Facebook Sync question

Hello all,
i'm running root with leedroid 1.7.
now i've used facebook on i believe defrost and i had some great sync options like, sync current contacts, which I'd like as to be honest a lot of my friends on fb are through a sport I play and we don't speak outside of the sport, so I don't need everyone listed in my phonebook.
the default facebook app in sense and the one on the market both have either sync or don't sync.
Is there a special fb apk I can use, or is this a strange sense limitation. I have twitter running too and I have the options I mentioned, but not for facebook.
TIA
Luke.

[Q] Contacts in Facebook app vs Facebook for HTC sense

Hi,
I am a bit confused with the data sources used for the HTC sense facebook app and the "official" facebook app. The story:
I used to have the normal, facebook for HTC sense. I do not remember if there was another facebook app in the application list (standard 2.1 ROM).
I used to have my contacts in there and could link them to my Exchange contacts. When the latest version of the facebook app came out, I installed it and it worked fine. I did not try to link contacts for a while.
Recently I discovered that there are some of the contacts in the facebook app that are not in the list of linkable contacts. I suspected that the official and the HTC app used different datasets. So I tried to open the HTC version without success. I could not find a link to it, only to the official app. But both are in the application list. Also, in the market, I cannot uninstall the new app completely, only remove the updates. I have done this, and also removed the facebook for HTC sense account, to reset and re-download all contacts from the web.
When I try to reinstall the account now, it shows me next to flickr etc a facebook and a facebook for HTC account in the list, but I can only create one for the HTC version. I did this, but now, the list of the contacts is empty when I try to link exchange data to facebook contacts.
I can reconnect facebook before an after the update to the online version and download the contacts which will be shown in the actual application, but the "Link to" will not show any contacts anymore.
Any suggestions?

[Q] MIUI_Au v4 2.2.24 Beta “Calendar Sync is Fixed"

Hi
Miui_Au is fantastic and I have never had a problem installing or running this ROM.
I installed MIUI_Au v4 2.2.24 Beta, as under Applications the second on the list is “Calendar Sync fixed”
The Calendar Sync is very important for me as all my work reminders are stored on my Google Calendar. I see the Calendar Sync is now fixed. How do I activate this on my phone? When I go to Settings/Accounts and Sync, my Google account does not show Calendar Sync.
I expect there is something very obvious I should be doing.
Thanks.

Hi
Bumping this up as I'm sure someone knows the answer
Thanks

Check your settings in Calender as it will show what accounts are syncing to your Calender. There is also another release of miui-au 2.3.2 so maybe just flash the new rom instead.

Facebook Inside Xperia Incorrect Birthdays

Am I the only one which notices that the birthdays of my friends through the FBiX service are one day ahead of what they are supposed to be? Any fix?
Sent from my LT15a using XDA

Same problem here on my old Lt15i and on my current LT26i.
But I saw the same problem in other models, such as the Samsung Galaxy. The only thing in common was the version of Android, 2.3.x

its most likely a bug/error in the app
-if you've haven't updated FbiX try updating it
-if its been updated, its probably an error on the FbiX app and facebook has to fix it
an android version of any phone has nothing to do with the problem, its the app itself which has to be fixed/updated

I've had innumerable errors when using Sony's Facebook Inside Xperia. Plus syncing events and birthdays used to eat up my data. So have frozen all except the fb main app and Messenger.
I've exported all to Google Calendar and synced with my account. Plus it has this nifty feature wherein it can SMS you a day prior to the birthday. Never miss a birthday again! :highfive:
For fb contact pictures, I'm using HaxSync.

same problem here.... if anyone discover a fix, please share it with us...

[Q] Facebook sync

Hi,
i feel a bit like a noob but i can't seem to find the answer...
The setting:
Unlocked international One X, rooted (via htc dev), Clockwork Mod. Previously using MaXimus 6.0 (so with sense, and "facebook for sense")
Wanted 4.2.1 so used that rom > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2013506
The problem:
My contacts don't sync with facebook
- Facebook freshly installed (and re-installed) and up to date
- account set-up
- facebook contact synchronisation activated (and proceeded without any error) and appearing in contact app
Avatar only showing default or google account pic, no facebook picture.
What am i missing here?
Thanks

try removing the account and relog in

Already tried to:
- uninstall then reinstall Facebook app.
- deleting and recreating Facebook account
- disabling and re-enabling Facebook contact sync
No progress so far.

Did you try HaxSync from PlayStore?

Is that a sense rom?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No, it's AOSP. So there is no, like in Sense Roms, straight syncing in pure Android OS with Facebook...

What's the point of Facebook contact synch then?
Synching Facebook stored contact infos, just not the profile pic?

For AOSP based ROMs (CM, AOKP, etc) HaxSync app is the viable solution and it is quite good, pictures (highres), events, calenda.
