Help...I have successfully made the performance tweeks to my stock Fuze but suddenly, literally overnight with no software changes or tweeks have this issue:
When I choose the icon for "Favorite Contacts" from the TF taskbar, the TF3D interface restarts. At first it ask if I wanted to send an error report about Manila; now it just restarts TF. It was working fine and I only noticed it because a picture had disappeared from a contact there and after I readded the pic I went to Favorites to check to see if restored. I literally made no changes, tweeks, software adds since last working. The only thing I did was sync my contacts & calendars to my Mac. Any chance on permissions or such changed in Contacts database since I assume that is what favorites draws from? What is the executable that runs for the Favorite Contact app?
Hi. Running:
Touch HD, Miri's wm6.5 manila 2.5 rev 7.1 ROM
with HTC's Facebook integration, which I've just started playing with. It seems that you have to open up facebook in the background for integration to work, it's limited to 330 friends' profiles (seemingly chosen randomly), it didn't want to attach profiles unless you link to facebook profile then click the picture and have it downloaded from facebook profile (otherwise it discards the fb linkage when you save and exit out).
[edit: just noticed that people are dropping out of my available links list - one friend was there & linked, link was dropped and now they're not there & i only have 329 links available to select from. Where does it get this list from?!]
[edit2: curiouser & curiouser! i updated, and the friend above was linked again. i clicked on the picture and said 'update from facebook' (generic image next to option, not his personal), then okayed it, and the link's broken!! If I cancel it then, it's repaired. WTF?!]
[edit3: added a friend's proper surname in my contacts on outlook, was synced to mobile, updated on mob, facebook saw the names matched up & offered the link, i accepted, and it took about a minute to go through. maybe the problem is the extremely sluggish connection? seems like it should be a background process...]
Anyone know any workarounds or even experience the same thing?
Hi all,
Absolutely love the work here.
I've been averaging a weekly rebuild on my HD2.
So much so that I've got a step-by-step instruction folder.
The last rebuild yesterday from a blank home page. Go figure.
I've been looking for a BG4all.cab
for my Dusk Theme GreenGlob.PNG background.
I'll find a BG4All.cab
but it either doens't work at all
or it will install a different background than the one I want
and will sometimes install other things as well.
Just wondering if its really complicated
or are we too busy with more interesting
development work to focus on this issue?
i.e. a BG4All.cab with accompanying graphic of our choice.
Again, just asking. Not criticising at all. Certainly not my place.
-----
I've also been looking for a Sync to Mobile Contacts.
i.e. I've got 300 Contacts in Outlook on my PC.
I have an HD2 I use for contacts that I visit once only.
I would like to sync my HD2 with my OnceOnly contacts catagory from Outlook. And NOT bloat the HD2 with the other 300 contacts.
Anyone know of a way or have a software update to select only certain contacts or catagorys from outlook to Sync?

All my best,
Barry G. Sumpter
When I go to my Pictures hub, I do not see any of the albums that I have from my facebook like in other WP7s (it should have an album titled "from facebook"). It's been synced and everything else works fine, anyone have any ideas as to what the issue is?
Did you ever work this out? I have exactly the same issue, and really do not want to hard reset if I can avoid it. I have tried removing and re adding the facebook settings. What else can I try?
Just to add, I have now hard reset the device and entered my login info from scratch, and I still do not get my facebook photos showing in the pictures hub. I have not changed any settings in facebook. Can anyone suggest anything else I can try?
I had my facebook albums show up in picture hub. One day they just vanished. So I deleted my facebook account in 'email and accounts' in Settings menu and then re added it again in Contacts and the albums came back. So far they are still there.
Thanks. I've deleted and added the account quite a few times now both from 'email and accounts' and the applications -> people menu with no joy. All my contacts, my news feeds and the 'what's new' pictures work fine. What else could be the problem?
I never had my Facebook pictures showed up in the picture hub.. Didn't even know that could happen... I don't know how to make it work..
My question:
If I add facebook account, will it ask me to add or not to add FB contacts to my contacts? I just don't want any of my FB contacts to be in my contacts hub...
How does it work?
if you add facebook, it automatically pulls everyone to contacts and tries to tie as many to your current contacts stored in windows live. you can hide ones it didn't tie, but that's it. you can't choose what to sync.
I really wish that I could help you guys with the facebook pictures things (Though for me the only pictures that showed up are the ones the I uploaded... not ones that others did, and I know if you go the the pictures you want you can save them to your phone,) but if you don't want your contacts to be synced with FB go to Settings>Applications>people and hit the option that says "only add facebook info to existing contacts"
Hope that helps!
Just an update on this. I hard reset again, and it's working as it should. Bit of a hassle, but happy now
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... ;-)

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?
Alex
PS Back to my original question, has anyone got profile pictures updating using Sense?

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.
