Hi,

I have installed FriendCaster and notification type set as Gmail.

One of the issue I am facing is when I pull down to refresh news feed, it keeps on refreshing for quite some time.

How can I resolve this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] hedeboe:
I have done all these things but only gets popups when opening Friendcaster. There is no popup or sound at any time unless I open the program manualy. Weird!
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
i was experiencing this problem for a while...i ultimately discovered that i had changed a setting in the native facebook website at some point that stopped my notifications...

i cant remember exactly what it was, and i cant access facebook at work....but go to facebook on your PC, and go to the notification settings in account management (the page that has the big list of things you can choose to be notified about), and at the top of the page there is a checkbox for the option to only be notified via email of high priority events or something to that effect. regardless of what it says, make sur ethat box is UNchecked.

i think i had checked it at some point after quickly reading it and thinking it was the general option for facebook to notify me by email, when in fact it did the opposite.....that's where skim-reading gets you i suppose.
[Android Apps and Games] Thomas_BA:
Does anybody know to sync only existing Contacts with Friendcaster? I got everything added into my Adress Book.

Is this an add-on to the original facebook app or does it work as its own app?
[Android Apps and Games] pinhead875:
Just search "f plus" on the market or appbrain, the free and paid versions will come up.
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
What he said... Not found in any market websites. Cykret, Androidzoom, Androidfeeder, and Appbrain say it isn't there.

You failed then?

[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
does this actually notify you when you get wall posts and etc.?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Yes, it tries to fill the gaps which the official Facebook application doesn't do.

Yes! :D
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Did not fail. It was not there when I went and checked the day he made the announcement there was a free version.
[Android Apps and Games] CheesyNutz:
will this sync contacts ? for AOSP roms ?
[Android Apps and Games] lmatth13:
Can you add the ability to select who comes up on your feed and block games postings.
[Android Apps and Games] darkamikaze:
it says you can tag friends on photos >_>... how exactly? been messing around with it.. i don't understand
[Android Apps and Games] chalmizzle:
Hey guys, is it push notifications or periodical?
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Not yet, although I may look at it.

The app doesn't have a 'feed' yet, only your notifications. There is no way to filter notifications.

The next release will make it a bit more obvious ;) The way is it view a photo, press menu --> Show Photo Tags, and then long press on the image where you want to tag. A list of your friends should appear.

Push is being worked upon ;) At the moment, it's periodical.
[Android Apps and Games] ald3n3:
I'm not sure if this is where i can make a suggestion or maybe i should email the Dev. But it would be really cool if there's a way to post pictures on your friends wall with this app. Thanks! and btw i like the app, nice job!
[Android Apps and Games] temka:
Does this app improve the "inbox-bug" in original Facebook app?

(the inbox-bug: Facebook app does not support longer conversation threads. Long threads are just cropped off. From the **end**. Meaning that when someone hits Reply and answers your msg you just won't see it)

(occurs on ALL handsets)

(always)
[Android Apps and Games] mattwaddy:
Am I missing something? Is this purely for notifications i.e. not to view my own wall, or recent updates from people? I can see it give me info on items i've commented on or people have commented on if that makes sense but not a stream of people status updates. Perhaps I'm missing something or missing the point of this app?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
That's the point of the app. It it used in conjunction with the Facebook app to provide the missing functionality that should have been implemented by Facebook into their app.

Can't see my photos

I like this app. I have an HTC Evo and have one issue. It loads the albums, but when I click on an album to see the photos, I doesn't open the album. It looks like it makes an attempt by going into a quick standby (or query) but, it's very short. I just got the update today and I have this problem with both versions. Any idea?

I do like the app and it's capabilities.
[Android Apps and Games] CheesyNutz:
also i can't get places to load :/ and i can't locate the widget

over all its a GREAT GREAT app !
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Thanks ;) The widget is only in the paid version, and places is a bit broken at the moment.

Hmmm, while viewing the album if you press refresh on the top right does it do anything?

No, I haven't looked at Inbox messages yet. To be honest, the Facebook API doesn't allow third party applications to send Inbox Messages anyway so I'm not sure it's worth it.

That's certainly possible! The whole photo uploading interface is going to be changed soon to allow captions, etc. I'll bear this in mind ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zmedhaug@hotmail.com:
I have been looking everywhere for an answer for this. I have a htc desire. running (not froyo is all i know) 2.1 i believe. when i download this app and click on log in all it does is say loading and doesnt do anything but go back to the login screen. i believe its a program permission problem. just what i think. any help would be appreciated. i did go to the developers site and add it to my permissions on fb already. so its somewhere in the phone. also vlingo does the same thing when i try to log into the fb part of the application
[Android Apps and Games] NicodM:
Exactly same problem ! Please fix it.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Hi,

I don't think the problem is with permissions but the new Facebook Single Sign-On system provided by the Facebook application and the Android Facebook SDK.

For the next release I'll provide an alternative login system based on the old system.
[Android Apps and Games] Dave the Knave:
Ever since the new profile page update that has been rolled out across Facebook, I have been getting this error message on some of my notifications. I know it isn't my privacy settings because I never once had any issue before now.
[Android Apps and Games] chalmizzle:
Photo uploading eh? Just a recommendation, but is there anything you can do about photo-tagging?
[Android Apps and Games] rmk1825:
Senab,

Sorry for getting back so late. Yeah, it tries to do a refresh, but it is very short and quick. Now, one thing I have on some of my albums are privacy permissions to allow certain people or friend lists (not new groups) to see and/or not see albums. But even on the ones that are available to my friends only, it's still not allowing me to view the photos. I can see the albums and the album covers, but I cannot get into any of them. Let me know if you need me to do some other tests!! I appreciate your work and app!!!
[Android Apps and Games] krazyflipj:
I love the progress of this app. I've been using it since blue notify. Well anyways, can u make it an option to open official facebook places when hitting places icon?

[Android Apps and Games] senab:
What do you mean? Displaying the photo tags could be improved a bit (i.e. not going off the screen) but other than that I'm pretty happy with the tagging bit.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Ok, sounds like I need a logcat for this. Any chance you could capture some log after looking at some albums/photos? If you don't know how to use adb, the easiest way is by using aLogcat which is available on the Market.

You can then send it to me via: http://christopherbanes.wordpress.com/bug-report/ or my email address chris [at] senab.co.uk
[Android Apps and Games] rmk1825:
Done. Check your email. I sent the log file. I issued the refresh 3 times in a row and you will see the exception each time. Let me know if you have any other questions or need more information.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
Thanks, bug fixed in the latest release (v2.2.5) which is available on the Market. :D
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
With v2.3 comes Push Notifications through Gmail! See here :D

I had to reinstall for login to work
[Android Apps and Games] Insomaniac10:
tried that still doesnt work....and it temporarily screwed up the other two facebook clients i have on my phone, i couldnt log back in on them either **but a reboot quickly fixed this**

Some reason the latest version isn't updating birthdays. I've wiped and reinstalled. On CM 6.1.1 G2

Senab, one thing I noticed when tagging photos. The tag is successful for the photo, but the tagged individual(s) wall is not updated/notified like it does from regular browser or iphone. Let me know if you hv any questions.
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
It works fine for me for the past few weeks. Yesterday out of no reason I logged out f-plus, since then I can never log in again... tried reinstall but didn't help. Also tried logging out official facebook app, didn't help either.

Please guide me to log in via f-plus again! (both regular/alternate do not work for me...)

Thanks.

EDIT: Alternate login works again. Strange.
[Android Apps and Games] homelessbrian:
Any chance of a feature to make a photo your profile picture. I would do it in the browser but the cropping doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] DJMartini:
Just noticed this too
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v2.4 has been released with a new News Feed and more... (see here)

Hmmm, that is wierd. Haven't noticed this myself.

I had a look at doing this a couple of months ago and Facebook do not provide a way to do this via an API. I'll have another look though.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v3.0 beta of f-plus has been released! See here for details!

[Android Apps and Games] aaronpoweruser:
it would be nice if after u clicked on a post and got to the comment like screen if you could clik the post again to go to that persons profile

great work this has long replaced the facebook app on my phone if you add chat it would be perfect
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
You can already do that. If you want to get to person who posted the status (or photo, etc), their name is clickable at the top. If you want to get to a commenters profiler, press on the comment.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
True, I'm going to do some testing to see how much quicker the new library is. I'll then whether it's worth it.
[Android Apps and Games] ShogunAssassin7:
Set-up

Trying this out just now & have noticed that a lot of the icons are reloading continuously. I realise that this is the initial setup period when the data will be tranferring across to the app, but does it always reload icons on each use or does it store them in some sort of cache? the reason i ask is that i am on a limited data package & don't want this happening every time i use it. Do you recommend wi-fi for the intial set-up?:confused:
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
There is no "initial setup" as such. All images are backed with a cache on your SD card. The "constant reloading" of images is a bit of a bug in the image library i'm using, and is something I'm looking into. Incidentally it's not reloading images, just doesn't fails to load an image.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
v3.0.1 has been released. More bug fixes than you can shake a stick at. Also has a new Notification Popup (similar to Handcent, SMS Popup, etc).

Get it from the Android Market :D

[Android Apps and Games] SxcKieranGrr:
will definitely buy if you can get a widget going.
[Android Apps and Games] ki1120:
sorry but wanna ask if it is possible to add a "popup" or "toast"-liked counter for those photos containing comments or like hits? i found it much more convenient than turning into the comment page to check whether to have anything available each time. :)

Great application ...but I have two issues:

1.- I'm getting an error message on all my notifications.

2.- pop up notifications does not work at all :(

Bought the app recently after using the Free for awhile :] .. I hope you got plans for a better upcoming sexy widget that blows the fb's own widget out of the water..

Flow for Facebook v3.1.1 has been released onto the Android Market.

Includes Pull To Refresh and Shake to Refresh, have a look! :D

http://christopherbanes.wordpress.com/flow/
[Android Apps and Games] lou2s:
Just updated to the latest free version 3.1.3.

Concerns:

1. The "Last Attemped/Completed Update" position is now too low due to the new "Pages" icon. (Which I don't use...)

2. The "Refresh" and "About" link from press the "menu" button both link to "About Flow".

Thanks!

I'm looking at the reviews since the newest update yesterday and I haven't updated yet cuz it's mostly bad comments after update. should I just wait for the next update when things are ironed out? the version I'm on seems to be working fine right now

Sent from my G2
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
I got really excited about this app because I thought it would finally bring push notifications for things like wall posts, tagging, comments, likes, etc to facebook but it seems like that those features are still being worked on and only polling is supported :-( I was further disappointed to hear that this is only a notification app requiring you to still use another app or the website to act on any of the notifications.

Is there any chance that this will be turned into a full functioning facebook app with the ability to act on the notifications from in app as well as contact syncing?
[Android Apps and Games] krazyflipj:
Umm if u setup the app right, it does push notifications most of the things you mentioned. The only big thing that it doesn't push are likes.

Sent from my CM7 Powered device
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
As krazyflipj said it does most of that. The exceptions being push likes notifications and contact syncing.
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
Thanks for the clarification. I thought in an earlier post it was mentioned that push was being worked on and right now you only have notifications via email. If push is working then that is great to hear but I would still hope that this could be turned into a fully functioning facebook app being able to act on the notifications in app.
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
It is. Try the free version from the Market lol.
[Android Apps and Games] bsktballstar3131:
just saw the new update, so with tags, what exactly happens since the tagged user doesn't get notified? are they actually tagged still? and if someone comments on a tagged post will they get the notifications then?

Sent from my G2
[Android Apps and Games] senab:
I have no idea to be honest, give it a try and let know. It's a bit of hack how I've done it and not documented by Facebook. They are definetely tagged though, which you can see with the app and online on Facebook.com.
[Android Apps and Games] bsktballstar3131:
just to clarify, for tagging in a post, is it when I go to my profile wall and go to write something on my wall and I press that button on the left to tag someone (the button that looks like you're gonna add a person to the post)?

Yes, or your newsfeed.

[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:

[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
LOVE this app

Been recommending this to my friends all day...

Just a few remarks and suggestions....

Different themes would be nice - I'm not keen on the 3D icons - prefer basic flat Facebook ones from standard app.

An alternative icon layout for higher dpi devices in preferences screen (my HD2 running Hyperdroid has only a half-filled main menu screen with Flow, bottom half is just white) would be nice too.

a Gmail push setup screen would be good upon first install for noobs - one that links to the Facebook site to change settings and setup gmail emails etc. Many of my friends stupidly still use Hotmail so this would encourage them to drift to Google services and take full advantage. Also general setup page for popups etc to make the experience as user friendly as possible.

Regular 'spinning disc' profile images in the feed...often they stay like that.

Seems a lot slower to load live feed than standard Facebook app.

Doesn't show relationship status in info and often shows no albums for people.

Check in seems very temperamental.

I've experienced a few other glitches etc but on the whole this app is fantastic and I'm so glad it exists. The official Facebook For Android app is a pile of old horse **** and I'm horrified that Facebook allowed it into the market place. They need to buy your software immediately!
[Android Apps and Games] chattyuk:
I've noticed in one of your screenshots on the market you show a menu with the names of people who have liked a post. Could you tell me how to do this? I can't seem to find the menu anywhere!

Thank you:)

[Android Apps and Games] bryant_16:
I see. Can show me your settings?
[Android Apps and Games] bsktballstar3131:
I followed the directions on the website for Gmail push notifications exactly and in the app I have it archive and delete emails. I don't do the periodic checking at all. Occasionally one fbook email will slip thru that I'll find in my inbox without it being deleted or notifying me but it doesn't bother me too much. On Gmail I have it set to filter the different fbook email addresses but a couple times it missed some but this was solved by adding that email address to the filter (I had missed the email the first time I was adding the different fbook addresses to the filter). Also in the app I always use the alternate login in the advanced settings. Hope this helps.

Side note about this app for the dev: I tried tagging a friend in a post before and the name can be clicked to go to their profile but I don't think they got notified and on the persons wall it didn't show up. Also checking in didn't seem to work for me the one time I tried it.

[q] creating gmail filter

is it possible to create a gmail filter that deletes an email but does not skip the inbox? If so how because every time I click delete the email skips in box by default and results in not getting push notifications from flow :-(

I'm having login issues. I've tried regular login, alternate login, uninstalling and reinstalling twice. Nothing is working.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
Strange.....is this over wifi? And no problem logging in through browser or official app? I've been using Flow for four days now and haven't had a single issue.

[Android Apps and Games] i4get75:
No, 3G. I'm logged in with the official app, logged in through the mobile, touch and full facebook site also. This all started after I got an error message that Flow was having a problem receiving info from Facebook and said to log out and back in. It never let me log back in.
[Android Apps and Games] leoni1980:
That's bizarre. I've just logged out and logged in again fine. Have you tried checking your Facebook settings to make sure Flow is authorized? Don't know what else to suggest really....I've even uninstalled and reinstalled and it still let me log in fine.
[Android Apps and Games] i4get75:
How'd you get yours to work? I've tried regular login, alternate login, logging in with my mobile number, going to the web site with the browser and then logging in. nothing works. just comes right back to the login screen.

Even tried to login with a wrong password...and sure enough, it tells me wrong password when I do that.
[Android Apps and Games] i4get75:
Ok, this is odd. A friend suggested turning on WiFi and trying...and it worked. I'm logged in now but it would not log in on 3G. Hopefully this can be fixed in the next release. I know of at least 3 others with the same problem.
