getting this to work in a situation where facebook is banned looks utterly futile. I can connect to Facebook fine using the "Tor Status Applet" (a tunnel/proxy service) since I live in China but when I open Hermes and click on Retrieve, nothing happens. it says "fetching friends" for about 5 minutes and then says network error or something like check connection.

my question is, why is it not even requesting to "validate" or open up the browser. I have the browser open in the background and logged into FB, waiting for the app to chime in but nothing happens. :S

any ideas?

If you press "Retrieve" rather than "Refresh", it will only fill in blanks.

Not at the moment, no. Patches (or at least a bug report on which a spec can be hung) welcome. Current thought is the use of a X-MAEMO-HERMES-... field or fields to store metadata ("can change photo", "do not change photo", "birthday inaccurate") against a contact.

When i select "Accounts" there is only a "Use Facebook" check box, but nowhere to input my facebook account details for it to retreive my contacts information. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Apologies if this has already been suggested, I have not read the whole thread, but would it be possible to implement the contacts added using the jabber/facebook chat feature into Hermes? By this I mean when you add a facebook chat account using jabber it adds all your facebook friends into your contact list and you have duplicates for all your friends that you have in both your FB friends list and phone contacts. Is there a way to add a mass merge feature into Hermes to get rid of the duplicates?

There should be a message saying something like "Note: authentication for Facebook is done via browser, as required". i.e. if/when it needs your Facebook credentials it will open a web browser on facebook.com for you to authenticate.

Is there a plan to add Orkut support in Hermes? Facebook is not popular here in Brazil, Orkut dominates, I think that's the case in India also.
