Hi all,
I use Leedroid GB Rom in my desire. I added Facebook account through Friendcaster and it appeared under accounts and sync option in account settings and i synced the contacts of FB via friendcaster. In my people app, under the view option, that account is not visible. But when i install Go contact, i can see all the contacts. Why does this happen. IS this a problem with Friendcaster or Leedroid GB Rom. Help Appreciated.
Thanks
I think you must sign in via 'Facebok for HTC Sense' for the contact sync to work....
Or, if adding your account to the Facebook for Sense doesn't work at all, try deleting your Facebook accounts and re-add them. Sometimes that does the trick. I don't know why, but it helped me with similar sync problems.

Hey so I just flashed Froyo on my phone and everything seems to be in perfect working order. Except I try to add facebook to my list of accounts to sync and I hit add account, select facebook and then it brings me right back to the accounts and sync page with the add account button at the bottom but facebook is not added to the list of accounts set to sync. Only google is there, as it was before I tried to add facebook. Any ideas as to why this is? Keep in mind, this isn't really a SYNCING issue it is more about even giving the program permission to sync.
I use an HTC Aria and with the CM6 Froyo ROM released for me I experience the exact same problem you are describing so you are not alone.
I had the same problem guys. You need to log in to you facebook account in Friends Stream in order to have your contacts sync
Hi, with my stock ROM i was able to synchronize contacts from Facebook. I moved to GigenVillain and I'm not able to do this anymore. Is it because of non-Sense ROM ? Do you think it will come anytime soon ?
Thanks
No it's just you. Sense masked it more easy, for noobs basically whereas native Android is more advanced shall we say.
Anyway, to sync contacts install the Facebook app and sign into the app. When it asks you to sync pick an option and it will sync your contacts just fine. If it doesn't sync to a contact, edit the contact your want then press menu, join and select a Facebook contact so it can join with your regular contacts.
Its just more or less the same as sense but like I said, sense is designed for noobs.

I tried this but facebook doesnt even sync the contacts to my phone.
i had this problem when making my own rom. i found if i left facebook app in the rom, i could add it to the sync menu. if i removed it, then when in the sync menu, i would press facebook but nothing would happen and it wouldnt appear in the contacts either.
hope this helps
Well if Facebook isn't syncing then it's a problem with either Facebook or your phone or something not contacting Facebook. Something along those lines. Just uninstall it then install it again but wipe the data in Settings > Applications first. See if that works. If not then go to Settings > Accounts and Sync and see if you can do anything in there once Facebook is installed.
Hey,
i just installed the new GingerVillain on my Desire.
But for some reason the sync of Contacts with Facebook doesnt work. It's enabled in the account settings as well as in the facebook app but my contacts dont get the pictures they have on facebook..
any idea how to solve this?
I have a problem on the photo sync with the facebook. Some contacts are automatically sync with the facebook once I have login thro the facebook apps and the HTC sense friendstrem. In the sms apps (original one), the photos of the contacts are linked, but many of them are missed even I have sync with fb. I need to manually solve it by editing the contacts are save it, then the photos with come out. However, may be 1 or 2days later, the photos are missed again, I need to manually do it again. May I know how to solve it? Is it my problem only? thx!!
Set facebook in settings to "sync all contacts." Then go to the settings of your phone>accounts & sync>and add account for facebook. Now sync contacts. When the name the contact in the phone does not "fit" to the name of this contact in facebook, you have to join them yourself:
Choose the corresponding accout>menu>edit contact>menu>join. Now choose the corresponding contact in facebook.
So i do it and all works fine.
Hope this could help you.
Hi,
yesterday I went to CM7 ROM on my Desire/Bravo GSM. Everything works fine, but when I want to log into my FB account to sync contacts and mainly FB events (I want to have them in my calendar) it cant be done.
In Accounts & Sync ive Twitter, Company mail, Google account and FB. Twitter, CM and GM works fine but when i press Add account and select Facebook it brings me back to "Add account screen".
Is it normal?
Thx for answer
Tom
