Stupid question, but is there a way to change which account name is being displayed at the upper left-hand corner of the quick settings? It used to say my name from my Google account, but after I logged into Twitter and authroized HTC Sense to access my Twitter account, it's been using my Twitter name.
I've de-authorized my Twitter account from HTC, logged out of Twitter, and also de-installed it to get it to change back, but no dice. Any ideas?
Maybe log into Google+? That worked for me on Vanir. Awesome rom btw.

I clicked on all options and menus but couldn't find anything giving you the choice to arrange contacts by first name rather than last.
I just can't believe there is no such option, is there anyway to make this work or should I just learn everyone's last name from now on.
Another surprise was that the alarm doesn't work when the phone is switched off
Are these Windows Mobile issues or HTC, I never had a mobile phone before not being able to do the above.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
Scroll to the bottom of the person's contact card and select "More". It'll open up the WinMo Contact information screen (rather than HTC's). From here there is an option to "File as", select the one that has the first name out front. Lather, rinse...
Windows Mobile defaults to "Last,First" , and this is the only fix I can think of. As for changing the default, I've never found an option for it (although there may be a registry entry SOMEWHERE.
Terribly sorry if you have to do this for all of your contacts - I hope your list isn't toooo big.

Anyone else having this problem?
I've been able to add the 'Facebook for HTC Sense' but when I go to 'Add account', the Android Facebook app shows up but selecting doesn't do anything?
I have the same problem. Go to add a account, but selecting it does nothing. It's therefore not updating my contact pictures from Facebook anymore.....
Anyone help?

Did you install the update for the Android version from the market by any chance?

The same problem for me. What is it supposed to do? "Facebook for HTC Sense" works well and there is a separate Facebook App. I don't recall seeing it in this list before I upgraded.

Yup... It did sync originally, but the same picture remains even if their FB prof pic has changed since...
The only thing I can think that I've done is removed the FB (non sense) from the accounts and sync list. Trying to add it back in doesn't work. Facebook highlights, but no options appear.....
Arse.
just do it in the app itself. when i tap it in mine after a hard reset, it opens the app.

It works for me. I've never opened Facebook in the Sync Settings, just the HTC one. You could try unlinking it all and re-linking it.
I've tried unlinking and relinking but it still doesn't change the picture. It updates the status and events within the contact, but its almost like there is a block on updating the photo....
Not a massive deal, but its just irritating me now!
Have you tried unlinking and re-linking a particular contact? If it works, do the rest. A right pain in the neck but worth it, if it works.

Yes, I've tried it on a couple of different contacts that have the FB link and have updated their photo since first sync, but no joy....
I've noticed some friends photos aren't updating, some others are though. One is stuck on their profile photo he used in March (now different) but another changed the other day.
Their Status Updates are updating though. Weird!
Whenever I send an email from my gmail account from WP7 on my HD2 it shows up as from "al n" instead of my full name. I might have put this in somewhere quickly when setting it up, but I don't remember where and can't find it anywhere. My gmail name is my full name, and my windows live name is my full name. Does anyone know where I can change this?

Thanks, that did it. It was actually my google account name that wasn't my full name. The strange thing is that WP7 is the only thing I have ever seen use my the name on my google account - gmail pulls the name I have in Gmail.
Thanks again.
Hi,
This may sound really stupid but how the heck do you add your contact in text? I want to send a text but cant see where i can click to then pick the contact i want to send it to?
Matt

Hi,
Yeah i can see the "To" but if i click it or in the box it does nothing. Surely i dont have to start to type the name in and then click it?
Thats exatually what you do
select the box and start type the name of your contact
What else would you do ?

Every phone ive ever had including the galaxy s2 when you clicked in the to box it would bring uo your contact list letting you choose the contact.
Matt
You can also go to the contact list and choose to text
Go to Phone Icon > People tab, then click on the left box where their photo is.
Then on the right side of the phone number is an icon i can't describe, but that lets you text.
yeah many phones do that
But i would always search in the list anyway so for me this is a step less

but you can sync your gmail contacts with facebook profile pictures by using third party software just search here, there are lots of ways to do it

Probably not because Facebook are jerks..
NOTE: I am not the developer of this app, I have simply decided to create a thread about this on XDA.
NOTE 2: Using this app will get you all of your facebook contacts, regardless of whether you have a matching name in your contacts or not.
EDIT: Working fix (UNTESTED BY ME) found by droppedd and Ovalteenies:

In the People app: Overflow menu (the two dots) -> Contacts to display -> Customize -> HaxSync: Uncheck "All Contacts."

NOTE 3: This app does not sync phone numbers, only hi res pics, RECENT updates (not all of them will have status updates) and allows you to view their wall from the contact app.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey everyone,
I stumbled upon an app called HaxSync which basically makes facebook sync for devices with Ice Cream Sandwich possible. I have tested this myself with this rom and this kernel. Not only does this app give you hi-res pictures from facebook, it also gives you recent status updates, and a quick link on each contact for viewing their facebook wall.
The app can be found here
Yes, it costs a dollar but trust me, in the end its worth having these hi-res pics on the amazing Galaxy Nexus screen
How to use the app:
1.) Install official Facebook App.
2.) Go to System Settings => Accounts & Sync (Android Settings, not Facebook App Settings).
3.) Click "Add Account" => HaxSync.
4.) Click "Authorize HaxSync".
5.) Confirm Authorization
6.) Wait for HaxSync to finish syncing.
7.) You should now see your Facebook contacts in the Android "People"-App.
NOTE: The one thing that doesn't work yet, is syncing the phone number of each contact but it can be added manually(scroll down to the second part).
Alternatively, you can add facebook pictures manually if you wish to do so, but it is fairly cumbersome, especially if you have many contacts
NOTE 2 : I am in no way affiliated with the creator of the app, I'm simply trying to help my fellow XDA members by providing them with the best experience possible.
ISSUES/PROBLEMS WITH APP
-Phone numbers don't sync
-Can't see current status of contact (e.g. available, away, busy, etc - probably not meant to be implemented in this app as of yet, so not really a defect.)
HOW TO SYNC FACEBOOK PICTURES WITH EXISTING APPS MANUALLY
1.) Open the facebook app
2.) Click the menu button located on the top right of the facebook app, and search for the appropriate contact.
3.) Find a picture of them
4.) Click menu, set as, and contact icon
5.) Navigate to the appropriate contact, or if necessary create a new one.
Thats it! Pretty simple, but with the app above, you get facebook status updates, hi res pics and a quick link in each contact to view their profile on facebook
HOW TO SYNC FACEBOOK NUMBERS WITH CONTACTS
1.) Open the facebook app
2.) Search for the appropriate contact
3.) Click send a text message
4.) Long press the number
5.) Copy it
6.) Open the people app
7.) Click create a contact
8.) Long press the space in the phone slot provided
9.) Paste the number
Im already using it since yesterday, and it works.
The thing is that i had to link the profiles it manually for around 90% of my contacts. Probably would have the same problem with the official, so it's ok.
Also, after the work doing all this merge work, I'd lost everything after update the app by market. Not cool.
Still, I reccomend it.
Anyone know how to restore which contacts are merged past a data wipe? This is by far the most time consuming part of flashing new roms for me.
Link doesnt work can you please post a new one?

Same here would love to filter just contacts with phone numbers.
Also only 10% of my contacts synced. Only one pulled in Facebook status

No, I highly doubt it, as the app is meant to sync all the facebook contacts.

As mentioned in my post, I'm fairly certain that it must be a fairly recent status. I also don't have all my contacts updated with statuses.
Also, a simple thanks would be nice guys

If your existing contacts were synced with your gmail account you can select "contacts to display" in the people app and choose to show only your gmail contacts. The ones with a facebook account should automatically link to your gmail contact, otherwise you can manually link them.

In the People app: Overflow menu (the two dots) -> Contacts to display -> Customize -> HaxSync: Uncheck "All Contacts." You'll only see HaxSync contacts that exist in one of your other contact providers after that; just make sure you've manually joined any people the app couldn't autojoin beforehand (for example, if they had their name spelled differently on GMail and Facebook).
