[Q] How do you send facebook messages in Mango RTM - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched the forum for a solution but still haven't found anything.
I have Mango RTM on my Omnia 7 and i love the Facebook integration. I have tried unsuccessfully to send a message from within the People hub but it only allows chat (friend has to be online) and text. How do you send someone a message without having to install the Facebook app?

So far, looks like Messages are not built-in. You must use the app, or use the mobile website.

Facebook App, Messages wont show on Web

Hi,
i have a problem with the official Facebook App on my SGS running 2.2.3
I did receive a normal message yesterday. That message did show on web and on my mobile. I did also receive a notification on my mobile. I answered that message via web. It did show on web and on my mobile too.
My dialog partner replied. This reply only shows on my mobile, but NOT on web. All my consecutively replies where done via web. They show on my mobile and on web. However all the answers i received are ONLY visible on my mobile, not on web. In fact, the intact conversation history is visible on my phone. On web facebook, i only see the first message i received and the answers i did but not the messages my dialog partner did send me.
Whats wrong there?
I am using the latest facebook app (26. April) and i am also using the new facebook messaging system.
Anyone else noticed something like that? How to fix that?
greetings
Same problem with me. Using HTC HD2 WinMo 6.5 and the latest facebook app 1.1.0.26. My facebook is with the new message system, too.
I think i have found the issue. Its not because of the FB app, but because of the dialog partner using the new and the old messaging system.
As a workaround, you can see all the messages via the mobile facebook webpage:
m.facebook.com
Thats the reason it works for mobile phones but not for the "original" facebook website.
Another workaround is, to invite the dialog partner to the new messaging system. But i didnt had a chance to verify if that works.

[Q] No "read" mails in Android

All, I dont see my read emails but only unread emails are available.
I just bought an Acer A500 with 3.1 and got also a Nexus S with 2.3 and both have the same issue.
I looked everywhere for the option to have both meaning read and unread mails but only unread is download.
I am using a standard gmail account and all get download properly on my iPhone and also available directly on gmail.com .
Is there a trick to get read emails ?
Tks in advance for your answer/support.
Sam
There should be an option where you can choose what mails to download/keep in your local inbox. Unfortunatly my droid is in the rooting process (sort of taking a while) so I can't check it out, but there is an option.
Search the Optionsmenu for something download mails and check download all...
Ah damn, can't remember where

Looks nice! But one feature I would be looking forward to is facebook chat support and msn support and google chat support much like the imo.im app on the market.
Doesn't have landscape support!!
For some reason, the market is telling me that it's not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S.

Same here :-(
here it is !
i just though id post it since i had the time
http://www.mediafire.com/?z65td63i0lqaw7v
if it can show all facebook friends list , it will be perfect
can NOT be downloaded to milestone!
According to this app I have no friends period. The list is empty?
It says "Please wait while loading". The list is then empty.
For me it refuses to open the thread of the person I mail most :/ fc when I try to open thread. I believ this is because there are too many messages. I recommend added a thread bufferr of a fixed amount of messages to solve this, for example show only the past 10mails in each thread.

tones and chat

hi guys
i have just got the htc 7 pro and am looking to find out if i can change the sounds my phones gives out for different Notification. i.e receiving emails text and facebook Notification.
also i have read that you can now setup facebook chat but i cant seem to find away to do this does any know?
thank you for any help.
for MSN and Facebook chat you must have Mango update and just add your account...
for changing sound, go to Settings - ringtones+sounds but IM and sms share same sound
if you want add custom ringtones to Mango, read this

Facebook / Messages (SMS) (WP7.5 8107 Omnia W)

Hi all!
I just moved from Android (HD2 MIUI) to WP7.5 (Omnia W i8350 fw: 8107 locked) and I noticed a couple of things:
- SMS and Facebook chat are merged, without any timeline order. I'll try to explain (I'm Italian, I'm sorry if I'll spell anything wrong):
SMS sent from my gf at 11.00 AM, received at 11.00:03 AM on my device
Facebook Chat message sent from my girlfriend at 10.30 AM, wifi/data enabled on my device at 11.30 AM, Facebook Chat message received at 11.30 AM.
In my message hub the last interaction with my gf that I'll see will be her FB Chat Message (and my reply will pass through FB by default, instead of SMS).
Isn't that strange?
- There's, in the marketplace, an official FB App, that has at least half an hour delay between any notify and doesn't notify any private message to me.
Is the any alternative that could work better?
Trust me, moving from an HD2 that has been able to run WM6.5, WP7.5, Android easily to a locked WP7 device is quite confusing, but I'll try hard to make it work at his best.

Windows Phone will always use the message service that was last used. Since you only enabled data conenction at 11:30 am this was the last message your phone received and it assumes you want to use this protocol/service. You can manually change the protocol/service using the double arrow icon in the lower right.
EDIT: The built in facebook messenger works fine for me. There are only a few (5-10) seconds delay until I receive my facebook messages, no need for me to ever use the facebook app...

Yup, I could understand "why" the system uses the last service used as long as I'm or I'm not using data/wifi, but it's chronologically wrong.
I'm expecting to see the FB message before the last SMS, just because it has been sent before by the other user. (It's just a matter of timeline) If WP7 is able to merge every conversation between sms/facebook it would be fine to get each message in the right time order, isn't it? What if I don't turn on data/wifi for a week, I'd get FB messages one week old as "last" interaction with the other person, even if I wrote him/her by SMS just a minute before?
Of course I'm not expandind the issue to the fact that I've already read on FB that message, and it could be in any way notified as "already seen" on my phone. Leaving SMS / Facebook services in different apps, just like Whatsapp, Hotmail, Gmail, etc. is certainly less "integrated, nice, next gen, artistic, or what else", but more efficient in their real use: to comunicate.
P.S. The delay is really lower on the built in messenger, the app seems to have some different default settings.

WP7 doesn't know when it was sent, though. It only knows when it was delivered to the phone.

I disagree with that, the unified messaging hub is great because I can instantly see all communication with that user independant from the service used. If you still prefer to have non unified messages, you can do that. To quote the famous apple qoute: "there's an app for that!".
Apps like IM+ (search for "implus" on the market), Nimbuzz allow you to connect to Facebook and Windows Live Messenger (among others).
Miyowa allows you to connect to Windos Live Messenger and for Facebook only I found an app called "Fim Chat"
Knock yourself out

This would not be feasible or practical in my oppinion. For one, this would require Facebook to somehow notify the client (phone) that a message has been read and to force the client to delete it. This is not how IM clients work. I think it would be a bad move if a service could "recall" or "delete" already delivered messages. If you're going to read your FB messages using a different client anyways, why stay signed in using the built in client?
