fim Problems!!

When ever fim tries to log into Facebook Messenger I get this message:

fim.exe

IOException

at

System.IO._Error.WinIOError(Int32

errorCode, String str)

at

System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String fullPath, Boolean File)

at

System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFiles(String path, String searchPattern)

at System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern)

at Mosko.fb.ClearhThumbs()

atMosko.fb.HeartbeatThread()

Does anyone know what this means and how I can fix. This is a really great app that is one of a kinda and I would love to continue using it. I tried reinstalling the cab but it didn't work.

I have a Samsung Omnia running Wozzer 21222 6.5 cooked rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:
what are you lookin to add first blutz? this should be interesting
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
something to do with cached images.

works fine for me on 6.5 21222 (but on diamond)

try installing to internal storage or to device if you haven't done so yet.

try see if a directory named "thumbs" exist in the installation directory (where fim.exe is) if not, try to create it yourself.

let me know about the results, anyway this procedure is not very important, so this error will be ignored on the next FIM version and you will probably be able to use the software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
cool, when you add it, can you give us option to use it or not?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
new version (2.2.2) is out.

read the change log on the first post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] feanor512:
Your site is down. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks. its up now :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rojaa:
site lists earlier version for download
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] feanor512:
Yay. :) Installing it now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
download page still v2.2.1.0...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
no it's the new one
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
Installed it twice.. In the settings still 2.2.1.0...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
I installed it and have the new one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Crescendo Xenomorph:
how come? I still got 2.2.1.0 T,T
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
Downloaded the new version. Takes more time to "fetch friends" now and my profile pic didn't update, was the same old one from before, I had changed it in the main site!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
fetching friends takes bit longer now because of groups thingy, good news though - I Promise to make it better on the next version, be patient.

profile pic issue will be fixed, thanks for lettings me know
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
Super. Can't wait.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ekksman:
Hi

Very nice looking soft! does slow down my machine when singing in/ out, am unable to use the phone keypad for messages only the full qwerty, to sign in am unable to use any keyboard on password entry but the standard keyboard. only a couple of wishes if possible to have contacts pictures on chat, and the ability to choose notification tone etc. Might consider moving from my current facebook im app to this

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks for the input.. .

sound notifications and improvements to the chat box is planned.

regarding the keyboard problems, i still don't know what causes them, and actually don't have them on my diamond or ppc emulators im using.. if any dev around here ever ran into this problem please let me know. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
How much memory will this take including .net installation?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] andason:
works pretty well.

would it be possible to prevent the chat window from scrolling back to top after a new chat entry?

double tapping on the friends online window crashes program.

Thanks and keep up the awesome job!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
it consumes alot of memory though.....to me on the diamond around 1.4mb when its running.

its a point for improvement

few things i think you should add is a notification in the taskbar when you receive a message,

because to me, the big use for this application is to run it on the background and use it instead of SMS

so there should be a notification icon on the taskbar

also a sound,

and later on, maybe improving the graphics of the chat window, improving the scrolling to be more similiar to resco explorer or something..

So far very good app..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
another thing very crucial is the fact that it keeps running in the background even after closing the app (normally) and sometimes even two copies of it altough only one appears in the normal builtin task manager
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
just solved some memory problems, should be better in upcoming 1.04

btw, did you close it with menu -> close, cos win mobile default X action is minimize
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JonnoB:
It would be great if you added AppToDate support. Otherwise, this is great!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
Yes

Yes, i closed it that way, but still sometimes it leaves it in the background

and regulary the settings for me is X to close, not to minimize

so no big different, i tried all the variations i have
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
The only issues I had with this was the message window scrolling back up to the top after a new message was sent or recieved in the chat window. That and when I would miss spell something and push the side arrow key it would move over one space AND go left or right (depending on which arrow key I was pressing) to the next chat window.

Other than that this is a great program. This is exactly what I was looking for!

I have the HTC Touch Pro (Fuze)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
Oh yeah, the window really does jumps up all the time.

I think that there should be also a change in the location\size of the window tabs, in the header where you press to select them.

when trying to go to main window with my finger its sometimes press the disconnect by mistake,

the big conclusion is to make it more finger friendly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
new version is up (1.04) , all of you with keyboard problems let me know if this version solve it for you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
Woooh! Im the first to download it :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
is it possible to make cache for the friend list and image?

some kind of way to make it faster to connect, and get the list

and it just check if the image isnt the same

thats way the whole login process will get faster
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
a problem i just noticed,

when i enter the options menu after loggin in or something, when i hit close

for the ideal response is to close the options menu and get back to the main window

but it closes the app

i assume the X does the same here

another thing,

when you start working on the graphics you *must* make it like the beejiveim, which looks awesome...=)

try to get some tips from there, that would make a nice difference...

the memory is reduced, before around 1.6mb and now 800-900~kb

and the problem with the incoming message that scrolls the window up is also fixed and working well now...

and really nice taskbar icon when message received =))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
images are cached.. (check the app dir /images), but just for reducing bandwith.

in my point of view, caching other user information is pointless for two reasons:

1. its useless if the user if offline (and will just blow up the memory - that was my problem with other facebook apps around here, coz i have over 300 fbfriends)

2. facebook chat api forces you to grab the basic details of a friend each time the list is updated.

about the slow login - well, try grabbing your facebook home screen (regular not mobile) on mobile IE (if u can made it past the secure login screen) should take about the same time. but i might work something out..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
CLOSE = Close The Application. coz according to M$ in WM the default X behavior is Minimize. its pretty much the same like mobile msn :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
hey, you're the programmer,

im just testing your software and making comments, points maybe you can improve,

i see that the login proccess as faster than the older versions, did you change something?

though maybe there's nothing to improve from my comments

its just comments

=)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
comments are helping, thanks :)

everything should be faster in this version, i hope :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ekksman:
1.04

Hi,

very impressed with this new release i use facebook quite heavily so will be using this app often, it takes a while to sign in but not this is to do with the software might be the network . all is well with keypad, would be nice to be able to assign notifications.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
new version (2.2.3.0) is available with some quick fixes:

* little bit faster friend fetching

* fixed profile pic upload and cache

* fixed full screen keyboard display

* fixed real time status updates
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
Nice, I like it. Good Job Blutz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] feanor512:
Your site is down again. :(

And it's up again. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
i don't know if you've noticed, but the program is still not receiving everything the keyboard types, if I type fast (which has become normal speed for me), it skips letters.

I'm not sure what is causing this, would you look into it?

HTC TyTN wm 6.0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] feanor512:
Is this happening just in fim or everywhere (e.g. when typing text messages)? If it's happening everywhere, try this cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
it only happens in fim. what will this cab do? I might try it anyway, never know what might happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
i think what he means (and its a good idea) that you try disable the predictive text dictionary (t9 or whatever) and maybe use different keyboard, just for the test, and let me know if there is any different

btw, what keyboard are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iDoktor:
Great app :) thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daltonrenaldo:
I'm using the normal (well, physical) keyboard. The one in the picture.

I will try what you said, and get what to you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
It's been awhile since I tried your program out and man it's looking good and works well apart from it still takes about 5mins to log in over GPRS.I must say nice and fast over and WIFI. If it wasn't for that I would say this is the best facebook app out there. Keep up the hard work and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks for your comment, i can only wish for you to get 3G already.. GPRS is only good for sending MMS :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
new version is up ( 2.2.4 )

added link parser to the chat, which means that http links on the chat window can be double clicked to open it in the internal browser (this might be buggy on wm 6.5)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
Even over 3G it still takes ages mate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luigug:
This application is very nice and useful, thanks!

But I ask if it's possible to have a version that works also with a wap connection. In fact, this type of connection is certainly more economic than web connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
its not up to me, facebook chat is just not available thru wap servers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
users here are invited to try the attached beta version and let me know if the login is a bit faster now.

with this version on 3G i measured 25 seconds till i see the friends list (38 online), i think its quite fast (compared to 15 seconds on my wifi, and 1 minute on GPRS)

if it takes you longer than that, forward the complains to your cellular network :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
sorry mate thanks for trying to speed things up.But it still taking a age to log in. WiFi is fine nice and fast. but3g still slow sorry
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moto2000:
its not slow for me...therefore its probably a problem with your phone or network.

sorry mate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
the only thing you should be sorry is about you paying for a slow data plan :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
2.2.5 is out with some minor fixes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Devileyezz:
Would this work on the Treo 700WX by any chance? (I think WM5?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] privatepilotben:
I have an htc xv6900 (touch) running windows 6.1 on verizon. I had mosko 2.2.1 and it worked fine. Then for reasons unknown to me it stopped working. I keep getting failed to login into facebook message. I get that message 1 or 2 times then just the message connection failed. I am able to login into facebook on WIE just fine. Everynow and then when i try logging into mosko I get an error message thats unable to find data connection, try restart. I upgraded to version 2.2.4 and still same problem. There isn't any symbols in my password. Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jxl69:
I would like to ask where are the settings saved. Some file or registry can't seem to find both. Application freezes on me since i forgot to add password and it will not autoconnect.

How can i reset to default settings?

----

Managed to find settings by myself so ty. Now the app works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
password should appear as ****** , try to retype it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] privatepilotben:
that is how my password appears, I can log into it just find on everything else phone/computer, just not in the mosko app. I've tried retyping the password, login name, soft reset, removing the battery, reinstalling it. It did work for a few weeks and then just stopped.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
New Version 2.2.6

added option to download chat history for a specified friend if its available (looks like facebook doesn't save history of more then 1-2 days old, but its useful to check if you haven't missed something in case of data disconnection)

this option is on the Context Menu of the friend you want to see its chat history (long click on friend list or chat window of a specific friend)

this is done manually to save unnecessary data costs because the history is downloaded from facebook servers.

enjoy

Notification problem

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but for some reason I am constantly being notified that I have three new notifications eventhough I have read then all. How do I reset the number of notifications back to zero once they have been read? Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
Usually they go away after the first time you click to view them in the internal m.facebook.com browser, but occasionally they keep coming back few more time.. I'll try to sort it out soon
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] metroside:
Thanks for that. It's a great little piece of software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jsshw1225:
great, man. i've tried on Dopod 900 Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.465, it works nicely..

i tend to try developing a transport mechanism from jabber/xmpp IM server,

any suggestion / guidance about where to start a first step knowledge base about facebook protocol or predefined library if existed already ?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] w1shmast3r:
great app m8,

i still have to bump that comment in the first page though about syncing the contact pictures cashe in vga with outlook&phone contacts. could you implement that also?

i tried lots of other software for that including outsync, fonebook, skybook but they either sync pics in poor quality or they dont sync at all if the facebook name and phone contact are not identical (skybook and fonebook gives you the ability to match contacts, but skybook gets lots of disconnections all the time while fonebook gives you poor quality blured pics).

is there a way to add this feature? it would untie our hands for sure! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
its a good idea, but currently i only mess around with the chat "API" which gives you online friends name, status, profile id and a 50x50 profile pic, going beyond that is out of scope for me since Microsoft launched their facebook app doing everything else but chat.. try drop them a note, maybe they'll add this feature :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jxl69:
Another question that comes to my mind. Presing enter on hardware keyboard doesn't send the message it self neither splits message in more lines.

I would realy apreciate if it would be possible to send message by pressing enter not the send softkey.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
it has been that way in earlier versions, and its the way i prefer it as well, but users reported it makes them unable to use XT9 dictionary (since enter also selects the word)

anyway, u reminded me of an old idea i had of making a long enter press send the messages, i'll probably add this to the next version.

btw, i dont have hardware keyboard, can you tell me how do you send sms when xt9? isnt it with a softkey as well ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jxl69:
i tend not to use XT9, because it's kinda usless for typing in slovenian or english slang. beside that it will not work terminal programs such as putty or more specific mToken. I do a lot of shell/terminal work through that and i'm used to pressing enter for sending text, entering commands etc. Yes i press send in SMS/MMS/Mail but that's only because i can't use hardware keyb for sending :P In windows and outlook i always use keyboard for shortcuts ... it's just faster than pointing with mouse or finger :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] commonplace:
FIM stopped working for me today. It just says 'Failed logging in to Facebook' when I click 'Sign In'. I've retyped my name and password multiple times and it does the same thing. Any ideas? I switched ROMs a few days ago, but it worked under this ROM up until today. Thanks!

Can't Copy

The other day I wanted to copy something from a chat and send it to someone, but there was no way to do that.

There is no copy and paste option. I think it would be great if we could have one. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dragonman0206:
Great SW! I would like to be able to use Opera instead of IE. Any possibility of this ever being implemented?

TIA

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbobeckyj:
A possible bug-

Friends have said that I am not displayed as being online until I contact them in chat.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ag_meiske:
Good jobs, thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbobeckyj:
ok, I've done some more testing.

I'm not sure if I appear online to other people always, sometimes FB shows my status as a white dot instead of green for online or red for offline.

I also apparently keep appearing as offline, then on, then off... etc.

Messages I send sometimes get clipped, for example, if I type and send '1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0' they might only get '1 2 3 4 5' or nothing at all but a blank line which indicates I tried to send something.

I often don't get messages from them, but I get a blank line. However, I assume this is why you added the download history.

If I ignore notifications of new messages, when it gets to 4 or 5 (I think) the notification bubble does not include 'show', and the fim icon in the taskbar can not be dismissed.

I think that's all the bugs for now, hope it helps.

QVGA 320x320?

Is there a FIX to have it display properly on the treo 800W 320x320 screen? it loads but I only see part of the screen and the list of people online is messed up and only on part of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] legaci_23:
I also have this problem and i have no idea on how to fix it...Can someone please help??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
can you please post screen capture?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
Hello put your program on my phone yesterday and used it twice last night and then this strange thing happened the memory in my rom went from 25MB to 0.4MB. that's ok I thought I will just clear the ram or soft reset my phone that's when things got strange and couldn't get that memory back. I looked and looked and couldn't find were my ram had gone and ended up hard reseting my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
Is anyone else having issues with the new FIM? When I install it and go to run a pop up comes up wont go away.... I go and install a previous older version and I can log on fine... then go back and install this and again a pop up comes up saying "Please Enter Your Facebook Login Email & Password"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
re-enter your login details, the registry settings was moved in the new version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
And how do I go about doing that. The second I install it and go to run it that pop up comes up. Doesnt give me the option of putting in my login details
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kull:
Ver 2.2.7

Gave me some problem while chatting, got stuck and then suddenly began working. While exiting gave an error message about some fm.exe not working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
I still havnt been able to get the new version working. I had installed an older version and am using that. I tried redownloading the new FIM client and when I install it the same thing happens.... that pop up comes up right away before the program even seems to open (once I press the .exe icon) telling me to put in my email and password. If its a registry entry I need to change which one do I need to change and where do I go to do that?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chiuuuuu:
i like it!!! thanks so much for your great work!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
from registry delete enteries under HKCU/mosko.mobi

and HKLM/mosko.mobi

also try to remove "program files/fim" and "internal storage/program files/fim" if exist..

btw, (un)installer of the next version will include automatic remove for this entries, but i still don't know when its going to be release
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
worked like a charm... Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
here are the shortcuts for the smileys, the code list will be added to the next version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] privatepilotben:
so i posted a couple weeks ago about FIM just suddenly no longer working on my phone, Never got any response to what could have caused it. I just keep getting the message "failed logging into facebook" didn't change any settings, re-entered my e-mail address and password many times, tried soft resetting, reinstalling it, same error. I know it's not a connection issue because i can use IE and opera just fine on my phone. Recently downloaded the new version 2.2.7 worked for the first day, with no resets since i installed it I now get that error message. Just tried a soft reset and re entering my e-mail and password, same problem as before. Any ideas? Its an htc touch with windows 6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blaz.andrejcic:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sd2k:
Chat history

Would it be possible to add one of the following:

- a global setting to "clear chat history" when a conversation is closed

- an option in the menu of a conversation that says "clear chat history"

For privacy's sake, I don't like that FB retains any chat history at all, so having the FIM equivalent of the "Clear Chat History" link would be extremely useful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
it's a great app!

possible to add option to change the font size inside settings? i like smaller fonts. the ones here now are too big!!
