[Q] Official Facebook app wont let me upload photos to profile picture album

For some reason, the stock facebook app that came with my Desire will not allow me to upload photos to my Profile Pictures album. The option is there, but it is greyed out, along with "take photo" and "delete album". On most others its fully choosable.
Is there a reason for this? Its quite annoying and I cant figure it out. Is there a setting I have to ok, or permissions I have to give online?

are you using the updated app?

Syncing callID pictures with facebook primary picture?

Is there an app / way to assist me in syncing the callerID pictures on my phone to their facebook primary profile picture like what it does on WP7 ?

Already possible. Just connect an existing contact with the corresponding facebook contact. The pictures should start synchronizing now depending on your settings.

How do I exactly do that?

Well you have to go to Contacts->Add account->Facebook, choose your Facebook contacts and merge them with your Google contacts. Then all the stuff from Facebook should sync with your Google contacts, but it won't back up the Facebook contacts to your account, which sucks
OR, you can get this app called Google Contact Sync, log in to your accounts in the app (Windows app) and it'll sync all of your Facebook friends to your current Google contacts, which works out to be awesome!

When I tap on facebook, I get kicked back to the accounts and sync page... what seems to be the issue here?

no no no don't tap on the Facebook icon in the 'More accounts' section, there should be one in 'Integrated accounts', use that one.
Do you have SNS installed?

Im using Doc's v9 Barebones, so I think SNS is not installed.

Ok so I've installed the SNS application and added the integrated account logged into my face book account and not its like "Loading..." forever..
EDIT:
NVM found it, its gonna be a pain to join the contacts 1 by 1 and they get renamed according to their facebook names ~_~

hi there
i think i have a same problem like u before
but now, problem solved with SyncMyPix (free at the market), the best caller photo sync i ever try
it's very simply, just syncronize it, and u can link with ur contact one by one if don't have exact match name with ur facebook friends
sometimes, it automatically syncron, if u have a exact match on full name or last name
if the picture miss crop, u can crop it manually from the original picture
since the default samsung sync contact can't do that way
notes: u need to set your contact saved as in g-mail account first.
hope it helps

Dont wanna save them as gmail contacts, Can anyone tell me how I can sycn the facebook contacts to my phone and still follow the name on my phone contact lists, come of my contacts follow the name on the phone but a lot of them auto changes to their current FB name..

[Q] How to remove default app links on a rooted phone..??

Hello Frnds,
Recently I rooted my phone as I wanted to remove my stock SMS app due to missing functions as described in my previous post and also to remove the stock contact app as there is no provision to add birthday. After rooting, I removed these two apps and some of unwanted apps provided by SE. I installed new phonebook app and Handcent SMS app and I was happy unless I needed to add a new contact to my phonebook. When I click on add new contact , it showed me an error message saying application not found to handle this. When I again reinstalled the removed Contacts app back and click on add new contact from my new phonebook app, it opened the add new contact page of the Contacts app i.e. without Birthday entry. I was so annoyed to see that I landed up on the same path from where I had started.. Can anyone tell me how can I chagne the default link so that I can use the Add Contact funtion of new app Phonebook and not of the Contacts app.

Most of such replacement apps, especially messaging ones, need to work along with the corresponding default one. As far as I know, only GO SMS can work individually, but again, it's not recommended to uninstall such vital system apps because they are deeply integrated in stock ROM.

Thanks for ur reply.. But as u must know that there is not provision to add birthdate in the stock contacts app and even if I add some other app from market which has provision to add birthday and click on add new contact, it again opens the same stock contacts app's add contact page...

That last part is the third-party app's issue.
See, there are three elements in a Contacts app: the dialer, the contact list and the contact viewer.
Some apps include only the first two, thus when you open a contact, stock app (and more specifically InfiniteView) appears.
As for birthdays, if you sync your contacts with Facebook inside Xperia, you'll get them.
Or you could add a note to each contact with their birthday.

[Q] Stock Gallery and Dropbox Integration Question

I noticed that by setting up dropbox, it automatically places my dropbox video folders at the near top of my gallery folders before picasa albums and right after the camera roll. I was wondering if there was a way to sever this integration but keep dropbox on my phone? I've looked for gallery and dropbox settings but I cannot find anything to delink the apps.

within gallery you hit menu and then select "view by" and then "content in device"
but that just changes the view, afaik, which eliminates most of the clutter. i dont want dropbox albums or picasa to sync and i have not found a way yet either.

I just removed the built in Dropbox and use the one from market.

Gallery displaying all photos in my email....

Why on Earth is it creating a "All Downloads" folder that has all the photos I have attached to emails? I have to either hide the album or keep deleting the images. I dont want them in there. Is there a fix?

Just delete them...

If I remember right you need to try going into the gallery and then selecting menu/settings. If photo sync is checked, uncheck it.
