Market 3.1.5

This is the new Market upgrade. Speed has been very much improved. 3.1.3 was slow.
But 3.1.5 has improved on speed.

I like the new market, but it can be slow to load and updates often get stuck on the loading screen which sucks. Grey loading screens also have a yellow tint on my device. A work in progress I think.

I was having some problems with downloads on the new Market but luckily it has been resolved.
I have to agree the interface is quite smoother now.

The new market is fast, but search is crap. It rarely shows anything.
Update: Search is working fine now

I'm on newest version, but updates often get stuck here too.
Have to use FastBoot and then problem always is solved ...
Do we have to wait for new (non beta) version or did you find a solution?

When I use the new market, apps are missing from the installed list.
Eg, Facebook is not listed even though i have it installed, when I search for it, it says installed.
Also it thinks Maps isn't installed....

Delete data and cache and all apps installed from the market will appear in the list. I also do the same when my apps list loads forever and hangs, after that it's faster for some time. This new market is kinda poorly optimized, hope they release a new version to be as fast as the old skool market.

In my opinion the android market app sucks in any of his versions and with any rom, stock or mod.
It's often slow, sometimes i see an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button. When perform a search 80% times it find only porno-nudegirls-related things, and also not so related...
I think google really should have to put a lot more attention and start developing an app that is fast and functional and not the crap we have now... And maybe have more respect for all the serious developers here who post their applications in the market and see theirs accounts gone for no reason as appened to Leo...

Seems to work perfectly for the majority of people. I suggest you may have issues with your device if you find it slow. Also, if you keep finding "porno-nudegirls-related things" then I suggest you stop searching for them
In summary, it works perfectly for me. My only beef would be that it just doesn't have a download button, rather than telling you an app is not compatible.
Also, the Honeycomb Market is sooooo much better, so ICS will clearly have a better version as well.

Wow amazing. It's blazing fast. Worth a shot.

I also got the problem that installed apps are missing in the market(Facebook too and about 20 others). Tried clearing data and cache + reboot didnt help.
Has anyone a clue how it can be solved?

Search bug
when i for example search for "weather" in Market it writes .>> Number of results: 2040 but the list only contains 20 items and there is no possibility to see the rest ...any idea ? fix ?

Market Doctor in Titanium Backup fixes that.

I have already 3.1.5

Ty, but market dr. didnt help because he doesnt recognise the links as missing, also most apps in the market are telling me that my phone is not compatible - my guess is that the market also thinks that my installed apps are not compatible and therefor not shown..
Can anyone help? I have no clue what to do.

Yes ... it's often slow.
Yes ... often there is an update available for an app but when i click on it there is no update button
And nearly every time there actually is an update button present ... update will hang due to some kind of connection error (never start downloading app)
Removing new Market update or (fast) rebooting phone solves this problem until new Market update re-install itself again.
My phone NOT faulty ... new Market or maybe something behind the walls of Goggle is buggy ...
Anybody found a prober solution working on not rooted phone

Hating the new search, If say, 5000 results are found, it'l only show about 200-300, wtf?

Facebook update

So Facebook has finally been updated and we have a menu button, but it looks like they removed the contact sync options :/

looks great! at least they are listening, I've had a couple of updates over the last week or so!
Lets hope for another quick update which restores the contacts sync

Yeah it is much better.. they finally matched the mobile web UI. Hope we get contact sync back.

Given sync was removed from the Nexus S I doubt we'll get it back on the GN.

Finally, a Facebook update thats worthwhile. It looks more like the iOS version now which is surprisingly a good thing!

I was about to write the exact same thing.

Facebook's contact sync is still in the app, but it's only accessible through the legacy (read: physical) menu button.
Looks like facebook just got lazy and didn't carry over the entire settings menu into the new ui.
Maybe a nice dev can fix their crap and give you a way to access that 2nd menu?

Nah, afaik it's really FB that doesn't let it sync. Got something to do with FB refusing to use Google's APIs. There's a post on that issue somewhere, can't find it atm. Unless FB change their attitude, we won't be seeing sync in Android.

You are indeed correct.
Hadn't heard of this before, so did some digging and apparently Google got tired of giving FB special access to do a pseudo-sync of contacts (in other words, even though FB data was in the contacts app, it didn't actually sync to google contacts).
I'll have to keep this in mind when I get around to picking up my own Nexus.

Works well!

Does anyone get facebook notifications i have not had any yet on my GN or does anykne know how to fix it?

Is no-one else having the same UI glitches that I have?
When I pull down to refresh, it doesn't pull the feed down, just the bar at the top. Looks really clumsy and I don't think it's meant to behave like this.
Also, it gives me notifications for unread messages every half hour, regardless of whether there are new ones or not.

Does work well. Wish the images were Hi-Res though.

Also, deleting messages doesn't work reliably. I don't get it... If this was iPhone, it'd get fixed immediately but Android seems to get an 'almost works' version every time.

The MUST HAVE app for Android 4.0

Since we have today our fully working ICS rom, I would like to share this app
HaxSync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's sync your facebook contacts (Pictures and status updates) with your phone contacts in the same way ICS sync your contacts with google plus (High res contact pictures)
The app it's only 99 cents and IMO it's totally worth it.
BTW: I hold no relationship with the developer of this app, im just a happy customer.
Try it you wont regret.

Is it a built-in feature of ICS? Because for me it only syncs Google+ contacts and completely ignores facebook contacts. Pictures don't come up or anything. Neither do their icons show in Handcent SMS

no, it's built into the official facebook app. I guess that app is included in the skyrocket port. you have to go into facebook settings and choose SYNC.
That said, it looks like my contacts (i use Go Contacts) defaults to sync with google+ before it uses facebook for photos.

Yeah man just go on to the development forums and it should be on the first page. You could also search for it. Instructions are all there. There are a couple of bugs, most notably the auto rotation doesn't work. But other than that it works perfectly for most, including me I would suggest reading the entire thread to gain a little insight into what has been going on and to be a little safer with the installation and all that.... GOOD LUCK!!

When I had my Galaxy Nexus back in December I know there was no Facebook sync available for ICS at the time, I don't know if they've updated it back then.
But you can use Friencaster to sync all your contacts and pictures.
This reminds me though, has anyone else noticed there's no People app? Is that a Nexus only app or just missing?

Did I miss a memo?

I have a question, Facebook from the sky rocket ICS port won't let me access the pull down notifications. What I mean is, I'll get a notification, open the pull down in the app, and it shows me what's new but I can't touch it to access it, it does absolutely nothing.
Anyone know of a better app for Facebook?

Facebook 1.9 update

update FACEBOOK 1.9.. sooooo damn smooth!! update people

I got fed up waiting on the Facebook app to be good and finally bought friendcaster pro. The interface, speed, and options are leaps and bounds better. And push notifications with pop ups that actually work better than the official app IMHO. Another one to keep an eye on is fast Facebook which is still in beta but very promising.

App got quite the overhaul it seems, despite the sparse changelog.
First thing I tried though was contact sync and it still tried to sync all my contacts instead of existing ones, so I guess that's still broken.

I am so pissed that Facebook is shoving crap down my throat.
I don't want a Messenger and Camera app installed with Facebook.
Tempted to uninstall it now

Seriously...
It's bad enough that I have two camera apps (Fx Camera and Instagram) now you give me another one? Stop with these redundancies and make your app more cohesive and streamlined FB.
I'm still sticking with the mobile site.

Facebook is like a virus. They called their new shortcuts 'Camera' (like Google) and 'Messenger' (like Google). What's next? Calendar and People?

They can't be disabled either. Unreal.

The most confusing thing has to be the messenger. Do they want us to use the dedicated messenger app or the one in the FB app because now there is a shortcut for both in the app drawer

It is seriously smooth and improved. Not a fan of the "camera" app, but I already had their Messenger app installed so this just replaces it.

Yeah they want you to use the new one I'm assuming. Although it just opens the FB app and moves to that tab. If you close it then open the FB app from its main icon, you just get taken to the messenger tab. Might as well just use the app only and hit the tab manually. At least its not super slow anymore so it'll be easy.
Honestly they can instantly remedy this by giving us settings options to show/hide the Camera and Messenger app shortcuts.

Can anyone explain how I can just install a facebook apk that doesn't include the shortcut icons?
If not, im removing facebook from the phone and using the web version instead.
far out I wish facebook wasn't used by so many people because I hate it.

I deleted mine and couldn't be happier, I'm a decently social person, but I just find it a waste of time, but that is just me.
As for the a unified app, that doesn't have those shortcuts, I think I might be able to edit the apk, I'll give it a try.

Its so stupid to have two messenger icons... plus a extra camera button... is this why FB bought instagram? Just to have their own camera shortcut?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

since instagram released, i have been using fb less and less.

So Facebook loads up quicker now? I've noticed after using facebook for couple of days, it'll load slower. Tried it on two gnex, same result.

I just uninstalled the app, and will use the mobile site from now on.

Is facebook also having the age-old wake-lock issue? Back when I installed it (Literally 2 months ago) I always had wake-lock issues under BetterBatteryStates called something "katana" even with manual syncing. Probably the reason why I hate the app so much.

Still doesn't load my news feed. Stupid app. Back to friendcaster!

The interface was different for a second (messenger icon on top-right, able to post a status update without navigating to a screen outside of the News Feed), but then when I went to post a status update it FC'd and reverted to the old layout.

[MOD][CM10/10.1] Facebook Home for Galaxy W or any other Jellybean device!:)

Recently Facebook Home has just came out and I've been searching for it for our Galaxy W, unfortunately, it's not available for our phone. It's because they block our device, allowing only S3 or some popular phones to get the update only. Some people were also facing country restrictions issues, our even version incompatible.
So I've found a post by Modaco, and these are the ways you can get it working on our phone, or maybe other device:
Uninstall all you facebook apps, and download these 3 files, install it and you're done!
Main app:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.katana.modaco.apk
Facebook Home Launcher:
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.orca.modaco.apk
Facebook Messenger with chat heads;
http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/download.php?file=com.facebook.home.modaco.apk
All files above are patched, so you can't update it from play store, unless the official app is available for our device
Credits to: Modaco, http://www.modaco.com/topic/361924-facebook-home-download-including-patched-apk-version/
I've attached the screencaps on my Galaxy W
Notice: The app could be laggy, this is because Facebook has not make it stable yet and it's one of the reason they don't allow us to install it on Playstore
