imo the best app for this is called fonebook. it painlessly syncs existing contacts w/any matches on facebook, including thier fb pic, birthday and even thier webpage. only two requirements to get this to work right: you have to use outlook (fonebook is a windows app) and your contacts' names on the phone must exactly match how thier name is spelt on facebook
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moto2000:
it does not have to be spelled exactly the same necessarily...if it doesnt find a match, you can also manually match the fb friend w/ the contact on your phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] skilledone:
app seems fairly slow, takes forever to load profile/chat/inbox/home page...very appealing though so far! Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trikydiky:
itching to get my hands on the next beta!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ltgt:
Just a thanks

This app looks like it's going to be really good. Finally a real FB app! I'd also like to say that the speed with which you all are advancing is amazing. Fine work!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] winwin0077:
Can't wait for the next beta...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MauiKeitai:
I really can't wait!! All of a sudden skybook doesn't wanna login. Aah it wasn't that good anyway. I'm really looking forward to this release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Raspster:
This app does look amazing but I do beleive there will be a facebook app for WM within the next month or so. I know one simular to the experia & iphone is being worked on right now. Kinda silly how they never made one before the iphone or palm.. or even the G1 for that matter... I'm afraid by the time we get this beauty up and working the way we want it, it may be too late.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kmax12:
should we be expecting a realease tonight? if not, i am willing to wait.

keep up the enthusiasm,

kmax
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
it's really too long !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jasonkruys:
Looking forward to this. Are you going to build in apptodate support?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Eventually yes.

I will TRY and get a release out tonight. If not, please be patient. I have made some AMAZING progress and you guys won't be disappointed with the next release. I plan on having ALL the features implemented in the next release so get ready to do some real hardcore testing so we can get the bugs fixed.

As far as facebook coming out with a windows mobile app, I have some news for you guys but I won't release it until AFTER I release my app. trust me, you guys will be shocked!

Either way, I appreciate the support and am working a lot to finish this app (took a few weeks off school for you guys ;) next class doesnt start for a bit).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Raspster:
tell you what... If its running like the iphone one, you will get my donates buddy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
You will be surprized. I think it's looking really good.

As far as donations go, I appreciate your offer. I do this because I want to give back to this community who has helped me a lot. This is my thank you. No need for donations, but thanks.

I also have a couple surprised in store for you guys after I release this app. Stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kmax12:
cant wait to hear the surprises as i have been following this application since day one.

is there a release tonight or will we have to wait another week?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
woah!

sounds too good!

glad to hear you are working so hard on this :D

really appreciate it

hope you could use my help too

thanks man

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrisd1a1:
looking forward to trying the next release, so far i've had problems with getting this to load. hoping this one works well for me, keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Can you PM me with what problems you have had? The new release will fix the IndexOutOfRange exception and a couple other problems but I would like to fix all major problems in the next release. So PM me, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
Cant wait for the this release man a lot people are waiting on this. I would suggest putting some screen shots if you want i can put them up once the version is released.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajskhan:
Thanks a lot; I am looking forward to this, and have fun!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MauiKeitai:
Oooooh man.....Now I really am itchin!! The suspense is killing me!! haha
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trikydiky:
its getting bad now im checking back every half hour. lol.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
it's so long !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jasonkruys:
Sounds good, thank you very much for your efforts! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Well here's where I'm at so far:

I had made the profiles pretty sweet (iPhone style scrolling of the whole profile) but I'm haviing some hiccups in the implementation (scrolling is BAD). So for now, I when i'm done, I will release it in the old style (seperate windows for wall, profile, photos).

Also, I need your opinions:

Do you guys want chat in this application? There seems to be a great chat application already (wrriten by a guy that knows A LOT more about programming then i do)....so what do you guys think?

Login is still taking a long ass time. I've talked to blutz (creator of FacebookIM) and he's not sure if he wants to release the code....So until I am done implementing the workaround I have planned, you guys will have to deal with the long log in time, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Odeezie:
I'd rather have chat in the program, instead of running two different applications.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aadadams:
I would like to see chat in the final version. The whole reason for the movement was to have a PPC app that was fully featured like the apps for BB and iPhone, was it not? Maybe by the time you smooth out the kinks with wFacebook a willing chat author will align with you. I say, "There is no rush!". We "beta fiends" are at your leisure. Thanks for taking all this time out of your schedule to fill this PPC void. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrisd1a1:
i would suggest leaving chat for a later release. get the rest working then go one step at a time. would love to see what you have so far but no rush

thanks for the hard work, and for keeping everyone up to date. it IS appreciated

Chris
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
Yes i would like to have chat implemented in wfacebook eventually so i dont have to run two programs. Have had a talk with cornelha maybe he can help or give you an idea about the issue with login taking so long. I have no programming experience or i would have helped lol. Thanks for all your work again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Tenny:
Facebook IM would be nice (eventually), but I am more concerned with other features / functionality than that by far. Especially since there already is another program for that, and it seems to work well!

As far as the login delay, yeah it sucks, but not much you can do so we understand that perfectly fine!

I really appreciate all the work you are doing for us!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
wouldnt it be cool to combine the two?

your work with all other functions other than chat, your work to make it look appealing/fun/easy to use, with facebookIM's chat function?

maybe since you say he knows a lot more you could send your work to him?

i dont know just an idea

what do you think?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] focusedonsound:
Agreed... we all understand that this app is in its founding stages so we expect for there not only to be some problems but also newer features to come.

I personally don't use IM on my phone due to the massive battery draw most IM applications I have tried require.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MauiKeitai:
Yeah, I think we need basic core functionality first. At least be able to do most of the stuff we can do on a PC on our phones. Then we can add kool tidbits later. Just my 2 cents.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jiggad369:
Will this support WQVGA in the future?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] moto2000:
iphone style scrolling would be sweet. great work btw!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Looks like the people have spoken. I'll get most of the features in and worry about the fancy stuff later.

Yes, but I want a stable version before I start supporting different versions. It's already a handful doing 2 versions (QVGA and VGA). If this version looks good, I'll create a WQVGA version and add it to the first post.

thanks. I'm still working out the kinks but like I said, I won't worry about that for now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wesjeff:
got a rough estimate on expected release?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
End of the week at the latest.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dr g:
You mean TouchFLO style scrolling :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] signothefish:
Any chance this could be integrated into TF3D as a stand-alone tab? lol
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptyindian:
hahha lets not get too carried away now. Let have the app running well without any bugs as a stand alone program first. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trikydiky:
i like your thinking. kool idea but i bet it wouldn't work. hard enough to change the colour lol. i think universally its best to keep it as a stand alone app.

why has facebook supported iphone and android but not wm? just seams a bit weird seeing as their are more people with wm.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] chrisd1a1:
you can link the app into the internet tab by editing the xml if that helps?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trikydiky:
How are things going? when can we expect a release (roughly)?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nicklory:
Any news?? This is all very exciting....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] XemmeX:
hi to all.

do u know if there could be problems installing netcf3.5 (such as slowing pocket pc applications, ecc...)?

i'd like to test wfacebook since my opera mobile seems to stop function when i try to view flash site
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
So, after two weeks... we 'll see... I Hope !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
so....................... wait and see !
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kuja:
i'm nervous too!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
It's coming guys. I'm currently backing up my data cause my external started making clicking noises and scared the **** out of me. I got too much data on it (including wFacebook)!

Once the backup is done, I've got a few more things to do and some testing on my own. Maybe a day or two more guys. Please be patient. I hate having to make you guys wait like this but this is not a marketing ploy (like pointUI lol)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zoolake:
lol dont worry about it, its better that we have good software than software that is released before its ready if you ask me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] inthenickoftime4:

Relax guys, CJ said it would be coming, so it will do
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
patience is a virtue!

ever hear of that saying?

there is no use in constantly spamming the thread!

it will come when it comes, when computerjunkie is SATISFIED with his program and this is a large part of how succesful this build will be

wait for computerjunkie's release, i am sure it will be worth the wait.. spamming has no purpose :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] derekwilkinson:
I still can't get this app to work for me.

I get an Error During Login error and an Index Out Of Range Exception... any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Sorry it's taking so long guys. There is a HUGE bug in the library which I am trying to fix (as of right now I can't retrieve albums (and thus other things that rely on that part of the library). Since I didn't write the library, you can only imagine my frustrations. I have a couple people helping me out that have a lot more programming experience than me.

I'm not giving up on this. I use facebook religiously so this is something that IIII WANT TOO. I appreciate the support

As far as the error above, it's fixed in the new release. I appreciate you trying out the beta but don't worry, at this point you're not missing too much.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] WildSioux:
I have been reading this thread for the past month or so but this is my first post in it. I had been using the other facebook (xdafbppc app).

computerjunkie...Here is hoping that you find the bug and get it fixed. Sounds like you have a big release coming up soon!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DarkAngelFR:
Hello there!

I'm following this thread for a while but never really read all posts (too much things to do out here)...

If you need any help on coding I may help! I've seen you used the SmoothListBox (sorry I got reflector, too much curious :o ), did you made any change to the original lib? I made some changes for my own apps, maybe we should get things common......

Good work anyway and waiting for next release!

See Ya

Just trid on my HTC HD

I'd pay atleast £20 to get an iPhone version of this Facebook app working. It drives me nuts that my partner has it on their iphone and Im still trying stuff..

Just tried it on the HD and it crashes ;-(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] francescohtc:
The Beta 3 it's the first version of this app i try...

HTC TOUCH FIND, POLARIS WM 6.1

The login is very long, i have the time to take a pizza (tested with wi-fi, when i have the chance ill try with HSPDA) :D

There are some problem with ascii codes i think, because it don't recognise correctly all symbles as '

The scroll of the wall it's not smooth.

The skip from a screen to another is very slow.

The Friend List is not in alphabetical order.

The home screen remain blank.

There isn't the chat.

Exit Button doesn't work.

Profile view it's not a profile view.

Thanks for your work the base idea and grafic are very good. :cool:

When a new beta come out you'll find me here to test it ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tlethere:
Fear not, SPB are going to include it in their new Mobile Shell 3.0

Please read the thread before you post. Everything you have said has been said before. It's a work in progress (which you would have realized if you had read). It's tough to monitor the thread for new bugs when it's being littered with the same stuff. Thank you for your support.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Dev of wFacebook will most likely stop

Check this out

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=489379

The above + palringo (for fb chat) works great!

Unless there is a major problem with the above facebook app, I will most likely end the dev of wFacebook. The major reason being Facebook's lawyers have shut down the library and are bringing charges against the creator of the FacebookCSharp Library.

I will be monitoring the above thread closely for problems and if there are major ones, I will continue development. Thank you all for your support and patience but an OEM solution sounds a lot better than a parsed html version. Thanks again!

Facebook App

Yall need to try this one I think it came from Microsoft and it works GREAT!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] counterfitninja:
hey computerjunkie,

Thanks for putting in all that effort. I do hope your not too pissed about all this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ramontrotman:
i second this and strongly recommend you run..not walk to install this. Thank god for microsoft!

facebook is now as it should be on my phone!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Not at all. It was a great learning experience (although a frustrating one). But the above app mixed with Palringo's facebook chat is a great combination. I've been using palringo for about a week now and it works GREAT. The battery on my Vogue seems to handle it well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Grogck:
Thanks for all your efforts on this. Either way, WM users were finally closing in on getting better access to something that should have been officially available a long time ago.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eyraguais:
Have you got a slow scrolling ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
I had the same problem. It doesn't create a folder in the "Program Files" folder. It is installed directly into the "Windows" folder. Look in that folder for Facebook.exe, create a shortcut, and paste the shortcut where ever you want.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3it3r:
The new MS facebook is stellar! I agree. It and Palringo are the ultimate combination.

The app is also in desperate need of a logout button
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Any chance of some way of remembering login details?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
How many machines do you need to be loged into @ once lol, it's a security feature built into Facebook and to check this i just signed in on comp then used Skyfire to log into account and on computer i was loged out.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] deedee:
Not a criticism of the app as it applies equally to the other FaceBook app in development but what on earth is being exchanged in the login process to use up nearly 1Mb of traffic?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eboy44:
any chance of implementing the facebook chat into this program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajbopp:
I am frequently logged into facebook from multiple computers/browsers (home, work and phone [Opera], for example) and never get logged out of one when I log into another.

AJ
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] stylez:
Strange how i just tryed and got loged out then when using another computer phone will try the same again using 2 x laptop as i believe this is a security feature of Facebook, just like Yahoo IM does.

Still wonder whay an issue as if you stay logged in on work etc "no security risk?" then just store the password with browser no issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
I will implement a log out button in the next beta.

As for logging out, that is expected behavior and cannot be changed, sorry.

The library that is being used to write this application does html parsing for its functionality. we use this because facebook's API is very restrictive and will not allow us to access information in a way that would make the application user friendly. This is the reason why other applications that use pure facebook api need the user to log in via a web browser (facebook restriction) and other uglies.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ai6908:
Profile tab and friends tab are the only one that work. Also wall is the only one that can be used! Photos and info buttons dont work! Its a good app and I am glad there is an alternative to the other facebook app found here...:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] computerjunkie:
Please read the first post, only certain features are enabled right now.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alt236:
Maybe you could parse the mobile version of facebook instead of the desktop one?
