Hey,
does anybody know how to keep facebook contacts selected?
I am using the original contact-app of HTC and everytime Facebook is syncing contacts it removes the checkmark for the facebook contacts.
So I have to select in manually everytime, its very annoying.
Does anybody know about this problem?
I had to do a wipe of the phone ealier, and i've set up my facebook account as usual, But for the life of me when I click contacts and then where I should be able to link them, I press facebook and it asks me to search, it sees nothing, I have logged out and back in, Tried manually syncing the facebook account and nothing
Help?
Stock Sense Rom, Not rooted.
Me Too
I updated my rom and now cant sync my Facebook contacts. I can use the stand alone facebook app without any problems, but it will not let me add the facebook account to my phone, everytime i try it says "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
So I cant use any of the build in facebook stuff like friendstream or contact sync updates.
This sucks, bigtime, hope froyo upto will fix this.
I never had any problems with it ever untill today when I had tk wipe do to free space errors

Yes, I'm Facing the same thing as well !!
I am starting to think its more of a fb issue rather than the device...
anyone else can confirm? any official statement by HTC? and by when will it be fixed?
Cheers

I have EXACTLY the same issue - I flashed a new ROM yesterday (unbranded stock) and facebook doesn't show a single contact... Any ideas?
I was talkink with the german HTC Support.
They told me to hardreset my desire (again) and try to just setup WiFi and "Facebook for HTC Sensse"
After the sync i did not have any Facebookcontact in "Contacts" (need to make them visible: contacts --> Menu -> Show --> Facebook (0))
That (0) indicates that the contacts are not synced.
In addition when I manually sync "Facebook for HTC Sense", the live-feed takes a couple of seconds, Contacts takes less than 1 second.
i use the official, nonrooted htc "2.1-update1" rom (1.21.405 CL174215 release-keys)
Any better Idea?
One observation:
When I go
People -> Online directories -> Facebook -> Menu -> Refresh
I get a "connection error" instead of a successful sync - now if I would only know why!
I just tried that and i got xonnectiln error, intrestingly when i updated my profile it worked... but still not friends

Same here
If I then go to Menu --> Own profile I do see my profile
If I to there to "Refresh" it comes (translated from German) "We are Sorry. the Application Faebook for HTC Sense (Prozess com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) was closed unexpected. Retry again.
HTC was answering. They sent me a manual how to reinstall HTC Sync...

I can confirm that - profile and wall works - sync contacts doesn't.
I have the same problem since yesterday.
So it's because of Facebook?
Hmmm..
I'm having the same problem.
I had to unroot my Desire as it would not let me upgrade to official 1.21 (Danish rom) and after unrooting and updating, facebook friends cannot be read or sync'ed.
Friendsstream and everything else is working perfectly, just not linking and facebook contacts.
I too get the Connection Error upon trying...
I think it is a FB issue - darned!
I was again talking to HTC Support and giving all Hints.
We also tried via Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, FB for HTC Sense --> Delete temp files
It went now to 3.levelsupport.
...and?

I don't see how it would work, HTC Sync has nothing to do with Facebook contacts...
No, of course it did not work. HTC Sync is to sync from Outlook to Desire (or whatever)
Seems as they have same problem with Legend
Hi, I got the same problem since yesterday. I tried to unlink the facebook sense and re-link it in order to update my friends' profile pic in my contact. I can't even sync with my PC (HTC sync) now. Friend stream also not work. Please help~~

Its not the same problem - Friendsstream, HTC Sync and everything BUT Facebook Friends syncronization seems fine...
This is still going on? I havent been able to sync my FB contacts for a few days.. it says " Service is unavailable would you like to try again?"
hi guys,
i'm having an issue with my Desire.
despite having all 'auto sync' options unchecked, everytime i connect to a WIFi network my google contacts start to sync. i don't want this to happen.
when i go Accounts & Sync - and click 'google' under 'manage accounts', all i have is a list of three items within my google account :
1. sync contacts
2. sync gmail
3. synch calendar
and at the bottom of the screen i have two buttons:
1. sync now
2. remove account
i have no checkboxes next to any options. is there someplace else where there would be an Auto Sync setup?
i'm running android 2.2.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
ronan
ps. may it be the case that google automatically does it automatically initially, on a new phone? it only syncs after i've cleared my contacts and cache.
Hi,
I've got an issue, not a massive one but it bugs me nonetheless.
Currently, when I tap the Phone button from the home screen it brings up a list which shows my recent call list, if I scroll down I get a long list of all my contacts. The thing I find annoying is that the long list includes all of my Facebook "friends" that have a telephone number listed.
What I would like is for this list to only contain my contacts (copied over from my SIM), and for the ones that are linked to a Facebook account, to have their status etc updated. I do not want my random Facebook "friends" to be in the list.
The most recent thing I've done to try and solve this issue is to go into the Facebook app on the phone and change the 'Sync Contacts' settings (Menu-> Settings) to 'Don't sync'. I then went into (phone) Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications-> All (tab)-> Contacts storage-> Clear Data. I then copied my contacts back over from the SIM. (I've also tried the 'Sync with existing contacts' option as well)
All was well for a while, my contacts linked up again and I got facebook details for my contacts when calling them. However I noticed to my annoyance that my Phone list now contains my facebook contacts again!
I notice under Settings->Accounts and Sync I have two (removable) Facebook accounts, one is Facebook, the other is Facebook for HTC Sense. Does anyone know if it would help to remove either of these accounts?
Can anyone help me find a way to solve this issue (preferably without extra software or going through the People menu)?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Grim.
I just fixed this myself.
I think it's something to do with how HTC Facebook interacts with official Facebook. If I turned of syncing on both (but left contact sync disabled in both) I'd still get contacts in Phone (and also in suggestions in sms app). If I removed both, then added Facebook official only I'd still get them.
In the end, opening up Facebook on my PC and going into privacy then apps and disabling Facebook for HTC Sense seemed to solve it to me. I could then use the official Facebook app without getting all these contacts I'd never use.
I didn't care about getting contact pictures and stuff so I never tried letting official Facebook sync with existing contacts only, but it might work properly.
Hope this helps, completely unscientific but it seemed to for me!

Hi JBrizz thanks for your reply.
I didn't think of logging into the facebook website to disable anything. I'll give that a try.
In the meantime I've fiddled about with the accounts in 'Accounts and Sync'. I've tried deleting both the Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense accounts.
After deleting both I went into the Facebook app and signed in, which recreates the account in Accounts and Sync. I set the sync options in the app to not sync any contacts. I waited around for a while and no extra contacts (from Facebook) appeared in my Phone list.
I then went into the Facebook app and changed the sync settings to 'sync with existing contacts' - which I assumed should only sync the data for the people currently in my phone book? Anyway after a few minutes I checked an all of my Facebook friends were now in my Phone list AGAIN
I started from fresh again and tried a similar thing with the other Facebook for HTC Sense account - I had to recreate this in the Accounts and Sync settings screen.
Again after a few minutes all my Facebook friends where there on my Phone list
Maybe this functionality isn't available with this phone / app?
Anyone else have any ideas?
It is a google problem, not a HTC problem.
The HTC app is doing what it should be doing. If you go to the people app, click on your contact (far left) and then menu -> view you can see the facebook option is unchecked.
However the Phone dialer (google product) just syncs everything.
There is a issue no for this, 10618 @

(unfortunately I can't post links as I am a newbie!!)
Best thing to do is you guys reply and make this defect more and more noticeable.
I've posted on the google issue site, cheers for the link!
Has anyone having the issue where facebook for android is unable to sync with phone contact anymore after the htc desire official update to gingerbread?
Also, the facebook account that appears under Settings>Accounts and Sync is unable to be added to sync automatically!
Anyone knows any fix to this issue?
