Commenting on a status update, a picture was posted by them, if that's relevant.

Also, there were already about 17 comments on that thread before I tried commenting, if that's relevant.

Funny, I've commented on a status update before and it's worked fine; but that was without picture, and I was the first commenter in that instance.

The status update was of a user? (friend or follower?)

Ok, thx... it's not a problem of permission. Maybe facebook has added some crap before or after the real ID of the post and the error popped out. I am trying to like a post of a friend with a photo, but no errors. I will investigate :)

Thank you!

Ah, one user told me that he is finding annoying the immersive mode, what do you think about it?
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
I want to share with you these two big news!

First of all, Fast has surpassed 2 million downloads and it's getting more and more downloads everyday... it's incredible!

The second news is that India is the nation that mostly use Fast, I don't know why, but Fast it's now the 5th social app in India! Just today, It has surpassed Linkedin :D

:highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive: :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
I think immersive mode would work better in photo view, and when you tap on a photo that's part of a news story.

It is a little annoying when combined with the keyboard popping up and down...

I'd say either immersive across the whole app, or reserve it for photos, maybe...

I am from India and let me tell you possible reason,

India is one of the biggest market of two things, low and devices and social networking sites..

and both flawlessly merge only with your app...:good::D

Let me tell you my story.

I had stopped using facebook due to its memory hogging native app and started again only after I discover your Fast for facebook.

I would like to also take opportunity to highlight some my observation on app

Now, from long, I have observed one issue...

Whenever I click share any photo, it lands in sharing page with following autofilled data...

1. Whats in your mind

2. Link

3. Image URL

If I simply click share with same data, it ends up showing different photo in my timeline than I intended. I guess it is showing latest or random picture from the original photo album of my friend from where I shared the link.

This bug is making me mad.

Any work around or solution?

And with latest version,

It's not allowing me to delete the post I have created.

Help me.

Thank you a lot for the feedback, I will check on the share and delete issues. An update will come by the end of December! :)

Aahah nice! :)

You can write on a group tapping on the right bottom button with the arrow (you can post a text, url or photo(with url)).

Lol, I am not japanese and Fast has zero analytics or tracking. You can be safe with Fast ;)

Free pro unlock version is available on appgratis...

http://appgratis.com/in/android/2013/12/23/fast-pro-for-facebook

An update is also available on play store...

I have updated "Fast for Facebook"...

But how to unlock pro features/red icon?
[Android Apps and Games] JohnSpawnVFX:
That's probably only the apk for the free version. Pro version is a separate apk.

I wonder if they have taomorpheus approval to do this...
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
That's something that went wrong... They told me that they want in Italy and Spain a free unlock of pro version... but they activated world wide and I don't know why. I had to update the app and fix this mess. Sorry guys, will never happen again :|
[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
We want it happen again...:D

Not that mess...but free pro unlock worldwide...:fingers-crossed:

That is lighter side...

Now some serious thing...

It's not that not want to spend money...but waiting for some minor things been incorporated in your app....such as

1. Still confused why I always end-up showing wrong pic than intended while sharing friends post...I guess it's picking latest or random pic from his album...I queried you this earlier...

2. More options to tag friends...not only in photo but also in other posts...

Your app is fantastic....if these minor things are over...I'll definitely buy pro version...

Meanwhile...you earlier mentioned update at the end of this month...any update is still due...

I know one minor update just few time back...but I guess it's minor one and major one with new features still due...

Is it so?:fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Hey Tao, you ever thought about adding chromecast support for news feed video playback in Fast?

You'd be the first Facebook client to do so...

Sent from my Nexus Walk-In Freezer
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
The minor update was to fix the appgratis mess.. bad christmas gift for me :/ Btw I have done some test for the 1st issue, the right photo is shared. What's the exact action that you are doing?

For tagging I am waiting a Facebook approval :)

It was in my mind!! The only problem is that I don't own a chromecast yet. It's a feature that will come in the future, nice idea :)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Neither do I yet... The problem is that not enough of the apps that I use are compatible at the moment, and there is no full on screen mirroring, or casting personal files.

So I put forward the idea so that it goes some way to making a chromecast viable for me.

I really do want one just because of its sheer potential, but it's still early days.

[Android Apps and Games] RmatriX1218:
I simply click share button in my friends post to share photo in that post...

It results in 3 fields automatically filled...

1. What are you thinking?

2. Link

3. Add link of a picture

If I simply click post...I found above issue.

If I remove data in 2nd field (link) and only retain 3rd field...it shows correct picture.

I think it mixes things...i.e. 2nd field (link) is intended for some story in some website....but it also end up showing album link...and picks some picture for that.

So, in place of picture in 3rd field, it shows picture resulting from 2nd field.

My guess...:fingers-crossed:

And also confused...why other have not reported such issue...is it for me only?

What are you planning in next update?
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
Hey Tao,

still enjoying your app :)

a little request: would it be possible to add a feature that would allow one to tap in messages view in a conversation on the profile pic to get to their profile? :)
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Yep, I think I'll wait some months and decide! (always if it's light!)

I've added some controls for the photo! You are the only one with this issue, but np... usually a lot of people don't write about this things. Thank you!

The next update is dedicated to typography (new font, better visualization, sharper text, improved readability) and improvements in the main feed scroll and refresh. A complete changelog will come in the next days.

Done! :) Thx for the idea
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Happy new year dear friends! 2014 will be another big year for Fast.

2013 was rich of great moments and that's possible thanks to your support :)

I've waited a lot to say this, but in less than 2 years ( 1 year and 8 months), Fast becomes the first alternative to Facebook client with more than 2.5 millions downloads and more than 500k unique monthly active user.

Even Friendcaster can't beat this numbers (more than 5 millions downloads but not the same active users) and Fast is still growing!

I will always improve the app and follow your feedback. Thank you again guys!

Is it possible that you remove the admod software/permissions from the paid version please? I bought it because I liked the app and wanted to have it ad/trackware free as well as support you. Even if you say it's not doing anything, please remove it from paid.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Nice! I will order one too ;)

Hi! Admob is disabled on PRO version, I can't work on two different versions, it's hard to update both so I've decided to put admob in sleep on PRO, it's just few kbytes ;)
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
well, not sure how this sleep works as you call it and its not about the few kb, but its about the fact that its there in a paid version and its a fact that it shouldnt be like that.
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Mm, there are no ads in Pro version! What are you talking about? :)
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
He doesn't like that the permission is there even though it is deactivated... Probably concerned that it could be used secretly to collect data.

[Android Apps and Games] jpcdeux:
Same issues since beginning. Doesn't show all the statuses that official does. Says someone commented on a photo or link but doesn't show what it is
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
The permissions exactly. They are just unnecessary. That's all.
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
It's certainly a legitimate concern, redundant permissions ought not to be in the code at all.

The upsides of having a second version of the app specially for pro users include:

- Greater sense of transparency on the part of the developer (you can make a fairly good marketing point out of removing redundant permissions), and ergo, more trust of the part of the users.

- Makes it easier to add any special pro exclusive features (like chromecast support - I've seen that done with a couple of other apps) in the future should such a thing occur.

- You can mention the great victory of reducing the file size in the changelog

So there are definitely merits to having a separate app build for each version, plus it gives the more security-conscious some extra peace of mind.

Sent from my Nexus Walk-In Freezer
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
There are no permissions for admob!! ;)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

That are used in Fast too :D

And the kbytes gained are very few thanks to proguard. Don't worry guys!

I keep trying to use F4FB... I even bought pro... because I like the lite size and the UI. But I keep ending up having to go back to the monstrosity that is the original FB app because of several glitches with F4FB.

For one, it misses posts. I mean recent posts. Also, there are posts that are just plain missing. Like if someone tells me to look for a certain post (I'm taking about a person's proffifififififiile page and their timeline), the post just won't be there, but it's there on the original FB app. The news feed is always missing many posts as compared to the FB app when I compared the two. Those are my biggest complaints... F4FB id's always missing a lot of posts, one way or the other. And I always find myself going to the FB app when someone wants me to look at a post, because it just isn't there on your app. I love everything else about F4FB, but I just can't use it if it stays misses do many posts... even after refreshing many times. Anything that can be fine about this so I can use your app full time?
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
So I got my chromecast today... Watched an episode of Game of Thrones season 3 in HD on it.

My word...

This is everything I imagined it would be. This has all the potential I thought I saw in it!

Taomorpheus, not just casting Facebook news feed videos, but casting a slideshow of a chosen Facebook photo album (yours or a friend's), controlled from Fast with pause/play, back and forward buttons in the navigation bar...

Oh gosh, this could revolutionise the way we view that funny cat video from 5 years ago our painfully out of touch aunt posted on her news feed!

Or, you know... Make it easier for us to show Facebook pictures and videos with a whole room of people, without making them strain to look at a little screen.

I've never seen something like that, permissions are not the problem here. The problem is that the ad blocker finds the admob jar and wakes it up.

Normally this never happens. I will do some tests and find a solution for this particular case :)

But don't worry there are no active ads on pro!

I've discovered that if you open the app the latest news are almost always the same on facebook website, but if you go on older posts (5-10 hours back) it starts to loose news. It 's the problem of third party apps. I've to check the stream filters and find some new solutions!

woa! That's a good news! I have to buy one, but in Italy it's not easy, they ovepriced it on ebay or website like that.

The facebook features can be endless with friends and family!! I will keep you updated about this :)

[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thank you so much!! Well, order by top stories it's a bit odd because I have no idea how and why facebook decides on the order of top stories. I have some ideas to order the list based on likes, comments and username. ;)

ahah true :D

Yep, it's completely removed (it was disabled in the older version, but it's better in this way) :victory:

Thx man! The delay on notification is something that I am trying to reduce, but it's impossible to have a real time push unless you are Facebook itself :(

Speaking of notifications... I haven't had a single notification from Fast in months.

Is there something going on with the notification app?

Sent from my Nexus 7 in 1 Food Processor
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
It's a problem with android 4.3 and 4.4. You have to open the app of notification and the process starts to work again. It's something related to the new management of resources and cpu usage. I need to find some time and update the notification app.

Moreover, there are so many users that it's really hard to follow the growth, there are more than 300k notifications sent everyday... it's huge!
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
thanks for the new update and for implementing my requests but now I have a few again.

seeing this app always in the right direction wants me to get it only better and better :)

1. is it possible to have an option for square contact pictures in the message view? :)

2. The emoticons in message view are looking somehow blurried :( maybe it's a problem with full hd display on the htc one.

Here's an interesting question for you... What difference, if any, does using ART compared to Dalvik make in terms of the Fast Notification service?

I've switched to ART on my N4, still using Dalvik on my N7.

Sent from my Nexus 7 in 1 Food Processor
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Have to say the app is really shaping up into an awesome experience. I don't really use facebook much, but when i need to use it, it's great with your app - I even prefer it over using it on my pc. One request though, if it would be possible to put in a gesture for "back". Perhaps drawing a circle or just sliding from the bottom. This would be most useful in the what I would call "detailed view" of single posts (where you slide left/right to see newer/older posts).
[Android Apps and Games] taomorpheus:
Thank you so much! I am glad that you and the others appreciate the effort! :)

1. that's strange! :D Do you get an error or you simply don't like it?

2. I know, I bought a package of smileys, but the package didn't have xxhdpi resolution, so in high resolutions is blurry. I need to buy a new one with an higher resolution.

There is no difference for notification service if ART or Dalvik is used. ART simply pre compile the app to run it faster when you open it. I am using Fast with ART without any issue! :)

That's something that I didn't think, but I find it hard to add a gesture control over the gesture implementation for the sliding feature. What device do you have? I always use the back button because I find slower to press the button in the action bar.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
Been using on an LG g2 with slimkat with expanded desktop enabled (I like that very much as I used to have a nokia n9 which had no buttons, but was fully navigatable with gestures and swipes). It's not a big hassle really, but would be a nice addition, if you get the time to look into it.
[Android Apps and Games] BillyD325:
Have you tried LMT Launcher? It implements PIE control as well as gestures on the overall device. It works best on a rooted phone, but recently the developer has made it so it can work on non-rooted devices (albeit with less functionality.)
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
I will look at it, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] crnkoj:
hey i was wondering if it already is possible (looked a bit around the app, but doesnt seem to have the option to me) or if it would be possible for you to implement a list of favorite facebook pages in your app. Eg. lets say you have a facebook page for your app and another develeopoer has a fb page for his app, than i would like to check on these pages from your app, but without liking/following it, but just haveing it sort of bookmarked so i can click on it, instead of having to go to search, typing the name of the page and than click on it.

btw, lmt launcher is most counterintuitive with this app (and most actually) for me (i keep poping up the pie everywhere lol, probably i should configure it better, but just saying as i tried it quickly)
[Android Apps and Games] Freak07:
yeah it's really great to have this app. If I do not want to see facebook the app is just sleeping and not wasting any battery.

1. yeah I guess it's personal preference. I'm not getting any errors. for me the overall image is somehow a little bit out of order when the pictures are circles.

because on the page of messages overview there are squares as well :D would just be great to have this as an option.

what I also noticed is the bubbles(where the actual text is stored) do also look a little bit out of place. Would love to see the messages like hangouts for example. But that is entirely personal preference. :)

2. okay thanks :)

keep up the good work! :)

This or friend caster? Is the official app that bad that I should consider using this and uninstalling the official one?
[Android Apps and Games] JC1988AD:
Well... Depends what you use Facebook for. There are a lot of things third party Facebook apps like this can't do due to facebook's restrictive apis.

If you can live without those things, then yes, this and or friendcaster are good to use.

This one is miles better than friendcaster imho.
