pro2, wm6.1

the updated cab installed directly to device on my pro2 and not to storage so i ended up using the original cab to install to the memory card
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
I'm glad u sorted it out mate :)

What I'd suggest is to try to remove the app, clear the temp files and the storage card image cache folder, reinstall the app and apply the registry setting before starting for the first time the FB executable. Maybe that could fix your issue...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hannibalskip:
Thanks, it work great :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1999TL:
finally we can see comments. seeing likes is nice as well. Just need Facebook chat now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] edan1979:
got any idea if i can edit the registry... in my phone the comment button and like only written button1... lolz..

works fine for me - WM6.5.3 whatever on a Hermes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vmalkan:
after installing the new FB app, the screen is stuck at "getting user ID" and does not go any further. I uninstalled and reinstalled, still the same problem. And now the old FB app is doing the same thing. Please help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jmarotto:
works for me

thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iNathalie57:
awww :'( it doesn't work on my i8000, i get an error everytime i want to open it :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Works perfectly on windows mobile 6.1, but I can't see my albums.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] b006:
Thanks for this update, much much better that v1.1. I can now view photos not just the first photo in an album, though sometimes it blacks out and won't show any more photos. Maybe my time is up on photo viewing... :)

It works fine for my i8000. I first restalled v1.1 from Marketplace to override the preinstalled version (same version though), then I went to Main Storage in settings and deleted it (uninstall). Next install this version 1.2, not in main (since the preinstalled v1.1 is there to avoid comflict) but in other storage options you have. Goodluck...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iNathalie57:
OMG, thanks a lot, it is working like a charm now!

Thanks again :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neroko:
Built it into my Rom and works great. No Problems
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
Just Awesome!

Works Flawlessly. THANK YOU!! Believe it or not, This works 100% better than the 1.007 version (the previous version that's available on the marketplace) on my Diamond on WM6.1 running from the 4gb storage. The previous version I had (1.007) just hung and froze all the time when I tried to view photos or check inbox. Basically, the old one didn't even do the stuff it was 'supposed' to do. This version does what the old one didn't for me PLUS it has the new features. I just uninstalled old version, then installed new one, no reg adjustments, nothing. Just perfect.!

Thank You! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aussiedog:
I followed the advice in this thread and removed the existing facebook app(can't remove the cooked in one though) and made sure that the files were deleted in the storage card before installing this version. Installation appears successful as I am getting the app to open, but it is stuck at the 'initializing' stage. It is trying to initialize, but never does. Any ideas? I have a TP2 with nrg's phoenix rom running.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Have anybody found a way to adjust font size??? Maybe there's a trick to do it in the registry, I think it would look better if it was slightly larger but I haven't found a way to change the size yet...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ianhd2:
Facebook without Livechat???? eh

Good update, but still no live chat... come on microsoft, why do we have to wait for something this simple?

Also noticed since facebook changed their page design the "poke" feature now doesnt work

Lets hope a real version comes out soon, It really makes you wonder if Microsoft want people to actually go get an iphone how slow they are at keeping up with them!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] don_sefer:
- Use "Microsoft Facebook 1.1.0.14 (2).cab" if you want the installer to automatically install the application in your device storage.

Does the old files/application will automatically overwritten (HTC ROM 1.66)?

Because dont want to waste the little space i have for programs...

best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samcro:
Hi the applicatin works great!

But just one question, it's normal an auto restart (softreset?) device after installation of this app? :confused:

Tnx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zanix:
A soft reset isn't supposed to be needed, unless something isn't playing nice
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ov2rey:
but iphone face book more smooth and faster :(

dunno when Microsoft will keep up
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] don_sefer:
really want to know this because i want to update!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Why not install to the storage card???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
Unfortunately I don't know how to help you in this case, I'm sorry :( ; it seems that FB will have different problems while using different ROMs. For example, on my HD2, by using an old version of Miri ROM, Microsoft Facebook was working flawlessly; by upgrading to a newer version now I can't fetch my facebook contacts phone number anymore.

I never tried to modify the font size as it's good for me. Theoretically the text should scale as set in the screen windows control panel applet, but Microsoft could decide to make the size fixed aswell...

By installing on device memory it will overwrite the previous files but will still use some extra space (you can't overwrite files on the ROM itself to save space, you can just tell windows to point to different files installed on device memory). If you don't wanna waste the few device storage you have, I would suggest to download the appropriate CAB file and select Storage Card as the install directory.

It's quite unusual, but maybe some files were already in use and to successfully overwrite those you had to soft reset to complete the install process.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xacidx:
i cant seems to save my login... everytime i close the app and open it again, i need to re-type in my login and password which is troublesome. i am using HD2 which i already preset the login under data service but the facebook app is not detecting the preset login and password. anyone has any idea? there is a thread on this under HD2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=631956&highlight=facebook

thanks !!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] r_9:
this is...so far, the best fb workout for WM.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maryveronica:
much better. I only have WM6.1 and the app was awful. This is a vast improvement, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
A new version of Microsoft Facebook (1.1.0.17) is out on the Windows Mobile Marketplace.

I'll try to extract the CAB and attach it here :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ekksman:
thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sst:
I just loaded up WinMo market place and i can only see 1.0.0.7 :( If you extract the cab can you upload it here please.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drakknar:
Sure :) The first post is updated with the new CAB
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sst:
thanks....installing it now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DuoM:
Thanks for this.

Stupid thing changed my status to let everyone one know that I'd installed it. I guess Microsoft aren't happy with just the standard notification on the profile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Real_Justus:
I do not feel any differences about the pictures (dispite the bugfixes :) ).

But there is a way to extend the time the album cache is saved so you do not have to reload a album again and again.

Open the registrykey:

and edit the DWORD CacheTidyCycleDays.

The default value is 7 days. Change this value to something you think is usefull. Be aware of that your cachefolder can be very large by changing the tidycycle to something big.

In

it is possible to change the period of the shown messages. To download all messages and not just the messages from the last few days open the DWORD DeleteMailPeriod and change the value to something proper.

Best regards,

Justus
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gaiden0000:
Yea, for some reason it isn't on the WinMo marketplace any more nor is it on their website.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
It's not on marketplace, if I install this cab will I still get future updates?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
But it is in the first post. :D

Thanks for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gogol:
the image cache path.

how to move it to the storage card?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ianhd2:
Thanks for the update Drakknar, I cant really see any difference, but at least there are still updates happening, and hopefully the live feed will find its way on, in one of the updates, until then we are still stuck with an app that is only half useful
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] owziee:
Just change the path at: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Facebook\ImageCache
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
does anyone have an issue with the login info not saving even though you click the save login box? It creates the registry keys for the login and the key for save login is set to "1" but it doesnt pull it up when you run the program again.. any help would be appreciated..

as far as moving the FB cache to the storage card, just edit the registry setting under facebook and you will see where you can edit the cache location..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazmania33:
i'm using it (v 17) on my blackstone ,

i have an issue ....it tells me that i have notifications, but never tells me or shows me my notifications on the notifications screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] flopshot:
v1.1.0.17 still won't save my posted comments. So I still have to use m.facebook.com.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
has anyone solved this issue? I have this issue as well and since I thought it was the new version, I uninstalled and removed all the registry keys.. the stock on cooked into my mighty rom does the same thing.. any fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
Same here, it's really annoying... Maybe that's why they took it off the Marketplace.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
I dont think its just the latest version since I just restored my registry to the date BEFORE I installed it and the version cooked into my ROM 1.0 (something) doesnt save the info either...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
Yeah, I went back to the previous version which was fine before and it still wouldn't remember my login details. Wtf is happening?! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
I have no idea.. I have tried everything .. I saw other people on the PPCGEEKS forum who said the only FIX was a HARD RESET.. I dont want to do that as it is the ONLY program with the issue.. someone has to come up with a solution.... ANYONE???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
I've looked all over their forum for a thread on this, would you have a link please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
its in http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=79579&highlight=shutdown

go to the thread and seach on facebook and you will see it.. I dont want to do a hard reset.. I have tired everything..

as I have said, the program is creating the registry keys just fine.. there has to be something else on the phone telling it not to grab the info.. is there a hidden file somewhere or any file

that will resolve this??

Edit: I've not tried everything.. While I cant totally remove the cooked in version, I removed the .17 version, removed all traces in the registry and all temp files and any other facebook files I found that went went the program and not the one from TF3D... then soft reset and tried the stock version.. same issue... then put the .17 back.. same issue but it created additional reg keys.. so, something has to be wrong where it is not pickup up the registry keys that are created.. I do notice that it knows I ran it once as it doesnt give me the agree screen and I notice the "save login" is CHECKED which it isnt the first time you use the program (at least in my case it was not). So, what else could be causing this issue of the login and password not saving when it IS in the registry key???

is there something I can use to past my username and password into the boxes so I dont have to type it all the time??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gogol:
Yes, I know that, but how do I refer to a location in the storage card?

\storage card\

?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazmania33:
I'm not having the login problem. i just hit the 'x' button to exit the app (now i don't know if this keeps me logged in Facebook) but whenever i run the app now, it automatically signs me in
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
It's because you don't exit the app, you just minimise it. It supposed to keep your login details even if you exit the app, as long as you don't log out.

I really don't want to hard reset so I hope when it actually shows up on Marketplace it fixes itself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tazmania33:
i don't think it minimizes because it doesn't show up as a running program in my task manager. if it was just minimized then when i launch the app again, it shud open up where i last was? but it doesn't, it opens and starts logging me in.

can anyone help with the notifications issue? doesn't show notifications
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leoni1980:
This IS the live feed. The old version (07) shows old feeds with the most activity. The 'Live Feed' as was is no more on Facebook, but this version displays the SAME feed as the iPhone version - the most recent feed activity (trust me, I've compared), and is therefore now USEFUL.

It actually is more useful in some ways as it also displays things such as relationship status updates, which the iPhone doesn't.

I can report that on my HD2 running the new 2.10 TMOUS software I am having no issues with this software - it loads images faster than ever, with no long loads screens, my password IS saved every time I log in and generally it is very zippy. The only things I'm particularly bothered about them adding now is realtime notifications and the ability to view individual photos when more than one appears in the stream. Chat is of absolutely no interest to me as Palringo does the job fine and also integrates with my MSN buddies.

Oh.....I also wish I could stop the thumbnails showing up in the Album.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
the "x" kills the program but keeps the login info.. for me, as reported it does not.. until there is a fix, I have set up the RODIUM KEYBOARD program to send text with a specific key press so that I can have it automatically enter my email address and password and it works OK.. Hopefully as fix will be found soon...

and yes if you could tel TF3D to do ALL ALBUMS EXCEPT where the thumbnail cache is that would be great... but I havent found a way.... so I pick an album I want to show...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anisebal:
re: [Update: 19 Feb] Microsoft Facebook 1.2 (1.1.0.17) CAB Installer

It is not that "x" is always closing sometimes it clears to the text also.

I want to know about the function that directly bearing the call which I don't want to receive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
I'm running stock ROM 1.66 on the HD2 and Facebook is a pain... When I press "X" it's still running on Task Manager and when I exit (without logging out) it doesn't save my login details.

I have too many loading screens when running the app and photo albums in particular seem to never show up. Can anyone help with that or at least is anyone looking into these issues?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fazz:
I loved the 80's but not in this form

This WM based app is current, yet it looks and runs like a WM5 app.

Such a shame, for such a much need/used WM app, that is far better on other platforms and makes my HTC HD2 (Xanny's amazing 1.3 Evo ROM currently) look SO dated [-_-]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
The app is back on the US marketplace but I get a connection error whenever I try to download it. I wonder if it will solve the login issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dahauss:
Let me know if it does.. I have resorted to used the RODIUM KEYBOARD program and assigned keys to enter my login info for facebook....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
Just managed to download it but the login issue remains, although it might be due to me using the cab first. If only we knew how many people were affected by this... I wouldn't mind doing a hard reset if I knew that would definitely fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MatchboxMobile:
Hi all,

I work for Matchbox Mobile and we developed this app for Microsoft. We've only recently been allowed to talk about our involvement hence haven't posted before now.

Glad most of you are enjoying v1.2 (v1.1 really). I'm sorry we weren't able to get this to you a lot sooner... we actually completed development back in Nov but for reasons I can't go into couldn't get it released till now.

Anyway, I'm happy to try and answer whatever questions you might have. One thing to note though, Matchbox has zero control over the future schedule for updates and what those updates will include - this is down to Microsoft and obviously they don't have a rep on this forum. The best I can do is take your requests back to MS and make recommendations.

Re the problem some of you are seeing that when you exit the app and restart it's losing your login credentials - this is not something we've seen before, the app should auto log you in assuming you've checked save credentials. Not sure if this is a device specific issue or related to a previous install or what. If you can provide more info I can have someone look into it.

Cheers,

Richard @ Matchbox
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
Thank you for coming here, I don't think the login issue is specifice to any device. I'd say HTC phones but some of them are actually working so no idea really. Also if you check the app ratings/reviews on the US marketplace, this is mentioned so I'm not sure it has to do with people using a cab rather than downloading the app.

Problem is, not enough people report on this and opt for the easy solution (minimise the app) which prevents the word from spreading and therefore prevents the app from being updated fast.

If anyone has a solution I'd like to hear it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] scottspa74:
no saved credentials

FWIW, I also experience the unsaved credentials. It remembers my email address, but each time have to enter password. It has never bothered me, in fact, I honestly thought this was the proper behavior.

I'm using 1.2, but had same behavior on on 1.007. Hope this helps at all. Device info in my sig. BTW, really do like the new version better in many ways. Functions much more properly.

Thanks for comin on, Richard@Matchbox
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
You're slightly luckier... I have a HTC HD2 stock ROM 1.66, the native app (1.004) was saving both my email address and password (were saved alson when I had a Samsung Omnia) but as soon as I upgraded to 1.2 I started experiencing this problem. Even downgrading doesn't resolve it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fooldog01:
Works with no issues on my Fuze. It seems like the scrolling has been improved but could really still use some smoothing out. I like it so far.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Real_Justus:
I really close/kill the app. My credentials are saved. I installed the CAB provided in the first post. It runs smooth on a Blackstone with the latest Dutty WM v6.1 ROM :D

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
So things are actually worse because some people get the issue and others don't so no one knows really what should be fixed. This is so odd!

Edit: @ MatchBox Mobile: I did forget to mention the issue of photo albums not loading after you've seen one but it's stated on the first page.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xacidx:
i also having the login unable to save issue. both my email and password will disappear after i close the app. i am using HTC HD2. anyway i just stat how i do my installation to get this issue:

the default facebook app 1.1 does not appear under settings > remove programs

when i upgrade to v1.2, i just install the cab downloaded from here and it will appear under settings > remove programs as "Microsoft Facebook". after installing v1.2 i got this login problem.

is it because i installed it which makes it remove some of the default settings or registry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MatchboxMobile:
Hi Guys,

Yes I'm afraid the credentials saving issue looks like it's going to be a tough one to troubleshoot, can't as yet figure out under what conditions it's consistently happening. Firstly to confirm how the app is supposed to work -

Logout - if you logout of the app, it is supposed to save the email/username but NOT the password, even if you'd checked save login. I know this seems counterintuitive but it's all to do with Facebook session keys and this is the way FB have told us to design it.

Exit - if you exit the app or minimize it, and have checked save login, then the app doesn't actually log you out and so both username and password should be saved. For me personally on my HD2, having upgraded from the built in FB 1.0.0.7, this works as expected. In our formal testing we've not encountered the issue some of you are seeing.

If I could ask anyone experiencing this issue to give me specific details on this (know some of you have already), ie what if any version was preinstalled prior to you upgrading to v1.1.0.17 (ie 1.0.0.7 or 1.1.0.14), plus your device, ROM, how you got the new build, how you connect, and anything else you can think of that might be pertinent. Hopefully we can then start to narrow this down.

Cheers

Richard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MatchboxMobile:
Peew971 - could you provide a step by step guide to repro the photo albums issue? Again this is not something we've seen so need to try and nail down under what circumstances this is happening. Message me offline if that's easier.

Thanks

Richard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nthdgreee:
I have the same problem. Any comment I write is not posted with this version. Looks like it's back to m.facebook.com or lite.facebook.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peew971:
1. Go to contact list

2. Select contact

3. Select album

4. View album photos

5. Go back to contact list

6. Select other contact

7. Albums don't show up, endless loading screen.

From what I can read on the first page, it happened with other versions before 1.2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ejc:
I have a HD2 with Facebook 1.2 installed. I am not seeing any issues with my login credentials, as soon as I run the program it connects and updates no problem.

What I am seeing, and forgive me if this has appeared before and I have missed it, is that all my facebook freinds are not appearing within the program. I have 220 freinds when I log in via a computer, but anywhere between 178 and 185 appear on my phone.

Any suggestions would be grateful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ianhd2:
Just to check, I have 1.1.0.17 installed, and there is a 1.2 version out now, is that one and the same?

The reason I ask is I have seen screen shots of the new facebook actually displaying it as 1.2 mine displays as 1.1.0.17
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ejc:
Yes, 1.1.0.17 is the new version that everyone is refering to as 1.2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ianhd2:
Ahhhh thanks M8 :)
