Re: Why an app for Facebook instead of browser? Looking for a GOOD FB app? Look here

There's a fix for this on the development site fbandroid.WordPress.com I believe. Just read through the posts there and you'll find links that solve these permissions problems. I had the same issues and that cleared them up (I'm friends with myself again :) )

I posted a link a few posts back. Thought I explained that that's how to fix it. Maybe I forgot though. The dev also states he's working on a work around to fix it further.

Jonny,
THANKS for the info. I guess I'll have to try Bloo again. BTW, your posts are NOT too long. If someone dozes off while reading 3-4 sentences, they have attention span issues that need to be... oh look... a squirrel. Zzzzzzzzz...

Haha! Not a problem. I figure that poster just had a bad experience with bloo and decided to take it out on me.

Also, I'm sure the fact that I keep talking trash on Facebook and their horrible API that's always changing and causing problems for devs and, as a result, us users hurts his feelings, because he seems to be a Facebook fanboy.

Hey, I'm a Facebook fanboy, too... but I realize their API must be less than perfect... because everytime they make a change the FB app on my phone quits working. And from my experience with social networking and other apps, the Facebook app is pretty much the only one that regularly quits working for a day or three... then miraculously starts working again.

As for Bloo... I just downloaded it again. Will try it and see what happens. THANKS for updating everyone and keeping an open line to the dev.

Dang, I'm guessing the other guy is fast asleep by now... nite-nite... ;-)

To be honest, I hate the entire setup of Facebook. However, it's the most popular, so it's the easiest way to keep in touch. Everyone from my 14-year old nephew to my parents who're both semi-retired are on it, so I can keep in contact with the whole family in one spot living 1000 miles away.

With that said, I'm accused of being on Facebook 24/7 thanks to bloo, so I'm not sure why some people are having such problems with the app. Last night after work, I posted a new status. I then got a notification of a comment on it, and when I went to the post to comment back, I had posted the status 1 minute ago. My notification timer is set to 2 minutes, so obviously the all's notifications work...

I know some subscribed to this thread have ill feelings towards bloo, but this post is directed at those who don't. Due to his work schedule, Dimitris is considering a few options. Among them, stopping bloo completely. If you'd like to see the app continue, even as an open source project that others can improve upon, please join the Facebook group below to petition to save bloo.

Save Bloo! | Facebook

As a special bonus, head to the discussion board there. Dimitris gave me permission to leak my test version INCLUDING chat. I will offer support for the new feature here and in that discussion.

Thank you!

Go to HTTP://WWW.fbandroid.WordPress.com for the fix. You'll need to scroll to the proper blog entry. I believe it's around the 3rd one down. EDIT: 2nd one down.
