inbox, a windows error occurs and it’s not possible to get access to the messages

Hi, I’ve just install the cab for fb 1.1.0.14 and it works correctly except for the inbox, a windows error occurs and it’s not possible to get access to the messages,

Has it happened to someone else?

I have an HTC HD2 under

official rom 1.66.406.1 (last one fr)

manila 2.5.19211619.0

radio 2.06.51.07

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
About all the bugs that everyone is discovering: unfortunately as this app wasn't designed to work on WM6.x Professional edition we may have different problems depending by every single configuration. The only solution could be to uninstall, clear the registry and storage folders from every single FB entries and files then try to install the app again. If something isn't still working, I'm afraid we may only have to wait until MS releases a new version :(

In the meanwhile I'll update the first post with the most relevant bugs, let me know if you find any kind of solution or workaround.

Swiping left-right is changing pictures for me. Can't replicate your issue, sorry.

As far as I know there's still no way to see who "likes" a comment/link/photo.

IMHO FIM and MS Facebook app are made for two different purposes. I use FIM to chat with my friends on facebook; it also have a basic Facebook service integration via m.facebook.com.

MS Facebook is supposed to be a full-fledged app allowing you to manage all your FB activities. Unfortunately it still has some bugs and unimplemented features which doesn't allow it compete with the iPhone, the Android and the Blackberry versions. Starting from this 1.1.0.14, Microsoft Facebook app is starting to be quite usable for every basic needs and hopefully a later release will fix more bugs and add other features. Chat isn't supported in this client.

Inbox is working fine on my HD2, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xenokira:
thank you! I'll take any update I can get foe WinMo's FB app.

Actually, this is a pretty significant update. It's MUCH faster than the previous version and adds some functionality. I saw a complaint about the scrolling earlier in this thread...it's not great, but not as bad as I was expecting after the aforementioned complaint. Anyway, working great on 6.5.3 build 24001.

Now it just needs push notifications and I'd be happy.

Installation Problem

I installed FB 1.2 in my OMNIA II. This new app clashes with (or partially overwrites) the FB 1.1 that came preinstalled with the device. Now I couldn't open FB 1.1. In addition, I couldn't remove FB 1.2 from the main storage. Tried it manually but the program just stuck there. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farmer Ted:
When you installed the cab, it replaced the 1.1 files that are in \program files\facebook, so you won't be able to use 1.1 unless you use some trickery. It should have also over-written some rom files (zlibce.dll and maybe facebook.0409.mui). You probably can't remove it with 'remove programs' because of the over-written rom files. If you want to fix that, I would suggest using sk tools and the 'replace rom files' tool. Then just delete the entire facebook folder (or its contents) as well as the registry keys (hkcu\software\microsoft\facebook). You may want to back that key up just in case, but this version of facebook has a few new values. Also delete the imagecache in the \temp folder.

To re-install the original facebook (not sure why you'd want to), look in \windows for a cab file. My guess is that's how it was installed. If not, look for facebook.exe, and a couple dlls (I think facebookgraphics.dll and something similar) and copy them to the \program files\facebook folder. You can check the file 'initflashfiles.dat' to see what needs to go there. You may have trouble finding the registry keys, but they may be re-written as soon as you launch the program. Of course, if the files are just sitting in windows, you can re-route the path of the start menu shortcut to windows, and the app should work fine.

Thankyou
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chef_of_Sweden:
Thanks a lot Drakknar! Works so much better than the old version I had!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
During the uninstall process have u seen any kind of error message or the installer is reporting that the program has been uninstalled successfully?

That's a strange behaviour because the file names installed by the new version are exactly the same as the old version, so they should overwrite every single FB1.1 file, and that's why even after uninstall you could not notice any difference; after the uninstall, windows should restore the original 1.1 files; the only difference are a bunch of extra registry entries which are related to the ImageCache.

What I'd suggest is to verify via RescoExplorer if the files in your FB folder are the ones in ROM or the ones installed by my cab files; Then, just in case, clean your temp files and the registry from FB entries located in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Facebook\ , then try to reinstall the original MS Facebook available on Microsoft website or my cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Snowscar:
thanks for the app, its working properly for me on my HTC touch Pro 2.

Also did a small post about this on facebook app.

You mentioned 2 features in the what is missing section. Are those features available on the version from MS Marketplace ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
Thanks for the sugggestion; I tried to do that, but if I include the updated 0410.mui file in the cab, it won't install complaining that it's not signed with a trusted certificate

I'm glad everything is working fine :) Nope, the version I posted here is the same of the MS Marketplace one. The "What's still missing" is actually a list of things that the Microsoft Facebook app hasn't implemented compared to other platforms (like the iPhone, Android and Blackberry FB app)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aikobel:
The whole FB server is down since yesterday... so nothing to do with Microsoft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
??? I figured out all I had to do was click LOGOUT of the software instead of EXIT like I usually do.. then l I just logged back in and ALL is working...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamadorj:
Yeap. I also fixed the "refresh problem" just by logging out and then logging in. Everything is refreshing normally now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] drift08:
i did that yesterday but it didn't fix it. altho, i just tried it and it works! thx dahauss! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
Well It works but try EXITING OUT and then going back in without logging out.. IT DOESNT REFRESH.. you have to start the program and logout and then login to get it to work.. whats going on?????????????????????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] riji:
For me it works once each time I log out and log in, but that's it... I don't think such a "procedure" is normal, does anyone has some understaning what's the problem?

104error: incorrect signature

i had this installed on my phone, but couple days ago it's started to get annoying, i keep getting "104error: incorrect signature" .

anyone have the same problem? thnaks in advance :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamadorj:
No, this "incorrect signature" problem hasn't showed on my phone. The only issue right now is still the required "log out -> log in -> refresh" procedure, that is a real pain.

About this refresh issue, I haven't found any solid information: there's nothing about this at the Microsoft Answer Forum and it seems there's only one more thread about this subject at XDA.

That other thread is located at here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=791783. According to the last post this refresh issue is being caused by Facebook.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
Funny thing.. There is a new XDA FACEBOOK APP I found.. While It doesnt do everything and doesnt show photos yet, it doesnt have the logout/login issue and it does refresh.

HMMMM
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Adam86:
Same for me too, been like this since Tuesday/Wednesday
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
same happening here, would be good to be tweaked as many people rely on fb app rather than using browser, noticed the xda facebook app just a shame still in infancy.

Only solution temp fix is noted sign out p.i.t.a as then @ the same situ as the users who couldn't save log in details.

Hope for fix soon.

I'm having the same problem. I have tried everything apart from wiping my phone. Had this problem since the 23rd September.

Looks like a bigger issue that the phone. an MS or Facebook problem.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JGold02:
Me too...

Same here too and two other people I know. All with the same phone... (AT&T Pure (Touch Diamond 2 / Topaz?)). I read somewhere that when Facebook went down on Sept. 23rd, that they switched to "a third party networking provider". Could this have something to do with the issue we are all experiencing? I just thought that since it seems to be that FB Mobile cannot seem to hold a login after being closed that it might be related to the way we are connecting to FB. I.E. through the 3rd party network provioder. Just a thought. Also, does anyone know if someone is looking into this any further?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piffdaddy420:
First post on xda!!!

Error 104: Incorrect Signature issue as well, started only couple days ago..

I think it has to do with facebook's new feature of showing who is online and allowing to disconnect them,

it is VERY ANNOYING.

the only way i know to remedy this issue is to sign out, and log back in....

any other (easier) ways?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YzRacer:
Mine worked for a few hours last night after I signed out and back in. I almost thought it was fixed as I was able to send/receive messages and refresh my home page. Once I closed the app and tried again today it was back to being broken.

does not work on my hd2 first time run after install is fine, if I close the app and reload it will not refresh leaving me using the mobile browser version which honestly annoys me lol any info would be great

I have a suspicion that all MS services/apps are having this problem. My FB and Myphone apps work on WiFi but not on network data.

According to this post (forum.ppcgeeks.com/windows-mobile-software/134343-facebook-wm-6-not-working-since-9-23-outage-2.html) an update should be right around the corner... :)

Keep your fingers crossed!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamadorj:
I followed your suggestion, but weeks ago I wrote at another MS Answers thread that had no effect on this issue.

I hope this time MS consider this problem seriously.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamadorj:
The latest MS Answer Forum thread about the MS Facebook app "refreshing" issue was declared answered after this post:

Hi, 2 days ago I got this answer of Microsoft.

Hi Jorge, we are currently working on an update we expect will help resolve your current refresh issue. We expect the update to be available within the next two weeks. After you update your phone with the update, let us know if you are still experiencing the same issue.

Thanks,

2ndparty Support​

Let's hope MS really fix this problem with the Facebook app within this time period.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Andrew F:
Hi All,

Facebook have changed the way a user session is managed, so this requires an update to the client to fix the problem. As a work around if you log out and log back into the application manually (rather than use the exit option or close the app) you should be able to use the application as normal. Let me know if that works.

An update to marketplace is imminent.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corwin9S:
well... so i will set it in big letters :

FACEBOOK APPLICATION HAVE A PROBLEM NOW ABOUT REFRESHING DATAS AND INFOS.

YOUR MOBILES ARE NOT THE CAUSE.

MICROSOFT IS WORKING ON A SOLUTION...

because it's said so many times before this posts... that no one will read it more.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
That is WHY I gave up on WM 6 and went to ANDROID and A NICE EVO 4G. EVERYTHING works great on that! Too many things were starting to NOT work on WM6 and the TP2 and it was freezing more then it was working.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aniphreak:
its there a working solution for the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aikobel:
If you mean a workaround, it's using the latest version (1.1.0.17), signing out right after the application is launched, then signing back in and refresh.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joe_coolish:
Or you can use MINE :D

XDAFacebook is in Beta 3.x right now, and soon will be fully functional. But it does do data refresh and allows for status updates and a few other things. As I get more time to develop, the app gets better.

If you want a good microsoft alternative, give it a try and leave me some feedback :D

won't connect using gprs with proxy settings...

hope anyone can help me.

My device is a Samsung i637, running Windows Mobile 6.1, Facebook version 1.2 (Microsoft Facebook 1.1.0.17)

My phone connection to the internet is GPRS using a proxy, I browse Internet just fine, but when I try to login with Facebook application, it stays at the initial screen "Getting user ID..." and will never end.

Let me show you a screenshot: es.tinypic.com/r/21e94yf/7

Connecting using wifi is fine, and even tried using another connection (3G, but without proxy server, from another company) and it worked. It leads me to think somehow when there a proxy server it will not connect.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ubuntu7782:
I was having an issue with the facebook app. Using WM 6.5 with mightyrom, HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon. Every time I would try to login it would get stuck at "checking for data." I tried uninstalling the facebook app and re-installing it from the windows marketplace (multiple times), but I still had the same issue. The issue started in Aug/Sept 2010.

I just downloaded the cab file from the first page of this thread. Then copied the cab file onto my phone. I then uninstalled facebook and installed it from the cab file (not from windows marketplace) and the facebook app is now working again on my phone.

Since windows marketplace does not allow you to re-download an application, it just has a repository of your downloaded apps, where it installs them from. Not sure where this location is on the phone. So it looks like the install files and the program itself both somehow became corrupted, but the cab file in this thread is not corrupted, so when I copied it over to my phone and installed it, it was a clean install.

Login Problems

Just wanted to let you know that in my case (WM6.1 + FB installed on SD card) the new app continues to "forget" the login credentials even when the "save login" box is checked. The "Login"-Key (a binary chain) is being present in the registry on startup but for whatever reason FB is not able to find or manage it so I have to re-enter e-mail and password on every launch.

One wuestion though. What are the fonts that this application uses. I am having an issue with armenian fonts (bricks instead of letters). In online versionin opera i replace tahoma fonts in HD2 windows folder by the ones taken from Win 7 Fonts folder - it does the trick - i can read armenian. But not in your app.. I guess it uses some other fonts..

So is there a trickto be done?

Why are you describing the version for this app as 1.4 in title, but in marketplace it has the version 1.3? That's a little bit confusing.
