Sent ya a PM with the catlogs. Think I got it to work. Let me know if it didn't come through. Glad to help!
[Android Apps and Games] L.D.A:
i try it app, work good.:o
[Android Apps and Games] ajcmaster:
Excelent work!

Only thing is that ad on the top. I would buy a Pro version to remove that and support you.

Or maybe you could accept external donations and send an APK without that...

EDIT:

I'm not getting any notifications... I downloaded and installed both the needed apps.

It's a Gaslaxy S4 GT-i9505
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
There is a Pro version in the play store, look under more apps by Team2Soft from the main Fast for Facebook entry.

Or search for Fast Pro for Facebook.
[Android Apps and Games] ajcmaster:
Yeah I found it.

The notifications began to work out of the blue.

The problem now is that the messages takes a long time to load every time I open the app. Seems like the app doesnt keep worlibg on background. Every time I open it its restarts loading notifications and messages and stays blank until its done.

Is that normal? Its very annoying
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Hi,

well this is normal because there are no background or hidden services in Fast. How much you have to wait everytime?
[Android Apps and Games] ajcmaster:
Yeah thats what I thought.

5-7 seconds on Wi-Fi and almost twice on 3G.

Well, particularly, I am actually trying to find an alternative to the original Facebook app, which imho is garbage.

Would be no problem to have it running in background for me, as I'm using a SGS4. But I'm not here to change your project, it is very good.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:

[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Holy shnickt! The gallery comments and description pull up is awesome. This UI just continues to get more and more beautiful!

Although all my notifications and events disappeared on Fast Pro a couple of days ago, forgot to mention that, don't know why it happened, I just opened up Fast Pro one day and poof, events and notifications blank! And they're not back on this version either...
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Good!!! ThaNk you ;)

Mm can you check on permissions view if you have notifications and events permissions checked?
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
All checked and accounted for, sir!
[Android Apps and Games] frenzyboi:
Clean install on v2.1. Open Fast. Then click "Permissions". Boom, FCs. Try that a few more times, same results. I've attached the logcat. Hope it helps! :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Damn :D I will contact you via pm to find a solution ;)

Great! I will check it right now, thank you
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Same thing also happening on my Nexuses? Nexa? Nexii? Nexae? 7 (2012) and 4

Happens when there are no used login slots and you tap the permissions button...

Maybe make tapping on it in this manner bring up a toast notification along the lines of "Please select a login slot to view permissions" ?
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yep, i am improving the layout behavior in order to hide buttons that don't work without correct login! :)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
By the way, I couldn't attach this in a PM, so here's the logcat for notifications and events opening
[Android Apps and Games] dark_knight35:
I'd say 'Nexi' (plural of Latin o-declination), but I guess that when I talk German, 'Nexen' is also a good choice :D.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
from the logcat appears that you have no new events... have you some new events on Facebook?

There is no trace of notifications on the logcat, can you send me the logcat from the opening of Fast?
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Maybe I have no events coming up and they all disappeared because they're past... Although, that Logcat should contain the notifications, I slid to them and even gave the button an extra tap to be sure.

And, that is from the opening of Fast, at least I cleared it before opening fast, did the notifications and events, then dumped what I got to that text file.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
try to refresh the notifications and after send me the logcat (even if is blank, maybe the pull works, but I can't guarantee this)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Here we go, I even tapped around the stuff twice for good measure

I do have 5 notifications on there, but I did have a lot more, all the older ones are gone
[Android Apps and Games] ipdstnger2:
Awesome update! 2 requests. Can we have the option to invert scrolling? Aaaaand.... Can timeline save position? Other then that HUGE improvement over last build. No FC's here anymore! Thank you for your hard work.

Sent from my PC36100
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I think that it's working well and the notifications are simply old.

Facebook deletes old notifications on the API "side", so that's why the list is small!

Thank you so much!

Invert scrolling where? :)

Timeline saved position is a bit tricky on the system that I've built for Fast, I am already thinking about a solution, don't worry!:good:
[Android Apps and Games] Census Taker:
As others have said this is a fantastic up-grade! Well done!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
cool, thank you! :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:

[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Got some bits here... Meant to post this yesterday really:

Gallery UI, while beautiful, loads images incredibly slowly now.

Do we really need the gigantic profile picture in the about section?

Bug from 2.0 - Video upload needs the same caption adding facility as picture upload - or some kind of preview, or the ability to cancel

Uploading media to Fast when sharing from another app needs to bring up a notification of upload progress and completion in the shade.

It wouldn't hurt to also make a progress/completion notification come up in the notification shade for uploading pictures and videos from within Fast

When someone adds a life event to their timeline, it would be nice to see what it was, rather than just "XX added a life event from XX date to their timeline"
[Android Apps and Games] Nexxusel:
Excellent application, there is a bug when I want to play a youtube video, if you play in the "image" of the video, it opens the youtube app but it gives an error, but if you play on the video link works fine.

I can not see any photos of any of my albums, thumbnails are loaded, but when I select any stays loading

I'm on 2.1_xda_2

Could you create a fourth layout that is just like the third layout, but the comments, likes and share are on the bottom of the image and not over the image?

Is there a possibility that when the same person is tagged in multiple photos, be displayed as the official facebook application, for example swipe to the right, in the same place?

I think this application is going to be better when Facebook deign to create the Group Chat api. Any idea when this may happen?
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
I can confirm the slowly loading of pictures when viewing albums. The thumbnails are loading fast. And sometimes a picture does also but most of the time it's loading extremely long.

however the amount of time the messages are loading has decreased significantly for me. Great work as always. I'm really happy that I bought the pro version because it's really nice how you get steps further and further with the app and the way you maintain it.

but I have a request ;) do you remember I asked about the custom colour picker ;) how's the status on that? :)

and also if you need some people for testing I'm sure a few would be glad to help :)

the last thing have you heard about the beta testing that Google offers with the groups in Google plus and downloading via playstore? Maybe that would be a good thing for you and the pro user's that are willing to help you.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
The gigantic pic comes from nowhere.. I didn't changed anything and now is big ahha thx for noticing.

The video upload is not a bug it:s hiw works for now :D i will improve it for sure ;)

Gallery view works fine on my devices,

I will check on others.

thank you for the feedback, I will think about your suggestions and check the YouTube issue.

What? :)
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
just read my post again i had a little conflict with the tapatalk app :D

Gesendet von meinem HTC One mit Tapatalk 4
[Android Apps and Games] Rudjgaard:
I use security code to login, when i receive the sms the login screen gets refreshed so i can't access
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx for the feedback.

About the colors, I have scheduled this for the next update, not this one. I am sorry but the improvements of the 2.1 have an higher priority.

I will do it, don't worry ;)

Have you tried with the latest version 2.1?

By the way this is a problem with FacebooK SDK, I can't do anything :/
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
okay thanks for the kind answer and sorry for the nagging about this feature ;) but if you find something good you want it always a little bit better, right? :D

anyway thanks ;)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
eheh that's true man! :good: Actually I am unsatisfied of every update, I always want to do more and follow all the feedback, but there is always too much to do :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Guys are you facing issues with images zoom feature? I've run some tests and sometimes the zoom view is blank. Can you confirm that?
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Cannot confirm at this time, everything seems to be okay...

Although I retract my earlier statement that pictures in gallery are slow to load, in fact they're not loading at all! Just gets stuck on the spinning circle
[Android Apps and Games] Bob823:
When I'm using the "original" Facebook app, I get different (also more and newer) news. Some entries don't show up on Fast. Any idea why that is?

Edit: Same (less news than FB app) goes for Atrium and Spatio.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Hey, I bought your app on the play store (it's the 2.0 version) and for some reason each time I want to check a post or a picture in a post, the app wants the permission to post something to the person who's post I wanted to check. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something, but if I pay for something I don't want it to spam around... Please elaborate on this.
[Android Apps and Games] juvi77:
I noticed this too when using the regular Facebook app. Definitely not seeing the same newsfeed posts if I compare both versions at the same time. First noticed it because my Wife's posts for some reason aren't displaying in Fast but they're sure there on the regular Facebook app.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
I had this problem ages ago, back when Fast was in fairly early Beta... I believe most, if not all, problems of this type boil down to Facebook permissions.

There's only so much that Facebook allows third party apps to access, and if your Facebook friends have the third party apps permission disabled, Fast cannot read their posts. This was the case with my wife's account, she had disabled them because she was trying to quit Farmville, I re-enabled the permission on her account, and Fast can now read and display her posts.

Of course for other FB friends, it's not that simple, and it ends up being a limitation of third party Facebook clients that we have to live with.
[Android Apps and Games] madprofessorus:
This app is very good and surely faster ,compared to official one,and since I don't have a...power phone, I mean a very powerful one.I liked most the ability to see posts in full screen, I only found scrolling a bit weird sometimes, it goes too fast. I couldn't find subscriptions list, is it supported?
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I am working on this, I think that is solved now :D check the next post with the new apk!:good:

That's totally true, you pay, you want an app that works and also a good support. Don't worry, I have improved permissions management. Tomorrow I will push the 2.1 update for free and pro version. If you will have again permissions issues we will investigate ;)

Eheh I remember!! That's something that can't be fixed, third party apps are good for a quick view of Facebook from the phone or tablet, that's it. No one can create a 100% full alternative to Facebook client. :crying:

There is a white list for some features, but it's for the big and ultrasuper trusted friendly company.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Ok guys, I have done some improvements in the image zoom loadings and the galleries. Please check if now the pics load correctly. If everything works, tomorrow I will push the update on google play!

Fast 2.1 http://goo.gl/UHGirC
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Man, quit playin' XD

The loading on galleries is not only working again, but is now near instantaneous.

I couldn't help but let off a little giggle when I saw how fast the pictures in the gallery loaded.

It's almost as if you're saying the bolded words with an incredibly smug look on your face.

You magnificent b***ard
[Android Apps and Games] dreamland2000:
What about getting these releases on the paid version? Is this possible?
[Android Apps and Games] Nexxusel:
I found four bugs when i try to add a friend (when i try to accept the request).

I dont try the other way.

* i get a FC sometimes when i update my status

The permission "post on your behalf " is keep asking over and over again

the push notifications dont work :S
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Aahahah that's what I wanted :D

Yes, but I usually update the pro version after a good and long testing ;)

What version 2.0 or 2.1? Thx
[Android Apps and Games] madprofessorus:
Tried last night the new version,really liked the ability to scroll through photos,and still remains...fast!
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Oh yeah, one thing... It's great to have the ability to press the button to navigate through photos, but what about one to go in the opposite direction?

Also, I don't know what the problem is, but I still appear to have issues with posting when returning to Fast from multitasking...
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
yeah one button for the opposite direction would be very good. :)

I think I found one more bug for you to squash before the release :) if I'm viewing a picture in the album from someone and swipe up to have the comments showing, clicking on the first person that commented will not bring me to their profile but only back to the picture. for the second person and afterwards it works just fine :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
1) Done :D

2) posting a comment or status? What views are affected?

Yeah, there is an invisible drag zone, I will reduce the size, thx ;)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Comments, haven't checked status yet, will check now.........

Posting status is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Nexxusel:
2.1
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Android version? Try to give the permission on the permissions list view
[Android Apps and Games] Nexxusel:
4.2.2. ok I'll try
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I've fixed the comment issue during multitasking between apps, I will recheck
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Fast 2.1 is out!

FAST 2.1 is OUT!​

Well, that's it! The new update is online! New improvements and features will come in the next release, so stay tuned guys!

Have a nice update! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Coece:
i must say, youre great developer so far , i used your app 5 months ago and i wasnt satisfied because of slowness and stuff, but now it great :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Updated to your latest pro version (2.1). The bug where it wants to post to my friends on my behalf is still there each time I open the app and click on a post with our without a picture -seriously why would it post something on my behalf? Further it just crashes randomly. Sad thing to say, but it's more bugged than 2.0...
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Great! Thank you for the support!

Have you checked the permissions on Facebook website? We have tested here the app for weeks, you are the first to have crash issues in the 2.1. Please can you provide a logcat? Otherwise I can't help you :(
[Android Apps and Games] madprofessorus:
Tonight I saw that I can't see photos that are sent via messages, can I do something or is a bug?
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
This is not possible for now, Facebook api have restrictions on chat and pvts. I hope to find a workaround :)
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
I love this app. This is really fast.

But one thing keep troubling me, even in previous versions..

Whenever I share some photos from other user timeline...it ends in different photo on my wall or status...

Am I doing something wrong or this is bug?
[Android Apps and Games] cracks:
Niceone! Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thx!

Well this is something that i have to test, i will update you with the results. Thank you

For noticing ;)

Thank you so much!
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
i think I've just found another bug :D some profile pictures in the message window seem to be pretty outdated. Means they aren't representing the current profile pictures.
[Android Apps and Games] dgustie:
where is disable jump to the top on news feed feature?

And how to tag my friend when i'm update statuses?
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
I am always looking for slimmer facebook client.

I found minor bugs, reported above, so tried again another apps once again.

Let me tell you...I can't find better than this one in terms of slickness and usability. Still can't understand, why rating is less than 4.0

One more thing observed...

After sharing some facebook content...it doesn't appear immediately on my wall / profile. And why there is no refresh option in my wall / profile?
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
And with the new Versions the start time increased significantly l. anything you can do about this? :D
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Because, unfortunately, you'll never get 100% of people to understand that there are huge limitations set on third party Facebook clients that developers can't get around... They want completely full featured clients, but Facebook doesn't allow it. So they mark down the third party app, as they think it's the developer simply being incompetent.

Shame, I know
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
But still one thing quite positive.

This app has higher rating than native facebook app :D
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
This is true XD
[Android Apps and Games] el_easy:
Font size

Why still FAST FB has no ability to change font size?.

Not even pay version have this option..
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Well, that's a cache problem. The problem is that the user pic has always the same url. You have to wait some days, or just wipe out the cache ;)

This is the way to save a lot of bandwidth and to have faster loadings!

There is no option to disable jump on top, at least for now ;)

IT's not possible to tag friends due to Facebook API limitations. You can tag only if you associate a place with the status update (Check-in)

Thank you so much for your feedback (it's important because you have the experience on other apps ;) ).

Sometimes Facebook doesn't bring the latest story on the user feed, it's a strange behavior, maybe there are deeper controls or just some lag.

I will add a refresh feature in the wall.

About 4 stars.. well I have to literally fight against a lot of people :D

It's really hard to achieve 4+ rating.. one bad review and three 5 stars are useless... take these examples and have fun :D

What can i do? :/

What's your device?

Shame, shame, shame! Maybe I have to write a better description about this.. but people will not read it as usual! ahha

The problem is also that the are many many users (35%) that don't know english, so I can't explain to them correctly the issue, they got mad and put 1 star... no patience at all!

Pay version = Free version. Pay users pays for a better support, no ads and to support my work ( I don't have a permanent job, I am trying to build something on my own):cool:

So, I will add a font customization in the future, just wait for the next update ;)
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
I guess I have found something...

Whenever I click share button for any picture, it gives me three field before I click post.

1. What you are thinking?

2. Link

3. Image

If I delete 2nd field automatically generated while I clicked share, thing seems normal. I am not sure what this 2nd field is exactly meant for.

I found that last post, especially when shared, is not appearing in my wall. The moment you add new post, last missing appears but again latest one is missed.

I am not software developer, but these are my observations or guesses. I hope it helps you to resolve bugs and make this as one of the best facebook client.
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
okay so if i only have to wipe cache it's no problem :)

Mh a htc one so it shouldn't be a problem :D
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thank you for the feedback! There is a bug for the latest story published by user-page, I will fix this asap.

I will investigate on sharing issue ;)

You can wipe cache also from the settings :)
[Android Apps and Games] tobymacfreak:
Amazing app

Blazing Fast! :D
