Microsoft Facebook Client 1.2 (1.1.0.14) for Windows Mobile

HTC HD2 has Facebook mobile client built in but it is not the latest version. Microsoft Marketplace has the latest version 1.1.0.14 for Windows Mobile. Other platforms already got version 1.2. I installed this so called latest version on my HTC HD2. Hoping to get a better performance in viewing photo. But I was wrong. The same slowness still can be found in this 1.1.0.14 version. The Windows Mobile loading icon keeps showing while loading photo sometimes. I rather use HTC Album to view Facebook photo. It is faster. And do the rest like view status update, news feed, people info in this Facebook mobile client.

By the way, you will notice there is lot of folders pop up on HTC Album after you wondering around Facebook 1.1.0.14 photo. It has image cache. The image cache folder is located at your device storage but you can change to Storage Card if needed. Just edit HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Facebook\ImageCache -> path to the location that you want. And use this guide to hide these folders with pictures from HTC Album.

With HTC HD2 large screen, I seldom use Facebook client. I login to Facebook directly with Opera browser. How about you?

Add missing task manager on HTC HD2

Who need the task manager on HTC HD2? Yup. HTC did not put the usual task manager on HTC HD2 desktop. You need to do several clicks in order to dig it out. It is not very user friendly. But I can tell you that I don’t need to use task manager to end any program after using it for 1 week. HTC HD2 has more than enough memory for you and me.

How to enable HTC HD2 camera flash on low battery?

One of the readers, Norm asked, “Do you know where I can find the tweak to enable the camera flash even at low battery levels?” That’s a good question. By default, HTC HD2 camera flash is disabled when battery level drop below 20%. You cannot use camera flash on either photo or video mode. So how to enable HTC HD2 camera flash on low battery?

By changing the registry will do the trick.

– FlashLightPowerUnavailable value from 1 to 0[/pull_quote_center]

Just in case you need it. Here is the link to Free Windows Mobile Registry Editor. Note – this is not a permanent solution. You need to change the registry again after you soft reset your phone.
