There is nothing wrong with eitheryour HD2 or Facebook; the problem is with a particular tweak that I find irrevocabley pernicious across my phones! It ALWAYS causes my ELF, Diamond, and HD2 to behave erratically and without adding the alleged performance boost everyone is convinced it does!
I have tried it, it caused my album to lose the ability to load Facebook photos, fixed that, recreate the problem and saw the same result, and finally fixed it again!
NOTE:Most of our tweaking apps apply this legacy em3.w tweak mindlessly to our wm6.x systems.
The fix is simple:
After you have applied all your performance tweaks, go into your registry and:
1. Navigate to \HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATFS
2. Change the DWORD value "CacheSize" to 0
3. Reboot
4. Launch Album, goto Facebook albums, load your favorite one, browse the pics
5. Rejoice!
Cheers

Go into your registry
Or you just download the hotfix at the official HTC site....
Hi shirreer,
thanks a lot for this, unfortunately this seems not to be the problem I'm facing. This Reg is on 0 already.
I've been using a lot of Manila versions (currently 20142924)
But also 2011 and 2012 had the same issue.
Maybe its the FacebookSDK build in the ROMS I used so far. Dutty once issued an different one, but with this album works, but contacts doesn't any more....
Thanks although.
Oh hey, that works nicely. Guess there is such a thing as too many tweaks. Heh! Don't generally use the feature, but it's nice to have it working anyway.

Do you know if this hotfix is available somewhere for custom ROMS? Anyone extracted it from the official one?
Edit: I found the files from the hotfix and installed them, no change (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5989296&postcount=12)
I don't have a Leo, but this fix works for me on my Raphael & Rhodium: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=268518&d=1263662460
It simply creates a folder called "PINET_ROM" in the root of your device. The FacebookSDK.dll is hard-coded to look for Flash Storage there, but for some reason, the driver that's supposed to create the folder (OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL) doesn't mount the drive properly (or something like that). So this should get the online Album working. Also, make sure these registry keys are set so that you see the option to view FB Albums for linked contacts:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableOnlineAlbum"=dword:1
"Facebook.Disable"=dword:0
(The latter value shouldn't actually be there at all)
The downside here, of course, is that the Facebook Online Album cache is going to take up quite a bit of storage on your device, but for you Leo users, I assume that's not a big deal, right?

Hi Captain_Throwback!
I cannot believe it, as my Reg-Key on my TD2 Rom (Yin.09) was anyhow correct, I followed your advice and created the directory via Resco Explorer on my Root of the phone...and it really works....simly as that, just createa dir, I still cannot believe it....
THANKS A LOT!!!!!!!
Hi.
I've the same problem.
But i can't create the directory in the root. It says that's impossible.
I've resco explorer.
Can you help me?
nothing...
i can't resolve.
help me
I dont seem to have a problem loading any friends albums anywhere, in the app, in the htc albums or where ever.
THE problem i have is, i cant get my own album to load in the fb app normaly .....
I can see my wall and all that, but when i go to my album tab to tag or whatever, in the fb app, it just sits there loading forever.
The only way i can get it to load, is by adding the fb app to rotate i bsb tweaks and rotating the app to landscape and they show. It wont load any thumbnails though.

You don't have to create the directory. That's what the CAB I linked to does for you. Just install it.

The Facebook app is an entirely different animal - that's an MS app. You'll have to search around to find fixes for that issue. My response relates only to the Sense online Album integration.
i've tried to install the cab, but appear the message : impossible to install "t-back..."
why??

I don't know. That doesn't make any sense. The CAB doesn't even contain any files, so there's no reason it shouldn't install. There's also no reason you shouldn't be able to create a directory. I assume you have an HD2? Can you provide your device ROM info, Manila version, etc? The best to allow people to help is to provide all those details.
Yes I've an HD2.
The rom version is 1.66.408.1
Manila 2.5.xxx
Radio 2.06.51.07

If it's not letting you create the folder, that likely means the Flash Drive is actually working, so I don't think you need this fix. Do you not get pictures when you go to Facebook Online Album?
When i go to create the folder, a message appear: impossible to cerate folder, the folder already exists.
When i go on facebook on line album... i see nothing (only the list of my friend)
when i touch on refresh (on a friend's name) appear the message: the customer doesn't have an album to visualize

The problem you're describing isn't the problem I was attempting to fix. Did you try the tweak from the first post regarding the CacheSize?
Are you sure the friend you're looking at has Facebook Album pictures? I can get to Online Album 2 different ways - either going through a link Contact's page, or selecting the Facebook Tab in HTC Album. From there, you should see a list of the linked friend's FB Albums. if you're not getting that far, then you have no way of knowing if the picture preview is working or not.

sorry i've already tried the tweak in the first post, but nothing, the value of DWORD is already on"0"
Hi all
I realise this is probably the wrong section for this question but I have looked all over and can't seem to find an answer and was hoping someone on here could possibly help me.
Basically when I take a look photo on my Nexus 5 it gets auto backed up... That's great however when I go into the photo app I can see the photo I just took but I can not for the life of me move it into an album.
I can only move photos in the app that are in the highlighted section but if the photo is in the 'all photos' the section I can't move it.
Again apologies as I know it's not strictly nexus 5 related I'm just stuck!
Thanks for any help
Chris
use a file explorer app. find the photo in whatever folder its in, then move it to another folder, or make a new one. the photos app doesnt do this, its not a file explorer. it only shows you where the photo is located.
Today I discovered a picture in my dropbox camera upload that I did not take.
Viewing the file on my computer it is just a png file with a statusbar without clock.
Now on my S3 there has always been a clock, so it's not a screenshot I have taken.
On my S3 the image is quite different.
Immediately when opening (before app renders the image completely), I get a picture with a clear motive.
After rendering, the image is more distorted.
This is only viewable on the device, not on a computer.
Sorry about the motive in this image, there is some brat in a back seat of a car waving at the camera with his middle finger.
I would love to blur the image, but I take my chanses uploading it as an original. You have been warned.
I DO NOT know the people on this picture.
Please share your theory or ideas! I am also happy to answer any questions you might have.
All I want for this thread is to understand why these people are appearing on my phone.
Original file attached to this post.
Will upload the other images in next post
Screenshots from S3:
Pre render: https://www.dropbox.com/s/q3850jwd6mfikyg/2014-09-17 18.38.08.png?dl=0
Rendered: https://www.dropbox.com/s/odofk5ud3d4x9ph/2014-09-17 18.32.56.png?dl=0
Ok so I have a theory. I bought the phone used. I formatted all storage before use, but this might be some resilient file that got caught by Dropbox and is now corrupted because it was supposed to be deleted. What I think is strange is that I never saw the picture on my phone or in my Dropbox before yesterday. Yet the date for the file is dated back in 2011. Both capture date and upload date. The meta data (AFAIK) in the original file says the image has been captured with the s3 as a photo, not a screenshot. Not sure if I want to settle with my own logic here...
