MS Official Facebook App

Hopefully the start of MS pulling its finger out
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/default.mspx

thanks nice find

Finger scrolling is still a bit messed up though... and it's slow to update
I still find the mobile site (m.facebook.com) to be far more useful!

Just noticed something that could be a problem for some users:
While the application is running, even minimised, it uses the internet to update itself. I just noticed this as I was using the application over a wireless connection earlier this morning, then minimised it and put my phone on stand-by. I've just turned it back on to find that it had connected through my data connection (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA etc) while my phone was off.
So just a warning - it helps itself to an internet connection while it is running

I have notice the same "behavior"

i cant seem to get it to log in!!

I'm using Dutty's XT V3.0 and under the Phone>Option>Data, there is an option to disable data connection when device enters sleep mode.
Not sure if other ROMs are having the same option..

Im getting the same issue. Uninstalled the Ather cab and installed 1.0.0.7 then restarted when prompted. The app loads without issue however I also cannot login.
Device seems to crash and then is incredibly sluggish from there (even after killing the app)
Anyone else seen this on the touch HD and know if there is a fix?

I've been trying this for a few days....and to be honest...I can't see the point of it. I left it running in the hope that it would update itself and alert me of new messages etc..but it doesn't. Even if I exit and restart the app, I still have to tell it to refresh by clicking the refresh button.
using the facebook site via IE or opera is still much better and quicker.

i have thought the same - m.facebook.com is easy and works.
One of the key things it misses as well is the lack of profile photo changes
If they can get this sorted, auto updates etc then it may be worth using but for the moment its gone.

Seems a bit pointless. The only plus side that I can see is being able to upload photos and videos.
There are problems reading comments left on your status... or at least I cant see an obvious way to read them.
The webpage is just so much cleaner.

For thos who can't login...
I have updated my Stock ROM 1.14 to stock 1.56 and now Facebook Official works (previous versions worked on previous ROM).
I haven't noticed major bugs - only scrolling as was mentioned here is ery slow and refresh times....

Sopis - Im running 1.56.405.1 WWE and this still gives me the same login error message....

I too had Facebook-Ather (0.16) installed, i uninstalled it and installed the microsoft facebook cab 1.0.0.7... i get stuck at the login, after typing in my username/email and password, as soon as i press 'Login', the app pretty much stops responding. Then as someone said above, if i close the app the device is very laggy and responsiveness is almost non existant (and even if I manage to get myself to launch cleanRAM, the device is still poor.)
I suppose we need to wait for Service Pack 1 then? lol.

The best mobile site to use is iphone.facebook.com
Much smoother interface (and you dont need an iphone to use it).

Just tried to install Facebook 1.0.0.7 on my Kaiser and loads without an issue.
Really confused why the HD has so many issues with it!​

Thanks I do switch back and forth sometimes but I prefer the regular one... the iPhone one just seems less "practical" in the sense that all these status updates and things are like pop-ups... The thing with me is, once I'm used to something, I'm a difficult one to change

Windows update not working- 'make sure date and time are correct' - and 80072ee7

Yes I've tried searching.
I've tried to update with and without the data box checked. Wifi on and off. Is it disabled and ROMs and radios are done by htc? I'm so confused. I was born yesterday so I'm new to technology.
Connection to the update server is not available. Check your data connection settings and ensure the device date and time are correct.
Result Code:
80072ee7 (seems to be an error used by windows in general and not just mobile - mentions some static ip stuff for vista but I don't think you need that kinda stuff with a phone)

Windows update not working is normal. I think carriers must support it for it to work and I don't know of any carriers that do.

Thanks. That means I have to figure out how to manually update through HTC's website or are there OTA updates like with android?

Traditionally, updates to Windows mobile devices are done via ROMs that you download to your computer and flash via a USB connection.I think some kind of OTA updating is possible, but I doubt of t-mobile will support that.

Well I also have the G1 from t-mobile and that has OTA updates, but that also doesn't allow tethering while for some reason winmo phones are apparently allowed to tether 24/7, so who knows.
I forgot to mention that my phone seems to be going abnormally slow and not reacting at a reasonable speed. I have no idea how I left that little nugget of info out since it's the reason I'm trying to update. I saw the MMS +international and a ROM update on HTC's site, but my versions are newer, so I'm not sure what's up (and I'm also horrible at navigating to info I need). I always go through all the settings when I get a new piece of plastic and I can't seem to speed this baby up no matter what I do. It seems to be at its worst in IE, with or without lots of stuff on the page, and besdies that it just doesn't seem as fast as it should be. The phone's only new-to-america, right (as in it's been out in other countries)? And winmo's been out for decades, so I don't think that's blamable on it being "new".
Man I'm horrible at finding stuff. I had that page with the updates on htc's site and now I can't find it again. I checked the online manual and it talks about windows update like it works too, but maybe that part is just part of the default windows mobile manual. I'M SO CONFUSED

Posting from my phone now, it took about three minutes to get down to this phone from the main forum page, and when it locks up I can't click menu or anything and yes the page was done loading and no I don't know why at 5AM I remember details I shoulda posted back at 5PM. Instant messages and texts also don't show up in order and some take literally hours to show up at all. My G1 and my cousin's sidekick both work in this location so I don't think it's a connection problem although I do get errors about not being able to connect to certain things but I have no idea what it means. One is like 'can't dial blah blah' but I'm not calling anyone.
I've never really had a good experience with windows mobile but I doubt this phone is actually really THIS bad. But, there's also nothing really pointing out a direct relation to this being a software or hardware fault.
Actually I'll post this then I'll post my version info maybe I'm not up to date

I can't copy paste this stuff? This is gonna suck
ROM ver.........1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE (this a limited edition wrestling phone or something?)
ROM date.......06/08/09
Radio.............3.45.25.14
Protocol..........61.27T.25.23U
I think I typed that all right. Is that up to date? I can't quite figure out htc.com, hell I can't even navigate my own site

I also can't seem to switch to transcriber or anything other than the default on screen keyboard

google search box behaving like password field

Hi guys,
From yesterday I am finding the Google search behaving strangely. Any text entered are displaying it as food (like password). I am not sure what's the problem is.
I got this problem with rcmix 0.9, leedroid 3.0.5 , insert coin 15, then I came back to leedroid 2.4 which I was using and was having as a backup, but no change still same problem. I have checked this with default browser and with dolphin and with opera on all Roms specified above , still same problem.
Has any one have same problem?
Is it a virus?
Is something went wrong in updating roms?
Not sure why?
I request for the help from experts.
Thanks in advance.
Prakash Rao

My guess would be that Google made some changes to their mobile site, and accidently made the search box appear as a password entry box. Probably nothing you can do, it would have to be fixed on Google's end.
Also other people reported this with Stock NON-rooted phones and other devices, like Wildfire, Thunderbolt.

I agree with that, although it's odd some people have it and some not!

[Q] Unable to access specific websites

Ok first off this is my first post so don't go flaming me. I have searched the site thoroughly although maybe I am not entering the correct keywords to return a valid result. I have had my galaxy nexus since launch and am glad I migrated from iOS to an android phone.
That being said everything works flawlessly for my needs I'm on the VZW phone unrooted no firmware modifications, the phone is almost stock with the exception of like 3 apps I have downloaded and the ICS update that was pushed to my phone immediately after turning it on.
One of my primary uses with my smartphone is accessing a website for school where I can view grades, scheduling, add and drop classes etc..
The browser on 3g, 4g, Wifi works flawlessly going to any website either through a search engine or via manually entering the URL. However the school website is unaccessible through the browser on this phone and it is the only page I can not get to. I have checked via other smart phones, desktops and other devices concurrently while using the nexus and am able to validate the site is up and available.
If I do a google search for it, go the the parent university site and use hyperlink or manually enter the URL I get web page not found - network error. I was thinking at first that it was an https problem but I am able to visit other secure sites without any problem. I also tried the option to goto to a non-mobile version of the site without success as well.
here is the web address
EDIT: apparently I can't post a link but you can navigate by doing a google search for UM-Dearborn Connect it should be the first result returned
So my question is what gives? Is there some type of a credential issue with my browser and this site? an incompatability with the new OS and this site I just don't understand why only this site I am unable to access.
If another galaxy nexus user could try to access this site and give feedback it would be greatly appreciated.

Try using Opera Mobile or Firefox. Both can be downloaded from the market. I will try to get to the site now.

Edit: I get the same network error message as you when trying to connect in the stock browser. Opera Mobile seems to work fine. I had a similar problem with a University site on the Gingerbread browser on my last phone. The beauty of Android is that there is a solution to nearly any issue you come across.

I get the same problem when looking at Newegg Promotions that I get in my email. It's really weird. I get the same problem on my Transformer as well.
Occurs on EDGE/3G/4G and WiFi.

Maxthon
You may also want to give the Maxthon browser a go. I use it over the stock browser and it always works well.

Thanks for the verification on your phones guys, I thought I was going crazy and wasn't sure if I should try a factory reset.
While using another browser may be an alternative my inherent inner geek is not satisfied with resorting to an alternative option.
I'm going to try and get to the bottom of this. If I get any updates I'll post to this thread.

[Q] My problems with HTC One V

OK, so the following are the problems I have with my One V (PLEASE SOLVE NO. 1, 4, 6 FIRST!):
1. The Stock Messages App.
The stock Messages app on my One V got slower and slower and now it takes about 1 minute to open a conversation. :crying:
Moreover, if I want to send a message to someone, the contact name never appears when I type his/her name in the recipient text box.:crying:
To send a message, I have to open any conversation which I have in my Inbox and then when it opens up, I have to again go to compose message and then everything works fine. What's the problem?
2. Cannot view vCard Files.
When I open a VCF File, it asks for 'Contact under account'. And when I select one, all the contacts automatically get copied to the selected account. I want to view the contacts in my vCard file before copying them. How to do so?
3. It's Super Laggy
Now it's been a month I've use my One V and it has started lagging. Even updated to the latest Firmware update available in India, but nothing helped.:crying:
4. The Stock People App
The People app on my One V has become slow. I don't even have large number of Contacts (about 50)...:crying:
5. Temple Run
Gets stuck when I play Temple Run.:crying:
6. USB Tethering
First of all, when I connect my phone to my PC, the options for selecting Disk Drive, Charge Only, etc. pop up after 1 min. Earlier they appeared immediately.:crying:
Next, USB Tethering doesn't work every time.:crying: When I select USB Tethering and tap Done, the disk drives (HTC STORAGE and Removable Disk as they were named by default) are unmounted, but my PC does not get connected to the internet. After trying a lot of times (by unplugging the phone from the computer) it works once (I mean works after trying for at least 4-5 minutes).:crying: Why does this happen?

omg the list is just too big ;D hehe
did you tried modifications.?

try using a custom rom
i too was facing the laggy problems when on stock
but all solved when switched to custom
dont know how but it solved

No!
No... I won't root it...

Give the little guy a restart now and then. Also, don't install loads of apps because they will open by themselves and eat memory ram! Install only what you need and delete what it is useless.
Think about it this way: The phone is your home and you are the janitor. You need to clean it up and keep it clean in order to be smooth. Do not put crap inside and leave it there.

I think the software version is the main problem here. 1.xx are damn slow, just as you say (and if I remember correct, there is no 2.xx update at your location ATM but this is not for sure).
If you are on 2.xx then I don't really know, mine works just fine altough it is loaded with contacts/sms/programs really badly . USB tether works fine, SMS is just as HTC dreamed it.
Oh and BTW I haven't ever played temple run, so can't help you about that

1. Sounds like the database might be corrupted. Try rebuilding it by going Settings > Apps > All > Messages > Clear data. None of your messages will be removed.
2. You can't see the contents of the vcard file before importing it. Not without third party apps at least.
3 + 4. Your phone might need a factory reset to be honest
5. Yep. Kill all other applications before starting it. ALL other. You might even need to go into settings > Development > Don't keep activities. The One V is simply not powerful enough to run it comfortably.
6. Can be that the USB cable is not working properly. Sounds like it at least. Otherwise it should work I guess, but anything involving HTC Sync is on a "lucky if it works"-kind of basis. Use wi-fi tethering if you can instead as this doesn't need HTC software to run and is therefore much more likely to work without problems.

That's good to hear. If you can wait for the official 2.08 then the problems will be mostly over, if of course, you don't want to root your phone.

U're quite dense. If you look at his signature you'll see that he's running a Custom Rom and the most logical explanation for him specifically stating 1.5Ghz is that he's using an overclocked kernel. You really should read a bit about rooting and go for it. Xda has a brilliant bunch of devs working towards better working ROMs for your device. Its not too difficult.....to root I mean.

Cannot really send video, or that it is faster, I can only say, that it is working fluent, and not really thinking of anything.
Software rev in my phone is 2.08.401.2 (europe of course) but I can assure you, that it lagged in 1. IDontKnowWhich version, at least with me.

The USB Problem is 50% solved!
My 6th problem (USB Tethering) is gone!:victory: Not completely, but now my PC gets connected to the internet every time when I select USB Tethering on my phone.
However, when I connect the phone to my PC and I select 'USB Tethering' on the 'Choose a connection type' window that automatically pops up, the notifications area says USB Tethering but my PC doesn't get connected to the internet. Even the USB Tethering option in Settings->More->Portable hotspot and tethering is not checked.
Then, when I manually check this USB Tethering option in Settings-> ... Portable hotspot and tethering, my PC gets connected to the internet.
Is there a good app that lets me make a shortcut of the 'Portable hotspot and tethering' area on my home screen?
