AOL MyMobile BETA Download

Finally AOL got tornado back in business. Please note, I am including 2 cabs. One is for Tornado WM5, the other for WM6. They are not compatible with each other. So install the correct one for your version of WinMobile. Or you can download direct from AOL. Do notice that AOL website does not recognize T-Mobile SDA(tornado) as WM6, so if you download direct, it will download the WM5 which will freez you up.
Direct Download from AOL HERE

Hope you all enjoy. Thanks AOL!

Install "AOL MyMobile BETA" on device Memory.
After days testing this nice software I can add some notes:
It must be installed on Device Memory, not on SD card. At first it installs and works fine from SD card. But after first restart of phone, it will give error:
"An unexpected error has occurred in AEMAP.EXE. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information"
This error won't go away even if you uninstall and reinstall AOL MyMobile Beta. You would need to uninstall, and re-install, but install to Device Memory. Then it continues working w/o a problem.
Also, some of the Icons/Applications on the Horizontally Scrollable Menu, can be removed from the settings menu on the AOL HOME. I thought that was a sweet feature, not to force us to have what they want.
Regarding E-Mail, links are clicable, they open in IE. Attachments are listed, but can't open them. I tried with a PPS and a DOC.
I still don't understand the purpose of saving multiple locations to the Favorite Locations. I thought it would give us the option to switch weather view from one location to the other, but it wasn't so.
BUGS:
When in typing in a conversation and the program does a refresh of the window, It stops the typing. You'll end up using backspace to erase unwanted characters.
There is some sort of refresh happening, as while running the software, you'll see the Win Spinning icon, but at least for the AIM part, it doesn't refresh your contact list. However there is a Refresh option in the menu.
I couldn't find a place on the software to report bugs, suggestions, feedback, etc.

Warning: No AOL MyMobile for WM6.1
You can't download this from AOL if you have updated your device to wm6.1 as AOL's site doesn't recognize it as a supported device.
Save the cab on your PC's hard drive (or storage card) if you plan to upgrade to 6.1

Awesome! Finally an official AIM client for Windows Mobile!

Is there a Facebook fix for Manila 2.5 that really works

Hi,
is there a facebook fix that makes facebook really working on manila 2.6?
Basically on the ROM I'm using currently, it seems that contacts updates are partly working, and online album is not working.
I've seen the fix from Dutty, making online Album work, but contacts not working.
Anyone has a fix that supports facebook as intended?
Gescha

Contacts means what? Contacts updates are working on my rom, incl. photos from FB, but online albums not.
I'm running official rom.
Online albums are not running even after official fix from HTC.

Hi interresting that evewn the official ROM does not support the album.
When I'm talking on contacts, I'm refering to a fix Dutty provided for one of his ROMS (I think it was HolyGrail R6).
With this fix album worked, but the contacts didn't any more (So no user picture and status updates any more)
(With this fix dutty replaced the facebookSDK.dll)

GeScha,
There is a thread about Facebook tab for 2.5.
I installed it, but it didn't work for me as I have too many manila tweaks (CHT) so it didn't work, but from a fresh flash it is supposedly working.

Hi Bruce,
this creates the facebook tab. I use it as well, and it works fine on LueMeiYins Yin7. I also use Cookies 1.7.1
The facebooktab lists basically all status messages that are in the contacts. AS it uses basically the manila features from contacts, it does not improve the general troubles with facebook (but it also does not cause any unknown or new ones.)
So still online album is not working. But seems that it is not working as well on the stock rom and therefore I have less hope that there is a fix for this.
Gescha

Hi,
you'r right, it's not working on stock rom as well (on HD2, the situation is the same).
HTC make a fix for it (available on www.htc.com), but unfortunately this fix doesn't fix it (.

It works on mine. But now I find it annoying to have all email contacts mixed up together with my phone contacts in my contact list. The emails contacts was updated by Facebook tab. I'm going thru a tedious work deleting email contacts. Anyone have ideas to sort this out or seperating email contacts and phone contacts?

the album download will take ages if it contain large number of pictures e.g more than 10.

Try this, I have it installed and it seems to work well...

This one (T-Back) fixed the Facebook Albums issue (no thumbnails, and timer icon instead of actual pictures) for me. A separate fix is required for the 'Events and Updates' tab in contacts. I used one called Facebook-Ather.cab from these forums somewhere

[Q] Facebook replacing my Google pictures automatically when I don't want it to!

How do I get my HTC Incredible (w/ Froyo 2.2) on Verizon to stop overriding my pictures? I want my contacts "linked" to their Facebook profile, but I want to use the picture that I have selected and not the one that Facebook feels I should be using without warning.
I am very anal about my profile pictures and have selected nice pics for everyone in my book. I have went in to each profile picture and selected my Google picture (my personal selected picture) and the contact picture becomes my picture. No problem...
I open my contacts sometime in the near future (day/less than a day) and magically some (not all) random contacts revert back to the Facebook picture without warning!
This is making me utterly crazy! Does anyone have any idea how to get this to stop?!?
I have tried:
Unlinking the facebook profile, saving, updating picture, saving, relinking to facebook, saving.
Screaming loudly
Searched every thread known to man with no look (if you know where the answer is, please point me there! PLEASE!)
Rebooted
This was happening before Froyo as well, so this is an existing problem for a while I suppose.

I honestly don't think there's a way to stop this. Atleast I never found one.
A workaround would be to not allow Sense to sync your Facebook contacts.

The whole point of his post though was he wants the contacts linked with their Facebook profiles, just doesn't want the picture switched on him when he's already selected one he likes.
I really feel where you're coming from OP, this has been driving me nuts for awhile now. I think it's an HTC Sense UI issue though. At least, that's what I have gathered from other forums/posts.

The thing which did work for me - open the contact main page, then press the link icon, then a new screen will pop up, there is a slider next to the picture, click on it and it will let you chose a picture. I needed to do it a couple of times so just do it 2-3 times if it doesn't come up the first time

[Q] Contact Photos from Facebook

Does anyone know whether contacts on the One S that are linked to Facebook and using the profile picture, should have their pictures updated when the Facebook profile picture is updated?
Status updates seem to work, but pictures don't as far as I can tell.
I've tried searching for this problem and there seems to have been a lot of issues when Facebook changed their security options, but that was ages ago. There also seem to be a lot of solutions involving the "Facebook for HTC sense" account, but that doesn't seem to exist in the version of Sense on the One S.
How does it work now? Do the updates come from the Facebook account created when you sign in to Friendstream or to the official Facebook app?
Any help would be appreciated.
Alex

Anyone?
Does anyone actually have the Facebook contact photos updating? Or doe it simply not work?
Alex

Have you tried HaxSync yet? Cool thing about it is that it totally keeps quietly in the background, you can set when it should pull the HD contact pics from Facebook for synchronisation and (one option I really enjoy) it is capable of syncing the birthdays of your phone contacts which will then be integrated into the contact itself as well as your phone calendar. You wanna have status updates, too? Oh, it syncs them as well... ;-)
SecUpwN

HaxSync looks good, especially for non-Sense ROMs, but why do I have to pay for an app to do something that surely is meant to be part of Sense.
Also, how do they work together? If I use HaxSync to sync my contacts how do I stop it from conflicting with Sense's contact sync. Also, where do status updates appear? In Friendstream? In the contact itself?
How are contacts paired with the Facebook contact? Does it use the same mechanism as Sense does?
Alex
PS Back to my original question, has anyone got profile pictures updating using Sense?

Mine are updating, but not instantly even with autosync turned on.
In my case profile pictures that are linked with my contacts updated only after i entered facebook application and friends section.

That doesn't seem to help for me. Even pressing the sync button from within the Facebook App doesn't help.
I've also noticed another problem, which makes me wonder if the contact picture syncing is actually a Facebook issue; messages in my news feed in the Facebook app have the correct profile pictures, but if I look in the Friends list, some have old pictures.

If that is the case it could very well be a problem with facebook itself as you said.
Try to un-sync some random contact with a picture that didn't update itself and then link it to facebook again manually, see if that brings out a new current profile picture of that particular contact.

I've tried that before and it does work, but it's not a real solution.
I thought I'd give HaxSync a go anyway and it does seem to work quite well. The contact pictures are certainly higher resolution. Installing it also seems to have caused the Sense Facebook account to update all its pictures too. I'm not sure why that would happen.
However the pictures shown on the friends tab of the Facebook app are still incorrect. It's not as if some of them are recent changes either, at least a couple were changed weeks ago and they haven't updated.
I'll have to wait and see now what happens when a friend updates their picture. I expect the HaxSync version of the image to update, but the Sense version not to.
Weird

You have to edit the build.prop in system, I made a post somewhere on what to change in order to remove the legal restriction. I'll find it and edit this post when I get to a computer.
EDIT: I know this is part of what is causing the clickable links from contacts to be handled differently, your more than welcome to read the article but in a short summary Apple suid HTC over having direct linking from contacts to other account based links ( It's owned by Apple which means HTC had to comply in order to be able to sell the devices but here you go. I didn't find this but I did figure out how to get it to work for our device as it's in the build.prop differently. This will stop pics from adding to your contacts via facebook, thanks to apple!
I posted this fix over there as well but in Root Explorer go to "system/build.prop" and make sure to tap the box on the top right corner of the screen to "R/W" other wise this won't work, now copy the build.prop file to your download folder in "sdcard" and rename it ("build.prop.bak") for safe keeping and follow the instructions I posted below.
On line:"34" from the top of (system/build.prop)there is the first line named : "ro.da1.enable=true" make this line false and add the second line: "ro.da1.method=false" .
Now go to the bottom where it is listed as: "ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES" the third line is the same as above "ro.da1.enable=true"
so change this one also and add the second line again.
It should look like this:
ro.da1.enable=false
ro.da1.method=false
"ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES"
ro.da1.enable=false
ro.da1.method=false
Link posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27198692#post27198692 as posted this is for US consumers as this is passed legally here against HTC for linked contacts restrictions.

I'm confused. Are you saying that the mechanism for updating Facebook contact pics is controlled by the same booleans in build.prop as clickable links in SMSs? Does that mean that contact pics don't work at all for US users without making these changes.
Clickable links in SMS work fine for me (I'm in the UK), and contact pictures work the first time the account is added, but the problem is that they don't update when someone changes their profile picture.

[Q] Picture upload to Facebook is always set to private/only me

Hey.
When i upload pictures via pictures hub directly to facebook nobody can see it.
The standard setting is only me. I changed microsoft under settings @ facebook to friends but this does not fixed it.
does anyone else have this problem (and know how to fix it)?
this problem is not permanent. it worked a while but since a few months i have to manually change who can see it.

Hi! For me this works perfectly.
You might want to try changing the settings of the "Mobile Uploads"- Album on the facebook website.. maybe the album is set to private by default.
Furthermore you could check your privacy Settings on the Facebook Website, you might find something over there,
Cheers

Hello i had the same problem and posted it here to the forum. i solved it on facebook, first go to your profile and search there for "Windows Phone", facebook named it "app", here is the link, it work i think only if you turn of https for the setup, after that you can turn it on again.
https://apps.facebook.com/7933375107/ i have it now on https security and it says https is not supported by i setup the "app" "Windows Phone" on facebook to post in my name and to share it only with my friends.
The second place where you should look is in the profile options, there should be a section (overall options, security, notifications, abo., and then "apps") under app try to find something where you can change i think it is under the name "Microsoft" and there under "post in your name and so on. enable this and at the bottom of this "Microsoft" (App) should be "who sees my posts" you select what you want there. thats because of restrictions from facebook, but Microsoft i heard never talked about it, but many people complain about that.
That should solve your problem, if you post via the "Me hub"
