facebook and HTC Album - HD2 General
I love the intergraded facebook functionality, specially the photo feature to view them in HTC Album.
Now I can view albums from a lot of users, but from some others I can't.. while in the standalone facebook app, which sucks compared to HTC Album, I can view the albums ok.
Now this could be due to certain facebook account/privacy settings, but I've tried about every setting I can find in facebook but my own albums won't show up in HTC Album.
Am I missing a setting? or is this just a known bug?
I've set the permissions for the albums to "Everyone", as well as the photo application permission settings itself. And the profile share privacy settings for photos is checked (and everything else just to make sure) but still they won't show.. they do show in the standalone facebook app but I would really like them to show up in HTC Album.
Any advice or help is much appreciated!
Had the same issue, apparently it's about the privacy settings of the users. If some of them don't have their picture in your phone, it means that your phone was unable to retrieve it due to some settings they made in their original facebook account

I understand that, but what about my own albums?
Up for this question!
Can you guys see your own albums just fine on HTC album?
It says "The user has no albums to display"
but I know I have albums!

I just had this issue, then realised that I recently changed my facebook password and didnt reflect this in the integrated version. So now, it tells me that I have albums, but the images wont load up...the loading animation just goes around in circles.....
Yes I can see mine no problem at all.

that happend to the albums of the ones that I could see when I had the camera icon disabled in the registry.. if you've also done that, turn it back on..
I am quit new to facebook and the users that I can see albums from are quit long term users.. maybe it takes a while... or it has something to do with new facebook accounts..
Yes with similar problem too. I can see the album names but no pictures can be displayed, HTC Album only shows me a 'forbidden-like' icon. The problem will not occur while the ROM is freshly installed, but will happen after few days.

Try this?
Hope it works for you.
I just got my HD2 from tmobile yesterday. Initially, I was able to view contacts' facebook photos either through the facebook app or directly from their contact page. However, for some reason, I am no longer able to (I either get "Fetching" eternally, when using the app, or "user has no albums to display" when trying through contacts).
Obviously I'm using the factory ROM, I've tried a hard reset (no luck) and have also tried ensuring that the relevant cache is properly set, but my problem remains.
Edit: I also get an error if I attempt to go through Albums to the facebook user.
i have the same issue... one contact i can see the albums the others i don't
Also, my phone info:
ROM: 2.10.531.1 (82076) WWE
Manilla: 2.5.20121412.1
Fresh off of a hard reset, first thing I tried was the facebook app, and it hangs on "fetching."
Same here...I have tried different Rom's too and it's the same. I believe it has to do something related to the new facebook privacy settings...possible a setting on each individual profile to block external application from accessing?
mine hangs on 'fetching' also, us hd2.....
it seems implausible that it is a facebook privacy setting: mine works sometimes, and it does not seem to depend on the user either. one time, after a hard reset, i could see one friend's photos, but only for a few hours. then it hung on fetching. I'm using the factory us tmobile rom and trying to view facebook albums immediatly after a hard reset. some user's photos will show (consistently) others will show (but will stop displaying after a short period), and some won't show at all. it is not consistent across users.
is the facebook app simply bad? does it work consistently for anyone? if so, what are.your settings, if you don't mind sharing? i'd really appreciate any help, this seems like too significant a feature to simply not work, i'm hoping that i'm just missing something. thanks
edit: starting a new thread. having re-read the OP's problem, mine (and some of the others') problems do seem substantially different.
I am having the, "i cant see my own photos" problem. Every thing else seems to work fine. I would just like my own pics to load so i can tag them when i upload them
I even tried installing the app to storage card instead of using the cooked in app in the NRG rom. The Tilt 2's we used before didnt have this problem and i just checked my daughters app this morning on her tilt 2 and its working normal. Though mine and my wifes HD2's dont get 3g, we have even tried on WIFI
Tried This?
I experienced a similar problem recently. Heres what I did -
-Downloaded the newest FB app from Windows Marketplace.
-Input user name and password and confirmed it working and could view
albums in the app itself
-Turned off automatic updates, then turned back on
After that, the albums seemed to work and fully load. Essentially what I think happened in my case was I had an older version, downloaded a new one and never reset my FB settings on the HD2 settings tab for data services (so it didnt see me as an allowed user, rather a "guest" FB account trying to view an album). Then I could access HTC Albums and see all the pictures again. Again, may work for you, may not. Just an idea that worked for me.
Definitely worth trying tho.
Good luck, let me know if it helps anyone.
That didnt help me at all. Its random and i had my pics load in the app a couple times, with only place holders, no thumbs, but its after logging out in sense and restarting. Only some times though. Most of the time it just sits there loading forever
I can see all my pics in the albums just fine at all times, and i see all others too. Im just trying to get the app to load them so i can tag if i need to, like the other day when i found out this problem exsists
I figured out a way (a trick) to get my photos to load so i can go in and tag. I setup facebook app to rotate in BSB tweaks and now when i go to my photos in facebook app and it sits there with the animate loading, i just turn my phone and the place holders show up. Good enough! Then flip the phone back and go in and tag the mobile uploads.

Facebook App - Friend tab not updating correctly
Hi all Sorry to post about this again, Samsamuel has been really helpful but we haven't managed to resolve the issue and I think my last thread title was missleading. A few days ago I went to the friends tab in the Facebook app and selected to 'refresh'. Unlike in the other tabs I didn't get the 'red, blue, yellow, green egg timer thingy', it just sat there until my friends were updated. However, once the update completed I was left with two copies of each friend. One with their new status listed, one with their old. Now no matter how many times I refresh, I don't get the egg timer and I still have their old status as well as their current. I have tried un / reinstalling with no joy. After an uninstall, does facebook leave any files behind that could be getting picked up be the new install, thus carrying the problem over to the fresh install? Any suggestions would be gratefully received!
Is thi the new facebook cab?? wat version?

Click to collapse just to let you know I never see the 4 color timer on this screen either...not that it helps...just thought you should know.
Its the version available from Windows Marketplace v1.007 I believe.
Mine was working until a few days ago, now like yourself, when i update (i dont get the coloured icon as well) but it does say updating but then displays the old update. In addition, it will show the small thumbnail photo for peoples photo albums but when you select them, it says "no photos or videos found". *got mine working again by start / settings / social networks - facebook (turning off then on again so it resynced). worked for me

In the meantime I am use the Facebook Instant Messenger (fim) which is working quite good beside messaging also for accessing facebook. Try it. Find it under mosko.mobi, google it you will find it.
Explian an issue I am facing with Favorites on all ROM's
OK.... I have followed all ways to wipe HD2 with task 29 and Mitty and tried various ROM's that all give me the same lockup. Need your help please or guidince. I used ActvieSync on the HD2 device , I synced with google and used m.google.com for the server name. I only selected contacts which I have just 500. After that is done, I took a picture of my buddy with the camera. I then went to favorites, and added a contact with mobile number, I then selected the photo I just took. moved it around to adjust, then I hit done.... and the unit freezes, sluggish and very very slow.... So then I reset'ed the phone, and still useless, very very slow and cant even get to the home screen. all because I added a favorite. Is it because its trying to upload something or just another issue. I took out the battery and started, I did not hard reset after each ROM, since I did use task 29 with Mitty. Can someone advice me, or its a known issue?? I used ROM's: Energy.Leo.21895.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila.Mar.26 Energy.Leo.23549.Sense2.5_with_MaxManila_TMobile_USA.Mar.26 Energy.Leo.23549.Sense2.5_TMobile_USA.Mar.26.7z I doubt all these have this issue???

try different roms... 'cause those three are all the same coocker...
I had this happen with a contact @ work. I fully removed him from outlook contacts and re-added. Fixed it for some reason. May want to try that on your google/server end?

Facebook App... Grr!
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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7dDxLrP2GI
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?

Tunay said: Umm, HTC has fixed this. Hotfix was relased months back! Click to expand... Click to collapse 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.
Mediascape - What now!?
Ok so before when viewing photos in mediascape I learned that you could tap the mail icon and there would be an option to upload to my picasa web album. Well suddenly it is no longer available?? The only thing that ive done to change anything on my phone since this took place is to install Helixlauncher, which I don't think would screw with that. Any thoughts??

Any thoughts?? Click to expand... Click to collapse In order to basically get back to where you started (option to upload picasa web album) you'll need to follow some basic steps.... 1. Uninstall Helixlaucher 2. Stop asking silly questions 3. Wouldn't you think that if everything was as you wanted it before you installed an app, things went "wrong" after installation of said app, that it only stands to reason if you uninstall that very same app, you'll be at square one again? 4. Now THIS was a problem. (Just read my friend. Just read) Which was solved with a little bit of know how!
[Q] Friend stream widget scroll to top on update behaviour
I like the friend stream widget from HTC, cause it shows both Twitter and facebook messages. However, when it updates - manually or automatically - it jumps to the top of the list, where the newest message is. Imo that's annoying, I'd rather have it stay at the latest message I already read, so I can read on in a chronological order and don't have to remember where I was. Is this behaviour controllable? I don't see any option for it in the menu.
I agree, this is dead annoying. MoTweets on Windows Mobile was great for this. It would update and just put new stuff at the top of what you last read, meaning you could then read up in chronological order. I miss that from the friend stream app. I think the Twitter app does it fine, but the Facebook app jumps to the top as well, so using them separately is slightly better, but still not great.
The Twitter tab on WinMo HTC Sense did it well too. It can´t be that difficult.
