on my windows phone 7 (htc 7 pro) when i post a status update from the integrated Me hub only i am able to see this post, how can i change the settings so that my friends see it?
On the facebook site is no such thing in the settings for the integrated app of facebook or me hub... can somebody help?
Do you have the Facebook API / app platform disabled? The built-in features of the phone rely on this (the official Facebook app apparently bypasses that setting).
Alternatively, are you sure that when you post an update, the option to post it to FB is checked? It should be, by default, but there are several other options too.
something about default privacy settings of your updates which can be changed through the website?

i tried all the options, in the privacy, friends can post to my wall, all can view my wall, other apps can post to my wall and my friends see it. but there is nothing to setup the app from windows phone (Me hub posts) to post and who can see this. like it is on other app like wordpress and some other... is there an "app" on facebook that i must give permissions to have that enabled?
i have found out that the app (me hub) uses something called windows phone for facebook, that stays right behind the post (like, coment, and then a minugte ago by windows phone) if you click on this "windows phone" it open up an empty site. nothing in there. only the ads from the site...
after days of searching i have found it. on my start screen of facebook, left there are app that i use, today poped out the red windows phone app logo and there if you click on setting you can manage who see it. But until today the app was not there...

Hey guys!
Does anyone know if there is a way for the facebook tab for a contact to bring up the facebook app instead of launching the mobile facebook website?
For clarification: bring up a facebook linked contact in sense and click to view their profile, a comment, or an update. m.facebook launches in the browser for me. I would much prefer the facebook app instead.
Thanks!
This points out yet another reason to freaking uninstall that facebook app. It doesn't DO much does it?
I like the app and this seems like HTC's fault or maybe Google's. You know how when you have multiple apps duplicating functionality you get to choose which app handles each request and/or set default. Maybe Google needs to add an action for facebook?
Also the notifications that the facebook app fires off link to the mobile website instead of opening the app? What the?

No, this fault lies 99.996% on the Facebook app developers.
It's a sorry excuse for an official Facebook application in every right, especially when a 3rd party dev bests it with a limited SDK (See Babbler for Android).
Hi All,
Does anyone know how often the People Hub checks Facebook to see if you've added new friends? Is there any way you can force it to "update"? I've recently added a few friends, but they have yet to show up in my contacts / People hub...
Any help appreciated!
Try Settings -> Email & Accounts -> Long Press on your Facebook account and click sync in the context menu.
Worked! Thanks for the quick reply!
I haven’t connected the People Hub to my Facebook (yet).
However, I’m getting Facebook updates in the hub because my Windows Live is linked to my Facebook.
So…how does it all work? If I connect my Facebook well I have a duplicate of events. Shall I disconnect my Facebook from my Windows Live? What do people recommend?
Also, with regards to syncing – if you press and hold the “what’s new” title a refresh box pops open.
i have facebook and windows live connected to facebook and both syncing to phone... don't see double ups of events.
I have my Facebook account setup and my Live connected to Facebook, there are no duplicates. I'm guessing when both are present its smart enough to just use one source.
Thanks guys (or girls – wonder who’s buying the wp7 most).
I’m currently trying to decide what to do with my Windows Live profile. It’s good having the contacts linked with Facebook, but don’t know if it needs to be a ‘second Facebook’. It’s my email first and foremost.
Everything I upload to Skydrive doesn’t need to be shared with Facebook.

You can (and should) disable that in the Facebook settings on Windows Live.

Yes, I'm coming to the same conclusion. Windows Live does have layers of privacy, so it's not that which concerns me. It's more so that I don't need a second facebook.
Any particular reason why you've disable FB in Windows Live?
I didn't disable FB, I just disabled Windows Live from automatically posted pictures to FB Seems dangerous for every pic you take to go to Windows Live and thus to FB. Not all pics need to be public.
That said, I'm not really sure what you mean about having a second facebook. You mean in the phone? I've got FB linked, I have my FB account added, AND I have the FB app

Nah, I was referring to how my Facebook posts were appearing on my Windows Live Profile page... I've changed it so that's no longer the case.
The way Microsoft has integrated Facebook with Windows Live confuses me. A lot of what Microsoft does confuses me - but I generally like their products.
WP7 - very smooth.
Edit: For example; I use Twitter & and Foursquare - yet they can't by integrated with Windows Live. Microsoft's goal of making Windows Live a 'one stop shop' for social networking feeds is a fail!

Your facebook account is connected to your Windows Live account at Live.com ...
It tells me it can't connect to see who's online. I've gone through all the different walkthroughs online, and none of them work.
Also, I can't seem to delete my linked Facebook account in Settings. It tells me this feature isn't available yet so I have to go to Live.com to do it, but when I do, it tells me I can't remove it because: There seems to be some trouble connecting this service to Windows Live right now. Please try again later..
Can anybody help? I swear I was allowed to delete my Facebook account in Settings last night...
"Delete Facebook?
This feature is not working yet. You can go to the Windows Live site on your computer and remove Facebook from your Windows Live account if you want to delete it"
This is what it says when I hold down my Facebook account and tap delete.

How long has it been since you added Facebook chat to your Windows Live profile?
If its only been a few hours, you may have to wait a day or two. Sometimes it can take a very long time for Windows Live and Facebook to register each other and for your Facebook contacts to start showing up in Messenger. The other methods on the forum do not always work. Sometimes it just takes a little patience. Took my phone a day before any contacts showed up.
It took me like 5 mins to have all Facebook Contact List on my Windows Live Messenger.
Do one of the methods, wait 24 hours, and then report back. Most of the focus should be on the computer end. But I think the reason why many here are jaded about this is because many of us had to wait for it to just work. Which had nothing to do with the phone.
But then if it doesn't work, you may be SOL until the official update.
Nah, still not working. Pretty gutted about that really!
what I did was I deleted Facebook then went to windows live ( the same primary windows live account on my phone) and linked the two of them, then I readded Facebook and let it sync and also resynched windows live and then it connected and within 2 hours all my contacts started showing up. also make sure u have Facebook chat turned on in the messaging options.

Did you check in your online profile to make sure you linked the correct Face Book account? I too had a simulay problem with my daughters phone seems i linked my facebook account to her windows live so it did not work on the phone..
this is how you can tell
first login to your windows live @ live.com then click profile next to your name at top right then the details link on left then in the connect to you should see windows live and facebook if you do not see this then it facebook never connected and you should follow the steps again to connect facebook if you do see facebook click the manage link then click the edit link under facebook make sure the name that shows that you are connected to is the same as the one on your phone if it is not then you need to delete the facebook account from your profile next login into the correct facebook account then do the adding of the facebook account again and after you complete it and see your friends in the online and off line area of messenger you can go to your phone and resync facebook and windows live then in messenger tap offline then tap online it should be good then...
thing to note is the facebook account on windows live must match the one on your phone.
Mine kept saying it couldn't find anyone online even tho me Live account and Facebook were connected, but I managed to fix it.
I'm not sure if this was this trick but..:
1) Go to your Live account
2) Go to services
3) Go to the Facebook service
4) Just hit Save, even if you havent changed anything (also make sure the Chat is ticked).
5) Sync your Live account and Facebook on your phone
Everything was already ticked in my settings, but I just hit Save anyway and seconds later my Facebook Chat contacts started appearing.
Maybe somethings is improperly saved, and by just clicking the Save button again the settings are properly saved.
Do this:
Install Windows Live Essential, Log on WIndows Live Messenger
On the Bottom Right Corner of the Messenger Window, click Add and follow the step to connect Facebook for Live.
Log Out after you are done and then re log -in again.
You should be able to see the friendlist in a group called " Facebook" ( Must set show all friend, not "Online Only" )
Right click on a friend in Facebook group, and choose "Enable Facebook Chat"
Right now, you should see your Facebook friendlist on Windows Phone Chat.

Are you familiar with occam's razor m8 ??? "the simplest explanation is most likely the correct one."...
If all ppl have solve this by following those instruction, then you MUST do something wrong...
Follow the guides to the letter starting from blanc and not with " oh i id that and its not working' attitude....
just go to your Settings-Battery Saver, and UNCHECK 2 boxes :
always turn on Battery Saver when Battery is low,
turn on Battery Saver now, until next charge.
If you have unchecked both of them, you can connect to your Facebook Chat from messaging without any problem
Hi there,
it seems that some facebook "friends" of mine post messages on facebook...
but I can't see these messages on the peoples hub.
Anyone know why and what could be the problem? It is slightly annoying that I don't get al the messages on peoples hub.
kind regards,
I get all of the status updates and link shares, and that's all i need.
WP is treated by facebook as an app, so it does not get you everything, though i do not know what exactly it blocks.
It is your friends privacy settings. The WP7 Hub is seen as a '3rd party' app. If your friends, in their privacy settings, have disabled 3rd party applications accessing their feeds, then they will not show up in Windows Phone people hub. They will, however, show up in the proper facebook app as that is not seen as 3rd party.
I have a windows phone but am currently having problem using Facebook chat on it. It keeps saying "No one is online" even though in my Facebook on my laptop says otherwise. I have linked it with my windows live account, synced both my windows live account and Facebook account on my phone already, and also ensured that battery saver is turned off. But I still get the same message. Can someone help me? Am I missing something? Thanks in advance!
Have you tried logging in via the web on a PC to live.com, clicked on profile, and then checked that under 'connected to' (left hand side) that facebook is there?
If you can see that, click on 'Manage' and then click on 'Edit' under the facebook listing, and check 'Chat with Facebook friends' is selected.
Then sync your account again. Some people had to 'go offline' and then 'available' again, and wait up to two hours. Have a read of this thread for more detail:

Hope that helps. Good luck with it.
