Problem with connection to facebook (spb 3.5.1) - General Questions and Answers

I have install spb 3.5.1 and i have tried several times to get some pictures from facebook for my contacts.
My connection to internet is ok, but i cannot connect to facebook. Any idea?

hmm dunno, seems to work absolutely fine for me.......have u installed any widgets pack or something extra besides the actual copy of ms?

I've been having the same problem, I even tried connecting with wifi, reinstalling spb, and soft resets but nothing works.

I also have the same problem. I have had it connect only twice. The rest of the time not only will it not connect but when I press the cancel button it hangs the device...

I have the same issue. I can connect fine on the device (opera or IE) but MS won't connect to Facebook for the contact pic.

Having the exact same problem, tried installing a different version, soft reset, changing default browser. I was able to connect just fine right when i installed it, but then a couple hours later i tried to change status and grab a couple more contact photos and i could no longer sign in.
Using a treo 750 btw
nevermind....it totally works now, and i havent changed anything since my last try.........

Same problem, not solved :/

Moved as not theme release.

Faria WM6 connectivity issue

I posted this earlier in another forum, but I think it got buried and lost.
I upgraded to Faria's WM6 successfully. Everything works great except it keeps reconnecting to tmobile data every 7 seconds. This started after I reset my wizard. I reflashed the ROM, everything worked again, but as soon as I reset, the connectivity deal started again.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Issue continued
With some registry edits, I can get it to stay connected, but now I can't get connected to messenger. I can use the internet but it won't connect to messenger.
Strange...
More
Ok, the registry wasn't any help to the constant reconnecting. I set windows live to sync manually. I just reset it to sync "as items arrive," and it began connecting constantly as before. Even if I change the frequency that windows live wants to sync (even to manual now), it keeps reconnecting every 7 seconds.
Back to square one. It seems to be an issue with windows live. There must be some setting that gets changed when I reset my device. It works if I reflash the WM6 ROM, but I really don't want to do that each time I have to reset or turn off my device.
are you paying for the full internet service? if not, then that is why messanger doesnt work. The free net deal is gone.
Yes, I do have the data package. Each time I reflash it works fine until I reset the device. Pretty frustrating.

ActiveSync Problem

I am having a problem with ActiveSync on my phone an Orange M700 running the HTC P3600 ROM. It was working with no problems until a few weeks ago when it stopped syncing. I have tested the laptop with another PPC and ActiveSync notices it straight away.
I have installed ActiveSync 4.5 to no avail so I returned to 4.2 and still nothing. I deleted all partnerships in both the phone and the laptop and when I plugged it back in the Windows saw the device as there was a pop up bubble in the bottom right corner but ActiveSync never kicked in.
I have had a look at the ActiveSync settings in the M700 but everything looks fine to me.
I have also been having problems with my 3G connection not connecting and doing the regular syncs it normally does e.g. my personal mail every 5 mins, my yahoo mail every hour and the weather every 2 hours. The only thing that has changed in this time is that I installed Fring, I can't imagine its related but I uninstalled Fring just in case but still no luck.
Anyone got any ideas how to fix it as I have some new appointments (I'm not sure which ones) in my PDA which I want to get synced before messing around with hard resets etc.
Thanks
Did you delete any notifications of any kind, usually replog files? If YES, then you just deleted your notification to activate Active Sync on your computer. You can solve that easily by returning the file. READ this for the solution: http://www.cs.pitt.edu/~jmisurda/ppc/blog/index.php?entry=entry051203-201515

I don't think I did that but I tried the file anyway, still no joy. I think my phone is also vibrating when I plug it into the PC now, very strange.

Have you ever used Check Notifications? It is a free software to clear away JUNK notifications.
Link: http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/cn_overview.html
Sometimes, our PPC just creates duplicates of certain Notifications that can cause conflicts with some softwares. Maybe this is what is happening in your device. You can try and download Check Notifications, even though it says it is only compatible with WM 2003, I use it for my HTC Universal (WM5). Just go to Check Notifications settings and tick the 3 choices, run it and CLEAR those pesky bugs.

Right I ticked the three boxes and cleared the issues but still nothing
Normally I'd just hard reset but I am worried about losing appointments I've forgotten I have made since my last sync.

I don't know what else to suggest.
If you do decide to HARD RESET, take a look at this FREE BABKUP program for contacts and calendar events: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705&highlight=backup
I hate doing hard resets myself, that is why I have SPB Backup configured to do automatic backups everyday at 5AM.
Good Luck...

Thanks for your help.
I'm not sure how I am going to progress this. My major issue is that we use GroupWise at work with a third party app to allow the PocketPCs to sync with it. When you set it up it blanks the device before you can do anything, if I wait and import everything after this it usually can't cope with the levels of changes and kills the system on the server.
Oh joy, why wasn't someone looking at the "bigger picture" when we choose an e-mail system.....

iFonz very slow / crashing

I think I've put this in the right place, but Mods please feel free to move it if I haven't.
My O2 XDA Ignito (HTC Touch Diamond in a different housing) has worked perfectly with iFonz for many months. I'm on version 1.1.2. I am very, very happy with iFonz and would not want to go back to TouchFlo which is nowhere near as good.
Yesterday, iFonz suddenly started operating extremely slowly. I thought I had crashed, but in fact it responds to commands but takes anything from 15 seconds to over a minute to do so. Until then, it has been virtually instantaneous.
The first command I issue after it's been left for some time will work as normal, but if I open (say) the PI Calendar, then close that - the nothing else will work for about 15 seconds after the keypress.
The only change I know about is that I had a problem with ActiveSynch to a new desktop installation (the familiar 0x86000107 problem) which I fixed in the usual way by deleting and reinstalling the pairing. Activesync worked fine after that.
I have S2U2 running - but that's always been there.
I noticed from the time I first installed iFonz that it would not update its header bar for several seconds after starting, but everything else worked OK.
Can anyone suggest a cause or a fix? I'm reluctant to uninstall and reinstall because I've set up 4 pages of icons and don't want to lose all that work.
I never used iFonz but i'm pretty sure the settings are kept somewhere so you can export them and not have to set everything up from the beginning. I always suggest uninstalling to check what causes the problem.
Thank you. Indeed, that is what I would have expected. I've searched the machine carefully, and found the iFonz software but no settings file.
I've PMed the author, and meanwhile I've taken iFonz off the startup list and running Touchflo instead. I don't like it anything like as much as iFonz, but it works.
Well, there's been no reply from the author, and everything I've tried (including uninstall and reinstall) has made no difference. Sad, because I liked iFonz.

Please tell me how to fix the above a bit more specifik...
I don't understand what you mean by: "pairing"
"Pairing" is setting up the ActiveSync connection between the PDA/phone and the PC so that they will synchronise when you connect them.
If you get the error, you have a problem. I fixed mine for a few months, but then the problem came back worse, and the fixes that used to work stopped. Basically, I don't think ActiveSync is capable of doing the job reliably. It deleted all my contacts (losing me a load of names and addresses that I needed and couldn't recover). I threw it out some time ago.
I now use an iPhone which doesn't have any of those problems.

Some application cannot access network

Hi all,
I have got a really weird problem. Some application, such as QuickGPS, Youtube (Google's app), SPB TV, Windows Live Messenger Mobile can't access the network. Some other apps are not affected, such as Internet Explorer, Opera 8.65.
I don't want to reinstall everything since it takes quite long. I think I probably modified registry or installed some stuff and that has caused the problem. I can't figure out what I have done wrong.
Any ideas?
wifi ?
gprs ?
I would look how the settings were set in settings->connections-Connections-advanced-select network
and try changing them
Wifi and Activesync, Windows Mobile 6.1. The top box in that tab is set to the Internet, the bottom box is set to the work network. I tried to change them, it didn't help. Now Google Map doesn't work neither.
It says:
Error: wininetHTTPError [0 2]
A soft-reset does solve the problem, but I have to reinstall all my apps...I am very reluctant to do that.

Soft-reset does not delete any installation. I've done many times. But you probably meant to say hard-reset instead!

Sorry that's what I meant. I think I am going to go for a hard reset later on, if nobody finds a solution.

does that include photo sync?
I've got the same problem with new contacts from facebook...the old ones seem to work...
Yep. Both photo contact sync and album sync are working. The latter sometimes shows empty pages but after waiting for a while and trying again, I can see all the pics of my contacts
Sorry, but just how to sync facebook with contacts ? I cant seem to find the key to get it to sync.
solved!
I've solved it now!!
It was actually a problem with the data connection.
Its weird because it was working fine for updating people's statuses....
anyways when i checked the connections tab in manila settings, the data was disconnected and when i tried to switch it on, it took me to a random page.
then, when I touched the data connection bit, it gave me the option to set it up, so i chose o2 and ok then it set it up then switched on data.
after that, synced again and everything went swimmingly.
Hope that helps anyone having the same issue
still doesnt work here... I've disabled my providers data connection and only connect through wifi and I have no pictures of my contact from facebook. it worked just fine in older versions but now it doesnt... any suggestions?
Works fine here.
For all those its not working, did you do a Hard Reset after flashing the ROM?
Hope you've NOT restored your contacts etc. via a previous backup.
in my last rom (1.48wwe), after a while...or after some modding...fb album sync didn't work anymore, despite no data services problems. I could sync everythin but fb album in ppl tab never worked. so..I think it was some cab or modding, solved with hard reset
