I don't remember exactly when it started to happen, but I think maybe after I upgraded to the 1.72 (I'm rooted by the way) most of my SMSs don't display the picture of the contact, only a few of them have it...
I already deleted the sms and restore them back, cleared data and cache from message app, deleted the HTC Sense sync, refresh facebook friends (to refresh their pictures), but it doesn't work...
Does anyone have the same problem??
it is a lag of a update of 1,7. so you need to wait to another update, HTC knows this issue but they too busy planning inspire,thunderbolt phones so DHD will haveto wait.
i hear this will be fixed by the summer of 2011.
correct me if i am wrong

I hope by the summer 2011 we have Gingerbread, not just a fix for the issues HTC caused
I fixed this issue by disabling the sync on the Facebook for HTC Sense in the Account and Sync area in settings than deleting the account, next I went to the Manage Applications and clearing the data off the Facebook for HTC Sense. After re-adding my FB account to the HTC's Facebook app it worked.
Hope this helps.

This it worked for me! Thank you.
Works for me too. Thank you very much
Works for me too... Thanx
if you gonna make a restart, problem will back! what i do to handle after restart, go to the contacts, unlink facebook htcsense and link again, save and close.
Actually some contacts will stay after even restart. so you dont have to do it for every contact.
You have to chmod the pics.
Using terminal emulator,
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*

Great! Thank you!
You could try a couple of things
1. Simply Reboot. This fixes the problem a lot of the times
2. Sort out your lined contacts. Usually, if there are more than 6 linked contacts (even if all of the 6 have icons for them), Sense just doesn't show them. A lot of times, you might end up having duplicates of contacts which may have been made by either, having an iOS devices with iOS 3 or earlier syncing contacts with your Google account, or if you used the Transfer Data app.
3. Hit the Sync Now button. You might end up loosing statuses/profile pictures if the previous sync hit an anomaly. You could go to the settings and trying your luck by tapping on the Sync All button. Usually this should work. If it doesn't, try re-signing in into the account(s) you think are causing the problem
This should solve whatever problem which you were having.
Hope this helped.
chmod worked like a charm, thanks a lot!

Im having an issue with Facebook sense. I noticed after restarting my phone for the first time that the Facebook friend stream was no longer updating even though it was set to update every hour and it was enabled, Looking in the setting menu confirmed this as the last updated time was not changing unless i forced a resync. Removing and re-adding the account worked for a while until I restarted the phone but as soon as I did the same issue manifested, it just wont automatically update. All other automatic updates seem to work.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so have you managed to find a resolution?
Cheers!
if you have the little power bar widget, with Bluetooth WiFi etc on, have you turned on the reloading sign?

Already checked that, every other app updates correctly just not facebook
log out then back in...it fixed my friends list not updating with new friends, probably will sort out th e friendstream (providing you've not already fixed it)
make sure its the facebook for htc rather than facebook for android tho !
How are you logging out of it?

I don't have my phone with me at the moment, but while logged into Facebook, is there no option to log out via the browser or when you press the Menu button?
I had that problem, fixed by going into settings and re-selecting the update frequency, seems to need repeating at each boot.
Does anyone know how to update contact pictures? My friends have updated their facebook prof pics but it isnt getting update to my phone.
i had to delete my facebook account then re-add it
Facebook integration seems a bit iffy on mine too. New friend facebook contacts do not show up on Contacts tab (to be linked). It seems the thing does not update without remove-re add.

Yeah I had to remove the account and re-add but then it only synced 30 contacts at first and then I had to keep resyncing 3 times to get all contacts synced.
Same here.....had to re-add my account
The first time it cut off at around 40. I rebooted the Desire, now I have the first 40 twice.

Solution
Had the same issue, just updated facebook and all better now...
not to beat a dead horse on this one, but I am having something along these issues with my FriendStream widget. The Facbook isn't updateing hourly like it should, I have tried the following to correct the problem:
Removed/Re-Added my account
Cleared all Cache Data
Cleared all Data
Reset the phone (factory Reset)
Updated Facebook
Really ata loss for what I should do from here, any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.
Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?
Sent from my SPH-M900 using XDA App
can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700
I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.
Sent from my SPH-D700
sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.
I know the password and and email is right because i use the same to login on a pc or the mobile broswer, but it just won't let me login or the facebook app from the market. any suggestions?
Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling? Is your version of Facebook outdated?
Well the only way i can remove facebook for htc sense is by forcing an uninstall using super manager. I been flashing a few ROMs recently and noticed it wouldn't work. I have no idea when it stopped working. I just found a ROM I liked and decided to start linking my accounts.
Oh, I was under the impression you were using the market Facebook. Try downloading it from the market. I never link my Facebook to HTC Sense, I skip it, and I download the one from the market.
yea not working either...

I recommend Synergy or Shooter(Joel's or wildstang's). They are solid roms.
I think it's a FB issue. It always worked for me but now won't work on any ROMs.

Check your Facebook Account>Security>Login Approvals setting from your PC. If it is set to Required, every time you flash a new ROM and reinstall a Facebook app, FB sees a new, unauthorized device and sends an SMS to the device with a numeric code for you to enter instead of your password.

Ive looked at this setting as it was suggested to me over in the thunderbolt-synergy thread, and it was disabled. Ive had this same problem for a couple days now after installing a new rom. Even going to a backup, it keeps telling me to re-enter my password when I try to sync my facebook account, and then tells me I entered a wrong user name or password. I do think it is a problem on facebooks end, but the weird thing is my girlfriend is having no problems with signing in to facebook for htc sense or the market facebook app.
I'll try the facebook account settings, but every ROM I flash it doesn't make a difference.

The facebook account settings didnt make a difference to me. Still wont let me sign in.
So I found a method that worked for me to fix HTC sense. I created a new email account with gmail and made it my new primary email with facebook. That's under account settings. Once I made it the new primary, i tried htc sense and it worked. Logged me right in. Let me know if this works I can give more detailed instructions per request.

maybe you guys can help me with this problem.

Hi All,
Long time reader, first time poster. I've tried searching for this topic, and those threads the touch on it all stop short of my issue. Please let me know if this is covered somewhere else.
My gmail stopped syncing since I've flashed Darkside Evolution Beta03 (otherwise it's great). I've tried clearing the cache and the data under manage applications as well as made sure that gmail is checked on the sync menu, but still no dice.
It used to be that my phone would beep whenever I got a new email before it even showed up on my desktop, but now I have to manually hit refresh for the app to see it at all, let alone before my computer.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I tried this and no dice. It's still not syncing. I suppose I could always revert back to Juggernaut 5.0, which is what I was running before this, but it would be such a shame for what seems like a stupid reason.
Anyone else with thoughts?

Yes, I tried this, and it did not work. The only time it syncs is if I actually tell it to sync. There is nothing automatic about it ...

I've been in that forum since day one and have never heard of this issue. Of course I may have missed a post or 20. I suggest not going back like u said, for such a stupid reason. I think ull really enjoy the rom. Reflash cuz that shouldn't happen. I doubt you need to reflash but instead of nitpicking what it could be I'd just super wipe and start over. Good luck.

Hi
Having trouble with Gmail since rooting to ARHD.
When I do emails on my PC (e.g. read, delete) the changes are reflected in the Gmail app on the phone. Push notifications are fine too.
But it doesn't work the other way around, i.e. when I mark emails as read or delete them on the phone, the changes never appear anywhere else - so when I log in to PC Gmail it's as if I've never done anything on the phone.
I thought it was do with sync settings, but they are all "on" - and even if I do a manual refresh in the app, nothing happens .
I've done some searches, but nothing I've found quite matches this problem (I could have missed a solution of course!).
Any ideas please, as this seems so simple to solve it's driving me crazy?!
Thanks
Rob
