Looking for something I can load onto my TyTn to automatically upload photos to Flickr. I looked around but all i seem to find is places like Shozu and other applications that don't work on my phone. Is there anything out there like this?
Thanks for any help.
why doesn't shozu work? that's the best one in my opinion. The only other thing I can think of is using the mobile flickr site on pocket ie! good luck
yahoo go
the Yahoo Go software allows you to upload pictures from your phone to Flickr

There are quite a few apps that will upload your pictures to the cloud (be it flickr, Live etc) but thats not where I want my pictures, I want them at home on my PC.
I have what I hope is a great idea which I hope would be relatively easy to implement.
Why not use a dedicated G-mail account (created by the user) as a repository for pictures, and have a client on each side (phone and desktop) upload and download the pictures.
I see it working this way:
1) You have an app on the phone keeping an eye out for new pictures taken, and when a pic is taken it automatically puts it in the outbox of a dedicated g-mail account as an e-mail with an attachment.
2) Pocket Outlook e-mails the pictures as normal to g-mail.
3) On the desktop, whenever your pc is on, a dedicated e-mail client, using imap or pop, downloads the pictures and then deletes the e-mail. Since g-mail allows many gigabytes of storage your pc wont need to be on all the time, just every once in a while to clear out your e-mail account, and all your pictures are automatically and wirelessly downloaded to your pc.
Advantages - because the normal WM e-mail system is used, you dont need to be connected all the time, you could set it to send and receive 2-3 times per day so it wont have to suck battery. Also because G-mail is used as an intermediary your pc does not have to be on constantly for this to work.
What do people think. To me it sounds feasible and not very complicated. Anyone want to take up the challenge?

Have you seen this, PocketPicasa. It uploads pictures direct to your Google photo album. If you have a decent data tariff it will upload directly or you can set it to email them when you do have a connection.
i think the developer has plans to include offline browsing of your uploaded photos in the near future.
i am using it with Picasa 3 on the PC to synch photos from my desktop. So any i take with my phone and upload are then downloaded next time i run Picasa on the PC.

Does Picassa automatically download photos from your online gallery to your desktop?
Also I think the solution I propose would use a simpler client on both ends, and you wont run into restrictions like e.g. on flickr you can only upload 150 pictures a month (I dont know what picassa's limit is, but the desktop client is very heavy).
The whole point is that it would be seamless and completely automatic.

i have uploaded 200+ images in one go so i don't think there are many restrictions there.
Not sure on the downloading as i haven't really tried it yet.

Downloading is what its all about. I'm not into web 2.0 - I want my data on my PC, not in the cloud.

Would be sweet, but there is no WM client yet.

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 just installed the facebook app... Although it looks quite nice, it seems to have a major problem with the comments: For example, if several people comment on my (or a friend's) status update, only the uppermost comment is shown. You do not even know that other comments exist!
Since FB is a social networking tool, and the comments (and the "likes" for that matter, which also seem not be supported) are a fundamental way to communicate within it, the app will be of no use unless these issues are addressed. I do not know whether there is a newer version of FB for mobile available soon, but this one unfortunately is of no use to me...

You can uploading photo to FB with the client Facebook of Microsoft, but you must have a good data connection and the photo should have a resolution of 1M
max

I upload from my TD2 by email - see http://www.facebook.com/mobile/?ref=pf. Just click on 'send my upload email to me now' and you will be given a dedicated email address.
To send photos, tap the envelope icon in the TD2 album and enter the email address. Whatever you put in the subject line of the email then appears as the photo caption.
Use ShoZu for uploading, gives you a popup immediatly when you've snapped a photo, "upload to facebook?".
Use FB integration for other FB-use. (search forum: "Facebook integration, what is it and how to get it back")
I used to use Vringo which would sync my facebook friend's photos to my phone as contact photos.
It really was a great app, but Vringo has changed direction as a company and is no longer offiering this.
Does anybody know of a similar app or service that will do this?
Thanks !!!
ive had to flash my phone and it resync'd with outlook and all my contact pictures on htc hd2 (ALMOST 100 of them have pictures) are blurry..
is there a easy fix for this? or do i have to manually fix them all by searching my caller id pics on storage card?
Thanks for any help
Seconded. This is really annoying.
for high resolution pics of contacts, use iconsoft phone extension, and add the pics to the contacts from there...
Third for this! I just did it with the one at a time, took a while >_<

tnx mate, that was great info, but, the trial software will last few more days, and I need permanent solution.
It would be great if somebody cam make freeware simple app "add/edit picture contacts in high quality mode". app designed only for that one task.
Do u have a cub
