Facebook Home for Android: What You Need to Know

Facebook Home Bugs

  • There is an awkward empty space on some screens. Not sure if this is common, but mine has awkward white space (or in this case black space) at the top of each page. I have not quite figured out the rhyme or reason for why some apps are listed and not all, nor why they are not all just consolidated on less pages.
  • If you don't use a PIN code or password to lock your phone, you may not run into this issue. But, I notice that even though I unlocked my S3 by putting in my passcode, the phone will ask me to enter it again at random times if I attempt to access apps outside of Facebook Home. It is quite annoying.
  • Although Facebook Home offers the option to show your notification bar at the top of the screen, you can only actually swype down if you are in an app and not from your home screen.

    Sounds interesting but I’ll leave mine as is. I like having my messenger separate and I figured out how to turn off the chat heads. I’m not a Facebook junkie like that and hadn’t even heard of this. I’ll be sure to share.

    I didn’t like it. I have folders on some screens and it took the apps out of folders but only displayed some of the apps. I just didn’t like the feel of it. Plus, I like fb posts in chronological order.
