Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

There seems to be some issues with the trial not showing the login screen, will fix this later today.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

sadly we all lost interests on your latest version since you convert you free :D (beta) version to trial :( (pay/buy) version....

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

The trial version works for me now. It didn´t a couple of days ago

I wouldn´t mind paying 1$ for this . I mainly use facebook in Opera since i´m downsizing my facebook usage.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I would love to buy it once it's avaible on Ovi store. Come on, not even 1$, only 0.5.$.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

hey not all, im sure lots of users including me will pay for this great app. cmon dude, nowadays, you have to pay a lil bit to get nice things. :)

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Yes, we lost interest because he actually wants our money (and probably an outrageous sum of a couple of euros) for an extremely polished and fully featured facebook client with a great UI, that he has put a lot of effort into. How dare he?

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Is this fixed now?
download link still says v2.0.1

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Speak for yourself, I for one don't mind paying for quality software that fits in with my needs.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Sorry I have got some internet connection problems at home, I will try get this done asap.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Having the same prob. Fix would be nice. Thanks :)

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I feel like I should input my .02 here - this guy makes an awesome application, labels it as a beta and releases it to the N900 market, mostly filled with super nerds and developers and has them beta test it, then he changes the beta into a trial version - however the link to buy the trial version is nowhere to be found?

Personally I think he should release it to the Maemo 5 community free of charge, since it will always be in beta stages for us.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Is this app going to be available in stable form for the N900? Ovi Store? Any information?

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Finally I was able to get this trough Nokia QA to Nokia Store.

fMobi now available from Nokia Store

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

The purchase version is really worth it! thanx man.
just one thing, for a moment I was excited that there's replying msgs option, but it doesn't seem to function. any idea? is it FB API again?

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Your chat needs to be on to make it work.
Thanks!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

@jkosonen

can you please put a dashboard/minimize tab on the possible next update for maemo?

i know ctrl + <- on the slideout keyboard can do it but an icon will help on the days i just feel touching and tapping the screen only...


btw, i read previous posts and it seems fmobi is in ovi store now for sale. is there a feature not included on 2.0.1 when it was still in your site as "trial"?

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

not available in your country og language baaaaaaaaah!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

install Shortcutd from Extra-devel or extras, it allows u to use the camera button light press to do any function like dashboard/minimize. Very helpful for portrait mode. I use it for long now. makes life easier!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

An statusbar-icon would be really cool.
Just bought the app but can't really see a difference to the trial version that I was using before.

I want a setting to disable the auto update period setting and

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Thank you, Ovi version is veeery nice, worth buying it! Thanks for developing this app; chat implementation is not as good as i would like as it isn't so easy to manage a lot of conversations.... anyway, thank you very much!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I still think the developer is an a-hole, but I bought his excellent application. I hope you're happy with your 2 dollars! IS IT WORTH YOUR HONOR!?!?!?!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

you can use the native n900 conversation for the chat

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Why don't you chill out already. We should be glad some still keep developing quality software to our our over two years old platform.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I respectfully disagree - we own a developers device, it is known to be buggy, it is out dated, and it does require tweaks to run properly. The profit margin the author is making off of N900 users (who he undoubtedly stood on the shoulders of giants with) is very minimal compared to Symbian ^3 and MeeGo ports. And the way the author released the beta for testing then disabled it was a total A-HOLE MOVE.

"Hey guys - test this for me and tell me if it works? Okay, what about now? Cool, try this. Great. Thanks a lot for helping me test my product and your feedback, now I am going to deactivate it and make you all pay $2 for it."

That guy is an a-hole. Damn fine application though, P.S. YOUR WELCOME FOR OUR [MAEMO COMMUNITY] FEEDBACK AND TESTING!

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Well, that's true, but the app is nice enough and handles direct messaging, and I know, built-in facebook messanging is the better (It's even better than experimental Telepathy-KDE I use(d) in my Kubuntu Desktop Machine... jaja)
And that of 'using' us... nobody forced anyone to 'help' him testing his apps; he didn't actually invented that way of doing things. For example, I tried MS Office 2010 Beta and a couple days after beta version was out it stoppred workin: 'Beta is over' it said... so... I don't blame the programmer for that. (And BTW it was $20MXN in Ovi Sore which is slightly less than $2USD, jejejeje) (Karma: 3G not available in Mexico)

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

i agree with you....remember this apps is depends on...

if somehow these 3 element got an-upgrade & make fMobi problem can he(dev's) make a promise a upgrade of his apps will be free of charge??

facebook is developing every days...soon facebook will change its API again...these apps might be working at these moment but lets see when alter on if he can promise a free upgrade to his so called greats apps...

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

He might, he might now - the profit margin he will see is so small since this is a DEV community. AND HE USED US.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

can you please give the guy a break? though i didn't like the way the plug was pulled i still wouldn't bash him so much. just uninstall the app and do not buy it.
anyway, i'm not really that offended and do appreciate people who code for Maemo.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Stay calm people...

It's 2!!! ****ing €, so buy the application or let it!

Imho the program is totally worth the 2€ and the developer did a great job.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

The question still rises, how will we get updates through ovi store??? Symbian and MeeGo can, we can't.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

you still have Sociality or Kasvopus so if you don't want to pay, install one of them

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Sucks to be you.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

sociality no work . kasvopus have error

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

i need facebook free :p = to android is free

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

No, even you admit it. Let's go though this:

1) He knows the Maemo community is A SMALL MARKET of people who are developers, tinkers, beta testers, and hacks.
2) He released a beta application for us to test, we tested it, gave feedback, came up with our own solutions, etc.
3) He released a new one for us to test, we did that and as soon as he was done USING us - he DISABLED THE APPLICATION. (my main problem)

I don't mind that he is charging, I paid $2 for the application. I also pay taxes and I think most of my government is filled with a-holes.

Here is my point: this community helped him build it, plain and simple. There was no reason for him to disable the beta. It is just a nasty selfish thing to do. I still think it should be free since he relied upon us for his testing and development - however what really ticks me off is he disabled the beta, just to be <insert offensive word here>.

If he comes here and give me a VALID reason why he disabled the beta that we tested for him I will "give the guy a break."

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I paid for Angry Birds, JoikuSpot (that stopped working), Coaster Rush 3D, TowerBloxx, Zen Bound, StellariuMobile, and a few others. They all released finished products without the help of the Maemo community and I paid for their work and was happy to do it. This is not about the two measly dollars, it is about the way the guy went about it.

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

I went though this thread and looked for all the members who beta tested this for him, reported bugs, gave input, etc. He should contact all of the below members and send them the finished product free of charge.

ayos!, Carlito, N900L, Chrome, cloud596, ejasmudar, dar3d3vil, Zekahz, akrus, pusak gaoq, sneer_69, eefo, gregoranderson, gilamonyet, Dark_Angel85, amadeukaos, strange1712, jpala16, coredumb, NightShift79, dekor, Mike Fr, StocChr, droll, Haider, STVN, trisha02, Del, travla, Alfred, liao22

If I missed you above, I am sorry. How is that for a compromise?

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

It was always said it was a Beta, and he didn't just developed a version for Maemo, but also for Symbian and Meego, Whose communities also helped him fix bugs, and in spite of their community size, it would be just unfair to charge on them and let it free for us just because we are cool and (also) helped him reporting bugs... He did right as he could have just published a limited and buggy app on Ovi Store for the same charge but instead he first allowed us to test his app for free, he improved it and when Beta was over so was the app, as easy as that, Being a Beta Tester doesn't generate rights or ownership over the app, that never happens. Even in Open Source Software, which can also be paid, you wouldn't receive a copy of the compiled program for being tester, you just would be mentioned in the "thanks to testers..."
Developer is also reasonable, if libs or facebook api change so that the app turns outdated or unusable, he might update the app or send you an updated version independently if Ovi works or not... If he denies to do that I would support you, right now I don't...

Re: [Announce] fMobi - Facebook mobile client
 

Time will tell, and judging by his character in disabling the beta for no reason I am betting against him.
