1. What is CenceMe?

CenceMe is an application for your iPhone™. CenceMe infers human presence information based on iPhone™ sensors, for example, activity, location according to the user's privacy settings. Soon, CenceMe will even be able to determine if a person is busy in a conversation, or dancing at a party! This presence can be gathered and shared with your Facebook™ friends running CenceMe on their iPhone; (MySpace™ is coming soon!), as well as viewed locally on the iPhone™. CenceMe software also allows you to customize how your presence information is displayed, by assigning personalized icons, photo, and text to your presence. The personalized text can be used also as your Facebook™ Status if you want.

10. Sometimes my most recent CenceMe presence is reflected on my Facebook™ profile only after a long delay. What is happening?

Most often the cause of this problem is due to limited data network coverage for your iPhone™ at your particular location. The CenceMe iPhone™ application can not connect to our servers and so presence updates are not possible.

11. I thought I already activated my application, but I am requested to re-activate my application with Facebook™. Why does this occur?

A request to re-activate your CenceMe iPhone™ application with Facebook™ can occur for a variety of reasons. Most often this happens due to an incomplete or faulty activation process. Users must be sure to click the blue button presented in the final screen of the registration process. Re-activate CenceMe from your iPhone™ (see Question 3).
