Hey everyone.
I have install facebook for android few months ago. After that i notice that my People's contact pic does not sync with facebook pic anymore. is there anyway to sync back the pic on update?
I did try edit the contact, select the pic and select facebook for htc sense.
That doesn't works.
Under watchdog app, i still see Facebook for HTC Sense but i can't launch the app.
go to
settings---accounts and sync----sync htc sense facebook....
or switch on auto update.......
hi
That didn't work.
as i mention, i accidentally install "facebook for android"
so currently it mess up with the htc sense facebook.
all profile pic for "people" will not update.
Is there anyway to install back the old "Facebook for htc sense"?
i have facebook for android but i also have htc facebook...........
installing facebook for android willnot affect the htc sense facebook....
apparently i found the solution
remove account in the sync and add back.
The HTC syncing with Facebook and Sense Facebook is not the best system, but neither are any of the others, generally if you are having issues with profile photos, an application I would recommend on the top of my head is called SyncPic which is very good and automatically downloads the profile photos of Facebook only, not with other networking websites...but give a crack if you are still having issues...

Hi All,
Old Winmo User here, glad to be back on XDA-Dev after a stint with a Moto Milestone.
I picked up a Desire yesterday. I love most of the HTC tweaks. I like the black theme and glossy skins more than stock android.
However, I can't seem to sync a Facebook account, only 'Facebook for HTC Sense'.
One of my favourite things on the Milestone was being able to click on someone's photo in any app and have the option to contact them via facebook, twitter , gmail, gtalk etc. This has gone on the Desire. I also liked being able to jump to a contact card straight from the Facebook and Twitter app, but this option has gone now too. The integration, which is the shining point of Android is missing on the Desire.
I think the problem is possibly because the default contacts.apk is missing, and the godawful HTC one is there instead, so Facebook and Twitter don't know what to sync with. Is this right?
I have found the contacts.apk from this thread however I can't install it. Is this because I don't have root access?
If I root my Desire, and install this APK, will my Facebook and Twitter integration return?
Cheers in advance
You should be able to send it with htc sync to your phone. (once connected a third option will appear in the programme)
Just make sure that in settings->applications that unknown sources is checked.

This thread indicates otherwise.
Is there something that HTC Sync does that just running an .apk does not? I've installed several other .apk files without problem.
You should only be able to sync with 'Facebook for HTC Sense' from the sync menu. If you open the facebook app then it will also sync with 'Facebook'. I think so anyway.
This is how I understood it too.
I 'had' a stock Desire yesterday morning and Facebook HTC Sense etc was working swimmingly there, got all updates and contact pics on the 2.1 release (out of box night before), since i rooted and dropped on a different ROM i lost all of that but my memory recalls;
Stock 2.1>Root>setup and the pictures were there fine
then Cooked ROM>setup = Fail
My suggestion is try for a root on stock and if it works all ok your golden! i think my issue is the ROMs i use dont support Facebook Sync,,, yet
Currently when i select a contact in the "People" App, it says they are synced with:
Phone
Phone
Facebook
Facebook For HTC Sense
Firstly, is there anyway to delete the other "Phone" link without having to manually unlinking them?
Secondly, do i need my contacts sync all my contacts with both Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense to get their facebook display pictures to show up and for facebook widgets to work?
& finally, is there anyway to get all my contacts to sync with google without having to re-add them all to my phone.

You can try contact analyzer which can be found in market. To find duplicate contacts.
For LAST question, you can export all your contact from your people and import them to GOogle, or you can setting up active sync.

I would suggest keeping the facebook for HTC sense sync , I tried not having that and contact pics were all blurry...makes alot of difference when you're getting a call etc.

Nope , you can keep htc sense synced and let normal facebook stay disabled thats what I do now keeps the amount of linked contacts to a minimum.

Hi, after i got my new HTC One X (The old one had Display problem)
I can't find Facebook for HTC in Accounts & Synchronisation?!
Only the normal Facebook.
Setting the preferences back and Delete all accounts doesn't work.
How to get it back?
So completely stock and a hard reset done.
Firmware is 1.28??
to be honest no idea at the moment
In the friendsstream app....., is it there??
no worries about that.
since ICS, htc integrate (linked) their facebook for htc with original facebook app (katana).
just sign in and it will showing up on friendstream widget or app.
Pictures of some of my FB contacts don't show on People. Anything wrong I'm doing?

yes, but then when uploading a photo through gallery "share" with Facebook for HTC Sense the upload fails at 100% (every time).
on a probably unrelated note, installation of LinkedIn for HTC Sense from HTC Hub fails too

Most probably the contact is not completely sync the picture yet. It happens to mine too, after awhile the picture will appeared, no worry
Actually every since Sense 3.5, the Facebook For HTCSense is no where to be seen in the Account. Everything is done via official FB, but you still hv the function of uploading a picture via FB for HTCSense, and it works for me everything. Benefit of this is it allows you to tag ppl in picture but the official FB lack of this function
Kudos to HTC Sense

Same for me! I had to re-link some of my contacts manually...
It took at least 30mins.

In response to enyaj, may not help the OP.
Wow I have been having the same problem for some time now (FB for HTC Sense not linking up profile pics with contacts), and my wifes phone would always error on photo uploads) figured out that I changed the FB password awhile back to prevent a possible hacking video issue. If you change your password on FB and use FB for HTC Sense, you must go into: Menu> Settings> Acctounts & Sync. Then delete your FB for HTC Sense account. Then just add account (bottom of screen) FB for HTC Sense and login with the correct email and password. Bam all my contacts pictures sync'd with their FB profile pics, status updates and such are working also. Hope this helps.
I got the same issue .. and after googleing .. I found out that I have to unistall Facebook update ..delete my FB account from Account$Syncing in the settings .. and make a restart,, then add My FB again in Account&Syncing ..
Hello everyone... I apologize if this is a repost, but can't seem to find it.
My wife has an Galaxy S3, I have an One X. all of our accounts are synced and linked. (Facebook, Whatsapp, Gmail, etc) our problem is that in my ONE X in the people app I can't see her Updates nor can I see her Gallery from FB. I can se other peoples updates and gallery, and on her side, on the S3 contacts, she only sees my update from Google Talk, which we dont use at all, and cant seem to change it to any other account.
we both come from iPhones and this is a little frustrating having so many options now in android and not being able to use them right....
anyone having similar issues?
thanks beforehand ....
yes yes yes... I am a noob.....

A couple of things.
First, go in to "Settings>Accounts & sync" and make sure FB, Twitter, and LinkedIn are all set up to sync and that their settings are correct. Within each of them you should have choices about what to sync. For Twitter and LinkedIn there should be two of each of them. One for the standard app and one for HTC Sense that's used to keep the FriendStream updated. The LinkedIn connector for Sense isn’t installed by default. Go to “HTC Hub>Applications>Categories A~Z>HTC Essentials” and you’ll find it there.
Next, go in to "People" and at the top of your contact list there should be a "Notification" bar. Sense does a background scan looking for similar contacts that should be potentially linked (EG: phone, Twitter, FB). Go through that list and link or ignore the recommendations.
Lastly, go to "People>Manage contacts.
Go through "Merge Contacts" and consolidate any shown. If you have contacts that Sense doesn't recognize as similar you can also manually merge them to the correct contact so you don't have multiples for a single person. You should also run "De-duplicate." If you long press on a contact it will give you options to manage it also. This seems cumbersome and I had to stumble upon it at first but it works pretty well at keeping your contacts linked properly and current.
Thanks for the reply.
All of this is done. The problem comes when I go into a specific contact. I can see the linked accounts under the specific contact and on the bottom it shows tabs for Detail Thread Updates Gallery.
Under updates we should be able to see the updates from social accounts, like Facebook. Which I can see from other contacts, under gallery O should be able to see the photo gallery from my wife's Facebook account as well. The thing is nothing comes up. Only a message saying no updates or events and no albums when trying to access the gallery

check your settings on the facebook websites for what you want to see and for which you want to be notified and also delete sense from the allowed apps and retry again
Go to settings>apps>people>and erase data and force stop, it could help.

When I go there I see 3 People Apps. One has 348 kb the second one only 8 kb and the third one 0.0. Why would I have 3? Is it normal?

Hi,
Does Cyanogenmod 10 sync twitter/facebook contacts?
In my One X contact sync is enabled for Facebook, google, whatsapp and linkedin, but no for twitter. In Settings > account > twitter sync is enabled.
EDIT: I was wrong about Facebook contact sync. Even though its listed under the accounts to display contacts from, its empty, no contacts are shown. But in case of twitter its not even listed under the accounts to display contacts from.
AFAIK you need a 3rd party app (in HTC Sense they use Facebook for HTC Sense and Twitter for HTC Sense to sync)
You should try FriendCaster Pro or HaxSync from Play Store (which is not free)

I was wondering how it was working on sense ROM's. So HTC apps are the magic ingredients there. I hope Twitter ad Facebook fixes this in near future.
Hi,
I have purchased HaxSync back in ICS for bigger facebook covers photos on my ARHD. I wanna try CM10 Nightlies, but I'm not sure whether it will sync my contacts' facebook photos.
Can anyone clarify this?
Or is there another contacts app that can provide same thing (with or without HaxSync)?
Thanks,
It will sync the FB contacts and photos both.
