Re: My Facebook client for the n900

Great progress! Haven't had much time testing (not a big facebook user), but since you have to select a post to view comments/like, some indication (icon/whatever) that you commented/liked a post would be useful.

Also, error messages are white text on the yellow banner, near impossible to read when they flash on the screen.

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

in fact the app is in the repo, just checked, but not up to date ^^ it's the 0.1.1

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

Ya no update yet :( any ideas why? Nokia wants us to use their shitty FB app haha

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

am not very comfortable using .deb files.

any idea when you plan to update the repo with the latest versions? thanks

Re: My Facebook client for the n900

The package importer seems to be down, it's not app-specific.
Just click on the deb links to open them in App Manager, you don't need to use terminal to install them (only on PR1.1.1 aka 3.2010)

The problem isn't the placement of posts (Conversations IM/SMS works this way too) but that I don't have good techniques for autoscroll/etc yet.

This will be addressed (better) in the future.

Thanks for your feedback!

But I forgot to mention that I had another problem:

In the dialog where I had to enter my Facebook credentials the submit button did not work for me. Ok, simply used the return button to submit the credentials...
But in the next page for the extended permissions the allow-button did also not work...
I checked the permissions for the NokiaN900 application on my FB profile. Both "Access my data, when I am not using the application" and "Publish content on my wall" are checked (permission descritions are translated by me, so they might look similar to you). Its not possible to give additional permissions to the application.

Dont know, but maybe its related to the problem that Facebrick shows nothing?
Are there permissions missing?

Hmm. Your case is a really weird one. Are you sure there are items in your feed in FB? If so, FB isn't giving them to us - nor is it giving facebrick an error.

You can try tapping the menu on the main screen and logging out - write your user/pass in a notes application and copy them to the login screen. Currently it does odd things to it for some people which perhaps might have caused you problems?

I think this is a Qt bug (probably already fixed in PR1.2). I'll be talking to the Qt people about it tomorrow.

As MohammadAG says - this isn't something I can solve unfortunately. fMMS and other apps are having similar problems at the moment.

In the meantime, if you click the .deb on the link I gave in the release post, it will update it for you - with the same content that will be going into extras-devel.

I know it might sound a bit shady, but if you trust me enough to install my app from e-d - then surely you trust me enough to pull it from there for the time being.

I will get it into extras-devel as soon as I can. I appreciate your patience and acknowledge that this is very frustrating.

Sure there are items on my news feed in FB (at least several for each today and the last few days plus even the status updates I posted from Facebrick do not show up within Facebrick but only on FB itself).
I already used the logout button and entered my credentials multiple times using the notes copy trick, using the virtual keyboard as well as hardware keyboard.
Dont think the problem is here as I am able to post status updates from Facebrick my credentials must me correct and accepted by FB.
Guess the problem is the submit / allow access buttons in the authentication dialog. As I described they just wont work with me and thus I am not able to finish the second step with giving extended permission by clicking "Allow Access".
You have any idea why these buttons do not work???

Just for completeness:
I installed the version from extras-devel first and then the latest .deb file from your website.
Is it possible that this caused some trouble?
