Just got my incredible, I don't remember if the contacts were synched at first, but right now it doesnt link to facebook (I'm logged into facebook and the widget works though)
So my contacts dont have the usual facebook display pictures on their contact cards, running 2.2 (came stock on my phone), unrevoked3 applied
I deleted some htc apps like stocks and friendstream, might I have deleted a service I needed by mistake? And if so, is anyone kind enough to host the apk for it? thanks
PS I checked the accounts to sync under settings, and facebook isn't among the list/options, only my gmail and a few other accounts are listed
Friendstream is definitely needed to have any contacts linked with corresponding Facebook info.
There is a thread somewhere that states you can delete the friendstream widget .apk, but can't delete the friendstream.apk itself or that will destroy syncing.

Hi,
I recently started using the HTC contacts widget and already hit trouble.
I did a search for anything related to "contacts" and "widget" but I found no threads describing this problem.
- I have all my contacts stored as Google contacts (with photos). Some of my contacts have their facebook account linked to them.
- Photos I selected for ALL my contacts are Google photos.
- I created a new group (called Speed Dial) and included all the people I wanted to show in the contacts widget.
And now for the problem... I added about 10 people to the widget, some of them have a facebook account linked some of them don't. When I first added them all the appropriate Google photos were shown (although they were blurry but I could live with that).
However, anytime I sync my contacts or restart the phone ALL the photos are reset to Facebook photos. Not only for the contacts included in contacts widget but for ALL contacts that have a facebook account linked to them.
Is this a bug, a feature or just me being stupid and missing some fundamentals?
Does anyone have a tip or an advice?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: If this is just another buggy HTC widget then I have one more question
Is there a nice, good looking contacts widget for Desire? What do you guys use?
I've experienced the same and would prefer the photo I choose to appear instead of the facebook one. A friend of mine has his cat as his facebook contact photo and this keeps coming up on my phone. If anyone has some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
Facebook sync question. I have searched.
On a Sense Rom Facebook syncs all the latest Facebook pictures to my contacts just fine. Also on an AOSP Rom Facebook will sync all the contact pictures just fine. BuT... When I use the Launcher Pro people widget the widget will not sync the pictures. If I use the Sense people widget the pictures sync just fine. I have set up the the Launcher Pro to sync with Facebook and the Friends Widget works great.
Any ideas?

I don't think the people widget in lp has anything to do with Facebook. Set up Facebook for HTC sense under accounts in settings to sync as little as possible, and that should sync up your fb contact pics.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Edit - I just reread your post, and I think I completely missed what your issue was. If the pics are already synced, I don't know why the people widget isn't showing them, or even if its supposed to.
it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work, at least on mine. or, at least the last time i used it it did. i've been using adw for about 2 weeks now, so i don't remember exactly
anyhoo,
sync your facebook contacts, then start the widget. or, if you already have the widget up after a facebook sync, try using the refresh option on the widget. that should work for at least some of your contacts. not sure why it doesn't work for all of them...
does anyone know how to make the people widget behave like the sense people widget(when pressing on a contact to direct call him)?
Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?
Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?
Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!
When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?
no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.
Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~
hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps
Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..
I started to notice that the old messages in my facebook for sense widget were never getting removed. I deleted all of the caches that I could but it seems like only the icons are removed but not the messages. Twitter for sense and the rss news sense widgets both work as expected when clearing the cache....but not facebook for sense. When I removed and re-added my facebook for sense account, I got like 7 megs back of internal memory and now I can scroll down to the bottom of the facebook widget without having to scroll forever.
You say Facebook widget.. do you mean the Friendstream widget? It is known to have bugs in early FroYo builds but I have never used it myself to help you out with it..
If you mean the Facebook Sense tab inside the contacts screen then I can provide some info..
Go to Accounts & Sync and then click on Facebook for HTC Sense and select Remove account.. Then go to Manage Apps and find Facebook for HTC Sense.. Force stop it then clear data and cache.. Then reboot your phone and re-add the Facebook account on the HTC service and everything should be fine.. Tell me how it went..
yes, I meant the friend stream widget in sense. I have done what you said and it seems much better now, but I wonder if the cache of facebook messages is going to build up again. I shouldn't have to remove the facebook account every time I want to clear all the messages in the friend stream widget.
as the title says i really like miui but i hates the contacts app and caqlendars because i can't link facebook contacts with google and whatsapp so i foundlots of duplicates (really annoying!) and i want to sync facebook calendar with phone calendar like on htc sense...
can i use that apks or they won't works? if yes, where can i found them?
