[Q] HTC Sense Droid Inc2 - FB contact Linking? - Verizon Droid Incredible 2

I would like to find out if there's an app for syncing my phone contacts with their fb accounts? I'm on Mod Version: cyanogenmod7-09292011-NIGHTLY-inc2. Thanks

I think you should be able to use the official facebook app. When you install that, the first time you run it it asks you if you want to import your facebook contacts.
Not sure though, I haven't installed it recently.

Thanks, but I think its because I'm still using nightly builds of cm7 without the 3.0 sense I'm not able to link contacts via fb.

Uhh...no. that shouldn't be it. I've used cyanogen. The contacts automatically link for me usually, just by me clicking "Sync with existing contacts."

Ditto, it does the same for me. There is an app on the market called SyncMyPix which does this if you can't get the FB sync to work right.

Sense uses Facebook for HTC Sense which does this.
On CM7 just sync within facebook app.
Easy as pie. If you are having issues then clear data within app and reinstall. You should be able to get it to work on first shot.

What??? I am confused as to what you want. Do you have a sense rom. Is it custom or stock. If you want to sync Facebook contacts with regular contacts and you have a sense based custom rom you should have no problem unless you or the rom Creator deleted the Facebook for HTC apk. That is the one that syncs Facebook contacts to regular contacts.
Or you could search the market for an app that will sync the contacts together. I know there is one there but I forgot the name of the app. Just go over to the market and do a search.

[Q] adding birthdays to contacts

I would like to add birthdays to my contacts in the contact list is there a way to do it?
I used to have an option for it on my eris but cant find it on my DINC
Thanx Rob
Are you using the People app? When I click on a contact and click Edit, there's a button to add their birthday.

Open the contact, hit menu, hit edit. There should be a birthday in there.

The people app brings up your contacts. You can also get to it through your dialer.

Could be on an AOSP ROM. I don't know if you can add birthdays there.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
There are three easy ways to do it:
1: Sync with Outlook. When you have all contacts in Outlook, edit particular contacts, select Details and you'll see a place for Birthday. Then sync again.
2: Link contacts with their Facebook page. It's amazing how many people put their birthday on that site. It will fill in the date all by itself.
3: Hit Edit on a contact and there is a big button named Birthday, click that...
Pics for 1 & 2
Again, that's great for Sense ROMs, but given that he keeps insisting it's contacts he's probably on an AOSP ROM.

cyanogen stabile 6.1 is my rom thats prob my problem
Add birthday to a Google contact on your computer. It will sync and you can have it show up in your calendar. That is assuming you have a google account.

Which rom's allow faceboock calendar sync?

Hey,
I'm looking for a gingerbread rom that has facebook calendar sync. I remember being on one that allowed it. But I don't remember which one and don't wanna try flash through each one to find it.

Virtuous 2.0 has it
Just checked my Virtuous 2.0 Calendar, and under the Menu -> More -> Calendars I see the facebook calendar as one of the ones I have.

That's a Sense feature. AOSP ROMs seem to not have it. Kinda sad. Maybe when Facebook hopefully updates the app to solve the Contact Sync policy issue with Google, they will add calendar support ? Fat chance, I know. But it's nice to dream

+1. Your best bet is to flash a Sense based ROM. I haven't seen any app (yet) that allows for your facebook calendar to be synced. If you do find one though (an app) let us know! As much of a fan as I am to Sense, I'm hooked on ICS at the moment and just waiting patiently for an ICS ROM with Sense 4.0 =)

Facebook Sync, jellybean

Hey all,
What I'm looking for sounds simple to me, but seems to be a challenge.
I want to sync facebook, now you will say haxsync or friend caster, but they don't sync phone numbers. I'm looking for a way to make the stock Facebook app sync with the phone
Thanks
Only way is to use a rom that allows you to flash a facebook sync mod like this where it enables it on the rom or has it already built in.
Its taken out of the stock rom thats why everyone recommends HaxSync, I'm sure you already know this but adding a Facebook account on the stock rom doesn't do anything.

I've been using haxsync for awhile, but only just realized it doesn't sync numbers. Checking out the link you posted
Thanks!

Try Contapps in the market... it syncs with Facebook and if there are those that don't sync (different spelling, etc.) then you can manually link them to whatever contacts to facebook friends...
i was looking for this as well and i came across this thread for ICS FB sync. it worked for me! (but u should backup first, just in case)

That ROM is for ICS..will the mod work for stock JB?

HTC 10 No longer scapes Facebook for contacts

Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated
Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.
I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.
Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.

What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I'm not sure. All I know is that I could add my Facebook account and it'd match names and photos

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!
My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.
Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page
Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

Not compatible with device.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?
