You know moTweets right?
The super cheap Twitter client (only US$3.99) that Panoramic Software developed.
It has a very nice GUI like iPhone, got complete and perfectly-working feature as well.
And this morning I asked Panoramic to develop Facebook application as well, since there is no single good/decent Facebook application for WinMo yet.
Even the M$' Facebook app is suck and not working right. It even can't fetch the stream by itself, need manual refresh.
The other simply used the cropped version (mobile version) of NewsFeed, not the complete one like BlackBerry's.
I asked them to make Facebook application for WinMo with nice GUI like moTweets and the functionality like Facebook for BlackBerry.
And here's their answer to my idea (we had conversation via Twitter) @PanoramicSoft: "We will definitely consider creating a Facebook app for WinMo. Thanks."
So, just tweet them and give them a vote.
They're surveying whether they need to develop this app or not.
Don't vote here, just send a tweet to @PanoramicSoft or email them at [email protected].
I'm not Panoramic's affiliate. I'm just the satisfied customer that use their moTweets application. And I want to share the idea here so if you all want a good/decent Facebook app, this is the solution.
Or, as I put in the other thread where you mentioned this, use the Microsoft developed Facebook client.

Yup, but that program is a dead program, no further development (stuck in 1.0.0.7p for long time), very slow, can't even do simple basic task (live news feed like the Blackberry's), can't fetch notification, and so many more bugs that rendering it useless...
Up you go! Be the first post in Dev&Hack...
yeah. MS has a crappy client for facebook. half the time I dont get my messages or even look at my profile.
What is it with microsoft. I thought thay paid a **** load for facebook and thay can't make a good app. Saw the new one on my mates I-phone the other day and it was cool.So I'm up for this.
Yeah, that's why, I suggest Panoramic Soft to make one with great interface like moTweets.
They're taking votes now, so just drop an email to [email protected] or tweet them via twitter: @PanoramicSoft
Coz I'm not Panoramic's people. I'm just their satisfied customer. ^^
If the vote is sufficient, They'll start developing the app for Facebook.
Up! Up! Up! Make this post to the first page. Let peoples know about this..
bump/.......
sent an email..
Yupz... Just need a vote to make them start developing the Facebook apps.
And I think peoples in XDA-Devs not really interested in Facebook.
No response from XDA-Devs peoples.. Only one or two peoples interested...

Yup, please help me forwarding this. I'm currently sending an email to all my Facebook friends, Twitter followers, and all of the forum I'm currently in.
Thanks for the support.. Hope that we can get a decent Facebook apps.
Im in the same boat as you all guys. WM needs a good Facebook apps. The one from MS sucks!
Not only sucks, the one from MS isn't counted as an app at all for me.. I even uninstall it after first use.. It even lack basic auto-refresh feature, not to mention about live-feed... I think that MS' programmers can't even make live-feed feature for Facebook app... Or maybe they don't know how to utilize Facebook's API..
you know ever since I started using Mini5 i kinda fell off the boat as far as using facebook goes. My facebook is sync'd to my yahoo account which I'm using push for. My favorites(which opera mini has that looks like google chrome) has iphone facebook account page saved which has a very slick and usable UI. So its really just one push of the button from the internet. I dunno...if I were to want anything it would be more like the X1's facebook panel which is really nice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAtiCEE3hDQ and I actually liked it back when i was running the panels on my HD.
No need to copy innovation when you can port it.
you could go to x.facebook.com in opera mobile, works perfectly on my touch pro, but i agree, an app would be nice, especially if its like the xperia one, i sent a request to them.

Sent an email. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
i dont use facebook at all, but i would like that winmo has better facebook app than ipony
just tell me what to send/type in email
I am looking for a free app/service that will automatically upload pictures as soon as I take them from my phone (htc touch pro).
What do you use and why? What is out there?
Edit: cant post links...lame...use the googlez
What I have found:
mIQ
Its free but you have to "manually" open the app and let it "autosync".
Mesh
Its still in beta and unfinished...
funambol
Looks like you can sync pictures but doesn't show an option for phones...
myphone
Its limited and not automatic...
sugarsync
This is by far the best but they have not added photo syncing to their app. You will most likely have to open the app for it to sync.
shozu
Kinda annoying by the way it asks you every time to sync
Live Mesh is simple to use and it is running fine for me ! it syncs vice versa too ie. with desktop-to-cloud-to-urmobile.
mIQ should start automatically and run in the background as long as sync is set to "Automatic" in settings.
If you're settings are correct and pictures are NOT uploading automatically as they should, feel free to contact us on our help/feedback page (sorry can't post links yet) and we'll get it figured out!

I had forgot about this post but I as soon as I saw a reply I was going to recommend mIQ. MIQ does run in the background and upload automatically. It just takes time pending on how big the megapixel of the camera.
MIQ is now my favorite app. Plus its amazing too because I work in bby as well.
Now if only I can get that HipLogic app that is advertised soo much...
I can't seem to see all the text messages that i backed up on there.
Also how do i restore the texts from the website to my phone?
Using Winmobile btw.

Message them on facebook or twitter. They are quick to respond.
There was a thread here a while back about this issue. Basically, every post or picture I send to Facebook through the people or picture hubs goes in with "only me" privacy.
The previous fix was to edit the permissions of the Windows phone app on facebook but this app no longer exists so I can't do that. I've tried many permutations of deleting the Microsoft app from facebook, my windows love association and the facebook account from my phone then starting again (in various orders and permutations). I've even tried logging in with my facebook.com e-mail address and nothing is fixing it. I've sent a request to FB asking for guidance and nothing yet so if anyone has anything to suggest that would be great.
It's beginning to get annoying as it's a great feature for WP.
Thinking about switching to a Lumia 920, however Gmail support is very important to me. It really is too much hassle to change to outlook - I've looked into it and it won;t happen.
Question: will WP8 allow developers to come up with alternative mail clients for Gmail, like Sparrow for iOS? If so, is anyone developing such an app?
What would you get from a GMAIL app that you wouldn't get from setting it up in the email settings?

a really nice and intuitive userinterfae for example?
I'm using the email-app for it, but i have to say i really miss a Gmail-App.
anyway, google is messing with Windows Phone users, i'm thinking about switching to outlook.com because of goggle being evil
Here's someone who wrote down a howto

Intuitive.......ok I can see all my folders and emails..... Are we talking about gtalk being in the app or something. As far as email goes it works fine for my 2 Gmail accounts.
OK let me clarify. I am talking about the changes Gmail is going to make with activesync. I would like to use an app on WP8 that handles Gmail in a way as Gmail is intended to be used including multiple labels. An example of such an app, however this one is on iOS, is Sparrow. Does anyone know of a similar app that's being developed for WP8?
PS: thanks for the tutorial for moving to outlook.com, it seems easier than I thought.

hey, no offense, but i think you're missing the point. Everyone is a individual and has some wishes how to handle things. if someone aks for something he would like to have, it's his own decision how to have it. so it's rather useless to tell him not to have it the way he would like to have it because the way YOU have it works.
and! in case of googlemail. google ****ed up active sync on purpose, so if you buy a new windows phone you have to use imap or pop. i think giving google a kick in the a.. by moving on is a good idea. they have become too strong. atm i'm testing if outlook.com is able to replace googlemail and while outlook.com is working prettyx nice on Android, maybe i will move on. there's nothing missing on Lumia except the Lable "google" everything they made is replaceable.

sorry, but atm i don't know an app like this and google btw. clarified that there's no need for them to build googleapps for Windws phone
ok
I understand user individuality and I understand your point of view. His statement after mine would have made a better response. I am well aware of the google activesync fiasco, and Outlook.com is great my kids use it. Now I thought that they wouldn't support if for people were free customers....That is sad indeed and I will then be forced to either jump ship or get email every 5mins-2hrs either way I will have to deal with it. Regardless I hope you find what you are looking for and I can vouch for the outlook.com or gmail (with activesync).
Hi all,
I witnessed an issue regarding all android phones/versions between 2.1-4.2 without any solution, and I couldn't find any thread that talks about it in the proprietary+google search.
The issue: pic's get cropped, and I'm forced to click the "can't view properly? click here" link to the web page.
Here's a screeenshot:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aRlprYWNyUmNWMDA/edit?usp=sharing
The issue isn't for all mails, and there are some mail that can be viewed properly within the Gmail app itself.
I'm currently running the latest Gmail app as you can see with the top nav buttons.
Anyone else experiencing this issue ?
Go into : Menu -Settings - General settings - Auto -fit messages. Check it, and back out. The message should now be entirely seen in the screen. To Zoom in just tap the screen, or use the two finger spread method.
Tried that already...just forgot to mention.
any other ideas?
It's something a bit more complicated than a just a setting or wrong usage.
Other than that, the only other thing I can suggest is to unistall mail. Then reinstall.

Thanks again for your answer !
Well I've uninstalled the gmail several times when tried the leaked Gmail apps(the first one that supports swipe to archive+pinch to zoom, and obviously the last one who supports the new tabs interface).
I'll just mention it's not a specific problem but cross device and cross android+Gmail versions.
I tried every version of android/gmail combo(forwarding lots of mail to friends etc) but each time they all get the same problem.
The only thing I figured out who kinda gave me an alternative is use the stock mail client and not the gmail one, but in that case I'm loosing lots of the Gmail app functionality.
This is really something that just myself noticed? this is not one mail or a specific sender.
In the OP you mentioned that it does not happen on all your Gmail Email. Is it just from certain People / Companies ?
No, it's usually when I get promotion emails from my bank or some online shopping websites that uses big photos that are basically links.
Moreover, it's always from automated mails BUT I think that's only because I'm not receiving large photos in personal emails.
I would recheck settings. I know sometimes when I'm frustrated, I miss stuff.

Thanks again for your effort, I'm really certain that I haven't miss an option as every new app version that releases I'm scanning all of the features.
Here's a screen shot of my settings, I've highlighted the only possible option that can affect this, by my understanding:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1-naiwBRz1aSU5od1hmOWtUT3M/edit?usp=sharing
BTW In case that I'm not clear enough with the issue I can forward(if you want to PM me with your mail) you one of those mails, I got lots of them. Of course if it's ok by you...
I'd love to hear any other ideas
