Hi,
today I got a notification from HTC Hub indicating that there were 2 new plugins for HTC Sense which are LinkedIn and Picasa.
I chose both to install, LinkedIn installed and I can see it and its nice. However, Picasa downloads but didn't install. Tried again as the notification still were there, but same thing happend again, downloads but never installs. Then the notification vanished!
I tried to find the Picasa Album plugin on HTC hub on both phone and HTCSense.com but never found it!!
Anybody experienced the same?
Does anybody know where HTC Hub downloads the files? I might find Picasa for HTC Sense file there and install it manually.
It would be nice to have the Picasa Album plugin so I do not need any third party app.
Noticed the exact same thing... got linked in but no picasa, and would have prefered to get picasa over linked in.
Yeah i had the same problem, i had two notifications one for the linkedIn and Picasa plug-ins and one for a new widget. I chose to install Picasa as the other two didn't interest me but it never installed and doesn't show up in the gallery as an option. I can't figure out how to get back to that plug-in choice section to try and download it again either
Although sometimes when i go to the HTC hub it shows up briefly saying 'failed to connect to server, try again later' but things still seem to load. Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Hopefully they just pulled it and will have it available again soon
I downloaded the Linkedin app. Now it says "application not found" !!
had the same thing first i thought I downloaded both of them and then LinkedIn only show up in "Account & Sync" whereas Picasa is no where to be found.
also the update notification shows up randomly.
Same thing goes to the "Market" I was on the new Market UI at some point then it jumped back to the normal one
I downloaded the linked, I can see it in my manage apps, but it is not in my app drawer. I cannot open it. I wish HTC would provide some support here!
So I am not the only one facing this problem. Hope this will be fixed soon and pushed by HTC again

David:
I think you cannot find it in app drawer as it is a plugin for HTC Sense UI and not a standalone application for Android.
So you can find the application in Contacts -> Online -> and from here you choose LinkedIn
I don't have it in my HTC Hub. Where should it be?
its not there. I guess HTC pushed it to all and not included in HTC hub online yet.
re: picasa link
I tried to share/upload using picasa via galley but it's buggy, it want's you to log in to your google acct. even that you're logged already. Works fine if logged in.

Thats is something different.
Uploading to Picasa has always been there but the new plugin I think is to view your online albums and see pictures on your phone just like the new LinkedIn for HTC Sense plugin which enables you to see all of your friends and their profiles.

Thanks, it was there! Using it made me realize that the app is completely useless for my purposes. All it did was override my contacts with Linkedin contacts without email addresses, phone numbers, etc. I was hoping for that missing Android Linkedin app which this was not!

Are you sure it override your contacts with LinkedIn? For me what it does it actually good. I choose to see LinkedIn contacts when I open "Contacts" which you can switch off.
It links existing contacts you have in your phone with LinkedIn contacts but for me it didnt override anything!
If you mean it override your contacts, just unlink them and don't link any but still you can see all LinkedIn contacts.

I have actually deleted it as I could not figure out how to unlink. All I want is an app that accesses Linkedin, similar to twitter app, without having any effect on my phone contacts. Thanks again for your help!
Same to me, never been able to find downloaded apps.
I downloaded the LinkedIn app yesterday. When I connected to my LinkedIn account, syncing created new entries for my LinkedIn connections, which I manually had to link to the corresponding phone contacts (no automatic link suggestions). I can now view their LinkedIn profile from their contact card.
While I was in LinkedIn, I added some new people to my network. By the time they'd responded, I could no longer sync with my LinkedIn account. Force close!
I deleted my LinkedIn account, then recreated it. Syncing worked again, but I had to manually link the LinkedIn contacts to existing phone contacts once again.

I had the notification pop up to download both. Downloaded them - neither installed so I tried restarting and can't find either of them. Nor can I get back to the page on HTC Hub to download them from...
Anybody have suggestions on where to download it from?

Even I was befuddled by this. Linkedin didnt seem to install correctly. But it has - it is just an addon/plugin to the People/Contacts app and thats why the linkedin icon does not appear in the all apps page.
This Linkedin plugin allows you to sync your linkedin contacts to your address book - just go to the online directories section of the people app and click on the linkedin icon to login to your linkedin account. It also auto-suggests linking the contacts like Facebook for HTC sense plugin does, just need to give it some time.
Now to go and find out what the picasa update does!!
I did do that but linkedin isn't listed unfortuantely. Is there a URL that can trigger the download link?

dont they update automatically when you sync with facebook?
thats what i thought but i couple of my phonebook entries that are linked to facebook contacts still have old profile pics, i was wondering whether there was a way to manually refresh the pictures.
You have to sign out of facebook for htc sense and sign back in.

Im try logout and login but do not help.
Im do next and work:
1.)Go to contact and view it.
2.)Go to "photos" tab.
3.)Click "Link Facebook profile" and select contact from facebook friends
4.)It will sync and update photos wit facebook photos.
I hope that this is good way to do this
Unlink and relink should also work.
Also if you in contact see Link 1 or something like this and not linked then this is reason you can also click on this link 1 and select facebook profile and it will link this contact together...

It doesn't work for me..My friends updated their profile pictures but the contact pics still show the old ones...I tried log out and log in fb again but still not working.
Sorry I should have explained better. Go to settings and then accounts and sync and then go to facebook and select to remove the account and then sign back in. it should update all your contact photos.

Hi,
I am a bit confused with the data sources used for the HTC sense facebook app and the "official" facebook app. The story:
I used to have the normal, facebook for HTC sense. I do not remember if there was another facebook app in the application list (standard 2.1 ROM).
I used to have my contacts in there and could link them to my Exchange contacts. When the latest version of the facebook app came out, I installed it and it worked fine. I did not try to link contacts for a while.
Recently I discovered that there are some of the contacts in the facebook app that are not in the list of linkable contacts. I suspected that the official and the HTC app used different datasets. So I tried to open the HTC version without success. I could not find a link to it, only to the official app. But both are in the application list. Also, in the market, I cannot uninstall the new app completely, only remove the updates. I have done this, and also removed the facebook for HTC sense account, to reset and re-download all contacts from the web.
When I try to reinstall the account now, it shows me next to flickr etc a facebook and a facebook for HTC account in the list, but I can only create one for the HTC version. I did this, but now, the list of the contacts is empty when I try to link exchange data to facebook contacts.
I can reconnect facebook before an after the update to the online version and download the contacts which will be shown in the actual application, but the "Link to" will not show any contacts anymore.
Any suggestions?
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?
Hi, after i got my new HTC One X (The old one had Display problem)
I can't find Facebook for HTC in Accounts & Synchronisation?!
Only the normal Facebook.
Setting the preferences back and Delete all accounts doesn't work.
How to get it back?
So completely stock and a hard reset done.
Firmware is 1.28??
to be honest no idea at the moment
In the friendsstream app....., is it there??
no worries about that.
since ICS, htc integrate (linked) their facebook for htc with original facebook app (katana).
just sign in and it will showing up on friendstream widget or app.
Pictures of some of my FB contacts don't show on People. Anything wrong I'm doing?

yes, but then when uploading a photo through gallery "share" with Facebook for HTC Sense the upload fails at 100% (every time).
on a probably unrelated note, installation of LinkedIn for HTC Sense from HTC Hub fails too

Most probably the contact is not completely sync the picture yet. It happens to mine too, after awhile the picture will appeared, no worry
Actually every since Sense 3.5, the Facebook For HTCSense is no where to be seen in the Account. Everything is done via official FB, but you still hv the function of uploading a picture via FB for HTCSense, and it works for me everything. Benefit of this is it allows you to tag ppl in picture but the official FB lack of this function
Kudos to HTC Sense

Same for me! I had to re-link some of my contacts manually...
It took at least 30mins.
Login and Passwords
In response to enyaj, may not help the OP.
Wow I have been having the same problem for some time now (FB for HTC Sense not linking up profile pics with contacts), and my wifes phone would always error on photo uploads) figured out that I changed the FB password awhile back to prevent a possible hacking video issue. If you change your password on FB and use FB for HTC Sense, you must go into: Menu> Settings> Acctounts & Sync. Then delete your FB for HTC Sense account. Then just add account (bottom of screen) FB for HTC Sense and login with the correct email and password. Bam all my contacts pictures sync'd with their FB profile pics, status updates and such are working also. Hope this helps.
I got the same issue .. and after googleing .. I found out that I have to unistall Facebook update ..delete my FB account from Account$Syncing in the settings .. and make a restart,, then add My FB again in Account&Syncing ..
hi, i wanted to know how can I enable or why my whatsapp is not showing me the pictures of my contacts, I have all my contacts on my google account, none on the phone, and none on the sim card, and a lot of the are linked to facebook, twitter, etc.
and if you look at contacts all of them show the pictures, but in whatsapp only a few show the pictures of the contacts
any solution?
Probably you are not able to see Facebook contact photos in whatsapp. There were allowed to be "pulled" in Sense 3.0 but in Sense above this version they are not shown.
There are few solutions:
1. If you have a rooted phone you can try Photo Unlocker application, sadly, it has been pulled out from the market so you would need to search XDA for it.
2. You can use HaxSync to sync the pictures from Facebook and they would show normally. Alternative app is called Friend Caster.
3. People say there was an update to Whatsapp recently (can't see any on the market to be honest just now) which enables it.
After synchronizing your contacts with facebook, use photounlocker to unlock the restriction on facebook contacts.
1- open app
2- press check, it will ask for root permissions
3- press check again
4- press unlock
Done
Enjoy

Thank you very much. i was looking everywhere for this fix.
if on sense, facebook for htc sense is needed and it will synchronise you friends photos from fb
on Aosp you need to manually add a picture to each contsct you have, but this process you do it once in s liftime and whatever the rom you will be using your contacts photo will remain on any google phone
amazing app ... worked like magic thnx
