I hate WM Facebook client because it doesn't work for me right. I need to press refresh tens of times to get the fresh view. I can upload photos but I don't see if they're uploaded or not. I can't add comment to a photo I'm uploading. Sometimes uploading ends with error.
Is it possible to do it through browser?
I can't find such possibility in mobile view. And in full view - a button to upload photos is inactive.
Any ideas?
facebook now support email uploads, check the mobile settings in facebook!
I dont know of a mobile site that lets you post to Facebook through your mobile browser, but the two WindowsMobile apps FIM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480365 and ShoZu http://www.shozu.com/portal/index.do provide direct upload to Facebook wall, or for ShoZu only to your wall or the album you choose. ShoZu even lets you add a title and a comment to each photo. The mobile browser version of ShoZu however only allows for posting as an email attachment, as does Facebook itself.

Where did you find that. I hit settings then account settings, then mobile tab. I don't see anything about email, just a cell phone number. Any clue where you saw that.
How do i update contacts that are linked to facebooks profiles pictures in the desire?
some people have updated their profile pictures in facebook but i cant get my desire to recognise the new profle pictures.
I would like see if is possible that when you browse phone book that you see facebook images on contact is this possible? I see images only on contacts which do not have phone contact added...

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.

Thanks so much, it worked...xD
hey guys so its my first time using sense, so bear with me, how do you do the auto contacts linking with facebook? stock android does it pretty well where if the name matches identically it'll pull facebook info like pictures and stuff to supplement your contacts. on Sense I can't figure out how to do that. Only way i got it to link was to link it manually in every contact which is a huge pain in the ass.
Go to Accounts and Sync and add a Facebook account. You should have had the option in the initial setup also.

yea did that since first boot, it syncs the contacts, but its not linking it. what I mean by that is when you go through your contacts list, it doesn't show their facebook pictures n stuff.. until you manually go through each contact n link it with their facebook profiles. Its really quite stupid. Stock android does this wonderfully btw
This has always worked flawlessly for me so I can't really help you on that one.

In the contacts app go to the updates page, and it'll show partial matches, hit that and it gives you a checklist of everyone to sync with facebook.
i don't see an updates page, and by contacts do you mean people?
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?
I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.

I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..

OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?
This works for adding pics but how do you make Facebook the default pic...

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..
