I agree, FriendCaster beats the official Facebook app hands down! Especially the pull up 'favourites' tab (similar to the iOS' Favourite profiles, which I miss from my iPod touch days), the ability to tag photos (can't believe it's still not possible in the default one!!) and the popup notifications, especially reminding me of friends' birthdays.
Although it doesn't have chat, Go! Chat is a Facebook chat client (still better than official FB chat) Go on, give it a go

If Friendcaster supports chat function, I will probably use it instead of the Official Facebook app.

can link yahoo messager as fb chat now

I am now using beejive (just facebook chat client), it works really good and against go chat, it shows the messages you got when you were offline. I would like an app that notificates me when i got a notification on facebook
sorry for my english

Friend caster now has a chat that can be downloaded from market.

Hey guys,
Living in China here and facebook is blocked, when I first had blur facebook use to work through Moto's blur service.
Now that I have CM, there is no more blur and no more facebook...
Besides getting a VPN to bypasss China's firewall, is there any facebook app available now that works through their own server?

If you want more functionality there is always the possibility to just visit the mobile/regular website via your browser. It only takes 1 tap more if you have facebook listed in your favourites.

Gmail and face time?

Can we not use gmail video chat to do face time?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
are you talking facetime as in apple? I think they only allow face time with other apple users
Well. You know how Google has a webcam video chat on gmail via webcam/laptop. Thunderbolt has front facing video camera. why couldn't we use gmail video chat on thunderbolt to talk to people on PC or laptop. Sorry if it is a dumb question.

Hmmmm... I wonder if the Honeycomb GTalk app would enable video chat... I'll try to decompile and fix for 2.2. First I need the apk...any links?

i have a xoom at work that we are testing, I will try to pull the .apk from google talk via titanium backup tomorrow since I have not rooted that device.
I was video chatting on my Xoom to my girlfriend the other night. I forget if it was the in the Talk app or not, pretty sure.
As far as "FaceTime", you can video chat with people using Tango and Yahoo Messenger for now, and Skype (with video calling) is coming soon.

I have definitely used video chat on my Xoom from the Talk app.
Let Google Know
I found a thread asking Google to please get video chat rolling here in the Google support forums.
Yeah I don't know if the Honeycomb GTalk app would just work on Froyo considering that GTalk is apparently heavily baked into a lot of Android features. But this would be an amazing feature. Maybe more people would finally start using GTalk too since it's hard to get my friends to kick their SMS addiction.

[Q] So there is no comparable app like flipboard or planetary for android pad?

These two are my fav on ipad2, flipboard for social news and planetary for visualuzing music collection.
Do screened some in android market, none I found good enough to ....
Any app you found good?

You may want to check out Taptu for Honeycomb

Check out Feedly too.

I would highly recommend pulse. I use that app more than anything else and on the tablet the split screen is really nice.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App
Try the following:
Feedly
Newsr
News360 (still in Beta but quickly getting better)
Pulse
My favorites are Feedly and Newsr currently. Several more are in beta stages.

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

the same, hope it will be available for android soon.
Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

not really a tablet version, but it works. If it were a tablet version, the left pane would only expand to about a quarter of the page. I bet it works with honeycomb and ics though
Actually it doesn't even works with the honeycomb or ics tablets...Check out some pics here:

IPad and ios version is the same so I don't expect a fully compatible tablet version. A 3rd party fb app is "tablet" ready but lacks the features the current fb app has. Reckon its up to the user if they want aesthetic over features or vice versa.
Webos has tablet version right? But I like the current android version. I used it on mobile.website.

It's not really a tablet version but it's a lot better than the old one.

Friendcaster has all of the features of the regular FB app, at least all of the ones I use. It works great on the TP.

I've tried It and I'll pass it doesn't have the same features as original app. And I don't like ads.

I really like the touchpad version, especially the magazine style news feed. The sliding of the panes, and links is just like the rest of webOS, intuitive and smooth. It pulls your pictures into the picture application, WP7 style, another nice treat.
The phone app version on Android seems such a waste of the screen. When on the android side I use dolphin browser to get the full site.
The superior Facebook app is just another reason I use Android less and less on my touchpad.

Tagging friends using @, integratedvchat and messaging inbox, also some posts don't show up if users set certain privacy settings.
Also some features have to be opened on the site since friendcaster doesn't support them natively

That's one thing I miss from WebOS it had a really good FB app, and I liked how it linked your facebook albums into thep hoto app.

A good Facebook + Twitter app?

After happily using Seesmic, now I am looking for a replacement as there is some issue due to which it cannot update Facebook.
After trying many apps (Hootsuit, Seesmic ping, tweet caster, tweetdeck etc) have still not find a good app that has below features:
1. Update status on twitter and Facebook (most do)
2. Upload photos to Facebook (surprisingly none do it, they just post link on my wall)
3. Tag friends in posts
4. Schedule status updates, not really imp as I use buffer.
Thanks in advance for the help
None?
