maybe this question was disccussed already...
i'm using Duttys Holy Grail ROM and when i link my contacts to their facebook account they are linked but their pictures are not set as default when i come back to the all contacts tab for the second time. is there a solution for this?
diito...thought the point of downloading the contacts was so you get the pics too??

Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints

Firstly i'm new to these forums and the exciting concept of flashing ROMs, so hello! I feel like a giddy child.
I've noticed that WinMo 6.5 (and Android) give you the option to link your contacts to Facebook accounts, unfortunately i discovered that for alot of people i know, when associating Facebook accounts through your address book, profile pictures don't all load up in the look-up. This means they can't always be used as Caller images for your contacts.
Currently i'm accessing this featuring by going into edit contact details and clicking the 'Link, Associate with Facebook account' button at the bottom.
Anybody had the same problem or have a work around? Its a very useful feature and something which i was looking forward to using. Maybe there's a method to link facebook accounts en masse?

Facebook integration depends on which manila you're using. 2.5 vs 2.1 act differently when it comes to facebook. 2.5 lets you sync all the contacts at once but doesn't set the picture as the default profile pic so you have to go back and set it (also, it only sets it in manila not wm). 2.1 doesn't have mass sync but automatically sets the picture as your default profile pic.
each contact in manilla's contact manager you have to manual link each account "associate with facebook" and it downloads there picture etc
we need a program that can just link all these for you with out going in each one is there anything around ??
Funny... did a quite similar request 23 mins before ^^
how does manilla associate contacts with facebook? where is it stored?
think it depend on which phone/rom you have as i have diamond 2 and dont have that prob.
i use energy 2.5 rom and it does that on my touch pro *fuze* which am happy about because about half my contacts are on my face book, lol
How can I get back to my original contact photo after integrating it with Facebook? I don't want Facebook's avatars.
It's stored in the contact notes. I'm not sure what version of manila you're using but in 2.5, go into the contact, then edit details, click on the picture and you can choose where it grabs it from.
I'm curious about this as well. a friend of my recently changed their phone number and they updated it on facebook, I found it that way... Curious if there was a way to bring more then just what it's gathering now. Sense 2.5 seems to bring in the photo, birthday, status, and album info. If it was just looking at fields in facebook it would just need to know to look at additional fields...

I found that after linking 1 contact I went through the buttons on the bottom. The contact button with the clock had the choice to link all with Facebook.
i go to 2nd contact tab. then click all people. then go to 4th tab. wait for a while. at the top part there.. it shud be showing 15 contact matched. and u can link all them at there.
but then, due to different last name / first name assign on ur phone n their facebook account, probably hardly got more than 20 facebook contact able to linked. i got myself 29 contacts only linked with my winmo by default match.
the rest i did it manually link n sync.
it remember ur link for latest manila 2.5 1921 version though. it saved the link and then u no nid to link another time even u flash / hardreset ur phone.
but for my xperia, rom isnt stable yet. sometimes it download contact display photo n sometimes it dun. but touch pro TAEL rom works great. it auto pull all the display photo for me.
once again, on 4th tab of 'HTC contact' application. u can see all facebook update.
in my HTC HD2 i have to update each contact photo and is very long to do....is there a way to update all contacts using a process like "bulk import" ?
thanks

facebook integration with winmo 6.5.3
is there a way to associate contacts with their facebook profiles in winmo 6.5.3. I know how to do it through the htc contacts...but ive looked at all the options in winmo contacts and i cant seem to find facebook integration.
thanks in advance
The ONLY thing I dont like about rooting is
I dont get the Stock HTC Facebook app that you can sync your contacts with their facebook pictures.
All the other Fbook apps on the market suck. Can anyone port it, make an app similar to that one, or anything?
I know you like 2.3... but if you are willing to use Froyo migueltherocker's GratiousSlide has the same facebook syncing with contacts.. and I was happy with it till my A.D.D lead me to the next 5 ROMs

Lol actually I opened the market and found an app that I can sync my contacts to pictures on fbook, just sort of like the stock contacts app.
The app is a replacement for your contacts but w/e. Ill just use that to sync all my contacts, and assign as main contact app the one with cyanogen
TA-DA!
I wouldn't mind checking that out, what is the program called?
It seems like it's been so long since I had stock. What am I missing here? The official Facebook app syncs its contacts with my own on the phone and imports pictures. The only thing I don't see is the link/unlink that sense has.

The stock Sense overlay, if I remember, by default synced all contacts photos linked to a FB account with their FB profile pic, and even gave you the option of which photo to sync with (FB/Google/manually set).
With vanilla, the FB app will sync contacts, but I am noticing that your Google account image will be the default image, and I do not see a way to make it switch to the FB picture.
You guys should download
"Contapp"
its really good, does the same thing as the original froyo app... its a contact replacement.. just dont set it as default and your done
Wohoo!
Now, is there anyway to make the caller ID pictures bigger?
Hi, after i got my new HTC One X (The old one had Display problem)
I can't find Facebook for HTC in Accounts & Synchronisation?!
Only the normal Facebook.
Setting the preferences back and Delete all accounts doesn't work.
How to get it back?
So completely stock and a hard reset done.
Firmware is 1.28??
to be honest no idea at the moment
In the friendsstream app....., is it there??
no worries about that.
since ICS, htc integrate (linked) their facebook for htc with original facebook app (katana).
just sign in and it will showing up on friendstream widget or app.
Pictures of some of my FB contacts don't show on People. Anything wrong I'm doing?

yes, but then when uploading a photo through gallery "share" with Facebook for HTC Sense the upload fails at 100% (every time).
on a probably unrelated note, installation of LinkedIn for HTC Sense from HTC Hub fails too

Most probably the contact is not completely sync the picture yet. It happens to mine too, after awhile the picture will appeared, no worry
Actually every since Sense 3.5, the Facebook For HTCSense is no where to be seen in the Account. Everything is done via official FB, but you still hv the function of uploading a picture via FB for HTCSense, and it works for me everything. Benefit of this is it allows you to tag ppl in picture but the official FB lack of this function
Kudos to HTC Sense

Same for me! I had to re-link some of my contacts manually...
It took at least 30mins.
Login and Passwords
In response to enyaj, may not help the OP.
Wow I have been having the same problem for some time now (FB for HTC Sense not linking up profile pics with contacts), and my wifes phone would always error on photo uploads) figured out that I changed the FB password awhile back to prevent a possible hacking video issue. If you change your password on FB and use FB for HTC Sense, you must go into: Menu> Settings> Acctounts & Sync. Then delete your FB for HTC Sense account. Then just add account (bottom of screen) FB for HTC Sense and login with the correct email and password. Bam all my contacts pictures sync'd with their FB profile pics, status updates and such are working also. Hope this helps.
I got the same issue .. and after googleing .. I found out that I have to unistall Facebook update ..delete my FB account from Account$Syncing in the settings .. and make a restart,, then add My FB again in Account&Syncing ..
