Hello to all !

I'm running Windows Mobile 5.2 (still !) on my antik QTEK S200, and i'm pleased to inform the DEV that it runs ! :p (once .NET CF is at the right version...)

Some feedbacks, only for my use and machine :

The soft is long to launch and update (FB status, etc...) : BUT i run a very small powered machine (195 Mhz !) and the soft was installed onto a storage Card... This may explain that...

The soft consume too much KiloBytes for my use : After a simple session (Connect, display my friends' news, then posted a new status) the traffic was nearly 700Kb...

This is NOT a huge amount of data, but using m.facebook.com WITH OPERA mini, i 'only' consume 100Kb or so...

Don't grill me, i'm sure this is a cool app... But too much for my phone and data plan ('only' 200Mb)

Is it possible to reduce the data ? (well, maybe using the mobile access to exchange data...)

Thanks for making small and usefull tools for us, WM's users ! :)

How do you know?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] o0z0o:
I can't find normal application for G+. :-(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
This thread is for XDA FB development. No one has begun writing one for G+ yet, since the APIs haven't been released yet.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phhere:
No it has not stopped. But joe_coolish has much to do and no computer at the moment.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hi everybody!

I'm back from (most of) my training and conference meetings!

I'm going to be able to start developing again, and hopefully I'll be able to get a new version out here in the next little bit!

I'm going to be going back through the forum to see what I missed, but no worries, I'm still here :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] saurabhrendale:
:-) very happy to see you :-)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Hmmm.... I haven't looked into Google+'s APIs, but I wonder if it's at all similar to the Graph?

I might have to look into G+
[Windows Mobile Software Development] cajunflavoredbob:
That would be pretty awesome. I haven't heard of Google releasing the API's for developers yet, though.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] fguzmant:
Notifications

Hello, it would be great that in the notifications(when a person likes or post a comment) will have the possibility to go to the post with the like or comment.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nurps:
From my point:

- this program needs to run a lot faster

- the newest messages should be displayed first so you dont have to scroll down for them

at the moment i prefer m.facebook and touch.facebook because its just faster, the only thing this app does better at the moment is displaying photos in full display size
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for your comment!

The system actually does that already, but only for wall posts. I need to build up the Photo commenting system a bit before the full potential of notifications can be harnessed.

Thank you for the feedback.

Could you tell me exactly which parts need to run faster? Things like transitions between X screen and Y screen, scrolling large lists, etc. Or do you mean downloading the content? Downloading things from the Graph can't be spead up any faster :(

As for the messages, are you refering to the notifications? I have a lot of work I still need to get done with the notifications. I'm still working on getting the top 25 past notifications displayed as well. I'll get them to be in newest to oldest order :) Thank you for the suggestion!

Let me know if there are anything else that can be fixed! I haven't been in the code for a bit, so I'm trying to remember where I left off!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
Nice to see you back Joe.

You probably need to look back at the posts made during your absence for feedback. My posts #829 & #840 offered some suggestions
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nurps:
First its the startup time of the program that is imense. Then loading the contents seems slow to (but could be my crappy provider). The idea here would be to preload all the stuff (new messages etc.) so its allready there if the category icon is clicked.

By messanges i mean the conversations with other FB user, it started with the first message i ever sent this person and i had to scroll far down to get to the newest..other way round would make more sense..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikempower:
this application is quite interesting,but don't run smootly and often freezes, also when you use locations tab you can't tag other people...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you everyone for your comments!

So... last night, my keyboard died on my phone, and after fiddling with it, something happened and it changed my entry PIN.

Long story short, I just had my SD card formatted... :(

I have the transformers movies backed up, as well as all my pictures, but I can't get the file structure back. Could someone who has an HD2 help me out?

I just need to file structure. I have no need for the games or any of the "extras". The main objective is to get the folders back, as well as any configs or special files like that.

If anyone can give me some help, I would be very very happy! Shoot me a PM!

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] saurabhrendale:
please tell me which files do you need, tried to pm u but could not find the option
[Windows Mobile Software Development] arpcpro:
Is the groups feature implemented?

In an older version I could not access the facebook groups. So I let it update to 4.7.3 but whenever I click on groups the same problem occurs. It shows a message saying that An error has occurred and was logged...etc, etc.

I'm using WM6.0 Pro on HTC P3600.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the-lightning:
hope it gets working soon ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] saurabhrendale:
same problem, I m using hd2 T-mob
[Windows Mobile Software Development] toxas:
The same happened to me
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bodisson:
Sorry, I don't get it... file structure?

SD card is just rewritable media. Try to put it in some card reader. If it's recognized as external drive, try to restore data from it with software like EASEUS Data recovery wizard.

If it's NOT recognized as external media, try to format it... but it's also possible that it died...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes, I am working on this as we speak :) I've got most of it working now, just a few minor details then I should have 4.8 out.

Yeah, what happened was the FAT table was re-formatted, so I was able to get the raw data back, but the folders were named "Unnamed Folder 0001" etc, and were 1 dimentional (e.g., there were no folders in folders. They were all on the root). The Files were for the most part restorable, but they were all lumped into one folder as well, and any naming conflicts were resolved with "FILENAM~1" type resolutions.

It's been a PITA trying to get my phone back up and working. I've been doing some development using the Emulators in the mean time. Hopefully I can get an update out soon!

OH!! Side note-----------------------------

If you check out the google code page, you'll see in the update history that FBChat files have been uploaded and are now being tested. As you can see from the files that were uploaded, this was a very large undertaking that required a lot of effort. I didn't do any of the XMPP development, that all belongs to irquigley.

Now, I need to develope the UX for Chat.

Here are a few things I've been thinking about and I would like some input about how to go about doing this:

One dimensional view with notifications

This would be something like a dropdown with all the online friends at the top, with a scrolling history bellow the dropdown, followed by an input box.

When one of your friends sends you a chat, you would receive a special notification at the top (like the red bar, but specific to Chat)

When you click on the bar, it switches to that chat view.

To switch between chat sessions, select the online friend from the dropdown menu

Friends that have sent you a message would appear with an * next to their name in the dropdown

multi-page

This would be a 2 paged chat process. The first page would be all of your online friends (same as they show up in the Friends panel)

Once you select your friend, you are taken to the chat screen, with a back arrow to swipe back to the friends list.

Notifications would be similar to the the One-Dim idea presented above

In both cases, handling online/offline/busy would be through the menu box at the bottom.

If neither of these ideas sound well-formed, let me know what changes you would make. If you have a complete solution that you feel is efficient, post and let's let the forum discuss.

Thank you for all of your help!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Bodisson:
Ow! I see... BOTH FAT tables were erased, and there was no residual info to restore them...

Yeah, I had similar situation on one of my HDDs. Even the monstrously capable recovery software has problems with such situation.

Hope situation is solved in the meantime... and I'll write just one thing more: "Backup" ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Phhere:
Nice to see, that the chat is coming. I think it is better to have a multi-page-layout.

i think FIM is a create example.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Joe any news on the update.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Yes, it's up!

No chat thou. I keep getting a Login Failed :( I'll release this one now and get back to the Chat login
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
Joe with 4.8 BETA, i still have the same behaviour with the previous versions. If i have a wall post with many comments (in this case 1900) and click on comments i don't get the most recent comments. I rather get older comments.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
oh right! forgot about that :) I'll get a .1 out soon with that fix :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] m0nkeyman:
Thanks for the update Joe. I don't know if you know about this but if you say comment on a picture someone has posted and someone else comments on it so you get a notification when you press on that notification it takes you to the persons wall not the comments. P.S What do you think about moving the notification bar to the bottom of the screen cos I find it gets in the way at the top.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frotna:
Joe, many thanks for new version and for your effort to make our wm devices up to date...

Cheers...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] TouchyDiamond:
Yes, thanks very much indeed! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mihals1:
thanx for the update, it's great to see a progress :)

I found that with the new version you cannot tag friends in Places. The list of friends simply doesn't load up
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Visit the Friends tab and then try it again. Let me know if that fixes it!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thank you for the comment! Yes I know that you can't comment on pictures yet. I haven't enabled that functionality in the picture viewer. Since the app doesn't know how to handle picture comments, it defaults to sending you to the commenter's profile.

As for positioning the notifications at the bottom, I think that might be doable. I'll see if someone can add a toggle or something to the settings pannel and I'll work the magic from there :) Or if anyone whats to take a crack at it, it should be pretty simple.

All the code for handling the notifications box is in the XFPanelBase.cs file. There are 2 parts, the Essential Geometry and the Display. The EG is the "What part of the screen does it react to touch" and the Display is "Where on the screen does it render?" I'm guessing once the toggle is in place you just need to change the Y value in th Rectangle object for both the EG and the Display.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Let me know if this fixes that!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mihals1:
Yes, it works now! Thank you for the "fix" Joe!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stathis95194:
Yeap. Latest comments appear now...Perfect update Joe!!!

Also the problem that mihals1 had with friends not appearing to tag, i confirm that joe's solution works. Visit the Friends tab and friends appear and you are able to tag them

Thanks a lot Joe
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
No problem :) I like how that feels too! I originally had the previous as a Pull Down refresher type deal, but then I got a post that was SUPER long and realized there was no way to pull down to get the previous comments! So i had to scrap it for the button.

As for the Friends feed, I'll get something in place for a solution instead of a work around :D

If I can get someone to help out with the menu location, I'll post a 4.8.1 later on. For now, I have furniture to setup
[Windows Mobile Software Development] geogeo.gr:
Update Greek language v4.8
[Windows Mobile Software Development] burnlea:
New problem?

I don't see status updates on the News Feed from all the people on my friends list. All my friends' status updates are visible when I use my web browser.

I have gone back to Version 4.6 to see whether it was a 'new' problem, but it is the same with that version.

Anyone else having this problem?

Edit:

Just checked on the official Windows Mobile Facebook app and it has the same problem, so not an XDA Facebook problem. Is a different facebook portal used with mobile apps compared to accessing via a web browser?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mikempower:
the same for me!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
I will take a look and see what's up. We get our information directly from the Facebook Graph, so where I get the info and the actual facebook website are completely different. There is a HUGE disconnect between the Graph and the actual websit. Facebook spends more time on the actual website because that's what makes them money. The graph doesn't make them as much money as their ads do...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] nurps:
Screen orientation changes, mess everything up, would be nice if thats supporte without having to reload the page/photo.

Also automaticly changing screen orientation to fit the phote best woud be great.

Did i mention that it would be great if the application would preload the contents to reduce waiting time when clicking messages, photos or what ever?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] joe_coolish:
Thanks for the error reports! I'll look into them

Yeah, I need to work on screen orientation. That's been a challenge so far. Doing the best fit of the pictures also has been challenging. I really hope to get those issues take care of soon!

As for preloading info, most of the sluggishness that the app is experiencing is from downloading information. Plus, figuring out what information to download and what not to touch is a very hard problem. There is literally GBs worth of info that any facebook account has access to. I wish there was an easier way, but unfortunately, there isnt.

I did however, submit a feature request to Facebook to allow for Graph API transmitions to be GZipped for faster transmitions. That would help a lot!

Also, check your Proxy settings and make sure that you are not connecting through some kind of connection that is blocking Facebook.

If i open Albums and quickly go to Create new album everything is ok, no crash...

Also i have a suggestion. Why don't you put Upload Photos below Create new album in Albums page instead as it is now under Menu. I think it's more natural to be under Albums, but that's my opinion...

Keep the great work...

[Windows Mobile Software Development] andypa:
Server Timed out - Internal Authentication.

Ok, I had trouble getting XDAFB b4.8 to work for the 1st time and after a google, ended up here. There's a post with a direct link somewhere early in this thread (the bugs post i think) which I entered into the browser on my device (HTC HD2) and was presented with an Orange (service provider) adult content block page... so turned off GSM, connected to my wifi and tried from the beginning. Internal authentication worked with no server timeout and now the XDAFB app works a treat even on my mobile provider connection with the adult content block still active. So if you're having trouble connecting for the 1st time, try a different connection....

Well worth the fight!

Cracking App! Well done!
