Hi,
It's my first post, Sorry for my english
I would want to import my Facebook's Contact (picture ...) in my touch 2... But i don't know how to do?
Help please...
my phone is in WM6.5
SPB Mobile Shell can do this, but the soft is used to replace TouchFlo
One solution to facebook photos
Hi I use Outsync.
Google for outsync.
It only works if you use Outlook on a PC. The catch is the outlook contact must have the same name as your friend in Facebook. Then just sync the device with Outlook/Exchange.
Hope this helps.

Hello everybody,
I have a big probleme and i don't find any solution.
First of all,
This is my problem on picture :

As you can see I have my personnal calendar,( the defaut gray) and 2 iCal calendar (green and pink).
webcal://www.supinfo-planning.net/Calendriers/Clermont-Ferrand/SUPINFO%20Clermont-Ferrand%20IS1.ics
webcal://www.supinfo-planning.net/Calendriers/Clermont-Ferrand/SUPINFO%20Clermont-Ferrand%20IS1%20Evals.ics
On my PC , outlook succes to synchronize all the calendar, but when i synchronize it with activesync and my HTC Cruise I only see the default calendar.
Is it possible without using Google Calendar, or without merging the calendar to have the 3 calendar on my PDA?
If you know a software or if someone has develop a programme I'll be very happy.
Thanks Flo.
You could try Pocket Mirror it might work.
Thanks i'll try this as soon as possible cause i'm at work until 16.20
edit: If it's not possible have you got a simple software for looking iCal directly on PDA without sync via active sync
can someone tell me how to import / export contact from my HTC Touch Pro into my desktop?? or how to save this contact into a file that i can re-open or re-load after i upgrade my ROM??? since after upgrade ROM the contact and everything will be gone...
or can someone tell me which folder in the HTC Touch pro that contain all contact??
thank you
Use google Sync!! It will sync up your contacts AND your calendar!
just open up Activesync, goto "Add server source" from the menu, for the username, use your full username including @gmail.com, make sure use SSL is turned on, the domain is m.google.com
only sync the contacts and calendar ( I *think* they will be adding tasks to the list of syncable items soon)
Enjoy! I have had to do many hardresets since i got this phone, google sync even restores picture ID's!
You can then access and export your contacts from www.google.com/contacts if you want to
or you could always just sync with microsoft outlook.. or any other exchange server..
i'll try the google thing... =)
and
i tried to use microsoft outlook but it won't let me.. don't know why... can you help me with that??? sorry i'm just a noob.. =)
thank you

Syncs the data with your google/gmail accounts.
You can use PIM backup to simply save your contact info, no need for a pc at all!
By mistake I ahd already posted this in the Blackstone subforum, altough it is a general WM6 topic. Sorry - please answer here.
Hey guys,
I am using Touch HD with a stock ROM with the MS facebook application installed. In this I can see all my facebook friends and also their contact data, which they provide on FB (phone numbers i.e.).
Is there any application to auto-import the facebook contacts to WM6 Outlook, at least the ones that are not there already...
It would be so convenient and make my WM6 contacts complete.
Looking forward to any hints
SkyBook does that for you.
Have a look at this...

Thank you for your reply. However, to my understanding this application will only pull profile photos but no other contact information...
Pulling photos to my existing contacts is something i can already do with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.
I am interested in an application which will pull ALL information from FB (including photos, websites, and email) and enhance existing or create new contacts with it.
Yep, I know, and this application does that.
When I've used this before and asked it to sync my contacts, the first one it comes to that is not in my contact list, it asks if I want it to automatically create a contact for me.
I've never done it myself, as I don't want people off facebook in my contact list, but that's what it's for.
Cheers,
John.
skybook is a no go in the HTC snap with 6.5
Tried Skybook (latest, ver.1.4 Build 12281) on my Touch Pro, still cannot login despite following all the instruction. Ideas anyone? Thank you!
After struggling a lot with this application on my Touch HD, I decided to finally remove it. I get the well known and often reported login error.
I wonder:
Is it possible to install it in a vrtual windows mobile device on my PC and import my facebook to that? - THEN export the contacts to a custom location on my PC and import to my real Touch HD?
Ideas how to connect to the internet with the emulated WM6??
Afaik, there are several ways to do it.
Either you use Outlook to sync your contacts on your device, so you use Outsync to sync facebook to outlook, allthough I do not know what it syncs...
Or, you can export your facebook contacts list and add them into Windows Live. And then sync it to your device.
Using HTC Touch Pro I'm having issues too.
Trying to go to skybook.com gives me an error:
msxml3.dll error '80072efd'
A connection with the server could not be established
/includes/adtrack.asp, line 40
Can't login to the program after authorizing the app to pull data from facebook.
apps.facebook.com/snaptoface Doesn't load for me to re-authorize and FB doesn't show I have it as authorized... I'll have to check it out more but seems to me the snap2face/skybook website is having issues.
Hi All,
I know you can link a contact in your phone book to their corresponding Facebook profile and have the phone display the Facebook Profile picture as the Photo for the Contact – this is all well and good, however, when you sync your contacts with Outlook, the contact cards display the original or no photo.
Is it possible to have the up to date Facebook photo assigned to the contact photo permanently?
I know there was some free software which claimed to do this (I forget the name) – but it was very unstable and seemed to freeze/crash a lot, plus it wasn’t automated.
Can you one help? Or mod?
Thankies.
I'd love to know this too - I was wondering if it was possible, but didn't put too much thought into it.

The software was called BookSync and as far as I know only made it to Beta.
Any new versions that work on the HD2 or an equivalent cab?
aaachooo!
Sorry, sneezed.
Oh. Now this post is back at the top....seeing as we're here - can anyone help?
Oh interesting I´m not the only one with this prob.
But my experience is, if facebook change first time the favpic and I change it following with my own pic (on phone) - facebook never replace it.
anybody affirm this?

read the linked' post again. no cab required! tis part of the native program.
cheers.
I see, thanks for your comment.
anyone else able to help with this?
Another good function would be to be able to choose a picture for the contact you have from their facebook album rather than only being able to only have their currently profile picture.
Does anyone know how to do this yet??
spb mobile shell does this... But i've been looking for the equivalent as a free program...
never found...
facebook pics in outlook
I was messing with my outlook and HD2 recently and came across a method that let me save all my facebook pics to outlook from Hd2. Heres what i did....
i synced my phone with my PC and then unpluged it from the computer. i then backed up all my contacts and calender events using PIM back up (im sure you can use any other back up form) save that back up...
after i went to activesync and changed my settings to "Replace item on desktop" when there is a conflict. Deleted all my contacts in outlook and all my calendar events in outlook then synced once again and my phone cleared up as well then i unplugged my phone again and restored using the back up i made and synced all my contacts with thier facebook accounts(before syncing again) once the all had updated pics from facebook i synced with my PC (under the same settings...replace items on desktop) and done.
the contacts were back and calendar events were also back with facebook pics..
maybe some one can try it on thier end and see what happens but worked for me

well this doesn't really "overwrite" the outlook contact pictures with the facebook ones. The reason why it seem to work for you is because when you sync your phone with fb it creates a folder FBContacts under the /windows directory which stores your facebook avatars with the files named according to the fb contacts id. all activesync does is add your fb contacts id in the notes of the outlook contact and when this file exist in the /windows/fbcontacts folder it will display that instead of the pic in outlook. if you check the contact on your PC the pics are still the existing ones and not the fb ones.
so if you want your contacts to show the fb avatar just backup the /windows/fbcontacts folder.
at least this is what i found from my little investigation. if i'm wrong pls correct me.

The problem with this is it will update the pictures as a one time update. Every time the fb picture for the contact changes (and is reflected on the HD2) your outlook picture will not be updated

This does work and it is easy as per the native program however when the contact changes their FB pic, it updates again. So basically it keeps the latest change wether that is yourself with the Outlook pic or FB if your mate updates it.
As i have the best pic with Outlook id rather it permanently use that if selected but cant seem to find a way it can do this.
Hello,
first I wanna thank all of you guys for this awesome Forum.
I've recently flashed the WP7 ROM to my HD2 and it works totally great.
Now my question concerning the Outlook sync.
I don't want to sync my Outlook data to the web like Hotmail, Google etc.
Is there anyway to get a workaround for that?
I was thinking of using the Fileexplorer or the USB Masstorage trick to get a Outlook csv File on the phone.
Is there a chance to sync the phone with this file, when I copie it there?
Further, does anyone of you guys know, if Microsoft has planned to update Zune or WP7 for a straight USB-Sync Outlook support ?
Sorry for my English and thanks in advance
I'm in the same boat as you..
Why on God's Green Earth can I not do anything I need to do with this phone???
Yes I understand Microsoft needed to go in a new direction for speed and functionality.. But you should have left active sync alone.. Also given me MyPhone capabilities.. at the very least..
So now what can I go?
Can I create some hotmail account just for syncing my outlook calendar and contacts?
Anyone???
