FAQ / Notes / Troubleshooting:
- touch/x/iphone/lite.facebook.com: doesn't open the way you expect in the integrated browser, which is the same as explorer in WM 6.1, so there is not point integrating it.
- WAP: fb chat needs solid 3G / WiFi / GPRS internet connection. Even if your operator allows some facebook features thru its wap proxy, not sure it will be enough to use chat feature of facebook.
- "Incorrect Email/Password Combination": but you are positively sure you entered everything correctly? Well, if you have special characters in your email or password replace them. Only numbers, English letters and of course @ at the email allowed, also keep in mind that facebook passwords are case sensitive.
- 3G: some 3g issues were fixed in version 2.2.8, If you still cant connect over 3G, check the settings on: Start->Settings->Connections Tab->Connections->Advanced->Select Networks->Programs that automatically connect to the Internet should connect using. You should choose your operator's internet connection and not its wap portal.
- WM 6.5: Internal browser might be buggy, hopefully it will get better when WM 6.5 is more "official". there is nothing i can do about it right now.
- Smart Phones (Windows Mobile Standard with no touch screen): supported since version 2.2.7, if you have problems/comments/suggestions post them in this forum.
- Photo/Video Uploads: If you are having problems with photo or video uploading, update your .NETCF to 3.5.
