Manila Facebook Tab - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
Sorry if this has been asked and is a really obvious answer, but I've used the search function and I can find things saying "Yeah, great idea", but nothing that has actually been done to download and installed.
I've got an HTC HD2/Leo and I'm looking for a Facebook tab for the Sense/Manila 2.5 interface. A friend of mine said there is a mod available, but I just can't find it anywhere!
Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks

never heard of it, but it sure will be nice to have it

only twitter tab

Never seen such a tab and dont know how effective it would really be..

I think it would be awesomely effective. I don't use twitter but I can totally see the benefit of the tab. I'd like to check my friends' updates like I check my text messages. The integration with my contacts is excellent, but I'm left craving more interaction. I'm still a little surprised that this hasn't been implemented before now by the OEM directly.
Anyway, add my +1 to this request. Snoogans.

I must confirm, that the first HD2 divice I had, really integrated FB in manila tabs. The second which I bought from T-mobile (after sending the first back as the second was better "deal"), unfortunatelly did not. Nor have any WM upgrade such tab involved since then. So I am also wandering if it would be possible to find it at least officially. And as e.g. the TV can be integrated in Manila (which is result of XDA inventions, I think it must be possible to solve the problem otherwise as well.
Thanks for help too.

XDA newbie

Hi all, these PDA gadgets is all new to me so I thought I would start with something quite cheap (in case I am too thick and cannot follow)..
So I got this XDA but i can't really find any use with it.. Most webpages i come across saying that its in-compatible and also the pre-loaded MSN messenger saying that it won;t work with that version( then why on earth is that pre-installed?) also the webmessenger again is not working... nor the ICQ... So.. what exactly can i do with it??
bit fustrating really..
Sorry if my questions have been covered but doing a search and seems that everything is too techy like different ROM and things that I do not seemto understand too well..
Thanks in advance..
ms have a update of messenger which is required
to be installed because the version of messenger in the rom
is OLD
re webbrowser.
Use a new browser, ou multie or tweak2k to change broswer's 'id' so it's seen as internet explorer for compatibility.

hmmmm.. ok ... cheers for the info.. now the next question is.. How and what do i need to update??
which Rom can help me to browse?? Also i guess there is no way out about the messenger then.,...??
thank you
as i said ms have an update you have to run to get messenger working
if you get a newer rom it may not be necessary though
can you tell me if that update is downloadable and where??
or what is the version called?
thank you so much

Once upon a time...Remote Desktop?

Hiya Guys,
I used to use an application (freeware) that enabled me to view the screen of my PDA on my computer whilst it was synced, I also used to be able to make changes on the PDA using the keyboard on the computer too! Which was so much easier for creating new contacts etc.
Can anyone here remember what it was called and where I can find it again.? I'v searched but cant seem to find it!
Only down side is it now has to WM5 Compatible.
Thanks for your help guys, look forward to hearing from someone soon.

You are a star! Exactly what I was after. Cheers
njcoussell - you might want to change the topic title to show that the problem has been solved.
There are a few other apps that do this as well... but the MS one is good enough I think.

Love TF3D but I miss my WM Today screen

Been using TF3D on Energy Warhark ROM for my Raphael. I like TF3D now that it works (in the non-stock ROM). But - I miss today screen on WM. Specifically - I need to see my tasks list often and I also like SPB insight runing. Anyone know how to switch fast between manila and WM Today w/o tediously going to setting tab? Or better yet, a tweak for manila for tasks tab?
what you can do is find the "search" link on top and use it.
Look for Manila Detacher. There's a newer app like it in the raph software forum, but I can't remember the name. There's also the Manla Today Tab, but it may not work on that version of Manila.

Second Today is another ap.
You can configure it to run TF3D and set one of your soft keys to Second Today and you can toggle between interfaces.
I run this also in conjunction with SPB Mobile Shell, on the other soft key just to show off....

Facebook Chat on HD2

This one goes to all the windows phone newcomers who are looking for a way to use facebook chat on their new HTC LEO / HD2, which lacks from both native winmo facebook app, and HTC Sense facebook integration.
The software name is FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger) and beside the fb chat it integrates many of the core facebook features like status feed, notifications, photo post, and pretty much everything else via Facebook's mobile site.
Most important is that the software is finger friendly and I'm using it myself on HD2, so later I will post a video of the software on HD2 for those who still consider buying this awesome device.
You can find the rest of the details here
You can also download it directly on your device by navigating to http://get.mosko.mobi
will give it a go
Good job

excellent app, congrats
fantastic app! best facebook app ive used on the HD2 yet! thank you!!!
does not work on 3G -1
How much is this likely to kill the battery if it was left running in the background?
I'm fairly sure it was Palringo that gave me my battery issues when I first got the HD2.
While we're talking about Facebook app on HD2, how come i can't see my thumbs of my uploaded pictures? Is this a setting somewhere or just a bug?
Thank you very much, been looking for exactly this.......
I am trying to dl this, but it looks like the website is down?
same here, seems broken? anyone got the cab?
great ap though it does drain the battery got a percentage icon running and you can see it counting down
Site seems to be working again!
Hi, excellent app! love it. BUT......
...95% of the time when I open fim and try to sign in it fails to connect and pops up with the message "Failed using the internet connection. Try to restart your data connection". This is on my HD2 which I've only had for a few days and it's also my first winmo so I'm a complete noob. It doesnt matter how many times I turn on/off wifi it makes no difference and I get the same error both on my wifi at home and at work so I'm a bit baffled - especially as it does occasionally work first try.
If anyone can point me in the direction of where I'm going wrong I will be eternally grateful lol.
Cheers,
Matt
Thanks a lot for this, it's a damn shame the official Facebook app totally sucks compared to the iPhone version which allows for so much more. It's small things like this that make the whole device user experience suck. It's not HTC's fault.

Hi all, +1 for the same problem. but i'm not a complete noob and not in wifi.
edit: I may have found the solution "Incorrect Email/Password Combination": but you are positively sure you entered everything correctly? well, if you have special characters in your email or password replace them. only numbers, English letters and of course @ at the email allowed, also keep in mind that facebook passwords are case sensitive."

Swype from 2.07 rom required

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.
