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")

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.

Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.

for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.

^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?

I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

The problem exists in HTC's PEOPLE app but not in the CONTACTS app located in the Outlook folder in the START menu.

Copy and paste works fine for me in contacts, just tap on the field, then tap and hold, menu pops up and select Cut, Copy, etc...

facebook sync problem

hi guys. my first thread here. sorry if i do sth wrong.
i have a sync problem with facebook. am using official 1.61 rom.
when i try to upload a photo with media uploader, or try to change my status (all people/me/facebook ) it works fine. but i havent associated any of my contacts with facebook. when i try to link i cant find any matches. and also i cant see my or others photo albums (albums/F). my chachesize registry is default (0).
sorry if this asked before. i searched forum but couldnt solve this.
thx..

1) When I try to link I can't find any matches
The matching program is pretty straight forward, it looks for first name AND last name, and they need to be exactly the same otherwise it won't find it. Do you have full names for everyone in your list?
2) I haven't associated any of my contacts with facebook // I cant see others photo albums
Well if you haven't associated any contacts, you won't see any albums...?
3) I can't see my albums
I'm not sure about that one.

"this network connects to the internet" checkbox is checked. no proxy.
i still can update my status. it works without wi-fi. but cant see albums. allways it says "this user has no albums to display" (

could be related to the recent changes that fb have been rolling out. my missus has had nothing but trouble with fb this past month. never anything on her wall, has to jump back and forth between pages for around 2 minutes before it populates.

i dont think so. coz it works fine when i connect via wi-fi.

solved.
the problem was my connection. it doesnt work if i connect via edge. it works fine if i use 3g or hspda. it s really annoying tht it doenst give any error report or msg about this.
thx all

Interesting, I have the same exact problem on my phone, even when it's connected to 3G. Any ideas?

HTC Sync Update for HTC Aria 07.09.2010

HTC Sync™ lets you synchronize Outlook and Windows Address Book (Outlook Express), contacts and calendar events on your PC with your phone. It also lets you install third-party Android applications on the phone, and the Mobile Network sharing function as well.
HTC Sync 3.0.5372

I like the 3rd party app addition. Now let's see if it actually works.

I wonder if maybe this will allow me to root my ARIA? the 2.0.38 or however they show the version numbers had not been seeing my phone no matter what I tried.

I was thinking the same thing as i refuse to register my device just to download sync software, it was not like this when i downloaded HTC_Sync_2.0.38 a few weeks ago, and i can download HTC_Sync_2.0.40 without registering a serial easily and use it with no issues, matter a fact i was using HTC_Sync_2.0.40 to sync my outlook and calender even before HTC_Sync_2.0.38 was released so why make us register the device?

Here ya go - http://gruberphotos.com/download/

used it to get swype on stock non rooted aria, little slow but worked just fine.

Ok, after using this new version i must say that its a step backwards. I like the new GUI and all the eye candy and the ability to install .APK files but it lacks the basic functionality that the HTC_Sync_2.0.38 had.
For instance the old version told you at a glance the number of contacts in outlook and events on the outlook calender, where it is at during the contact syncing and calender syncing. It also gave you more advanced options on syncing.
On this new version Outlook must be set as you default mail client for it to connect with it which is completely bogus. On first connect the device synced on it own using the latest modified data which created duplicated in outlook and my phone, deleted the duplicates from my phone and tried to sync again and it completely wiped the data from outlook, i used the nandroid to restore the contacts to the phone and tried to sync again to get everything back where it was.
A bit angry with the music syncing. The files sync to /Music/ then the full file directory. so if you music is stored in c/:users/username/my documents/music you media wll be synced in the same structure /Music/c/users/username/my documents/music which is more complex than it needs to be. A simple music folder with music/Artist/album is sufficient. Then it took 1 hour to sync 3.8GB of music, that same 3.8 GB takes less than 15 if i remove the card from the device and put in in the card reader.
Long story shorty, im reverting back to HTC_Sync_2.0.40. Sometimes less is more.
Funny that now the new sync is no longer availble on HTC site and the link was changed back to HTC_Sync_2.0.38

Hmmm...
You probably want to get on the ball with finding this software as it really has been pulled from the site. Some people have upped the new version for download, so do a search, grab it while its hot and sit on it if you want to sideload with the software (without rooting).
Edit: You can grab it from this thread if you don't have it already

I downloaded this one, the one from HTC's site (before it was removed) and even tried the old version (.38) and NONE of them recognize my phone when I plug it in and tell the phone to use HTC Sync. The phone tries to find it running on my PC but can't. Any ideas? I'm running Win7 64.

Fascinate stock email app & attachments

I have found that using the stock email app doesn't allow you to "open" or attach PDF files to emails.
I have three email accounts connected to the stock email app, Exchange, Gmail and Hotmail.
1) If I send an Excel or Word document to any of these accounts I get the option to "save" or "open" the attachment. However, if I send a PDF document to any of these accounts the only option is to the "save" the file. Then I have to go find it using a file manager before I can open it. I have tried Adobe PDF viewer & Thinkfree that comes on the device and neither will allow me to open PDFs in the email app.
2) The stock email application will not allow me to attach any files other than pictures. When I click attach it brings up the file manager (it appears to be the stock "my files" application) which allows me to view the SD card and won't show any other file types other than picture types. I have multiple PDFs on the SD card in various folders and NONE of them show up as being able to be attached to the email.
The weird part is that if I use the "Gmail" email application (the one that only allows gmail accounts) I can open PDFs straight from the Gmail application without saving first. I can also attach any file type using this application.
Does the stock email application suck this bad? My two co-workers with Dincs have no problem doing either of the above things.

I tried Touchdown, Maildroid & K9. They all attach all file types & open files directly from the email.
Does anyone elses mail app exhibit the same behavior as mine? Or did mine get messed up somehow.

The issue actually appears to be related to what program the email app will allow you to use to find attachments.
The stock mail program appears to use My Files, but it only allows you to see picture files. The Gmail program will only use "Gallery" to find attach files if you don't have a file explorer installed.
I have Astro installed and if you use the Gmail program and try to attach something it will ask you if you want to use Astro or the Gallery. I then went and uninstalled Astro and went back to attach a file through the Gmail App and it only allowed me to use the Gallery app to look for attachments.
So the problem actually DOES exist in the Gmail app, but the Gmail app will let you use other file explorers to look for attachments.
I just cant see how that got past whatever process they use in developing their app.... How can you design a mail app that doesn't allow you to attach anything but picture files.... I mean thats just ridiculous.
I would not recommend the Fascinate to be honest just because of this issue. Sure it can be worked around using other email apps and downloading file explorers. Its not that big of a deal if you only use Gmail, but if you heavily use exchange and have to rely on the mail app or a 3rd party mail app it sucks.

I ran into this just last night actually when I tried to open a pdf from an email.

So I emailed samsung to ask if this was intentional or not. They didn't give me a real good answer but here is what they said.
"Thank you for your inquiry. With the SCH-I500 mobile phone, you can only attach picture file types. If you would like to attach other files such as PDF files, you need to download an application through the android market for PDF application."
To me, that sounds like this was intentional and the stock mail app will never have the ability to attach anything other than pictures.

Out of curiosity, with all the great email apps that you mentioned having tried, why not just use one that does what you need it to do? That's one of the great things about Android: the stock apps are just there to get you started!
