Does anybody know how to change or remove the details for Facebook that get attched to the 'Me' contact in hTc Contacts?
I've changed account details and need to change them on my phone, but I cannot find an option to alter the stored details. If I try to do a status update on the currently stored wrong details it simply returns to the 'Me' contact, without any option to check details.
I know I could HR my HD2, but I'm trying to avoid doing that.
Thanks in advance.
So no follow up on this means it is not possible. i also would like to get rid of my Facebook contact in my rooted HTC Aria. As my facebook name is not my actual name.
Can this be done through the back door per say?
any commands I could try to enter. What happended to having full control over your phone?

Try logging out your facebook account in "Account Manager", it will asks you to key in logins details again when you reenable facebook.
If you're using Windows Mobile w/ Sense:
On Sense, slide over to the Settings tab
Tap 'Data Services'
Scroll down to 'Social Networks'
Tap the slider next to Facebook to revert from On to Off
Restart Sense {Optional, yet recommended}
Once Sense starts up, follow steps 1-3 again
This time, tap the slider next to Facebook to revert from Off to On
Enter your new details
Taa-daa!
If you're using Android w/ Sense, I can't be of much help, sorry.
and for wp7 users? any tip
this is very usefull too.
thanks!

hey guys,
its me again asking for something I cant find anywhere....
I have Energy Rom wich I really like.
here is my problems:
1. I cant seem to be able to go to email configuration to select the option "keep the email on the server"
I am freeze on the first screen and only the button "cancel" seems to be working.
I tried to delete the account and redo it but it seems that the advance configuration for the email arent available for an unknown reason
2. I cant find where to add / edit my signature in my pop 3 email!
Anyone else got that kind of problem ?
Please let me know!
Best regards to all of you!
To edit your signature, you need to go to the physical inbox. Hit menu key, tools, options. You will see a button called signatures. Select the account from the drop down menu then fill in the signature in the box. Check the boxes that apply.
The only way that messages are affected on your account are if you delete them from the device. You can choose whether to delete from server or send them to the trash can in your server account. There is no option to just leave it alone when deleting. If it is possible to set up your account with IMAP, you will have options for archiving your messages. I would suggest that instead of POP. Then all you need to do with a message is hit the menu button after your done reading and tell it what folder or archive you want to move it to.
Keep in mind these devices where designed with business in mind so POP access was really and afterthought. Its been a while since I've seen and option to do nothing with email deleted from the device. The other benefit of going with IMAP is that when you delete items from the server or your web client if that is what you normally use, it automatically syncs this action with your device. NO needing to delete the item twice.
Thats nice of you!
Hey Techitrucker
first of all let me thank you for your help.
when you say " To edit your signature, you need to go to the physical inbox."
How can I get there... when im in my inbox/ menu I only have:
New
Send/receive
Followup
Go to
Regarding the "leave them on server" thing... while waiting on a answer I figured that out by myself... and now I love it. I just leave them on my phone... then pop them on my laptop...
again thanks !
jeff
had the same problem... the problem is the menu items aren't visible... u need to scroll down from the MENU in the INBOX... there's no arrow - nothing that will tell you, you can scroll down... but it's possible =)
Hi there,
After finally getting the Android Stock Contacts app on my Desire, I'm finally able to use the "Sync Group" option to only show one group (let's call it "cormie) in the phone book. This is all fine, I have ticked off all other groups and only "cormie" is ticked on. It displays the "cormie" contacts and the contacts on the SIM (I can delete them off it later I guess) but the main objective is to just use the "cormie" contacts and nothing else.
However, when I go to add a new contact and save it, when I sync it to Gmail, the new entry doesn't show up in "cormie" but only in "all contacts" and once the contact is saved on the phone, it doesn't appear in the phone book because I'm only showing "cormie" contacts and it's not there To see the entry I have to go back in and to show all contacts, then I see it.
This puts a great hindrance on the purpose of the Sync Group option. The guy in post 10 here seems to have got it going, but as you can see in my reply, post 11, it's not saving to the desired group for me!
I'd really appreciate if anyone has a solution for this and could explain how to get it working properly. Or is there an alternative contacts program that will do it? Also, if anyone knows how to not display SIM contacts in the phonebook please share too
Any feedback appreciated at all!
Brilliant! I think I got a workaround
When I first started using the phone after rooting it, I selected "contacts" to be the default for all the options and it actually turns out that the Sense "people" app allows you to save a contact to a group even though it doesn't allow you to "sync groups", choosing which groups you want to sync only, so I needed to get the "people" app to be the default for adding contacts.
What I had to do was go to the main menu > settings > applications > manage applications > scroll down to contacts > and press "clear defaults"
This clears "contacts" as being the default for all the phonebook related actions. If you go back to the home screen and click "phone" you can set "contacts" as the default for this, but then when you go to add a new contact in contacts, it will ask what app you want to add a contact with, click set as default and click the "people" app. Now all "add to contact" actions will be carried out using "people" app, here you can select the group you wish to save it to and then it will show up perfectly in the "contacts" "contacts" menu and will be synched correctly to the chosen group on Gmail!
I think, after 18 days of buying it, I'm finally ready to put my normal sim card in the phone and start using it as a phone! Finally!
I realize this is WAY later than the original post, but have any of you found a solution to not being able to add a new contact to the group you want to add it to? I'm using an HTC Hero (cdma) that I Froyoed with aospmod 2.2.1, so I cannot use the htc "people" app - at least I read that. Sorting by groups is mucho importante to me and I find the default contacts app built into aospmod lacking in this area.
Thanks if you even reply to this!
So, this is my dilemma.
1. I have a SIM Card. It has contacts on it. Android automatically recognizes them.
2. I have my contacts saved to Google. Android also automatically recognizes them.
If I go to enter in a name to send a text, it brings a pull-down menu, with duplicates of everyone. One is for SIM, and one is for Google Contacts.
The Contact list IS slow with Google instead of it being saved directly to my phone. I want to save them directly to my phone. If I do so, the "send a text to" list triples, so each name appears three times.
The contact list, I can exclude everything but phone contacts. Is this something I can do in Messaging? Should I give up on Messaging and its many issues and move to Handcent and deal with its own issues?
I check before I go to bed and it is bumped off the main page?? Where are the people who can help at XDA anymore? It seems every topic I post gets pushed away
So... anyone?

Why don't you just go to your contacts page from Gmail on your PC, sort them all out how you want them and then let them automatically sync to your phone?

this is the easiest method!
Go into your contacts, for every contact that has a duplicate, do this:
1. Press Menu Button and select "Edit Contact"
2. When in the edit contact area, press the menu button again
3. Select "Join" and pick the associated duplicate contact.
This worked great for me with all my duplicate Facebook and Google contacts.
Hope that helps.
Because of the stupid limitation of not being able to change the Live ID login details, I was wondering if there is a reg hack to change the email address the live id has on the phone.
I have not created a new live id, just simply change the default email address on my existing one. So all the data will be the same, but I don’t want to hard reset the phone and lose all my SMS etc.
Thanks in advance.

I suspect there is no easy reg hack for this since the first account that was added is deeply entrenched within many components... marketplace, xboxlive, etc.
Did you try to add the new live account and see if the option to delete the first one becomes available when there are 2 live IDs?
Yes, unfortunately it treats the first one in a special way, only giving you the option to not sync email. Any additional accounts are treated just like a normal exchange account with Contact, Task and Calendar all options.
Looks like a hard reset is the only way.
Is there an easy way to backup text messages in Mango?
A quick slightly off topic question.
If I were to hard reset my phone, what would happen with my phone being unlocked? Would I have to do anything after the hard reset?
I would imagine so, but am unsure...
Does anyone know whether contacts on the One S that are linked to Facebook and using the profile picture, should have their pictures updated when the Facebook profile picture is updated?
Status updates seem to work, but pictures don't as far as I can tell.
I've tried searching for this problem and there seems to have been a lot of issues when Facebook changed their security options, but that was ages ago. There also seem to be a lot of solutions involving the "Facebook for HTC sense" account, but that doesn't seem to exist in the version of Sense on the One S.
How does it work now? Do the updates come from the Facebook account created when you sign in to Friendstream or to the official Facebook app?
Any help would be appreciated.
Alex
Anyone?
Does anyone actually have the Facebook contact photos updating? Or doe it simply not work?
Alex
Have you tried HaxSync yet? Cool thing about it is that it totally keeps quietly in the background, you can set when it should pull the HD contact pics from Facebook for synchronisation and (one option I really enjoy) it is capable of syncing the birthdays of your phone contacts which will then be integrated into the contact itself as well as your phone calendar. You wanna have status updates, too? Oh, it syncs them as well... ;-)
SecUpwN
HaxSync looks good, especially for non-Sense ROMs, but why do I have to pay for an app to do something that surely is meant to be part of Sense.
Also, how do they work together? If I use HaxSync to sync my contacts how do I stop it from conflicting with Sense's contact sync. Also, where do status updates appear? In Friendstream? In the contact itself?
How are contacts paired with the Facebook contact? Does it use the same mechanism as Sense does?

Mine are updating, but not instantly even with autosync turned on.
In my case profile pictures that are linked with my contacts updated only after i entered facebook application and friends section.

That doesn't seem to help for me. Even pressing the sync button from within the Facebook App doesn't help.
I've also noticed another problem, which makes me wonder if the contact picture syncing is actually a Facebook issue; messages in my news feed in the Facebook app have the correct profile pictures, but if I look in the Friends list, some have old pictures.

If that is the case it could very well be a problem with facebook itself as you said.
Try to un-sync some random contact with a picture that didn't update itself and then link it to facebook again manually, see if that brings out a new current profile picture of that particular contact.

I've tried that before and it does work, but it's not a real solution.
I thought I'd give HaxSync a go anyway and it does seem to work quite well. The contact pictures are certainly higher resolution. Installing it also seems to have caused the Sense Facebook account to update all its pictures too. I'm not sure why that would happen.
However the pictures shown on the friends tab of the Facebook app are still incorrect. It's not as if some of them are recent changes either, at least a couple were changed weeks ago and they haven't updated.
I'll have to wait and see now what happens when a friend updates their picture. I expect the HaxSync version of the image to update, but the Sense version not to.
Weird

You have to edit the build.prop in system, I made a post somewhere on what to change in order to remove the legal restriction. I'll find it and edit this post when I get to a computer.
EDIT: I know this is part of what is causing the clickable links from contacts to be handled differently, your more than welcome to read the article but in a short summary Apple suid HTC over having direct linking from contacts to other account based links ( It's owned by Apple which means HTC had to comply in order to be able to sell the devices but here you go. I didn't find this but I did figure out how to get it to work for our device as it's in the build.prop differently. This will stop pics from adding to your contacts via facebook, thanks to apple!
I posted this fix over there as well but in Root Explorer go to "system/build.prop" and make sure to tap the box on the top right corner of the screen to "R/W" other wise this won't work, now copy the build.prop file to your download folder in "sdcard" and rename it ("build.prop.bak") for safe keeping and follow the instructions I posted below.
On line:"34" from the top of (system/build.prop)there is the first line named : "ro.da1.enable=true" make this line false and add the second line: "ro.da1.method=false" .
Now go to the bottom where it is listed as: "ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES" the third line is the same as above "ro.da1.enable=true"
so change this one also and add the second line again.
It should look like this:
ro.da1.enable=false
ro.da1.method=false
"ADDITIONAL BUILD PROPERTIES"
ro.da1.enable=false
ro.da1.method=false
Link posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27198692#post27198692 as posted this is for US consumers as this is passed legally here against HTC for linked contacts restrictions.
I'm confused. Are you saying that the mechanism for updating Facebook contact pics is controlled by the same booleans in build.prop as clickable links in SMSs? Does that mean that contact pics don't work at all for US users without making these changes.
Clickable links in SMS work fine for me (I'm in the UK), and contact pictures work the first time the account is added, but the problem is that they don't update when someone changes their profile picture.
