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?

Pay apps and Custom ROM

OK, I've got my new ROM installed and I love it. I'm in the process or re-installing my apps via AppBrain, and when I come to the two that I paid for (SystemApp Remover and ROMmanager) the "Buy" button is showing up again. I read in another forum that there should be something that says purchased but all I see is Buy. Do I have to go through the official Market in order to get them back without paying?

Anyone? I tried going in through the actual Market, not AppBrain, and it is still saying I have to buy them.

Paid apps are linked through your Google account. Try opening the Market at least once (to "establish the link") before installing through AppBrain and see what happens.

Thanks for replying
I went in through the Market so see if that might work. It didn't, and charged me for the SystemApp Remover again... grrr. I think I'm more frustrated now than I was before... LOL

I figured out what I did wrong. When I installed AppBrain again, I used a different email address in the Google Checkout. I've done a Google search but can't find a way to change it. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You should be able to return the app since it was less than 24 hours since you bought it. In the AppBrain app hit Menu > Preferences > Sign out and sign back in but with the right email. I hope I'm understanding your problem correctly

I can't figure out how to sign out. I don't see that option anywhere.

OK, I understand what you are saying, but that's not the problem. I only have one AppBrain account, which I linked to the wrong email address through Google Checkout, when reinstalled it. I will try making a new AppBrain account and see if that works.

Nope, still brings up the wrong email, I guess because it is on the same phone.

[Q] Engadget / Yahoo Mail problem in CM7 final

Just flashed CM7 final without any issues.
But Yahoo Mail only loads 10 newest emails. Engadget app won't launch. Anybody had similar problems?

I concur on the Engadget app...not sure about Yahoo since I don't use it. It's a bummer, the Engadget app is one of my most used on my phone.

I don't use yahoo, but the Engadget app works fine for me... it used to show up too small but there is a fix in Spare Parts - uncheck compatibility mode. This fixed it to show up properly. Maybe try that? What error are you getting, just a FC?

I tried to disable the compatibility mode, rebooted, still Engadget came up with a white screen.

So far I like the Android mail app better than Yahoo's for Yahoo mail. It is working fine for me with CM7 release

I have the same issue with Engadget app. Blank page after uncheck compatibility mode and reboot.

Feel lucky that you can get Yahoo Mail to work at all on this device. Every time I try to set it up, it tells me that the password is incorrect, even though it isn't. I've tried this on 2.1-2.3.
Somewhat off topic, but I find it ironic that I can't sign into the XDA app and view a thread I've participated in without a FC.

While I'm not on CM7, yahoo mail will no longer download e-mails for me on my autonooted NC. Worked just after I installed it and then, no new e-mails (accoridng ot the app) since April 10. Of course, my inbox online would beg to differ.

The Engadget app just takes a real longtime to load the EULA on CM7. Leave it at the white screen for 10-30 secs, then click Accept, and then you'll be rockin'.

[Q] Star with red dot in notification bar, what app?

Hi I guys, I searched the forums and Google and didn't find anything.
On my notification bar there is occasionally a white star with a red dot. It's always some kind of spam today it was "Free College Degrees"
I deleted any of the apps I had installed in the last week (since I had noticed the star). The white star and red dot has come back.
Does anyone know of an app that does that? All the running services seem pretty legit to me. Can someone tell me how to isolate it? I would prefer not to have to reflash..
I'm running Cognition 3.04.
Thanks,
Frustrated

Have you tried dl security software to check for malware?

Hi,
I have the same problem but I think I've found the App or one App that initiates this messages.
On my Milestone I'm using APNDroid which is using Airpush Ads since the lat Update.
I used aLogCat to search for the App that starts this "Browser" with the Ads and there I noticed the entries of apndroid and airpush.
Hopefully this information is useful for you.

I installed and uninstalled the Mirin browser recently, would it have left some remnants behind?
I installed alogcat and did a filter with "Browser" which came up with maybe 10-15 entries of
Code:
V/WindowManager (2970): Dsptch > Window{48688688 com.android.vending/com.android.vending.AssetBrowserActivitypaused=false}
Can that be what you mean? I apologize, but you could provide some more detail?

if you've deleted all installed apps you could just back up important datas/pics and do a factory reset it will bring you back to like a clean new install rom clearing the remnants that's bugging you.

Got it, put the "Program Monitor" widget on a screen and opened it. Only 2 apps running: messenger and Brain Age Test 2. I guess it came in on a Brain Age Test update.
Is it odd that Brain Age didn't show up in settings --> applications --> running services?

APNdroid
In my case it's APNdroid Free that is causing the notification. When I click on the notification, the first thing I see is "APNdroid" at the top of the browser. So I tried checking the app on the Market, but developer Martin Adamek temporarily removed the app:
"Ad-supported version of APNdroid is not available at the time, as I need to reconsider to include notification ads. Based on the user feedback, I guess this was bad idea and I need to think what's next for free version."

Star in Notification Bar
Hello,
I used AirPush detector and it found the application that was causing my HTC EVO4g to get this star with the red dot in my notification bar to show up. As a matter of fact, the star was currently in my notification bar when I uninstalled the app. which was Ice Cream Sandwich wallpaper and the star immediately disappeared. Hope this helps someone...

Airpush ads are evil. I used an app called Addons Detector and it found the culprit (it was a game called Dungeon TD). I won't tolerate ads in my notification bar.

Thanks for the Airpush detector recommendation. I searched google and this thread came up. Found I had a Steve Jobs app that was sending me ads in my notification bar.

Another culprit
GO SMS Theme Pink Bubble is the one my girl was getting hers on.

Thanks! Add-ons detector worked like a charm. The Airpush detector didn't do it for me.

[Q] Google+ is in the market... but there is no download button???

I searched xda and the googleverse but can't seem to find this exact problem.
On my device, I have the new market running, and I can search, find, and pull up the Google+ app. Hooray! Except one thing: there is no option to download. The screenshots butt up to the top of the app's page, and there is no download, just screens and information...
Weird... so I tried the web-based marketplace... and it says my device is not compatible?
The nitty gritty:
Sprint Galaxy Tab
ROOTED Gingerbread, 2.3.4
And also, I am currently in Costa Rica, which I think may be the culprit (keep reading)
What I don't get is it seems that when an app is not available in your country, it should not appear in the Marketplace App on your device.
Secondly, what determines "my country"? Everything I have in that device points to Texas, everything except my current gps / internet wifi location.
What I don't understand too is why a week or two ago I downloaded it just fine (but I didnt have an invite yet so I uninstalled) and now, the download link is mysteriously gone...
SOLUTION? Yes, I simply found the latest apk and installed. What's interesting now is that in the marketplace I now have the option to open Google+, but not upgrade or uninstall...
I know I can simply keep finding and installing apk updates, but this is a pain in the butt... I want to update via the market!
So any thoughts as to why this app isn't playing nicely?!
Thanks for the input!
-Austin

So it seems as long as I restart my phone and do not apply any lcd density settings+ I can update and download google.plus no problem, but if I boot into / change the density, it dissappears... weird. If anyone else has this problem, know you know!
