    Facebook app on my droid used to have an icon for CHAT. For some reason it I can't get the chat icon anymore, and my DD phone has the same as mine so I know their could have been an upgrade on facebook for the droid. Question: How do I get CHAT back on facebook on the droid. I only get newsfeed, photos, emails, profile and friends and info. :) I get everything online on my CPU, but I would love it all on my droid.

    Sorry, if I could I would remove all the Facebook, Blockbuster, City ID and VZ Navigator off my Android phone. Absolute waste of memory and the Blockbuster, City ID and Navigator apps are just ways to rip the suckers off.

    If you really want this crap on your phone go to the Market Place and try reinstalling it.

    I just looked at it and mine has it. If you tap the word "Facebook" in the upper left, it will bring you to a screen with 9 icons. News Feed, Profile, Friends, etc. The one on the bottom right is Chat.

    That is what i used to do. Then my phone messed up, and now when i touch facebook like you said nothing happens at all. Always have to hit the back button instead, and I only get 6 icons now, not 9 so chat is not one of them:( Any other suggestions, i don't know why facebook changed the layout on my phone, My DD phone has the same thing now as me:( Did you register you facebook account to your mobile phone, that is one thing I did not do, maybe that will affect it?

    Like Hugh said, you'll probably need to uninstall it, then go to the Market and reinstall it.

    That was my point, you can't uninstall these few programs, but you should be able to go to the "Market" and reinstall/upgrade them.

    Silly question, but have you asked your daughter for help? My experience is that my boys know a lot more than I do about almost everything electronic.

    Just a thought...good luck!

    Ok, got aggravated and went to the Verizon store and the guy there said i didn't have to uninstall anything, that i just didn't finish the installation/upgrade! I had the old facebook version on there, and upgraded droid to facebbook but didn't finish to put the upgrade on the droid, so Thanks everyone........... And he showed us a lot of neat tricks also! So now I am a happy camper:)

    I have a droid. Sign on to facebook. Scroll to the bottom of the page and you'll have the option of clicking on "download for droid" and/or click on full site. That should do it for ya.
