Alright, multiquote isn't working so I'm going to have to do it oldschool.

@jackyaway: Thanks! I got the image fixed. It's just a simple renaming. I'll check out the crash logs and get those fixed too.

@flommaster: Thank you for pointing that out! It shouldnt' be a tough fix. As for the suggestions, yes all of those will happen. Hopefully soon!

@hungelt8: Yes, there were a few little GUI things I need to fix. Also, I'm noticing that the Post image isn't showing up. It should! I'll work on those and try and get the GUI pieces fixed. Thanks again for the skin!

@Phhere: Thank you for the logs and the suggestions! I really appreciate the code review. As for just being a web developer, professionally that's what I am. MVC .net is where I'd rather be :) That new Razor rendering system is SWEET! Anyways, if you find anything that might be wrong, let me know and I'll change it. I'll go through and add a new member var to implement your suggestion.

Also, check in the home directory under the Debug.xml file. There should be some info on why the Async isn't connecting. If it is "The server actively refused the connection" or something like that, make sure that your connection proxy allows for traffic to be redirected.

@m0nkeyman: Thanks, I'll check it out

@Avalon-99: Yeah, that's also a new feature. I implemented that right after I released 4.6.1, so I forgot about it. I'll look at those things. I think I know what's up!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hungelt8:
I can now feel the data transferring speed is greatly improved. Comments could finish downloading in about 1 second with EDGE connection! That's unbelievable. (hope that isn't an illusion:p)

:D few suggestions on the UI, hope that I am not annoyying you:rolleyes::

1. Profile pictures and album thumbnails on news feed screen should be bigger as most of us don't have a large screen device like HD2. It's a bit hard to notice what the thumbnails are. I think the size of thumbnail in MS facebook is most suitable for small screen device like Omnia II and even Diamond II. That would be great to adding a setting to adjust the size of thumbnails.:confused::)

2. That would also be wonderful to add a setting to change the refreshing method. (pulling down or button to refresh page) However there is a little problem that if I go down the very bottom of the new feed page, I have to scroll back to the top without end in order to refresh. I think that's good to follow the example of MS Facebook that adding refresh button on menu or soft key bar.

3. Is it possible to have a button to see older posts on someone's home, like the news feed screen?

4. It is better to "decrease" :confused:font size of status on someone's profile in order to see more texts.

eg: (before)

I am so happy!

after

I am so happy!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] hungelt8:
there is a problem:

the app cannot show up all the comments if there are many comments..

eg:

someone's status has 160

it only shows up about 20 comments..

Is it an API problem or something on my side?

Edit again:

It seems the problem has something to do with Friend's photos. It never loads them and i get exceptions all the time.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Same problem here statthis. I'm gonna have to go to the old beta cos whatever has happened has made xda Facebook unusable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Phew, final's week is over, so I can start breathing again!

I did a little work yesterday and got some of the posted bugs fixed. Hopefully next week I'll be able to post an updated version!

Stay tuned!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Nice to hear joe. Can't wait.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
hello,

i would like to explain a little problem: :rolleyes:

two of my friends are not listed in the friends list, yes every friend is there, even the newer ones, which are added after the two "problem-friends" ..... the confused point is that the have the same last name and yes EVERY other friend is listed. In the original-FB-Software i can see them ...... i am also not able to see their wall ..... in the other fb software i can .... when they replay a comment i see anonymous user , no avatar, only the comment .............. can somebody helps me ??????? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

i have no idea and i am not able to find the mistake oder an explaination ........:eek:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tzaq93:
is this still beeing developed? :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TouchyDiamond:
It sure is, and we all should thank Joe for keeping it up. Facebook doesn't seem to make it easy for him. ;)

The latest version also started crashing for me, obviously because something was changed by FB. I also see zero likes on every post now. Went back to previous version and it doesn't crash. :)

I sometimes wonder why they keep changing things all the time, since the website view doesn't really change. It's all under the hood. If FB sold a commercial client they want push, I'd understand the strategy, but since they don't... :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] tzaq93:
Great ! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] njord74:
Picture not showing on friends or myself

Hi.

I just installed this today,have the lates version and tried spaces.Worked nice.

BUT when i tap my profile,i dont see my pic...And when i go to friends i get the list of names,but no pic there either.

Only showing a small pic of a camera on every friend.

Somethin i missed here?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Same here mate just gone back to the old beta. You haven't missed anything its probably Facebook mucking about again. Not to worry cos Joe said he gonna do us a version this week so I'm sure he will fix this. :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
What makes you say this is still being developed? It hasn't been updated in close to two month, except for the skins.

This app is dead.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zalaros:
Take a look few posts back (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13118693&postcount=629), think first and then post ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
+1

he is working hard enough ..... so take your time and enjoy the "dead" app, which is the best app for fb under wm6.x .................

so etwas von hirnlos *g*
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
I'll beleive there's an update coming when I see it. The app went from being updated every few days, to nothing for almost two months.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
That's fair enough, but sometimes devs are just busy for a while. Releases take a lot of time to support, it doesn't always mean development has stopped.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
That's cos Joe has been busy (as he has told us on here) with his life and has not had the time to work on this free app.But will work on it as and when he has time. Which I think is fair enough.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
umm.. let me sincerely apologise on behalf of joe for not spending his (unpaid) time developing this app for the community...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
No need to be a tool. And no need to "apologize" on behalf of anyone. I'm just setting some realistic expectations. There are people in here posting bug reports and hoping for updates, when the odds aren't in their favor that anything is going to get fixed for a while, if at all based on the recent track record.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] onebyside:
lol....yes take your own advice, no need to be a tool...Joe has a life, none of us are in a rush for something that is being done for free. Joe's recent track record has been the development of the app...exactly. We have all been "realistic" here....submitting bug reports and when Joe has time he pop's in with an update. Some of us donated and still plod along with our lives as Joe does and we enjoy what he can do for us on his own timetable.

no rush Joe
[Windows Mobile Software Development] grymcent:
i am really looking forward to groups bieng accessable. most of my communication is via a groups.

i like the tile systekm too, plenty of future scope. keep up the good work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] zalaros:
BigWopHH take a look here please http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-facebook/downloads/list as you can see there has been made a lot of development but the project is still in beta ;) Got it now? This link is taken from the first post ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
That link is why I'm not expecting anything to happen for a while. The app was being updated every few days for a very long time. It has been since Mar. 8 since the last program update this time around though...going on two months now...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
You guys really shouldn't fall for this user's troll bait. The user has been explained the situation several times. It is unlikely that anyone will reverse this way of thinking. Posts such as these are better left ignored.

@BigWopHH: If trolling was not your intention, then you should think about improving your wording in the future. Several members have tried to explain to you that devs have lives outside of XDA. If you read the thread back a ways, you'll see the reasons why this project was put on temporary hold.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] byonut:
wow superrr
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hi BigWopHH :)

Just so you know, there has been A LOT of updates. And while I haven't made an official release in a while, I have been working on it.

The current problem is that the graphics are REALLY slow. I've been working on trying to optimize graphic rendering and threading mainly. I've even gone to the point of creating and reading PNGs in app w/o the use of the Imaging APIs.

What that means is that I actually wrote a PNG decoder for Windows Mobile and worked with the images in memory. Unfortunately, I hit the memory limit too frequently doing this, so I had to scrap the whole thing

As for threading, I was manually doing all of the threading with logic, but it was causing the ThreadTimerExceptions when I tried to close down the the threads manually. This caused me to gut the whole threading system and implement another solution. This also caused a lot of re-writing.

So, there has been a lot of work done on the App.

What I want to do before I release another version is get the stutters out of the image drawing. I don't think this is going to happen thou, so I will get it to working conditions and then just have to be happy with that.

On the personal side, I am a web developer by profession. Most of my experience is with handling data (manipulation, processing, mining, etc) I've never been trained on graphics and I have little experience with Mobile development.

If you have any skills with Programming, I would love to have you on the team to help me get the application up. With your help I am sure that I can get releases out MUCH more frequently!

So, what do you say? You want to help with development? My email is joe.coolish@gmail.com, I look forward to your help
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
I have minimal experience with anything but HTML and the ancient programming languages I was forced to use through college, but I am skilled with graphic design and image optimizations, and was a long time QA manager dealing mostly with interface design and platform compatibility testing.

Unfortunately, with the exception of some graphic optimizations, which may slightly reduce the total memory footprint of the app, I would probably be of little help. Can't do platform testing when I only have one device to test on.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
I don't understand why everyone got their panties in such a twist in the first place. All I did was point out that the odds of an update are unlikely based on the current / recent track record of updates, and some Joe_Coolish nuthuggers got all butt-hurt.

I didn't put down the app--even in its unfinished state its worlds better than the official MS FB app.

I didn't put down Joe--only pointed out that there have been no updates, while a number of members were still posting bug reports.

Joe doesn't seem to be too concerned with my posts, and posted and intelligent and respectful post in return.

CFB, A.K.A. the holier-than-thou XDA Zookeeper that must warn about troll-feeding, perhaps you should improve your attitude. If you beleive it requires explanation that XDA devs doing work on apps that they're giving away for free have lives outside of XDA, you come across very elitist and ignorant.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
yes, joe_coolish sent an intelligent and respectful reply... but have you re-read your original post and the subsequent ones when ppl try to explain to you to maybe read back a few pages?? hardly intelligent or respectful IMO.

and how does your post help the developer? was it a bug report, was it suggestions to improve the app? what was your point?

i mean, calling fellow community members disrespectful names, only leads me to think how childish you could be - show some respect to get some respect.

we respect the developer's time and efforts, hence we would wait patiently until they have time to work on the app and release the next version.

perhaps thinking before you post will benefit you and give u a few less enemies.

anyways you are who you are and if you're happy continuing as is and see no problem at all then so be it. im done educating people like you, as they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BigWopHH:
Seriously? I made three posts before today. One where I said the app was "dead", another stating why because I was challenged, and another responding to another poster who wrote a post dripping with sarcasm. I'm then called a troll and am just supposed to accept it? Sorry.

Joe asked for help with development so I told him what I could and couldn't help with. And then I responded to the namecaller the same way he responded to me. Calling someone a troll is OK, but using another, completely made-up name isn't?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
Hi Joe
