4.8 BETA

Ever since installing the 4.8 BETA version, I am unable to tag friends in the places tab. I can still choose a location I am at, but when I click on the "tag friends" text, the page goes blank... and not friends to tag. So I click the back arrow, and the page goes back to the list of places to where I am located.

Anyone else having this problem?

Brill, something as simple as that. Working a treat now! :D

Loggin

I installed 4.6.1 and was upgraded to 4.8

When I connect internally (Wi-Fi or GSM) tells me that the server does not answer. For external URL not locate the server (DNS) and internal Web fails.

What could be?

Instalé la 4.6.1 y se actualizó a la 4.8

Cuando quiero conectar Internamente (Wi-Fi o GSM) me indica que el servidor no contesta. Por URL Externa no localiza el servidor (DNS) y por Web interna da error.

Que puede ser?

Alright, FB has updated their chat APIs to allow for OAuth 2.0 login. This is great news!

Hopefully we can get the login resolved soon and a new version posted!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ibanezq:
Joe,

What is a situation with application progress?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] gslash:
Cannot see blackberry posts???

Hi Joe,

great app indeed, thanks.

In the news feed page, the updates from my friends using blackberry facebook app are not shown. Using a browser, such updates are shown normally.

Has anyone reported this? Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] L22EEW:
ERROR :(

Been getting an error past few days. Every time I click on the "profile" tab, the XDA facebook shuts down, and keep doing the same thing every time I tab the "profile" tab. Any idea's??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
Comments & Likes

In News Feed, if someone has added a comment to a post, when I click on Comments, should I be able to see the comments? All I get is the message 'Loading....' Likewise for Likes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] lookgod88:
very good app. but i found an issue. when i try to Chekin by going to Places, it says "This may take a while. GPS location data is being queried" then stuck here! no matter how long time you wait, it is stuck here! any workaround?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ibanezq:
Joe,

Are you live? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Spacii:
To me it says:

Invalid URL String. Please try and copy again.

Tried it like 10 times or so?^^

any solutions?

(HTC Mega WinMo 6.5)

EDIT: Tried internal webbrowser! worked with first try ;)

EDIT2: Chat dun works it says "Login Failed"
[Windows Mobile Software Development] RoryB:
I noticed the end of the string had something like #_._ or similar. I copied all of the string except that and it worked.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Spacii:
what is that with the chat? is it my fault or anyone else got this problem?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
Please have a look at Post #3.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hey, I've been away with some "business", but I just posted a new update! Notice the new color scheme :) Like it?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] alexysc88:
Unable to view theme

Hi joe, i do noticed the new colour theme while login. However my device never seems to load the theme in the main page. I am currently using Sony Ericsson M1 running wm 6.5.3 qvga landscape (full time). i tried to change to other theme but wad i get is just the default theme with little icons. Is this due to my screen restriction?

And btw, it is good to see chat is logging in now. Hope it could replace the fim for good! but currently still not working? How bout the local search in places? is it still not up and running or juz my phone? Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ibanezq:
Joe,

I've made a Polish language file. Bonn appetite! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vannanta:
v 4.8.5 with pinky,,,,, :D
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
Joe thanks a lot for the new version. Can you post the changelog so that we can see what changed? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
Thanks for the update Joe. Previous 'Comments' now show up.

As alexysc88 has already mentioned, there are problems with 'Themes'. The splash screen is always It's A Girl whichever of the 3 themes are selected.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yeah, the themes seem to have gotten messed up in the CAB... I'm trying to fix it, but VS2008 keeps copying the wrong files to the cab.... blah, I hope I don't have to do this manually... look for a 4.8.6 later today with the fixes, and the update list

Also, let me know if when you log into chat, if the online list of friends shows up. Also, compare the list to the list of friends that facebook says are online.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] srdahan:
the app crash!!! when i try to go to profile or chat...

and it doesnt let me tag friends on places... it did but after the update it didnt.

thanks,

Sharon.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] geogeo.gr:

[Windows Mobile Software Development] facundoo:
With version 4.8.5 I still can not log in any method.

Internal timeout fails. The Browser can not find the page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
Tagging friends is working fine for me.

Also regarding Joe's post on "Chat". My online friends on xdafacebook are identical to my online friends on facebook. Great job!!

There seems to be a problem with the News Feed, which seems to skip some posts. Let me post some screenshots to show what i mean.

First one is the actual facebook news feed and the second one is from xdafacebook. You can see that there are 2 posts missing
[Windows Mobile Software Development] srdahan:
it doesnt show me the list of friends when i want to tag...

it doesnt show me the list of friends when i want to tag...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
Oh, then you just have to go the the "Friends" tab once, wait to load and then go back to "Places" and voila!! The list of friends ready to be tagged :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] srdahan:
its loading for 5 min... :( its ok or no?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
No, it shouldn't take that long. Strange, maybe Joe can help with this.

Edit: Try also this. Delete the file data.xfd from \Program Files\XDAFacebook and restart the program and see if it makes a difference.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] srdahan:
it did .... lol thanks.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
pink, i can not believe ................. :eek::eek:

1. changing von friends to chat or messages or other part take a long time, i guess a least 4-5 seconds ...... that issue is totally new for me .....

2. groups are working great

3. i see NO friends in chat, facebook online shows me a lot of them ....

4. Tagging friends in places do not work proper ..... i can not go back to places, when i have tagged a friend

THANKS for the new beta version!!!

best regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
4.8.6 Beta

Themes are now working fine in this latest release. Thanks Joe.

Edit:

Correct image sets are selected for each theme but the Groups image is missing from the Default set and the Update Status image in the Default set is the same as the one from the hungelt8 set.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
All working fine joe. I take it chat isn't finished friends show up fine. Still get s error If I try and delete a status.It says you can only delete status if it was done useing xda when the status was written useing xda facebook. the status does get deleted but you have to exit xda cos the program freezes.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
P.S Just noticed sometimes pictures load a bit zoomed in. On the photo viewer. Never had this problem with older version.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] riotman:
Hey everything working fine so far, but i cant read messages. it crashes..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wil_dee:
4.8.6 testing

thanks for the update Joe!

working fine for me :)

the check in tends to only work when i have a 3G connection as opposed to normal GPRS connection, where i get error all the time on GPRS...

i think i'll stick with the blue theme for now ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
Me too, but this is not a new problem as I reported it to Joe several versions ago. I don't think it is GPRS per se, just a time out problem on slower connections like GPRS.

Another problem still with us is in Beta 4.8.6 is that the News Feed doesn't show the full list of status updates visible on the F/B website (via Opera on my HTC HD2).

e.g. I don't see all the updates from some people on XDA Facebook that I see on the F/B website, and for some people, I don't see any of their posts at all on XDA Facebook.

Sort those 2 problems out Joe and its worth another donation ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Avalon-99:
Hi,

German Translation for 4.8.6:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
the first problem might be able to be fixed. I'll work on having menu option for setting time outs.

as for the second problem, I only can display what facebook gives me :( this is a facebook wide problem that affect all 3rd party apps. I'll still look into a fix thou :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TRLOS:
Having the same issue.

Any fix yet ? Im using the app through an ADSL2+ Wifi connection, so shouldn't have anything to do with lag issues. The app just crashes.

Errorlog attached.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
for me the same!!! (problem and donation :D:D:D:D )

it would be great if you can solve this issue .......................

Thanks a lot!!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
Same for me, although it perhaps needs a bit more of an explanation.

Selecting Inbox brings up the list of messages, but if you select any of the messages, XDA Facebook crashes out with the message:

An error has occurred and was logged. Please review and submit the file stored at: \Storage Card\Program Files\XDAFacebook\ErrorLog.txt to the dev team. Thank you!.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fbirraque:
I'm using version 4.8.6 Beta now.

Thanks for the great job!

The only problem that would like to report is "Inbox" option that isn't working on my HTC HD2.

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bodisson:
Groups are working great, but messaging crashes. I will not attach error log, since error message is the same as previously sent by others.

Version is latest OTA update.

And... how can I change color scheme? Pink is great, but I'd like something more... masculine ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TRLOS:
Go into Menu > Settings > Image Settings (on the top)

Change the Application Skin
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dotNETProgrammer:
Heya Joe, wassup man? Sorry about the drop off the planet lol. I'm now doing Android stuff with an EVO 3D since my TP2 fell into a puddle :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bodisson:
Inbox just crashed...

<edit>

Chat has crashed while HD was connected via Active Sync, but that could be due restrictions on my business laptop... will test more...

<end edit>
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikempower:
i have a problem with the site:if i try to find the place whera i am i can't find it,but often if ai close and reopen te application,i can find the place.

It appears with other places that at the first try wheren't in the list,but know many of the other sites are disappeared...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hey, no problem :) Good luck with your android development! Have you thought about doing WP7 dev as well?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Just updated to 4.8.9

Lots of new features and fixes!

Sorry for the delay, I don't have WM6.5 any more, so working on the emulator is pretty terrible.

Let me know if there are any more issues!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Thanks for the update Joe. So what's new in this update.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikempower:
installed just now

only a question:wich database use this program to finding locations? is the same of the Iphone?because sometimes i cannot tag myself in some place ,while my friend with iphone find this place and tag themselves..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Added old notifications, view likes, like comments on posts, view comments for photos, fixed photo rendering, fixed login, fixed other bugs

I am using the FB database. The reason that the iPhone app finds things that this app doesn't is because I haven't dynamically loaded the search radius. It currently is hard coded at 1 km from your location. I will add the "Show More" and the search functionality next
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikempower:
ok! with this two feature it would be great,becuose often i'm in a place but i can't find it in Locations...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] geogeo.gr:
Greek language update for v4.8.9
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
4.8.9 Beta

Thanks Joe. Seems more stable on non 3G mobile connections now and viewing Comments and Likes works great.

Now that will be worth waiting for!

Any reason why you didn't include the missing icons I sent you for the default skin?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Boo, I didn't add the images to the ZIP files. I added them to the folder and forgot to add it to the ZIP. I'll do that and add it when 5.0 comes out! (hopefully soon)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vannanta:
hi joe thanks you are the best...in next version can u make the real time notification (if get massage,new comment,wall post,etc) in home screen if the xdafb app closed or minimize...?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
+1

that would be great!!!! :D:D

greetings
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
By notifications, do you mean up in the toolbar? I already notify the user of notifications when the application is open, and if the user minimizes the app, the notifications continue to update (every 60 seconds) and is displayed in app. As for pushing these notifications to the OS, I haven't seen any code on how to do this, but I also haven't really looked into it :-)

If it's a pretty quick fix, I'll see if I can add it in
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Thanks joe what a update. May I just point out that when I comment on someone's status my last comment gets put one above the last one made Instead of at the bottom if that makes sense. It's not a big thing I know but thought I would say or you will never know.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] vannanta:
yes i mean push notification in taskbar and some ringstone/alert :D i belive u can do it master joe :D keep dev master !!!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
Hi joe,

i already aksed this, but i have to do it again.

I do not see some friends post, i also do not see them in the friendslist, some of them has an iphone4 , some other an android device ........ i can not see anything which those friends have in common, that could explain this issue ........on the mobile website m.facebook.com , i can see them all ..... but not with xda facebook .... i see no comment, no posts of them ...... have you an idea to locate the problem?? what can i do .....

thanks a lot, greetings, henry
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
+1

In my case, all my friends appear in my friends list, but I never see posts from some of them even though they show up when accessing F/B through a browser. I also can't see a pattern to it. I have tried removing friends and then re-adding them, but it makes no difference. We have raised this one before Joe, but your initial thoughts were that it must be a F/B issue.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Lol, thanks. I am finding I cant use general logic with facebook data. I will get this fixed. Not to hard but still a bug.

I will look into it. See what I can find :)

Hmmm... The facebook website's wall is sorted by "relevence" where as the wall that is returned via the graph is sorted by datetime.

http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=1427076518

This is the tool that I use for testing the data I get from facebook. If the data that shows up in this tool is different than the information in the client, then there is a problem. I can only display what facebook gives me :( and they limit a lot of the graph features because they dont make money off of that data (compared to the web site).

On the facebook developers bug site there are a few bugs about this that im following. When they get resolved ill update accordingly :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] henryblake:
@Joe, thanks a lot ..... but

how can i use this tool??? i tried to "play" with it, but i failed :):eek: .....

Hi.! I also get this error.. What i did was:

Installed the 4.8.6 version, internal logged in, clicked on "remember", then updated to 4.8.9, and it logged in... But I got another error.. My wall isn't showing up.. I tought it was the app. So I check out the windows official facebook app, but it isn't showing my wall either.. So maybe the last website facebook update change something. Other functions works well.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mihaimustata:
i already have 4.8.9 version but is the same error.

Does anybody will support this app?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mihaimustata:
Please help :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
sorry for taking so long to get back! Holidays and family :)

How you use the tool:

Once it loads, the page will have your Access Token (I just checked allow for everything. But feel free to pick and choose), the current URL that you are browsing, and the resulting JSON object bellow. The URL is the key to getting specific objects, for example, if you want you get your fb object, type "me" in the text box.

On the right side of the JSON object will be the Connections and the Fields associated with the object you are browsing. Clicking on the different Connections will forward the browser to the corresponding JSON object.

If you want to view your friends list, click on "Friends" or type in "me/friends".

Common URLs:

me/friends = friends list

me/feed = your wall

me/home = news feeds from your friends

me/updates = your updates

I hope that helps!

Hmmm... I don't have a phone to work with, but the emulator is still working... does anyone have VS and a phone that can help out with this?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mihaimustata:
I'm ready to help you (i use htc hd2 with win 6.5).What should i do?

btw: forgot to mention i'm using v4.5.1

ps. see my post a couple posts down for how I fixed it on my phone...
