What have your experiences been using facebook on the diamond/Opera9? For me (on a T Mobile connection) it kind of works but kind of doesnt.
It renders the pages fine, but I find I have to log in multiple times and I cannot accept friend requests or view larger pictures from thumbnails.
Theres no excuse in the world as to why Facebook should work better with an iPhone. Especially considering how Facebook was one of the pre installed favourites on the stock Diamond ROM.
iPhones use iphone.facebook.com which is like a compromise between m.facebook.com (the really cut down mobile version) and the full site.
But yes, I would like the normal facebook page to work properly.

What have your experiences with facebook on Opera been like?
bump bump bump
well after a soft reset i have an issue when i log into facebook using my orange (HSDPA) connection, it loads it all wrong in a very very basic form bit like mobile version, but if i go to facebook via wi-fi it loads fine, AND also then loads fine via HSDPA until i do a soft reset again... i was assuming this was an issue with my Orange provider TBH which seems to be fixed after i load the full page once via wi-fi....

well it works 100% perfect once i have loaded it once via WiFi, however if i dont do that and load via hsdpa first time after SR the format of the page is all messed up and makes it almost impossible to navigate the page, but it does display full pictures even in that messed up mode yes.
You can just use the iphone version...
It works just fine if you rotate the screen

Ok so I guess I didn't test it enough
Anyway, it is a shame that all major websites seem to have their iphone version but couldn't care less about the rest of us.
Would it be so hard to have "advanced mobile" versions that everyone could use?

This is what I dont understand - as the Diamond as a higher quality, higher resolution screen to the iphone. Its as if no one makes an effort with windows mobile anymore, yet will go out of their way to accomodate the iphone
I have a Diamond on T-Mobile Uk and mine loads facebook just fine using Opera! not sure why you're having issues.

Try and go into a picture and view it full screen. Do you get a clear full screen picture?
Also try and send messages via facebook or make/respond to friend requests. Does this work?
I am aware Opera renders the page perfectly, but Facebook doesnt seem to function well at all.

A push button on Opera works great
The new Opera 9.7 works great for facebook. Forgetting having an "app" for it why not just get the real thing ;-)
I agree. . the website is much better. I really hate the facebook app.
Facebook IM Program

and the official facebook windows mobile ap
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=489379&highlight=facebook
I dont even bother with checking via opera I just use these
I have to agree, the app doesnt allow one to view a lot of things and you cant make changes easily either. It does suck, always use opera. The app probably burns more battery and memory too...
yes the facebook application is really crap. It would give you notifications about comments but then won't allow you to read them! The only good thing about it is the phone book and the ability to tag photos. I don't think you can do this with the mobile version of facebook.
Although I must say that I cannot use my normal Opera browser for mobile facebook (m.facebook.com), when i type in text boxes or whatever, the text appears in one of those symbol fonts but when i submit it, appears in english. So I have to use Beta version of Opera where the scroll zoom thing doesn't work. Weird....
the app is crap you shouldnt have to refresh all the time and when you do it takes for Fing ever
if the mobile page loads up quick why cant it pull info from there it astounds me
plus you can use iris brower and go to the iphone page plenty of better options
I've used both the iPhone and WM FB app and both have issues. You have to constantly refresh even with the iPhone version as well. They're identical for all intents and purposes but really...just use the website.
I gave up on the facebook app a while back. I'm happy with using the Iris web browser.
i dont think its that bad. its great for quick stuff though you keep having to hit the refresh softkey. the only thing i think its missing from the iphone version is chat which someone else on here wrote a program called facebook im that will do that for you. its not going to compare to a full website though.
why isnt there a myspace app for windows mobile??
Iris Browser
I like the Iris Browser as well.

u can use the phonebook from the m.facebook.com in opera mobile
and i think possibly on iphone.facebook.com from opera mini
There's no comparison: the iPhone Facebook app kicks the face off Microsoft's pathetic effort. I'm so disappointed that Facebook options are so limited. I do not think the full Facebook is as convenient as an App, having used the Facebook app for iPhone for a long time: perhaps you have to have used it to fully appreciate how much more convenient a well-built app is to using a mobile browser.
it sucks [email protected]

I think that the best way to use facebook is that you should register on this web then use it with IPhone It is great
Use http://touch.facebook.com it's much better for the HTC

I just installed Opera Mobile 9.7 beta. When I start Opera, it brings a small white square on square then it freezes. I need to take out battery to reboot my phone.
I have uninstalled and installed again two time, but same result. Any idea what can I do ? I googled around, didn't find any solution, in fact not many people had same problem.
Any way to debug, what's happening in my phone. Other s/w runs fine without any problem.
Use a different version.
Try install it online, i.e., connect to the innternet first before install it & the first time launch it.
I had the same issue. I just had to use Opera 9.5
I guess, I will just wait for next beta ore release.
You need to install openGL drivers in order for it to work. Here is the link.
Thanks. That un-froze opera and is running now. Thanks

I like Iris because of the status bar. It tells, when host is resolved, request is sent, received reply etc ... You know what's wrong. I use Wifi alot (I do not have unlimited data plan) and have to switch between proxy wifi and non-proxy wifi. Other browser do not give any indication.
I like opera-mini for speed.
I do not use skyfire as I am not able to make it work on work n/w via proxy.
Haven't tried UCweb.

Try Iris also. It's free.
tried everything in this thread (used v3 of OpenGL), but nothing works. I'm still getting freezes when I start Opera Mobile 9.7. The first time I start after switching my phone (HTC TD) on it works fine. If I then close it down and then restart later on, it freezes. Soft Resest... and it works again...
any ideas?
I've downloaded Twidroid - haven't tried Peep yet though (!)
What do people recommend...?
Twidroid is for me, without a dubt, better then Peep. More functions and better layout. Having some problems with the notifications and once in a while I have to try twice for it to show a profil page. No deal breaker though
I think The best apps are twidroid , peep and twitterride .
I am not able to post pictures taken with twidroid.. I use add, take photo, then I take photo, done, and it gives me "image can not be decoded"..
Anyone else with this problem?

I also got the same problem and it almost make me go back to my iPhone.
I´m using that function all the time. It works if you select a picture allready taken.
Peep works but it compress the picture so much that it look like crap. And yes I have changed the quality to the best.
Since my Hero runs smooth as butter (thanks to MoDaCo Custom ROM 2.2) I've started using Peep again, which now supports posting in landscape and displays clients the tweets were sent from (which I think is new in this version of ROM). Before that I switched do Twidroid, but never got to like it...
Is it possible to tweak the quality/size of the pictures posted with PEEP?
More than choosing "high quality" in settings.
I think I'd be quite happy with Peep, if it was possible to choose to follow a user using it? But I can't see that option available, unless anyone can help?
Thanks,
James

When you click on someone's profile picture, you get the option to follow/unfollow. Or use the official Twitter text commands - http://help.twitter.com/forums/59008/entries/14020
Has anyone had any success using the Tweeps Around layer in the Layar AR application to find the location of their own tweets?
I've used HTC Peep and Twidroid to post tweets with my GPS location, and then tried to find them on the Tweeps Around layer and though I can see loads of other peoples', my own do not appear....

Cheers,
It was actually that I couldn't find how to "find" someone, if I wanted to follow them. I've found it now though - you use the hard search key to do a search
Shows the title graphic, but not the login or option selections. Pretty much just a blank screen. Anyone have any tricks? I'd rather not use Opera or Dolphin just for one site.
Looks like it's flash based so you would have better luck with a 1.5 hero rom.
Why would a mobile web page be flash based? You couldn't view it on the majority of platforms...lame.
I have no idea why it's not working but that's NOT flash based.
Try the main page instead of the mobile site (source of my confusion). They used java on the mobile site, it could have something to do with it.

I have exactly the same issue on my MT3G though at one point it worked. Much better than the regular site as it is optimized for a mobile browser.
Were you using adfree? It's the only thing I can think of...Doesn't work on OpenEclair or new CM4.2.15 either.
Wife just got a droid and it works fine. Strange that it didn't work on an Eclair ROM for me if it works on the droid...
Guess I'm the only one who cares, but FYI, if you use the Steel browser, you can set the user agent to iPhone and it will work. Set it back to Android and no go again.
any of your's HD7 unable to access touch.facebook.com
my HD7 can't access to touch.facebook.com,by the same time my motorola xt720
can access without any problem!
or is that any setting to brows this website?
My IE setting:mobile preference is set to mobile version now,when i set it to
desktop version the problem still exist...
well it loads but no content... image
OMG.....same i think all HD7 got this same issues.....
wat wrong with this,how to report this to microsoft?
very annoying since the facebook app is slow and laggy,but now touch version
also load but no contest...
Good, I'm not the only one.
I was trying to use the Places feature, but it's a no go as far as I can tell.
I totally had the same experience with touch.facebook.com. But m.facebook.com works fine. I ended up downloading the Facebook app from the Marketplace, and that works even better.
The only problem I've noticed since I got my Windows phone two weeks ago is that my Facebook account has been sending out SPAM to my friends (ie: "I got a free iPad! Click this link to learn how I did!"). This has never ever happened before.
I've also been unable to use the Facebook Places app. So I ended up buying the Check-In app from the Marketplace, which works pretty well.
my HD7 is doing the same cannot load touch.facebook.com
very annoying!!!
my HD7 doesnt load touch.facebook.com the first time, but when i refresh the page it loads like 5 seconds later and then works perfectly.
