Hi Guys!
i've been searching for a long time but i didn't find anything...
i'm looking for a good facebook application which is like the one on the iPhone...because with the official MS Facebook App you can't comment anything
does anyone have a good facebook app for windows mobile 6.5?
I usually just use the full site, takes a while to load but works pretty good. Have you tried iphone.facebook.com?
hey
yes i'm using iphone.facebook.com at the moment...but i'm not very happy with it because the display of my x1 is smaller than the iphone's and i have to scroll all the time and it crashes sometimes
m.facebook.com works just great for me. Especially on the Opera browser, but it works great with all browsers, even PIE.
yes you're right with m.facebook.com but i don't like the design...it looks very confusing ...an that's the reason why i'm searching for an app which's like the iphone facebook app
have you tried the official Facebook app from Microsoft?

official facebook app does not show all comments on statud updates (only the latest) and IME, does not show as much content as the m.facebook.com site. I use the app for uploading pics only, and only on my Samsung Jack because they Fuze can do it the the HTC Album 2.5...
WM 6.5 with the official facebook app is great, it looks nice and even the inertia scrolling works.

I agree. I use m.facebook.com more (via FIM or Opera). But when I want to upload photos I use Office Facebook. I ditched iphone.facebook.com as m.facebook.com actually better
From you guys' experience, what's the most rated IM client on Android? I'd like to get one that is pretty good (or very good) for all the popular IMs.
I use Google's Talk. Low on resources. Obviously works well with Google.
I use Nimbuzz. Tried it for Gtalk but for some reason it stopped logging on properly and my Google contacts stopped coming up. It works best for me for Skype chats over wifi. A much quicker and cleaner client than Fring which I also tried.
I haven't tried AIM.
What do you guys recommend?
Ebuddy does, msn,yahoo, aim,gtalk, facebook icq etc all in one app. i find it very good
Also check out Palringo. Nice integration
ebuddy I think! using it now as we speak lol

I'm using Nimbuzz.. Its pretty cool I'll have to try out Parlingo and Ebuddy
Meebo anybody??
Using meebo right now seems fine to me
EBuddy is a bit more stylish

Cheers guys. I'm trying Ebuddy right now. One thing that I already like is the notifications are not annoying like another one I used which used it's own high pitched notification noise.
used meebo but switched to nimbuzz, cos it also has skype. otherwise meebo was ql.
I've been using MSN Droid for a week. It was pretty much ok, I liked the UI, it have all the usuall MSN options including avatar (it's missing "appear offline" feature only), but I noticed that it actually slows down my Desire (When I am in application and I press home button it takes at least 20 second to load my home screen, after that everything goes smoothly). It was enough annoyance for me so I decided to uninstall.
Now I am using eBuddy for several days and it seems very lightweight compared to MSN Droid. I really like integration of Facebook chat in it. Only feature that eBuddy is currently missing is personal avatar, but it might come with future update.
One particullar bug (or just something I haven't figured out yet) is that after I recieve message the phone indicator LED is not always blinking. Maybe someone else knows why on some messages the LED is blinking and not on the others?
Anyhow for the time being, eBuddy is my recommendation for you to try.
Cheers
Anyone know if it is possible to get the native android IM application working on the desire? The one that was ported from the g1 and modified to work on mobile internet/3g that is usually included on custom roms for the nexus one.
agile messenger and parlingo ar the best until now, at least from the one's that i've tested.
I like Im+ a lot, used it on my Windows Mobile X1 for a long time and bought it right away after switching to the Desire. Works great for me, unfortunately no Skype or Facebook as of now
I am having a gallery issue where I select a picture and and different picture loads. Sometimes from the same album or different album. Shutting down sometimes resolves the issue or a soft reset and sometimes it does not. Sometimes I have to go into USB mode and add or delete a picture for ot to work properly again. One time the images in my download album al appeared blurry. I downloaded a picture from my email and then they all appeared normal again. Anyone else have this gallery bug?

Another one of those mind boggling simple bugs in Gingerbread/Nexus S.
Yes, I've seen similar, in that if I take a picture, it often won't show in the gallery unless I open it via a file explorer app from the sdcard.
I haven't tried forcing a media scan manually (there are apps for that), to see if that addresses it.
The Nexus S feels much more like a BETA product (software wise) than I recall the Nexus 1 feeling.

I had this exact same problem. You have to delete all of the thumbnails for your photos so that they reload. The only thing is, the thumbnails are no longer stored in the DCIM folder like they were pre-Gingerbread. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly where they're stored - I used root explorer to find them and delete them.
/Android/data/
You will see a folder called 'com.cooliris.media' delete it. The gallery app will regenerate your album thumbs.

This problem has been reported to Google. Please visit the link and star the report to bring more attention to it!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13419 Thanks.
I mean wth do we have to go through all that to see our pics... they took forever to fix the text issue they said they have a fix for which we haven't received. The fix for blurry mms is fixed thank god. Now this? Yeah the N1 did feel like a better product but the updates helped that one too. These are stupid things that shouldn't be an issue though.

This issue happens on and off; it's quite absurd. My pictures are once again not opening to the correct photos. As I've said before, it's stuff like this (among a slew of other issues and glitches) which make Gingerbread, and to some degree Android, feel like a second rate experience.
Has anyone also experienced that sometimes pictures aren't clear in the gallery? Often, the picture will come up unclear, but after a second, will be clear as it's meant to be. But sometimes the clarity doesn't happen.
Does it have anything to do with the internal memory or something again (similar to the random ringtone change issue)?
Is this yet another glitch of Android?
Edit: I should mention this is not the MMS issue which is often mentioned. I'm talking about regular photos that are taken with the Camera. Those sometimes don't clear up either.
Yeah, I get this too.
I wait until all the pics are done downloading from the SD card... then I pick the picture.

It happens to me randomly even long after the SD card has loaded.
Why is the gallery reader like this anyway, where it is blurry at first, then clear?
Promise you its not androids fault. You will never EVER have a phone with HTC SENSE do that.

My gallery just freezes when trying to load. Sometimes the newest downloaded or pictures just taken won't show up, its random.

The low res fade into higher res gallery quirk is more of a feature and is how the gallery always has shown photos even back on the nexus one. It allows quick flipping enough photos without having to insanely cache everything in full from the start. It only should take a second to flick over though.
I'm loving the nexus s gallery performance. I'm sorry to hear some aren't as thrilled.
One if the posters spoke about this stuff not happening in htc - that's rubbish, the 3d gallery acts the same there too, only worse, because oh the lack of hyper fast inand. And the htc gallery is rubbish, it struggles to even show thumbnails if you have too many pics. I speak from experience owning the desire hd, which is the most powerful htc phone to date.
The wrong photo issue is completely fixed by clearing the photo cache and then restarting the device. It didn't clear up until the restart, for some reason.
I have some issues with the gallery as well. But I must say that it performs 10X better then it did on my N1, it was sooo slow and laggy on that thing!!!
Get JustPictures! from the market, way better that Gallery3d imo, plus you can access your picasa, flickr, facebook, smugmug, etc pics from there as well.
Android Gallery sucks ... It just sucks. It does not display in high quality, 16 bits instead of 24 bits. You will see terrible color banding on gradient colors.
Google just lied when they told us everything is 32 bits on Android 2.3.
Nah, that's not true.
I hate that because HTC Sense gallery is much better.
Skip that 3D animation transition, it is an image gallery. Without high quality output, that's no good.
JustPictures is the same, it still display terrible color banding.

I'm very happy with the Gallery performance, and as has been said the low res image fading to high res is a feature of the Android gallery, it's always done that on every handset I've owned.
The gallery has it's share of quirks/bug in the NS version of it, but agreed with others, the fading is a design feature, not a bug.
Has anyone encountered the situation wherein even the application images are in your gallery?
we're supposed to have the top of the line google phone, yet my gallery takes foreever to open and lags all the time. its so damn frustrating to have to wait for like 20 seconds just to view a picture i just took. it worked just fine before the 3.2.2 update. it seems like the phone is getting worse with each update instead of better. GOOGLE fix the **** that we need to work instead of other stupid things that no one can use right now
i switched to quickpic https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alensw.PicFolder and never looked back. superfast and displays the picture with more detail whenyou zoom in.
I agree with quickpic. I made the mistake of removing gallery, only to find out later other programs needed it for some function other than displaying pictures.
yeah the 3d gallery is a fail imo. luckily there is quickpic. havent had any problems yet w/o gallery3d.apk

I think I had some error when trying to send a pic or video or sound recording with stock messaging. I'm guessing it uses it to convert SMS to mms.
I don't know if it can be done but it would be nice to have a setting to change file associations with. More than what can be done now.
What are everyone's favourite apps to use on the EPD? Or just apps that look good on there and / or generally nice uses for it?
For example, other than the reading apps, I really like MD whatsapp and GO (chinese board game)

Hi
I just wonder how did you know that an app like Appy Geek has a dedicated widget for YotaPanel, something I couldn't find in any other apps.
Cheers.
Might not be a dedicated widget, but appy geek has a widget that can be applied to yotapanels.
I've found using maps on the EPD is great, especially if it's too bright outside to see the front screen, with the display always being on you can keep glancing at the screen without having to unlock it and easily follow the little dot as you head to your destination. I use google maps and Maps.Me with the latter looking much better on the EPD (plus it doesn't suffer google maps annoying quirk of the little direction arrow pointing backwards to the direction of travel on the mirrored map)

I like it as you can download maps as you need them, you can then wander rounds foreign places and network back spots with no data required

A couple of emulators work really well on the EPD.
PHEM: Palm Hardware Emulator runs great, and since all the old Palm apps were designed for greyscale devices anyway, they work fine. I've freaked a few people out when I show them I have Android running on one side of my phone, and Palm on the other side.
Similarly, GBC.emu from Robert Broglia runs great, and the old Gameboy games are at home on the display.
In both cases, the minor screen update delays and artifacting actually seem to add to the experience, since these old systems had displays that were sluggish anyway.
Thanks for the pointer to GBC.emu - I installed it after reading your post and have been enjoying some old school Gameboy play that takes me back to when I first got it all that time ago (nearly 25 years....geeezzzz...that makes me feel old!).
Have been really enjoying QuizUp recently and it's brilliant on the back. The EPD allows for ages of gameplay with hardly any drain
This appeared on Twitter today, it is apparently "yotafit" but there is nothing in the app store of that name or even on a Google search, anyone know about this? I'd like it!
Edit....The reply to my question on twitter about the app....."It is a new app called Yota fit that will be included in the next software update (lollipop)"
Sent from my YD201 using XDA Free mobile app
That's good to know - thanks. I saw that on twitter this morning and it reminded me first of all of the Google Fit app in look but I could not replicate the screen. Good to hear that it is real and not just vapourware!

I wish i spoke Russian!
There's some amazing looking new stuff coming for the EPD and lollipop too, can't wait!

Fbreader now has support for yota devices and the pdf plugin makes reading pdfs on rear screen a joy
Are there any WhatsApp designed for epd
Disa is pretty good on the EPD, also by it combining all the messaging you can have all of them on the back in 1 app, the interface is also well suited to the back.

Please explain how you've managed to work out PDFs? So far Fbreader works great with file formats like: docx, txt or epub but I failed to find the way to display PDFs on the backscreen - even with that plugin... For PDFs the icon that should send the display on the backscreen ('cueved arrow') is replaced by "Network Library". Do you experienced the same?
To be honest I failed to display and scroll PDFs on the Yotaphone backscreen so far If you know the way - please help and explain.
Really enjoying the yotanotes app and having a notification list on the EPD at the moment.
the Kindle app works for pdfs, as does wps office.
