[Q] NFC and QR Facebook checkin - General Questions and Answers

Hello out there,
if you look at those "Ways To Use NFC Tags" guides on the Web they often say that you could use NFC Tags for Facebook checkins. But I could not find a guide how that should work. I know that in the "Trigger" App there is a Facebook places option but thats not the way I want it, because it should be compatible with all devices. Iam looking for a way to checkin by URL, printed as QR and written to a NFC Tag.
So thats how far I've come:
With the old mobile Facebook version (m.facebook.com) you can create checkin links like this one for example
-- https://m.facebook.com/profile.php?id=200553029958653&v=checkin --
This link opens correctly in my PCs Firefox Browser and I can leave a comment and hit Checkin. On my Android devices (htc evo 3D and htc one) it does not open the old mobile version but the newer touch version (touch.facebook.com) with a simpler version of the timeline (without the header) and no checkin option. Funny: the URL in the addressbar says m.facebook.com but its the interface and design of touch.facebook.com.
Does anybody know a working checkin URL for mobile devices? I dont need to open the native facebook app because I want it to be compatible with all devices.
Sorry if this was asked somewhere before. I could not find such a thread via the search.
Greetings, David

Viigo

I had not seen a thread for this software, and had instead found it through an election 08 thread.
http://www.viigo.com/home
It's a nice RSS reader and news monitor, however I can't seem to find the options for social networking tools or package tracking. Anyone else?
Edit:
Social networking enabling: http://facebookonviigo.wordpress.com/
Package tracking is hidden. It's under Home > News & RSS. Menu > Add Channel >Useful Services > Track a Package
and you can't add it to the menu for some reason.
So, is this program good?? I need my Google Reader. My brother installed it on his BB Storm. But I was just wondering what ya'll think. Is this okay for HTC phones?

blah - I am having some problems setting it up. I am trying to install this great program on my new HTC Fuze (same as the htc touch pro).
My blog is http://www.politicaldisgust.com and when I try to add a new blog I get a bunch of errors including:
1) Could not synchronize blog: System error: No such host is known
Maybe I have the RPC URL incorrect. What should go in that line?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I would love this to work with my blog.
‘RPC URL’ is your blog’s URL plus a ‘/xmlrpc.php’
so it would be http://www.politicaldisgust.com/xmlrpc.php most likely. Homeurl would be just the base url like http://www.politicaldisgust.com
I have used it with my wizard and windows mobile 6.1 It worked fine for me but maybe there is something keeping it from working on a newer phone. Hopefully it will be something easy to figure out and you can get it going.

Something Useful for Opera Mobile Users

Opera/Opera Mobile lets you add extra engines (and search types) to the search bar in the browser. I've added quite a few useful ones that other users might find helpful to the file here: http://pastebin.com/LCjLs2Rs
Directions on how to use it are in the file.
NOTE: You will need opera on the desktop as well until adding searches directly to the phone is fixed. See the note at the end of this post on a workaround for it currently needed until opera or one of us fixes it.
Searches currently added (besides default):
Google/youtube video search (high quality videos only)
Google images (default/2MP/6MP)
Google lucky search (type a term, takes you to the site if it has a match)
Google maps (may not be as useful on the phone obviously)
Google news
Google finance
abbreviation lookup
linux man page search
stack exchange search
hacker news search (http://news.ycombinator.com/)
webster dictionary lookup
php.net function search
duck duck go search engine
ohnorobot comic search
wikiquote search
...more to come whenever
Currently trying to manually add searches on the phone by adding search.ini to /data/data/.com.opera.browser/opera/search.ini in the same format as the desktop version currently does not work. You can hack around that by just using opera link to sync to the desktop version though after adding them there.
Another useful feature if you use both opera desktop and mobile:
https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/opera-to-phone/1.3.4/
Lets you send links to your phone using opera + chrome to phone app
