Hi
When I used the twitter application and ask it to "update now" from the menu the phone crashed and went back to the "loading htc sense" message that comes on when you turn on the phone.
it's has now changed and is now displaying "Download Error" "you have reached Twitter access limits for the moment" and no longer does the crashing thing as above.
Any ideas of how to sort this, I've had the battery in and out and turned the thing on and off a few times, with no success.
I didn't try out Twitter.
But from my experience, i found that some of the homescreen tabs are buggy or bloated. So i'm minimizing it to the bare basics. I removed twitter, footprints, weather (resource hog), calendar (crippled, super slow, and useless), people (slow, redundant to the call function), mail, stocks.
Generally, avoid homescreen tabs that needs constant updates.
These tabs seems to be programmed for eye-candy anyway, rather than real productivity.

Another lackluster Windows Mobile solution: Fring, the IM and Internet call app, has a new, free Facebook add-on that seems to have most Facebook functionality, including viewing friends, their photos, their statuses, pokes, adding friends, sending messages, etc. I don't know if chat is enabled, but everything else works OK. But.....
1) it is SLOW AS HELL AND CLUNKY. i don't think it caches anything and with the ever-present spinning hourglass appears to request everything over and over. don't know if i need to enable a setting for caching or not.
2) the interface, while somewhat finger-friendly, needs A LOT of work on the eye-candy front.....but I guess there's only so much you can expect from an add-on.
3) it scrolls right-left to display long statuses or answers on the information pages. I guess that saves space, but it's annoying.
4) it took forever to start up. It would crash when run initially and took several tries to load up my Facebook info.
despite my complaints, it does get the job done and probably has what most people need. if it was faster it wouldn't be that bad.
EDIT: fwiw, just read that AT&T has been having data problems lately, so the slowness of the app might be related to that.
Every time I update Facebook in Updates and Events it restarts TouchFlo. I've run into this problem before... After a hardware restart it fixed it but i'm sure there has to be a way to fix this. I have tried undoing anything I've done before this problem occured... But I've changed nor done anything... It just happen, any help will appreciated.

WE could really use some more info. Rom, OS version, Things of this type will most likely get you some answers
ROM version: 1.19.661.3 "Stock ROM"
Windows Mobile 6.1
Carrier: Telus "CDMA"
It seems i've fixed the problem, well more like it fixed it self, I took one of my contacts off the facebook link and it seems the crashing has stoped. It just seems weird to me that it would do that, would like to know the real reason behind this. Maybe there's a limit of contacts you can have linked to Facebook
Now that we're speaking of facebook on the TP2, does anyone know how to chat on facebook similar to the iphone app?
Ok, my reply is two fold....
@TeamSir
I ran into the same problem. I took a bit of a different route, though... It only seemed to crash on me when I updated from within the address book editing screen (not always, but often). On the Status Tab (Third or forth tab when in Address book, or viewing a contact), when I've updated from there, I haven't had any problems. Weird, but who knows.... Also noticed that if they Contact in the address book is exactly like it is on facebook, it automatically (after confirmation) sets everything up for you.
@Cacaman123 There isn't a way to "chat" through this integrated facebook feature. There are, however two options for you to look into.
Option #1
There is a Facebook App on the Microsoft website. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile. If you haven't already, sign up for an account (it's worth it, trust me... free apps and games, some of them pretty good too, some are demos, too). Once in there, arrow over "Free Extras" then click on "Games, Software, and More." From there, under the "Software and Services" side of the list, click "See all >" and on the next page there should be a facebook app. This app allows you to check friends status', update your own, check your messages, reply, and, as an added bonus, if any of your friends have their Phone number on FB, you can access it through the tab and call them directly from the app, through your phone.
Downfall: No Chat app. You are not allowed to do direct Facebook Chatting, you can send and receive messages, but no chatting.
Option #2
Palringo - Here is an app that I've been using for a long time. Bottom line, it's a multi service chatting program. You do have to sign up for an account (completely free), but after that, you can access any account of yours on the following networks:
* Windows Live Messenger ® (MSN)
* AOL ® Instant Messenger (AIM)
* Yahoo! ® Messenger
* Google Talk ™
* ICQ ®
* Jabber ®
* iChat® / MobileMe ®
* Gadu-Gadu ®
* Facebook Chat (Alpha)
With this program, you can chat directly with your friends on facebook.
Downfall: Chatting is the only thing you can do with facebook and this app.
I do hope this helps...

My problem was the same, I was using the intergraded Facebook, crashed everytime I update in the address book editing screen. As soon as I took one of my contacts off of the link with facebook it started to work... But then everytime I open up File Explorer it would hang on loading "The last folder I tried to view was My Device\Windows". Couldn't even change which folder I was viewing, so with much frustration I turned to Hardware reset.
I deleted the "FacebookInfo" file in My Device folder, and it started working again.
I am finding my TP2 is either very slow, or locks up. No particular ap, although I am in eMail (about 4 accounts), phone and calender a lot.
I did have a crash, if that's the correct term shortly after setting it up and found my eMail accounts had to be reloaded. However, the old accounts still appear on the quick launch, but are not accessible and are not in the eMail settings. they do not sync and still show the old emails downloaded. Naturally, I would like to remove them, but also wondered if, in some way they were the cause.
Also noticed nothing appears in my Task Manager....
Doesn't sound good when written down, does it? Any help with this?
First of all, this isn't a major issue, or may be due to T-Mobile or something, but my phone is 1+ minutes behind everywhere else, like train/bus times, TV, computers, etc..
It also means when I get a text message, then reply within a minute, it puts my reply before the text message...
Also, how the f**k do I stop Facebook syncing?
I have both Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense under "Accounts & Sync" and Facebook is fine, it just syncs contacts and works
Facebook for HTC Sense however, syncs both contacts and live feed. They DON'T sync at all, no matter how long you leave them, it just shows the syncing icon. I disabled them both, but when I restart my phone they're back again
Another issue is that sometimes the internet just won't load any pages sometimes. The bar just loads like 90% then stops and won't load anything until I restart my phone (again, this could be T-Mobile)
Any suggestions? I'm using the stock ROM (before OTA) with S-OFF
What the heck? I probably won't provide any useful information, but perhaps your settings aren't set to automatically detect the time?
I don't have any real solution for you but if you have s/off and you like sense why don't you try flashing virtouos rom or do a wipe and factory reset.

Thanks for the replies
It's definitely set up to use the network time. Not sure why it sets the time of my messages to 1 minute behind, but the texts I receive have the proper time (1 minute in front of my phone time)
bahmanxda, I don't really bother with custom ROMs. I've tried a few but don't see the point in them (I use the stock ROM but removed all the bloat and other rubbish from them, plus I don't want to overclock my CPU yet)
Maybe you could remove the "Facebook for HTC Sense" account altogether from "Accounts & Sync?"
I use the Facebook app though, and I also use the Facebook contacts sync, will removing it affect either of those?
I have the AT&T version of the S7 Edge. I am on the newest firmware release with all my applications updated.
I have not been able to get Facebook Messenger to completely set up. Everytime I go through the process it sticks at the welcome screen after I have selected all the options I want. I have downloaded several previous versions from APK mirror and tried installing them individually or running an update.
Each new attempt freezes on the screen stating "You're on Messenger!" I can close out the app and still receive notifications but if I open the app back up I have to select my contact synchronization setting and my SMS setting again, and then it freezes at the welcome screen. I have only been able to get Messenger Lite to work normally.
I have gone as far as factory resetting the device with no luck. Other than this app the performance has been great and my battery life has been great. Facebook Messenger is the only application giving me a problem.
I had a random thought, and ended up fixing the issue. I go into developer mode and disable all the animations when I set up my phones. Apparently Facebook Messenger relies on an animation to transition from the final setup option to the "Continue" button that takes you out of that final screen.
I went back and enabled my animations at .5x speed, ran the setup, and everything completed. Go figure.
