Working on a smartphone or tablet with a small screen, no mouse and virtual keyboard is never going to be the same as on a full PC but a small amount of planning and using the device to its best advantage can make some tasks easier. It's no different with Facebook, email or any of the other applications that are used on a day to day basis.
The first (and most) important step is to use the Androids ability to quickly access a number of pages/shortcuts and create quick links to any web based apps that you use regularly.
I use 4 main screens and one of them looks like this :
The shortcuts take me directly to any "unread posts" which is what I want to see most of the time.
The screen that opens looks like this :
There is a big difference between portrait and landscape mode :
If there were no "Unread messages" and I wanted to see a list of recent messages I could use the "shortcuts menu. Like this :
If I want to reply the screen size is limited by the virtual keyboard.
If I don't like that I can use an external Bluetooth keypad but most of the time its not required.
If anyone is not sure where the shortcuts menu is on this forum of they don't know how to add shortcuts to an Android device please reply here and we will try and add more information.
