Hi.
I got a simple question for you all here.
I don't seem to find a method to upload a picture to my friends walls. There is only an option to upload images to my own wall. But how do I send it to someone others wall?
Thanks in advance,
Pemell
Post fb picture on wall
I also miss this feature. I've been searching for it a long time now and it seems it is currently not possible.
I tried going to the official facebook page and even over there it's not possible. (It is, but you cannot browse for the file)
I am now going to try it by going to the mobile site of facebook and the touch.facebook.com site. I'll let you know it it's possible over there but I wouldn't count on it.
I tried it to. The only way I found possible was to send the photo to my macbook and upload it there.
It wasn't possible through the phone at all. Bugger.
Though please keep me posted if I'm missing something.
It looks like it's not even possible to do this using the official Facebook app. Lame.
As for using the browser, it's actually a limitation of the permissions system. The m.* and touch.* sites aren't going to add any more permissions! Mobile IE actually runs in the same kind of sandbox as normal apps, meaning essentially no access to the filesystem. However, it *could* use a PhotoChooserTask (or similar) if Microsoft had bothered to implement that.

is there a reg setting some where to have it download all images as soon as i open the mail, instead of blocking them and waiting for me to click "unblock?"
bump....guys anyone?
would love to know here too.
Still nothing - not here, not in the General forum either!
This is a great question - that bugs the hell out of me!
Any ideas?
I got curious and also searched. Came up with 2 other threads of with the same question and no resolution.
Maybe you could post this in the Kaiser Tweaks thread as a feature request for the XML? Some of the folks watching that thread really seem to know the registry!
Don't know an answer but
Its a Microsoft safety setting because you can put malicious code in a .jpg so they only want you to open trusted images (yeah weak I know) but its the same way with exchange server emails. Would be great to put this in kaiser tweaks but it would also be good to select all emails from a certain sender. So if I open an email from my friend there could be check a box and then from now on he is trusted and it auto does it instead of just doing in blanket style. but thats just my opinion i could be wrong

This is a feature of Exchange/Outlook 2007, but you can configure it to automatically download the pictures. Unfortunately it seems there isn't a method of doing the same for WM

yep...I'd like to know too.
Yeah, I'd like to know as well !!
I'd like to know how to download internet pictures even the second time. When I get "Internet pictures blocked" and I tap on it it then says "Download Internet pictures". When I tap on that "Internet pictures blocked" returns. I can Send/Receive and still no pictures. Frustrating.
If it matters I run my own email server on Linux and I am accessing it on the phone via IMAP.
I get this also on a standard ROM, anyone managed to suss it yet?
Very similar to the other problem I have with my Kaiser, regarding the "annoying "Internet pictures blocked" link in POutlook messaging.
FWIW, I don't know if it's a 6.1 thing or not, but it looks like if click the link the first time to emails, it'll cache the images so they'll open the next time you open that email -- but then again, who reads emails 15 times?
I was trying FlexMail, but for various reasons, not the least was my experience in asking questions on their forum which no one answered, but also the fact that when I get a Starbucks email, I'd like to be able to see the images not shrunk so much I can't read the text in the images... know what I mean? I bailed on that trial, and have used QMAIL, but it does something similar but much more comprehensive in scope... my only annoyance with QMAIL is it doesn't integrate into the messaging subsystem, oh well... so much for Voice Command telling me when I have new mail in my AutoPilot Qmail settings, but at least -- no "Internet Pictures Blocked" bull-pucky.
It seems though that maybe 6.1, as opposed to the older ROMs, is starting to show my email pictures without the nasty fuzziness! Hurray! I can see the Starbucks cup full-size, albeit I still have to tap the download images link the first time I open each email, and I have to tap the "scroll" link each time... maybe a small price to pay?
But maybe... just maybe, there's a registry king/queen out there who can pour through the registry and shed some light on these issues... maybe... I may, during some night-shift work, while I'm probably supposed to be passing medications ( ) sync up and look through the reg to see if I can see anything that might help, and putz around a bit.
HOWEVER... it'd be much easier if Microsoft just made a CAB that addressed these issues and fixed the problems, adding a few benefits on the side like trusted domains, adjustable font size, etc.
... but then again, maybe we'll run smack into another ice age by 2010, too...
Cheers,

Was this issue ever solved? It is soooo annoying, reading an emailm having to click you trust, having to click DL pics, having to go back, click send/recieve to DL pics. Then go look at the email. I have went from 1 tap and reading full HTML email on my iphone, to like 6 taps to get a full message on my WinMo phone.
I too am looking for a resolution to this.
Has this issue found a solution yet ?
Was hoping for an update when i saw this resurface. Hoping for something.....
still nothing! :-(
Still unsolved?
This thread has been floating around for ages now with no answer... adding "still unsolved" or "still nothing!" isn't likely to resolve it, so why do it?
C'mon people.... if you are going to post here, at least have an answer.
Hi guys,just wondering whether anyone can help to create a better Facebook app?The official Facebook app is great but just some issues with it.I can't seem to view photos that doesn't come with a album and sometimes,the Birthday of some people aren't shown.Lastly,maybe a function to be able to view your mutual friends with a certain someone would be great! This Facebook 'part' I unfortunately feel that the iPhone Facebook app is actually better...So please,any app developer for a better Facebook app???

Bloo 1.5, not available on market, but you can probably find it at any of the popular file charing websites (mods: its a free app, so im not promoting warez)...or if youd like i can upload the .apk for you to download and try out
It has chat, notifications for EVERYTHING (including wall/status posts, photo comments, etc.), birthday alerts...pretty much everything
Great!Can you upload the .apk please?
Enjoy....let me know what you think....and dont forget to slam the "thanks" button, glad to help
I just tried this but I can't get facebook to give me the six digit code I need. I gives me an error to try again later. I guess I'll have to do that and see what happens.

a lot of people have this issue. i pulled this from the developers blog (http://fbandroid.wordpress.com/), give it a shot, and report back
Update: Kate from the comments provided some instructions to get the 6 digit code! Thank you Kate!
1. In your browser, enter in http://m.facebook.com (this will bring up the mobile site)log-in to your facebook account.
2. In the “Search” box at the BOTTOM of the page type in “Bloo for Android” and click on “Search”.
3. Click on the application “Bloo for Android” (NOT the group).
4. Then click on the button that says “Allow”. This will link your Facebook account with Bloo.
5. Now, from your phone go to your Bloo application and click on “Get Code” and it should take you to the code page!
6. Enjoy!
*Note* I used the m.facebook.com site directly from my PC, I didn’t try it on my phone… so if it doesn’t work on your phone, try it on your home computer.
I hope this helps out a lot of people!
That wireless flawlessly. You saved me alot of time later on trying to figure that out. There is one option I see missing. The search option. I don't want to scroll through all my friends just to get to one of their pages.
Edit, I figured it out how to do it.

well you can either use the side scroller, or long press your phones menu button to bring up your keyboard, and it searches as you type
or if your phone has a search button, just press that
One more thing: keep in mind this app isnt flawless, it may suck your battery a little bit....and also ive noticed that if you get multiple notifications in a shrot period of time, it might skip over some......other than those two things, its certainly good enough that ive been using it since its release
Does it let you edit and post comments?

Guys I need help.I can't seem to view photos of myself or other people.It says there's no album.And events are not shown too...
You cant easily click a photo on the facebook apps stream and have it point you to the photo, usually it dumps you to the profile instead...
Sort of on topic sort of off topic...
I don't think people should have to make better alternatives to the Facebook app.
I think facebook should get their bloody act together and give us a suitable app that:
Has all the features of the utterly fantastic Iphone one.
DOES NOT RAPE BATTERY.
If everyone rates it 1 star we will get an update. simple as that...
Personally I have uninstalled Facebook, wiped it from the system folder, I use SyncMyPix for contact photos and I use Tweetdeck to pull in my facebook updates. for anything else I need on facebook I use the touch site...because what the app carried on sending you to anyway...
Ive noticed ive gained 3hours per charge since uninstalling all traces of facebook. It is just poorly coded, poorly presented, crippled bloatware.
The new F-plus on the market is pretty good. Offers push notifications and news feed now. Doesnt have chat. Go facebook chat is pretty good though.
I definintely like f+ better, I think I'll keep it and use it.

Best answer I could find, and it makes sense:
This isn't possible from an OS level. That share menu is populated by Android based on what apps you've installed declare they can open. You can look at the technical details here, but the end result is that without extra coding from each individual app to filter the results, you are always going to get the full list in whatever order Android returns them in.

http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/8112/is-there-a-way-to-edit-the-share-menu
Basically in the apps code somewhere it states that it has the ability to use the Share function, so it's automatically added. Without removing the code or removing the app altogether, Android sees the app and adds it. Might be something someone a lot smarter than myself would be able to write an app that manipulates this somehow. But from what I'm seeing it hasn't been done.
thanks man, its ok if just cant be done, everything has limitations...
Would it be possible to have a separate share app that lets you add options (like "SMS to Bob") as well as hide some of the defaults? That app itself could be registered as a "sharing" app (maybe sorting to the top of the list?) or could be launched individually. So a process flow could be to launch this share app, load up the gallery, choose the photo, choose the destination. And that process would be just as convenient as launching the gallery, choosing the photo, selecting to share, and selecting the destination. Same number of steps.
This app is from 2011 I think, it still works but lacks lot of little things and adjustments. Perhaps another like that exist (one that has an app on windows too so you can have your catalog on each)..? [emoji2]

I googled "5explore CatDroid" and got 2 results. Both are links to you asking for that. You may wanna double check your name.
Not sure what you mean.. Want a link to download the app?

K guys, So I need to know if anyone knows of an app that can send mid-size videos from the field back to my system. The best I can find is what Zillow has made. They call it video walkthrough (which is what I want to do) so their system asks you if you want to post a video, when click yes it sends a link, once you click on the link it allows you to take several 20second videos and send them back to their server. These videos automatically seem together and post to their site. I am in construction and I need my subs to be able to do the same thing from the field but instead of them posting just to store on my server. I have looked at all of the "big guys" Like Glide, Instagram and Messenger, but we need something that is a little more specific and a little more secure. Any Ideas on an app that does this or should I look into building one?
P.S. You have to be a realtor to get to use Zillow's app.
