HTC HD2 Facebook Application - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

the facebook application i have is version 1.007 and its utterly rubbish, is there a newer version if not will there be a newer one soon?
if there is a better application where can i get it from?
it says on windows market place that the current facebook app is version 1.1 so i installed it, then it asks me to restart the phone but then when i load up facebook its still version 1.007.
thankyou

Mine also says 1.007 after the update, but I can see that the application itself has changed since the update. There are some options available now, that wasn't before I upgraded...
So my guess is, that it's in fact 1.1 even though it says it's still 1.007.
I don't know what you think is rubbish about the application itself, I think it's quite okay considered it being a "light-app"...

Mobile friendly site was better than this poor app.
Try this with Opera http://touch.facebook.com

i hate the facebook app because the notifications part doesnt work :\

thanks for everyone's answers, really helpful x

Or you could install the Sony Ericssons X2 Panel Manager and the Facebook panel... it's by far the best Facebook app on the device!

Thanks for alternative facebook links.
lite.facebook.com worked perfectly!

the lite site doesn't let you post comments unless you've already commented on them. not entirely sure why. I just wish microsoft would get their ass in gear and give the facebook app a radical overhaul : with no live feed, only one comment showing and a very badly thought out user interface it makes the user experience about as pleasant to use as a skipping rope made of razor wire.

just go to www.facebook.com on OPERA
tada~!

January '10:
Found out today that Windows Mobile Non-Touchscreen has a Facebook 1.2 released.
This is shortly to be released on Touchscreen WM6.5. It looks a lot better!
I just wish someone would rip the iPhone / iPod Facebook App and make it WM ... its so smooth and does everything!!!

Problem is that the Facebook API (public) doesn't allow authentication through a mobile application.. only Windows Apps or Web-sites. And you also get some reduced functionality when using it on a mobile.. Guess Microsoft got som extra treatment from Facebook to release the app....
If they would open up the API more for mobile apps, I'm sure we'd see all kinds of facebook apps bubbling up to the surface.

i too am waiting for a decent app that lets me "like" and comment and view comments ect. the best iv founx so far is FIM from mosko mobi its a fb chat client with a simple fb mobile browser built it but the best bit is that any notifications pop up in htc's notification bar (when the apps running ofcourse) its not the best app in the world but it will do till winmo gets one liks the iphone. hope this helps

SO yeah, this X2 Facebook app is much better, and super smooth. Smoother than the iPhone one I think. And it looks quite nice too

It is one reasons id love a blackberry like the storm b/c of the "always on" facebook and the interface. I dont understand why people dont develop more for windows mobile. Its not like they dont push phones like the touch pro. The ones they have now look like they are from 1996 with the graphics.

this is a very closed alpha/proof of concept and no one on the HD is benefiting yet , trust me.
Also I dont wish to use the overrated Xperia panel system on my phone, I just want an official facebook app that I and ALL OTHER Windows Mobile users no matter what device they have, can use.
Now the way I see it, the facebook panel on xperia is pretty much a windows mobile app, and as such should be able to run on any other windows mobile device (with at least VGA screen I suppose.. hence my reward, I cant do it myself, but im sure someone here can, there would be so many grateful WM users too
Snap2face
Hello.
I haven't Snap2face tried myself too much (just downloaded last night!) , and so far it seems to work fine. It's freeware. I'll keep on trying it, and I'd also like to hear from other users opinion.

After I log in on Opera mobile it takes me to the normal 'm.facebook' page?
Just tried Snap2Face or Skybook as its now called...seems pretty good for a standalone app. Probably not as polished as the other version though.
I'm sorry, but I do not consider 'snap2face' or 'skybook' a viable solution. Its slow, its buggy, it has a terrible,terrible layout (icons are often tiny on anything above a QVGA screen) and it makes a mess of its cache.
Can I ask the developers in here.. is there a REASON why the xperia facebook panel cannot be simply extracted and converted into a stand alone app?

Hahahaa. Facebook.
As in your previous thread (started a few months back), everyone is trying to tell you that Windows Mobile devices have more advanced features (of course, no Facebook). So if the only thing you are concerned of is Facebook, well... you could always get an iPhone.
Oh, by the way, then you'll be complaining about unable to send MMS, forward SMS, copy text in SMS, and ect... oh well... you're going to bombard me next.
PS: If I'm a developer, the moment I read your first post in this thread, I'll just ignore you. Maybe you should rephrase your sentences so that people (including developers) feel the need of Facebook application. This way, maybe someone out there would offer his/her help.

No you miss my point. The difference is that we DO have a WM version now.. the xperia facebook panel. No iphone required. I am urging devs on here to merely find a way to convert that panel into a standalone app for all WM users to enjoy.

email client skin or theme?

Hi
Does anyone know if it's possible to install a theme or skin, or possibly a manila add-on which would sexy-up the WM email client? I'm not talking about Flexmail or Profimail (they look like a step backwards - pocket pc, get out yer stylus).
I'm talking about a cosmetic dress up of the existing client (which I use with MS exchange for work, and hotmail for personal) to make it look more in keeping with the Sense UI, or what we've seen for WP7 or even (gasp!) the email client on the iphone.
I've tried searching, but all that comes up is flexmail (yuck!).
It's strange, all the messing about with themes, manila etc, but the email app is something I use probably more than any other on my phone and yet it hasn't fundamentally changed in 10 years. Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.
Stoatie ...
no-one, really?
Bump!
Totally agree with this... a new Email skin would be a nice addition to our handsets

Well it is possible to skin the mail and SMS tabs on your HD2s, but unfortunatly what you are asking for is impossible if you dont want to have a new app or something similar

believe me I have taken a look into it. You can easily modify the appearance of your mail and sms tab. There are like 30-40 manila files that can be changed. But the problem is, that these changes wont affect the general behaviour like having speech bubbles or something like that. They would only change some little icons and maybe two or three other little visual gimicks but nothing more.
To achieve anything like the screenshots I saw in your link you would either have to write a new mailing or messaging app or change the way windows mobile 6.5(.x) behaves in general and I dont know anyone who is actually able to do that. Might be that Cookie was able to do that, but since he is no longer available for this kind of work, I think that you will have to come to peace with your current mailing or messaging tabs

once again !! I dont think you are getting the point !
I am not talking about the HTC Sense TABS like the messaging and email but instead I am talking about the default Email Client that has been there with us since Windows Mobile 6.
I had a talk with another developer and according to him...his skin also skinned the default Windows Mobile SMS app as well as the Email client.
Somewhat like this.

For some reason both of those downloads failed. The link you provided in quotes is also for version 4.0.1. I am very eager to try this!
Edit: Got them to download, loving the overall speed on this thing! I already uninstalled Dolphin Browser xD
The personas add-on is awesome! You have to navigate to the mozilla site to install them though.
Is that picture a screenshot of the app? Mine looks absolutely nothing like that.

I only mentioned 4.0.1 because that was the version on the site you linked to. I've actually got the 5.0b7 running on there now. You can download the app from Mozillas site if you are concerned with security, or cut straight to the official market link.

So I still don't know why my Firefox mobile looks like a re-skinned Dolphin Browser and yours looks like it does OP. Is that an addon or perhaps a setting in preferences?
I've been a Firefox desktop user for years and have been anxious to try the mobile version, but there's still no support for ARMv6 processors, sadly. Anyone know if this is coming, or am I left in the dust until I upgrade next January?

you are completely right, lots of apps allow you to connect to facebook and read chat messages. The best thing about this app is that its an official application from facebook, so theres more likely to be less bugs as they know their own system and API's better than anyone else, also any new features for messaging and chat are more than likely gonna show up in their official app before they do on any third party one.

seriously if people spent half the time being ignorant to actually know what they 're talking about, 50% of human stupidity would magically vanish.
its abit like the fact that facebook itself wasnt available out of the university it was created in until they had it running right, ther for they are obviously testing it in america before making it a worldwide app... seems like a gd app could do with a few tweeks tho... thanks for the share most interestin...
I don't see how this is official... The logo is Messenger. That's totally not Facebook.
Also, I've tested with MarketEnabler for various countries and with none of them have I found Facebook Messenger, letalone an official-looking one.
Prove to me that it's official and I might give it my details.
Also, asking for an email address and password instead of using Facebook Connect?
I smell a rat.
Seems legit, downloaded from market. I am a us resudent and everthing about it is legit, uses facebook logon and thats it.

Yes facebook is the publisher
Alright, this should settle any doubts.
I was skeptical that it was worthy of dl'ing if I already have the normal Facebook app...but I dig it. It's nice to Log Out of the Facebook Official and just use the messenger.

How come it isnt possible with Market Enabler?
I tried Verizon US and TMOUS
Hey 96edwy, nice find dude.... does this work well phone to phone/phone to comp? i tried go! chat for facebook the other day, but seemed to get no reply from anyone lol, go! shows whos online and stuff though but meh :/
he sent a link to the official facebook page and people still thought it was fake.
*rolls eyes*
some people need to get a grip ha ha
I think whatsapp still beats it...
It does sounds more like huddle from google+.
why separate?
why did fb release this as a separate app? shouldn't this just replace the messaging part of the regular fb app?
m.
For those people who cant seem to find it with market enabler,
1. try market access.
2. the new market(the one with the black background) does not show the apps which are not available for your country, even though it show the currency symbol according to the country selected in enabler(or access).
Work around is here

I use a simple method, which works very well, and so far has not had a down side:
1) Using Titanium Backup (Or another app that lets you do this) either Freeze (Paid app) or Backup, then delete Market Update (Free App)
2) Go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, and scroll down to market, and select
3) Uninstall updates from Market
This is very easy to do, and you may be able to use other freeze or backup apps to achieve the same result. Also note, no reboot required.

After getting old market back, use market enabler(access), select any US carrier and search for facebook messenger.
P.S. one simple way to see if your new market is showing the blocked apps is to search for some popular app which is blocked in your country like pandora. It will show up in search suggestions but not in search result...
P.S.2 I hope this is clear.

App seems nice. It could be interesting to have a widget instead of opening app and I don't like when then text couldn't fit the page that you link to the site to read the rest of the news.

So I think it should have a scrollable text view for the facts so that I don't have to link to the website?
A widget for "your daily fact" is an awesome idea, thanks for that!

Yes I was meaning that
The idea is pretty good, a widget would make it great !
Even more with the new DayDram mode on Android 4.2 you could have your facts randomly displayed when the devices are docked or charging.
Could be fun.

Done that and updated the app. I will try to come up with a widget options soon!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Can any one please download it and try it out. I am sorry I had to ask this, there has been some issues after the latest update. It would be greatly appreciated if you can check it opens on your mobile.
I just wanted to know whether this is happening for new installations!
This is the video promo I created for this app. Hope you guys like it!

The app or the video I just created?
What do you think about the new updates and the cool facts I have added to the app?
I could use some more feedback to improve the app!
Somebody please help me and give me more ideas!
Did a UI improvement, let me know your thoughts!
Nice work
Cool Facts App just ahad a major UI revamp and now supports a lot more compared to the previous version.
Some updated functionalities include:
* Report false facts
* Copy the fact to clipboard and use/share it wherever you want!
Hope you like it, let me know your suggestions!
Force closes when I press "copy to clipboard" but other than that, cool.
Personally, if I were you, I would add a possibility to hide all the buttons at the buttom of screen for users who wouldn't use them. Maybe make the text a bit smaller (it's bigger on my 2.3.7 Gingerbread than on your screenshots, though) and maybe make the text "justify aligned" (I'm a bit fan of "justify alignment", lol)... Just some tips to make the app look a bit more simplistic, maybe.

Thanks a lot for the feedbacks!
I think I can include a button to toggle the visibility of all the buttons! that would be okay right?
I think the clipboard function is making the error because of your older version. I think I will have to check the version on which the app is running and then decide whether or not to show the button!

Possibly.
Make a text size adjuster too, if you can .. and maybe center allign the text if "justify" is not possible in Androd (I dont think it is).
Just some tips
Added button to disable all the buttons!
Let me know how do you like the new update!
I like facts, so I like this app . It is also a bit addicting searching for new facts which are more or less useful to know .
