Hi there!
I don't use fb, so I have disabled all related apps. But when I check the taskmanager, there is "facebook for HTC Sense" always listed. I don't want to have facebook running on my phone, so, how can I get rid of it?
Thank you for your help!

Go into settings, then apps, click on all, go down to facebook for sense, then disable .

That's what I've already done, as I wrote before. It won't stop running
Sucks it can't be deleted. Only the updates and its annoying that the update keeps popping up.

After wiping or flashing a new Rom, I usually add my HTC Sense account under Accounts&Sync settings...
After doing that, Sense always automatically downloads and installs about 5-6 widgets from HTC Hub...
Is there a way to turn this off?
I had downloaded these widgets manually on another Rom, but didn't use them and even uninstalled them. Still, Sense redownloads them automatically on every new Rom... Kinda annoying.
Any help appreciated!

Skip putting in your gmail details at first boot.
Then untick the automatically restore apps option in one if the settings menus.
Then add your account details.

That works for the Google account, but I'm talking about the HTC Sense account here... (the one used for downloading widgets etc. from HTC Hub)
Thanks anyway!

I just noticed that if i choose an image other than the facebook picture, then it will show in applications

my missus has the one x and has the same problem. i resolved it by downloading "friendcaster" and that allowed the facebook pictures to show in handcent/go sms
Yeah i know but i wanted to see if im not the only one. I am using syncmypix to do the job but i was wondering what might be causing the issue :/
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
apparently an ICS problem, I get the problem on my GNEX too
Yeah or it could be the apps have compatibility isuues with ics. The pictures show fine in people and dialer.

All you need to do is download the app Photo Unlocker. Your Facebook Sense photos are restricted from being used in other apps, but this app unlocks them so they can be seen in all 3rd party apps.
Edit: I noticed this app isn't in the market anymore. I have a titanium backup of it, so if anyone tells me how to get the APK from there, I can post it here.

Yes that's correct
The solutions i found is by using an app called HaxSync.

Just to confirm recent whatsapp has updated and does.pull through contact pictures inc Facebook
I still didnt get the update. Will keep you posted when I do to confirm!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Neither can i find any of the mentioned software, nor i received an update for whats app... Can you share the app mentioned on the previous page.
THanks.
Yeah i still havent got the whatsapp update. Heres the link for haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en
Its the only app that worked for me cz i didnt wanna set up friend caster.
Talking about whatsapp does anyone else get the message "try again later" when sending a picture to someone?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
ANy other fix on this then rather than using a 3rd party utility?
Not that i'm aware of!
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah I have the same problem.
Whatsapp doesn't show contacts (facebook)profile pictures.
Running all the latest Market versions of Facebook, whatsapp en handheld SMS.
There are no more updates so far.
Still no profile pics in whatsapp contacts list.
Anyone has a solution by now?
And dortok, can u upload that app Photo Unlocker please?
Is it possible to do something with Facebook for HTC Sense app, like delete or whatever?? Maybe fixes it?
It says Facebook for HTC Sense version 4.0.2215172619.345324.334711
Or clicking info: Version 1.00.0101.62864
Anyone help us out???
The only solution i have found is to use HaxSync from google play! It works like a charm!
I dont like friend caster since it is an app like facebook so more traffic and more data usage. Haxsync just syncs the pics and you can specify how often.

Hi,
Ever since I started using one x I have been receiving popup like sms messages. My previous phone was not a smart phone and I was not.receiving these. Please refer this image http://db.tt/l3PuMAd3
Is there a way I can disable them from phone itself?

Are you using the stock HTC messaging app? If not, that could be the source. Also, have you installed any apps that have ads? That could also cause your popups.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
I am using stock messaging app. I have a bunch of apps installed, but how can I know which one is the culprit.

It's not something to do with your carrier is it? For example, with Vodafone you can get stuff text daily from them. In the app draw there's a Vodafone one that I can select news, weather, jokes, horoscopes etc.
Thats an alert message. I stumbled across how to make that happen on any phone a while ago.
When you send a text message put !! As the first two characters. It then by passes all app settings and pops up.
Never posted as it would be abused.......

Hi folks,
Got the problem above, used to work fine but the notifications don't show anymore... Already logged out, uninstalled and installed updates, cleared cache and also tried the Blackberry workaround... Still no luck...
Any suggestions or ideas I can get the notifications work?

Please advise

mine stopped too around juli 29th, my guess it's a server side issue, it happened before in the past.

Check that Google Talk connects to the Google Servers - you don't need to use it - but all push notifications will stop if Google Talk cannot connect to the Google Servers.

Hmmm... Now that could be a possibility, how do I check that?
I did notice google talk with contacts showing offline when they are actually online

I removed the permissions on facebook (the website) for sense and deleted all data for all 3 friendstream apps, after a while I got one message, unfortunately it was the last messege I had already recieved. I really believe it's a serverside issue. I have seen this before, also with other 3rd party FB widget....

To rule out a push notification (C2DM) issue - you need another app that uses Push Notifications - like Twitter or something.
Got Twitter and that doesn't give any notifications either...
Do you think factory reset will help? Don't want to go through that do formatting, installing apps etc for nothing..

OK - so try the following:
Open Google Talk - Sign Out. Sign back in.
Check Android Settings > Accounts & Sync to see if there is a problem with the Sync service.
Check Auto Sync is switched on - and try toggling it off and back on.
Reboot the phone.
For info - I am getting Tweets and Facebook notifications fine here - so there is nothing wrong with either service.
Check the links above, you might receive some types of notifications but all, it's a confirmed server side error
Ah well guess I'm gonna need to wait till the next update is out...
What I don't understand how my girlfriends phone (which s exactly the same as mine) is working fine with all notifications

I don't know, really....if you check their bug tacker it could be all sorts of issue where messages made from certain apps don't trigger notifications, there are many different types of notifications, some migh work, some might not. I got using facebook via mobile apps (htc, samsung other 3rd party apps)since 2010 and it just happened a few times before and then after a while it will start working again.
If you want it working use the official facebook app, it usually keeps working until the problems are fixed. If you have cleared the data for friendstream and facebook, removed the right of the friendstream app and started over there is nothing more you can do
I am using the official facebook app (came with the phone) and never used friend stream or tweetdeck..
I have done a factory reset and also disabled friendstream but still no notification... Rage !!

This is crazy because my phone I receive notifications from Facebook app and the twitter app it didn't when I got the phone but I disabled all notifications in app and then enabled them
I started to get them I get message notifications and post notifications not had issue since
So this can't be just down to servers its like the phone is refusing them nothing much else I can suggest lol

Hey there,
After I moved to the AOSP ROMs from the Sense based ROMs one thing that is very frustrating is the ability to synch my contacts with the FB (especially pictures). Sense used to do this very nicely.
I tried couple of apps from the Market but they didnt do a great job. Currently using an app called "contact picture sync" from Market but its not very accurate.
Are there any better alternatives you're using for this?
Unfortunately no. Google removed that possibility some time ago from AOSP. Either switch back to Sense or get use to to the way third party apps are handling it.
Haxsync is supposedly good, but it is a paid app.
