When I send a status message to Facebook from People Hub (and untick the Windows Live in People), it still sends the same status update to my Windows Live account and Messenger. Why?
SOLUTION:
I just remembered that this issue started to happen when I tied my Facebook chat to the new Windows Live Essentials 2011 (Messenger). Since the messenger syncs my Facebook chat (and also my status updates) with my Windows Live Messenger, the only way to solve this issue is to get rid of the connection to Facebook in your Windows Live account. Just tap your name in the Messenger and then tap "Show profile". From there, you can disconnect from Facebook.
Sorry,
But your post is useless and meaningless and nothing but detritus to the XDA community if you don't share your solution with us
Someone else may have the same problem as you, and search the forums for information and a possible answer.
If they're lucky sifting through the thousands of threads and posts they may find this thread you've started and think they've found a gold nugget, only to discover you were too lazy to share your solution
So please have a thought for others too

There you go (and all other members), I posted the solution. Sorry for my lazyness .

You don't need to disconnect Facebook. You can just uncheck the following

So far my only 1 contact have synch with the facebook profile.
I used to have to sense and there was a way to manually assign a facebook profile to a contact so it would "absorb" all the info, includying the profile pic.
Is there a way to do it in gingervillain, I know there are some apps for that, but I just want to know if its possible of doing it without one.
Thanks in advance for the help.
For me it synced pretty much the contacts, only a few remained due to incorrect e-mail addresses.
If you want to do it manually, then EDIT contact and then press menu then the option JOIN. You can now join with the FB and other profiles.
Well for some weird reason if I press join it only shows the ones that are in my contacts, but not a way to select a facebook account or any other account.
That might be because the visualization in contacts is set to "contacts with phone number only" but again its a nonsene...
Also I found this the other day:
With Gingerbread, Google removed support for facebook contact integration as well as facebook video upload from the gallery. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense to go backwards in facebook integration, but the two companies have been having a PR fight. So we, the android user, get to receive the negative consequences of a tech giant fight.
I now use the SyncMyPix app to sync fb profile pics with my contacts. Works really well if you have the correct first and last name.

Strange. It works for me :S
Download the facebook app and sync contacts from there (sync all contacts in the menu) - then you should be able to join.
Again the quote is right, but after downloading the facebook app, syncing all contacts it works for me as I mentioned before. BTW, I also have the option "contacts with phone number only" selected.
So i installed the Mango Beta, but i have had trouble setting up Facebook chat.
Every time i go to, it try to do it, it clearly tries to do some oAuth authentication. Most of the time i get a "The address is not valid" in a browser control. Sometimes i get another weird error (it hasn't come up in a while).
So I'm wondering if anyone else has tried this, if they have had they had any success, or if they have found a way around it?
I have tried over both 3g and Wifi.

It seems that you have to add the Facebook Service via Live so that the Facebook Chat gets enabled. I have managed to activate FB Chat on my phone now, but still there are no contacts online. Gonna have to look into that.
Some people said to delete the Facebook account from the phone and add it again but it didn't work for me, same error :/
Works fine for me, I already had fb connected to live though so try that

I already had it set up with live for 9months or so now.
But i just checked it now, and it enabled its self and is working AFTER (about 30minutes after) i went to account settings and syncronised my facebook account...
Its must just be a werid beta issue
I don't think it is a WP issue (well the whole page loading error is) but my contacts aren't populating the desktop client. Everyone has reported that once the desktop client populated with FB chat friends, that it immediately started working on their phone. So there is some issue going on between IM and FB.

My contacts are also not shown in the Windows Live Messenger. (I have to admit - I do not have the Messenger installed, but the contacts are not shown on the Windows Live Website neither)

I was able to force my Windows Live and Facebook accounts to sync up by just going to accounts and pressing them and choosing 'sync'. Did Windows Live first, then Facebook and a minute later all was well.

I was also able to get mine to work doing this.
Took a bunch of hours, but Facebook Chat finally works perfectly.
Mine says "error0" or something like that when go to my Facebook account in Email+Accounts, can't use Facebook chat.

Tried everything I can. Went into FB on my computer, deleted the Live Messenger client, re-installed. Everything, but nothing. When add friends, it says I either have no friends, or that I already invited them.
Dunno.

Set everything up, and just sit tight for a day. Let is all sink in.
I just got my fb chat working this is how you do it!
Disable facebook chat in the message settings.
Login to your live.com account you used for your phone.
add facebook if it's not under services already. it is click on it anyways and just then click on save. Back on live.com you should now see messenger friends, and it should show all the people facebook available for chat.
Now go to your phone, settings, email accounts, and sync the live account first, then sync your facebook account.
Go back to messaging and settingsm turn fb chat on and everyone should show up! Atleast this is what worked for me, but you have to login to live.com on your laptop, not your phone.

I just manually sync'd my account & it worked fine after... Took my phone a little to pull in my exchange contacts tho

Update: Got it working!
Here is how to connect your Messaging Hub to Facebook Chat:
On your phone, remove the Facebook account setup
On your PC (or in IE9 on the phone), go to home.live.com.
Under "Messenger social" click "Connect Facebook"
Go through the steps to connect Facebook to your Live account
On your phone, add the Facebook account under 'Settings' / 'Email and Accounts'
When it asks if you want to connect to Facebook Chat, tap 'Not now'.
Let it sync
Facebook Chat should automatically be activated as long as it has finished its initial syncing
If you want to check if it's activated:
Go to the Messaging Hub
Tap 'Settings'
Facebook Chat is the first option and should be activated. If not, you can activate it now.
Initial post: I have been attempting to setup Facebook Chat through the Messaging Hub in Mango, but after it says "We're connecting to Facebook" it just puts me on the Mobile version of my Facebook homepage but doesn't ask me to do anything and is not setup on the Messaging Hub when I hit the back arrow.
Has anyone had success connecting the Messaging Hub to Facebook Chat? If so, how did you go about doing it? Changing settings in IE9 doesn't seem to do anything about it.
Ahh same here, fb chat worked in mango b2 but once I updated to 7712 it stopped working

Mine wasn't working in the first Beta 2 either. I suppose this is a Beta limitation so hopefully it'll be fixed in the final version.
You can try linking your Facebook and Windows Live on your computer. I had this setup initially and never had a single issue with fb chat on any mango beta.

You can try the menthod i am trying.
1. Link your Live ID with Facebook (Piece of Cake), make sure you can chat with someone on Facebook through Windows Live Messenger (On the PC)
2. Add Facebook to your phone
3. Choose "not now" when it asks you if you want Facebook chat on yourphone
4. Let it sync
5. You are done.
If you don't understand that much, just shoot me a reply, i will guide you step by step.
Mine didn't work until I performed these steps....
1) Go to Home.Live.com and choose to sync Facebook with my Live account
2) Remove the Facebook account from my phone
3) Re-add the Facebook account to my phone
4) Re-attempt to enable Facebook Chat on my phone, which then worked properly
It's been great ever since!
Got it working! I deleted the Facebook account setup on my phone, associated my Live ID with Facebook through live.com, re-added the Facebook account on my phone, and it worked. Thank you guys!
I have my FB account linked to my Messenger.
In the WP7 'messaging' settings I've turned off the FB chat. However whenever I go online for Windows Live Messenger I seem to appear as 'online' on Facebook.
As a consequence I get Facebook messages delivered to Messaging, but because chat is turned off.. I can't actually reply to the messages.
It's very annoying.
My work around has been to go to http://touch.facebook.com > Chat > Go Offline.
Had anyone else experienced this problem &/or know of a solution?
Your phone settings will not change the computer settings. You have to turn off or unlink FB from your WLM if you don't wish to have chat on.
