Perform actions in 1st post of this thread. Works like a charm! (Thanks btong1978! ;.) )

Only thing now, though, I can't figure out why web links that I click on in email messages don't open using Opera Mobile...still opens using Iexplorer Can anyone help??? Thanks!
PS - I love that btong1978's fixes allows EVERYTHING in the "Internet" TouchFlo tab to open using Opera...sweeeet ;.)
Oh - Also read through this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550647&highlight=opera+mobile+default+web+browser], Contentryder. Seems to have some Cabs that may fix your issue (I say "may" b/c I've not tried it myself, but it all makes sense and seems to have put all of btong1978's fixes into a Cab file that takes care of everything for you w/o you having to get your hands dirty w/ reg edits ;.)
Happy tweaking!

Anyone else notice if you click on a link that takes you to facebook, it opens IE and directs to touch.facebook.com, which at least on my hd7, doesn't work right.
I have to switch it to m.facebook.com
This shows up mainly when I respond to facebook friend requests that show up in my email.
Apparently, according to a dev I read who worked on Mobile Safari and android browsers, web apps developed for those two such as touch.facebook.com won't work in Mobile IE for now. I'm not sure why though, sorry man

that's ok. Just wished that if I click a facebook link, IE wouldn't redirect to touch.facebook.com if it doesn't work.

Same thing happens on Android (the redirection). If it's from an eMail (in the Email app or on the email site), then it's going to punt you to the website.
If you see a friend request in you email, it's not hard to open the Facebook app and accept it. Do you not get notifications for these?
HTML5 is coming to WP7's IE in an update next year.

I can just change the url once IE opens as well. I just wasn't sure if this was a wp7 issue, IE issue, phone issue.
Thanks for the clarification.
So are these "web apps" like facebook and gmail built with HTML5? Newb question, but i dont know much about that kinda stuff
I really hope Microsoft makes some improvements to IE with the January/February update.

sounds like html5 support will be in the fall update. haven't heard about flash (except that it is being worked on).
I have an HD7, I've downloaded the Facebook ap, also have registered both my phone number and e-mail with Facebook.
Using the app version, i do not see any options to upload photos...only a page that says "photos", and its blank.
Also when i go to Settings>Applications>Pictures and Camera, there is only the quick upload option to SkyDrive and nothing else.
Any help would be appreciated!
nevermind! forgot to setup the account like i did with my gmail.

you have to login in the facebook app then to photos, albums, create new one and then you can upload photos in it.
Maybe I am missing something....
When in Internet Explorer, there is no way to share a link with Facebook.
The Share sub menu only allows sharing via Hotmail and Messaging (same goes for albums/songs in Zune). Same goes for the integrated Facebook app -- if I copy a link and paste it in the ME hub, it posts the URL in Facebook as text, not as a link would normally be shared. (I know I can use the Facebook app to post links, but that's not the point)
Is this to be expected?
Thanks.
(fyi, I have the HTC Arrive)
I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.

I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..

OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?
This works for adding pics but how do you make Facebook the default pic...

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..
