I really dislike the UI of the official Facebook app. Although I'm on a tablet, it doesn't have any features that take advantage of the resolution. Instead, it looks poorly stretched and cumbersome...
Do you have any suggestions for a Facebook alternative that can work properly on a tablet? I have already tried FastForFacebook, FriendCaster and Atrium, but I'm not convinced yet.

Not a great answer but I really like Facebook messenger. I only use Facebook to contact people.
Third party apps get screwed by facebook. Many posts won't be displayed. I finally gave up and just use Facebook in a Web browser like on a desktop.

definitely. When posts from My FIANCE are deliberately not served to third party apps, like friend caster, it Sucks.
Unfortunately Facebook basically forces you to use their crap excuse for an app if you don't want to go the browser route.

Facebook alternative? Try either Face to Face v1.2, Talk In Person 2.0, Find A Hobby (HD version) or Life Is Real - version 3.4!
Or you can try Tinfoil for F#c*Book...Ah, Good old #u*kBook

This isn't evo3d specific, but the facebook app really sucks. Is it just licensing that keeps someone from making a better one? I would pay for a FULLY FUNCTIONAL facebook app - something that lets me do everything I can do on the site. and I would like it to have total control over what I have to see in my newsfeed, because I don't care about farmville.
I just want push notifications on my EVO like my wife has on her epic

I use friendcaster Pro, it has push notifications or can use emails like Blackberry
Facebook for iOS is virtually identical and also has issues.
Good call on friendcaster. Way better!
idk if you remember the early facebook app that was out when the Evo first came out a year ago... It was HORRIBLE compared to what we have today, so if anything, we're doing alright compared to that. And that's saying something.
But I agree, I hate having to go to the site to reply to invites to events and whatnot, gets old real quick. I also wish that gawker sites wouldn't go to the mobile site in the stock browser, it won't let you watch any flash videos, and won't let you switch to desktop version of the site. /endrant
Yeah and I will also like to change my profile pic from the app, because even if you go to the site from your phone (in desktop version) it doesn't let you do it cause of the cropping of the pic which is impossible from the phone.

Stock FB app?? I have been freaking out cuz if there is a stock FB app on my 3D Evo...I cant find it!! Wtf?? Where is it?? Or why do you have it and I don't?? Anyway someone can upload the stock apk for me, please?
Thanks!
This time it didn't come pre installed as it was on the 4G, you have to go to the market and download it.
Yeah yeah, its a shooter and I'm not afraid to use it...

I use the official twitter app, does everything I need in a simple view. Since the update it now supports multiple accounts.

ok thanks, is it optimized for the tablet?
I went to the Android market but the 'Twitter' app looks like it's for the phone, is there a HD version?
thanks
im using this one does everything i need

I like plume, it has an in app browser function to view links which works very well.
I like this one:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.thedeck.android.app&feature=search_result
But then again, I use it for my Facebook too.
I use the stock twitter, it may not be designed for tables but they designed it to scale correctly so it looks relatively good.
I've also used TweetComb, https://market.android.com/details?id=com.chriswstewart.twitter&feature=search_result, with good results.

I use friendcaster as well. I'm rooted and use adaway to removed the ads. I completely removed the standard Facebook crapware. Doing that alone incredibly sped up my device.

+1 for friendcaster as well. unlike some official Fbook app versions, friendcaster runs better with correct task handling. no more consistent battery drain due to Fbook always running plus you have better sync frequency settings vs official app
Friendcaster and alphascope can easily be used. Alphascope requires request since it is in beta.
friendcaster is only for facebook.
Is there any app for facebook as well as tweeter (conbined) as is there in HTC-friendstream?

Tweetdeck, I think, has both facebook and twitter.
'Tinfoil for Facebook'
MoPhoACTV Initiative
i prefer "SimpleFeed"...
I have just installed Seesmic and this app has Facebook and Twitter but its just separated whereas tweet deck merges the time line! I like this app tho so will see how i get on!
I'm having several issues with FB, the biggest being after I look at "X" pictures (My man Club?) no pictures will open. I have to reboot the phone and it works for a minute, then same thing? It seems to me, each time a i open a photo/movie and I backout, it stays in memory until FB is usless?
Lastly, and not that I really give a crap, some of my ex-wife post I get, others I dont. The Only reason I mention, she will post pictures of Granddaughter. Friends of mine get them and call and tell me how cute she is. I dont get them. The she will post something else, I get it, so she did not defriend me? makes no sense!
I have version 1.9.6
Anyclue?
Anyone? 100 views and no replys, any thoughs would be appricated.
Don't know about the pictures and videos, but I know you can block specific people or groups from any post you make, so your ex could be choosing to block you on certain posts.

Not to be smart, trust me, she has no clue how. Matter fact, no one in that family nor mine (except me) could do that. Oh well............
More worried about my phone freezing after I open "X" amount of photos. I cleaned up text messages, e-mails, mobile photos today (Photos are on FB anyway). Maybe Photon will run better?
Use friendcaster. Much better than official fb app anyway.
Well, mystery #1 solved (I think), she (they) are not smart enough to defriend me and she swore off FB. But since my daughter loves it and so do her religious friends, they created secret goup just for them. Click on THAT group and post, only they see it. I guess now and then, she slips and just post on her main wall. If I go to her profile, I see ALL the post! That makes sense.
With the freezing, clueless. Since Feb 18th, 2012, I have not installed or updated one single app!

Friendcaster is nice; there's also Fast and Scope (Scope is invite only; install the app and then use invite code "theverge" to create an account) but none of the third-party Facebook apps can see your entire feed. There will always be some things that will not show up in third-party clients.
A more elegant solution I have found is to use Facebook on your mobile browser. It takes some tweaking to get the desktop site to display, but it can be done. Make sure you're accessing www.facebook.com and not just facebook.com; also setting the user agent to desktop can help as well.
Also, you can get the customizable Maxthon (google it, it lets you customize the name, icon, homepage, and other settings). Name it Facebook, give it a Facebook icon and splash screen, and set the homepage to Facebook, bam, you got a Facebook browser. The browser itself is very capable, and has the user agent feature if you want to use it for the desktop version.
It just helps to have options. The Facebook app has always been sub-par.
I use SEESMIC. It works surprisingly well. Works with twitter too, but I use tweetcaster for that.

When my phone starts messing up, it's the first app I delete. Works everytime! and the funny thing, I don't have the other apps you mention here and my auto-update is off for everything. FB just crashes the phone for no reason out of the blue. Always has!
Are you on stock? I'm running MIUI and mine crashes mostly when rotating the screen but sometimes for no reason at all.

I'm stock, but it seems not to matter as I was unlocked and running CM7. Sadly, the only people I know NOT having issues are the 4 iPhone users I know. If I were adding apps and/or doing auto updates, I would maybe understand. I'm not.
Facebook I'd a billion dollar company, producing crap apps. The problem I have with there app is that every update will make or break the functionality. On a side note, the reason handloom works so well on, iOS, is because they have a whooping 10+/- devices to support, versus the hundreds of android devices on various os software. Ie: eclair, froyo, gingerbread, ics, honeycomb, etc. So I can't hate the facebook android devs completely just hate the issues that come with updates!

hi there!
i hope this is the right forum. i have installed cm9 on my samsung i9001 (galaxy s plus) so far so good, beta 2 is running smoothly.
sadly there is no standard email application included in that install, or correct me if i am wrong, at least i couldnt find any.
and whats even more sad is i cant download the gmail app from the market because of my location and something i believe is a name infringement or whatever...
so i am in need of a descent email app. i am currently running a gmail.apk for the v2.3.5. which is kinda buggy...
i think the best for me would be the email app that comes with the sgs+ on stock rom or an up to date gmail.apk would be nice too.
since email is kinda delicate i dont want to use any 3rd party app from the market or is there anything trustworthy?
please help me!
thanks in advance!
Try K9 mail. If an email app is not trustworthy there would be bad reviews.
