Hello,
On my Desire HD my twitter contacts will not show in my people list.
On the Twitter app settings I have selected Sync All under contacts and same for the Facebook app. However in the People list if I click on Menu > View, My facebook contact lists shows however there is nothing for my Twitter list.
I have synced account but still nothing.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so there is a fix?
I am trying to link my twitter contacts to my phone list and I have to use the Twitter for HTC Sense as a workaround.
Thanks

I can't seem to get facebook contact pictures to update in the people/contacts app. The facebook pictures populated in contacts when first setup, but loads of my contacts have updated their facebook profile pics since and they just won't update on my Desire no matter what I do. I've sync'd, removed facebook, relinked contacts etc no joy. Anyone know how to make this update?

I am having the same problem. Anyone able to help?
Same here only way I can update is deleting the sync and re syncing.

This is well documented on here guys as something that needs fixing. The only way to get the pics updated is to remove your facebook account and then re-add it.
Various people I beleive have aready emailed HTC (including myself) about this problem.
I have the exact same issue though about 2 weeks ago I noticed one of my contacts pictures had updated on my phone without me doing anything but it was only the 1 from what I can see and don't know what makes that one different from the rest

I tried it and removed the FB account and also the FB app but after adding them back it won't load any FB contacts at all!!
The app works fine and the account show like it syncs but in contacts when i choose which ones to show it just says: facebook (0)
What gives?
Has anyone else had issues with twitter/linking contacts recently?
Since the oauth issues I've had problems with it - obviously twitter client Peep wouldn't connect when the issues started - when they were fixed all my contacts duplicated for twitter, so I cleared the cache on peep and re-set it up, but not when I go into people to link a contact to a twitter contact, when searching for a twitter contact it's blank with no contacts.
The online directory from People shows all the people who are following me, but when i hit the link button from the contact and select twitter, there's no contacts listed at all...
Any suggestions on what could be wrong?
Thanks
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,
I've got an issue, not a massive one but it bugs me nonetheless.
Currently, when I tap the Phone button from the home screen it brings up a list which shows my recent call list, if I scroll down I get a long list of all my contacts. The thing I find annoying is that the long list includes all of my Facebook "friends" that have a telephone number listed.
What I would like is for this list to only contain my contacts (copied over from my SIM), and for the ones that are linked to a Facebook account, to have their status etc updated. I do not want my random Facebook "friends" to be in the list.
The most recent thing I've done to try and solve this issue is to go into the Facebook app on the phone and change the 'Sync Contacts' settings (Menu-> Settings) to 'Don't sync'. I then went into (phone) Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications-> All (tab)-> Contacts storage-> Clear Data. I then copied my contacts back over from the SIM. (I've also tried the 'Sync with existing contacts' option as well)
All was well for a while, my contacts linked up again and I got facebook details for my contacts when calling them. However I noticed to my annoyance that my Phone list now contains my facebook contacts again!
I notice under Settings->Accounts and Sync I have two (removable) Facebook accounts, one is Facebook, the other is Facebook for HTC Sense. Does anyone know if it would help to remove either of these accounts?
Can anyone help me find a way to solve this issue (preferably without extra software or going through the People menu)?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Grim.
I just fixed this myself.
I think it's something to do with how HTC Facebook interacts with official Facebook. If I turned of syncing on both (but left contact sync disabled in both) I'd still get contacts in Phone (and also in suggestions in sms app). If I removed both, then added Facebook official only I'd still get them.
In the end, opening up Facebook on my PC and going into privacy then apps and disabling Facebook for HTC Sense seemed to solve it to me. I could then use the official Facebook app without getting all these contacts I'd never use.
I didn't care about getting contact pictures and stuff so I never tried letting official Facebook sync with existing contacts only, but it might work properly.
Hope this helps, completely unscientific but it seemed to for me!

Hi JBrizz thanks for your reply.
I didn't think of logging into the facebook website to disable anything. I'll give that a try.
In the meantime I've fiddled about with the accounts in 'Accounts and Sync'. I've tried deleting both the Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense accounts.
After deleting both I went into the Facebook app and signed in, which recreates the account in Accounts and Sync. I set the sync options in the app to not sync any contacts. I waited around for a while and no extra contacts (from Facebook) appeared in my Phone list.
I then went into the Facebook app and changed the sync settings to 'sync with existing contacts' - which I assumed should only sync the data for the people currently in my phone book? Anyway after a few minutes I checked an all of my Facebook friends were now in my Phone list AGAIN
I started from fresh again and tried a similar thing with the other Facebook for HTC Sense account - I had to recreate this in the Accounts and Sync settings screen.
Again after a few minutes all my Facebook friends where there on my Phone list
Maybe this functionality isn't available with this phone / app?
Anyone else have any ideas?
It is a google problem, not a HTC problem.
The HTC app is doing what it should be doing. If you go to the people app, click on your contact (far left) and then menu -> view you can see the facebook option is unchecked.
However the Phone dialer (google product) just syncs everything.
There is a issue no for this, 10618 @

Best thing to do is you guys reply and make this defect more and more noticeable.
I've posted on the google issue site, cheers for the link!
Hello.
Just got this phone 2 days ago. Already updated it to Pie, first Android One I have.
I noticied Contacts is not showing information about other apps inside contacts details, like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.
In a "normal situation", when you open a contact, these information will be present bellow contact details, but for me isn't showing.
Is Android One this way, or I'm missing something?
Thanks in advice.
Android one is not miui.
Contacts is a standard Google app. If works the same on any phone.
If you don't like it, you can find alternatives in the store.
I just checked and I could add various "IM" accounts to a contact, and they showed up when viewing the contact...

I know we don't have miui here. Isn't the point.
My own profile is showing with all information bellow my phone numbers, but all other contacts don't.
I noticied when I SEARCH for a contact inside app, it shows 2 or more duplicates, and the information is there. So, maybe is a merging problem, but all my contacts is correctly merged!
As far as I know, Facebook, Messenger, or Instagram contacts can no longer be sync automatically with any contact app (due to facebook policy)(unless your phone is rooted)
Whatsapp contacts should be automatically sync, but sometimes they doesn't appear or appears as duplicates.
The solution for me was to use Merge + app which "really" merges contacts so that Whatsapp informations appears in contacts details without duplicates
I don't know about other IM apps...
