Agree'd, it's quite pathetic to tell the truth. I just use Opera 10 and view facebook in full html. Yeah, it's not the fastest but it looks better than facebook mobile and Microsoft's facebook app.
I just don't understand how Microsoft could let the world's most active social networking site slip past their only mobile OS. I guess they are just too busy working on WP7S. :|

don't forget about the lite.facebook.com, works great in mobile browsers (any) no need to view full-on..
strange, I've never got one notification from the Facebook app in 2 years (since I had it on my Shadow too) do you have to always keep it running in order for you to get notifications??

lol, ok, I think I got it now! somehow I thought you guys were referring to notifications that would somehow pop up like a 3rd-party icon (a la Palringo notifications)

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?

I have the option "save details" ticked, but I have to type in my details everytime. Hence why I get frustrated!
Im using m.facebook.com for the time being, until HTC sort the facebook app out.

First; there are other people who also have the problem with FB not "saving" the login info.
Do a quick search and see if they've found a solution.
Second; http://touch.facebook.com might be more to your liking..
m.facebook.com is fine for Nokias, but the touch.facebook.com page is made for "iPhone-like" devices like our HD2.

That's why...it works only if you do it before installing too many other apps....so if u ever reflash a ROM, make sure logging into facebook and saving details is one of the first things u do.

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.

Of course it will. Your data connection will be more active.

Go offline
i found out that when on the chat screen you can hit menu, then "go offline"

Haha they sacrificed friend requests in lieu of the chat. I might go back, unless someone knows how to view friend requests

If I go into Manage Applications I have two facebook apps listed, Facebook version 1.3.2 and Facebook for HTC Sence version 1. Neither will allow me to uninstall?

It's a bug?
In fc chat, if we select go offline, my friends in their fc PC, see me like being online, it's annoying because some times I want not being seeing online.
I think is a bug app.
Can someone confirm this.

Hmm, that is interesting. I am guessing it is the rom you have since I am using Hyperdroid and am able to uninstall the old one to put the new one.

Well Mine Arrived Today

Syncing contacts was a bit of a pain but it's done now .
Right guys what else should i be doing , what tips do i need from you ?
Awesome machine by the way

My tip is remember to link not just your Facebook account to your Windows Live ID. There are a whole host of different services that tie in.
That's one thing most people seem to forget.

On your Windows Live you can link facebook to hotmail to get facebook feed and contacts. But when you get them together and then add facebook on your phone again it can get messy
Its usually not a problem. If you go into setting and swipe to applications and choose people. You can set facebook information only to add to existing contacts rather than having all of them in your phone book.
Best tip touch and hold and find the extra things you could do
Best way to find out more is to go on youtube and see demos and previews by microsoft

I'll do that mate , thanks for your advice

Only thing you need to know for smartphones these days is swipe up and down, left and right, press and press and hold.
Dont be affraid to press every single function and explore it.
Since my first phone ive yet only found one i couldnt use That was a cheap 70 quid Samsung phone from my friend damn things was horrible.
But smartphones are so easy to use these days its nothing hard.
If you want to post your facebook status from people hub click on your picture in the pic hub, that will bring you to your fb wall. Then click again on your status or pic to post your status in Facebook or in Windows Live

Same here. But nothing major. I badly need tethering though

Windows Phone 8 IE Browser

Hello guys, yester i´ve got my Lumia 920, i feel in love so far.
The battery ist not so god like i was hoping but okay.
But i dont really like the IE Browser. Am i able to change the "view" of Facebook or Google ? I´ve been a Android User for years and i had on my S2 a better Facebook Mobile site as on the Lumia 920. And the Facebook Apps in Microsoft´s store sucks. Any suggestion to change this ?
I miss the Facebook design from my Android on my WP8.
Thanks for your help.

Do u know how i can stop the download of Facebook pictures to my device ?! Its so annoying.... i dont want them on my device...

That happens automatically when you put a facebook account on to your device. No way to stop it other than removing your Facebook account.

On WP7, the pictures do not download. You only see thumbnail previews. If you try to access them without internet they won't show up.
