[Q] 2.3 Update and Facebook photos - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi again guys,
I have heard that the 2.3 update stops the Facebook integration with Contacts. Can anyone tell me if this is true?
One of the best features of this phone is having the little Facebook photo next to all my contacts, birthday reminders, status updates showing etc.
Will I lose this if I update to 2.3?
Thanks!
Matt

I use custom ROM 2.3 and Facebook photo profile still integrated with my contacts.

Try check yours account with HTC Facebook and Facebook and log-in again and sync all..

I really can't see why it would be any different from the custom roms i've been using. It still works for me I still get all the info from fb linked with my contacts.

Yeah iv noticed it is still there although in the previous rom i was using they failed to show up after a few failed syncing attempts but that just meant i had to reflash and works perfectly

sounds promising then. Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes

Facebook Notification 2.2 / 2.3 ??

Does anyone have working Facebook notifications on either Froyo or GB ?
I seem to recall having it working on one of my recent ROMS (i've been flashing like mad recently)
But now I can't seem to get them working on either
SR4
CM7.0.2.1
Warm 2.2
OMFGB 1.2
I'm on CM7 right now, and under settings --> accounts and Sync --> my facebook account, I only see Sync Contacts, when I'm sure I sued to see Sync Live Feed, which is possible why I'm not getting Notifications ?
anyone else having issues ?
You're thinking of the Facebook for HTC Sense account. When you're running a sense ROM and login to facebook through HTC sense, then you get the option for 'Sync live feed'. The regular Facebook app doesn't have this option, so you need to be running a sense ROM. Out of the ones you mentioned i'd recommend SR4, but thats just me
But facebook in gingerbread should give me notifications from the app itself right?
I'm not getting any, even though I should
Sent from my Incredible using XDA Premium App
The notifications from the Facebook app both in gingerbread and froyo have always been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I will get my notifications, sometimes they will be delayed and sometimes they just won't show up at all. And it's not ROM or even phone specific, the inconsistency is across multiple ROMs and phones.

[Q] Possible Facebook Syncing Issue

On the Verizon model of Samsung Galaxy Nexus.... 4.0.2 unlocked bootloader Rooted.... On every other Android device I have had going to settings than Account/Sync was how I added Facebook to the contacts list including phone numbers. I recently tried this Modaco ROM guide to fix it. It didn't work.... Is this a well known issue that facebook syncing doesn't work on Galaxy Nexus? When going to settings account/sync I click add account I select Facebook and it just goes back to the Accounts/Sync window same thing every time i hit Facebook
Search.......

RD-Miui problems about facebook sync and keypad types...

Hello,
I flashed the rom last night. It is amazing! But there is some problems for me...
1. Problem:
I am now trying to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts... But there is no facebook contacts syncing... No facebook id in the people's contact menus...
I used htc sense roms before and i could've sync the facebook contacts.
And there is no contact sync menu in facebook App's submenus?
So do you know what the problem that i have?
2. Problem:
I can easily use the "phone pad keyboard types with t9" but i can't find a second keyboard type other than the miui keyboard in the miui's settings menu...?
Is there a way to change the miui's orijinal keyboard type to phone pad type ?

For facebook you will need to download the facebook app or any other app that syncs your contacts. A reboot may be needed. If you want to sync your facebook contacts with whatsapp along with your phone contacts, let me know I'll upload an app for that.
Or you could manually input your facebook contacts
I didn't understand your second question/problem.
Edit: heck, the app I mentioned.... you can find it if you scroll down a bit.

First of all,
Thank-you for your fast response...
1. & 2. Photos,
As you can see from the screen shots,
I have all ready install Facebook App. And it's showned at Acounts menu. But in the contacts menu, there is only Google and Exchange Acount showing..
So, the people in my contact list have not sync with my Facebook or Twitter Acount.
3. & 4. Photos
I installed an. Htc keyboard App. From the forum as you can see, i have just wanted to change orginal miui keyboard to phone pad type..
I think miui must have 2. Optional keyboard as standard..

That looks like miui ics. I haven't flashed that in a while. If I remember correctly there might have been problems with the contacts. Read the thread, yes, the 100+ pages or you can use the search function.
Before doing that you can try clicking on the sync off and then on to see if it resyncs and reboot if it doesn't show. If you already tried this then you can skip it.
With the keyboard, sorry I still don't know what you want to do. Coffee still hasn't kicked in.
Click on qwerty keyboard to see if that is what you want. But then again that should have been the default so you ahould have seen it.
If it is that you only want a dial pad, only numbers to show, that will show up in a few places, how to select that only, no idea.
Sorry if this is confusing, I just got up and coffee hasn't done its magic yet.
Edit: I think I see what you mean.
You want to use two different keyboards at the same time?
Or is it that you want to use only the t9/dial pad all the time?
The most I know is that you can change the theme for the keyboard, however, Im not sure if that is working in ics yet.

hmm,
i've just came at home and saw your reply...
i just want to use the dial pad keyboard style for all time... and i have used it with my old htc sense rom for along time...i installed an htc keyboard .apk from the forum as you see.. but miui doesnot have the dial pad keyboard style, it has only qwerty keyboard... am i correct?
i really liked miui, but the keyboard and the contacts sync issue is really important for me...
For facebook problem use (facebook sync application) is the best for now
and for the keyboard i don't get your problem but you maybe would to try perfect keyboard application

Gonna flash blinds ics to see if the same thing happens.

If you figure it out let me know.
Regarding the keyboard, couldn't figure it out.
Edit: apparently its an ics issue.

Try HaxSync it works a lot better than the facebook app with syncing facebook contacts to your phone plus it also downloads a better photo from facebook than the fb app does.

[Q] Question on ROM BeanStalk 4.3.1001 & Facebook

I just installed this on a Galaxy S3 SGH-i747 and it works great! smooth install and all... My questions is about Facebook, my calendar wont sync. As I look in my stock S4, there is a facebook account OTHER than the regular facebook account that says "sync apps with facebook" that the S3 doesn't have under accounts. The regular Facebook account just lets you sync contacts but not calendar or events. Somewhere I read that im missing S Planner from Samsung... Can someone please shed some light on Facebook Calendar sync with this ROM JellyBean 4.3 BeanStalk Build 4.3.1001 - 02 OCT ?
Thanks!
I'm not entirely familiar with the structure Google is using right now but Google doesn't all calendars and syncing contact photos, events or birthdays in from the stock app in Android. Some manufacturer or carrier branded roms have alternatives that let you do all of this.. Since Beanstalk is built from AOSP libraries and not the manufacturer, we know that we're going to have to find a third party app to handle these events from now on.
HTC had libraries built into Sense 5, and even more so in the previous versions that had Friendstream, Samsung does it I'm sure, but I dont use any of their stock bloatware.
Its got to do with app policies and your contacts list though, the Facebook app used to do it all but Google made changes, I can't remember if they introduced them in Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean. I use a wonderful little app to take care of all of that and keep my pictures synced. HaxSync

[Whatsapp] [Solved] Does the icon badge for new messages work for you?

Hi!
When you receive a new message, does sense home show a small number badge on the whatsapp icon like on previous HTC devices?
On my 10 i dont get the badge...does the new sense home support it for third party apps at all?
Newsest whatsapp version is already installed. Didnt try a reinstall yet, wanted to hear your experiences first.
Thanks!
I haven't got it

Same issue here as well
Same here. This might be a Whatsapp specific issue though, I do get the unread count on Mail, Telegram and Gmail apps.
Hm, when reading the FAQ on the whatsapp page im not sure that this is an issue with whatsapp, cause they are "blaming" the launcher, if it doesnt work.
Same problem here with whatsapp. I use typemail for email and that does show a unread badge
Same here. I use MS Outlook as Mailclient and it doesn't show badges as well. How is the chance that this will get a fix soon? ^^
It was working on whatsapp for me until I did a factory reset... Now it doesn't work

I didnt do a reset, it just didnt work out of the box. Maybe lets wait for the next Whatsapp version. Any other ideas?
Doesn't work for me either. I have send Whatsapp-support a message about this.
I believe this is an issue with Sense Home as I have the same problem with WhatsApp and also with truecaller. For true caller, I once got 1 notification and now it just wont go away or change.
Got the Sense Home update, but still the same problem. Can anyone who has the icon badge work on Whatsapp confirm it? Is it not working for all HTC 10 owners or only a few?
I got a sense update and a whatsapp update yesterday and now I can see the notification number on the icon
Whatsapp update version 2.16.98 fixed it.
Fixed on my end as well ????

Me too... tried uninstalling Whatsapp & reinstalling... got the Sense update, but that didn't fix it... then planned to uninstall Sense update & reinstall, but it won't let me reinstall... says not compatible with this device
Still no little number icons on my icon...
I see the same yet I see it also with Facebook app which might be the app issue.
I use Nine for emails and it works fine for me
