Hi Joe,

I really love the application but unfortunately version 4.6 and 4.6.1 cannot work on my phone.

1. I'm using a SE Xperia X1 running on Spikegotti's Xperileo2 6.5.3 rom.

2. Here's what happened,

a) I installed the application on my storage card

b) I ran the application by hitting the shortcut icon under the start menu;

c) Then the blue xda facebook wallpaper appear

d) After the wallpaper, it goes back to my homescreen.

e) I checked with the task manager and the application was not running.

3. Here's the error log,

System.Xml.XmlException

I'm always curious if that error would appear on the stock rom of any phone....can't help but suspect a custom rom when it appears.

I run a custom rom on my hd2, but have never seen that error.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
using 4.6.1 working really well atm...

thanks so much!

however, still a lot of pages with black text on black background...

would you like me to search and post those pages here again?

thanks

I just got done watching an episode of House (it's a medical drama if you've never heard of it) so I feel like giving a really complicated prognosis for this bug... Unfortunately (for me), I can't :D

There are some XML files in the XDAFacebook root directory that have become corrupted. Delete them and restart the app, and that should fix it. If not, PM me and I'll get more details on the error.

Blah, I think I know what's up. I've been trying to make global background colors... but basing them off the system preferences!!!! Meaning, if you have a black themed ROM, the default will be black.

I need to sacrifice a little Generics for Control. I wish I would have figured this out several releases ago! :) I'll whip out a special version and PM you with a link. Hopefully that will get things fixed once and for all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] DuttBeefe:
lil probs.

I can help test this as well if u want..

Also the kinetics needs some work i think its like lag or something.

If i scroll slowly its perfectly 1:1 with no lag.

But fast i get lag for like a second and it then catches up with my finger. still 1:1 as well.

Now when i try to flick the page to get it to scroll fast it sometimes works and sometimes dont. also i cant really make it scroll slowly like in other apps..

eg. my default file browser..

Hope u understand what i mean..

I don't know, but i think the fetching of data takes much longer than in the official windows mobile app. maybe there are different api server. I know that there is api.facebook.com and api-read.facebook.com.

Maybe there is a different. You could try to fetch data from api-read.facebook and push data to api.facebook

but i really like the app :)

Scrolling in 4.6.1 is much better than 4.6 ;) 4.6.1 is working great on my Hd Mini. All the previous versions crashed with errors randomly. 4.6.1 is stable and hasn't crashed not even once so far :D Great piece of work ;)

Hi, I've been trying to try this app since version 4.1 until now 4.6 but never able to even login to facebook.

the new version 4.6 gives me error. The error is "There was an unknown error"

please let me know what's wrong with it.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MCoolU:
how did you delete the registry entries? I've uninstalled the application and removed the directory also, then reinstalled and I still get errors and can't use it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] deedee:
Either use Total Commander on your device or CERegEditor from your PC.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
The images are already cached to your phone, so saving won't be too hard to implement.

How are you trying to log in? I recommend using the external login method.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Ok, I need someone who gets the black panel icons to test this and see if it works in making everything white.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
testing now....

ok so i still get the black panels showing on some pages, specifically in the following:

places>checkin>after you select on a place>pretty much cant see anything... e.g. add friends, checkin, plus the friend list when you want to tag friends is the black panel

albums>'create new album' text

search page>'perform search' text

that's all i could find for now...

thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] MCoolU:
what am i supposed to delete from the registry?

Thanks so much for the app, still has a few problems but its a hell of a lot better than the stock app, I would not mind paying for it once it is finished.

I would like to suggest having small thumbnail images in the upload photo application, and the functionality to upload directly from the camera application on the HD2 phone.

Thanks so much for your hard work!

[Windows Mobile Software Development] DuttBeefe:
Suggestions.

joe_coolish:

Some suggestions..

*In the main Menu can we have a minimize option..

*In Settings can we have options for notification sounds or vibrate or phone setting..

and if needed u could ask the guy who does Fim if u need help with chat..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
1 and 3 are in the works. I've wanted to do both of them for a while, it's just taking a bit to get around to it.

I actually don't store anything in the registry. I'm not a big fan of the registry because it isn't as transparent to the user as a config file. I know what the purpose behind the registry was, but I don't personally agree with its necessity. So I don't use it.

Adding places is unsupported by 3rd party FB apps. Only 1st party apps and the touch.facebook.com website can create places. Since the MS version doesn't support checkins, touch.facebook.com is the only option.

Thumbnails in the file browser? I've played with this and (in the past) it slowed the app down to a crawl. I have completely redone the graphics system, maybe it's better now? I'll try it out and see how it works :)

Yes, I can add the minimize option. As for notifications, I've been looking into it a little. I think it will be something that I will be adding in the next couple versions.

As for Fim, I PM'd him months ago and never heard a word. BUT that's ok.

The biggest problem with Chat for me is that you have to connect to chat.facebook.com on port 5222. I mainly program XDAFB at school or on my lunchbreak at work. Both places block port 5222 so I'm SOL.

I have been working with XMPP the past couple of nights and I have (almost) successfully connected with the chat server :) So it is coming, but only in the rare freetime I get at home!

hi all! so here is a personal update: I just had a pretty successful interview with Microsoft! Hopefully they offer a position :)

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Rix-vts:
this is great!!! :D

go joe gooo!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jontp2:
Nice one Joe, congrats.

Just one thing....what ever they offer....no matter what.....

Don't let XDAFacebook out of your hands, I just couldn't bear it if it got Microsoft'd or should that be microshafted hee hee.

Really looking forward to the next update, the latest version is running rock solid on my TP2 only had 1 crash & then I was severely provoking the poor thing.

If I may make a suggestion or 2 it would be good to see profile pics on a friends short cut instead of the default image & a phone book function would save a lot of time, being able to call someone direct from XDAFB would be fantastic.

Oh & groups of course but then we know your already working on that.

Cheers Joe & keep up the great work.

Just a heads up:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=648906

eboelzner posted an upgraded version of his Sense Interface SDK (v. 1.50)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thanks!

Yes, both of those functions are on the list. I just have too many other things ahead of them at the moment. Hopefully after I have Chat done I'll be able to do these kinds of improvements

As for giving up XDAFB, don't worry :) If anything, I'll have access to more resources about the inner workings of WinMo. This project will always remain open source, so MS won't want it.

I must say though, I was thoroughly impressed with Microsoft as far as the interview went. They are very professional and they really take care of their own. I was also reading about CheveronWP7 and how he had very similar experiences when Microsoft invited him to Redmond to talk about opening up WP7. It really shows one of the biggest strengths of the company (IMHO), they really support their developers!

I mean, look at Apple. They do everything to tax their developers. They give them terrible tools to develop on (Lets be honest, XCode is not the first IDE people talk about on their resume), they unfairly limit their available APIs, they hunt and destroy loopholes that allow for more functionality, and then they take 40% of the devs profit! Google is better in most of these areas, but in some sense they seem to not care about what happens to the developers. You don't hear anything (good or bad) about Google and the people that root android or make non-market apps.

Microsoft on the other hand, invited the team that allowed for side-loading apps on WP7 to their HQ, listened to their ideas, and came up with a solution that worked for both parties. I really REALLY found that honorable, the way that they treated their devs.

Ok, off my soap box :D

This is a known issue that I have a solution for. The next update will have this fixed

Nice! I really hope that ebo has a solution for the OOMEs! I also wish his SDK was open source :p

New FB Messaging Platform

I'm having a problem with the Inbox and messaging portion of the app.

Earlier this week, FB "upgraded" my profile to use their new messaging platform. It's not bad. However, the XDA app (I've got the HTC Pure from ATT) has since stopped updating my messages. All the messages in my inbox are from before FB made this upgrade to my account. None of the new messages show up.

I'm assuming that the app needs some kind of tweak or update to account for the new messaging profile or something.

Is anyone else having this issue?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Colossus92:
