more detailed info I still rely on the official FB app.

Nope lol. I've been google stalking it but can't find it anywhere.
I signed up.. Still waiting. I'm sure once they start sending out links for this it will be on here.
I also was able to sign up before it was closed. No word yet. Hope they're not c*ck blocking on us custom rom users.
I also missed the signups, but I hope I can get my hands on the beta version because the one they have in the market is killing me!
Any update

It's been released...
did u actually get a private beta version sent to you? 1.6 is available in the android market and its practically unchanged
Just the one that's on the Market, I guess 1.6 isn't the beta we are looking for.
Has anyone installed the update? Many comments in Market about problems since updating to this version...
Guess not! I have the update installed, no problems but there's nothing new.

Still loads of bugs,
Cant get into friends with a force close.
Messages broken, they don't sync properly.
Also to rub salt into the wound, the have FULL access to your text messages with no legitimate reason. Poor effort. Might have to find the 1.5.4 apk.
I'll keep my 1.5.1 Works good even with friends. Anything after was a nightmare.
Im using Cyanogen V7.1-RC1 and seems like LauncherPro doesnt sync my Facebook events to LauncherPro Calendar widget or normal Calendar like it used (Theres only option to sync contacts in settings) before.
Not sure if the problem occured with Nightly build 119 which I used before, but Im pretty sure it worked with that, and ofc. with Sense based roms.
Is the problem now with LauncherPro or with Cyanogen? Or maybe even with the Facebook app?
Argh!!! Its all changed!! Suddenly about 15 mins ago it seemed to completely reload and now looks "improved" For the record, I previously force closed and cleared cache / data so this is just weird.
Cons:
Friends still force closes though
Pros:
Filters on friend feed.. Yay, finally get rid of pages of stupid game updates.
Looks and feels smoother. (I'm on Wifi though)

If you are having problems I really suggest running a fix_permissions from RM or from terminal, it solves most of my problems for me. I updated a few days ago but it suddenly changed for me too. The new news feed is pretty nice and I love how I can like comments now. Pages seem to be so-so but better than nothing. Chat actually seems to be working!
I don't use launcherpro but if I'm not mistaken, it uses its own client completely separate from the official facebook app so the new update shouldn't be affecting anything.
Okay I have noticed a prominent issue that has exhisted for awhile, at least for me across any build of CM10 of JMZ's I think it was even in Llior's CM10 before JMZ came back for a bit, but for some reason if I try and open external links from things like e-mails or a webpage, that link to things like a direct download, or a donations link, it ALWAYS crashes and never loads the page. I've tried this across at least 4 browsers, and only ONE browser actually successfully directed me without crashing, that being Chrome, but other browsers like default/naked/dolphin/firefox all fail at this, and it's annoying since I am a dolphin browser user.
Go to browser's app info and from there select 'clear data' try it

Hey guys and gals,
I love Dolphin Browser and have been using it since I entered the world of Android with an S3 and then a Note 2. I switched to a Note 3 a few weeks ago and I've been having really strange issues with Dolphin. It's getting to the point where it's unusable. I've wiped cached, uninstalled, reinstalled, updated to latest Flash apk, so I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of. I'm hoping someone can help or at least tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this.
When I open Dolphin, I can click through one or two links. I don't know exactly what causes this, but soon after, I press a link and the browser freezes. I can open new tabs and zoom in an out of the tabs that are currently open, but the status bar does nothing, I cannot interact with any links/images/anything on the loaded pages, and nothing else loads. I have to close the app and wait at least 15 min, or wipe the cache and open the app again. Same thing happens every time.
It's extremely weird and very annoying. I love the app but will have to switch if I cannot fix this issue.
Has anyone else been experiencing this? Do you know how to fix it?

Great, hope to see it fixed soon. Since I can guess you're a Dolphin user, what secondary browser do you recommend/think is the best? I love how Dolphin renders webpages and haven't found another that does quite as well (IMO).

I switch between Chrome and Stock depending on what i'm doing. Both have benefits
I use naked browser pro, aosp browser and chrome. Those are my favorites in that order.

I have no problems with Dolphin at all and that's all I use. ...I need more info to help. .. What rom? Did you restore data? Etc

I use Dolphin and I'm not seeing exactly what you are but it the browser is getting progressively annoying. What I'm seeing are pages taking forever to load. I click a link, the screen goes white...wait...wait....wait....get tired of waiting so I push 'stop' and then the page displays immediately. It's like it wants to pre-load the entire page before it shows anything at all, then it all comes up at once. Dolphin on my N4 recently developed this same behavior. If they don't get their stuff together I'll be ditching it.
My favorite browser by far and wide is Firefox. I used to use Dolphin before FF Mobile was stable enough for full time use but these days FF wipes the floor with Dolphin in terms of features. Firefox has an extensive addon collection for adblock, useragent switching, full screen, etc. plus it supports Flash Player and html5 videos perfectly. If you're not happy with stock and Chrome definitely try Firefox!

Have you tried to send a bug report to Dolphin Team?
You can send a detailed report in Dolphin Settings > Help > Send Feedback > Not responding.
I often do this to make Dolphin realize my issue and fix it.
You should try it !
