BTW I'm using XDAFacebook with .NET CF 3.7 and it works pretty good...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nooryus:
1. Does FB Chat work yet?

2. I feel that the xdaFB takes up lots of memory. I have to restart my OMNIA II after each run. Correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yeah, they sent a notice to all the Facebook devs this morning about the new messaging stuff. I'm looking into how it all works and what this means. (What does it mean?!)

Thank you for posting the link thou! Everyone should go watch the movie and get a feel for what the social inbox means

Ok, I will add those specific dates as translateable.

As for the no saved login, that is very disconserning. I will look and see what's up. So far I've ran it on 3 devices and 4 different emulators and I haven't gotten it to not save my info.... very interesting

For accents, encode the .txt with UTF-8 encoding. I will also add the option for those dates

The background should be white by default.

Could you send me a screenshot? also, what is your device/windows mobile version?

Thanks :)

Any more help with the unsaved password problem? It's clearly not an isolated incident...

Help!!! not able to log in

Hello friends

I installed this app in my samsung B7610 with winmo 6.5 but I am not able to log in

New to FB, but I now have FBTab and WM Facebook app. FBT appears to only let me see recent update status reports. WMFB has some parts that do not work well as best I can tell since I am new to FB.

Before I give my dry analytical report I want to say how great this looks and how user friendly the interface is being set up.

Installed this on an ATT Fuze with Energy.RAPHAEL.21916.Sense2.5.Nov.10 WM6.5 ROM. Here is what I have seen so far.

Starting up I tried logging in and had to go back and log in with the "Web Login" button first and then with the "submit" button. This got me in. Perhaps this could be driven home to dense users like me by the login page having the "Web Login" button at the top of the screen with a 1) in front of it and then 2) would be the login for the app. A note could tell us we can skip 1) if we are already logged into the web.

Even though I have checked the "save login" button it only keeps my email and not my password. So I have to enter it every time I start the program. I may have missed that this was intentional for security reasons, but just wanted to give a report of my findings. I am selecting "exit" and not logging off.

Sometimes it takes a long time to get logged in and the app running.

Once I have logged in the XDAFB app login page does not completely disappear. What I mean is I can see it behind the XDAFB app interface instead of the topbar of the phone. If I press my "Home" button and then use taskmanager to bring XDAFB back to the front I see the topbar including the "ok" button. It sounds like an image refresh issue.

I was able to post on my brother's wall.

When I tried to compose a message the buttons at the bottom are covered by the "Home - Menu" at the bottom. My guess is the text input box is too large for my VGA phone. I did notice that if I open my SIP, the resize works so that I see the "submit" and "cancel" buttons. Same happens in Landscape mode.

Just before sending this I noticed my post to my brother's wall disappeared. I decided to "Exit" and restart the XDAFB app. This time I decided to click the "Web Login" button first and the screen acted like it was opening the web login page, but went to "Success" and then closed on its own. Then the XDAFB app started. I almost immediately got a notification of a comment on a previously uploaded photo. The timeline would have had the comment posted between a few of the startings of the XDAFB app. When I selected "news Feed" my post on my brother's page showed up again.

Item 7 above makes item 1 not that applicable. Oh, with the item 7 method of logging in, it seems XDAFB app starts pretty quick after the web login page closes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 2ksilverbullet:
Where did you install it to? I installed it in "My Storage" on my Omnia II (SCH-i920) and can run it in conjuntion with WMWifiRouter and Sirius without any issues. Closing the app doesn't cause any negative impacts. What's your memory (storage/program) when it's not running? Mine right now is sitting around 23mb free (storage) and 42mb free (program).

Unfortunately I can't see how much memory it's using as every time I attempt to minimize it (have the OK button set to minimize apps), it closes the app.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hey, just thought I'd give everyone and update. I'm gutting most of the app and re-doing most of the core features.

I got the image caching fixed and I noticed a 30-50% speed increase in loading UI elements. I went from loading 2,000 elements in 1.7 seconds to loading 2,000 elements in about 1.1 seconds. Hopefully this will improve the scrolling :)

I also did a lot of work getting the memory usage down. I'll get some stats when I'm completely done, but hopefully this will fix the OutOfMemoryExceptions

I've also added a ton of stuff to the actually "Items" (an item is one single row in a list. Like one post in the Feeds panel) which should allow for faster development and fewer bugs. Now I'm going to go through the bulk of the Item code and re-work it to fit the new model.

After that, I'm going to finish up the skinning and call it good for the 3.x betas and release as beta 4.0.

4.0 is where the bulk of the "features" are going to be added. So, I'm excited for that! Hopefully here before the holidays the app will be in its final stages :)

Fun fun!

Yes, I am working on fixing that.

You need to grant XDAFacebook access to your facebook information. There is a link on the second post at the bottom that will do it from the browser. After you've authorized XDAFB, you should be able to log in.

Thank you for your feedback :)

We are planning on completely changing the front Login Screen. It will be much more transparent and will feature the ability to login via 3 different methods. I'm also working with Meltwater to incorporate FBTabs with XDAFB, so they will be able to sync with eachother.

At the moment, XDAFB can take up a lot of memory, but I think I've fixed it. Beta 4.0 should have the fixes for the memory issues.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Yann2612:
Hello Joe

This advance is really cool. :)

I'm still in my translation problems lol

Can you explain the difference between like and likes and comment and comments because I see the wall in both the (3) Like that of (3) Likes. So I lost a can.

And did you see that opening a line to add a comment for example, depending on whether you click on the small or the like on a blue background like the translation is done or not. Yes or No as (like).

( Sorry for google translation lol )
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
Great improvements... really !

I've made the french language file, checked for best fit already with wqvga devices and to be quite the same as the facebook website.

I've also noticed some errors of the dev and lacks of traduction.

Keep up good job !

Errors

1. when installed the application on "Ma mémoire", message will come. but application will still launch itself... if I click "ok" on the message, application will close

2. when clicked upper right of screen :

Traductions

File : http://www.i900playeraddict.com//images/xdafacebook/francais.txt

nb: save the language file in UTF-8 to have special characters enabled !

** loginscreen

still in english :

- "save login"

- "submit" + "logging in..."

- "email" and "password"

but it's ok as it's hard written on the pictures.

Note that the button for connexion is cutted in wqvga

** home screen

- still in english buttons for items

- upper text is cutted in wqvga

** settings screen

- still in english button "save" and "cancel" at bottom

** feeds screen

- in french we said "il y a XX minutes" for "XX minutes ago". Do you think it's possible to put the "Il y a" before ?

- I have to put a space before "Commentaire", else the ) is too close from the text

** profil screen

- the "disabled" of Poke is still in english

- in the intrests part, the texts are too "shorts" in wqvga

In all screens,

[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
You are welcome.

I already added XDAFB as a program to FBTab so when I select launch program in FBTab XDAFB opens. I select the web login and start looking.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] imblfmstr:
I have done this but still not able to login through "Submit" button

It is working with web login but the no buttons are shown on top and bottom, so I am not able to navigate through also to close it down I have to use task manager

Please advise how to login with Submit Button

Currently using 3.9 beta on Samsung Omnia Pro winmo 6.5

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wolfwolf:
Hi Henry

ja durchgeführt "Success " und ok.

über den Submit Button bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung

"Incorrect Email or Passwort". Das gleiche Ergebnis ohne "save login"

Über " Web login" bekomme ich die Fehlermeldung

"Die Seite kann nicht angezeigt werden ... blabla..

Ps.: könnte es diesen Grund haben ?

"Friend names that are really long hang off the edge."

mein account xxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xx

Irgendeine Idee?

Danke

Wolf

yes, authorisazion reply "success" but I cannot login by push the "submit" button. The same result without "save login"

About "Web login" it return a error " This page cannot display ..."
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MusX:
does it have chat client? Winmo FacebookIM app seems to be very ****y because of ads
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Give me a heads up when you want to give that a try and we can work out the details. There a few extras which I've been tempted to put into the tab anyway, so can probably integrate it all at the same time.

translation

Hello together,

this my very first post an XDA-Forum !

But i hate the official Facebook app on my HD2,

so this is the best project ever starts for Wimo ;)!

I installed the Version 3.9 of XDAFacebook.

It looks realy nice, but till yet it won't work much ;)!

I hope it will be better on next Version ?!

For a little help, i translate the language to german.

Unfortunately the language blank-file didn't includes

any word from the app! Only some Menu text can be change.

I bigger problem are the "mutated vowel" like: ä,ö,ü !

For example Menu in German calls "Menü"!

XDA-facebook App doesn't support this vowels yet!

Would it be change in future?

...Thanx a lot for this great work! I hope so that it will be

a final Version sometimes!!!

Greetz,

Mario

My german translation in attechemend!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
hi.

for your letters, you have those choices :

1. save your file in utf-8 format

2. transform letters, as ü=ue, ö=oe... und so weiter

:-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gemues:
@corwin

thanx :)!

I saved the file in UTF-8... now it works :)!

The second choise i thought bevor, but it looks not fine with "ue"...

Now in attechemend the german-language file in right fileformat!

Greeetz
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
Hello

here the german txt with oe, ue and ae

it works fine!

best regards, Henry
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for all the translations! :)

Not yet, but it will. And also, I promise to never put ads in my XDAFB. This program wasn't built to make money in itself.

Sweet, I will.

Basically what I'm going to do is have the app accept commands, and one of the commands I want it to accept will be "Fast Boot" where the app doesn't load any cache information or check for updates etc. Essencially, I want the app to load and be where you want (with the quick boot) in less than 5 secs

But first I'm completely re-doing the XFControls. I'm extending their functionality to be a little (a lot) more extensible. It's coming along pretty well. So far I've gotten a good 30% efficience increase :)

I'll keep you posted
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
No worries. Shouldn't take too much, as you know the fbtab has most of it in already.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] [PhOeNiX]:
i hate the official Facebook app on my omnia, so this is a great project for Wimo

DONATION

@joe_coolish

Just wanted to let you know, that I appreciate your hard work with this app.

I see the progress on this app and I think it is time to show some respect.

I donated 10$ and I hope some people will join...

ToDo for Translations

You need to use unicode strings for special characters of distinct languages that uses those elements. I´m making spanish translations and special characters appears as squares.

BIG, BIG Application. M$ should be envious for this tool.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] LeShin:
I see amazing potential for this app! Great work! This is staying on my phone and will replace ms bs version on my start menu as soon as I can upload and view photos lol

Hungarian translation

Here's a Hungarian translation.

It is UTF-8 format.

Tested on my Touch Pro 2, stock WM 6.1.

(apart from known TP2 bugs, the text is correct)

The effort is absolutely GREAT!

v3.9 works a lot better than reported before on a Touch Pro2.

- I still have the login problem, but hitting the web login, it works.

- the splash logo (fullscreen) stays on top of the main screen when the app loads covering out the system notification icons, like 3G, time, Battery etc.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for the donations and the translations :) They are all very much appreciated!! You guys are wonderful

Yes, some one probably can. I would guess it will be ready when I post it on the google code page, but when specifically that will be I can only give you an est'd time.

If I get a good 3-4 hours straight today or tomorrow, I might be able to get it released by sunday. If not, then it will have to wait until I do get 3-4 hours of work in.

I just did a very extensive rewrite so I need to go through and make sure everything is working to where it was in beta 3.9. At the moment, the code is lacking a few features present in past releases, but I've seen a 30+% decrease in time it takes to render an item, and a 40% decrease in memory usage! So, things are looking up!

Thank you for the screenshots! From what I could tell, I think the problems you are having were one of the little bugs I found during the rewrite. Look for the update in the next couple of days and let me know if your problem gets fixed

This issue has been resolved. It is fixed in 4.0

Thank you again for your donation :)

Slovak translation

Hi,

Right now I am doing a Slovak translation of 3.9 BETA, but I am struggling with translation of the fields concerning the date when the post was added...

In Slovak, for example the only equivalent to "2 days ago" is "before 2 days" so I am not able to modify the languaga file because when I translate the text in quote marks it gives weird results...

Anyway, it seems to be very useful app!

Thanks for it!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigboy38:
I don't understand

Is 4.0 up yet are its in the making
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
If you look on the first page post 2 you will see that beta 3.9 is the last one, so obviously beta 4.0 is not yet out.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bigboy38:
yes i see i was just wondering thanks This issue has been resolved. It is fixed in 4.0 REASON FOR ASKING
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmm... Interesting. So, what we're going to need to do is add a marker for where the number will go. I'll add the ability to add {0} in between the quotes and the number will go there. If {0} isn't added, default to the front

Yeah, that's my bad. 4.0 is in alpha, so you can download the source and play with it, but the actual public beta is not out yet :(

Hopefully soon!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Ogara:
Screen Resolution

Is this release stricly for WVGA? My device (Samsung Omnia 735) will have 320x320.

Is a version for other resolutions in planning?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
yes. to both questions. I have implemented some basic screen resolution detection logic, and this next release will be better, but until I get qvga graphics the app will only officially support (w)vga.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Don't know about other resolutions but it's working just fine on my HD Mini, HVGA, with one strange graphic that I reported earlier, the back arrow at the top. Now the home has been moved to a button that no longer needs fixing.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] EdinM30:
I tested the 3.9 beta only 2 things aren't added yet the chat and something else can't remember now but hell if chat gets added/fixed in 4.0 it'll be awesome, i just recently came across this app by accident lol and i think when it's finished it will be the fb app of all time :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cuartas:
doen't work for me
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, it looks like the rest of my weekend has been filled, so I'm not going to have time to iron out any of new bugs from the rewrite.

None the less, I wanted to post this preview to get some feedback.

Since this was a rewrite, old bugs may have disappeared and new bugs definitely have appeared. Here are some of the known bugs about this preview:

The (x) image in the notification box is not rendering on the homescreen

The profile page is very buggy.

Image caching hasn't been completely rebuilt so some things might not download or might crash.

Here is a list of changes:

I completely removed data caching, so every time you see data, it is fresh!

The panels and items have almost all be completely rewritten, so that means scrolling should be noticably faster

I also made sure that all my memory was properly disposed at the proper time. This should get rid of the OutOfMemoryExceptions

I also copy and save the error messages from XDAFB to the root program directory, so now you can copy that text instead of having to do screen shots

various other things (like adding translation files that I've downloaded)

Things I haven't done but will before the public release:

Redo the login screen

Finish skinning the app

make mrhayami skin the default skin

fix all the known bugs

Please report any new findings and whether or not the OutOfMemoryExceptions have been fixed.

Also, let me know if the scrolling is better!

And just to reiterate, this is NOT a release, just a preview!

Thanks!

Error message

Hi,

I have just tested the new 4.0 PREVIEW and got the error message when going back from friend's profile using the small < button in top left corner.

Here is the error log.

Hope it helps
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
oh yeah, I haven't done any of the header items so they all will be broken. swyping should work still

Another error log

Hi all,

I have found another error when I was trying to like the wall post. There was a question if I really like the post and when I hit "Yes" the error appeared.

Here is the error log.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
Simple update to beta 4

Removed 3 first.

Logged in with submit. Received notification. Looked at it and then looked at pages.

Back arrow goes to a blank black screen.

Log-in screen still hides ok button. Could not exit; had to use task manager.

When I restarted program it logged right in to home screen. Could close program fine.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
thank you for the feedback! does the scrolling seem smoother on non-hd2 devices? also, the out of memory exception when going to the friends list, did that get fixed?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
On my Fuze:

Scrolling seems very smooth.

Never had an out of memory issue.

Note: I do not have a large list of Friends.

I spent a little more time going into Friend's pages and got an error when I picked back arrow. First time worked and second click errored.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
hi there, i tested both the 3.9 and the 4.0 preview and get the outofmemory exception error on both.

in 3.9: the error appeared after clicking through a couple of menus... it didn't seem like there was a pattern in what I clicked that caused the error

in 4.0 preview: i logged in and upon clicking on any of the main buttons on the front page (i.e. news feed or profile) i would get an error message, upon reviewing the errorlog it seems as though it is the outofmemory error (attached)

further re-runs of the program in 4.0 as the program loads i get the error, so can't even get into the program anymore...

hope this helps...

oh and FYI i have an omnia II i8000 running wm6.5 stock rom

UPDATE:

so since then i have done a soft reset...

now i can get into the program, seems to be working fine, until everytime i click on friends and try to get into a friends profile, the programe crashes and another error occurs

A question regarding features: will xdafb support places? i'm not sure if you have this somewhere, but would be quite cool (since it is the hype atm) if you could update your places via this app!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
perfect

hi

i had no errors. scrolling is really better than in 3.9

it seems to be all in all nicer .... only my silly opinion

Do you know when there will be a possibility to search/add friends ...? or is it already possible and i do not find it?

best regards .. Henry
