Yeah if it did, but it DOES NOT log out. Thats what I mean, the log out behaviour is buggy. If I click log out or uncheck push, it still remains logged in, even if I exit the app. There is no way to sign me out the methods you describe do not work here...

I mean there should be a bug or something. I had people chat with me while I was not there, thats when I began to notice I was signed on constantly (with the stuff unchecked, since push does not work anymore for me and pressed the logout button as well). And push was for sure off since I did not receive any toasts or tile count.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lorenzo.themax92:
Good improvements to the ui, but i suggest this things:

1) redesign the login UI because is too minimal.

2) good metro message style on chat , but i suggest to put the image of the people (me) that send a chat message to other people, on left. Instead, the image of the people that send to me a chat message ,on right
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
I agree, or maybe put the picture on the top only... just once. I know my own picture and I know who im talking to. :) the style of the messages is really nice in the message hub, making the pictures optional in the chats will be a nice touch.

same issue here with fim 2.4
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
I just want it to send me push notifications -.- it's my only app where I have push on and it isn't notifying me...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Maaz:
Fim 2.4

The login problem I was having with Samsung Focus, NoDo, and AT&T is now fixed with 2.4. Thanks!

One thing I noticed was in 3 of groups, it didn't show any contacts initially although they showed on the regular Facebook page on my computer. I messaged one of them from my computer and then FIM picked it up too and showed me the IM and then suddenly all my missing contacts were there.

It may have nothing to do with FIM; Facebook chat is pretty buggy to begin with, but just thought I'd mention that it happened. In any case, thanks again for fixing the login problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
I fixed several things, it should be better now.

sometime takes little more time till your friends see you offline.

also make sure you are not connected from your desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
Any suggestions for me concerning my push notifications? Like I said, I don't have the error, all my other apps can use push such as Rowi and weatherbug, it seems to connect and work on my end properly. If I check my connection through another user, I'm online, my device just doesn't receive the notifications. Any way you can check on your end to see if they're being sent? Other than that, great app, love the chat style.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DioNNiS:
Push notification feature dusn't work for me... =(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] GrahamWager:
blutz, would you consider an ad-free xap for donators? I'd happily send a donation as you definately deserve it, and having adverts which seem to be mostly for ... shall we say, "adult services" are really bugging me!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
I'm working to prevent adult ads from appearing in the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Brav0:
Excellent app! Would it be possible to have a Paid for version without ads? I really hate ads. :D For 0.99€ or so, it would make it much easier to "donate"!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
push works for fim. Try again now. Otherwise reinstall if this does not solve it look for the reg keys to delete
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
I've set the application to world wide distribution, might be a bug or a delay from Microsoft.. same problem is reported here: http://forums.create.msdn.com/forums/p/66875/409869.aspx

I've just downloaded this APP for my HTC Mozart.

It works nicely, however when I click on a name a new "tab" opens, which can't be closed!

Furthermore it would be really nice if this app could run in the background, it closes when i press the back button.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
can wp7 apps run in the background? don't think so
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] fesar:
Does this really work with 3G internet

Hi,

The FIM chat works fine with my WIFI. But not with my mobile data connection. I am able to connect to facebook, twitter and IE but FIM says "No Internet Access, Please Try Again" Why is it so

Francis
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Prinzessin Horst:
First Test is promising.

Well done.

Some whishes:

Autocorrection of keyboard should be activated together with the smilies :-)

Option to close open conversations (was written earlier)

If a new message comes in the software should autoscroll.

Would be nice to know if the shown contacts are active or sleep ;-)

Running in background...

I believe you could run the program under the lock screen which is nice. The live messenger program supports this. Also the live messenger program was updated to support toast notifications which means people can message you when you are in other programs so when you tap on that it takes you right back to the conversation. If you could add those capabilities, you would have a great program. I like what I see so far, it's quick and gets the basic job done.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DeekoVB5:
Yea, at this point, having an auto-sign in if you were already signed in when it deactivated is the best you can do...unless you wanted to get fancy with push notifications and toast...but I'm not really familiar with Facebook's APIs to comment further there, plus it would require a back end server.

Is running behind a locked screen an option? I've glanced at the new requirements - I believe it needs to shut down any timers and maintain a certain level of battery life, but assuming you don't violate that, it may be an option.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ameel:
Yes please, background running if possible at all, I'm pretty sure I read that can be requested from Microsoft (no idea about the specifics), and push notifications or something similar when someone messages would be great addon for this already amazing software!

Thanks for your good work blutz! Hope to seeing more updates soon :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
updated v1.1 is now on marketplace

added this features:

* online/away indicators

* ability to close chat windows

* chat history

* auto sign in when resuming (?)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] yosagojimbo:
Hi,

I've installed this a few time on my hd7, yet whenever i try to run it, I just get the Title saying Fim at the top and nothing else happens.

I've tried rebooting phone after install etc, but still no joy

any ideas?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
what version?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Reziukas:
Auto sign-in only works if you lock the phone with the app open. If you leave the app and then return, you need to sign in manually.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] yosagojimbo:
it's version 1.1.0.0
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
arghhh :confused: 1.1 right?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Reziukas:
Yup, 1.1 Tried playing around with it and definitely only works on lock-unlock without exiting the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] fesar:
Even with 1.1, my FIM doesn't work with my Cellular Data connection. But it works with WIFI. Why is this like this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] at45:
I like this app. It's very good. But unfortunately the conversation view doesn't keep up with new messages as they arrive, so you have to scroll down to see what's been said. That's how it is on mine 80% of the time. Not sure why.

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] batista70:
Good App :)

My compliments

No problem with Cellular Data Connection

Auto-Sign doesn't work
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
so, no one noticed sound effect is gone in the latest versions?

*OOPS*
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
yes i forgot to report it :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
I noticed something else which is quite odd.

I used to have the xda-app but not anymore. And now everytime I receive a new pm from xda I get a FIM TOAST!! Can you believe this, haha I think there is something messed up by WP7 screwing up when deleting apps with push.

Every time I get this toast, the counter goes up, and it does not go back to zero. Im logged of with FIM and also the tile does not show an image, just blank with a counter and with fim on it.

Very strange, anybody else noticed an issue like this? With other apps maybe?

Is this because you both use a stock name for the notification channel name or something? Its really really strange haha.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
BIZZARE :eek:

the channel name for my app is fim, but i don't think it has something to do with that..

are you side loading or using the marketplace version?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
first sideloading, then removed and reinstalled trough marketplace. Xda app was sideloaded since i cant buy it in my country.

Haha yeah i cant make a pic unfortunately. But a restart solves nothing :& dont feel like resetting haha. But it worked with chats from fim as well :) really strange issue. I think I did not sign off in the xda app and then fim took over the push position of xda and the xda server still pushes stuff to the same link.

It says FIM blabla send you a new PM haha
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
Fim updated to version 2.5 and now available at the Marketplace.

new message sound notification is working again.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] GrahamWager:
Updated, thanks blutz :)

Any thoughts on my previous suggestions - still being able to see the signal/battery/time, and some indicator that who you're talking to is actually still online?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] TheKrigla:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
Still the only app that won't give me a single tile or toast notification... Is there anyway you can reset me on your end so I can set it up again to see if it fixes it?

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
the problem connection always on after we log out of FIM, did the V2.5 fix it?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
there is no known problem with this.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lorenzo.themax92:
A problem from version 2.4 : when i click to close conversation, or just tap the X to a conversation, FIM close the comversation , but when i reopen , the conversation reopen, and from the pc, the conversation in the chat is still open. So, fim not close really the conversation, i think that not comunicate to facebook server chat to close the window. In previous version this works. Solution?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
A factory reset is for all push notifications getting constipated though, I don't have that issue. I'm actually getting push from every app except this one, so I'm guessing something may be wrong server side with my account. Is there anyway you can check to see whether or not it's even pushing notifications to me?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
just found out that over 1000 messages are being pushed from my server per minute.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] yeahtyeaht:
is that high or low? :D

thanks... it's a good idea
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eric12341:
doing a hard reset just to get something as simple as push and tile notifications working is totally unnecessary. especially since its a MPITA restoring everything. even the huge POS flory IM (whenever it connects and doesn't crash) has these working. miyowa live messenger also has flawless push and tile notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] giammo:
what you suggest to solve the live tile /notification problem, excluding hardreset ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eric12341:
I don't have a definite solution to it but I have an interim: login to FIM then login to the full Facebook site in IE (chat works) that will keep one logged in then when u see the new message in the tab view u can goto FIM to answer it. or use POS flory for the notifications and goto FIM to answer. I prefer this one over the POS flory because it connects fast and doesn't crash. but with notifications not working it kinda defeats the purpose.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
If your device is dev unlocked you can delete the end points, and it should work again. However for some of us push is utterly useless if the carrier has aggresive timeouts, wp7 will than fail to reconnect.

In this case its probably a problem with wp7's third party push and not just fim. If other apps work fine, just try to uninstall fim and delete all endpoints, now reinstall.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] giammo:
I think there's no solution for me... i deleted all endpoints subkeys, reinstalled apps, reactivated live tiles but nothing seems to work... also other apps with tiles don't update..

p.s. mango and its multitask will definitely solve this kind of problems ?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
I keep saying it, all Endpoints deleted, every other app working with push and tile, and FIM has yet to send me a single notification...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
did you ever got a request to approve FIM as a facebook app?

also from IE on your phone go to http://app.mosko.mobi , let me know what you get
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] FiyaFleye:
Yep, I did lol. I love the app, I think I was one of the first to use it... Just wish the Push worked...

The website tells me "Success"
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
then i'm clueless, as the notifications works for the vast majority of users.

my best guess is that the app never gets the push channel uri on your phone, but i really don't know why. :confused:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
it's facebook issue?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
hopefully yes, ms is aware with the problems occuring on european carriers.

What is your carrier? I heard Tre in Italy has some trouble with push.

This is a flaw in the OS and not in the fim app. So for us to get push working we wil just have to wait and see what mango brings.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] giammo:
my carrier is Vodafone
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
dont know about vodafone. You should try and ask at developer.windowsphone.com forums than go to push notifications and look for a topic regarding problems ask if more vodafone italy users have the same problem. Vodafone in NL does not have problems however Tmobile does :(
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eric12341:
highly doubt its a flaw in the OS as push works flawlessly in the miyowa live messenger , flory IM (when it connects and doesn't crash) and this weatherbug app I have installed. so this is the only app in which they do not work.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
interesting to people who Have live tiles problem http://mobilitydigest.com/hey-microsoft-whats-up-with-those-live-tiles/

Several bugs were fixed on Fim's push notifications server, for those of you who had problems with the notifications, reinstall the app from the marketplace.

Good new version. I suggest to don't show the settings on the login, because the settings must be only in settings view :D

Another aspect, i suggest to implements this function: if a contact send me a message, move the contact in the contact list to the top.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] eric12341:
nope they still don't work. u guys had a perfect app on WM, i don't know y yall can't get it right on wp7. i have a feeling that by the time u guys get it right mango will be out and then we won't have to rely on apps like this.

I'm curious about data binding on Pivot page and pivot items in FIM client.

How author solve problem in automic adding/removing pivot items on contacts Listbox items in first pivot item?

But it's still slow:rolleyes:

what do you expect in a new version?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
what exactly is slow? maybe it can be improved..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Marvin_S:
Like I said... the whole push system is unreliable on wp7. Dont blame the dev for it, blame microsoft. The push system has been rushed out, thats why its half assed in these versions of wp and has been totally revamped in Mango. It has been tested all over the world (finally) and they made server changes as well as changes in the OS.

His push service works as good as it can work. Too bad it does not work for you, its not his fault, he is doing the best he can. Its your phone having a problem getting the notifications for whatever reason, maybe your registry is cluttered, maybe it fails to open channels, 15 app limit (or some "ghost" channels) who knows...

There is an interview on channel 9 with this push notifications guy, he explains why this stuff happend and what they did to fix issues like yours on mango. If its only one app, then its probably an issue in your registry. So far the only (unacceptable) ways to fix this are A) hard-reset B) clearing the registry endpoints and reinstall the app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mikeeam:
I agree with you, Marvin. Push notifications from WP7 is a crap, and for god sake it's gonna be way better in Mango. But I receive push from Flory, from Jabber Talk, and don't receive from FIM, unfortunately.

Still, it's a great app. Congratz, dev. The slow opening is because saving history.

Something that I hate: When I need to touch and hold to select in the middle of a word, it gives me the chat options (e.g. Close).

It sucks. But overall, the app is great!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
will be fixed..

it's pretty cool man,it works well now & the settings is more understandable :)

push & tiles works well for me

ps: except sometimes the program do not loggin me automatically when i exit to the app & re-open it (without logoff)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] lorenzo.themax92:
bug : when i press the X to close conversation, it reappears in pc and when i close and reopen fim.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
not a bug, X on fim close the window on the app, if you want to close it permanently like in facebook desktop site use the "close window" option on the context menu (tap & hold)

Push

I installed the new version, i received a push notification once from a contact, after that no push. I then recevied push once from another contact, after that no push.

So push worked ounce per contact then not at all after that.

:(

Right now i have im+ installed to receive push, because i receive them instantly and perfectly. and check msges in fim.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] matthewhypolite:
Notifications work in all but fim.

I've cleared all my notification registry keys, and re-installed 5 push apps for testing.

Tiger Text

Messenger by Miyoa

IM+

Tile Notes

FIM.

Im sorry to report that all are working fine with instant push notifications, except FIM. I like fim the most out of the others, but without push it's unuseable.

Seeing that every other program works with push i dont think its my phone, or MS or any of that.

mosko.mobi please fix fim push notifications.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
The difference between Fim in those apps, is that by far, Fim have much more users, causing the app's push server to suffer from critical overloads, added to the fact that facebook's XMPP service is not always stable (known fact to android & iPhone owners using the official facebook apps) sums to sometimes squeaky service to some users, but still serves over million notifications a day, and being constantly improved.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
Fim v2.7

new version is now available at the Marketplace, brings improvements to login, speed, ui & push notifications
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] matthewhypolite:
ill test out the new version, and i understand the bit about the server load becuase of the # of users, but just to let u know, facebook chat via im+ push notifications for the most part works all the time. i've seen the ocasional delay, but for the most part, instant fb notifications from im+.

You guys have the best client, once push is a bit more reliable.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] matthewhypolite:
Happy to report that as of 2.7 push notifications seem to be working wonderfully.

THANKS!!!!!!!!!! I can survive now till mango :)

I've also tested FIM with resumeable xap hack, works as expected, but because the app is not properly re-launched everytime, it seems something goes wrong with the fb sign process and breaks push. So if using resumeable hack, u need to properly exit the app to maintain working push. Currently running stock app becuase of this, its fast enough as is, not worth the extra hassel.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] blutz:
will have a look at this..
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
how many times after i turn off toast & tiles notification,the push stop work?

because when i activate them and turn off then,it keeps me login in for my friends and i receive message by push still during few hours or all day long...
