My fb accound is locked down so that only friends, not friends of friends can only contacts me. so i log onto my wp7 integrated facebook to find generic messages from people i dont know at all. not specifically to me so i dont know why this has started to happen. anyone else with this issue? its always been fine before.
what under the peoples hub? under the whats new bit?
yeah that bit.
FB integration doesn't have its own privacy settings in any phone or device.

it's probably from pages you "like" or intests you have which is why you're seeing these.

im used to palringo on my htc touch pro 2 and im hoping they bring that over to wp7, it had a option to leave u logged into aim, yahoo, msn, facebook chat, and a few other services as soon as u turned the phone on and it ran in the background and gave u notifications whenever a new message had arrived
is there anything close to this or any good messenger applications in the windows marketplace that you guys have tried out? anything for facebook chat?
how do the messenger apps work on wp7? are they leaving u logged in and notifying u when u receive new messages or when u exit the messenger app it signs u out and closes whatever messenger service you're using since multitasking would be required for this??
I think there is no all in one messenger app,it is all separated.
MSN- messenger by miyowa
facebook chat and google talk- you can try (flory)
hope this help...cheers
It looks like there won't be an official Microsoft Messenger client.
Microsoft apparently asked Miyowa to write one on their behalf

I expect in the future, there will be a good multi-protocol client like I had in IM+ on the iPhone.

This statement has been made invalid like a thousand times already. In an interview at CES someone at Microsoft said they had plans for a client but just not right now (pocketnow has the interview somewhere).
If Miyowa was working on behalf of Microsoft like they claim, they wouldn't have their name in the app title (e.g. the facebook app), not to mention it wouldn't be that crap.

It closes when you leave the app. For certain applications, a remote server will keep your connection to the service alive and send any received messages to you via push notifications. Same as on iOS pretty much.
IM+ will be the best when it comes out.

Answer to your question is there is no good IM app for WP7. It's an area that's sorely lacking unfortunately.
ive read there was recently a update with flory im is anyone using that how is it? how is it for receiving messages when you're outside of the application? do you still receive messages when u leave the app with this new update?
Yes, it remains active in background. Just check Stay logged and Run under lockscreen in settings. You will receive notifications just like messaging.

Nothing beats Windows Live for Windows Mobile on that OS. Loved it, especially the Push Email for Hotmail...
And integrated presence status in contacts app.
Windows Live really was a thing of beauty. Felt just like Windows Live on my pc.
It would be really nice if Microsoft would do one just like that. The only problem for me is all my friends are on Whatsapp now. I keep trying to get them to go over to an msn messenger client (3 friends - blackberry, iphone 4, G2 lol) especially since msn messenger adds a PC client which is big for me, which whatsapp does not have.
But seems so few people use msn messenger for pc in my circle anymore. Facebook and BB killed it.

Try Fim Facebook Chat.
FWIW, there's some information going round that Windows Live Messenger will be integrated into the People hub.

WhatsApp is cute and all, but it halved my battery life on my Vibrant so I made them remove my number from their database and haven't looked back since... It's a good solution though, using phone numbers and all... I also like how they allow you to set the App to give clean pop-up notifications similar to iOS (I prefer that and Toast Notification types to Android's "scroll text in the notification bar" bull****).
It's also been having some performance issues, and issues with message delivery speeds lately. Seems like when these startups get enough customers, they stop caring as much...
The main issue for me in Windows Live for Windows Mobile was that it was never updated to support Yahoo!<->Windows Live interoperability, nevermind Facebook. This means half of my buddies could see me online, but I could never chat with them...
For some reason only one of my Facebook friends is not showing up in my contact list, i have, in settings, set it to show all Facebook contacts. It shows all except one. I go into my Facebook app and it shows him as a friend...i don't get it... I've cleared out my log in through accounts and then set it back up, waited for all the contacts to be linked up again, but he's still not there... really frustrating... any ideas?

Yes! This is just the issue I've experienced too. One of my contacts doesn't show up no matter what I do. I've spent a lot of time playing with this. It's quite annoying. I think this is a problem on FB's side.
Well I don't know what exactly I did to fix it, but its working now... I went into my facebook albums to check out some pics and he was on the lost so I checked my contact list and he was linked again

I think sometimes if the names don't match up perfectly it doesn't find it...I'm sure you verified this already though.
Facebook Sync/Contacts/Messaging
I am having a problem getting my contact picture to appear in messaging as well as caller ID.
I have synced my Facebook account with my contact list, joined all of the contacts, and have the Caller ID default set to the Facebook picture.
However, all of the pictures in my messaging and when someone calls me comes up as the blank default picture as if they do not have one set.
The pictures appear in the contact list fine, and are all marked as default for caller ID. How can I get their pictures to appear in my messaging and my caller ID?
Everyone here needs to say what ROM they are using. HTC Sense does things different then cm7. sense 3.0 may do thing different then 2.1 or 1.0. Also are you using the "Sync" in the facebook application or are you using the accounts sync in htc sense?
I dont think anyone here has enough information to answer your questions at this point.
One thing you may want to do is add that one contact as a contact in gmail (if that is what you sync contact with) and see if that contact gets linked with the facebook person.
Hope that helps, and good luck

i am having the same problem with only one fb contact not showing in my android samsung epic touch galaxy 2 stock OS not showing. THE NAME MATCHES PERFECTLEY.(even when names dont match perfectly... there is one contact for the fb name and one phone contact spelled differently and not linked.) i have done everything you have tried also with no results... im pissed. ive unfriended him and refriended him twice. PLEASE HELP
Hi you guys,
i love my arc very much but one thing is pissing me off.
Every time i open up my contacts, it takes for ever for them to show up or when i go into an contact it takes forever.
I have synct my contacts with Facebook so i can have the fancy pictures. (perhaps thats the problem)
Is there a way to disable this so i can just get the pictures and not all the profile stuff too?
Or is it something complete diffrent?
Phone is upto date...
thx for your help
Mine is perfectly fine, every contact has a nice contact pic that I set myself.
Maybe it is the facebook stuff slowing it, I dont use any of that rubbish.
No problems here.. Got facebook inside xperia fully synced.. Are your contacts stored on the phone or in google? Do you have a task kilter running on auto? How many contacts do you have? Are you using the stock dialer and contacts app. ?

I was wondering if anyone who is running Synergy RLS1 ROM has working Facebook Push Notifications? If so could you help me in getting them to work? I have never had push notifications working on my phone and would like to pin point why it works on some EVO's and not others.
Edit: After doing some research on Google I stumbled upon this page that explains that having "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" in your app list on Facebook your push notifications will work. So I found someone who still uses a Blackberry (wasnt easy) and all I had to do was log into my Facebook on their phone and enable notifications and wait for my news feed to load. Then I just logged out. Went on my computer and sure enough the "Facebook for Blackberry Smartphones" appeared in my App list under account settings. Then on my EVO I just cleared the Facebook app data and logged in again and sure enough my Push Notifications were working. I have cleared the data before and it never worked so I dont know why having the Blackberry thing makes it work but it has for me. No more flooding my gmail inbox with Facebook crap... Please feel free to try this and post if it works for you.
The Facebook for Android app just sucks. I don't think anyone has done anything specific to get push notifications to work on their phone - some do, some don't.
You can set up push notifications through Friendcaster using your Gmail or something. I haven't actually done it because I don't use Facebook very often, but I know that the option is there. You can try that out.

I can tell this, it wasn't working when I was on stock froyo, not working still with what I have now. I don't think the FB devs are able to test it on all phones and roms, but then again, I don't think they pay much attention to bug reports. I must have sent them one report everytime they update that notifications are broken.
Friendcaster's a neat replacement, though.

Is anyone having problems with the Official Twitter App for Android not pushing / syncing contacts.
A few weeks ago I stopped getting notifications and had noticed that under Accounts and Settings it gave the sync is experiencing problems message but only for contacts in twitter.
Anyone else having a similar issue
its been broken for a minute. There were a lot of comments and 1 stars in the market about it not too long ago
Ah. I missed that. QBKing didn't know anything about it. It sucks the major though.
