HTC HD2 Facebook Application

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~!

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

Thanks for the share. Works fine.

Suggest a good mail program.

After seeing the iPhone 4.0 way of handling mail, I kinda feel like the android is behind in this area. Or it could be I just don't know of a good mail application.
I've used K9 and Moxier(of course) but both seem very lacking in fluidity and overall appearance.
Also any app I use that checks mail automatically drains my battery *fast*
Here's a screen of my battery with and without automatic mail updates on.
Both are when the phone is supposed to be sleeping.

The reason I want an app to check mail automatically other than my default gmail address is I have other addresses I use for work and would like to be notified as I get mail and not have to do it manually all without worrying about my battery being drained uber fast.

i always use K-9 ive not found any other worth using really.

its okay kinda clunky when scrolling through your email. It doesn't save your emails so yeh it kinda bogs down.

I tried maildroid too.. wasn't keen - back to k-9..

i tried a lot and K9 does it for me the best so far as well.
Cheers,
Arnold

re:
I am the maildroiddev. Sorry MailDroid is not working well for you. For the person who mentioned the lag when scrolling, this is fixed in version 1.25 (available in the next day or so). I am always looking for feedback and comments to make it better though.

Sorry to disappoint you but the best of the apps (like K-9) concentrate on providing functionality rather than appearance. K-9 is one of the most fully featured mail apps that I've found so far.
The issue with the battery drain can be resolved simply by using push email providers. Polling is inherently inefficient and probably in your case causing the battery drain (even though I dont really think so, just by looking at the graphs you posted).

now now, no need for the insults . I don't use an iPhone, nor do I touch them often. I saw one and was impressed and wondered if there was something that had that level of fluidity. Is it a crime that I ask publicly about some secret gem that might be hiding under various radars? .

I wonder how the native gmail app handles it? I get an email alert as I get sent mail yet battery drain is extremely low. Does Gmail and this app utilize the push thing that you're speaking of? I believe my problem would be solved via the android update which allows multiple mail accounts instead of just one.
@joelangley
Cheers for being a great developer . I look forward to trying out your update .

Apologizes for the double post + bump. I just want to state that after using maildroid for the 2 weeks I'm extremely impressed. Battery drain is at a minimum and I get updates from my other accounts nearly instantly. There are occasions when I haven't been notified but those times have been few and far between.
Good job maildroid . Now if only the ui can be updated with a bit more polish it'd be golden .

New App - Live Profile - Multi Platform Messenger

I found this app last week and have been very impressed with it, it's currently in beta stage now on Android, and will support Android, Blackberry, & iPhone.
It works with a pin, has unlimited messaging, no restriction on character limits etc. You can use this as a stand alone app or as your sms text app as well.
It shows current status, message delivered indicator, message read indicator and more.
A very nice start to what looks to be a very promising app for all smart phones.

(disclaimer- I have nothing to do with this app, just sharing a good find)

Thanks for sharing!

Damn. Hoped you meant a multi-network app. Like MSN/Aim/Yahoo and so on. Not another BBM remake. We already got PingChat and WhatsApp.

I wasn't aware of ping chat... it looks to be nice as well.... this is just what I found and it works so fast and simple, I thought I would share it.
One main difference I see is the other apps only work for those that have the app installed... as this will also work as your sms/text messenger.
I haven't tested the others yet.. but I will now to see how they compare.

Using PingChat but will give this a try, thanks!
But I don't think I'll use it regulary since everyone knows im using PingChat

this to BBM?
how do i add a friend that uses a blackberry? can they use their BBM program or do they have to get this program? where do i find their pin?

are the sms free as well?

Just use WhatsApp..
It already does everything this can do, its out and it integrates with your phone contacts

Live Profile will be nice when it releases the iPhone and Blackberry apps.
I've been using Kik Messenger (http://kik.com/) and have been really liking it.

Hey, does this work with FaceBook chat??

gave it a try but in 30min it drained my battery form 100% to 85%. i hadn't received or sent any messages and it was simply in my pocket. i didnt even have any friends added yet.
i wanna be able to use it when the BB version comes out but the battery drain is enourmous

I've been using "eBuddy", as a muti-network IM client. It works on: MSN, Yahoo, AIM, Google Talk, MySpace, ICQ, Hyves, and Facebook! It works well, and doesn't seem to eat too much battery.
Cheers.

I use aim for facebook chat, does this do facebook chat?
I dont really know anyone who still uses instant messengers other than well sms/text messaging.

just another pingchat & whatsapp application????
will give it a spin when the other os r ready

So this thing uses polling and not push? No, thanks...
ok well after some playing this app certainly polls. My phone, which typically gets me 2 days of light to moderate usage, went from 100% charge down to 7% in 6 hours. Additionally taking a look at the comments in the market you can see others are noticing it as well. The problem is a phone must function as a phone first, all other stuff is secondary. If the phone cannot maintain a charge, it's a $500 paperweight.
You have an awesome app so I'd like to make some suggestions and let me preface by saying i make them with all due respect.
- You really need to push not poll. This saves a ton on battery as the server is doing the heavy lifting and also means no need for a wakelock
- With the suggestion above it means you may need to adjust your business model. Servers come at a cost, you have the initial purchase, maintenance, plus monthly charges of running them (power, broadband). the way BlackBerry gets away with this is by indirectly charging the customer straight through the carrier. When you purchase a BB you get a nice little BB tax of $20 or $30 thrown onto your bill which covers monthly use of the push servers for such things as email and BB messenger. You cant do this, nobody would pay an extra monthly fee so you will need to think outside of the box.
a) look into using admob and putting adds into the settings menus and other non-intrusive places. This should hopefully cover some of the costs.
b) Charge for the app upfront (this is in addition to the ad's). Charge a buck or two at the time of purchase.
c) Make it more than just Liveprofile messages and text. Add in some other services to make this a must have app such as facebook chat or gtalk which would also be pushed through the server. People would buy an app with facebook chat that does push for that purpose alone! I suggested gtalk as well because of its deep integration to google, with android getting as large as it is, gtalk is becoming more and more popular. The current gtalk app that comes with android is push, works beautifully, and barely uses battery.
d) Maybe think of a way to create a group license package that you could market to large companies which could help bring in lump sums of cash plus the additional exposure to the ad's (point a).
here is a link to an article which you may find of value.
Again great work. I hope to see this with push servers in the near future because i can easily see this becoming everyones "must have" application.

[APP] on{X} beta by Microsoft for Android

Has anyone messed around with this app? It's developed by Microsoft and it allows users to create "recipes" to automate tasks on your phone; like When receiving a call while driving, automatically send a text saying "I will call you back later, I'm driving."
This app is similar to that of ifttt.com. Check it out...

Well it's convenient to have Facebook as many sites allow you to use Facebook as an openid like provider. Of course Google allows you to do that too now but you get my point.
Also people with Facebook > people with hotmail /live id, and that's mainly why ms chose Facebook. Also don't forget that ms gets free advertising for onx that way. I'm confident that once it gets out of beta it will provide multiple authentication ways. At least that's my opinion

On a sort of separate note, has anyone ported Motorola's Smart Actions to all android devices yet?

Honestly, what can this do that Tasker can't? AlI see is that {x} lets you create your Automations/Tasks on the computer or online. Tasker is far superior and has been around for ages with constant development. Tasker now even allows you to create standalone apps from anything you create in Tasker (so you can share your automation's with phones that do not have Tasker). I don't think this {x} app is gonna get any traction since the market already has a really good product that does the same thing.

Keep it going, perhaps a hybrid may work better, I mean Apple steal stuff all the time.
What do you call a cow with no legs?
BTW, does it run on a tablet.

As someone who has themed his Windows and X-Windows in many different themes (including MacOS), I don't mind seeing themes like this.
However, I'm going to pass on this based on the permissions (which, thankfully, he's open about):
This app uses several external libraries, including Google Analytics, ACRA, LeadBolt and other ad networks. Some of these libraries require additional permissions.
* SET_WALLPAPER and SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS are necessary to set & retrieve the home screen wallpaper
* INTERNET_ACCESS, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE are required for Google Analytics, ACRA and advertising networks.
* READ_PHONE_STATE, WAKE_LOCK and RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED are required for advertising networks (currently interstitials, and push notifications may be enabled in future)
* WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE is required to cache error reports before transmission, and for rich media ads

All you guys knocking this app because it looks like an iPhone...you are missing the point. Hence the name "Fake iPhone 5 Launcher"...it is meant to poke fun at the iPhone...I think it is absolutely and utterly sweet that we can make are phones look like any phone on the market.
This app is also great for iPhone converts...they can have an Android phone but still work in the comfortable confines of the iOS launcher.
