Hi,
So I've recently did a "erase all data" reset (not factory reset) the other one..... on my phone
I didn't realize that I would lose all my contacts. Oh well..
I backed up my saved contacts that were on my SD card. However, I am now unable to sync my contacts' facebook profile picture to my contact picture. Only a few of them work.
I have the Facebook integration and Facebook account both in sync (which should i even use btw?)
How do I sync those picture?!?!
Thanks..
Someone reply please??!?!
You need to make sure the names are exactly the same as they are on facebook or it won't sync the information.

I love my Evo but one problem I seem to have is getting my pictures from my people to match their current Facebook picture. When I originally linked all the contacts in my people it was correct to their pictures at the time but that was 2 months ago. Now, everyones picture is still the same as it was back then even though I go to accounts->sync every day and have it on auto sync for every 4 hours. Does anyone know how to fix this bug on my phone? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I've done it by selecting settings, applications, manage applications, all tab, then select contacts storage and clear data... now your contacts must be backed up on google otherwise you'll lose all your contacts.. and just sync, sync sync
sorry for the noob response but how do i back them up with google?

If your contacts are created in your google account, meaning if you can log into gmail on your computer and your contacts are there, then they are already backed up.
If you create contacts on the internal phone storage, you are sol.
Go to people and hit menu and choose import/export. Back up the contacts that are on the internal phone storage to your sd card. Open up gmail in your pc browser and import those contacts to your gmail contacts, using the file that you backed up to the card.
Or what you can do is go to settings, accounts & sync and select facebook for htc sense, remove account, the add the account back

okay i did that and now only like 1/4th of my people have the little FB icon on the bottom left and only the people with the icon have statuses under their name. Also, when I try to link the people without the facebook icon, that person's name will not be on the list but if i choose someone else to link that first person's name is there. sorry if im confusing you guys haha I know its something small I just like to have everything right on my phone.
Wow people here are doing this the hard way. There is a facebook picture app that syncs your FB contacts picture. The other way is to just log out of facebook AND AND AND AND AND facebook for htc sense. then just log back into them both. easy as pie.
Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work
You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.
Cheers dude i just tried that and although slow as hell, i put all the main contacts i wanted to sync in Favorites and did it that way...thanks again
I've flashed my phone with the Defrost ROM and despite backing up & restoring my contacts and messages with Titanium I can't seem to get them back. Can anyone help, thanks?
Do a reboot and try again.
Tried this and had no luck. I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've stored my numbers on the phone memory, maybe Titanium only backs up SIM card contacts. God knows about the text messages??
Contacts should be backed up to your gmail account.
As for texts, I use SMS Backup and restore from the market and haven't had any problems

How do you do this? I think I've synced mine to my Gmail account but I don't know how to check for sure?
Plus a few of my contacts haven't linked correctly to Facebook but the ROM I'm using (Defrost) doesn't seem to give me the option to do manual Facebook links.

check it online in your gmail account, if its synct than all your contacts should be in there. To have this sync you have had to choose to save all your contacts as google contacts before, if you did not do it then they are not synct, will not do it automatically.
Checked gmail and they have synced with it, thanks.
Now I just need to work out how to link a couple of contacts to Facebook.
Im on GingerVillain and I think the contacts list/software is similar. Edit contact then press menu button should then give you option to 'Join Contact's you can then manually select a Facebook contact to add to your contact on your phone.
I have a problem on the photo sync with the facebook. Some contacts are automatically sync with the facebook once I have login thro the facebook apps and the HTC sense friendstrem. In the sms apps (original one), the photos of the contacts are linked, but many of them are missed even I have sync with fb. I need to manually solve it by editing the contacts are save it, then the photos with come out. However, may be 1 or 2days later, the photos are missed again, I need to manually do it again. May I know how to solve it? Is it my problem only? thx!!
Set facebook in settings to "sync all contacts." Then go to the settings of your phone>accounts & sync>and add account for facebook. Now sync contacts. When the name the contact in the phone does not "fit" to the name of this contact in facebook, you have to join them yourself:
Choose the corresponding accout>menu>edit contact>menu>join. Now choose the corresponding contact in facebook.
So i do it and all works fine.
Hope this could help you.
Photos on Contact (That Already Sync To FB Account) Was Not Sync-ing.
So Contact(s) Photos Display Nothing. I've Already Try With "Infinite" Button, But It Doesn't Affect Anything.
Note: All of My Contacts in Phonebook Display it Photos Synced With FB Before. But Later, I Logged Out My FB Account, And Then When I Logged In With My FB Account, All Of Contacts Photos Synced With FB Was Gone.
I Think Theres Some File Which I Must Delete To Recover The Setting To Retrieve Photos With Infinite Button, But I Don't Know Which Files I Must Delete.
Is There Anybody Experience This Problem?
Please Help ...
Do you have the facebook app set to sync in the settings menu?
Menu > Settings > Accounts and sync > ensure that FB is set to sync. Appologies if you have already checked this.
Already Done It
Wheter With Mobile Internet Connection (3G) and WiFi (High Speed) Still The Photo Of Contacts Won't Load.
ok, here's what i did, i removed all FB accounts. re add, and re authorized.
next make sure your Contact app has been configured to display contacts synced via SE Facebook Integration (click the icon with 3 persons at the top left of the Contacts app).
by the way, i believe you can actually view the contacts FB status from Contacts list, but apparently this is not happening.
anyone able to help?
