yes i did have that, i was asking if i post my status why in facebook it didnt show like "from my HTC" whereas iphone has "from iPhone" everytime the status is changed.

HTC users are not flashy like iphone users

use opera
http://m.facebook.com for the simple design and more advance version
and
http://iphone.facebook.com for the simple apple user minded version
both are mobile friendly and dont show all the f***ing apps
also work in a normal browser

alright thanks

also http://lite.facebook.com is my personal favourite, works fine in opera and is just like the full facebook but without the apps

HTC should make FaceBook App

I deactivated my Facebook account because I didn't have time to use it and the microsoft facebook on my phone wasn't the best (why leave information up on a site that you don't have time to check/change?).
If HTC develops a Facebook app or a tab for the HD2 in the awesome way they do things, I probably will start facebook again.

I agree. I'm not hating or anything, but facebook has a much broader use than Twitter and it would be nice to be able to communicate people who actually matters to you rather than following some celeb or industry giant (be it Paris Hilton or Peter Chou).

if you check the topaz and rhodium threads you'll find htc have a facebook app just not like the twitter tab. its integrated into your contacts if you have a search you'll find out more. also if you go to x.faceboom.com you can access it via opera and it looks like the iphone version

I dont have either phone (TD2 or Pro2)... TF3D allows you just to check status of that particular contact... am I right so far??? also it will not allow you to comment etc.. on that status.
But what most of us will like is some something similar to the twitter tab, a complete status update of all your friends (most recent) and allows you to comment etc.. without the need to open an app or a browser... wishfull thinking maybe

HTC shouldn't be doing anything now except getting the WM6.5 rom for the Diamond 2 released.

yep. like i said though. best bet so far is the mobile site atm. the x.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook version.
ps it seems microsoft have updated the facebook app on marketplace. I check the version numbers of both and the new one is 1.1 but they both look the same to me

I just tried it in mini opera 4.2, and it's not recognizing the address. Is the domain still live?

I just was on it but I was using Opera Mobile.. give that a go

Consider fring. It has a facebook add-in (although I don't use it so can't recommend). I do like fring for voip and integrating social networking functions in one place, though. Try it, you might like it.

Facebook notifications

ok coming from a blackberry to Android I have to say the Facebook app sucks when ever I get a notification ,yes it appear but it doesn't notify me on a comment and when I do open it it opens in the web browser. what's up with this its just stupid, the blackberry app was much better than this it would open the Facebook app when you opened the notification. is there any plan In the pipe line to improve this or even any mods I can use to improve this? sorry for any grammar typed on my phone in under 2 mins LOL.

There are some 3rd party facebook apps. Babbler (paid and Lite) and Bloo. I haven't really tried them so I don't know how good they are.

just downloading now will update on what its like

that's the perfect app takes a little setting up but if your having problems just ask me and ill be more than happy to give you a hand

Which app did you try? I downloaded Babbler Lite after replying and I like it much better than the official app. I haven't decided if it's worth getting the paid version yet though.

yeah im using babble lite its much better than normal Facebook I think I might buy full version just to support the devs who have made such a great app

Yeah, I'm thinking I'll end up buying this app. It's definitely the best FB app I have used.

setup
im having trouble setting up babbler, i have the full version. when i log in through babbler it just stays on the same screen that says babbler for android or something.
can someone help ?
thanks

ok well I did it thru the browser I had to go to the application thru Facebook on the browser (just search babbler on Facebook) and accept it and all then go to the application on your device and accept some more and then it all worked hope this help. they really need to sort this out this is the only big downfall with this app. anyway any problems anyone just pm me

Actually, I didn't have to go through the browser at all. I think the issue is that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom on the screen that seems to be just sitting there. At the bottom you will see the allow button.

thanks got it working.
i hope there is an update to the official facebook app for android so its like the one for the iphone which is pretty much perferct.

yeah you just need to wait till people begin to use android and it will begin to get the updates, i mean look at iphone apps there amazing cause that is THE thing atm, and blackberries also have a good following so the apps for that are normally ok, but as android is getting bigger and better ( imho its alredy the best) the apps will come rolling in like they did for the iphone/ipad

i just downloaded th lite version but i cant seem to get te notifications to work on mytouch,

[Q] Windows Live Messenger?

Hi everyone!
I haven't seen anyone talking about "windows live messenger", nor videos and just screens about a "future messenger".
Well, there is or there is not an oficial Windows Live Messenger?
Thanks!

search messenger by miyowa, it seems like a joke, but its the official client

Bwahaha so true. Mind you, it's alot better after the updates. Notifications seem to work fine.

I still cant get it to run at all, so also looking for an integrated "official" version.
i.e. at a minimum it should have the same integration Facebook does. I dont get how they can be missing that considering how "social" messenger is now.
Anyway. Fingers crossed we get something soonish.
(How can i skive of work if i cant pretend i am working from my phone?)

The lack of a first party Wlm client was one of the reasons i didn't get a wp7 device.

This is not the Official Messenger app, it's just the only one at the moment. I know what miyowa said but they didn't say they were in charge of the official WLM but that Microsoft asked them to create a WLM app (certainly as an alternative until the official one is ready).
Trust me it wouldn't be called "messenger by miyowa", it would be published by Microsoft and it wouldn't be that ****. Also there would be a mention of it and a download link for WP7 on their official WL for Mobile page (you can select a device at the top): http://www.windowsliveformobile.com/en-us/windowsphone/default.aspx
The Zune HD version is functional but ugly so my guess is they went from porting it to working on a Live Messenger for WP7 similar to the iPhone one with social networks integrated.
As awesome as the Metro UI is, what's offered now just doesn't work with WLM (seriously check that Zune HD app, it's very ugly), they need to keep it close to the desktop version as people are used to it. I'm sure the official app will be there before the Mango update.

Bull. Even the high ranking MS execs I've spoken to refer me to the Miyowa client as official. I have no doubt there will be an actual usable client in the future, but for now it is the official one.

Microsoft would be stupid enough to let them use "Messenger by Miyowa"?
Wouldn't that be just "Windows Live Messenger"?
Even iOS has an official client. And it's not "by miyowa".

Yeah we need a proper one that can at least run backgrounded. I dont find it to be that bad since I usually leave my on at home and rarely need to log into it remotely

I was shocked that there wasn't a windows live messanger app for WP7 when I tried the HD7, I thought that was ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that they still don't have one out.

it does push notifications so you will know when you have a message. Never have been an IM kinda user so it doesn't bother me, but the one that's there does the basic features.

Microsoft teams have more faith in ios than wp7 it seems. Now there is even denote for ios. The reasons to get wp7 over an ios device if on att or Verizon... Well there hardly are any...

There's a new WLM app called Li'Messenger. It doesn't have notifications but maybe worth a try since the miyowa one is a bit rubbish.

I think its getting pulled out of the marketplace. So i suggest to go get it now before it's gone.

i read its going to be removed... i just installed it, works and looks a lot better than miyowa's version.
now it just needs multitasking to run in the background

why would it be pulled? given the amount of twitter clients about... i don't see what reason MS would have to remove it...

I'm with you!
Why would they remove it?

Maybe the developer started the rumor to get people to rush out and download it?

That was my initial reaction to the rumor also - but seeing as the app is free, what would he gain from this? Checking the app it also seems to be as well behaved as the developers claims it is, i.e. it sends data directly to Live. No intermediary servers involved so it's not like he's stealing account data either.
My guess is that MS doesn't like the fact it's using certain logos and/or Live API's, but rather than removing it they should in that case take it over as their official client as it's already much better than the other one.

Li'Messenger seems to be removed. wish I coulda tried this. looks really good. I hope for a better one than the current selection very soon.

[Q] How to block bloatware by ADB tool?

I want to block some of my device's bloatware using the ADB tool.
but I am facing a problem, sometimes I don't recognize the package's name or which application they represent and vice versa (meaning that many apks I don't know how to disable them cause I don't know what they would be called (like File Commander).
for example "com.sonymobile.advancedwidget.entrance" refers to "what's new" and "com.sonymobile.synchub" refers to "back up and restore".
I am using the "pm block" command, is there another command I need to use to block the apks that don't start with "com."?
Can someone list the Z3's bloatware and what should they be called when disabling them using ADB tool?

There is no bloatware list.

What is bloat for you, may not be bloat for others. So THERE IS NO BLOAT LIST per se.

I wouldn't argue with that,
But still, what I mean is, if someone with even a little experience to know the applications or apks or packages which originally come with the device and list "in his opinion" which to be blocked and which not, that would be so great.
or if he just mentioned the packages names, their functions (descriptions) and how to be blocked with ADB tool, that would be awesome.
sharing experiences or opinions, that's what this forum is about, isn't it?

I think what they are really looking for is a list of files that are safe to remove. Then they can choose what they consider bloat from that list.

This thread is an example of what this thread is about, it's of a little old xperia phone but it shows the idea.
This one is another example, with a shorter list (Z3 list) but still helpful.
now, what this is about is a more professional one like the ones that are available for Samsung.
like this, this, this and this.
so, of course there are and those who say that there aren't shouldn't phrase it that way, They could just say that they don't know.

I absolutely agree to that statement "what's bloatware for you...bla..bla..."
Facebook is maybe bloatware for someone but for me is a business tool..
Search a bit more and ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP - that's XDA mantra and, beleve me, it's a first thing to do when you are doing something like this...
Good luck
