Is it possible to see folk's status messages in the IM app as it was before, or is this a feature Facebook (or you) disabled for some particular reason?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
facebook removed this feature (in the form it used to be), but it is back to 2.3.4.4 as "Status Feed" (see this option in menu -> settings), its quite different as it shows latest status updates regardless if the friend is online or offline
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bjcolema:
This is a great app. For some reason the latest version just opens and closes and closes itself, while I am trying to enter login information.

Kaiser with TPC's newest 6.5 rom
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] buckyg:
I have noticed the app closing when it is first opened. Starting it again works. Seems to be when the phone does not have an active data connection. When I start it again, it connects and works just fine. It has only happened a couple of times, but wanted to report it, since I haven't seen this before.

Running the latest version of fim on a Fuze with NATF 4.7 ROM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
hmm

I cant get this working... I run it, it shows my login and message but no friends show up... I can chat with another program that does facebook chat but just not this program.. any ideas???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] karlcook_86:
i had same problem i just

unticked 'show offline contacts'

see if tht changes it buddy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] buckyg:
So far, so good, thanks for the awesome program and support blutz!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
Using the latest version (2.3.4.5) on my HTC Fuze.. No problems yet. Good app!! thanks

Btw: The 'Add to Contacts' is a bit buggy.. only adds the pic.. no email/phone numbers (both cases, new contact or when appending an old contact)

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks..

regarding the add to contacts - i have said before that in this point the only information i can get is Name and Picture, some said its enough for them, cause the photo is what they really need, so i added this option
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
yes, thanks.. photo is most important :D the next step culd be teh details (whn u get enough time, tech etc..)

cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
Didnt make a difference.. Still says 0 friends online and doesnt show the offline friends.. Although I can use PALRINGO and see and chat with my facebook contacts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
hmm

ok so I think I figured out the issue.. If I uncheck SHOW GROUPS then it works.. HOWEVER, the screen is all messed up and things overlap.. I am on a TREO 800W 320x320 screen... Also whats with the porn advertisements when I start the program.. it is one for HOT GIRLS.. can we get rid of that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
2.3.5 is out

* added status interaction (like/comments) to context menu, status feed need to be on for the status menu to show

* second click on top bar icons shows context menu for web and friends
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khurr:
When I try to post a photo on someone's wall it often get error msg, but the photo gets posted!

Is it possible to add photo's to someone's wall that arnt on my chat list?

I mean, I've ticked for show offline friends, but of my 300 friends only 40-50 are showed, maybe the latest who were online?

Right now I have 13 friends green (online), 12 red (offline), and 15 grey (away), what about rest of my friend?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
actually it says "hide offline friends" i.e keep showing / hide friends who goes offline from chat.. now with the new status feed it also shows offline (from chat) friends who's recently updated their status.. loading the entire friend list all together is a bit problematic for this app at the moment
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] esnover70:
Problem every update app

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I think, is a great application, but the only thing that bothers me is that whenever a new version, the FIM does not respond or shuts down automatically, there should be an option that we know when a new version and can direct download the Field.

It makes me angry every time you update the program that did not work (crashes) and I have to download it again from the PC

:mad::mad::mad::mad:

A mi parecer, es un gran aplicación, pero lo único que me molesta que cada vez que aparece una nueva versión, el FIM no responde o se cierra automáticamente, debería haber una opción que nos avise cuando hay una nueva versión y poder descargarlo directo en el Móvil.

Me da cólera cada vez que actualizan el programa por qué no me funciona (se bloquea) y tengo que bajarlo nuevamente desde la PC
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
first of all calm down man :eek:

now, the program doesn't stop to respond when new version is out, its vice versa, when ever facebook make changes which cause fim to malfunction, a very hard work is made to put out new version that fixes this issues.

if you want to stay updated and get new version installed directly on your device, get a small app called AppToDate, and launch it when ever you fill that your fim version fails.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sorata4u:
AppToDate can be downloaded directly from this URL : http://www.apptodate.org/get ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
People like this dont deserve free software!! Man, the guy has worked hard to give you such a wonderful program and he KEEpS updating it!! what more do you want??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sorata4u:
I agree with you, also you can see as a fan of fim at facebook whenever a new version comes out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thangbom:
Apparently, this phenomenon did not happen to me. Everything went well when updating, just like other programs. Cool down, buddy, and check your operating system (eg anything wrong with the registry keys?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Techitrucker:
I guess I'm missing something here. How do you get to chat in the application? Is there a website with some instructions somewhere?

Never mind, figured it out.

This is much better than the Blackberry App that I have on my Storm. Only real reason I see for having the MS App with yours installed is to get phone numbers to the phone book though I bet theres a workaround to that. Thanks for the great work ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks, and thanks everyone else for the support..

sort of a work around: menu -> web -> phonebook, clicking on a phone number there will open a new window where you can add the number to the contacts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thangbom:
I searched and know that from version 2.3, the add to contacts function is available, but how to use it? Sorry, I tried to search but could not find it...

another feature that I would like to learn is how to get the pictures to my contact on phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
the only way to use it right now is to make a long click ("context menu") on someone's name in the friends list, then you have the option to "add as contact"..

you can choose add new contact (picture + name)

or select existing contact to apply the picture to
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thangbom:
I don't think that I have this context menu. What I have is select all text, refresh page, favorites, add to favorites and zoom level only (using Dutty's Leo R4 ROM, WM 6.5 and Manila 2.5 on my Touch HD)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
you are clicking inside the m.facebook browser,

i meant click on one of your friends in the main friend list of the app (the one with the photos and green / grey / red dots)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thangbom:
thanks, I think that I missed this details... and how is the bug that I have to delete the .bss file before starting it? I still have problem that the program craches if I don't delete it. Thanks for your tireless work...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
what is .bss file? :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thangbom:
Sorry, my fault, I mistaken this with BookSync... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] krook6023:
Umm really I want to to say that this is a great app...whenever I have problems with it I look and there is already a fix/new version out...you do an incredible job keeping this app working...thanks for your hard work!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
Love this application. However I must say the ad's at the top of it running were never an issue for me but today they were ads for sex stuff.... pictures and video of women. A little inappropriate if you ask me. I dont want to be chatting on this out in public and have someone look over and theres a sex banner on my phone! :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
^ although I havent noticed any adult ads yet, but I couldnt use this app if it had in approriate adds.. lots a kids in my family etc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
no adult ads should appear..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
ok .. so i searched changed ringtone.. im using custom rom dont know if thats a problem.. but 6.5 build 23412 and i tried going in and changing the ringtone for new notifications and well it looks for wav files but cant find any on my device???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
assuming you mean "select incoming message sound" under settings?

wav files only, place them under \My Documents
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Techitrucker:
Ads

I find that if you click on the ad and then hit close, they disappear for the rest of the session. Though cellflirt and other ads don't offend me I can see why some people would be uncomfortable with them. Maybe you can get some tech sponsors or something. Audible and GoDaddy love this kind of stuff.

App works great but I did see one bug. If the application is on when you plug it into the computer, there is and uncaught exception error. It also seems to freeze the device up. Not end of the world, I just close the application b4 I hook up but thought you should know.

As before, great app. This is the one that should be official instead of the incomplete one Microsoft put out.

CHome Plugin

Windows Phone (WM6.5) CHome plugin

what does it do?

1. fim launcher

2. online / notifications / inbox indicator

3. status feed (optional, if status feed enabled on fim)

requirements

1. fim 2.3.5 and above

2. windows mobile 6.5 with titanium CHome

Install fim and the plug-in to the same place (Device/Internal storage/Storage Card). start fim manually for the plug-in to initialize.

the whole CHome thing is uncertain coz there is no official api for it from microsoft, use at your own risk

many thanks to AppStar for creating plug-in installer
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Aaron McCarthy:
Here's an example of what I was talking about. However the other day I swear it said unlimited video and picture downloads of women. And another time something similar. I'm not overly offended or anything just thought I would say something in case they werent supposed to be there. I didnt know by clicking them they'd go away though. Good to know
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sparxx2k8:
I am really impressed with this app. All of the functionality but SOO SOO tiny! I must say you are very talented and I am sure I can speak for everyone here that we are appreciative of your hard work and your willingness to share your talent...

I swear, once I am away from paycheck-to-paycheck living, I will definitely donate some cash to the cause! You definitely deserve it!

(now if only a myspace i-m were possible? .... wishful thinking :p)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
great screen shot :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
thanks man :)

Myspace :eek: i ditched the place couple of years ago, i have to admit i also had iPhone back then :) moved on..

WM6.5 CHome Plugin

Hey.. Firstly I love Fim.. its really good work.. secondly.. Im really happy you looking into titanium plugins.. I've tried the current plugin available and everything seems to work well.. haven't noticed any bugs..

That being said, I understand that this is still a new venture, and would like to make a suggestion:

If you look at the CComm and Titanium Notification plugins that are available you will see that they are icon based.. So instead of having the name Facebook in the titanium list, how about putting icons that will indicate notifications, people online, inbox, requests etc.. that way we can see updates from Fim without having to scroll to the Facebook item every now and then to check for updates..

What do you think? Its just a suggestion.. or maybe you can make it as an optional extra.. there is alot you can do now that you're playing with titanium
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
its a great idea, although personally i wouldn't have time doing it myself, you or anyone else around here are welcome to develop it based on the current plug-in..

if needed i can make minor changes to fim upon request
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blibble:
I've been using this app right from the start and I must congratulate you. It gives me absolutely everything I could want in terms of functionality.

I have a few requests for your consideration however.

1. Palringo has recently added the option for larger fonts and this is very handy, especially on my small diamond screen.

2. Would it be possible to make the entered text line more than one line with the possibility to easily review the text entered before sending. Again this is possible with Palringo, and is very handy.

3. Would it be possible to add the facility to zoom to the internal browser

Thanks for all your hard work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
browser zoom - already available thru the internal web browser context menu (long click) , i'm working on a way to save the last zoom state

font size - will be added soon, as i came aware that 320 pixels width screens have bigger default system font size which cause overlapping

thanks for the useful comments

p.s. hope you didn't mean iPhone style browser zoom, coz that would be impossible until Microsoft will embed their new IE browser correctly
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joolay:
Hehe.. ok.. I've got no previous experience in programming etc but have some understanding of how titanium works.. always willing to try my hand at something new so will look into this, however probably only in Dec/Jan as dont have time myself.. but if anyone wants to try then that would be great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Showtime7:
Thanks so much for fixing the 'failed to connect' error that was happening, now works great! I must say as much as I love this app I could see it going much further... Just to put some ideas out there, the bar at the top should be moved to the bottom I think, makes for much easier use with the thumb when holding the device with one hand. Other than that it would be nice to have some of the facebook official app's functions so that this would become an all in one facebook app... There were a few things in the facebook app that were nice (though it was too buggy for me to keep on my device) like the photo viewing and some other things. Maybe could do for some smoother graphics as well, I could mock up something in photoshop but I'm no good at skinning, just graphics lol. That is just some things I think would be useful for myself and others... Keep up the great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JMaxMan:
Does 2.35 take care of the problem of live chatting on fim. The problem is when you are instant message chatting the characters in the input window are limited and vice versa. Besides Great Program
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rfarrah:
Cool application. Going to give it a try later today. Thanks!

Cookies Required

Hello,

I install FIM 2.3.5 on Windows Mobile 5 (htc p3600).

When I try to connect I recieve message box "Cookies Required"

and "Connecton failed" on bottom status bar.

Can you tell me why? :confused:

Frustrated

Great app! I have been using for months now (whatever version that was) and the last 2 versions work great however many times it closes before logging in without error prompt or code. I am running WM6.1 on stock VZW rom. signal strength does not seem to effect connection. what I mean is it has closed with full bars. I know you can help and again I feel thix is a great app! oh I have a TP
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sorata4u:
the same on my TP with my WM6.5 OS/XIP 23001 (S4 v1.4 Dragon Blue Edition) after i updated via AppToDate

PS:fim on v2.3.4.4 runs fine for me, so i use nimbuzz for facebook-chat until the problem is resolved
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmd512:
First & foremost, thanks for fim... excellent piece of software all around!

One bug though... under WM 6.5 (using EnergyROM Genesis 9/22 release for Touch Pro2), fim REALLY slows down the entire system when I minimize it to the windows task tray. All other chat utils... palingro, msn messenger, etc... do not cause this problem. Is there some sort of memory/device/service conflict that is causing this?

(Memory usage does not seem to increase, so it's not a memory leak.)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
try give it a rest, after it finish updating the profile pictures and status feed it is hardly consuming any resources..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmd512:
blutz, great advice, I will certainly try it out. Also as a possible direction, I went through some of my services, and disabled:

MyPhone

PushInternet

AGPS

Not sure if anyone of those were the conflicts, but now the app seems to minimize anytime smoothly and has no impact on overall system performance. Hope this helps!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pcwpcw:
my apologies to this thread

After i posted the above i double checked my version and found 2.3.4.4 i swear i had 2.3.5 i uninstalled and installed 2.3.5 and all is great. one very small issue is when i try to scroll with D pad it closes the app. again on TP WM6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmd512:
Welp, system lag is back, even after stopping those services. It's weird, it's completely random, even though I never have any other background apps running?

Other than the standard manila/tmail/etc slew, I do have microsoft voice command installed. Could that be it?

Also, I am running WM 6.5... totally confused as to why this app will randomly slow things down...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
tell me something, why do you think other running services have anything to do with Fim's performance?

did you checked the native wm 6.5 task manager?

when minimized and about 30 friends online, the cpu I get is 0% most of the time and 7%-9% when there is some action, probably updating the friends list
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmd512:
I'm disabling services I don't need simply because it's just extra resources that make no difference to what I use and because it might be some sort of conflict (long stretch I know, but I really am trying to pinpoint this issue as I do like using FIM!).

Furthermore, I'm convinced it's not a memory leak issue or CPU cycle issue. FIM clearly shows it's using very little CPU when minimized to task tray.

But, it is very apparent that this is the only app (even when I run it alone with 0 other apps running after a frest soft reset) that lags the entire system. In fact, once that happens, the task tray ends up taking a good 4-5 seconds before it slides open.

Again, it's completely random though. Sometimes, it's absolutely smooth just like every other chat app I've run (MSN Messenger, Palringo, etc). Then, other launches, the lag returns.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hdaackda:
I've tried FIM on Many ROMs... (win 6.5) and it works flawlessly....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmd512:
I've been using the 9/22 EnergyRom for Rhodium, and I do have the issue.

I do not have this issue with ANY other messaging app (or any other app for that matter)... which includes palringo and msn messenger.

I don't know if it's Rhodium specific or maybe it's just the ROM. I will try out another ROM later this week and report back to see if that makes a difference.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DebbieNY13:
Are you saying that you're using this on your Storm, or simply comparing it to the program on your other device? I ask only because a friend has a Storm & asked it this would work on his device.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rickmasta:
WHY DON'T WE HAVE AN AIM CLIENT LIKE THIS? This is fantastic, makes me want to just quit all other chat clients.. UHH!! We need this with aim!

As far as I know, that's the only thing this client is missing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
on Menu -> Wall Post , select a pre-recorded video file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khurr:
When U r in chat windows, is it possible to get an indicator of how many comments there are to the status of each friend?

Like:

James Bond

(4) is making dinner.

4 means that there are 4 comments to his status.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
as you probably noticed, it is possible to see the number of comments on a status when viewing the status menu, under the friend's menu, so technically it is possible.

its a good idea adding it to the status line it self, will probably happen next version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ketek90:
can we change so that it opens x.facebook.com instead of m.facebook.com ???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] khurr:
very often when I try to chat with someone he/she gets offline. and a message says "You have to logon to send message", but Im allready logged on!!

And why do the contact get offline when I try to talk? after some minutes the contact gets online again, and if I say something the contact gets offline again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nkhangura:

Facebook site updates

By now I'm pretty sure you've noticed the facebook mobile site and touch.facebook.com updates.

Any ideas/plans on what you might do? Right now I'm just using the external browser setting and it's OK but it was really convenient to have it all built into One app.

Thanks for your work on this awesome project.

Edit: Interesting... Now there are not any FIM CSS errors. The mobile site is working fine now. Nevermind :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
beta testing version 2.3.5.1

* added font size settings

* added number of comments to status lines on friends list

* added native (improved) windows phone 6.5 scroll to integrated browser

* added zoom settings to integrated browser (click on "FIM" icon when browsing)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dudikbs:
every time i connect now it shows me that zero friends are online (that is not the case), inbox count is okay though, is there something wrong ? did facebook changed their protocol ? it worked a week ago..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smarcisin:
it be really cool so that it opens to touch.facebook.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
as i have said before: touch/x/iphone/lite.facebook.com doesn't open the way you expect in the integrated browser, which is the same as explorer in wm6.1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smarcisin:
i understand, im just simply saying it be really cool. hopefully one day in future it will work
