FACEBOOK UPDATE!!!

[theaustins513]

Can someone without sense let me know what the setting to 'sync contacts' changes?

Does having Sense change the way Facebook would sync contacts with this new update? The reason I'm asking is because this update does not sync the contact photos with my Incredibles contacts and it doesn't take you to the contacts profile when you click the shortcut from within the people app.

I wish they had more notifications too in the top bar. Gee, like when someone writes on your wall.

I agree, seems like they keep updating or changing things but basics facebook is to have ALL the notifications integrated. Is it that difficult? Seriously come on, seems so easy to catch up to the iphone app and BB notifications, which were incredible. instant. wow i miss that

I believe Froyo addresses this, no?

It's nice to see an update of any sort, just wish they did some parts differently.

I'm going to continue using Bloo 1.5. - this new Facebook upgrade takes up over 6mg!!!

I like the integration with the contacts and Account and Sync, as this definitely provides a somewhat more complete Facebook-experience than FriendStream. So, I might do some testing and turn FriendStream off in favor of this.

EDIT: I've done some testing, and it seems it won't sync with contacts after all. I've picked existing contacts only, as I don't want 150+ people in my contacts list, but when I press Link to Facebook in a profile, it opens the FriendStream Facebook (Facebook for HTC Sense) and asks me to log in. Aaarrrgh.

EDIT2: Aaaaaand now FriendStream tells me I have no friends. Oh wow.

EDIT3: Just did it all over from the start, and FriendStream managed to find the old links to the contacts so I didn't have to do that all over again. Set FriendStream to sync contacts only, and Facebook 1.3.0 to handle the rest. I really wish they'd introduce more widget styles like FriendStream though. I'd like a widget that fills 4x8 squares on the home screen, instead of the tiny little thing they've got now.

I got this last night and I am still disappointed in it. Notifications are still broken and when go into the app to check them they take you to the mobile site. Back to Bloo 1.5 for me :/

I'm having a problem with my Droid X. It won't even allow me to sync the contacts! I have the option to, but once I hit it and go back one screen, it isn't selected anymore! Weird.

Is it perfect? No... Is it a tremendous improvement over the original? Hell to the yes...

I don't care what iPhone's have that I don't... All I care about is that some developers are making strides to improve on products and not just release it and let it be... If you want to play the "They have this" game, then we have scrolling pics on the bottom... They don't... We have widgets available to quickly check statuses and such from our home screen, they don't...

I understand communicating issues you have with the app and even passing along things you'd like to see in future updates... But complaining about an app in which you don't pay anything for over and over is just absurd... ::Steps off soapbox::

Soooo.... Yeah, I like it!

When I try to play video files in facebook they give an error, "sorry, this video cannot be played" This is with videos that friends post, as well posted youtube videos. anyone else? please check on this and post... HTC EVO with Sense 2.2

It looks like Facebook has taken over this project. Before it was not developed by Facebook itself. Their contact information is now a Facebook address and on it's Facebook page the "this app is not developed by Facebook" is now gone! Looks like we should be getting full support sooner or later!

ok so i have not been able to get my contacts profile pictures to be updated by sense. So can all that be updated with the new facebook...with the contacts i have linked?

 

[efar76]

is anyone else having issues with their friends list within the update? Every time I try to go into "Friends", it gives me a Sorry! force close error... I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling 4 times on my (and my wife's) Incredibles with no luck...

I'm trying to remove my 900 FB contacts, how would I do that? I only want FB data with my existing contacts. Tried the option in settings but it didn't work

If you log out of Facebook, it should remove all the contacts and user related info from your phone. Then log back in and don't sync all contacts, only sync the existing contacts.

Yeah, I'm having a lot of trouble with that function. It seems like it just doesn't want to work.
