If something was missing in Facebook Chat,unlike Gmail Chat,was a Emoticon Box providing you various emoticons at a Mouse click and not to type a simile code every-time you wanted to insert it. But this issues would be no longer a problem, as Facebook has introduced a Emoticon box integrated into the Chat box which you can use while chatting.

With this Facebook has also introduced a new LIKE Emoticon, Which is symbolic of Facebook's Trademark LIKE button.
 

However Facebook still does not allow use of Standard emoticons in any other way except while using Chat on Desktop. If you put a simile code on Comments, Status Updates, Mobile app,etc it would be show just as the code and the user won't see the emoticon.

Personally i feel Facebook should refrain from allowing this emoticons to be available for comments, status updates,etc. as this practice would keep Facebook neat and clean.

Use of excessive HTML codes in Orkut scraps and status was one of the biggest cause of its decline as users were just not receiving the social experience they wanted and all was SPAM.

So enjoy these 21 new emoticons, Have Fun!

Facebook is one of the most widely used Social networking website at present in the world and users use it across their desktop, mobiles for most of the time. In today'a article i would be telling about the Best Applications that user can run on their Android devices as an alternative to Facebook for Android application or can get best facebook experience.

1) Facebook for Android   

It is the Official Facebook application available in Google play which provides a very good user experience to its users on their Android devices. The application is improving with its updates and aims to provide a complete desktop like experience on a mobile device.

The Applications gives access to your Friends, profile, messages, News feed, events, etc. from a left side navigation menu. You can sync this with your device which also allows you to look up and search your contacts. The app is capable of providing real time updates with live notifications turned on by default. Sharing and uploading of Photos works very well as compared to other alternatives.

The only issue one could experience with this application and also might get irritated with is the amount of time it takes to load news feed and other features. If you are on a Edge/Gprs connection you would seel the app working very slowly which is one thing that definitely needs to be looked after.

2) Friendcaster for Facebook

This application is the most sought after and used application when it comes to social networking terms in Google Play. If you decide ever to move on from the native fb android client to a 3rd party app then this application is exclusively for you which is already claiming over 3,000,000 with good user reviews and ratings.

The application also offers almost all features that you would want, with the most distinguished been

• Full news feed
• Comment, post and like comments
• 5 beautiful themes
• Support for multiple accounts

The application is very very Fast in terms of loading if compared to other apps and you can use this if you want to experience Facebook fast and better in your Android device.

3) Fast for Facebook 

This is a relatively new and interesting app which i came across recently and decided to add this in my list to share with my readers. The application is still in BETA stage and improving day by day.

The main features offered in the applications that one might look before using it are -

• Real-time Home feeds and Chat
• Share contents from other android apps
• Access to Groups and Pages
• Continuous photo upload trough camera
• Widget and quick link
• View Albums and Galleries

As the name of the application suggests it is indeed very fast if you compare with the official client and loads much finer and smoother. It keeps unwanted loading elements and scripts out and hence improves user experience.

4) Seesmic

It is another very Popular application providing social networking app to cover user experience on Android devices. The app is basically focused on twitter and facebook platform.

The main features included in the app are as follows -

• Full integration of Facebook
• Manage your Facebook pages
• Geotagging to add location to your messages
• Cross-posting to multiple Twitter accounts and your Facebook account at the same time
• Add a widget to view updates from any service

However as per what i have felt this app is best suited to be used for Twitter though providing Facebook access as well.

Facebook last year a new feature which was considered very simple to 2 Step verification from Google to enhance the security of Facebook users and provide them another option of preventing their accounts. The functioning of this was intended to be very same whenever you will login from a new device you would be send a new code which you will have to enter from your text messages and proceed.

Once you setup this on your account you would consider yourself safe and pretty happy that your facebook account is secure very much and no can access to it without you. I thought the same few days back when my whole scenario about this feature changed .

Before proceeding let me tell you that how it is different from Google 2 Step verification . In case of Google 2 SV if you ever loose your Phone or a saved device Google has always provided 10 codes at the time of setting up 2SV which you can use in such a situation and get back access to your account. There is a alternate number you can use in such a case as well or even get back it through your alternate email address.

Alright let's move to Facebook , You setup Login Approvals and all tensions of securing your account is away, Is it ? Have you ever thought if you lost access to your phone/not getting approvals code + no saved device , Any ideas how to get out of that loop ?

                                

I happened to be stuck in the same situation and being a geek well i was bound to figure some things that may help my readers and help them as well, So read below for how to solve if you are facing this issue as well and want to access Facebook as well -

1) Facebook for Android - Yes if you are an Android user and have ever happened to login and use Facebook for Android then you can use this application for checking your account and seeing all activities.

2) Facebook for iPhone -  If you are on iOs and have ever happened to login and use Facebook for iPhone/iPad then you can use this application for checking your account and seeing all activities

Disadvantages of this method - You will not be able to turn off Login approvals using this and hence bound to use on a Mobile Device which is of-course you will not want, So what to do ? Need not worry the best and the solution which worked for me is coming below.I know how many people are lazy and would not use the option but desperation of getting back may make you use this and ultimate way would surely work.

Solution is here

You have to File a report to Facebook by using the Contact Form. Yes many of you would have ignored or misunderstood this option and might have even claimed on its working, But here is how i did it!

• Move to the Facebook Login Approvals File a Report.
• Provide your Full name exactly matching your account and your carrier name.
• Explain the whole issue, Try to be accurate and make sure you provide all details.

Now after this keep checking your email inbox. Facebook will send you a email with subject line "Facebook Login Approvals Issue" and ask for your valid id's which you would need to provide in reply to the email to get back your account. Then facebook will examine and remove hold of your account and Yeah you are back in your account. Check my email screen-shot for Proof.

What to do after getting Facebook back?

Move to Settings-Mobile and remove your Mobile and you are out of this loop.

So definitely this is something Facebook needs to look at and solve to avoid other users from entering into this loop. Definitely Google is much better when it comes to managing security.

If you are still stuck and face some other issues feel free to comment and i'll try my best to guide you. Share this as it can help someone as well.
