I was using SPB Mobile Shell 3 on my last phone, and loved the ability to grab contact photos for my friends from Facebook. Is there any way of doing this with the TP2? If not, is there any way of using that part of SPB Mobile Shell functionality without losing TouchFlo?
TF3D gives you the ability of creating a favourite contacts list and allows you to connect to facebook for photos, it also gives mini updates and birthday information which is pretty handy.
I tried this one unsuccessfully. It listed my Facebook friends, etc. but when I tried to grab the photo, it just had the default picture with a Facebook icon on it
Works great here! Dutch version.

Yes, it does only use the Default photo. Try a program called BookSync, think this gives you more options but the developer is really good, so will adapt the program to suit needs most of the time.
i find the facebook integration on tflo3d excellent, would be nice to be able to set a different update option (its every 2 hours and i cant see a way of changing that) but the way it pulls photo and a little bit of info is great and works really well.
which facebook app are people using?
I'm using standard TF3D interface, working well
I'm using v1.0.0.7 of the "official" facebook app (i.e. the downloadable app from facebook.com). It's supposed to integrate with the WM phonebook but I can't find any menu options for that (e.g. to download photos, personal details, etc). Has anyone else managed to work out WM contact integration with this app??
the built in application didn't work for pictures, but I got tip for a SkyBook as per here http://www.magnifoca.com/download_skybook.html and it worked .. so now I got finally all the pictures updated
My problem with BookSync is that it requires .net 3.5.
Why??? It can't possibly need that.
Well it's strange, on most of my contacts the integrated app works fine. But for some contacs which 100% have a pictre, it just doesn't fetch it. The contact is linked, but the photo just not shown. Anyone has the same problem? or even better a solution?

Usually happens when you're too quick at linking the contact then leaving that contact and going to the next screen. Go back into the contact andclick on updates. Then click the menu on the right and click on the "Get Photo" again and stay in that page, it should bring it down.
Anyway to avoid having TF3D erase my original picture from teh profile with the facebook one ?

Thanks. I was not even daring to try
Ok Guys , here is an important question
I have about 177 friends that are on my TP2 phone book and also on my facebook.
It's a pain in the back to link each persons profiles to the phone book of the TP2.
Imagine you hard reset TP2 , you must do all this linking one by one again and again.....
Is there a way to Copy to facebook links to each dedicated peson. I would like to copy this file and overright the new file after a hard reset or phone change.
For example I also have a Touch HD with Rhodium Rom on it, when I moved all my contacts fom HD to touch Pro 2 , the facebook links did not transfer so I had to re-link this 177 persons one by one.
There are some facebook files, I copied some of them, overwrote the existing files but it didn't work.
I'm 100 % sure when there is a new ROM for the TP2 all of you will be looking for the same answer, let's find a solution for this now before it's too late )))

+1 to this suggestion.
However, if you sync it with your PC, shouldn't you be able to re-sync everything, including FB links? No?
Alternatively, there is a program I found called PIMBackup (google it! XD) that might do the trick of saving your contacts and their FB links in the event of a hard reset, but I honestly don't know, since I haven't hard reset my device as of yet.
I've been there , I ve done that
Outlook Synch or PIM BACKUP or Sprite Backup - NOTHING HELPS !!!!
All Facebook links to your contacts are disappeared............ when you hard reset your phone, image upgrading to other HTC Touch phone, same story, everything is gone.... You must re link all your facebook contacts to your TP2 contacts.
It's same with Diamond 2 and guys who use HD with Rhodium/Diamond Roms.
We need a solution for this !!!!!!!
Any body got an idea for this problem ???
We'll loose all facebook links to our contacts after a hard reset !!! How to backup and restore them ?
Anybody managed to restore the Facebook links to your contacts after a Hard Reset or a ROM UPDATE ?
Because I have like 177 contacts that also has Facebook links to their contacts.
I don't want to link each 177 contact one by one after the ROM UPDATE .
Anybody found a smart solution for this ?
???????
i found there is a file called facebookinfo.vol ..
is that the file records everything?
wait me a moment...
U can use splbackup to test it..

yes there s a quick way.
1. Make sure that you've configured your facebook account at settings->my ocntact card
2. go to all all people, then choose the 3rd icon "updates and Events"
3. Use this page to all TP2 to auto search facebook contacts to match with existing contacts (this assumes taht you've synced your phone and updated your contaacts already. thsi should be done before step 1)
HTH
Poch
my links are working after rom upgrade...

Yes and I have to do that 177 times, I'm just looking for a easier method.
Also there is another reality, not all of my contacts are stored in the same name as their Facebook accounts :
For example..... "Richard Mobile" as seen on my phone, but on his Facebook it shows Richard XXXX , so I must manually link the contact to facebook link.
The very best idea is to copy some files before Rom Update and then Replace these files with the new ones after the Rom Update.
I need to know which files are these ???

Mine did it one pass with minimal intervention. It knew which ones weren't synced and made it made a best-guess and presented me with a list of them all in one go.
I suspect the Facebook integration is done via a hidden field in the Contact. If you can determine that you can reset it to force it.
just backup your facebookinfo.vol and pim.vol. Tried it and works.

This sounds interesting, can you confirm all contacts linked perfectly and updating correctly as it should do ?
facebook
I Don't even have anything to show a link with facebook in my people tab. On other HTC phones I have seen an "updates and events" tab, should this be present on the TP2?
I would like to retrieve the details from my Facebook frields list etc, but I can't see anyway of doing this in the people tab

Same with me, i want to select a person and then browse for their picture from my facebook friends - SPB mobile shell 3 lets me do this, but i dont want to install that just to do it.......i might have to though
Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?
If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.
Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.
Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person
yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.
even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?
pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.
Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,

I may flash a custom Gingerbread ROM a few months down the road but I'm staying stock until the hardware checks out. The only thing I don't like about Sense is it's gone and added a ton of Facebook friends with phone numbers to my contact list and I really don't want them. Is there a way to remove them? I can't seem to find a simple solution.
Thanks in advance.

I just double checked, contacts aren't being synced for Android Facebook or Sense Facebook. When I go into the contacts app (I think it's called People) I have set my 70 contacts from Facebook for Sense to not be viewed, but they still appear in the list of people to call or send messages to. I don't care if they're there, but at the least I don't want to see them. I have them hidden in contacts but they appear in Handcent and Phone anyway.
Did you ever in the past link up FB contacts to an android phone? In that case I believe it also syncs up with Google's contacts in the cloud...but I may be mistaken
Yeah this got posted a while back, I know what you mean it's annoying. It meant my phone tried to sync a ton of stuff I didn't want to my car stereo unit via Bluetooth.
Someone did post up a solution, try a search for Facebook and contacts.
So I have asked this before and never got an answer maybe 2 times a charm?
Currently using miui and I want to perma delete contacts from address book. However(and i think this is the case for all builds of android) when you go to delete a number you get a message saying "you cannot delete contacts from read only accounts, but you can hide them in your contacts lists)
if you ask me thats effin stupid. I know Im not the only one who has accidentally synced everyone on facebook friends list to phone. I deleted from contacts on the google site where they sync but they are still on phone.
someone please tell me there is a way to perma delete cpontacts? pls pls pls
thanks

Try going to:
Settings ->
Accounts & Sync ->
Click on the Facebook account ->
Uncheck Sync Contacts
Not sure if it's relevant in this case, as this app only removes access restrictions to facebook contact photos. But it might be worth a try anyway. Have not posted enough yet to include working external url, pffffffffffffffff
