Hi guys!
I'm used to SPB Mobile Shell weather that update automatically when I connect the usb cable. So I always got the weather updated when I needed. I set the touchflo 3d weather to automatically update but It seems that only try to do that when I enter the tab.... there is no fix to it? (i dont use data plans so I want to update only when active sync connect)
I have asked already the same questions a few weeks ago
(see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441508) but I have never received an answer.
I don't think that it is possible.

Hi
I wrote a little app called Fonebook which syncs your facebook friends photos into your outlook contacts - when you then sync with your phone you get the profile image.
Im looking at adding a few more features and possibly creating a "Pro" version to try and recoup the cost of the library Im having to use so I can get full sized images into outlook (the outlook api sucks!)
Im not sure which windows phone allow the caller id to be full screen (I know mine doesnt!) - if you know of anywhere I might be able to get a list of smartphones/pda's which support this could you point me in that direction please!
If you have any ideas for this type of application, or have any suggestions when it comes to creating a "pro" version of something as oppose to relying on donations could you please fill in this short survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=xOAJWNgBXsnGAopW7zqDNQ_3d_3d
Thanks for reading this (the current version of the app is here in case you are curious: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2442338999
Thanks

you might wanna take a look at s2u2 it's a iphone slider app which gives us wm touch screen users full screen caller id if there was a way for your app to resize the facebook pictures to the size of the screen wqvga, qvga, vga, wvga
you may also want to look at skybook. I think it has a similar feature where it takes the profile picture from facebook and adds it to your contacts picture. I tried it once with skybook and it worked fairly well until I received errors with logging in, so I uninstalled it.
using the new facebook app from winmo 6.5 and don't have any issue logging in, only problem is that I can't update the photos like in skybook.
I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
good luck
I would also be interested in some way to sync the contact details from Facebook to WM.
people tend to keep facebook up to date with phone numbers email addresses etc, and it would be handy to have this information downloaded automatically.
EDIT: I see you have covered the fact that Facebook block this option on the page above, but I still think its a worthy idea and have joined the petition!
Fosimo was the only thing that I could get to work for syncing facebook data. My only complaint was that it added everyone's birthdays to my calendar...
I like the idea behind this, however, I do not use outlook on my home pc.
Does this work without hooking your phone to your PC? I ask because I rarely ever sync my phone with my home PC, I do sync to my work PC but I don't sync the email, and it's a work pc, so no facebook there....
I know that new SPB mobile shell program does this but I really don't see a point in installing that and keeping it around just to sync outlook pictures. I prefer to use my touchflo that came installed on my phone. I just picked up a Fuze, my old phone was an 8525 and SPB was the best solution for it...
Is there a standalone program that would do the same thing?
You really should put a mirror of that file somewhere else, man. SkyDrive is being broken. I was searching for an app like that, saw Fonebook and OutSync. i don't care which one I get, i just want a link. Hors Skydrive, please.
well to be honest fonebook is the best app i saw so far for syncing facebook contact pics with outlook contacts.
i liked the feature to be able to choose manually which facebook contact corresponds to an outlook contact. (a missing feature to many other apps)
the only problem it has is that at the moment almost everyone use high resolution screen mobile phones with vga and wvga and the pics that sync with your app are very small and blurry when viewed in full screen incoming call apps like s2u2 that most people use. so a great addition to your app would be to add an option to download the contact pics to a chosen resolution that corresponds to vga/wvga/qvga/wqvga and to save the cashe somewhere in the pc even.
please keep this project up and running and update it asap
Got a Topaz, and have TF3D (the touchy interface from HTC), set that up to sync image to facebook.
So My images go Facebook -> phone -> outlook
instead of Facebook -> outlook -> phone
Works for me.
Personally, I don't think there's much money to be made on this (a pro version) when newer phones have this built in, and there's already other good free apps out there, unless you can add some seriously impressive functions, and even then, the free competitors would soon add those same features.

Hope can syncs the high resolution pics in next version.
And is it cannot syncs the birthday if the user didn't type the birthday year?
I can't seem to find any way for the clock to auto-update itself to keep it accurate!
There doesn't seem to be any option unless I've missed it..
Does anyone know how to do this?
try "SmartTimeSync 1.1"
but is there any way without having to install a seperate program?
Activesync syncs the time too... you don't need any if you sync with your pc often.
perhaps you listen to radio from time to time?
PowerRadio has an option to sync via RDS (if I remember right - have not used it in some time)
also there are many tools to sync via timeserver or gps...
I have to agree with the OP. Why isn't there a way to sync time natively on the phone? All of my other phones do.
As already said, clock is automatically synchronized when device is connected to a PC via Activesync or WMDC. In Activesync it is enabled by default but can be disabled in Options. I personally use GPS2Blue to get date&time from GPS sats..no need for a connection nor a pc,easy.
Hi Guys,
Love the work you've all been doing - I love tinkering with my HD2
One thing I've been looking for is some way to set appointments in the calendar to repeat every 3 weeks. I'm not much of an outlook user, so I'd rather avoid having to set it up and sync the appointments (as I'm guessing would be an easy solution) and I'd like to use the default calendar app if possible.
Anyone know if this is an easy fix?
Cheers
Ross
PS
I'm after a 3 week repeat as it'll allow me to schedule in my shift pattern!
hey mate, thats a tricky one.
in HTCs stock calendar, there are only 3 recurrence options (weekly, monthly and yearly). but if you chose to set your appointments using your PC, then sync your calendars... im pretty sure outlook will let you have more control. keeping in mind... successfully syncing a PPC with your PC using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center can be a serious challenge.
alternatively, you can try a third party calendar app (maybe ThumbCal) and see if they will let you have greater customization. if you dont want to USE the third party app, you can install it - set up your appointments - then uninstall. hopefully this will have saved your appointments into outlook mobile (which is what powers HTCs calendar).
the third option is to simply set each appointment manually... this may seem like a bit of a monotonous task, but if youre setting 3 week intervals... you could probably set 2 years worth of reminders within 5-10 minutes.
good luck man.
cheers.
Hi, if you are still looking for a shift rota app you should take a look at MobileRota, free to try it out for a month, it works well for me.
Not sure if this was covered but the Focus has a bug in the calendar. If I want to make a recurring event I can't make it every other week. I hope they fix this in the next version. It's quite annoying.
I don't know if you sync your calendar with Live, but there are a lot more options when you create the calendar entry in Live and sync it to the phone. I use that for my more custom entries.
For example, WP7 only allows some basic Calendar reminder times. In Live, there are many more options and when you choose one, the Custom option shows up in WP7 even though you can't access it directly from WP7.
I did correct the "problem" in Live. It's just annoying trying to do it online while on the phone and a regular PC isn't available.
That is the way it is when the product is released to the public before it is actually ready.

This is Microsoft, so it is not a bug. It is a feature that keeps you safe from those pesky bi-weekly appointments. They are outdated and nobody should have any need for them anymore.
Get with the program, will you?

I realized that I should have put "missing feature" instead of "bug." Unfortunately for me, though, those darn bi-weekly appointments keep coming back to haunt me. Just when I thought it was safe....
Same boat here... I have had to enter those on my GMail calendar instead.
