update intervals of facebook linked profiles?

Hi,
I linked some contacts with facebook (Not with the "Facebook app"), but the standard linkage that comes with the phonebook.
How do I check/set when it should automatically update the info, ie: picture,status etc.?
Thanks

As far as I know you can only have it update in 2hr intervals or manually, to switch between these two options
SF3D Contacts
--> All People
--> 3rd Icon at the bottom of the Contacts page( 'Man hiding behind a clock')
--> Menu
-->Data Connectrion setting

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks !

Wondering if interval of updates can be manually set by registry tweaks. I even tried to find where it can be but found nothing yet...

Anyone know why I suddenly don't have the third icon at the bottom? It was there before...
Whenever I try to link people to my Facebook account it doesn't work either, it just goes back to the contact info page

Did you install a background on all tabs cab? some of them screw up facebook integration. There is a fix for it out there.

Yeah, I have that installed. Could you give me the link to the post with the fix or maybe the fix itself?

Here is the fix.

Facebook syncing with phone/people list?

Is it possible to make facebook only sync with people i already have on the phone? As it is now, it adds anyone in my facebook friends that have added a number to my phone list, would rather have it so that i can manually sync the contacts i have on the phone already, or that it only synced those that already where on the phone, is this possible?

I don't know if it's possible. But in the "Contact" app you can press "Menu" then click on "Display" (i think) and choose which contact's list will appear !
I hope it will help you.

It makes them disappear from people but not the dialer really Annoying I hoped froyo would have got rid of this issue

[Q] How to set Handcent as default Msg App?

At first, i have some weird problems selecting Handcent as default messaging App at my Desire. (LeeDrOiD 2.3d and Stock RUU)
I have a Widget installed (SMS Unread Count) which displays my unread SMS on my Homescreen. In the Q&A of that Widget it says that if more than one messaging app is installed, it will ask me which one to use when i tap on the widget.
But that doesn't happen, it always starts the stock msg app.
Here's what i've done so far:
- Contacts -> Choose One -> Send SMS -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
This works only if i'm in Contacs and select to send a SMS via Contacts App. Widget still launches stock msg app.
- Set notifications for both msg apps. As i received one, i got double notifications as intended. I selected the stock notification -> Set default dialog appears -> Set Handcent as default.
Works for Notifications, Handcent will get startet. Widget still launches stock msg app.
No i'm really confused and got no more idea what to do. As i tried another ROM without Sense (GingerVillain), all i had to do there was to tap the Widget and i was asked which msg app to start.
But that doesn't work on Sense ... please help me, this is really frustrating.

I guess just delete the stock message apk? It'll be / system/app/messaging.apk or something like that just adb or terminal on the phone need advise just pm me

Works fine with my LeeDroid 2.3d
Un-select all.

Never mind, i figured it out what you wanted to say But that only disables double notification, which is not the problem. (i know ho to disable this)
The whole case is all about the fact that on Sense Roms the "SMS Unread Count" Widget won't launch the "set default app" dialog so i'm unable to choose which app should be default or not.
On other Roms, e.g. GingerVillain (No Sense) the set default dialog window appears as intended.
But i want that also on Sense

Why not just use the Handcent unread SMS widget? I use it and it's sweet.
I have just disabled everything else within the stock app - notifications etc - and replaced all the icons on my home screen and slide dock (Zeam Launcher) with either the handcent 1x1 widget or the handcent icon (can't have widget on the sliding dock)
If you use the Handcent 1x1 widget, you're guaranteed that it'll start Handcent every time!

Because SMS Unread Count is also able to be configured as an Unread Mail Widget and i want both Widgets to use the same Design. The Handcent SMS Widget isn't configurable and doesn't fit my personal desire.
Thats why i use this

Will bump this since I also have the exact same problem.

Any solution? Same issue running incredibly re-engineered.

Can't you just turn off notification in the messages app? That would make it appear like the default. You could also root and remove the default messages app.

As long as you have the app on your phone mem should be ok ... do not put it on your SD card !!...

No, to both of the guys above me. App is in phone storage, and its not the notifications that are the issue.
SMS Unread count gives me no option to launch the app of choice. It launches the stock messaging app, and all defaults have been cleared in 'manage apps'

Sorry, i didnt notice you were asking about the SMS unread count. I dont use that so i cant say how it works.

Have you tried:
Settings --> Applications --> Select "Stock messaging" app --> "Clear Defaults"
This will remove the Stock Messaging app as the default app for all chosen situations, if there are any. If there aren't, the button is greyed out and isn't the problem.

Tried that. Did not work.

Use "App Vault" and disable the stock message application..!
it can be done in one click without using any command..!!

since its the desire z rom, that should work but if not.. if you have the latest version of gmail, it doesnt have the option anymore.. uninstall the update, go to settings in gmail, do what you need then update again
Sent from my T-Mobile G2

Here's how I set it to do "silent notifications" with the newest version of Gmail:
a) Open Gmail
b) Hit Menu > More > Settings
c) Select your email address under "Account Settings"
d) Scroll down to "Notification Settings", select "Labels to Notify"
e) Select "Inbox", select "Ringtone", set to "Silent". Hit "OK". Back out of all the menu stuff.
This way, the status bar will still let you know when you have mail (so you can check it at your leisure) but will also NOT ring annoyingly when you have mail
(Of note: This works at least through Gmail v2.3.5, which is the newest in the Market (and one version that is shipped in the GApps pack add-ons for CyanogenMod based ROMs). Pretty much one of the very first things I tend to do in setup )

That's rather odd--I'm using the latest version of Gmail available in the Market (v2.3.5) and do have that option--that said, Google seems to have made it explicitly difficult to set the thing to not ring when an email comes in (or at least non-intuitive, compared to earlier versions).
There IS a menu option to turn off notifications altogether (both ringing notifications AND in the status bar)--consists of Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (select yer email address, if you have multiple Gmail accounts, you'll need to do this for each one), scroll down to Notification Settings, uncheck "Email Notifications".
If you merely want to turn off ringtone notifications for email (as opposed to all notifications--that is, if you don't want the thing blooping at you when you have new mail but DO want the status bar to indicate when you have mail) this gets more complex: Menu > More > Settings > Account Settings (per account) > scroll down to Notification Settings > Labels to Notify > Inbox > set Ringtone to "Silent". (There is also a checkbox for "Email notifications" in that same section that you can use to turn off the status bar notification--if for some reason you want it to bloop at you but NOT notify you in the status bar.)
(I am in the "Non Blooping For Email" camp, and with the newest version of Gmail this gave me minor fits until I played with it a bit and found out how to do it )

Thank you for the replies everyone. It was rather unintuitive but at least its possible

He just wants Gmail notifications to be silenced, not to miss notifications/ringtones for EVERYTHING.

[Q] Facebook birthdays shows on lockscreen although unchecked

Hi!
This is really annoying.
I have unchecked every calendar except my main one.
But the birthdays from the Facebook-calendar is still showing as a notice on the lockscreen. Is there someway around this? Or do I have to send an error report to HTC?
Cheers

Go to Personalize > Lock Screen Style > Productivity* > Settings > Display calendar events from... and select/deselect ones you want to show.
*this assumes you are using this particular theme/skin for locked screen.
I was doing the same as you, thought unchecking the FB calendar in Calendar options/settings would do the trick but no joy - took me a while to figure this out!
Hope it works.

Tryed that,didn't work,i think is a lock screen bug,i am using MILocker now.

As stated above. I does not work, that was the first thing I tried.

It worked for me.
Are you both stock or custom & are you running latest Facebook version?
Perhaps try uninstalling the Facebook app, clearing the app cache & re-installing might help. Then deselect Facebook calendar under app sync options, calendar view and then lock screen settings just to be thorough.
Failing that, not sure what else to try except a hard reset if it bothers you that much!
