Connection Fail Solution?

For those who are having connection failure with fim try this:

Log on to your Facebook account using your regular computer and go to your account settings.

Under Account Security, have it set to No on:

Would you like to receive notifications for logins from new devices?

Click submit.

I noticed that by enabling this feature, facebook requires all apps to submit a name prior to logging in. For example if you have this set to 'yes' and you log in from another computer you normally don't log in to. It will ask you for the computer name right after the log in screen.

So, fim might be having trouble with this security feature. I hope there is a fix for this soon. :)

thanks for the great app btw.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sc00basteve:
This is one of the reasons I use the 28xxx builds. Right now SYS28236.

They are quite new and IEMobile (& IE 6on6) is WAY more compatible.

FIM works great on these. Only slightly high cpu usage but the built in browser works great.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] habitrapshit:
ok, then my problem is the WM build, i have the 23569.

would it be possible to solve the problems with these builds or should i change the rom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
many thanks for that, i will add it as permanent software solution
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:

I have an HD2 with Energy Titanium 23569 with SPD Shell when I try installing the cab file from Explorer I get an error saying, "Installation of fim.Mosko.Mobi.CAB was unsuccessful." I tried the v2.3.6.1.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] buckyg:
zole2112, you might try re-downloading it. I encountered that error, but then re-downloaded it and it installed fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GrkDLite:
Thanks so much for this! It finally works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Always works perfectly on WinMo 6.1, thanks for this update! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] safeelhd2:
Great app, works perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wickster:
No problem. Glad I could help.

There is a down side to the fix though. On the screen that that follows the login (where fim gets added as the device/app name) there is a checkbox to tell facebook to remember this device/app. Can you have fim automatically check that? Because right now, everytime I run fim, fb emails me about it. :)

Now I'm trying to figure out why sometimes when i sign in, it shows "0 Friends Online."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wickster:
OK. I think I figured it out.

When you set your chat status to "Go Offline" in facebook (see attached), fim seems to respect that settings. So if you're set offline in your desktop browser, and you try to launch fim, it will say "0 Friends Online." Leaving your fb chat online on your desktop browser will show fim your online friends.

It's not a bad feature to add to fim, the ability to switch online and offline. It makes a good "hide if someone you don't want to talk to" appear online. :D

thanks again, i will release a fix later on today
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Itay_Yahud:
Did you already upload today a fix for this annoying problem sir?

Are there any plans to make this work with 6.5.5 and its internal browser? And can anyone long press enter key to send a message? I haven't been able to so I was wondering if anyone else can.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
you can use the fix from this post or try to find your favorite rom with 6.5.3 build 23127 where the internet browser works

the long enter is hardware key only
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flyinonice4:
Thanks that post did fix my browser issue. However, the hardware enter key is what i have been trying to hold down to send a message. I have a verizon touch pro 2. Is there any reason why holding down the hardware enter key would not work as it should with my device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azza6:
Any chance of a 'Customize Colours' option? :D

P.S. I LOOOOVE this software, all my friends are so jealous that I can get on facebook chat. :D

notification sounds

i have a fbook.wav stored in my documents on storage card to which i have assigned to the notification sound, it don't play get the annoying wm blip. even if wav is in device my documents, still the same. any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
suggestions for future releases

hi,

fim v2.3.6.3 is fine, but i have still two suggestions:

1. would be better to encrypt the password stored in the registry. it is plain. no good.

2. nice to have option would be the possibility to enter the url fim uses when opening the external browser. at the moment it is m.facebook.com.

by the way i hope unofficial 6.5.3 and 6.5.5 roms will be supported once again...

cheers

Okay quick question. How do I enable the notifications to show up? Like when I go to menu web and hit notifications, I get a new little window, but my page is a blank white screen. Before when I used this app it would show status updates and notifications, but now it just show a blank white screen. Any suggestions on how to get this working??

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RyanMogul:
Getting connection failed over and over again. Just started happening a few days ago. I tried it on 3 other WM phones as well same thing. I noticed that Facebook Mobile is no longer working correctly either. Maybe facebook has made some changes that are messing with are ability to connect with 3rd party applications.

Edit: I am a knucklehead, I forgot that I changed my password and didnt log out and log back in with the new one for my mobile clients. Facebook and FIM work fine lol.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sc00basteve:
After using FIM for a bit today I had an Idea/REQ:

Any way to add the ability to ONLY open External links in default browser. Could the "Naivgating away from FaceBook" warning trigger it or something?

None the less, Great work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] blutz:
If i navigated to a page i want to extern i click on the blue FIM icon, and then "Open In New Window"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sc00basteve:
that works too. Thanks.

Why does the title include '+ WM6.5 CHome plugin?'

Does that mean the CHome plugin is required to use this app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kkmspm:
!!!!!!

thanx a lot! i need that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nd01:
FIM is awesome and works most of the time for me (there are the occasional instances where it doesn't, but this is usually fixed by restarting) but there are a couple bugs in the CHome plugin which tick me off a little when I use it.

1. When I switch to landscape mode, the whole layout screws up and Titanium just looks really weird. After returning to portrait, it stays there, and only continues to work after disabling it then enabling it again in the today control panel options. (I'll post screenshots if needed)

2. The capital "F" in Facebook - could this possibly be changed to a lowercase f? Otherwise it doesn't really fit in.

I'm using a Vodafone branded HTC Touch Pro 2 with a stock 6.5 ROM.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Eternity-3D:
i actually tried that mtstmp widget fix and it installed and i restarted and everything but in the end same problem is the reason for this because idk maybe i have FIM installed on the storage card?

is there a way around this to maybe put the fix on the storage card and have it read the new webview.dll to allow it to work?

Great app, well impressed.

I've been using it for a while on my HTC HD2 without any problems until just recently, now my contacts names aren't in large font above their status, the name is in small font on the same line as the status and the contacts aren't in alphabetical order.

Any ideas ? not sure if it's my install or if anyone else having the problem maybe it's something facebook have changed that's messing it up.

Thanks for putting the time in to make a very usefull app.

Edited : I have tried reinstalling the app but still have the same problem.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jerrya:
I am using swype, version 5032, and it lockes up FIM every time. I see someone else had the same issue, but saw no response or advice on correcting. I can switch to the regular keyboard and it works just fine, but if I forget to do that before loading FIM, I get the lockup.

I am running an HTC Imagio WVGA with NRG Custom ROM using Sense 2.5 and the latest cookies on WM 6.5 as well as the latest FIM client.

Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gimmie dat:
Nice App!!

I really like this app. I have been using it for the past couple of days on my Tmo TP2. All features work good. This app is close to being the best app I've used on windows mobile. I'm running the Jacko's 1.6 full rom (21887).

I did have one problem, battery life.

The battery on my phone can't last a full day while running this app in the background. I like the notifications that were added but it is almost pointless in my case because I have to close the app when not in use to save power. I understand that the FB chat client needs a constant connection in order to work properly and this is most likely where the bulk of the juice is going.

I know that this is not news and I'm sure your currently working on a solution. IMHO, if the battery issues got worked out this app would be golden.

Keep up the good work! Its sooooo close to being the best FB app ever made!!

All fine, but "Web" -> "Status Updates" doesn't work

Hi,

using HTC HD2 with GOATRIP 5.7STOCK.

All is fine with one exception:

when selecting "Web" -> "Status Updates" I get a facebook error message.

Using an external browser (Opera 9.7) I get the same result BUT I can see the URL now, it is "m.facebook.com/stories.php?tab=3"

When I now manually change the URL in Opera to "m.facebook.com/stories.php" I get an authentication page and after that to the "Stories" page.

It seems like the guys of FaceBook changed something so that the URL U guys are using doesn't work any longer ...

Did someone came across the same problem ?

Is there a fix ?

ThanX & Cheers,

Data Connection Requirement?

I installed FiM yesterday on my Verizon Touch Pro 2. A couple hours later, I noticed my battery levels had dropped significantly. I decided to disconnect my data connection. However, every time I disconnected it automatically reconnected. I uninstalled FiM and it allowed my data connection to disconnect finally.

Is this an issue from the program, my settings or an exception as I haven't noticed anyone else with this issue.

Thanks.

List of Friends: Status: TweetCaster posts: get renderd wrong

Hi there,

in the list of online friends there is the most recent status post of that friend displayed underneath the name of the friend.

When a post was done to Facebook by "TweetCast" from Android, it get parsed or rendered very badly. It gets displaid as "<whateverthestatusupdateis>" first and then in the middle "<nameoffriend>" printed right over the status update.

When U press the line of that friend, the chat window opens. It reads

"Conversation with <whateverthestatusis> - <nameoffriend>" which seems to be what fim received or made out of it by parsing it in an odd way. So the gray box containing the name gets oddly big, but at least it is readeable, since it is not one printed over the other.

This is the case with HTC HD2 Goatrip 5.7 and HTC TD2 original unbranded Stock rom.

Funny enough, neither the HTC-Manila-BuiltIn Facebook client nor meltwaters facebook tab nor the Microsoft Facebook app or any web page representation show this rendering / parsing problem.

Any ideas ?

Want ScreenShots ?

And ... other than that (and the problem with web -> status updates) -> very cool, especially that it just uses the notification bar just like any other mail or message ... so all messages notified in one place ... made me stay on WinMo rather than going android.

Cheers,

pwallenb

Chat problem

Hello I have a Samsung SCH-i760 running windows mobile 6.1.

This app is amazing, I love it! I've had it for 3 days now. However, today the instant messaging stopped working properly for me. When I write to somebody and hit send, it sends the message, but doesn't show the message in the chat window, and it will not show anything the other person says either (until i close the window and reopen it, it loads the chat history and THEN I can see everything). As far as I can tell everything else is working fine. Any idea how to fix this?? Sorry if this has been asked already :(

Thanks for any help!

message bump :/
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] therealhavoc:
I have to say, this has been the most helpful software to me in my HTC Touch: Diamond.

I recently updated to the newer version, and it worked fine for a week. Now, whenever i write to a person in the chat, it doesn't appear in the chat window, neither do their messages. The messages do get delivered, but I can't see them.

Any way to fix it ? I've tried uninstalling, resetting and re-installing but that didn't fix the problem :(

Thanking you in anticipation.

Regards,

Asad.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zoomb:
Hello

Again, thank you for providing and supporting this great app!

Last week I updated to the newest version. (HD2 with previous Energy rom) Some thoughts:

* The black status bar at the bottom seems to have disappeared? I thought this was rather useful, so if there would be a way to have that back? (e.g. If I leave my screen on, on a chat window of a friend, I now can't see wheter she or he is online or not...)

* I too have had the issue sometimes where when I hit 'send' my message just dissapears. I don't see it appear in my chat-window. Sometimes my chat-partner receives it, sometimes they don't. No way of telling.. (off course, if they answer, that's a confirmation :p )

* Did have some device-freezes too. some of them for only 30 seconds, others over 5 minutes (that's when I lose patience and pull out the battery :p ).

* There were some other flaws (like getting an erro saying the message can't be delivered since the person is offline, while that person is sending to me), but I think those were facebook-related, since they didn't occur any more the last few days.

Especially the status bar is something I'd love to have back. Is there some hope for that, or should I just go back to a previous version?

Thanks!
