Hello all,
i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.
now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.
the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.
Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.
TIA
Luke.

How to?
If I choose to install a ROM without Sense I can't able to sync contacts and calendar events with Outlook.
I've a lot of contacts and also a lot of calendar events so this kind of ROM is not usable for me, unfortunately.
I tried android sync but it doesn't work as good as expected... maybe in the future it'll be better.
How do you do?
wrong section but it think it should work......

About section maybe you're right but it's where I found as many as non-sense roms.
What do you think it should work?
IS SHOULD, anyone?
Right, HTC Sync performs the Outlook<->Android contact/calendar sync and this is not available on non-Sense ROMs.
I don't know of a good free contact sync application for Outlook, but Google Calendar Sync will synchronise the calendar between Google and Outlook.
I've noticed that certain "advanced" recurring appointments that can't normally be entered in to Google calendar (e.g. "last day of month") will synchronise with Google Calendar and look fine, but then will _not_ synchronise correctly to the Android Calendar -- it ends up showing the recurring appointment on every day.
Simpler recurring appointments (e.g. "every Friday") work fine.
Personally, I'm just wondering what to do about these issues myself. I'd like to move to Google Calendar / Contacts, but the lack of advanced recurrences is a limitation for me.
I'm also looking at moving from Outlook to Thunderbird/Lightning, which have plugins for Google calendar and Google contact sync. Neither seems perfect though and Lightning still sees the issue with advanced recurrences. Perhaps it's an issue with Google Calendar instead of the Android Calendar / Lightning.
I can't use Thunderbird... but only Outlook because I use it for my job. Also I use a lot calendar (2 or 3 appointments/day) and have >1k contacts growing day by day for my job..
I think all other ways to do sync are less nice/suitable than HTC Sync software...
Do all other devices (non-HTC) has sync problems?? How they do??
Is possible to add Sense's sync features to non-sense roms?
up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also have a android ROM without HTC Sense and noticed the problem getting the calendar to sync. Is it possible to install just HTC Sense, or do i have to flash to a ROM with Sense on it?
another way would be desire funambol client <-> funambol server <-> whatever (kde,outlook,...)
Im currently running MikG 2.2 on my evo and all the dates for my FB contacts are off bye one. For example, my wifes B-day is Nov. 17 but FB for HTC Sense shows NOV. 16. Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Has anyone found a fix?
That's strange for sure, I've never had that issue before. I would try removing your HTC Sense Facebook username completely and then logging back into it and let it re-sync. You may want to log out of the Facebook For Android application too if you have it installed.
On another note, if you don't have it installed, try logging out of the HTC Sense for Facebook and downloading the Facebook for Android app from the market and logging it. It should sync up fine.
I am on Sense, but never use HTC Sense Facebook, just the Facebook for Android from the market. I know a lot of people aren't fond of it, but I don't have any issues with it, I think it's fine.
Thanks. The FB app from the market works fine. It's just one of those little things that annoys me.
having the FB app and FB HTC Sense syncing at the same will give you issues..
that's why I turned off FB HTC Sense and only have FB app running..
I've found that quite a few people are having the same issue as me and it seems to be on the HTC side. I like this better than the Facebook app from market because pictures have better resolution and the sense FB also syncs the last post from all of my FB contacts to the people app and dialer. I know syncing both causes issues, i've done allot of research and tried numerous fixes and was just wondering if anyone found a fix for the FB for sense yet.
Hey everyone.
I have install facebook for android few months ago. After that i notice that my People's contact pic does not sync with facebook pic anymore. is there anyway to sync back the pic on update?
I did try edit the contact, select the pic and select facebook for htc sense.
That doesn't works.
Under watchdog app, i still see Facebook for HTC Sense but i can't launch the app.
go to
settings---accounts and sync----sync htc sense facebook....
or switch on auto update.......
hi
That didn't work.
as i mention, i accidentally install "facebook for android"
so currently it mess up with the htc sense facebook.
all profile pic for "people" will not update.
Is there anyway to install back the old "Facebook for htc sense"?
i have facebook for android but i also have htc facebook...........
installing facebook for android willnot affect the htc sense facebook....
apparently i found the solution
remove account in the sync and add back.
The HTC syncing with Facebook and Sense Facebook is not the best system, but neither are any of the others, generally if you are having issues with profile photos, an application I would recommend on the top of my head is called SyncPic which is very good and automatically downloads the profile photos of Facebook only, not with other networking websites...but give a crack if you are still having issues...

Anyway to sync conyacts with fb
I did not know this before buying
You can try third party contact apps like GoContacts. IIRC, those apps sync contacts to facebook, as long as the contact name is the same they use in Facebook
stock roms can only sync with Facebook with motoblur. CM7 works fine once Facebook application is installed.
so the only solution is to use other contact apps
Hi,
Does Cyanogenmod 10 sync twitter/facebook contacts?
In my One X contact sync is enabled for Facebook, google, whatsapp and linkedin, but no for twitter. In Settings > account > twitter sync is enabled.
EDIT: I was wrong about Facebook contact sync. Even though its listed under the accounts to display contacts from, its empty, no contacts are shown. But in case of twitter its not even listed under the accounts to display contacts from.
AFAIK you need a 3rd party app (in HTC Sense they use Facebook for HTC Sense and Twitter for HTC Sense to sync)
You should try FriendCaster Pro or HaxSync from Play Store (which is not free)

I was wondering how it was working on sense ROM's. So HTC apps are the magic ingredients there. I hope Twitter ad Facebook fixes this in near future.
Hi,
I have purchased HaxSync back in ICS for bigger facebook covers photos on my ARHD. I wanna try CM10 Nightlies, but I'm not sure whether it will sync my contacts' facebook photos.
Can anyone clarify this?
Or is there another contacts app that can provide same thing (with or without HaxSync)?
Thanks,
It will sync the FB contacts and photos both.
