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?
Some time ago i found a downloading app on the Android Market, i think it was a P2P(peer to peer) software.. I cant seem to find it now though.. Is it removed? Any one know the name?
In not aware of any O2P app's but iMusic is a good app for music and is available in the market. It's like having limewire on your phone.
My E-buddy is not signing out itself anymore since I downloaded "Spare parts" and "OverclockerWidget", seems weird, I don't know this is just a coincidence or it was really because those apps. Because I didn't do anything about it.
but I'm really glad about this, since I'm always looking for new Free IM apps that not keeps signing out.
Now my Ebuddy already signed in for almost 3 hours, and it doesn't sign out even when I was texting & browsing.
does this happens to you guys?? Or just mine??

Yeah eBuddy does the same thing to me. For me I noticed eBuddy likes to sign out during and sometimes right after a phone call. Also it loves to sign out on one of my IM accounts while keeping the others logged in. Its either eBuddy or Nimbuzz. Nimbuzz has nice features such as file transfers but its rather unstable. eBuddy for now until an update for either one rolls around or something new surfaces.
Ever since I did OTA for Froyo, in my app drawer it says i have a twitter Application, but when ever i go to mange applications and try to delete it. It doesnt show up as an app. Now another thing is once in the android Market, i found twitter and it says i dont have it installed but it shows up in my App drawer. Anyone have any problems similar to this? Any fixes? Thanks for the help.
I believe Google included this app in Android 2.2 just like it includes the amazon music store. I think you have to root to completely remove it from 2.2
O i c thanks for the reply.
The f*cking MP3 store is one reason I'm seriously considering rooting my phone... I dunno why but it pisses me off that it's always running.
Is it possible to get an APK for Bing Maps to have on my Captivate? The maps look a lot better then Google from what I've seen on the Fascinate and the Focus. I'd like to have both as an option.
I downloaded it from the market so that my car dock app would work...still like google maps better though.

just download bing from the market
Verizon Only
I have AT&T and Bing isn't available through their proxy. I was hoping to not have to hack the market app to emulate Verizon but that might be what's needed.

I can post it up for you later when I get home then. Kinda dumb that AT&T won't let you access Bing. Should send a little note to MS to inform them of that.
I got it
This is odd; but searching for bing pulled nothing in the market.
Browsing forever through the top free apps had it. I went so far down that it stopped refreshing the list; but it was there and is now installed.
Thanks
