Facebook Chat

I find it frustrating that the facebook panel doesn't provide chat, opera doesn't support facebook chat via the website. I'm just curious to know what facebook chat programs you guys are using.

Palringo has support for Facebook chat.

Facebook doesn't provide a public API for Facebook chat quite yet. What people have done is reverse engineer something and are using it to enable Facebook chat functionality. I'm sure Sony Ericsson wasn't interested in all that work.

there is an app here to do so: FacebookIM

Thanks guys

I looked into it initially I didn't want to instal NET CF 3.5 but i went ahead and made the jump.

Facebook Chat for Xperia X1
i know this one is old, but just to keep it updated for searching users..
the software is now called FIM (Facebook Instant Messenger) and no longer requires updates to the .net framework that comes with the xperia (2.0)
free download of fim available at http://www.mosko.mobi

Palringo with Facebook support really is the best to me because you don't have to rely on a single app just for FB chat - it's built into a multi-protocol IM client which you would have a good reason to already have running in the background. Why run another program?

BackFlip is not Yahoo!

As some of you know I recently took mossefist's (bigups to him) Motorola BackFlip dump and posted it. Well, after downloading it and Searching it, I realized that it uses Google Search. But wait, it's suppossed to be Yahoo! isn't it? Her is my guess;
IT'S BEEN THEMED!
The Google Search bars have been themed to look like Yahoo!'s and probably lead to www.yahoo.com/[WHATEVER/YOU/SEARCHED], but it's still Google. Can anyone confirm if this is possible or am I just stupid?
Here's the message to Yahoo;
MAKE YOUR OWN OS! You have I think Yahoo! your own Calander Application, Contacts Application, and Yahoo! Mail for users. You have Yahoo! Messanger and everything else. All you need is Yahoo! Maps and that should be easy for you to make. I'm not saying you'll make a lot of money, but for the few people who choose Yahoo! over Google will probably buy your phone. You have Flickr, you have a fe good sources for the OS. You can add an Application Store and put it on the phone. Just try, it won't hurt!

Facebook Account issue's

Hi,
Upgraded to the new version of Froyo 'Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6) ' and when I go to add account, I choose Facebook, and after a slight pause, returns to the General synch settings page, but no Facebook.
Worked fine on previous release of 2.1.
I downloaded Facebook from Market.
Any advice would be appreciated, possibly I have the wrong version for the phone??

Same here,
Could this be because of a 'non-existing' link between the sync settings and the facebook app?
(Maybe because of some recent facebook app update?)
The facebook app itself works by the way, (notifications, widget, app etc) But it would be nice to sync contacts etc as well (A)

It doesn't work in mine either. (UK O2 Streak with official 2.1 update.)
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon as I liked how it automatically downloaded a profile picture for every contact in my phone.

A little reading may have a clue...
Althought I cannot confirm, it appears there's 2 versions fo facebook available for us.
Facebook for Android or HTC Facebook for Sense. I recon I must have had HTC Facebook before which does synch the contacts..
Anyone confirm this??? Anywhere to download and test HTC Facebook for Sense??

Facebook Contact Sync
Hi Guys,
I'm now in XDANDROID FRX04 with the latest facebook from the market and have the same problem, facebook does not sync the contacts.
Does someone make it work?
Does someone have a working apk of HTCFacebook?

Does not work for me either with XDAndroid FRX04 or Froyo X Red.
Right now i am using: SyncMyPix to sync Facebook contacts on my phone until this problem is resolved.

If the problem is between facebook app and phone contacts, perhaps it's because google blocked that feature. If it's between the app and facebook, no idea, it works for me.
Edit: NVM, I see what's the problem and dunno why

Keep it in the related thread
Excess threads muck up the forum.

Facebook Location Service

As in the iphone facebook they have LOCATION SERVICE. Android doesn't have it. Does any one know about the development or the availability of a good software for it?
Thanks
