Facebook for Android (not sense fb) - sync to contacts

so i deleted friendstream and what not so i can't use the fb that's integrated into sense to update my contacts with fb.. is there any way to do this with the facebook for android app from the market? I remember on my moto droid I could, but it doesn't seem like I have that option int he people app on my DInc.. anyone?

you can try socialite, I think it is in the market, if not you can find it in the interwebs, that and htc sense are the only ways I know of to syn FB contacts.

I think that it has to do with the android version of FB available from the market using the INC. I agree that on my motoDroid I had no problems syncing contacts, and I can guarantee there was no sense running on that

There's some sort of bug... Facebook shows up in Accounts & sync when you click Add Account, but when you select it there's an error or two in logcat and you're kicked back a screen.
If you look at the app's permissions, it IS allowed to read/write contact data, as well as sync settings. It just doesn't work at the moment.

Has anyone managed to figure this out? I'm a bit OCD about my contact pictures :-(

im OCD too, which is why thats one area id never want removed, i understand its to cleanup the phone and all but maybe its better to keep things plugged in so that everything can work and then move on removing things systematically from there. I admit im no programmer at all so i dont know where to ever begin but mi just giving a basic train of thought that id follow.

Afaik, you need Friendstream and Facebook for sense to have contacts sync.
I had to install both again, with the obex for each, to get this working on a custom rom.
There are a couple of ways to sync fb contacts to google contacts, but I haven't tried any of them. Use google to find them. After that you can keep the pictures synced with an app called "syncmypix"

You shouldn't need Friendstream to sync contacts (see Moto Droid). The native Twitter app integrated just fine despite Peep being installed. The Facebook app is poorly written so it doesn't sync on the Droid Incredible. This might be because Friendstream is 'supposed' to do it, so native syncing is disabled? Editing build.prop and a few other files is necessary to create a friendly environment... but it'd be easier if Facebook just fixed their apk.
Syncmypix looks like a nice stop-gap for now though

if you just need contact pics from facebook..not updates or profiles linked...use facebook sync. its an app in the market, not affliliated with Facebook, so it works perfectly. used on my stock incredible and now on my 2.2 rom rooted incredible.

oddly enough, i actually am a programmer, haha.. but I agreet hat sometimes it's better to keep things installed if they're working.. problem was, friendstream wasn't working.. I removed it and fb because I was getting the bg fc's from the friendstream sync issue and got sick of having to re-setup my fb every time..

LinkedIn and Picasa add-ons for Sense

Did any of you receive yesterday some notifications from HTC Hub (two green HTC icons) that some widgets and addons are available?
After I tapped the notifications, I couldn't find any new HTC widgets, but I landed on a page with the choice to download Picasa and LinkedIn for Sense. I tried to install LinkedIn, it all seemed fine, but no changes to were made to Sense. I guess the installation failed. I was kicked out of that add-on page too.
Afterwards, I couldn't find those two add-ons anymore in HTC Hub. Anyone else experienced this? Can I still install those two in any way, or should we just wait for HTC to publish them again?

Linkedin should reflect in the contacts and FriendStream. Picasa is supposed to be in the gallery but it seems to be not working.
Try clearing the HTC hub app data and cache then resync. The notifications should appear again.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

it seems that both plugins are now in "HTC Likes", but again I can't manage to install Picasa Web Album.

I'll try cleaning the data and resync. But those apps didn't appear in HTC Likes for me yet, I only have the 4-5 HTC widgets that were there from the beginning (and other apps from other providers).

Have exactly the same problem. LinkedIn installation failed in middle, had to remove it later one hence it was reporting status like "not installed, or missing files". Picasa one was not possible to download at all.
Now I can't find any of those. Will try to check the HTCLike and let you know if that works.
Tried, no success. The plugins are there, but nothing happens. Try to cleaned the cache as well.
Was anyone successfull installing at least one of those?

I was able to install "LinkedIn for HTC Sense".
- LinkedIn contacts sync-ed in People app
- LinkedIn updates in FriendStream
- Post updates to LinkedIn via FriendStream
For "Picasa Web Album", I raised a ticket to HTC. I got a stupid response:
--- start
Dear [...],
Picasa Web Albums is not from HTC and there maybe some problems with its server. We would advise you wait patiently for the server back to work again.
Regards,
HTC
--- end
A real "nonSense".

Having the same picasa issue here as well.

After the system update I have both plug-ins installed and working. I don't remember if I actually installed them myself or they were already there.

Very excited by the LinkedIn feed in Friendstream! We don't yet have a robust LinkedIn app (beta version is a first step, but it's very basic and DroidIn UI is a bit fugly) so this is perfect.

Same problem
I have the same issues as darthmelk had before the update. Now, after installing the update, the problem still exists. Anyone else? And any ideas how to fix this?

[Q] Deleting pre installed applications

I see that this topic has been created in other forums, like HTC vox, omnia II general. But since I am new to this I am not sure if the same answer holds true for my phone (Tmobile G2, Desire Z?)
The perpetrators I would like to remove are:
Amazon MP3
Google Finance
Latitutde
Shopper
News and weather
Google earth (why is it there if the phone has google maps)
Google Goggles
Photobucket
Facebook
Twitter
So is the only way to do this is to root the phone? If I root the phone will I have other apps remainng like google voice commands, and can I go back to origional OS?
Thanks in advance

without root you can't remove them, however, you can dis-able them. They wouldn't show up in your app drawer and they won't run, but they'll technically still be installed. There is a thread about it in the dev forums. I can't post links or else I'd find it

would rooting delete all the other apps as well???

Problem with Facebook/FriendStream - ARHD 2.1

Morning,
Using ARHD 2.1, working brilliantly bar one small thing.. I would normally ask on the thread but it seems its a little heated in there with people desperately waiting for v3.0...
My Facebook sync doesn't seem to like syncing up any more. I tried flashing to LeeDroid 2.2.3, then tried Buzz 1.3.5 but no luck. When it does sync up, my FriendStream widget says 'no recent updates', my Handsent messaging also doesn't put Facebook names to numbers. So Im guessing the Facebook link or update function is buggy?
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks for reading!

I think this was reported in the news recently.
Google has withdrawn its support for Facebook, this is due to Facebook being able to collect loads of data about you via a Google API. But Facebook does not allow the opposite, as no API exists.
Where I read this mentioned that it was likely only to affect the Nexus S at first, due to it having the latest Android version.

Ohh... sad times.. Thanks for reply.

Anyone running rooted stock figure out new Google calendar?

Along with the release of Lollipop today, Google released an improved version of their calendar app. The improvements are long overdue, and I was excited to install it, remove the htc calendar widget, and use Google's.
However, in the Play store on the calendar page, it lists numerous issues with HTC devices. I imagine though these are all software related though...and I am wondering who has tinkered with this yet and has figured out how to get calendar to utilize all the new features... I started by disabling the HTC calendar widget, and am now trying to disable the HTC calendar itself.
Add any comment below. Perhaps collectively, we can figure out how to get it to work.
