Facebook Integration, what is it, and how to get it back..

Hello everybody,
Recently I went on a hunt to find the missing link in the Facebook integration of our Topaz and Touchflo. As it turns out HTC decided to not enable it in the Topaz versions.
So what is it? What does it do? Well it takes the contacts stored on your phone, and links it to the contacts in your Facebook Profile. And what it does from there is give you their profile photos for your contacts, their birthdays, events, and a link to your own Facebook profile, with icons for new messages, pokes, notifications, etc.
Heres a few screenshots.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now as far as how to get it running,
Personally I used XBMOD fix first and then used Bbonzz fix and it works. But I reccomend to try bbonzz's fix first as it should be the only one needed to make it work, otherwise I re-uploaded both here.
Credits go to XBMod for the VGA ports, and fixes (which sometimes work for us too. )
and to bbonzz who managed to get a fully working, installable fix for it.
Let us know what your experiences are, what works, and what doesn't. Enjoy!

Yup works, cheers

Tried the 2nd CAB first and seemed to work, get the tab but I'm not seeing any updates. Profile pics work ok tho, just don't get any updates.

Also got the tab. Seems like I could log in, but no updates or events. I tries to update the data, but no go. Any one else got this working?

Genius!! works a treat . We were working on this in the Apps thread in Topaz . Please orig poster post on there so its for all on that thread.

just seen one status update for one contact! wondering if only new updates appear after install? To be honest, wish I hadn't installed it.... it's a bit of fluff really! Not of any real use! Can I uninstall?
[EDIT]You can uninstall.... just use the normal method.[Edit]

Wow, I've been wanting this since I found out it didn't come with the phone.
If they enable the social features on the TP2 and not the TD2 that's odd. I gigure TD2 is the social phone and TP2 the business one.
Thanks!

THanks for this. I'm pretty impressed with it. It maybe a gimmick but i'm pretty happy with it.
It good to be able to link your facebook friends with your contacts and get the profile pictures...
Seems to get a little confused sometimes though...

Nice find

I've installed this but when I try to login it says login failed? Does the thing not automatically connect to the net? (I do have data connection turned off in comm manager maybe thats the reason)
EDIT: Ok got it working after turning on my data connections... it's found pictures for 2 or 3 of my contacts but for the rest it can't seem to download the pics... anyone else getting this?

Yes, I believe that you need the data connection on for it to work. I don't know why.
Status updates? really? it does those too? which screen? I have been using it to just link to profiles and get the photos.
Off subject, I can't wait for 6.5 on our TD2's with marketplace.
Edit:, oddly enough i do see statuses on contacts... but ONLY if i use the (insert real name here) letter scrolling on the contacts. And it seems very very buggy.
I hope that a DEV or even the release of the rhodium can fix this.

Yes, I have the same experience. Bizarre. I got updates on another page somewhere once. Buggy, but nice to extract the pictures. But I do wonder if it uses data everytime you open up All Contacts. Not so good for those with a limited data plan...

Tried both cab files but the facebook tab doesn't come up for me, any help?

I'd be interested to know if it connects everytime you access contacts too. I only have a limited data plan and only really want it to update from facebook when I'm connected to WiFi

It shouldn't do it only does that when you hit update afaik.

Okay so I got all the statuses and whatnot working on a Rhodium rom on the Raphael, but I can't get any of the pictures to link up. Anyone else have the same problem, and possibly found a fix for it?
Edit: Scratch that, spoke too soon, just took a while to link I guess, but I'm only getting it for one contact?

A specific Facebook application for Windows Mobile was launched todayish. OK, so it's not integrated to TouchFlo3D, but it is pretty good and offers a lot of functionality.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx

I'm trying out this new WM Facebook one you linked but seems to be really slow and hangs on me any idea why?? doesn't require a soft reset after install does it?

Having similar issues. I think the Facebook integration is fantastic and for the most part works pretty well...it's just that about 2/3'rds of my contacts don't have photos being imported. Wonder if there are any logs...? It seems to say "updating" for a contact and then time-out? Could be connection issues or maybe a friends photo is too large/not the correct format?

The WM Facebook app works fine for me, but then I'm not a 'friend junkie', so I only have about 20 friends. Maybe it struggles if you have hundreds of friends. Maybe it's time to cull all those friends that aren't really your friends, just people you once knew 20 years ago!

Hi!
I installed it yesterday afternoon, tried to log-in for a couple of hours but it only worked this morning. I have already chatted with a friend using whatsapp on iphone! Cgorki, thx for sharing.
I've been running and using it for almost 6 hours now with mobile internet always on and listening to music but when I go into battery usage this doesn't show up. Does this mean that it doesn't use battery or is there something else? It doesn't seem to drain a lot of battery because I still have about 85% left.
Thank you..

...well they obviously developed an app which charges your battery instead of draining it
I also have no problems communicating with iPhone users, also able to attach maps links, voice messages, pictures and videos

Uh, is this supposed to be distributed? I thought it's still a close beta.

Loving it. Thanks so much

Still random disconnects when sleeping. It only works after app and service are restarted.
Had it on the iphone, works great. I have been waiting for this for months and months now, but they still don't want to make it final. Either they are slow, it is just too hard to work with without the push thingy á la iphone.

well if you develop for android, you develop for more than only one device like for iphone, thats why it takes longer... btw. I can not confirm disconnects while phone is in sleep mode...
Update was released today, you can update the app via the built-in updater

Yes I noticed the update. I am using wifi only for this week. From next week on, I have a new contract with mobile data. Maybe there is a problem connecting after a while of disconnecting.

That's weird, I receive messages without ever opening it first, straight after booting and completely leaving the phone alone.
Under settings it always says service has started right on the minute that I booted my phone
*edit* Sorry I think I misread you, last night it gave me the option to install the latest version, and the change log said it fixed many random crashes, so far running great. But I'm sure you've upgraded

so far i can NOT use it, says auth failed.. any tips?

if you want the auth to run, email the support (even if the app says do not!) I did that and I got my access about 2-3 days.

mailing them will do nothing, I'm pretty sure they didn't put you on any "beta list"
you get your access just by trying to contact their servers, after hours/days your phone is successfully registered, thats what me and many other users have experienced.

I must have sent 14 messages untill I got through. Dont try it more than once, keep trying every couple of hours. Or even the next day. Once you get the auth, all reinstalls will be good to go.

Has anybody read the EULA?
It's talking about a "free trial period", and then a subscription fee per year.
Is that the same with the iPhone-app?

Android L Bugs Collection

Figured it might be a good idea to start a thread about various bugs people find in Android L.
11/11 Some of the bugs ppl have mentioned in the thread:
1. Bluetooth playback stutters and is overall inconsistent. **
2. Some report calls unable to patch through.
3. The Device randomly picks an app and said app drains the battery with extreme prejudice (personally it has occurred twice for me with Gmail soaking it up once and the other was Motorola connect).
4. Battery is not being managed properly
5. Ram is also buggy?
6. Google Now launcher working Incorrectly.
7. attentive display isn't working properly in all apps.

When using the volume rocker, there will be a "none" option. That silences the phone

I would love others to confirm this. My music playback on the L soak test build is too fast. It speeds up the music just a half beat or so. Everything is just a little bit faster than it should be, and in some cases it's hard to discern. But I have tested multiple tracks and gotten others to listen and confirm too. Music playback through Play Music is not timing the songs correctly.

Nope. Google Music on my desktop and Google Music on my phone play the same song in absolute perfect sync.

I'm having a pretty major problem where apps like hangouts and gmail seemingly randomly decide to stop syncing in the background. I'll get a message, and it will either not notify me at all, or wait up to several minutes to do so, where it used to be nearly instant.

I've tried that, I've cleared data on play services and google framework, cleared data and cache in hangouts, rebooted multiple times, etc. I've done everything short of factory reset it.

Yeah, my method for updating since I was rooted before was the toolbox system.img, then supersu into safe mode, then at&t modem, then update. I factory reset first thing after applying the update, but that doesn't seem to have fixed it. What's weird is that I'm having very similar issues on my nexus 7, which is running the 5.0 developer preview.
Edit- I factory reset it again. Lets see what happens.

Don't know if its Google Wallet or Lollipop but overnight my battery went from 90% to 15% with the screen off the entire time. And Google wallet was responsible for 41% of the usage.

Bluetooth seems unstable on my Honda Civic. Music was kind of skipping / jumping but the second time it was OK. Also, connection time seems to take much longer than it did on kk.

Sorry, should have clarified that my music speed issue is happening when I'm playing through my car on bluetooth. Ford Sync with MFT. Can anyone try playing through a Bluetooth device and see if playback is sped up?

Once I went into safe mode tried encryption and the phone rebooted, encrypted then rebooted again and I was good to go. Please note you must have a fully charged battery and it plugged in for it to encrypt.
Hope this helps and good luck

[APP][ROOT] Scheduler for Whatsapp v2.1

ROOT PERMISSION NEEDED, 4.1 or above
Hello everyone, some days back I was searching an app to program some whatsapp messages, and I found 1 or 2 apps, but are so hard to use and takes so much time so, I made this app thinking that to create a new messages not takes a lot of time.
The app is very easy to use, you only need to pick your contact, write the message and select when you want to send the message. Take care, because the app is a BETA version for now, but I need some feedback on other phones, obviusly, you need ROOT PERMISSIONS.

As I say before it's a BETA version, so, if you have any problem, or you have an idea of how to improve the app, layout, features leave me a comment
P.D: Only works 100% for now on 5.0 and above, in the future I will add full compatibility with previous versions, sorry.

I need some feedback mates
Thanks!

Yes mate, for now is only compatible from 5.0 and above, but when it works okey in 5.0 I will make it compatible with below versions, anyway thanks for try the app
Edit: The app works okey from 4.0 and above I think, but not works always. The problem is that this app needs to reconect from internet to force whatsapp to update the messages and I can only do that from 5.0 (using internet data, not wifi).

Version 1.21, compatibility from Jelly Bean
In this new version must work from android 4.1, but take care, if at the moment to send the message you are not connected to wifi, the message will be delayed. I will fix this problem as soon as possible.
Regards!

and, please make this facility available for sending msgs to groups also. thank you.

Thanks for this questions are very interesting.
I gonna explain the conditions, are very easy:
If you are connected to WIFI, the app turn off the wifi and reconect again in 5 seconds.
If the WIFI is off then turn off data and reconect in 5 seconds.
I think with this two conditions I maneged the comun scenarios.
I will work to add group messages.
You have any other idea to add to app?
Thanks!

Version 2.0
Hi, I'm here again, I uploaded a new version to google play solving the most popular error.
- Now if you have not the sqlite3 file, the app will automatically add it to your xbin folder.
- New design.
- Solved problem with some country phone number.
- Now you can modify manually the phone number.
If you see any error contact with me please.
Thanks!

I need some testers, some people is reporting that not works :S, but I don't know why...

New version
I found the main error with the sqlite3 file, so now must be working on all rooted phones, I hope.
Is very important to download the new version if before was not working.
Thanks.

I am having a problem getting my OP5 to work

IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you
I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

Are you in the US ?if so which network ATT or T Mobile ? have you installed the OS update that they pushed out today ? oh and the best way to contact OP support is via the CHAT app. you shouldn't have to monkey w/ the VPN settings. UPDATE: they are about to push out a 4.5.3 hotfix update.

I'm on T Mobile and have never had a problem w/ T Mobile and OnePlus (and I've owned EVERY model they have put out). You should not have to touch your APN settings at all. Currently your OP5 should be on Oxygen OS 4.5.2 and they are pushing out an update tomorrow (4.5.3) but I don't think either update has anything to do with your issues. I assume you have your T-mobile Sim card in slot #1 correct ... it will tell you that information under settings> SIM & NETWORK SETTINGS. Below is a screen shot from my OP3T, but the OP5 looks the same. Make sure the Mobile Data is turned on as shown. When all else fails....just do a factory reset and start over. Make sure you are somewhere that has WIFI if you have to do so, makes set up much easier. And again, I only ever have to go to this settings when setting up a new phone if I want to turn on VoLTE, all the other settings are factory set.

IF someone could take time out of your busy schedules I would be most grateful and could make it up to you
I got the OP5. I used it one day, yesterday. Today I am sporadically able to get on the internet, most of the times not. I started getting a KEY icon in the status bar
I googled and searched to see it has something to do with an APN or VPN I don't know what they are, I am sorry
I tried to read how to do it but got intimidated on different ways, one manual one another way, on each site. Many ways
I tried to work it out with OnePlus Service. Their service has a lot to be deserved. The first guy didn't know what it was. The second was, I sent a screen shot, he said he'd talk to level 2 and call back
45 minutes later, I got an email saying "Thanks your issue has been solved" I tried to call back, to no avail. Closed
If anyone could walk me thru it, here, private messages, email I would be most grateful. I have lets say a few health issues and parents I need to reach, and have no land line
I don't want to return the phone.
Thank You
Eric

most probably a wrong vpn setting. Try gong to settings>more>vpn and delete any vpn listing if there are any

Jerry, Alan.....thank you. Jerry my settings are exactly as they are in your pic. I found that Lookout has web browser protection on and when I take it off, it works...sort of. I have used Lookout on many phones and this wasn't an issue. Many say Lookout and similar is not needed?
Well when I went to the VPN setting, a Lookout icon was there, I deleted it.
But my email is not working and I'm not sure how related. TypeApp I cannot set up my account and log in. I was able to log into K9 which I don't prefer, but regardless, I am not getting notifications.
Thanks a lot for your help. As I believe I stated in my post, I am well aware that when people volunteer to help they are taking from their personal time.

Lookout ? I haven't heard of that "lost my phone" app I'm YEARS, haha. Didn't know they were still around. Android has "lost my phone" built in now. Ya don't even have to turn it on now. As for "email" apps...I have always just used GMAIL app. Sounds like you are just having various app setting problems. If you mean actually HEARING notifications ... Make sure your notifications slider is not turned to the middle "do not disturb" setting. The slider of course is on the left side of the phone. It has 3 different positions.

If does look like app incompatibilities. I am able to get online uninstalled Lookout antivirus. I don't need one? T-Mobile has given us Pro for years
