Hello everyone, I am very new to the WM interface and this is my first touch-screen phone as I had a BB Bold for ages.
Just wondering why my Facebook App (already pre-installed on the phone) doesn't recieve notifications when someone inboxes, writes on my wall etc!?
I attempted Skybook but that didn't work either
Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks
Hi there and welcome to xda.
As far as i know or noticed, it is not possible. U will have to run the app to see notifications or messages. I gotta admit its not the best FB app, but personally im not too fussed as i hardly use it. But if you are a hardcore facebook user, u might get a little fustrated.
Alot of people have mentioned and will continue to mention that Microsoft/WinMo need to up the ante a bit more, but hopefully we will see improvements with certain apps with WinMo 7.
ah ryt thanks, guess ill b using facebook mobile for a while then lol

You probably already know, but when u go to facebook mobile site and u scroll to the bottom, there is an option for facbook TOUCH. Go there as it is much more finger friendly.

Nope. Facebook for WinMo is just garbage.

Agree'd, it's quite pathetic to tell the truth. I just use Opera 10 and view facebook in full html. Yeah, it's not the fastest but it looks better than facebook mobile and Microsoft's facebook app.
I just don't understand how Microsoft could let the world's most active social networking site slip past their only mobile OS. I guess they are just too busy working on WP7S. :|
don't forget about the lite.facebook.com, works great in mobile browsers (any) no need to view full-on..
strange, I've never got one notification from the Facebook app in 2 years (since I had it on my Shadow too) do you have to always keep it running in order for you to get notifications??

lol, ok, I think I got it now! somehow I thought you guys were referring to notifications that would somehow pop up like a 3rd-party icon (a la Palringo notifications)
Must admit, the Facebook app for the HTC HD2 is pants. Before I had the HTC, I was on Blackberry Storm, and loved the Facebook app, as it used to download my alerts in real time.
But with the HTC HD2 I have to log in each time on the app, and have to refresh the facebook app. Complete rubbish I think.
Anyone know is the Facebook app on the HTC HD2 is going to get any better?
You have an Opera browser and a big screen -make use of it!
Where's the point in using a stupid app for things that are way easier directly in the browser?
I find the app quicker, and more convenient! Well it was on the Blackberry Storm anyway...
hey dude, i know how you feel... i was a bit dissapointed with the facebook app at first but then i waited for a while, i tryed looking for a alternative third party app but nothing was any good, then i found a CAB on here for the new facebook for resistive screen phones, someone had made it work with HD2 and it works great, much better than the old one
i did a review of it on my youtube channel, you should check it out

Actually the constant need to log in is a bug. Everytime I flash a ROM, one of the first thing I do is to run the Facebook app, and tick the save login option. After that it never asks for login again....but you'll still have to refresh manually. I'm guessing it's more of a conflict with another installed apps or just general winmo weirdness.
Otherwise, yeah, the apps is pretty pathetic.
FB
Does anyone else have the problem that it saves the pics from Facebook into an album on the device memory, and then when you go into your albums you have tons and tons of albums because each pic is saved as an album?

I have the option "save details" ticked, but I have to type in my details everytime. Hence why I get frustrated!
Im using m.facebook.com for the time being, until HTC sort the facebook app out.

First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.
Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.
Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..
m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.

That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do.

Wow! touch.facebook.com works perfectly for me, thanks for that! All Facebook apps have been made redundant.

Can you tell me where to find this fix, i found the one that requires using the registry editor but there are at least 60 folders with anywhere from 1 to 4 photos in each.
they are only little thumbnails as well
they way i read the registry tweak, it says to input each individual folder in...
The HTC Facebook ALbum hotfix (just installed) does not stop it downloading tiny pics from FB of all your contacts.
As from the HTC site:
restores the ability to view your friends’ photo albums
This suggests its related to privacy settings, and the app's ability to now process that correctly.
(i.e. able to view them online, but app wouldn't allow you to)
Can you point me in the direction of the registry fix for it?
Hi, my available device memory is down to 18mb, and I haven't really stored much there. Could it be due to the Facebook app, which keeps storing the pics in Device Memory? In that case, how do I free up this space?
In HD2 General go to Hints page and do what is sudgested in No:64 than install an App called ClearTemp in the Menu click sellect all and and clean once a day at least.it will take just a few seconds.
Edit::looks on the hint page is not cleare enough".
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored
Add a new string: Name – Facebook Cache,
Value – \temp\imagecache
That should be \fbimagecache
and it worked.
Thanks for that.
I didn't know a good name for the thread but, whatever.
So, I recently exchanged my HD2 for a new one, and the ROM was upgraded on the new one (I think). It's 3.14.561.1 WWE. I used to be able to sync my Facebook with my contacts on my old phone, but for some reason it doesn't work. When you go to Link the Facebook with a contact, it's supposed to show up their picture, but instead, it show's the grey head. After browsing, I noticed theres nothing in \Windows\FBContacts, but 3 random picture's in \Temp\fbimagecache. I'm between a rock and a hard place. Facebok v1.1.0.26
tl;dr Would having 3.14 ROM and this v of fb make a difference?
Mod please close.
i am also looking for some app that allows me to link my contacts FB friends manually
Hopefully someone can help me with this. It's annoying :/

Few minutes ago i wanted to download WhatsApp once again. But there was no whatsapp in the Store.
What happend ?
I wrote yesterday an mail to WhatsApp with the message that i have huge problems with WhatsApp on my Lumia 920 and it dosente work quite well. They answerd me something like that "We´re sorry we already know that WhatsApp doesent work very well on WP. We cant tell you when we´re goin to fix it for WP8. We´re sorry".
Does someone knows more than me ?
I want WhatsApp back :crying:

It is probably made unavailable in some regions.
got news direclty from Nokia. The App was removed from the German Store because of some iuesses.
okay, its back in store.
Nope, its been pulled from the marketplace (store), known issues perhaps with random rebooting.
