[HD2 General] johnpwu:
I just got my HD2 from tmobile yesterday. Initially, I was able to view contacts' facebook photos either through the facebook app or directly from their contact page. However, for some reason, I am no longer able to (I either get "Fetching" eternally, when using the app, or "user has no albums to display" when trying through contacts).

Obviously I'm using the factory ROM, I've tried a hard reset (no luck) and have also tried ensuring that the relevant cache is properly set, but my problem remains.

Edit: I also get an error if I attempt to go through Albums to the facebook user.
[HD2 General] ccezar2004:
i have the same issue... one contact i can see the albums the others i don't
[HD2 General] johnpwu:
Also, my phone info:

ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE

Manilla: 2.5.20121412.1

Fresh off of a hard reset, first thing I tried was the facebook app, and it hangs on "fetching."
[HD2 General] mikron15:
Same here...I have tried different Rom's too and it's the same. I believe it has to do something related to the new facebook privacy settings...possible a setting on each individual profile to block external application from accessing?
[HD2 General] gerelee:
mine hangs on 'fetching' also, us hd2.....
[HD2 General] johnpwu:
it seems implausible that it is a facebook privacy setting: mine works sometimes, and it does not seem to depend on the user either. one time, after a hard reset, i could see one friend's photos, but only for a few hours. then it hung on fetching. I'm using the factory us tmobile rom and trying to view facebook albums immediatly after a hard reset. some user's photos will show (consistently) others will show (but will stop displaying after a short period), and some won't show at all. it is not consistent across users.

is the facebook app simply bad? does it work consistently for anyone? if so, what are.your settings, if you don't mind sharing? i'd really appreciate any help, this seems like too significant a feature to simply not work, i'm hoping that i'm just missing something. thanks

edit: starting a new thread. having re-read the OP's problem, mine (and some of the others') problems do seem substantially different.
[HD2 General] carhigh:
I am having the, "i cant see my own photos" problem. Every thing else seems to work fine. I would just like my own pics to load so i can tag them when i upload them

I even tried installing the app to storage card instead of using the cooked in app in the NRG rom. The Tilt 2's we used before didnt have this problem and i just checked my daughters app this morning on her tilt 2 and its working normal. Though mine and my wifes HD2's dont get 3g, we have even tried on WIFI
[HD2 General] Finch44:
Tried This?

I experienced a similar problem recently. Heres what I did -

-Downloaded the newest FB app from Windows Marketplace.

-Input user name and password and confirmed it working and could view

albums in the app itself

-Turned off automatic updates, then turned back on

After that, the albums seemed to work and fully load. Essentially what I think happened in my case was I had an older version, downloaded a new one and never reset my FB settings on the HD2 settings tab for data services (so it didnt see me as an allowed user, rather a "guest" FB account trying to view an album). Then I could access HTC Albums and see all the pictures again. Again, may work for you, may not. Just an idea that worked for me. :D

Definitely worth trying tho.

Good luck, let me know if it helps anyone.
[HD2 General] carhigh:
That didnt help me at all. Its random and i had my pics load in the app a couple times, with only place holders, no thumbs, but its after logging out in sense and restarting. Only some times though. Most of the time it just sits there loading forever

I can see all my pics in the albums just fine at all times, and i see all others too. Im just trying to get the app to load them so i can tag if i need to, like the other day when i found out this problem exsists
[HD2 General] carhigh:
I figured out a way (a trick) to get my photos to load so i can go in and tag. I setup facebook app to rotate in BSB tweaks and now when i go to my photos in facebook app and it sits there with the animate loading, i just turn my phone and the place holders show up. Good enough! Then flip the phone back and go in and tag the mobile uploads.
[XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps] rainsey:
I'm looking for a fix for Wifi active sync I realize the earlier versions before 4.0 include this option but I can't seem to find a another program or a fix for wifi. I've just brought a v2 Bluetooth adapter but i want to return it and use wifi if i can get this to work. I really want to have the latest active sync. Any ideas?

[General Topics] Caker:
I noticed my text messages in TouchFlo 3D were showing only received messages first and after scrolling past them all the sent messages were above. But this only applied to the messages after Dec 31. Although my "Conversations" in the standard text messaging were displaying properly. So after a couple days of screwing around I finally realized that the received messages are showing up as 2016, but the sent ones are 2010. So although my they are displaying correctly in the standard text messages they are still showing 2016.

My TouchFlo home screen says 2010, my time in the Clocks/Alarms setting says 2010 and my long date date in regional settings says 2010. Anybody have any ideas?

Here's my info:

Device: HTC Touch Pro 2

OS: WM 6.1

ROM: Stock Telus 1.19.661.3

[General Topics] jad011:
their is another phone brewing, looks like the droid 2, might be connected with the nexus 2. Is this something worth waiting for, or should i go to the nexus one ?
[General Topics] Mi|enko:
Depends on if you want something right this seconds, or want to wait for something that's currently just speculation. Also, it probably depends on how desperately you need a physical keyboard. Personally, I went for the Nexus. ;-)
[General Topics] quicksite:
The Nexus Two is rumored to be the Motorola Shadow, no? I think with slide down hard keyboard, maybe like the Pre?

At first I was pissed I'd just shelled out $500 to buy a new GSM version HTC Hero, a phone I love... only to have that sinking feeling of, wow, same price and 2 months later and a beautiful new screen, much faster processor, etc.

But after the first 3 days of wows! gave way to next 4 days of outrage from customers looking for support from Google, and the discount from T-Mobile, and having 3G connect problem, and soft-touch key offset problems, i decided why do I need to rush to that? For me when I finally saw the Nexus One side by side with my Hero here in San Francisco talking to a Google employee in my neighbirhood (the entire company worldwide got the Nexus One in November as a company gift), I saw not as much super-wow differemce as i had imagined, and, i saw same crappy trackball that my Hero has, with no sensitivity control. (Even the Google guy said he oftejn accidentally brushes against the trackball when working the soft keys)

So, for me, once I then saw the HTC Bravo is coming to Europe in 2-3 months, with almost same specs as N1, but IMPROVED with OPTICAL track ball, and refined better layout of soft buttons, i thought: I'll wait for that one.

But yes, it's true, you can never outfox technology by waiting til later. The tradeoffs are always "but you're denying yourself usage now" etc.

For me, i way prefer soft keyboard to hard, but thyat's why Google's next phone allegdly will have hard heyboard.

btw, remind me to tell anyone who's interested what the Google guy, who;s in PR, turns out, had to say about the major comsumer pushback against Google not providing phone support for a $500 cionsumer device....
[General Topics] jad011:
only problem with the bravo is that small screen size

The latest Fring version (3.35) doesn't work for me either on Windows Mobile 6.5 (tried 3VO and Lovebabyjing).

Which Fring version are you using?
[Nexus One General] johnny21a:
Hi guys,

I have a question. I just won a Nexus One on ebay and the guy that sells it tells me it's SIM locked to T-Mobile. Is there such a version ? And if so, how easy is it to unlock it myself ?

Waiting for your answers, thanks in advance!!!
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Nope. All N1's are sim unlocked.
[Nexus One General] johnny21a:
Even when bought with a T-Mobile program ? Sorry for asking again but this guy insists that it's locked. And I also found some site that offer unlock services for the Nexus One, so I reaaaaaally want to make sure before buying one as I won't be able to return it if there is a problem as I live in Greece
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
My understanding is that no N1's are sim locked. Google said the same when the phone was released. Worst case scenario is that you'll have to drop $10-15 to get an unlock code online, but I'm pretty sure it's unlocked.

Anyone else care to comment?
[Nexus One General] dbaboci:
All Nexus Ones come unlocked. There is no locked version of the Nexus One - it would defeat one of the imperial concepts Google is shipping with the phone.
[Nexus One General] obadvw:
if that is the case so why people is buying unlocked N1s

it's much cheaper to buy T-Mobile version and then put any sim inside

am i right or i am missing something????
[Nexus One General] Accused187:
The T-Mobile version requires a 2 year contract which over its lifespan will cost more than buying the unsubsidized version upfront.

And to the OP, Google has said that all N1 phones are unlocked whether its subsidized or not - one of the advantages of selling the phone themselves.
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
Even if your phone 'is' Sim locked, which it's probably not, after 90 days of service with T-Mobile, you can call them, ask for an unlock code, and they will send you one via email, for free. Don't pay money to some idiot on eBay when you can do this yourself at zero cost, especially since you likely won't have to do it at all.

Also, stop pressuring the seller about whether or not it's really locked or not. Maybe he'll look into it, find out it's really unlocked after all, and jack up the price! :p
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
The OP is from Greece.
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
oops :o

I suppose he could try asking the seller to call T-Mobile and get the unlock code.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
It would be an option if the phone was locked... but it's not. I don't know of any way that a normal consumer can lock a sim unlocked phone.
[Nexus One General] SpyderMS:
I know it's not locked, but he's paranoid it could be. It was just a suggestion to ease his fears :)
[Nexus One General] ddkore:
I know for a fact that some nexus ones are locked

I know this is an old thread, but it's what i found try to figure out why i my phone didn't work with a tmobile sim while on a business trip. I Purchased my nexus one from KT olleh in Korea in march '11. I call KT and they connected me to HTC in Korea. HTC gave me the unlock code for free over the phone. I just wanted to share so that other people with locked N1s don't think they going insane. The FAQ should probably be updated.

[HD2 General] vuedesprit:
well TCPMP GoForce 5500 seems to open the file at least but doesnt work properly, it run like buffering, so run 1 second and stop for 10 others, then run and stop, skipping most of the frames, i tried to change some settings for buffer and other numbers with no luck, even when i tried the gdi or direct show, the device freezed, only the raw framebuffer works with this frames problem. Any idea Xeon, by the way my device is also HD2
[HD2 General] PG101:
As Xeon said.. Goforce was not made for our device and hence some problems... when a software is not made specifically for the device its really a hit or almost a hit.. it either works or it works with problems like screen aligments etc...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrhankey184:
I just purchased the app for $5.00.

So far this is what I have experienced.

-Sound quality much better and louder than the freeware groovefish app

-Very user friendly

-Doesn't lock up or freeze

-Can add as many songs as you want and queue them up as you please

-Album art on most songs is nice to have

-Can hit the power button to turn the phone off and music continues *HUGE PLUS*

-Very finger friendly -finger scroll up or down- i had problems with the freeware app picking songs as I tried to scroll or struggling to scroll in general

-All songs play - freeware app 70% of the songs didn't play and would remain on "requesting stream"

WHAT its MISSING

-Saved song playlist - an app that cost money should have this small feature or at least a recent search *10 previous songs played*

-When you are listening to a song and a call comes through, the song should be paused and restored if the call is ignored or when you are done with the call *you have to open the app and click play in the player currently*

-Navigation pad should be compatible with the scroll list so you don't have to use your fingers if you don't want to

If I find out anything else I will let you guys know.

IMO, its worth the 5 bucks especially if the developer keeps making improvements..just hope for an auto update function when that happens.

Am sorry to say that this program doesn't even initialize on my hd2 using wifi and gprs both connections.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thepolishguy:
tested and bought.

i tried the free trial (you can open the trial version as many times as you want- it will only run for 5 minutes). I decided for $5 (i spend that much at starbucks wo even thinking twice) i might as well give it a shot.

I am very pleased with the results (but i am not real particular).

1. you can navigate to any song or artist and build a playlist that will play automatically (you don't have to pick one song at a time, listen, search for a new one, over and over etc.)

2. nice professional interface.

3. Playlists- ok- i hate to argue with the reviewers and mrhankey but this is my experience with the playlist.

a. i do not pay for a VIP membership at grooveshark.

b. i cannot create a playlist on the mobile client (nanogroove) but i can access the playlists i have created on my free subscription to grooveshark. I don't know if i am supposed to be able to or if it is just a fluke- i just know that i can bc i double checked before posting here.

so i think it is pretty cool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrhankey184:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Barguast:
I may well be -very- biased in saying this, but charging for the use of someone else's free service seems extremely inappropriate to me. I thought I was skimming the edge of legality with Groovefish given that it doesn't even attempt to support Grooveshark's advertising, but this may be a step too far.

That said, it's no skin off my nose either way! The app seems quite easy to use, and I'll certainly keep an eye on it's development. I certainly won't be paying for it though. :p

If the app works correctly, and makes it easier on us *the user* the fee asked for is small. For 5 bucks you can buy a big mac combo from Mcdonalds.. or for 5 bucks you get all the features that actually work in the groovefish application.
