problem with loading/caching info

hello..my problem is:

I have installed the WWE version yesterday and everything worked great! Today I have seen the updated version and I deinstalled the WWE version and installed the updated version on the storage card. Now when I start the app it won't load the newest news feed, my profile pic, my friends profile pics etc...

Then I tried to reinstall the WWE version and same problem! What should I do?

Thanks for help :)

Settings of FbTransport in Outlook Mobile. Is this working on someone's mobile?

It has smartphone interface :D It needs lot of work.

To bad that this HomeBrewn XDA FaceBook App didn't get as much attention as this.

There are some older device threads where you can find some nice gems by very devotes members.

That's the same application. : D

Since it was taken off the WM6.5 ROM, it's buggy at the moment, and that's expected. For some people, including me, after you exit the program once, it won't start back up until you soft reset. It also doesn't update statuses and uploaded photos right away, so consider those known issues.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] high_noonan:
Installed it on my Sprint Mogul today and it is working out great!

Haven't had to soft reset or anything.

Closing without logging out and then reopening opens it right up without log in.

I was shocked to find that the Upload Picture feature from the camera works amazingly well...and quickly! No fussing about with Sprints awful Picture Mail stuff!!!!

Still am holding on to sMMS (probably send my $5 this weekend), but I've removed SkyBook.

Thanks to all of you involved in bringing a decent FB app to WinMo...without having to buy a new phone. Oh, and full credit where the credit is due: M$? I know I bad mouth you from time to time, but it looks like you really came through for me this time. Thanks, buddy!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:

Help me with my HTC Touch

Hey, guys.

This is really a greatest app on WM phone. but the text can not shown correctly on my HTC Touch.

How can I fix this?

Great thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
first of all which cab from first post did u install? second what language is your rom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abiali2204:
hi, i'm a newbie. i own a samsung i780. does it work on my samsung? thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
if you i780 runs windows mobile standard than it "should" work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shinyzhu:
Thank you. :)

I installed the Facebook-Ather.cab and my rom is Chinese version.

Is there any approach to make it work?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
you need to change these the 4 numbers in this file facebook.exe.0409.mui, to incordancewith your language. Sadly i do knot know what to change it to :( sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iknowsquat:
LOOKS great, does not FUNCTION well on my stock ROM Sprint TP. Downloaded the ather cab, getting the no status update issue, my wall isn't even close to being updated. Not showing comments, even from my friends?

I'm reading some Sprint TP are flawless and others notsomuch.

At least it's pretty and makes me eager for more! Will probably remove and wait for further versions. m.facebook.com is more functional(ugly).

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shinyzhu:
@jug6ernaut

oh,yes!

The Chinese MUI code is 0804, so I changed the file name to facebook.exe.0804.mui, then the texts all show correctly.

Great great thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
yep should work after you change the code :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajskhan:
Not working very well on my TP, but hopeful!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leadpoizon:
Wow, that's awesome! So, let me correct myself, and say this: The issues I listed are occurring for many people, and might not occur for others. : D

This might be cause of the ROM you're using. I'm using NFSFAN's Sprint WM6.1 ROM, on a Sprint HTC Vogue, just so people know. When I open the application once, it works fine. But after I exit it, and then try to open it again after a little while, it just doesn't open, until I soft-reset. This was an issue with many people over at PPCGeeks as well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
Where is the cache files of this application located?

It took me 6mb and i cant get them back even after uninstalling the app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] computerjunkie:
Have you tried deleting Facebook.vol and fbmail.vol?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eranyanay:
well, yes i found them

but it took only 150kb~

There's nothing else?

Just a little note.

The ITALIAN MUI CODE is 04010.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] darthbane2k:
please explain how we can set this up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] carnero:
I don't know. That's reason why I asked ;)

In Outlook Mobile you can add new (e-mail) account. Select all values like user name and account name and go next... after some steps you found item to select protocol. Here is IMAP, POP3 and after installing Facebook v0.14 also FbTransport. Continue with any (probably they aren't important) values and save that new account. When you go to settings again and try to change account settings, you will see what I screened.

When I tried to synchronize (Send/Receive) in this new Facebook account Outlook was writing someting about downloading messages, threads and it stops after about minute on "waiting for request reply" (or something like that). Looks that Outlook Mobile and FbTransport has no reply from server.

But I don't know how to set up this :( I think I may load settings from Facebook v0.14 and then it could be able to download Facebook messages (inbox) into Outlook Mobile. But not now. Still it looks very promising. WM6.5 probably will be 2.0 system (like web 2.0) :)

Maybe is there someone who knows how to set it up...

This great app just doesnt seem to work on my Diamond :(

Opened it and left it running for about 4 hours (since it was showing me the wait cursor on Home tab) Even after 4 hours nothing's happening

Cant wait for 4 hours to reply to any comments on fb :rolleyes:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thenewshaft:
Got to say I wasn't expecting too much from this app after using Snap2Face & m.facebook but after using it for a little bit i am really impressed with what you have done. I'm using a htc touch which is doing a kenny baker with its memory (coming up short) but your app is zippy & stable even with the painfully slow gsm reception.

Thank You

issues

I am having the same problem as a few other people that have posted. It installs fine but try to start it up and it wont get past a roaming message. Then I have to soft reset to even close the program. Any ideas???:confused:???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fx72:
I figured why the app never started up for me and does not work after a while after I did get it to work. I have DiamonTweak installed and set the data disconnect after time for 1 minute. If I launch IE, then exit it, then start the Facebook app, it works. This app has a problem starting up the data session if it is disconnected. I have the same type of problem with the QuickGPS app. So if you cant start it or cant restart the app, maybe this will be of help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ameet:
People who are using this MS Facebook app on their ROMs, I am facing this error even with the cab that Ather created :(

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTClvng Tams:
Hello! A very new newbie here. :)

I discovered this thread and therefore the whole site by way of mobilemag.com. I've made sure to read all the posts before asking this question but I didn't see that anyone has had my problem yet. I'm away from home and not even quite sure where my data cable is at the moment, so all of my programs have been downloaded directly to my phone for the past couple of months; is this cab able to be installed through the phone? I have tried to download it already two different ways. I have the skyfire web browser and tried to save the cab to my phone, but it refused to download stating something like the requested header was not found. Then I thought I would outsmart my phone so I downloaded the cab to my laptop and sent the cab via mms, but when I tried to save the file, it stripped it from the message as something my phone can't process/read (I don't quite remember).

I forgot to mention my phone of utter joy is the HTC Fuze from AT&T with the original rom from the store. :)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

<3 Tammy
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:
Tammy do you have email setup on your phone if so you can download the cab file on your laptop and then send it to yourself as an attachment

given you have a fuze i'm pretty sure you have opera installed on your phone also so you could surf to the site and download the file after you login to the site
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTClvng Tams:
You are awesome!!!! I never would have thought of using Opera for anything since Skyfire is all I ever use anymore. I forget I have Opera. *sheepish look* Thank you sooo much. It gave me the option to run or download, so I chose run and it seems to be working like a charm. :)

Thanks again!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Keland44:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajbopp:
I've played with it about a half hour and I'd say it's very good. Love the interface for browsing photo albums. A little slow at first but once it get's stuff cached it's not too bad on EvDO.

Some weirdnesses:

Checking the "Save Login" button does not appear to actually do anything.

As with all Facebook mobile apps I've seen, takes a looooong time to launch, about a minute from start to finish.

Does not show the ID of people who comment on your friend's status if those people are not also your friend.

Sort of expected that in the friends list if I typed a letter on the soft keyboard it would go to names starting with that letter in the list, but it doesn't.

If you post something to a group you belong to, it doesn't show the group name. Just says something like "Anthony wrote on 's wall."

There are "phantom" comments on your wall (no info at all) when you do something like post a link.

All in all, very nit-picky things. Except for the login thing. Typing full email and pw every time is a pain. Maybe others are having a different experience?

Ok I dont know what I'm doing wrong but whenever I try to open it it starts and you can see the title bar but the window is blank and after about 20 sec. it shuts down. I never get any further than that. Do I need WM 6.5 to use it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zarxic:
Working great on my Alltel Touch, I love the photo viewer. I can't seem to comment on a Friend's status update though.

awesome app thx for dev it !

but i have a problem.

I can't see all writing

such as refresh bar, menu bar, photo, video, capture, load, about, refresh status

the menu is here but nothing is written in the menu

also I can see the case of News Feed, Status Updates... but they are blank (all white with nothing written inside, like the menu)

I'm on Samsung Omnia and XHIA1 french ROM (not cooked)

do you have an idea on this problem ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ajbopp:
Just crashed hard for me after a couple of hours of not very intense usage. Refreshed the news feed page and it just went away. Nothing very interesting in the log. Now it won't start. I'm guessing this will take soft reset to get past, but I'm in the middle of some very cool Josh Groban music at the moment, so a reset will just have to wait. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
well that sucks...and this app was working so well :D lol, hopefully there will be updated versions in upcoming roms that address these issues.

^^^

to above i did NOT develop this app, i didnt even extract it/make cab. All i did was bring it to you...This app was extracted from the new windows mobile 6.5 build 21169 rom. As we are getting a new 6.5 rom ever few days it seems hopefully these will come with an updated facebook app that will address the issues address in this thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Last night i think i might have learned something about news feed not updating. Even after clicking "refresh" it would not update, so i went to file explorer and deleted "facebook.vol" (for me in the root folder) and then went back to facebook ap. I cant remember if i clicked update or it did it automatically but it updated :).

A way we could use this(after more testing) is to create a simple loader that upon execution would delete facebook.vol and then run the facebook & then periodically delete facebook.vol as along as the facebook app is running. IDK if there is a update problem with the inbox but there is also a fbmail.vol that might be used.

could someone else test this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jrodriguezs:
Update Status

I can not Update my Status, this is the only issue that I found.

It is a great application.

I can not imagine what will be do the version 1.0, this work fine.

Thank you a lot

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GaryLittlemore:
Great App

I'm running a Samsung Omnia on Orange UK, and I can't tell you what software etc I'm running cos I don't know how too.

When I try to get other peoples status's I only get one or two updates and they are not the latests updates from my friends even if I press refresh.

Sometimes it even opens back up after when I have closed it down using the X.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
yeah id like to know where the cache file is too, i looked in windows and cant find it.. :confused:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gfxMaven:
I tried it and it appears to work. Anyone else try it? If it's definitely a solution, any chance of someone creating a simple mortscript to delete the 'facebook.vol' file in the root folder? That way you could pin it to your start menu and activate it even when in facebook.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vibez:
I've just sniffed the http traffic that this app generates and it uses the standard facebook api to grab the news feeds.

From the looks of things the lag for feed updates is due to the api, so I don't think any updates to this program will solve that issue ,as the program is just simply displaying the data that facebook sends it:(

I'd love to be proved wrong though.

Oh and it seems the facebook.vol deletion technique is not needed. It's just the feed delay that is making you think it's not updating?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinforum:
I am just curious about whether the traffic is all through http as my data plan only allows me to use the "bundled web browser" to browse website for free.

I love using facebook when I had an iPhone but the iPhone version of facebook doesn't display well on my Diamond. This facebook app is definitely a good news to me.

I would like to know whether it is the same to use this app or the bundled software to browse facebook in terms of the data transmitted so that I will not be charged for additional data fees. THX!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
i dont think so...because i tried to update and nothing, then closed deleted facebook.vol and it updates to new info...

sadly i know nothing about mortscript to create something to delete it automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kinforum:
Yes, that's what I mean. :)

Thx!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] htctoucher:
do you know what the cache is called?

maybe someone who knows script writing would be able to make on for this app that has multiple functions:

1. deletes cache

2. deletes the .vol since you say that seems to make it update

i see it as the kind of setup that the opera backup by debarron i believe has.. really easy to use and works brilliantly

maybe he would be willing?

might send him a PM to see..

Blackjack 2 Blackjack II

Great work. Works fine on Blackjack 2, although picture "capture" doesn't work. Perhaps I'm missing a step, but it goes to camera, I take a picture, go back into FB app, it reports upload complete, but when I try to view the pictures via the FB app or my laptop, the pictures exist but are "red x's."

Uploading pictures already taken seems to work ok though.

As others have stated, you need to log off and log back in to see updates other than the news feed, where you can refresh.

Thanks very much to whomever provided this - it is excellent.

All I know if that this program never seems to get the latest feeds from facebook. It's a lovely app but the lag makes it almost pointless for me. Hopefully they might use the new api in the future to grab newer feeds
