Facebook app got no search... - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Hey, I got HTC Pure which already as an standard facebook application but the problem is that I don`t have the option to search people...I mean I want it like a real computer where you can go to facebook and you get search bar located on your right and you could search people you may know, so that kinda suck on the application I don`t have that search thing but I see it on blackberry they do have the search option, I even tried to use the browser such as opera to go to facebook.com and thought it might be the exact same like on a computer but no..it doesnt work the way it should be for me and this time I do get search located on the right but when I searched someone and clicked on their profile it automaticly brings me to me own profile...how stupid that is huh?
Hope there is a good soul out there that got an solution for this..

log in to windows marketplace and download the lastest version of facebook

DAMN! Im 110% its not on mine
I dont have any GPS software on my device, that sucks!
Anyway I can get a copy from your device?????
THANKS!
I have a better idea. Why don't you check out this thread chock-full-o applications for the Diamond. Scroll down and you'll find Google Maps and you may find other things that interest you as well. As the Diamond is very similar to the Touch Pro it should work. I got my iGo nav software up and running by reading a thread posted in the Diamond forum. So if you don't find what you're looking for over here, try over there. You may also want to try Windows Live Search. I believe the url is wls.live.com which you can download directly via your s...l...o...w... EDGE connection. Let us know how it works out.

thank you!!!!
i got it on my device but it will not show my location, it says looking for satelite.
tnx again
Also, if you're trying to download from www.google.com/gmm, make sure you use pocket IE. if you go to that website using opera, it identifies itself as a desktop browser and hence you get the error.

If you haven't already then try doing this:
1) Run QuickGPS and download latest satellite data.
2) In Google Maps select Menu->Use GPS.
Be patient the first time, it will take longer than usual to acquire a signal the first time you use it. QuickGPS should help to acquire a signal faster. If you are having trouble then make sure you are outside or close to a window with a direct view of the sky to test it, but it will probably work in the interior of your home too.
Ok so I used Internet Explorer as suggested on the board and was able to load it with no problem.
Thanks again and hope this post helps someone else.

use HTML to open an app?

HI Folks,
been looking into this for a bit with no joy, so thought it's worth asking if anyone knows if its possible to use a html browser to open an app directly, please read the below and you will see what i am after, basically the idea is to use jakesankey's overlay to navigate m.facebook, but also have the option to use the bottom bar to act as a shortcut to album

It will give you access right back to your chat window at any time. The goal is to get rid of the m.facebook integration and make make it so each window will remain in the same position as it was when you switched to 'chat' and then switched back.. Anyhow, I dont mean to ramble. This is what where I am thus far for anyone with an interest. (simply extract the compressed folder to your computer and open fbook.html to get the idea).. obviously this will not be used to upload photos.
ive been playing with this, it works well with the new omnia build of opera that allows scroll in pan
know this might sound daft, but is there any way to use a html doc to open the Album.exe ?
one of the guys posted the following in the diamond section that allows htc album to upload pics directly to facebook
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469106
don't know if this will work with qvga, but worth a try
i like the idea and have been playing around with it to make it more usable for me, then thought about trying to include a link to the album in the html page, ive included my edit to give you an idea of what im thinking but the code is beyond me
many thanks for any help or advice
Chris
anyone have any ideas?
So, if I understand you right, what you want to do is open an application on your phone (a .exe file) when clicking a link in a webpage?
Because that does work perfectly fine (at least on my htc wing with WinMo 6 and PIE). All you need to do is make the link point to the application:
Code:
A link
The above example will open the Images&Videos application when clicking the link for example. Hope that's what you were after.

Coordinates in Google Maps

Hello,
is there a way to show the coordinates in GoogleMaps?
Hope this is not a stupid question, but I can not find them.
I have the version 4.0.0(#81).
Thanks

No. It's not a stupid question at all!, the only stupid was the Google's developer who decided that this feature was irrelevant for ordinary people! I suppose that you, as me, want to be able to identify a place on Google maps, and copy the coordinates to your Navigator software or to the contacts , or send them to a friend to meet...etc
The only way is to "flash back" to the early 2008.... Attached you will find and old Google Maps version. which is the last when you were able to mark a point of the screen as beginning or as end of a itinerary, and then you could see the latitude,longitude and copy them to the copy-board.
The only problem is that you can't have both Google maps versions working together on your device ( or, at least I don't know how do it).
Now, what I do is having both cabs available and install the desired one over the other every time that I need it (it takes just a few seconds)
If someone knows how to have both apps working together, it would be great to share it!

You have describe exact condition wat i am facing, Actually i was starting new thread Q, and i was directed to ur post. I am using Navigon, some time i want direction which is not included in Navigon, So wat is way to enter desired location?
Here i hav searched a way to get it, it is 2-3 step procedure, but till we get right solution one can use it.
First long press on google map on desired location, it will popup loading address
- press on address - select share this place
- it will ask many option to share select e.g. msg, now copy that link
- open browser n paste it
- It will ask to open with? select Browser
- Now in browser, search box contain Coordinates
PS : I noticed your locale set to UK, it wont show, but if select US, it showing..

[Q] Need a chat app, that is NOT palringo

Palringo straight up sucks. as of right now it has been "Logging in" for 3 hours, tried rebooting phone, checked connection etc etc.. Of course there is no visual cue that you have a message,(blinking LED) or when you are disconnected.
it sucks, i hate it, want something, anything else.
tried to get ebuddy, cant, says its not authorized or something to that effect..
is there ANY program out there (other than junkringo) that works on this phone? without having to do any mods BS to get it to work?
I take it you're not looking for MSN then?
something that DOES NOT use sms to send and recieve yahoo chat messages.
How about this. Not the most obvious thing in the world I suppose, but I thought of it...

Wow, thanks for the smartass answer an all..
but have you even tried to install it on an HD2?
hmm?
does your say " 'ymsgr-ppc' is not a valid pocket PC application"
maybe i should google it.
mmm... yea, well it says its for winmo5.. so I googled the HD2 and found it with google, it uses winmo6.5 and then googled again and could not find where it said that app supports winmo6.5.... but I did find where it said it does not support 6.1 but maybe it skipped 6.1 because it wasnt cool, or didnt use google enough... hmm
maybe i should google some more.
too bad i cant get it to work too, what with a rockin rating of 2/10 i think you managed to google up the one chat app that might suck worse than palringo..
At least I tried, which is more than you could be bothered doing.
Couple of options
BeeJive for WM 6.5 works, but is no longer being supported. It's in permanent beta and every once in a while their servers go down for a few days.
You can get the ebuddy java app to work. You need to install Mighty's Photon jBlend java app on your HD2, then you can get java apps to install fine. I don't have a link handy but you can find it on XDA.
Try BeeJive first, if it's working, it's really good.

[Q] Google Chrome to Phone

Okay so I've been looking ALL over this site and have found noting and I am brand new so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong section but I can't figure this out. I just upgraded to Windows 8 and I installed chrome to phone and when I try to send a page it tells me to sign in (when I am already signed in) and I click to sign in and it takes me to a blank white page that says redirecting and just stays there. It's driving me crazy because I can't get it to work. Now I don't know if it is something with Google or with the fact I'm running windows 8 but I guess I'm wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if someone can help me figure this out I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thank you!
Maybe it doesn't work on Win8? Try it on Win7 just to make sure it's not an OS problem... which I doubt.
Just to clear things out... you do have the Android counterpart installed on your phone, correct?
i always thought than internal browser is google chrome)
opera mini is good
opera mobile is better =)
Used this before on my rooted Eris and used had to used google chrome.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I love firefox all the way

The stock Android browser is not the same thing as Chrome. 2 different departments at Google. You'd think they would be the same, but they're not.
