Hi all,
I got a swanky new HTC Desire HD on Monday - previously had an HTC Legend. OMG, the Desire is soooo fast
Anyway, I found this add-on in the HTC Hub called LinkedIn for HTC Sense. Seeing as I have an LI account, I thought I would have a play and see what it does.
I keyed in my user details and waited for it to sync. When it does, it finds 1 user to link in my Contacts. When I open up the window to link my phone contact with the LinkedIn contact, the window disappears and then nothing else happens for about 60 seconds. At that point, the LinkedIn for HTC Sense app Force Closes.
There's no update from HTC for the app, so I'm kinda stuck.
Suggestions? I'd love to bring in my 800 odd LI contacts into my phone.
I've got the same problem. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Help?
Stock Sense Rom, Not rooted.
Me Too
I updated my rom and now cant sync my Facebook contacts. I can use the stand alone facebook app without any problems, but it will not let me add the facebook account to my phone, everytime i try it says "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
So I cant use any of the build in facebook stuff like friendstream or contact sync updates.
This sucks, bigtime, hope froyo upto will fix this.
I never had any problems with it ever untill today when I had tk wipe do to free space errors

Yes, I'm Facing the same thing as well !!
I am starting to think its more of a fb issue rather than the device...
anyone else can confirm? any official statement by HTC? and by when will it be fixed?
Cheers

I have EXACTLY the same issue - I flashed a new ROM yesterday (unbranded stock) and facebook doesn't show a single contact... Any ideas?
I was talkink with the german HTC Support.
They told me to hardreset my desire (again) and try to just setup WiFi and "Facebook for HTC Sensse"
After the sync i did not have any Facebookcontact in "Contacts" (need to make them visible: contacts --> Menu -> Show --> Facebook (0))
That (0) indicates that the contacts are not synced.
In addition when I manually sync "Facebook for HTC Sense", the live-feed takes a couple of seconds, Contacts takes less than 1 second.
i use the official, nonrooted htc "2.1-update1" rom (1.21.405 CL174215 release-keys)
Any better Idea?
One observation:
When I go
People -> Online directories -> Facebook -> Menu -> Refresh
I get a "connection error" instead of a successful sync - now if I would only know why!
I just tried that and i got xonnectiln error, intrestingly when i updated my profile it worked... but still not friends

Same here
If I then go to Menu --> Own profile I do see my profile
If I to there to "Refresh" it comes (translated from German) "We are Sorry. the Application Faebook for HTC Sense (Prozess com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) was closed unexpected. Retry again.
HTC was answering. They sent me a manual how to reinstall HTC Sync...

I can confirm that - profile and wall works - sync contacts doesn't.
I have the same problem since yesterday.
So it's because of Facebook?
Hmmm..
I'm having the same problem.
I had to unroot my Desire as it would not let me upgrade to official 1.21 (Danish rom) and after unrooting and updating, facebook friends cannot be read or sync'ed.
Friendsstream and everything else is working perfectly, just not linking and facebook contacts.
I too get the Connection Error upon trying...
I think it is a FB issue - darned!
I was again talking to HTC Support and giving all Hints.
We also tried via Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, FB for HTC Sense --> Delete temp files
It went now to 3.levelsupport.
...and?

I don't see how it would work, HTC Sync has nothing to do with Facebook contacts...
No, of course it did not work. HTC Sync is to sync from Outlook to Desire (or whatever)
Seems as they have same problem with Legend
Hi, I got the same problem since yesterday. I tried to unlink the facebook sense and re-link it in order to update my friends' profile pic in my contact. I can't even sync with my PC (HTC sync) now. Friend stream also not work. Please help~~

Its not the same problem - Friendsstream, HTC Sync and everything BUT Facebook Friends syncronization seems fine...
This is still going on? I havent been able to sync my FB contacts for a few days.. it says " Service is unavailable would you like to try again?"
Hey guys, I want to sync Facebook contacts with my phone contacts. Should I use the Facebook Application to sync or log into HTC Sense for Facebook to do the syncing?
I used the facebook to sync with my contacts, however they did not link my contacts (from my sim card) with my facebook's contacts. Might be the sim card's problem.
But is it able to sync to your phone contacts?

Yea, but only those who included their phone no. in their facebook's profile. To see the complete list of your FB's contact, including those who didn't include their contact no., you can find them through "people" > "online directories" > "facebook".
Not sure if it's of any help.
I see. How about using htc sense for Facebook? How does it works?

Ohno, I'm so sorry! I realise I'm using Facebook for HTC Sense all the while. I had to manually link the my contacts.
Sorry for the confusion!
Oh I see. So what's the process like? Under Accounts and Sync, add a HTC Sense for Facebook account first is it? And let it sync?
I would use Facebook sence. The reason I say this is because it should suggest auto links for your contacts. However I still found it got a little confused and was better to link manually. Also it will give you more options with other HTC features. Also if you then use Facebook for android make sure you chose not to sync contacts. This is because your contacts will get two lots of Facebook info, one from sence and one from android. Found that a right pain.

Yea, I think that's what I did. Under Accounts & Sync > Facebook for HTC Sense > Sync contacts.
This will auto sync the phone contacts with the Facebook one? Or need to manually sync?

I use both, as I've had issues syncing at different times. As long as the names are similar or there is something similar about the contacts it will ask to link them, least it did for my 300 contacts on the phone.
Hi,
I've had the same problem which I can't resolve.
I have both a "Facebook" account and a "Facebook for HTC sense" account. I can sync the facebook account to my contacts in my cellphone (HTC DHD) just fine. All my contacts will be sync'd and it will get me their pictures from facebook, however those pictures are zoomed in and of bad quality.
Therefore I chose to sync "Facebook for HTC sense" to my contacts. It gives me better pictures (except there is a Facebook logo on them), and it writes their last wall post in my contacts list.
The issue is that it doesn't sync all my contacts (which are in both my facebook friends and my phone contacts of course), I have 2 or 3 people missing...
I looked on the Internet for hours and didn't find any solution. It's either all the contacts with bad pictures, or most of them with good pictures but F logo on them.
If anyone gets more info about all that, please answer.
Thank you.
I could not understand the exact logic difference between Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense and also Tweeter & Tweeter for HTC Sense and how to sync them (both or only select one).
All I want to see my "Favoruites" widget update my contacts status on a regular basis from facebook or tweeter (whichever one is most updated).
How you guys use this?

Agree with this 100%, I prefer using the official Facebook app, instead of Facebook for HTC Sense, however I'm thoroughly annoyed that the picture qualities are awful and zoomed in.
Googled it up and found that Facebook app was update in version 1.4 to allow high-res pictures to be linked to the contacts, but for some reason on the DHD even though the Facebook app is at version 1.5 the image qualities are still terrible.
Anyone managed to sync their Facebook contacts/pictures to their DHD without using HTC Sense and still getting good quality images?
Hi all,
I have rather strange problem or maybe not! I've used to my Hero so maybe this is a new "feature". I have a doubled facebook contacts - it is syncing them twice. It took me a few moments to realize that on Desire HD, the facebook app is syncing contacts in parallel with Facebook for HTC Sense (the integrated one). I've opened up Accs & Sync only to find out there are two entries for facebook one for "Facebook" and one for "Facebook for HTC Sense". I stood still for a while wondering "what the h**l"?! I figured out that the stupid Facebook app is trying to sync my contacts (because maybe it's thinking I don't have HTC Sense, but a phone without Facebook integration). After some comparison with the Hero I've noticed that in the Hero's FB App (FB v.1.5.0 - the same as the one on Desire HD) there is no Sync Contacts option in settings ....
So I am thinking maybe ... the phone is not recognized by the FB app and that's why it's adding a second sync profile and doubling my FB contacts.
This is not an actual issue because I can always turn off the sync into the FB app (I will still have the sync profile in Accs & Sync because if it's removed the facebook app stops working - it asks for login details). The real issue is, that I no longer can have notifications on the taskbar for facebook events (updates, reqests and so on ..) and I am thinking maybe theese are related somehow?
Or it is because of HTC Sense - in the Hero there is an option for the updates and events (Phone>People>Updates & Events>Setting). In Desire HD there is no such thing there. Instead similar setting are found when you open a contact and select "Updates & Events", but there are no options for updates and events notifications!
Is this the same on your devices !? Or I've messed something up.
Android OS version is the last OTA. Phone is not rooted.

I'm having a problem logging into Twitter using friendstream. It keeps saying bad password. Yet on other Twitter apps I can log in fine. Is anyone else having this problem. I suspect its a problem with friendstream and Twitter the way it logs on. Maybe HTC have a fix? Or does anyone know a solution.
I have the same problem too. Hope HTC comes up with a fix soon.
Have you tried adding your account manually?
Settings >> Account & Sync >> Add Acount and clicking on Twitter for HTC Sense.
Let me know od the outcome

Twitter and Now Facebook for HTC Sense FriendStream Not Working
I have an HTC EVO 4G and I've been having the same problem with Twitter for about a week now. Unfortunately now Facebook isn't updating as of yesterday. I remember this happened before a few months back and it took a few weeks for HTC to get it fixed. I hope they fix it soon though. It was so convenient updating Twitter and Facebook in "one shot" and seeing both updates on 1 screen.
Does anyone know of an app that works similar to Friend Stream?
Nope still not working.
Hi there,
I'm using the CalDav app from the market in order to sync with my server, because the standard exchange implementation on the one x does not allow to sync multiple exchange servers from one account.
Ive also been using CalDav on my Galaxy S2 and everything worked as expected. Now with the One X I have nothing but trouble. I installed CalDav and configured it. My calendars were recognized and the appointments were synced from the server to the phone.
However when I add an appointment on the One X it won't get synced to the server, although the two sync mode is enabled.
That's the first bug which makes me think that I never should have bought a HTC device again.
Ok, apart from that. The HTC calendar does not allow to edit the calendar afterwards. Let's say I add an appointment to my "WORK" calendar. Then I realize that the appointment belongs to the "PRIVATE" calendar. So I click on edit and normally you should be able to change the calendar by clicking on the calender in the upper left corner. However on the One X nothing happens there.
So, you have to delete the appointment and make a new one, which I really dislike.
I've already installed the second update from HTC and such bugs are still there - I cannot believe it. I'm so angry I could cry
Do you have any idea about how to solve my problems?
Thanks a lot!
shared problems are half problems: I have the same frustration leaving WMo
