WebOS Facebook Chat Missing?

According to the HP notes at: http://www.facebook.com/#!/apps/application.php?id=4620273157&sk=app_7146470109
Facebook chat support was expected in webOS 2.x...obviously this is still missing...
Are there any updates as to when we will see this?
also in terms of the facebook app, there are several bugs including comments showing 'anonymous user' for most names.
Also on the 'news' screen, the dropdown list that shows 'news feed, status update, etc' has several blank options...?
Has this app been dropped, or will it continue to be supported for WebOS 2.x???
Thanks!
Post relates to: HP Pre 3 (Unlocked EU)

Facebook chat is something a lot of people would like to see, but unfortunately it's just not there yet. The webOS Facebook app hasn't been updated in a while so that's probably why you're seeing the "Anonymous user" posts (I see them too on my Pre 3).
Note, the following content is simply my opinion and should not be taken as fact or as a forward looking statement. Only read it if you understand that is simply an opinion.
Spoiler
As to when it'll be updated, who knows. HP is still actively developing webOS but with them switching to an open source model, it might put a hamper/stop to the webOS Facebook app. The reason being that the Facebook API is subject to a user agreement and I don't believe that agreement includes distrobution of source. That would mean that HP would either have to do a closed source app or none at all. And to be honest, I think they are focusing more on the OS then the apps right now. Anyway, that's just my 2 cents.

  • Facebook chat in OS X Messages shows numbers instead of names

    Though I have used Facebook chat in iChat and now OS X's Messages programs for many years now with few issues (some disconnecting issues here and there but that's about it) The past few days I have encountered a problem that I can't figure out how to fix.
    Whenever I first launch Messages and it logs me into FB chat, the names of my friends show up correctly for a handful of seconds. Then, suddenly all of the names and pictures disappear and instead turn into numbers (those aren't the actual numbers, just examples of what it looks like.) So my buddy/friends list becomes populated with all of these numbers and I can't tell who is who.
    If I quit Messages and relaunch it, again I will see the proper names of my friends for a handful of seconds after logging in, but it always turns right back into a bunch of numbers.
    I'm thinking this MUST be a server problem since not a single thing has changed on my computer.
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing? Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    HI,
    I missed this thread as it was not tagged with the Messages Category.
    However I have read most of the other threads in Mountain Lion and the iChat Communities on this issue.
    I have read that it does not appear to effect Adium but has been reported effecting other Jabber Client app.
    It is effecting both Messages in Mountain Lion and iChat in earlier versions of the OS.
    It does appear to be a Facebook issue as the Buddy list will display User IDs unless linked to an Address Card when it will display the "Real Name" in your Address Book.
    Obviously the numbers are linked to the Jabber IDs at Facebook  (Any account with "Chat" enabled) but are not actually Jabber IDs as you lose the Buddy icon replaced with the generic Head and Shoulders icon.
    I have asked the Hosts to remove pics in some posts that contain snapshots of the issue.
    Although the issue is not Apple's there are considerations about whether they are seen to be assisting in posting Facebook users info.

  • Hi Team, Facebook Chat is not availble

    Hi Team,
    Facebook Chat is not available in Firefox Beta version however it is working fine in Internet explorer. I request u to please look into the issue and let us know whether this is related to Facebook or Mozilla, the chat option is working fine on Internet explorer.Since Mozilla is much better than IE , I request you to look into this so that I can continue using Mozilla. Here is the list of questions I found related to Facebook https://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=6494671374&topic=11594
    Thanks Mohsin.

    You should try clearing the cache-
    Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
    Also try removing unwanted cookies-
    Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Did you try running it on [[Safe mode]] to see which plugin/addon etc might be causing that?
    Here is another thread with the same question with a little more detailed explanation-

  • Using Firefox to access facebook chat Button or online friiend chat button generates a Black screen with CANNOT LOAD IMAGES and no chat window opens.

    This does not happen in other browsers and it happens on a variety of computers I have access to and would seem to be a common problem but I can find no identical cases in my searches of
    Firefox , Facebook or windows help or Google search. My home machine is only a P2 with WINXPCORP but works fine and I have done all updates but still have this continuing problem every time I try to use Firefox
    to access Facebook chat but it does not happen with IE or chrome
    The response to clicking on chat button or friend chat is a black screen with small center square box with blue title bar that says
    '' VIEW IMAGE FULL SCREEN - (42) FACEBOOK X""
    center of box is ""! "" mark in yellow triangle and wording
    "" CANNOT LOAD IMAGES ''' OK
    clicking on OK returns to facebook page but no chat opens.
    Some times |VERY RARLEY if as the page loades you click on
    chat button with 1/2 second of it appearing chat will open.

  • Gmail drop-down menus (Move to, Labels) and emails and Facebook chat will not open.

    I am unable to open emails in standard Gmail. Emails can be opened after switching to the basic html version. I am also unable to use the drop-down menus, such as "Move to" or "Labels." The button turns gray, but the options do not appear.
    Facebook chat is giving me a similar problem. When I click "Chat" in the bottom left, it acts as though it's trying to load but does not open up to reveal friends.
    I have tried the following: deleting cookies, reinstalling Java, updating my vid card drivers, and uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox
    Scans for viruses and spyware have yielded no results. I use AVG, Spybot, and Malwarebytes. The Gmail emails and menus will open in IE8.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Facebook chat not available -- Yahoo redirect to password sign-in page

    Facebook chat is "unavailable" -- getting a triangle with an exclamation point. In my Yahoo e-mail account I can do nothing but view my e-mails. Any attempt to open an attachment (a pic sent from my phone), clicking on "mail options," sending a help request e-mail to Yahoo, writing an e-mail -- basically anything I do -- sends me to the password sign-in page. Could not log into another e-mail account at Road Runner. Page just flipped crazily back & forth between loading & "read message." However, none of this happens if I use Internet Explorer; everything works fine there. Problem started two days ago. I do not believe I did anything, downloaded anything, nor changed anything right before this happened. Been told by internet carrier to un-install Firefox and re-install. Not opposed to doing this, but will that solve the problem? I sure don't want it to happen again. I have a main password for Firefox and a few other passwords saved. Laptop, running Windows Vista. Anti-virus program is AVG (full paid version). Have disabled some AVG items (tool bar, link-something-or-other) per help suggestions on Firefox site, and this has worked fine for nearly 2 months.

  • Screen is 'splitting' and computer is freezing in facebook chat and Skype - any ideas?

    Hello - having issues with computer freezing during facebook chat and skype - also desktop 'splits' in half - like the 'apple' that should normally be in the top left corner is 2/3rds the way to the right and the time,date etc is in the middle of the screen.
    Cannot force quit or get out of the programs once it freezes.
    Anyone seen this?
    Thanks.

    If you've applied the latest updates for your system and it's still doing it and you've maybe already gone the extra mile and reloaded the OS, then it's a hardware issue and will probably require a physical fix.
    I would suggest backing up your personal data and then do an OS reload and without putting anything back on it, try it then.  If it still happens, then it's hardware.

  • My video call icon on facebook chat has disappeared since upgrading to mavericks, any ideas anyone?

    Since upgrading to Mavericks about a month ago, my video chat icon has disappeared from Facebook chat - I can't think of any other reason for this problem other than the upgrade to Mavericks. Any ideas anyone?

    I'm also dealing with some slowness since moving to Mavericks — but mainly with regard to long lag times with the Finder when I go to rename files, move files, or delete files.

  • Facebook chat - sending messages to offline contact

    Whenever I am writing something to a Facebook contact via Skype, and this person happens to go offline, even if it is just for a minute, the Skype window prohibits me from typing anything else as it changes to the "x is offline. Send SMS" window immediately. Also, there is no way to access what I have already typed till the contact in question comes back online.  As this is terribly frustrating, I am wondering if there is a way to turn this off by changing some sort of setting, or whether this could be fixed in an upgrade or so. It of course shouldn't be an issue as Facebook itself allows offline messaging too. A lot of my contacts actually just get on Facebook chat whenever I send them a message. I encounter the described problem about twice a day in average. Thanks a lot!!

    Common, it's a basic feature of any chat client. Some my facebook friends are invisible but still chat, however Skype consider they're offline and I cannot send message to them from Skype desktop. Please allowed us to send message to FB offline contacts (in fact, they're really online, just invisible / turn off Chat status).

  • Facebook chat

    Yesterday I installed Skype again (other laptop) and now I can chat in Skype with my Facebook friends. And when I'm offline from Facebook, but online on Skype, my Facebook friends see me as online and can talk to me. I don't want that all the time, if I close Facebook, I don't want my Facebook friends to see me online, how can I change this?
