This is a good app, I really like the finger friendliness and I think this is a great project. I like the big icons, and I feel this has potential to be the premier facebook app for Windows Mobile. I think in some ways its better than I did want to point out a few things. Keep in mind I am using HTC Fuze.

The first is that I notice that versions 3.9, 4.0, and 4.0.1 all are memory hungry. What I mean is that I am noticing memory leaks, even when I close out the program. my device runs slower and the RAM is slowly decreasing with the performance being sluggish. I notice this to be so, in contrast to the usual decrease in RAM and performance that Windows Mobile normally uses. Second, I notice that the app crashes if I try to upload a photo. It will begint o upload, then the app closes and gives an error message. I am not sure because the feature is not enabled yet, and I notice some parts are missing, but coming soon. Lastly, sometimes I notice that when I try to open the app, it will crash immediately.

I am not sure if it is just my device, or if others who either use the same device as me (or another flavor of the same device), or in general but I noticed that version 3.7 worked the best on my device. Thus far, with these issues, I can not use this app on a regular basis. I did delete the directory of the old verison(s) before I installed the completely new version to try to have a clean install rather than upgrade. Hopefully a future release will address these issues.

So far the developers have done a fantastic job. Please keep up the good work!

I love the look and feel of this application. I love how it updates itself. I can not figure out how to update my status anymore. Please assist.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] claus1953:
Lately beta 4 is not working as it should, if i go to friends it takes forever and never loads, then i have to terminate the application via task manager and the even soft reset my device as it becames very sluggish and unresponding.

Also ram usage goes up 10 mb until i soft reset.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] moolash:
Rather feature suggestions than bugs this time

2 ideas at the moment:

- Having a comment and like button at the bottom of each post would be great, so that you do not have to scroll all the way all back up the top to make a comment

- Having thumbnails when selecting a photo to upload
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
:D Yep, I figured you're on top of things.

So, should I post a test cab that tests the login process? Or should we wait and post a cab for once the UI has been pasted on? Basically all I have is a login that stores the Email and saves the Cookies (which is where all the magic happens btw). Once I get the AuthKey I post the raw JSON object for the person's profile. Is that test cab worthy?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Joe

I would like to keep revelations like this for our first meeting.

There we (you, me, Fredz) will present what we currently have and discuss the possibilities and further development.

As for the UI, I only have a .png concept, nothing which can be worked with.

So as of now we only can wait for the meeting to see the concept and ask ourselves - Will it be possible to use UI like this? Anyways, I am very happy to hear that you have already something functional :) hoooray..

GOOD WORK!

@thekrautdog

As for the Donate link, there is none so far, but if you wish to donate, tell me how much would you like to and I will add you to the donors list.

Much appreciated ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Hi, i m sorry about not be more implicate during the last days but i have problems with my internet connexion. Sometimes a can not connect, and sometimes i have a really bad speed. Less then 1 Ko/s. I m going to download the latest svn version to see your progress.

PS : I m OK with Sopis to wait until our meeting.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
It's cool :) Don't worry.

The latest SVN push is a couple of days old. I'm going to commit the full login piece tonight when I get home from work, so if you wanna wait a couple of hours then you can get the freshest code :D

Oh, I was going to ask you something. I'll send you a PM
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thekrautdog:
Oh, 5 bucks I guess for a poor bloke like me. Just get back to me at your convenience with how and when :^}
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok Fredz, sorry it took so long. Finally got the update committed :)

Oh, and the project default is Windows Mobile 6.5.3. You can change it if you need, no problem :)

Tell me if you can get to the authkey at the end and if there are any hiccups or anything

Hope you like it!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Thanks Joe. I ll download it when i live office and post remarks after.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
okey dokey :) thanks dude.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
I want to try too :rolleyes: How can I do that? :P

Or you can show me on our meeting...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
it's not that hard. But you need Visual Studio 2008 at this point. If you don't have access to VS, I'll post a CAB in the d/l section :)

When do you want to have the mtg? Friday?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sinoo:
Just to ask a short question:

Will you support WM 6.1 or 6.5?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes. It will support .netCF 3.5 so any OS that can load .netCF 3.5 this will work.

The big thing is going to be the resolutions. I'm thinking WVGA, QVGA, WQVGA, and VGA will be the default resolutions that we'll support. Other resolutions will have to be requested.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
Connection to Facebook

I m able to get to authKey now. But I need to paste the autURL in the browser of my PC to accept the application to access my profile. The application can't do this automatically for me actually (Frensh user). Maybe we need to work on this.

I know where the problem come from. I have open the issue 3 on googlecode page. I'm not at home now so i can't test the correction. Maybe tonight.

@Joel : Great Job for Authentication and login, now the project can really start.

@Sopis : Have you work on the design of the connection form ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
Fredz

if you mean the login screen, then yes...the login screen is ready - only the concept though, nothing that can be worked with...I guess we can have a meeting this weekend..

What do you say?

Joe?

What do you
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Friday or saturday morning (evening for you guys) will work for me.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
ok..I am OK with friday and saturday...but something around 11 or 12 PM...it should be ok with joe, what about you Fredz?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
we have a 6 hour off-set I believe (GSM -7). So 11 am/noon over there is 5 am/6 am for me :eek:

Right now is 12:26 pm for me
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Fredz:
11 pm. It's too late for me. 4 pm seems to be better. For you Joel it's 10 am is it right ? Is it good for you two ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Sopis:
joe..I meant 11PM or 12AM....that should be 5/6PM your time...correct?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joplayer:
Great, this project looks very promising,

I could help if you want(got some c# knowledge)

Good luck!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bobstare:
it's my first post,, and i am a real noob. i cant login eventhough i'm using the external web.. when it shows the "allow / dont allow" screen, the browser just went back to the login page. i dont know why. can anyone help me? thanks

RE: 4.0.1b

nice work man!!

I'm liking some of the GUI improvements... the login screen, of course, being the first most obvious change. Keep rockin' it out!

I did notice a couple of things that I hope will help you:

- I'm sure you know, but the notifications "READ" button goes to friend's Profile Info instead of the post on my wall.

- After leaving the app open for a few hours... it did have a drop-down red bar for new notifications but only the home screen would display. The rest would say loading and not load. Also, the app would not exit.

- I don't think you had mentioned adding landscape support but after screen rotate on my Touch Pro 2 here is what I was looking at:

Thanks again for all the hard work.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for all the replies! and I hope everyone had a great weekend :)

I've been told this from a number of people. I will look into why there is a long load time and hopefully figure out a way to display things faster.

As for the cache, I'm not caching anything but pictures at the moment. Try it and see if it works now :)

As for the inbox, yes. I haven't finished the inbox compose screen and forgot to put a "Coming Soon" logo. Next release it will be done

I've noticed the exit button not working. I'll look into why and get that fixed

Yes, this will be one of the first features I'll add for the next version.

The error message has given me some hints as to where I need to look to fix this. I'll take a look and try and patch that.

The Spashscreen then startscreen then application is a result of having to clear the screen so that the top bar can be shown. I'll see if I can speed up the delay so it isn't as noticable, but for the time being, that's just how it's going to have to be.

I'll look into the first one, but the second one would be way too processor intensive... I wish I could do that, but alas the mobile environment wasn't made to do it.

Keep trying to log in with your external browser. Try switching to Opera as well. This is actually a Facebook problem and not something I can fix. :(

Th read button needs to be changed to "Mark As Read". And notifications that would link to parts of the program that are "Coming Soon" (eg. photos, links, etc) will go to the person's profile. Comments will go to the comments.

And I will look at landscape :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] sapiora:
One thing took my attention for now and it is when I click the button "like (2)" it doesn't show me who are those 2 people that liked my post but gives me the option I to "like" the post. I hope that you understand me.

Thank you very much for your great application.

I'm going to add the first 10 (friends first) people that have liked something (and if clicked on, it will show all of them if there are more than 10) right bellow the comment. Clicking on the like button will like it for you.

Hmmm... It might be because of the size of the string (image path) or the image is too big. I will try and reproduce this problem and sort it out. Thanks for the report!

Sweet! PM me when you are done :) Also, if you want to add conceptual ideas, feel free as well!

Looks good!

Which version of the app are you using? Have you upgraded to 4.0.1? How far into the app do you get? Do you see the splash screen?

Thanks! I'll try and track it down!

Load times and memory usage

Ok, I've gone through most of the code and have tried to dispose of all data as soon as possible. I'm pretty sure that I've gotten some of the problems fixed, and I hope to get the rest nailed down.

I need some volunteers that are technical enough to know how much RAM is free before, during, and after running XDAFB. I've been profiling XDAFB and I think I got all the data disposed before the app fully closes. I also think I got the Load times back to where they were in previous versions.

If you know how to monitor RAM (either via Task Manager or external applications. Preferably people that know how to use PerfMon or any of the Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework 3.5) please send me a PM and I will send you the latest Alpha build and more instructions on how you can help the project.

If you want to help and don't know how to use PerfMon or any extern tools, basic before, during, and after RAM totals will do (as well as thoughts and feelings) Just send me a PM!

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Corwin9S:
Sir, Yes Sir !

just PM me for technical details you may need to have (and how you want to have it)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] angusc:
Hi Joe!!

Just a suggestion....could you include the current released version in the Thread Title and then update the version on subsequent uploads? this would help people know when an updated version has been released.

great app....just sorry that while I'm at home in China I can not log in to Facebook due to being blocked!! :-(

Error Log

Tried to return to home from feeds. Showed home than the error (attached). Processor went high around 90%. And had to remove the battery and reboot because the phone freezed. (HD2 stock rom WEE 3.14 latest beta 4 xdafacebook.)

Also I noticed when you click on a friend you get to the info page. Wouldn't it be better if we got carried to the wall directly.

Ass for the Ram I haven't really checked it because I haven't had any problems so far. The picture renderings seem to take a bit too long(like in the official app).

Keep up the good work, very promising app :)

Here is the error text file from the Memory Managed Version on your google codepage:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Alright, as for an update: I've managed to track down and fix the ObjectDisposedException errors that have been reported.

I've also been focusing on using less memory/processor. The thing about the processor hitting +90% in some instances is because the app does a lot of communication with Facebook, meaning not only is the app running, but GPRS/Wifi/HSPA signals are being processed. This is normal for a lot of applications (like Opera for instance hits +90% of CPU constantly when trying to scroll while download)

I am working on getting the app as efficient at possible, and just today I was able to reduce 7-10% of the work in scrolling a list :) It's still far from perfect, but a lot of things are now more efficient.

I feel like I've made enough improvement on the memory management side of things to put it on the backburner and start working on features. I'm still looking for more people that are having issues with memory to try out the improvements and give me direct feedback. If you are having memory issues, PM me and I'll give you some instructions for using the Memory Managed alpha release.

I think I'm going to make that a settings option. What part of the profile to see first :) Just make sure I don't forget!

Please read [GUIDE] How to give constructive feedback to developers under The Crash Screen for instructions on how to view the real exception message. Do that and the send me the full report :)

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thanks :) I think I got a fix for it.

Swedish translation update!

Swedish translation update!

Had a problem trying the URL copy thing, how does it work?

And how can we translate the main menu's icon text?

Or must someone make a (in my case) Swedish iconset?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for the report :)

I think I should have all of those errors sorted out.

The next version will allow for images/ albums. I actually finished most of the album work last night! Pretty exciting :) I just need to figure out how to display the images....

I hope to have the next version (4.1) done by this weekend.

Thank you! I'm going to try and get as much done as far as GUI elements for the next couple of releases, so that there isn't a constant need for translation updates :D The next release will have a few but by ~4.5 I want to have 90% of the phrases done. But then again, who knows?!

"URL Copy thing" Are you talking about the button in the External Web Login? You need to copy the URL of the Success Browser page to the clipboard, and then the button will check the clipboard for a URL string and try and log you in with that. Make sure you copy the WHOLE URL when you want to use this :) If you are having problems, try Internal web or just the Internal login

And finally, yes. The front Icons are pictures. I'm planning a KILLER skinning section which should allow for more skins to be produced faster :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Question about layout

Ok, I need some input about layout. I just finished the Photos tab in the profile panel, and then I was thinking about the Photos Panel on the main screen. It seems like a waste to have the same thing in two places, so I was wondering if I should replace the Photos Panel (from the home screen) with something else? Like places?

Thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bratboo:
What does places do? For me you could replace it since you can view photo in Profile if I'm not mistaken! :D Many thanks for this app!

BTW! When will the fbIM will be implemented? much better to have in the same app than switching apps. :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
PLACES WOULD BE EXCELLENT!!! cheers!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Watahboi:
Dont see the point on having photos on the home screen ;) So places would be AWESOME!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ToddeSwe:
Maybe a default frontpage without any text and icons that are not to be misstaken.... i know G-Alarm has it that way and i works like a charm.

One small question, are you going to put in places in a near future? :)
