Okay so after plenty of trying to get Facebook's checkin feature working on Windows Mobile 6.5 using these methods:
Opera browser
Internet Explorer browser
Iris browser
Dorothy browser
XDAFacebook app
ZK Browser with Google Gears
what I found was... NONE OF THEM WORKED!
Finally I found that you can use Foursquare which will then update your Facebook for you:
1. Go to http://foursquare.com and sign up. On the signup page where you're asked to enter your email, etc be sure to click the Login with Facebook button
2. Once you have successfully joined, log in to Foursquare and go to Settings in the top right hand corner, scroll to the bottom and in the Linked Accounts section, tick Publish my check-ins to Facebook
3. Go here to download the WinMoSquare CAB
4. Install it on your device, ensure you have carrier data allowed, start WinMoSquare and log in to your Foursquare account
5. If you're somewhere random like your house or some other place that wouldn't be already entered into Foursquare then tap Add Venue. Otherwise just tap Check In. A list of locally-found locations comes up (the program uses your GPS to find your location). Tap a location then to actually check in, tap the name of the location again at the top
6. Now you can type in some words if you want them to appear with your Facebook update or you can leave it blank BUT for the checkin to appear on Facebook you have to tick BOTH Tell my friends and Send to Facebook
DONE, go check your Facebook updates!
Hi,
if I go to Add Venue, I got no keyboard for input.
Does it work on your phone?
Site seems broken. Login with facebook button doesnt do anything on both Chrome and Firefox....
EDIT: nevermind it is working now. Temporary error.
Seems, Mighty Lumpy .. ! '
Use MySquare instead of WinMoSquare. Mysquare is waaaaay better.

I was wondering how do you sync your contacts with facebook
just like to check their statuses on the phonebook like we used to see on 1.6
thanks a lot
Open your phone book, open a contact, press edit at the top, press the menu button (silver one at x10 bottom), select "join", select the facebook account you want to add, done!!
Some notes
1. Login and setup the facebook app, the sony phone book requires this
2. I also recommened setting up facebook on timescape
3. This last one annoyed me. On 1.6 you could add any facebook contact to any contact name on the phone, but not anymore. ex. My friends name in the phone book is "John", but his facebook profile name is "Alex". If I try to add "Alex" to "John", it won't even show up in the list of facebook profiles to choose from, I had to rename "John" in my phone book to "Alex", then I could see "Alex" in the selection list. This is really annoying as I have most of my friends set up with nicknames, but they use their real names on facebook, thus forcing me to rename a few on my phone book. Anyone have a solution for this?
thanks for that help
and it sucks i'm like you, always having diff names for ppl not fair we have to rename them
omfg it is auto naming my contacts after joining them wtf

There is show all contacts menu item.
this is really painfull. i cannot add the contact because i using nickname in phonebook. is there some application which it does?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
sweet 1.6 DD
In the top left corner of the phone book there's a filter button, click it and have it display facebook contacts as well. Then start merging contacts. If the names are off ie. alex and john, it seems to keep the name of the contact that you started with.
*Facebook app needs to be installed.
*Also as akila87 mentioned if the names are not the same there is show all contacts bar when merging them.
Edit- Actually naming appears to be completely random.... =/
I've never used PICASA before and am wanting to use it today...
so i tried it.
I went to my gallery, chose a picture...
menu
share
then chose picasa
Then it goes to this screen where it shows uploading to Picasa and wants me to put in captions and etc. then it VERY FAST goes to a screen where you know you get when your adding a google account. I asks me to make/sign in on a account.
I chose sign in and it says "this email is already associated with this phone..."
What does this mean?
Hmmm. Have you checked out picasaweb on the desktop/laptop? Maybe fiddle around and check it out (same account as your phone) and then try again. Which app? picasatool? Docspics? Well.....picasa is how I roll.... its great. Takes getting used to but its effective.
I wonder, since you added the Picasa piece after you logged on your phone if your current phone login dataset just isn't seeing the Picasa part.
Try powering off entirely. Make sure you have access to your Picasa stuff from a pc or mac or whatever (standard browser) then logout from there. Power up, go into "Accounts & Sync" in Settings , go into your login email adress and see if Picasa shows up there as a sync.option with gmail, contacts, calendar, and anything you've added. It should, but if it doesn't, there's a place to add stuff; I think. Check the box to sync. Then when you try to upload you shouldn't get the login prompt.
If.you're still having trouble, you may want to see if there's anything in the Picasa Google forums, too.

Guys its working now just randomly, thanks for all the instructions!
Really appreciate it!
I have two gmail accounts and would like to check them from tablet.
How to setup it up?
Feels like android is really a toy. When it goes to practical use, it is not flexible at all.
You can do this 3 ways:
Regular Email app and Gmail app:
Open it, select the option button in the top right, then Settings and tap "Add account", then just follow the guide
Alternatively:
Settings->Accounts and sync and then tapp Add account, select Google Accounts and follow the guide
thank you man. I use the second way. it works perfectly.
Anyone having trouble with the stock ICS browser not loading after enabling the quick controls in the labs menu? All I get is a white screen.
The google account sync also wont sync my browser settings, it keeps saying its experiencing problems.
Labs menu stuff is more of experimental stuff they testing out. A better alternative to stock browser is one called ICS+ browser. Its from the maker of thumb keyboard. Its really good and getting rave reviews right now. Athens maker made a thread in apps n themes section on it. plus it's free and plays flash. Does everything stick does n more, only better n faster. Another good one which is the fastest is Opera Mobile browser.
As far as Google bookmark syncs go, its been happening for a while now. Many people reported it not working right or doing like you said.
Here's how to fix the sync issue
I had a couple of sync issues prior to ICS, and the Browser sync issue after updating to ICS. Yo need to go to your google dashboard: www.google.com/dashboard while signed in on your google accout (the amount of data they have on your prefences for a dozen or so apps is freaking scary) Clear caches and settings in there, then clear the broser cache on TFP. If you can in the state yours is in, I cannot say. You MAY have to har reset or wipe to fix it, but it's not as bad as it used to be. If you have it set to backup your account, settings and market apps, you could have 95% of it back in an hour (I had 170 apps to reinstall, for a seperate issue) and then it's just setting a few prefs, good luck.

I corrected the bookmark sync issue by:
1. On the tablet, disable the sync in Settings > Accounts
2. Go to Google dashboard in Chrome on your PC https://www.google.com/dashboard/
3. Click Stop Sync and delete data from Gogole
4. Refresh the dashboard page until the deletion is complete
5. On the tablet, re-enable the bookmark sync
6. On the PC, sign in to your account in Chrome to start sync again

THIS order worked for me! As long as you don't sign into chrome before you check it on your TFP, it should work. Hope this helps other people
Hello everyone
Today I am goin to show a application called Chrome to phone . This is simple yet a very effective application to transfer links from our desktop to our android
Note :You need Gmail accounts to make this work. and the gmail account on the phone and browser should be the same
Firstly, we need a Google chrome browser > Go to the Chrome store >and search Chrome to Phone > Choose the first option from the list that appears and click Sign in to add > enter ur email id and password and click >add to chrome. You will see a phone like icon on the right side of ur browsers address bar.
Next , Go to Play store and search Chrome to phone and install it. This app may not be for some countries in the play store. For those users search in google for the .apk file . Install the application on the phone .
Next, Click the phone like icon on the right side of ur address bar. It will ask u to sign in to ur gmail account . It will redirect u to a grant permission page. Grant it permission . Dont worry it wont harm ur account
Now, go to the application on android . as the application launches > press next> It will show select an account to choose >Select ur gmail account press next . Now ur phone is linked with ur android and chrome
Note : Some users May not see their accounts on the application if they have not added the account on the android . To do so On ur android Go to Settings> accounts and sync > Add an account > Add the same gmail account which ur using in google chrome .
Any suggestions and Questions are welcomed
Thank you
