Hi guys!
Hope we're all enjoying the Desire, I know I am!
One (on the small list) of niggles though is the facebook statuses coming up on the contact/"people" list. Is there anyway of turning this off but maintaining the connection to facebook?
Or now that the contacts and details are on my phone, if I turn off the link and get rid of the status, will the contacts disappear from my phone next time it tries and syncs? But then I loose the photos and have to input them manually. Rubbish!
Any ideas please?!
Normally I'm lurker because I don't know enough about Android yet to help out. And I don't normally have to post because I search though the threads. But I cant find that anyone has asked this question before.
Thank you in advance.
ps. What does OTA stand for (Rom related)?
OTA - Over The Air
That's one mystery solved! Thanks!

Hi guys
I've written to HTC about the fact that the news widget doesn't update automatically and about the fact that the facebook profile pictures on your contacts doesn't also, but they've told me it must be something wrong with my phone as they've had no other complaints.
Looking on this website though suggests otherwise, so if you encounter this problem, pls leave your thoughts on here so that I can reply back with the link saying it's not an isolated incedent.
Cheers
I have the same problem, they just can't be bothered to check lol

I knew I wasn't the only one so the more people we have on this thread say they have the same problem, hopefully this'll get them to move their arse and get it fixed!
I have the problem with the News widget also.

My facebook contact photos don't update either. I've tried deleting their facebook account from their contact, then added them again, but even then it just goes back to the old photo, even though the facebook profile I've added has a completely different photo.
no, the news widget doesn't update. there have been a few threads about it already.
also, I emailed them about it myself and I'm sure I'm not the only one so it's strange that they would say they're not aware of it. I guess people aren't passing the message along...
I don't use the HTC News widget but the Facebook pictures not updating is bugging me.
I'm going to write an email to HTC support right now (along with some other bugs and problems).
Before you do that, search this forum for the threads about the issue and provide links in your email, so they know it's widespread.
Maybe part of the problem is that we're all in different parts of the world and emailing our local HTC support.
If one branch isn't receiving a lot of complaints about it, they might not communicate it to the central support team.

Will do. Though I have to wait a few more minutes until my Desire is charged. I need to check my serial number before I send anything
I've had the issue with the Facebook photos too. Removing the facebook sync then readding it worked, but the OTA update I had from TMobile the other night reinstated some old pictures that aren't even current on Facebook???
These are the issues I am personally experiencing right now (included some links to threads to show I am not alone):

EDIT:
HTC mail widget does not refresh the email list when a new email is received. The email application itself needs to be opened in order to refresh the email list.
I know some of them are either well known or maybe not 100% HTC's fault but I just want to let them know (or remind them) that these problems still exist.
Otherwise they won't fix anything without proper feedback.
I might have forgotten some of the issues so if someone has a problem and my Desire does suffer from it I can add it to my list.
When listening to the FM radio and a text message comes in, the radio is muted to allow the alert sound to play but the radio then remains muted (even if closed down and restarted). Only a soft reset fixes problem.
News widget not updating automatically.
I will try to reproduce the FM radio problem. If it really behaves this way I will add it to the list.
The HTC News widget will be added as well - I can confirm this already.
Thanks for the input so far. I am still compiling the list so feel free to add some more issues.
Is there much point considering we will be getting FroYo in 13 days?

Will we? So far I haven't heard anything official about Froyo on Desire. It can take several months until HTC decides to release it.
Until then I would like to have these issues resolved as they are quite annoying and in some cases just plain stupid.
I know some of them may be irrelevant or not so important for others but for a device of such caliber I expected better and more reliable functionality.
And I would like to let HTC know about it...
Have you read this:

You are posting a duplicated post, and the best you can do is add your problems to the other post since is sticky and have been here for a very long time now!
But if you want to send these "bugs" to HTC i'm with you - be sure to also add the ones that are on the post i referred since there are many more...
What about the pink screen ?:

I would like to know why HTC made so phones with sense can't connect to some bluetooth-devices f.ex. wii motes.
Whay don't HTC Come take a look at the XDA Forums thread.... If they took a look at all the problems that people are posting here, then there would be plenty of updates to come

My Desire doesn't vibrate when receiving a text but vibrates for everything else.
Hi, there is/are xda threads about that already, which personally I am experiencing too; shut down takes 10-15 mins or even longer. Don't know if any app/s cause this matter or a bug in Desire, but as said this is a common concern.

* some contacts which are connected with one or more facebook accounts and/or gmail contacts change their names randomly (e.g. i set a contact to use FB name and next time i get there it's using email address)
* when I receive an sms from a web gateway, e.g. from vodafone, in the messaging app the phone puts in a thread with a facebook account which has no phone number (a blank one, created by the phone itself and that I can't seem to be able to delete)
* alarm doesn't ring if phone is off
hey man why don't you tell them to make an option to save the images taken by camera as dates instead of image# (number)
i copy my images into folders and everytime i take new images i need to rename them before moving them along or i will have filename conflict because my camera everytime starts from the same numbers...if the name was according to date they would be sorted as i want them and no problem moving them around too.
low res contact pics... a fix would be great
Hey,..
You know the icon you get in your notification bar when the phone found a link between facebook contacts and phone contacts and whatsapp contacts ect.,
Then you click link it or dismiss.
I like this and works well.
but the last couple of day its been failing and annoying me.
there are 4 contacts its keep asking me to link.
over and over again.
doesnt matter if i link or dismiss.
i went tot the user in my phone list and linked them, seems to be good.
and then some time later it asks me again..
everytime the same 4.
Anyone else have this or know what this might be?
Its really really really annoying!
Thanx m8's!
On my phone I notice it appears briefly then goes away again a second later, like it's loading the info. It's never really bothered me though.
Have you tried deleting the 4 contacts and then adding them again?
I had the same problem for weeks...I had o2 listed in my contacts with various numbers (customer services, top up, overseas cs etc etc)
bugged me so much as no matter what i did, dismiss or request link it would keep coming back listing the same contact multiple times...ended up deleting the contact and not replacing ...didnt happen again ..
same here... whatsapp repetatively notifies me of contact links although they are already linked and there - drives me nuts. what should I delete? the contact on the phone or the contact on whatsapp ??!?

I got a new LT15A device sent to me after the other one was deemed defective. I've almost got it back up to where I like it, but realize that the contacts are all cloud-based (either in google, facebook or twitter) I used to have the profile pic link with the contact on my phone, but now it doesn't seem to work. I only get the twitter pic & pictures that I linked directly on the phone. I'm hoping I don't have to do that for the rest of the contacts! Any help here would be appreciated. I'd prefer to leave the contacts off the phone if that option exists.
Thanks in advance.
answered in your second thread.
Hi mates,
A couple of weeks ago my JB GN started to slow show my contact list, I don't have that much of contacts, im syncing LinkedIn, Google contacts and an exchange account (which only works when I'm on the job wireless network), and even then my contacts takes up to 5 seconds to display the info, is there any tweak I should do to improve this? -or any other procedure-, this is really annoying for me to deal with.
Thanks in advance.
I'd very much appreciate if there's something anyone can contribute to help me solve my problem.
I don't think I'm the only one suffering from this.
Thanks
