What’s the difference between Facebook for
Android and Facebook for HTC Sense?
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People,
Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information
about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos)
in these apps.
Facebook for Android is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the
things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser
to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending
Facebook messages.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for
HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook for Android app and vice
versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to
sign in to both using the same login credentials.
If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using
your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as
Facebook for HTC Sense.
Tweeting on your phone
You can post and read tweets, send and receive direct messages, search for new
Twitter users to follow using the Peep app. Peep is a Twitter client that lets you enjoy
“tweeting” on your phone.
You can also link your contacts in People to their Twitter profiles (if you’re following
them). To find out how, see “Merging contact information” in the People chapter.
If you did not sign in to your Twitter account when you first turned on the phone, you
can do one of the following:
Sign in to your Twitter account from Peep. From the Home screen, tap
> Peep, then follow the onscreen instructions.
Add the Twitter for HTC Sense account in Settings > Accounts & sync. To find
out how, see “Adding a social network account” in the Accounts and sync
chapter.
Twitter for HTC Sense and Peep share the same login credentials. This means that when you
use Peep on your phone for tweeting, you can also link your contacts to their Twitter profiles
via Twitter for HTC Sense.
