My rom is an official rooted stok ics and, despite I've also unistalled and installed FB app, I can't see timeline. Instead I have it with the same app on the phone... do you have a clue?
There's another fb app thread here.
It seems the app hasn't been fine tuned at all for Android and various devices.
narrow column
cropped photos
screen caps (if you're sharing games in a game group) are cropped in half...so annoying.
IIRC actually, I think my gal tab 10.1 DID display Timeline fine. IT doesn't on the 8.9.
On my 8.9 it sometimes shows timeline, but as of the moment it doesnt, cant even view photos or albums now

Facebook app for android is just [email protected] It seems they didn's spend much time in devoloping it.
I hope further versions will be better
Hi, I don't know guys how, but it may have to do something with cm10 JB 4.1.2 because since I installed that version, Facebook app just works fine. Proper timeline, photos, etc.
I find the website is way better than the app. In most cases it's faster too.

Let me start by saying, i'm running stock untouched, unrooted, i turned it on and installed apps from the market, version of Gt10.1. It is the 32Gb version and came with 3.1 on it.
I've had my Gt10.1 for almost a week now and I must say that I'm stunned at the frequency of FC errors from various apps. I mean even my "Samsung Account" force closes after each restart.
Anyone else noticed that the screen isn't calibrated correctly. Seems I have to touch to the right of what I intend to select. This is particularly noticeable when selecting text in the browser or in text editors such as this app.
Should I reset to factory?
A lot of apps that work just find on my Epic4G are unstable or not available ... like where is facebook???? And how come nearly every game is either buggy or not available... EA games are just unsupported?
Is there a place anywhere that filters the marketplace by supported os version ? I.e. what is proven to work on HC 3.1

Facebook has been pulled from the tablet market for a while.
The samsung force close is on every tablet I think after reboot
I'd try resetting and see if that helps with the force closes and the screen inaccuracy. Maybe try not loading every app you had before. If that doesn't work, take it back to where you bought it and see if you can get an exchange.
Yeah its disgracefull that samsung have released the tab with so many bugs. Im writing this now on my tab and the text cant even keep up with my typing...the whole gt 10.1 is an unpleasant experience, the amount of force closes is staggering and unaceptable. theres no filterin the market to show only tab apps, it gives off a high pitch noise after every selection from the speakers, theres no predictive text input, the video play back its utter crap,why dont the home buttons auto hide to give more screen space, reading books is awfull due to each page being out of focus for a split second before being displayed properly. Theres people with dust under the screen, oh and the batteru life is in my opinion well below stated. and last but definately not least yeah it does flash in websites but not 100% some sites work and some are awfull,,,,

I feel for u. I've resolved the laggy keyboard by sticking with either the Android keyboard or Thumb keyboard. Both perform excellently. My experience has been that hidden home buttons seem to be a per app behavior. Example. Kindle app does it beautifully. I also have not experienced the out of focus issue. The video / screen rendering is unparalleled. Ive only experienced poor battery stats when I'm streaming from a weak wifi connection.. like being tethered to my phone running 3g 3bars or less.

-There is a problem with the way the stock browser handles text selection in web fields, it's probably related to some of the JavaScript problems the browser has. Until it gets patched a workaround is to use the Opera web browser.
-There are a few lists that people have compiled of HC optimized apps and games: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032381
@richie_jones:
-Turn off audible selection under settings>sound
-The default Samsung keyboard has XT9 predictive text, but you have to go into settings to enable it first. There are also numerous alternative keyboards to use if you don't like that keyboard.
-Video playback is very good on the tab. But like every tablet on the market you should convert your video to mp4 first for optimum results, or use an alternate video player such as MoboPlayer, Rock Player, Vplayer etc. If you don't know how to covert video files then check this thread for some simple instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825

Yeah I believe the samsung force close is caused by an authentication issue on the samsung account. I looked in log with aLogCat after a force close (they always come at boot and always twice) and there was an exception logged from the samsung account app.
This happens when connected to a wifi network and also when not connected. Whatever causes it to bw unable to authenticate, the Samsung Account app certainly doesnt handle that condition well.
And finally, you think Samsung would have caught this one....
I took my Tab 10.1 back and got a Tab 7" instead. Honeycomb has a long way to go really, and all the issues the OP had I can attest to. Hardware was nice, slim and tight but given the software issues I couldn't justify the $500 tag when a 7" tab was going for $200 brand new. Very happy with my decision.

I reset to default and everything works perfectly now... the text SLOWNESS is limited to the default browser app.. I use either Opera or Dolphin now.
My only gripe now is with Samsungs advertisement or shall I say FALSE advertisement... this is not the tab they advertise. It does not have touchwiz, mini apps or Media Hub support

So you have no lag on the home screens when scrolling from one to the other, you have no typing lag on google browser. I don't think so....
Smooth it definitely is not"..."
no lag with he screens. Keyboard lag yes. Otherwise its running nice. It is a leaked tw rom that has been modified. I expect a custom rom based on the official release in a couple days.
Hey guys, since I got my nook, I've noticed that in the Facebook app and in the browser, the user experience isn't that good. The app has too many bugs, and its very hard to chat in the browser. So I was wondering, is there a better Facebook app that I can use, that includes chat? I'm running a recent CM7 nightly.
Thanks!
The browser for FB blows, the Android market FB book works great. But since the FB app is open source many have modified it and improved it. I like "Black Facebook " it's cool with transparency, with a dark and has added screen transition animations. Do a search and you'll find a thread here at XDA for it.
Good luck.
The thing is, there are so many bugs with the market app (missed notifications, messages, chat is buggy, etc). Those would also be present with "black facebook" if it's based on the original, correct?
Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking for something more tablet optimized and stable.

Friendcaster works great and its also optimised for tablets.
I've tried everything : flashing Honeycomb, CM9, AOKP and now official 4.0.4. Never had timeline on my SGT 10.1
The facebook app looks like crap in my SGT 10.1 , I cannot use it in landscape mode because the photos in the news feed are half showed and of course no timeline.
on my SGS 2 the app is working fine : timeline, landscape and portrait are switching just fine. So please please how can I fix this?
Here is two screenshots from my tab and phone
Badger Facebook to make the a tablet version of the app. They do on iOS. The current app just wont do it, youre better off going to http://m.facebook.com in a browser for the time being.
Sent from my GT-P7510
So everyone with Galaxy Tabs has this stupid version of facebook?
Yes. Some idiot at Facebook decided to give the finger to Android tablet owners and remove the previous optimization. It's formatted for phones only now which it why it looks like garbage. Use the website. It works just fine.
No full screen photos in website mode, and also a little bit slow than the Facebook app. Those Facebook stupid people shouldn't breathe
I think FriendCaster looks/and is made for Tablets. It looks wonderful on my GT 10.1.

Tried all releases back to 1.7. None of them are tablet optimised. And earlier than 1.8 wont show profile pages at all.

I have this problem too. Am on PA 0.5 and it was working without any problems then one day I realized that the layout had reverted to the old version.
After various tests such as changing App dpi, clearing cache, even dalvik (?) I'm at a loss.
Looks like there is yet to be a solution for this.

If you use FB app in portrait mode it's a little better layout, but not much.
Friendcaster has an awesome UI and I like it, but it doesn't pick up all my friends' posts. Apparently if they have set their privacy settings to block 3rd party apps, Friendcaster can't recognize any of their posts.
I still go back to the browser version. I was using the regular FB page through the browser but it was SOOOOOO slow. The mobile page is much better. Maybe some day they will come out with a tablet app...
I just found FAST for Facebook. It's in Beta but impressive so far.

I've tried the 1.9.0 the 1.9.2 , today I've updated to the latest 1.9.8 Same old stupid interface.
Sadly I have minimal to zero knowledge about how to modify .apk`s but I think if we could somehow ``tell`` to the facebook app that is not running on a tablet but let's say on a galaxy nexus or s2, s3 (you name it) this should do the trick. So, how to mod facebook to ``think`` that is running on a phone not a tablet?
it is a TERRIBLE app
In my household there is a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and an ASUS Transformer Prime. The Facebook app looks just fine on the ASUS, as if it's been optimized, but I get the same result you do when using the Tab. It's REALLY frustrating, and will hopefully get resolved if enough of us pester the app maker. I've left an updated review for each iteration, and I see TONS of Tab owners complaining about the app in the reviews.
After a quick search I've found that if you change the build.prop to other tab ( or phone ) the facebook app might work. The problems are : I don't know how to that. Will this have an impact on the installed apps?.
Timelines seem to be working now. Fb must of changed the code on their end. Can only view in portrait mode really, its doesnt scale right in landscape. At least you can access peoples photos, about etc tabs now too.

Edit: and its gone back again. No more timelines.!
A friend of mine as an Allview Tab wich is half the price of the Galaxy Tab, has an HD resolution and guess what? Facebook app is working perfect, just like on my phone, so **** *** Samsung for doing some great devices but forgets some small things like this, wich is kind of sad.
I got a GT-P3100 (Samsung Tab II ) with CM10nightly and still face this problem ...
I when I have the time I will try to change the product Id of the tab to see if it works. Anyway F*** y** Samsung.
Today, I update my FB version, and the problem continue...

OK for starters I am very well versed in Android. I've been around the block for a long time and I've built my own roms, mods and basic apps. But I am stumped.
Now for record I am rooted and running the newest nightly from CM. (Not that it matters since this issue happens on every nightly). I'm using the Goo GAPPS12122013. I have two Google accounts signed in. Me and the wife, since I used her Nexus 7 credit to buy some apps. Dual accounts works great BTW it also allows syncing of instant uploads which is a plus.
My device is signing me out of stuff. The two culprits is YouTube and TapatalkHD. No joke YouTube will work flawless for a day or 2 and then ill open it and there is no user account signed in. So I have to do it manually. Then TapatalkHD says I'm running an unauthorized copy and must buy it. Nothing even a data wipe for the app fixes it. I have to go into the play store, uninstall it, watch it change to 'bought' then reinstall it and it works fine.
I don't get it, this never happened on my N7 on any rom not even the Gnex does it. All have dual accounts as well.
Any ideas as to what causes this? My Gmail, G+, Drive... they all don't seem to be affected. One commonality is that this issue may arrive after a crash/hardreset occurs. I find it odd though that its just these two every time.
Thanks!

I think it's a bug with the latest YouTube app, it started happening as soon as I updated to 4.3.9.
I have it in YouTube as well, currently stock rom
OK excellent, I thought I was going crazy lol..
Any ideas about TapatalkHD besides the fact that it's a super buggy app?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
I don't have quite the same problem but every other dayish (probably) the YouTube widget has the information as if i wasn't signed in, then every time i click on YouTube it says 'Signing in' quickly and the widget goes to my stream. It's never really bothered me but it points to it being something stock.
I am running stock 4.2.2, have other users and have YouTube updated to latest version.

I'm after the original gallary app from the Nexus device for the Note 2, because Samsung's version is horrible, it's ultra choppy, it's worse than a HTC Hero, especially because I'm using Picasa, next to it I have my Nexus 4 side by side, everything is instant, scrolling, loading thumbnails and loading the images, just as fast as offline in the nexus version of the gallery app.
Even offline photos in the sammy version are choppy, you don't even want to bother trying to pinch to zoom, and of course this is all assuming you can even get the app to work, it usually freezes half way through a swipe, showing half of 2 images and only fix is a restart of the phone.
Samsung really screwed up some things on their OS, it's generally pretty slow all over, people said how fast this phone is, My S2 performs just the same, and vastly faster in the gallery and of course it's software which is to blame as I did put CM10.1 on my Note 2, which made is just as fast as the nexus, maybe even a bit faster, but then you lose the S Pen, camera app, multiview, etc...
I can live with the Lagwhiz, but I'd like a nice gallary app, I tried some 3rd party ones, which load just as fast as the original android one on the Nexus, but they don't load Picasa files and doesn't look as nice as the original gallery app from Nexus 4.
I found this, which is very fast and looks like JB Gallery, but no online photos from Picasa
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moblynx.galleryics&feature=search_result
Oh yea in addition to be slow or freeze, much of the time it won't even show anything, you open gallery and it's just all black other than the top bar... Samsung really screwed it up.
If u can find the 4.2 cam zip and flash it the gallery comes with it
