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.

Choose Facebook profile photo for contact picture ?

Hi all
When you link Facebook to contacts it uses the generic profile picture as the contact picture. If the person/contact has more than 1 profile picture can you chose which profile picture is used for the contact in the phone. For example, I don't like one particular profile picture but like another.
The reason for my question is that my HTC Touch HD would allow you to chose which profile photo (from Facebook) is used ..
Cheers

It seems to default to the FB one over Phone one. I quite like it because it means it changes, when they change their FB photo.

You can choose between Facebook and GMail (and maybe local) picture for a contact : go to the contact details, if the contact comes from more than 1 source (GMail and Facebook) there is a little "linked" symbol on the upper right. Click on that symbol. You'll see the 2 sources. On that screen, you can click on the picture of your contact and choose which one to display.

That is the general idea but it seems it doesn't do so. My contacts have changed their pictures a long time ago 9on FB) and i still see their old photo. I can seem to trigger it to change. If i un-link them i see my google picture BUT Facebook shows the NEW picture. If i re-link the profile i get back the old picture.
Any ideea how to force it to update the bloody picture?
Thanks.

Am I right and from all the threads here Contacts is a mess on the Desire?

You might have to remove and add your account again in settings

It's not a mess, it just that it has A LOT of extra features (more or less useful) that don't work as they should.
As a basic contacts to select, search, call, message, email etc it's perfectly fine, they just tried to make it do a lot more and with some consequences.
@slybeans: well that works, but really isn't a solution.

[Q] Froyo - Official ROM - People widget does not remember default action

Hi,
I have updated my unrooted stock ROM to the new 2.2 stock Froyo this weekend (by using the normal system refresh).
I have done a factory reset after upgrading the operating system.
Everything works but the "People widget". If I click someone it asks for the default action. For example I select "call mobile". After the call the small mobile icon appears for the contact (indicating the default action), but if I select another contact and add a default action again, the default action for the first contact disappears... It asks again for default action when I click on the contact.
I have:
-Removed and re-added the people widget from the desktop
-Removed and re added the group (the people widget use)
-Created a new group and added people manually by using the "+" sign of people widget
...none of the above worked.
Please help me what to do.
Thank you for your help in advance,
Andrew

Do you have any idea why people widget acts like this?

Anyone? Any Idea? Suggestions?

Resolution
I was having the same issue, but I believe I was able to resolve it. When I logged into Gmail from my desktop pc, I noticed a contacts group called "Starred in Android". I added everyone who's listed in my widget to this group, and that seemed to do the trick. At that point I simply had to set the default action for each contact once, and now my phone remembers it
(BTW, I'm not sure this is Froyo-specific, as I seem to recall the same problem before I upgraded).

HTC Evo, Froyo build 3.26.651.6

The suggested "Starred in Android" fixed my problem.
Thank You for the Solution. It definitely was an annoying problem.

[Q] Can't change the photo of a facebook linked contact

The title says it all, but I will try to explain it more. So I have a contact that's linked to a facebook, so the contact's photo is taken from facebook. When I edit the contact, tab on the photo, change it with one from my gallery, then save the contact, it shows me again the facebook photo, not the one that I've chosen from the gallery.
Stock Froyo...
Anyone any thoughts about this?

Yeah, I have the same problem, no one bothered to help me, lets try again

If you view the contact in HTC People, tap on where it says "Linked" in the top right corner. Then tap on the photo - you can then choose from all the pictures you have assigned to the contact - including from facebook, google, camera and gallery etc.

yeah but it doesn't change them no matter what I choose
thanks anyway
if you know how to remove the f****ng FB contacts from the dialer I will apreciate it very much

Think you have to unlink.

You don't hv to unlink.. Be sure to display the "main" contact is either phone or google contact, whichever u changed the picture. Pick from drop down list..
If u don't wanna see FB friends, just uncheck it from People - Menu - View, uncheck facebook for htc

It did actually work this time, strange I did the same thing several times before and it didn't
I was talking about the ones at the bottom of the dialer, I got rid of the others a while ago, but it still displays the ones that have phone numbers in the dialer
thanks guys

Contact Shortcut Picture Updates?

Hey,
Anyone know if it is possible to get a contact shortcut to update its picture when facebook does? The contact picture, etc all updated... but the icon on my homescreen won't update even though the picture updated everywhere else? Running CM9 w/ Apex.

I've had varying degrees of success with different roms working or not with FB pic update. Currently I am having good luck on the Energy rom (which is awesome), but on the roms I was having issues with, I used syncmypix or something similar. though, I didn't care much for the fix, because it's just one more thing running in the background. If you are happy with your current rom, and have issues though - it's a good temp fix at least.

I am actually using HaxSync to get the pictures which is working fine. The problem is that the picture for the actual shortcut doesn't update. If I go into the contact the picture is correct.
