I was using SPB Mobile Shell 3 on my last phone, and loved the ability to grab contact photos for my friends from Facebook. Is there any way of doing this with the TP2? If not, is there any way of using that part of SPB Mobile Shell functionality without losing TouchFlo?
TF3D gives you the ability of creating a favourite contacts list and allows you to connect to facebook for photos, it also gives mini updates and birthday information which is pretty handy.
I tried this one unsuccessfully. It listed my Facebook friends, etc. but when I tried to grab the photo, it just had the default picture with a Facebook icon on it
Works great here! Dutch version.

Yes, it does only use the Default photo. Try a program called BookSync, think this gives you more options but the developer is really good, so will adapt the program to suit needs most of the time.
i find the facebook integration on tflo3d excellent, would be nice to be able to set a different update option (its every 2 hours and i cant see a way of changing that) but the way it pulls photo and a little bit of info is great and works really well.
which facebook app are people using?
I'm using standard TF3D interface, working well
I'm using v1.0.0.7 of the "official" facebook app (i.e. the downloadable app from facebook.com). It's supposed to integrate with the WM phonebook but I can't find any menu options for that (e.g. to download photos, personal details, etc). Has anyone else managed to work out WM contact integration with this app??
the built in application didn't work for pictures, but I got tip for a SkyBook as per here http://www.magnifoca.com/download_skybook.html and it worked .. so now I got finally all the pictures updated
My problem with BookSync is that it requires .net 3.5.
Why??? It can't possibly need that.
Well it's strange, on most of my contacts the integrated app works fine. But for some contacs which 100% have a pictre, it just doesn't fetch it. The contact is linked, but the photo just not shown. Anyone has the same problem? or even better a solution?

Usually happens when you're too quick at linking the contact then leaving that contact and going to the next screen. Go back into the contact andclick on updates. Then click the menu on the right and click on the "Get Photo" again and stay in that page, it should bring it down.
Anyway to avoid having TF3D erase my original picture from teh profile with the facebook one ?

Yeah, you just untick click "Get Photo" when linking the contact in TF3D
Thanks. I was not even daring to try
Ok Guys , here is an important question
I have about 177 friends that are on my TP2 phone book and also on my facebook.
It's a pain in the back to link each persons profiles to the phone book of the TP2.
Imagine you hard reset TP2 , you must do all this linking one by one again and again.....
Is there a way to Copy to facebook links to each dedicated peson. I would like to copy this file and overright the new file after a hard reset or phone change.
For example I also have a Touch HD with Rhodium Rom on it, when I moved all my contacts fom HD to touch Pro 2 , the facebook links did not transfer so I had to re-link this 177 persons one by one.
There are some facebook files, I copied some of them, overwrote the existing files but it didn't work.
I'm 100 % sure when there is a new ROM for the TP2 all of you will be looking for the same answer, let's find a solution for this now before it's too late )))

+1 to this suggestion.
However, if you sync it with your PC, shouldn't you be able to re-sync everything, including FB links? No?
Alternatively, there is a program I found called PIMBackup (google it! XD) that might do the trick of saving your contacts and their FB links in the event of a hard reset, but I honestly don't know, since I haven't hard reset my device as of yet.
I've been there , I ve done that
Outlook Synch or PIM BACKUP or Sprite Backup - NOTHING HELPS !!!!
All Facebook links to your contacts are disappeared............ when you hard reset your phone, image upgrading to other HTC Touch phone, same story, everything is gone.... You must re link all your facebook contacts to your TP2 contacts.
It's same with Diamond 2 and guys who use HD with Rhodium/Diamond Roms.
We need a solution for this !!!!!!!
Any body got an idea for this problem ???
We'll loose all facebook links to our contacts after a hard reset !!! How to backup and restore them ?
Hi All
I have installed the new Facebook application from the Microsoft Website and when I run the app, it allows me to place my username and password, but then crashes and make my phone slow. (To resolve the issue I have to switch off and switch the phone back on)
I did have the Facebook-Ather version and this work fine, but the new full version (Facebook_v1.0.0.7p) doesn't
Has anyone else had this issue and is there any known fix’s?
Thanks
I didnt have this problem, but after i installed mine, i didnt really like it.
So i uninstalled it, and im now using the Fim programme now, which allows
you to use the instant messenger and look at your web page at the same time. Its so much better. Hope this helps.
Id say try this app.
www.mosko.mobi
Just yesterday I found that you can not add new friends using the facebook application by searching their name or email address.
the 1.007 microsoft facebook suck biiiiiig time.
Mostly with me it just says "fetching" for every tab and never gets the job done. And it doesn't update the stuff.
So I use opera on my HD for that stuff, fast - but many things are missing on the mobile version, like foto upload.
When you go to All contacts on your phone and check there the updates - once you have given your userid and pwd - it seems to find the known contacts quite well.
abe
i have one answer: use Iris browser. not only i am enjoying the full functionality of facebook but i can even play mafia wars ...
i don't understand the obsession with Opera. yes, our HTC devices come with Opera built in but after 5 minutes with Iris...i forget Opera.
with Iris you can enjoy facebook even in iphone style. just try on Iris:http://iphone.facebook.com
Thanks, I have traid this and it seem to work well.
Heres a little program I made which allows you to automatically create / update / delete appointments based on your anniversaries and birthdays set on your contacts, it uses its own group for the appointments "From Contact" so that it wont interfere with any other appointments you have, also the latest version has a function to view all your birthdays / anniversaries on one screen and sort by various things, you can get it here:
http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/bdaytocalendar.phtml
Download link at bottom of page
The main reason I made it is because I didnt want to have to sync with Exchange and back again every time i add / change a birthdate / anniversary
NOTE: This program required the Microsoft .NET CF 3.5 to be installed on your device, so if you dont already have it you will need it, there is a link on the page to download it.
Let me know what you think, its my first attempt at a Windows Mobile device application, i have been using this app on my own HTC Touch HD for some time and it works really well.
Anyone find it useful, bugs? Requested Features?

first thank you for this program, now for me everyting is working just fine, the only thing i can think off is if you can make it where we can change the status to free because everything right now is set to busy.
Definitely, I didnt even think of that when I coded it, I will endeavour to get an update done today to fix this issue. Thanks for the input!
great program! was looking for something like this!
works good, no problems for me.
thank you!
Thanks aerodynamic.
And to maniatico:
A new version is up : Version 1.8
* Appointments are now created with a Free status instead of busy
* There was a problem before where editing the appointments manually would cause an error (end date must be after start date) this has been fixed, but may required you to Remove and then Update the appointments through the program rather than just updating.
Download from same location:
http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/bdaytocalendar.phtml
Another new version is up, sorry for the successive updates but I wanted to fix and update a few things:
Version 1.9 - 16/09/2009
* Multi column sorting now supported in view (sorting by another column will not interfere with current sort order of items which are equal for that column)
* Option added to select status for birthdays and appointments
* Sometimes appointments would update when there was no need for them to be updated - fixed
* Bug where appointments could not be edited is now fixed for sure (please remove and update if you have this issue)
* Progress bar now shown when loading contacts for viewing of birthdays / anniversaries
Version history is now on website:
http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgshere/bdaytocalendar.phtml

I have noticed there seems to be a bug in the HTC Touch HD (or possibly in WM6) where sounds, and vibrations wont work for reminders on appointments that are set to All Day events, for this reason sounds and vibrations dont work for appointments created by my program on this phone with WM6
Other people have confirmed this problem here:
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsmobile/thread/4dbfcc1f-bfc2-4b01-9551-5496fa05be40
I am planning on putting an extra option under a new tab into the program which is called "Appointment Method", basically it will have two options, "All Day" and "Start of Day", all day will result in all day appointments (for those where the bug above dosnt affect them) and "Start of Day" will create the appointments at midnight and end at midnight on the same day (this way they show up at the start of the day only) which should allow the sounds and vibrations to work.
Actually I might add this option for both appointments without reminders and appointments with reminders.
New version is up, you can now control your birthdates and anniversary dates from within the program using the view function, also a few other features including one to get around the problem where all day appointments wont play a sound or vibrate (see previous post):
1.9.1 - 17/09/2009
* You can now view / edit contacts by clicking a selected item in the view birthdays / anniversaries
* Extra setting added for making appointments at start of day instead of all day for reminded / non reminded apointments
* Extra setting added "Show All Contacts in View" will show contacts without birthdays or anniversaries allowing to set them if needed (they always sort to the end except when sorting by name)
* Dirty checking is now performed on the settings so you only get asked to update contacts if you make a change to relevant settings

Hi,
Thanks a lot for this app. Very nice program, very useful and welldone.
I have two suggestions:
- Multi-language translation ( I can do the french one )
- Possibility to add birthday in your app. (I have full of contacts with one person birthdate, but I must remember wife, children,...), it would be a nice option.
I hope it"s not to diffucult.....

This can definitely be done, will have to localise all the strings, but there arent that many in it! I will look into it

Do you mean, the ability to add extra dates, then one birthday and one anniversary per contact? The way I normally handle this is to just create a contact with only a name and a birthdate.
However im not discounting this feature entirely, but this one is a pretty big one to implement, although definitely possible, its a little outside the scope of the applications functionality.
Maybe when I have all the other stuff done and added, like the multi language, i will look into this feature a little more.
Thankyou very much for your feedback
where should i add an anniversary reminder? 'cause i can figure out how can i use this app. when i press update, nothing happends. i have in contacts all reminders.

Yes, it's about that. I keep my contact database with persons who have a phone number. For the other ones, I don't create them in my contacts.
I would like to add them in your app, instead of creating a recurring appointement for each birthday or anniversary.

Im not sure what your saying here ady_uaic, but for the program to work you MUST have one or more contacts with their Birth dates / Anniversaries set, you must also check the settings of my application, and ensure that "Process Birthdays" and "Process Anniversaries" is checked, otherwise they wont be processed and therefor wont create any appointments.
Apart from that, thats all you need to know?

Ok, well this is something I will add later on, basically I will implement my own database, this is a large undertaking for a project that was meant to be small and simple, but im sure once I get these other things done i will be looking for more to implement.
Ok, new version is up:
1.9.5 - 18/09/2009
* Now support multi languages files with icons, read below
* Other minor enhacements
Basically, you need to put at least one file with the extension of .lang in the same folder as the executable on the device, you can also, optionally put another file with the same name but with an extension of .png which should be a 64 x 64 PNG image to be used as the languages icon
Download this file to see a demo of the .lang and .png file for French (NOTE: Not all the french words have been converted and I only used google so its probably not that accurate, words which have not been converted have an X in front of them).
Every 2 lines in the .lang file is a conversion, the first is the english version .. DO NOT CHANGE THIS, change the second line of each one ONLY, you can edit the .lang file in Notepad, just be sure to save it as a UTF-8 format NOT ANSI.
Download the demo french language files here:
http://home.exetel.com.au/amurgsher...&filename=FrenchLanguageForBDayToCalendar.zip
Heres how selection works, if you havnt set a language yet and more than 1 language is available (NOTE: English is always available, as it is built in) then when you load the program it will ask you for the language.
Once it asks you once it will never ask again, unless you click the LANG link in the top right corner of the main form, this will close the app and make it so that next time you launch the app you will be asked for language, but AGAIN this will only occur if you have more than 1 language option available (ie have at least 1 .lang file in the executable dir)
If you create any .lang and .png files, please kindly ZIP them up and email them to [email protected], I will them include them in the distribution CAB so that everyone has access to them.
The next thing to do is custom Birthdays / Anniversaries...
Cheers!
hey, one small problem for me:
program works fine, creates contacts. but in touchflo calender tab, i cant see these greyed out corners for days with a birthday.
tried to save the bithday appointments as all day as well as start from beginning of day.
when clicking on the date, i see the appointment in tf3d.
thanks in advance!
Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

aTrackDog / AppBrain

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Flyscreen
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
SMS backup
P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
Hello all,
I'm new to HTC and Sense as I got my first HTC only 14 days ago.I got issue with contacts sync with applications like Whatsapp and Viber.They don't read Facebook contacts phone numbers and don't add them into my friend list in these applications.I used to have Nexus S first with gingerbread than with ICS and in GB all worked perfectly.I tried to search XDA but I found some issues related to Sense 3.6 and other type of phones,but nothing about Sense 4.0 or HOX.Please could you help me out somehow? Thanks a lot in advance for answers.

I don't understand what you need. You want Viber/whatsapp to sync with Facebook contacts? If this is the case check under sync to make sure you have allowed FB contact sync. I think there is also an option somewhere in the FB app itself but I could be wrong.

Sorry if I didn't describe it right,but I mean these applications adds friends just from my Google contacts but not the Facebook contacts.And I have everything in sync allowed but it doesn't work.
Viber
Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
This option is not available through Viber, if your device contact list is synced with your FB account it will sync also to Viber.
If you have any question about Viber - please feel free to ask.

Hello,great to see that you are also on this forum and taking care of Viber users However,I still have a problem with this.I used to have gingerbread and there it worked perfectly but now I can't make it work.Everything is synced but Viber reads just my gmail contacts.
i read that a while ago, that facebook were closing access to their contact list, as in other apps couldn't read it, or something along those lines, or maybe it was that it couldn't be edited or something but it was a silly idea and nobody liked it lol.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
better explained there, you can't export them, they're stored in the cloud rather than on your device itself etc, i think this is the reason you can't use them in other apps.

yeah some apps can read the facebook contacts, ie htc sense - but the difference is that facebook doesn't use the android contacts api, so other apps that would normally read the contacts via the android api, can't actually see the facebook contacts, because technically they aren't part of the 'android contacts' (even though you as the user see them within the contacts/people app)

@strukef -
For more questions/doubts about Viber, please feel free to let us know.
Also, know that a new version of Viber, 2.2, is coming to Market soon, and will contain many improvements (including synchronization with the native contact list of ICS - but again, not the Facebook contacts).

Anybody else think that one of the new features is Viber crashing whenever signal is lost/regained?
I had the same problem with Whatsapp. Facebook Contacts snyced with HTC Facebook are blocked. So 3rd Party apps cant use them. But you can use Facebook Unlocker. The app isnt longer in the market but i will share it via dropbox.

Attention: You need a rooted device!
When you have unlocked your contacts, you will see also the FB pics in Whatsapp etc.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on the problem?
Have you made sure that the crash is linked to the signal being lost? And are you referring to 3G or WiFi signal?

I haven't been able to confirm it, I'm afraid, it's kind of a feeling, it's usually crashed when I switch the screen on. It happens multiple times a day. I've cleared data and reinstalled it, but no joy.
Does it use C2DM or GCM?

Viber uses C2DM in order to stay available.
Have you tested the brand new 2.2.2 update?
If the problem still persists with 2.2.2, please do let me know, and I'll redirect you to our Support Team.

I installed 2.2.2 and a few minutes later it crashed, but it has been fine since. I think it's fixed.
It's nice to hear that it works fine now
If the problem persists, please don't hesitate to let me know.
