Facebook

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)

why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.

Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.

Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?

I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.

I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.

fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld

Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...

Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.

FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.

I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...

I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.

Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....

I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Should be 2.1.1

Why was it pulled?

App pack now available

click this link from your droid handsets
http://bit.ly/3R2WfX
Visual voicemail is in the app pack

Can anyone pull this out for us who dont have decent market access.

What's wrong with your market access? Should be the same for all Rogers Magic, I have no problems accessing the market.

Oh clinton you got it downloaded successfully?

Yep worked fine for me. Click the link up comes
Official T-Mobile Android Applications, lists AppPack, My Account, HotSpot Connect, Mobile Backup. I thought i'd try and install, works fine installed sherpa and mobile backup just to check em out.

Most does not work proper because it's linked to T-Mobile accounts, but Sherpa seems pretty cool.

[APP] Copy Apps to you VS GTAB with "Bluetooth File Transfer"

I just wanted to put this out there for anyone having trouble finding apps on the Market with their VS GTAB.
I found Bluetooth File Transfer by "Medevial Software" that allowed me to transfer most of the apps that I have on my Nexus One over to my GTAB.
The app has a nifty little function called "Send Applications" on the menu under the "more" tab.
Both devices have to have bluetooth on for this function to activate.
This app helped me to get apps over to my GTAB when I couldn't get to them from the Market (on the GTAB).
Some Apps on my N1 were locked so I could'nt move those but for the most part I was able to get a lot of apps on my GTAB that I was not able to get via normal channels.

You can also use the free version of dropbox and get apps from all your PC/phone/Gtab.
It's a cool little app/program. and you can share folders as well. But it is only via wifi, which is fine as my phone is rooted so I always have wifi.

I used Dropbox all the time it's pretty cool but I tried to see if I could get my apps from my N1 over to my GTAB with Dropbox but it didn't give me the option to send APKs like BTFT does.
BTFT will package the selected apps into individual APKs so you can install them easily after they are transfered to your device. Which is a big help because before I found BTFT I was moving apps over using Titanium Backup which had many steps to get the apps over and installed successfully. With BTFT those steps are greatly reduced.
Try it out.

Nice find, thank you sir.

I used BT File Transfer on my Droid and it said successfully transferred, but where does it transfer the app to on the tablet?

I believe the default location for transfered apps is the main directory of the internal sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard
Just scroll to the bottom if you are using a file explorer like estrongs.

BTFS worked great for me! send a few apps to my boss' droid2!

Here is an easy way to transfer and sideload. Using a WiFi connection.
Download apk's to your pc, use ES File explorer to browse for apk on PC (Lan), copy to your "downloads" folder on sd (Local). Browse w/ ES File explorer to downloads , choose apk and install.
Been working like a charm for me
Edit; Sorry to post this here, since this thread relates to "BFT", meant to post on previous thread.

Can you confirm that you are using Vegan, because I do and it say my FTP OBEX service is not installed, did you flash another kernel ?
It does work from Vegan to Nexus but not from nexus to vegan...

Using VEGAn 5.1 Beta with Pershoots Latest 2.6.32.29
It does work Nexus to VEGA, I just tried it out again using CM7 RC1 on my
Nexus w/Wildmonks 2.6.35.10. Transferred nine test apk's over just now as I typed this thread reply.
I'm not using the 5.1.1 supplement.

I was using stock kernel (I guess) from vegan, updating now to see how it goes...
NO GO! updated to latest pershoot
Weird, anyhow, no biggy since I have plenty of other way to transfer my apk, just very strange!

Hmmm? Don't have an answer for you. I remember having that same issue but all I did was make sure both devices were discoverable and making sure the ftp share service and opp receiving service were both enabled in settings for both devices. I don't know for sure that would be your fix though..

BTF
I had the problem before of getting an error message, but I installed Blue Tooth File Transfer on both devices and now it works fine. I have it on my Gtab, EPIC, Moment, and EVO and all works fine.

Wow, very cool. Thanks, worked great from N1.

What keeps USAA Mobile from loading?

The Market app is happy to download the USAA app and attempt to load it, but it's always unsuccessful.
Any ideas why and whether something can be done about this? I'd really love to use this application.

As a 30+ year member, I wanted it too and got it to work once when I first loaded it, then no joy. Cleared data and uninstalled.
I just use Dolphin HD to go to the actual site. Works fine and goes to USAA Mobile without issue.

I was having the exact same trouble with the USAA app when my tablet arrived in the mail. I have found that the fix described in the following link will get it working for Vegan Tab 5.1 (and I would assume for any other ROM where the app is displayed but it will not install):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Please post back on here if you have any luck!

Works for me
The app works fine on mine, running VEGAn-Tab 5.1.1 and Clymsen's Kernel ver. 9.

"Working" in the sense that it will install and run for you? The market fix just changes the search results, so I can't see how that would help with installation. I have no difficulty locating the app, nor in downloading it. The problem seems to be entirely on my tablet when installation is attempted.

Would you be willing to post a copy of the .apk you're using? One can easily be created using appack.

Pulled from my Titanium Backup
Here is the .apk, though in fairness it does not work on my wife's Nextbook2 tablet. It would be nice if CWM was loadable on it, it is a decent piece of hardware, even better with a decent rom.

Thanks for posting that. Unfortunately, I can't get it to sideload.

I haven't tried to load the market on mine so I can't install the app on the Tablet. My cell phone seems to use the google mapping GPS function with the USAA mobile app. Could that be whats causing the refusal to install? I know I had to enable it to get the app to install .

That would have been my guess, but michaeljwestii has it running on his g-Tablet.
I did try using location spoofing apps and tried installing it with the CyanogenMod 7 ROM that has functioning location service over WiFi. In neither case would it even install.

mine doesnt install either

I cannot get the app to display in market on my gtablet (running CM7 nightly or stable) and I cannot get android market from the web to push it my gtablet either. So I had my son install the app (version 3.3) on his epic and i side loaded it. Run just fine for me. What kind of error is everybody getting when they try to side load the app?

The standard, un-helpful "Application not installed" notification in Package Installer.

Maybe a kernel issue. It installed from the Market just fine on 4349 (1.2 kernel). When I downgraded back to 3588, it again wouldn't install.

Works on my tab...running Vegan Ginger.
3.3 version of the USAA app.

I have had that error in a couple of situations which I think does not sound they apply to your case but here were my solutions. One was To go into ROM Manager and have it fix file permissions, reboot, then try to reinstall the app. The other one was when I already had an older app installed and tried to install a newer app. I used Titanium Backup to force uninstall the older app and then exit Titanium Backup and install the newer app. For some odd reason the older app did not show up in market.

I had the USAA app installed at one point. I was able to use FakeGPS app (from android market) to manually set my location, but that was only required for the mobile check deposit function (which worked!). All other functions were working without that.
I'm now having trouble finding the USAA app on the google market, on either my Viewsonic Gtablets (one Brilliant Corners 1.2.1, other is TNT lite, 4.4). I lost the app when reformatting my tablet. I did the market fix, although not clearly different markets (is there a way to tell?). Anyone else able to find the app? Guess I'll try to sideload from the link above.

Market "fix" for my SGT Wifi version

i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi version and I tried doing a search for Yahoo Messenger in the Market but it doesn't give any result, says that 'no application found'.
but on my mini pro, Yahoo messenger shows up so i end up downloading it in my mini pro and transfer it via BT on my SGT.
any idea why it's not showing in SGT's Market? is there a way for me to be able to fix it?

I'm running Overcome 1.4.2 with Globe as my carrier and it shows up fine in the Market. Didn't see it on stock though.

i've heard of Overcome but i'm not sure if i can use that on my SGT since mine is the Wifi version.

here's what's going on with the Market that I have on my SGT Wifi version.
At first i thought that Yahoo Messenger is the only app that I can't find but unfortunately, I can't locate GO Launcher as well. It shows the Go Launcher themes but not the app itself.
So I'm assuming that there might also be other known apps that might not show. Is there a way to fix or patch the Market so that it would show the apps?

i've tried MarketEnabler, MoreLocale2 but it's a no go .. i've seen someone post a copy of Market here. if i overwrite the existing Market app, won't that cause a problem or will that fix the problem?
anyone?

found a temporary solution .. i've installed Amazon's AppStore, AppBrain and Applanet.
Appbrain relies on Market so that's really a no-go. Applanet works since it shows the files that I need, like, Yahoo Messenger for instance. It even shows the plug-in.
