Just wanted to say that I notice the same thing about Info, usually limited to no Info, same for the Photo tab often no photos show up in Flow when they do in the Facebook app
[Android Apps and Games] dullknives:
is there a way to post to my wall and attach a photo to that post? all i can see is the ability to post text only or upload a photo to an album but not incorporate both into one action.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
surely if you upload a photo to any album with a caption through the flow option in 'share' in the Gallery it will show on your wall?

I wonder if there is any way for an option to open Flow instead of Facebook when push notifications are received through the official client? this would surely save battery compared with the interception route and would save having to have email popups appearing too.

Facebook instant push notifications have been working in the official app since Thursday - tested on both Incredible S Froyo ROM and Gingerbread 2.3.3, setting refresh interval to 'never' and making sure notifications are active.

Push notifications come quicker than emails too.

be great if the dev could somehow intercept these in a similar manner.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
You can't post a photo to a wall anymore (Facebook removed this from the API). You can do is upload photos to an Album and they'll appear on your wall. If you want to add text, add it as a caption (Edit Photos)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Hmm, the official app still isn't notifying me.

Anyway I'll have a look to see if I can intercept their notifications. I doubt it though...
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
is there any possible way we can darken the blue theme of the app to make it look more facebookish/less royal-blueish.

i realize its a *****y request, and id do it myself, but it would be a pain to do it everytime the app updates.

just a thought....bottom line is: this is your baby
[Android Apps and Games] Pandemoniumone:
Excellent update!

Excellent update OP, love the new look of the app!
[Android Apps and Games] dullknives:
ditto. seems to be running stable and the new look is great.
[Android Apps and Games] CooTek:
Great, thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
as i commented on the market: you are revolutionizing facebook for android. and you are an outstanding developer......you listen to requests and you interact with your users (on here, and on twitter)

hands down, best facebook app....would love to see scrollable widget and chat....but to be honest, this app is still as close to perfect as you can get. outstanding job!
[Android Apps and Games] Guticb:
I have to say, I'm more than impressed with the app. I sent an email letting you know about a crash, and 6 hours later, a fix was on the market.

People complained about how it looks, and very quickly, there was a great overhaul!

Not only have you built an excellent app, you've been awesome to your userbase.

Thanks, man! I'm loving the paid version, and I've recommended it to tons of friends!
[Android Apps and Games] rex4u:
Hi,

Just started using using FLOW and it is constantly showing "Nothing to Display" :(

Official Facebook is showing all feeds.

Plz advice or fix.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
My setup with the official app is refresh interval set to 'never' and notifications active ticked. They work every time on my HD2 now whether I'm running a Sense 2.2, 2.3 or stock Gingerbread ROM.

Maybe you have to have the app authorised with Facebook through the settings screen?

Comments + albums

Is it possible to see comments (or at least an indication that a comment is there) when scroll through pictures in an album? This is my biggest annoyance with facebook on android, and maybe I'm just doing something wrong. I know I can hit the menu button and then choose comments, but I hate having to do it for every pic in an album just encase someone posted a comment. Am I missing something?
[Android Apps and Games] thewahlrus:

[Android Apps and Games] Alexander6501:
Why is the gmail notification used over C2DM? Is it the compability with Android 1.6+? Or is it the Facebook API that won't let you? I'm getting double notifications now.. (1. New e-mail 2. New notification)

Except for that, I am very happy I purchased this app, official Facebook app does not notify me at all..
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Because C2DM would mean I would have to setup a server to do it all. There's two problems with this:

It's hard to do.

It would mean I would have all of your access details (not username and password) on the server. Too many privacy issues.
[Android Apps and Games] thewahlrus:
Do what I did, make another gmail account to use just for facebook. You can then disable gmail notifications for that account on your phone and still receive notifications for your default gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
There are screenshots on the Market listing (linked on the OP).
[Android Apps and Games] Alexander6501:
Thanks for your response. Does this mean that C2DM is absolutely not suitable for "small" developers, or does it just not work out in this case? Nevertheless I do not see why Facebook seems to put no effort at all in building a proper Facebook app for Android. Your app seems so much more responsive than theirs.

Is there a way to get the font color changed to black? I am using Konikub's theme Alouysis and I can't see the posts.

Thanks in advance!!
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
It'd be nice if you could implement checking in folders. Normally I filter my Facebook emails and it'd be nice to have them not touch my inbox at all. I just bought the app specifically for this feature since it doesn't drain the battery like Facebook's pull notifications does. I got one "This app is not licensed message", but it went away (I paid via Bill My Sprint Account, maybe that's why?). Otherwise an awesome app.

I'm not saying screw customers over, but if moving away from 1.6 will make the app better, especially the notifications, please consider doing it.
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
The last update broke popup notifications for me. I'm getting blank popups now.

[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
Yup. I'm using Gmail notifications. It's deleting them like it's supposed to but it's not notifying me.

EDIT: Getting them on time now.
[Android Apps and Games] thewahlrus:
Maybe a facebook problem then. I'll see if it sorts out.
[Android Apps and Games] aftab565:
I find it more beautiful in looks . loving it .

better that stock FB app.
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
The only thing I wish is for the main menu to have some more color. That's a lot of blue. Other than that, it's worth every penny.

I was wondering, when using Gmail-based notifications, are the popups based on them or is it that Flow refreshes when it sees a Facebook email and then notifies? Because if it's the latter, getting a bunch of notifications will drain your battery since it'll refresh for almost every email.
[Android Apps and Games] ybyb:
while viewing an album the arraows i feel should be like a brighter white instead of the pale grey since it feels like its disabled.

Anyone also having this or is it just with me?

Also which is the best way for notifications (has minimal affect on battery ofcourse) gmail or the normal one ?

Also after using the app i'm getting that the app has crashed n all in the notifications error. is it me or is it the universal truth ?
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Takyon:
Loving this app, but latest update will not allow me to view any photos.

Sam issue on my wifes phone too.

I was going to purchase but this irritation occurred. Will purchase when this is corrected.
[Android Apps and Games] Copacaba:
Will this App show me as online in facebook chat when using?
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
I believe when it sees a Facebook notification email come in it processes that email (based on your archive/delete settings) and then checks the status of that notification on Facebook (so if you get it while you are on FB and already have opened that notification you don't also get the popup).
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
With the latest update I sometimes get notifications and sometimes not.

Also to the guy who asked which notification method uses less battery: it looks like the app refreshes the newsfeed everytime you get a Facebook email. So if you get a lot of notifications, using normal refresh. If you get some here and there, use Gmail notifications.

Edit: Found the issue. 9/10 times, the notification is being marked as read before we're even notified. Sometimes the icon shows up in the notification bar then goes away.
[Android Apps and Games] benq3x:
Great, thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
When you receive a Gmail from Facebook, Flow will then download any unread notifications from Facebook, and display the unread ones.

It does not update the newsfeed when you receive a Gmail.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
Have you found a way to intercept Facebook App notifications instead of Gmail for those whobare able to get them? Only problem with the Gmail method is that it seems to use a lot more battery than the push method employed by the official app, so I have been having to use official notifications then open up Flow manually to read them
[Android Apps and Games] brol1k:
Is it true handmark is gonna be handling this app?

Tapatalk'd on the Evo
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
Believe he's working with them now.
[Android Apps and Games] Product F(RED):
That's because the Gmail method doesn't actually include reading the emails to notify you. Flow sees there's a new email and then refreshes the notifications normally inside the app. THEN it tells you. So in some cases, you could be refreshing several times an hour if the notifications are far enough apart.

Agreed. Flow sounded better and the icon looks much better. Friendcaster sounds cheap and generic.

Still happening with me. Don't know I get a notification unless I'm using the phone/ They disappear before I can see them. Pro 3.9.1.1
[Android Apps and Games] mikeandjaimie:
Ive been having a HUGE issue with the latest friendcaster and battery drain. I'm running CM7 and noticed that every couple minutes it tries to poll gmail to see if there is any mail, then gets stuck doing so. it gets stuck for about 1-2min, then stops trying, waits a couple min then starts the process over. When I check battery usage it shows gmail raising quickly on battery drain, and after a while, friendcaster starts climbing with it till my battery dies in a couple hours instead of over a day.

As I said, I am running CM7 nightly (flash the lastest everytime) on an S-OFF Desire. The issues dont start until I install Friendcaster.. I have wiped and reflashed my ROM a couple times now, always starts as soon as I install it. Never had this issue till the 3.9.x.x versions. I've tried clearing all cache in recovery and for the apps themselves, as well as uninstall and reinstall.

No notifications of any kind, manual updating only. It was the same after the previous update too.

[Android Apps and Games] itandy:
First off, thanks for creating such a wonderful F/B app. But I do have a problem using the latest version of FriendCaster.

Ever since the introduction of "Save News Feed Position", when I browse through new posts by scrolling upward, the scrolling experience is not as smooth as before. It's like FriendCaster tries to realign itself once in a while and the screen will jump to new position.

Not sure if I can properly describe the problem. But much appreciate if this problem can be fixed. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Lord Takyon:
Tbh this app is superior to the official app by a long way.

I don't mind using the free version until this issue is resolved. I just wish it wouldn't crash when I accidentally catch the advert at the bottom, 50/50 chance lol
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Friendcaster just eaten 140mb of my monthly 200mb data 2 days ago. I suspect that a loop was triggered and it kept drawing data. After confining 3g usage of Friendcaster the crazy usage of data stopped. I am not sure whether I should enable it again.

Excellent app, apart from this new bug.

[Android Apps and Games] xuxuzao:
thinking about battery life and wakelocks,

wich type of notification should i use?

push c2dm?

tks
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
I personally prefer gmail-push notifications because it is virtually instantaneous, whereas i have noticed when using C2MD that the notifications can be up to 8min delayed at times.

1. create a new/seperate gmail account specifically for facebook notifcations (name it like yournamefacebook@gmail.com)

2. logon to facebook.com, go under account settings, add this new gmail address, and go through all proper steps to have facebook now send all notifications to this address

3. with your phone, go to settings>accounts and add the new gmail address as a new account. turn on auto-sync for it.

4. go to the gmail app on your phone and turn off notifications for the new address

5. once you add it then go into friendcaster and choose gmail notifications option, add the credentials, and voila! - you now have instantaneous notifications with no evidence of gmail even being involved....win.
