facbook link issue

Like most people, several of my contacts have been linked to my Facebook Friends. Then if I use PIM backup or My Phone after a flash and restore my contacts, the Facebook "link" is there, but it doesn't update the picture (the picture reverts back to whatever it was before the facebook link) and it doesn't update the status' or birthday's. I have even removed all the link's, and started over, but that doesn't work. I've tried everything i can think of, but can't figure this out... has anyone else run into this and have a working fix?

Yea, seems like this is a problem all over. When I try to link a contact to a facebook profile the list of profiles I am given to select from bears no relation to my actual list of friends. Most of my friends are on there but not all, some have pics & some don't, I have old FB contacts who I have since deleted & even have 1 guy I have never heard of & has never been on my friends list.
There is a hotfix on the htc website but tried to install it & it comes up with "this hotfix is not compatible with your device"
I've been trawling to try & find a fix but there doesn't seem to be one & very little mention of the TP2.
Anyone else have some input??

Smells like a ROM issue. Did you try with the official or a different cooked one?

Hi Jackos,
still on the original winmo 6.1 as I've got loads of software & really don't fancy having to reload everything.
Looking around it seems I'm not the only one with this kind of issue.

It gets worse.
This morning I tried again, logged out of facebook via my contact card & then went to log back in. I now get "connection failed" each time I try to connect.
FB is working fine on the app & via opera etc & I've got no probs with email etc so it's not data connection or signal.
This is def confined to HTC integration of FB bugt I can't use the hotfix they have posted because it claims it is not suitable for my device!!
Any help would be much appreciated.

Official T-Mobile Update (1.21.110.4) Available

Guys
Just to let you know that it seems T-Mobile has started rolling out updates officially. I checked the update option and I have an update pending...So whoever is with T-Mobile can start the update at their end.
It lists improvements to the phonebook and email application.
regards

Yeah grabbed it about half an hour ago. Seems that if you have data backup enabled, when it restores it has doubled up my text messages...

Yep exact same thing happened here !!!

Thanks for the headsup

I didn't bother restoring just cancelled it, still had all my user settings and messages.

So if I don't restore then it still keeps all my messages etc? And if I do restore, it will double up all my messages?

Please... PLEASE... Let there be an Orange update soon as well

If you want to backup your SMS Messages before you update, use this
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
It doesn't backup MMS messages though, just be warned. I use it everytime I flash a new ROM or change something...
Contacts are easier to back up, go into People, and choose Export/Import - then export to SD. Done!

Probably a stupid question, but where do you go to turn off restore?

i dont know if this is a silly question
but does anyone know what's new with this update?
all the update says is a better email client and a 'myphonebook' upgrade?
is there anything new to this?
a new radio etc?
i have downloaded the upgrade but can not install as battery is too low, currently charging..

Is it still possible to change to a generic rom after updating to this newest T-Mobile version? I ask because I'm only used to running custom firmware on PSPs, and I know with each iteration Sony tries to prevent downgrading - was just wondering if that's the case here too.
Is there a specific firmware I would be looking for, or is any unbranded 1.15.xxx.x eligible?
Thanks.

Well, the radio version has now been upgraded in this release. I havent seen any change to my reception due to the new radio ROM but its too early to say.
Also since this version was already out, it may just be worth it if any of the debranded HTC desire owners help tell (or point) us to whats changed.

Just installed the new update. I checked to see if there were any new htc widgets. Found 2 new ones "Profile" and "Ringtone". Haven't seen these mentioned are they new?

hmmm...i tried to run linpack to test the scores (wishfully thinking) that the numbers would have gone up. To my surprise I found the scores hovering in the 4MFLOPS mark when earlier it used to be close to 7. It could just be my phone but thought I mention in any case.

I just tried to check for updates for my desire (unrooted) and I saw that I can update to 1.21.405.2.
UPDATE:
It seems that the update is only available for the EU unbranded roms.
Changes reported:
- Updates bootloader to 0.80
- New radio image
- New youtube app with HQ option (1.6.20E).
- Fixed htc's weather widget (integrated into clock&weather widget) not knowing where you are (1.15.xxx just said the name of the country in some countries).
- SMS issue (from non-numerical senders) is resolved.
- fixed random contact showing when receiving operator SMS.
- fixes the voicemail bug for the French carrier SFR (short voicemail number used to call 911/emergency).
- Messages app now shows a count on the number of messages in the SMS inbox.
- calendar/contacts bug - unable to store contact's birthday - has been fixed.
- Long click on the menu button when in home screen now doesnt pop up the keyboard, like it uselessly did before.
- SMS reader does not show the little smiley androids any more - just the mere types.
- Exchange Company Address Book is now properly working. Was unable to use before the update.
- They have disabled the snooze function on the Optical trackpad for calendar events. This means that it is now possible to have the phone in your pocket without accidentally snoozing the alarms.
Known issues:
- OTA update on debranded/rooted roms resolves in wifi not working - debranded may be specific for orange.
- Doesnt fully charge for the first couple of times, probably a calibiration thing, it's ok after 3-5 charges.

did a bit of search and voila suppose its pretty much the same if not better than for the HTC original rom

ANSWERED - Facbook Contacts cannot sync.

Firstly, I'm running the rooted stock rom (OTA 1.45..). I don't know if this has been a problem SINCE I've rooted, as I don't go on facebook much, but, one of my friends, I just dded her on facebook the other day, and then noticed that it wouldn't let me link her fb account on her contact card because her fb account wasn't present in my contacts.
Anyways, whenever I try to refresh my facebook contacts, it takkes me back to the "online directories" screen with a message that says CONNECTION ERROR.
I can login to my fb just fine and things like my friendstream and the facebook app itself are ok, but, my contacts will not update at all.
Is there a file I'm supposed to flash, or what? Any help would be appreciated.

This has been discussed here and everywhere else
As of right now, their seems to be a problem with the Facebook servers. You can log into Facebook for HTC Sense fine, but it will show that you have "no friends". When you attempt to refresh, it will just load up and then exit out of the program with the "connection failed" error.

Sorry. I've seen discussions about it, but with so many different RoMs out, I wanted to make sure it was system wide rather than one or two in-particular. Thank you though.

weird, when I try to add facebook for sense to my accounts sync, it says warning the service is curently unavailable. do you want to try again? and never works.

Nothing new. It's been broken for over a week. It has nothing to do with being rooted.

This is the first I've heard of Facebook not working... mine has been working with no problems whatsoever. (and I'm constantly on it, refreshing all of the time) Maybe it's not as widespread as some people think?

Facebook for Android works.
Facebook for Sense is not working.
Two different things that people are getting confused. It has been down since last week. It has nothing to do with ROOT or NONROOTED phones, it has to do with Facebook's connection or server hence the "connection error" that is displayed when you try to refresh your contacts.

I'm going to take a look at logcat when I can but it doesn't seem to be a connection issue (at least with authentication). Deliberately enter the wrong password and you'll see.
An issue with Facebook none the less.

Exactly. You can log in successfully, but when it comes to getting your contacts between Facebook servers and your phone, it isn't working. Somewhere there is a disruption between the 2. Androidforums.com has been on this for a while and even the HTC.com forums have had people talking about it.
From what someone mentioned, this happened to the iPhone a few weeks ago and was successfully fixed ASAP...

Soooo, basically, we're just waiting for it to fix itself?
... ugh.

The problem seems to be fixed now. I just happened to open my people app, and pow! Facebook friends and contacts were updated. Pictures, updates, everything.

[q] ota 1.72.405.2

Just appeared on my phone (DZ). Does anyone know some details about this upgrade? Will permanant root and nand unlock possibility remain after applying it? Is there a changelist somewhere?

Always best to wait, don't jump into your doom

OTA 1.72.405.2 update is coming indeed. So how we will take it? Desire Z

Just updated my DZ, now runs Android 2.2.1.. To early to say anything about stability, battery consumption and radio quality, but the EXCHANGE 2010 ISSUES SEEMS TO BE FIXED!
Lost my perm-root though (didn't have S-OFF)... :/

I have the clockwork recovery so I can't update.
Does anyone has the zip package?

from htc twitter:
European Desire HD / Desire Z users – look out for an update rolling out from today that will make your mobile experience even better.

Works perfectly fine here. Updating took about 6-7 minutes here (including reboot)
Promised fixes are improved performance and camera improvements. Phone runs smooth, but I didn't notice any very big increase yet. Camera seems to be a tad faster, but that could have been caused by the reboot as well.

Don't install any OTA if you are rooted/S-OFF !
You will lose root and might not be able to get it back if HTC have tried to close the loopholes exploited via the current root/S-OFF methods.
Far better to wait until the devs have had a chance to check things out and make sure the update is rootable/S-OFFable.
If you don't care about root etc then this warning doesn't apply ,but I suspect the number of members this applies to is a minority.

Just to add, the RUU for this version is already in the dev forum, and we already know there are some issues with rooting it.

Urmm, are you referring to the Exchange issue where initial sync would work but then "sync protocol error" would occur after a few syncs?
Would be so awesome if that is fixed, interesting that in the last few days HTC support are telling me that they are still handling it as an issue on their side, and actually requested that I open a user for them on my Exchange server...
Downloading now.

Well, no dice, tried syncing exchange and getting "sync protocol error". might try to remove and re-add the account, but I tend to think it'll be a waste of time.
Duppsko, can you let me know what your Exchange issue was before, and what did you see fixed after?

Correct, I had the protocol sync issue, couldn't sync either calendar or contacts after a few syncs... also, sending e-mail and opening attachments didn't use to work..
When the DHD got this exchange-fix OTA earlier in november, users said that you have to delete the activesync partnership completely, and then readd your account.. that's what I did, and my issues are all gone!

Last night, my phone was fine. THis morning, I woke up and had no sound playing back through the phone... Thought I'd do an online update to see if that would fix it. Said there was an update, so went ahead and updated...
Now, I still have no sound, but also getting problems with the wi-fi. I try loading it and it says (for a split second) "Loading" then comes up with error...
I also tried watching a video, and get "unable to play this video".
Dunno whether it's an app I downloaded last night, or whether there might've been something else that caused it...
Tried doing a backup to factory reset, but cannot backup any of the application settings because I don't have root...
Hopefully someone will be able to get root back for this update so I can backup, and factory reset

OK, now sound is back working. Dunno why or how... But I still can't get the wifi to work... Having read around on the net, have heard of people who have had problems when updating with ota updates on htc when rooted. So could this be the problem?! I hadn't even thought about the rooting at the time of update... D'oh...
Hopefully can resolve this asap

Its too tempting for me having that little download notification.
I have perm-root and s-off (but not radio... the fake version).
Would love to know what will happen...
Also is there a changelog?

1. What exchange fix did the dhd users get? Many of the recent complaints about this problem are still coming from dhd users...
2. When you say delete the partership you mean from the exchange server or do you mean removing the account from the device? The first option got the sync working for me for a couple of days and died again (last week, before the ota upgrade). But should I try deleting the partnership and/or readd the account on my phone now, after the ota upgrade?

I did the OTA update without realising i would lose root.. and now SetCPU doesn't work (it's the only app i use root for).
From what i gather, there is no easy solution, yet? VisionaryR12 says i already have root..

I have started a new thread in the dev forum about rooting progress on this new ROM. Please check that thread for update info (but don't just post in there "When will we get root ?", because it's a thread to talk about the dev stuff).

Sorry that I didn't specify this, I just removed the account from the device (thus deleting all existing contacts, e-mails etc.) and then readded the account. As you say, just deleting the partnership from the exchange server (in OWA) doesn't work, I've tried that before this OTA was released with no luck... I'm pretty sure that you HAVE to delete the account on your device to make this work, however, it doesn't hurt to delete both account on the device AND partnership in OWA...
Edit: My god, it is now possible to use "search server" from within the mail client (select folder, and press the search "hw-key", and then select search server)... Best christmas present ever!

After full restore Play Store does not auto push apps

I recently restored, locked, and went completely stock again to test out a few things and I have realized that the device no longer automatically sends my apps to the phone as it previously did. Is there a setting in the account im missing or anything I can do? Its a pain to have to go download all of them one by one

Yeah, i have this problem aswell.. Anybody knows what's up?

Dude.. ya think that most people don't know that?
I have the same problem. Did a clean wipe and fresh flash today, and suddenly Google Play is not syncing my apps anymore. Does fine with the contacts and everything, just not Google Play. Note: this is on a Galaxy S2, not a Nexus, but I figured it would be good to know for everyone that this does not appear to be a Nexus issue, but a Play issue.

I've noticed it depends on what Rom you use. When I was on the more stock roms it always did it but now that I'm running aokp it doesn't.

My C2P stopped working too. I switched to Chrome2Mobile (I think is what it's called) extention on my desktop, it works again and that ext lets me send links to my iPad too.

i only ever remember this working with gingerbread on my ns4g. from ics on, the restore feature has only been good for wallpaper and wifi passwords

I found a potential fix
I want to preface this by saying I wasn't having the same problem as you all are having when I log back into my google account after flashing my apps start downloading. My issue is that after it started I ended up in area without service(subway) and then half of my apps failed. I didn't feel like clicking each and re downloading them. The only thing I could think of was signing out of my google account which supposedly wipes your info and then signing back in to restart the sync and it worked for me so try it out and let me know if it works for you all. If it does please Thank this is only like my 2nd post here.
