So i updated my HTC ChaCha android version to 2,3,5 and upon restarting i noticed that the updates under the clock on the main screen doesn't work anymore, i can press it and it goes to my twitter & facebook updates no problems at all and i can see there has been new posts on both twitter & facebook but it doesn't display on the main screen under my clock if you understand?
Everything else seems to be absolutely perfect with the phone though except this, is there something that changed to stop it showing updates on your main screen or has it disabled something that i need to re-enable i have looked everywhere but can't find it anywhere. Sure it's not a big deal but it was nice to see when new posts and tweets were posted up without having to jump into both Facebook & Twitter to see.
Hope someone can give me a hand, on another note is there anywhere i can find about how this LINK thing works? reason i'm asking is that my daughter has a facebook page (she hasn't posted her mobile number on facebook) and i have her phone number obviously in my mobile, but there is no way that i can see for me to link my contact that i entered manually to her facebook page, is it because she doens't have her mobile number on her facebook or something else? some info would be awsome.
HTC ChaCha is a really nice phone though so glad my wife bought it for me for my christmas, first android phone and i got to admit i will never ever go back to anything else
Welcome!! I can't help sorry as I don't use Facebook and use osr custom rom.

Go to HTC Hub and update the Clock Widget, then remove it from the screen and add it again. It could help you... If you want to link Facebook acount, go to contacts (people), open your daughter (with number) and tap on the small chain button in the right top corner. Then just select facebook and find the account you want to link.
Hi, first of all, i'm using the Android Revolution HD rom.
My problem is that though my contact picture does sync and show up both in contact and stock messaging apps, they don't show up in Handcent sms... Though if I click the empty picture, contact details (with the options like "call, mail, etc") show up, including the pictures (can upload a screenshot if this is not clear)
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling handcent, i've also tried this fix as well as fixing permissions from recovery. Nothing seems to work.
I've been googling like crazy for the last hour looking at least for people having the same problem as me, but all the posts i've found are from january-february, which makes me wonder if it is supposed to be a fixed issue. I've also read a few of the thread on these forums referencing ICS bugs, and haven't found this particular issue.
I've also tried flashing the stock HTC rom, though to be honest i didn't spend as much time trying to fix it there, since it wasn't the rom i wanted to use.
Thanks to anyone who will be able to help, even if only to confirm that i'm not the only one having this issue...
[EDIT] Fix found, please read this thread.
Thanks to Chronic404 for providing us with the link.
I'm having the same problem, don't show in whatsapp or go sms pro

I was having the same problem with go sms pro and it was driving me nuts.
Found that if I went into the stock 'people' app and re-chose the contact pics for people they then showed up in go sms.
Not ideal and quite time-consuming but couldn't live without the contact pics showing up!

Thanks for the tip, though i don't seem to have the stock people app on my rom, is it also the case for the HTC stock rom, or is it just because i'm using ARHD ?
May i ask what rom you are using ?
Hello. Download terminal emulator and do the following to get contact pictures.

As I said in my first post, I did try this fix, but it's still not working...

Oh sorry I don't read much, can you tell? but I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. Must be handcent.

First of all, I want to apologize, my previous post was coming off as a bit rude, didn't realise it as I was typing on my phone
It might be Handcent, i actually have no idea how to check that since i don't know any app with uses contact pictures, save for the two mentioned in this post: go sms pro, which seems to require to install quite a lot of things, and whatsapps which, as far as i understand it, would require someone to chat with, but i don't think i know anyone who uses it...
So if you have an idea for an app that would use my contact pic tu check whether or not it's a handcent bug, i'd gladly take it.
It's okay I'm not easily offended!
Have you ever tried kik messenger? Once you install it and make an account it'll ask you if you want to add the people from your contacts list that also have it.

I tried it, but apparently none of my contacts use anything else than sms, so still not sure of anything.
I've tried the terminal message also but to no avail.
I've just flashed the MIUI rom so I'll be sticking to that for the time being but if you solve the problem please post the method!
Same problem here i'm afraid.... No contact pictures in handcent app...
+1
I am UK Orange Sensation XE User running ARHD and also have contact images everywhere except in Handcent, despite trying the Root Explorer and Terminal Permissions fixes.
I have a small number of contacts where the contact image is a photo rather than from Facebook, and these DO show in Handcent.
Perhaps one of the techy types can use this info to diagnose the problem?
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook and Handcent, have cleared the Data caches from both and reinstalled, still no joy.
Please post the method if you find a solution!
Contact Photos
Hi There, I had the exact same problem with Gosms and Cabbage which I use constantly. I tried Android Revolution HD and Elegancia (which i love). the only way I could fix the problem was the following.
Downloaded syncmypix and ran it, then deleted the Facebook account. The contact photos now appeared in Gosms and cabbage (even unticking facebook avatars in Gosms didn't work). I then re input Facebook account details but chose not to sync any details at all. This worked perfectly for me and somehow or another the photos and FB details still appear and update in contact details.. Weird but great.
I hope this helps as I am totally anally retentive about photos for contacts which is why I loved the Sensation to start with.
Cheers

That's an interesting method but honestly, I would rather a cleaner solution. Sounds very suspicious that although the FB update is off, the pix continue to update... VERY weird... Seems we have to wait
I have tried Johnner's fix, and it has fixed some of the contact images in Handcent
What i will say though is that SyncPix confuses some of my contacts so i have the wrong images for some contacts, and not all contacts can be "found" by SyncPix for whatever reason...

Thanks a lot for the tip, though i kind of agree with GorgiGR that I was looking for a somewhat "cleaner" fix, i'm especially afraid that it would just confuses things for when the issue will receive an "official" fix.
About the facebook update still working while Facebook sync is off, I'm no specialist, but it might be because although you deleted your facebook account, the Facebook for HTC Sense app is still working.
I am using Haxsync from the Play Store to sync all my facebook photos to my contacts. It works great. The only downside is that it is a paid app. But it was money well spent!
I have just used this fix, and it works!

Thank you, i had kinda lost hope that it would be done without using a paying app
Problem fixed for me too then, i'll change the title of the thread.
[EDIT] Well apparently you can't change the title of the thread after creating it... So i'll edit my first post to point to the solution.
I've seen posts about this issue around the internet and so far I haven't found a solid answer. Today, I decided to post this issue over on Microsoft Answers. If anyone else is having this issue, please post that you need help too and provide as much feedback as you can...

I've had an issue with Live Messenger and linking with my contacts in WP7. I currently have a Nokia Lumia 900, but I had issues with my last phone too, the HTC Surround.
I can be signed into Messenger just fine and I show online to people and they can contact me. The problem I'm having is that I can't initiate an IM to anyone on Messenger (only Facebook) because nobody ever shows online.
The other issue, which is related, is when someone sends me an IM through Messenger, I'll get the IM on my phone but it'll show their email address instead of the contact name, even if the contact is saved in my phone and their IM email is saved in the contact. If I click on the email address, it'll bring me to their contact card too.
I've deleted everyone out of Messenger on the PC, I've hard reset my phone a few times and still the same issue.

I had a similar issue. Everybody seemed offline from the phone. I realised that on my windows live account, some of the contacts had limited access (I never limited them, for some reason they got this flag). After removing the limited access for those contacts, they appeared online on the phone.
Hope this helps!

I ran across your thread a few days ago while researching this issue, so that's one of the things I checked and unfortunately for me, nobody had limited access.
I went to your thread and it seems the problem is because you aren't using a native hotmail/live account.
Hi,
I am making an app and I want to use Facebook chat in it. Meaning I want to enable for people can log in using Facebook and select friends and message them. I tried looking in the developers section of Facebook and couldnt find anything related to chatting. Is this not possible? Anyone have any information on this? I think its possible since apps like Go!Chat does it.
Thanks!
Don't know about GoChat but I'm personally using IMO.. Least ram usage (only 13mb) and damn battery friendly.. Hope you'll come up with something even better.. Good luck.
Do you know where I can access the Facebook api to get chat?
I can't find it, maybe because the new update for messenger?I really want it and i can't find it.Thanks
the last tab on the right(circle with person). scroll down midway, chat heads. It really isn't that hard to find and nothing to do with the HTC U11.
Do you think if it was there i would have started this thread?I know it should be there but it isnt.It is my first HTC phone and i was thinking maybe its different
Here. Im on the latest update and its here. Doesnt really relate to htc u11 though.
I am missing Free Messenger and Chat Heads.I can't upload because i havr a new account but they are missing

Who knows why you started this thread? It is there in Facebook Messenger. It would have nothing to do with having an HTC U11 phone. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. Technically it is not Facebook Messenger anymore.

You're just a bad boy.I'm trying to solve my problem.Maybe somebody else has the same problem. Zeke sent that screenshot and i'm missing that ChatHeads and Free Messenger.The phone was bought yesterday and has preinstalled Messenger on it.I can't uninstall because its on the phone.I can only deactivate.I did a factory reset earlier on and i have the same problem

I don't have Free Messenger either, however I have chat heads and can uninstall the app. might be different apps we are talking about.
confirmed as all replies above: absolutely can enable the chat head.
But I don't have the free messenger option. I think it's regional enabled, not for all. But chat head is for all.

The proof that chat heads is missing
Update : One Plus 5 has the same problem.So thats something from the meseenger app
