I´m not sure to 100% but i think you have to sync it again after hardreset.

A hard reset will definitely get rid of your facebook links. As to whether synching will bring them back again, I'm going to guess not.
There's a mass "link contacts" option in the facebook tab of the contacts page though, which does it for almost all my contacts.

the hardreset would not be a hardreset if the links would remain.
hardreset = everything is away

best way to remove duplicate contacts?

I have somehow ended up with a ton of duplicate entries on my xv6900 . . . does anyone know of a good way / program to take care of this? I've found a lot of programs online for doing it through Outlook, but I'm not willing to drop $40.00 to fix it (yet) . . . help!
depend on how many contacts one have really with my number
i would del them so it match in outlook and then set activesync to
make my pda mirror outlook on pc
sync and then set it back to merge from both so contacts added on
the pda would not be whiped when one sync
problem solved! check the app posted in this thread:

also there is a problem when syncing to your outlook on your pc if you have any or work. then when you sync to your personal email out side of that.
some people have multiple hotmail, outlook ( work ) aol, gmail.
go into your sync on the phone and under sync uncheck the outlook that way it wont do both also.

not entirely sure but have you tried microsoft myphone? im using it to sync everything apart storage card.
I don't know about Facebook seeing as I've never used it but PIM backup can backup all of your contacts with any amount of phone numbers and addresses. You can backup and restore directly from your HD2 with PIM backup so it's probably the easiest solution.
Is your Pc runnning with windows... i thinks so because you said smthg. about outlook. If it´s so, an you have win7 or Vista then use Windows Mobile device center
You can select which contents you want to save wand wich not...
Sry for my english, I´m from austira
microsoft myphone does the backup of contacts and if you have them linked to facebook it keeps them when restoring
Google Contacts is working great for me

none of the ways said already will keep the links,
i find it annoying too, cause u have to "re link them to fb"
there is one way of doing it, which is to get the facebook app.
keep it on the SD card, that way when u reflash, it wont dissapear

• Facebook Pictures to Overwrite Outlook Contact Pictures?

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.

Calander wont look at google calander

Hi,
I know you can sync your google calander to the HTC calander, however even tho i have the google account signed in and set up (I also know it works cause my contacts sync) i cant get the calander to, and when i go into accounts & sync, manual tell it to sync, it comes up syncing but nothing appears in my calander??
I also herd that in the drop down menu in calander you have pc sync, calander and then you should have option for google calander but i dont.
Have i done something wrong or need to tell the phone to do something??
Cheers
Can anyone help?
Download business calendar from market then uninstall it. It should work.
Or factory reset.
Those 2 methods work for me. Hope can help u.
Send from my awesome HTC Sensation + XDA Premium app.
Might be a dumb question - but have you activated Google calendar to be shown??
Check in the settings of Calendar which ones are shown and which ones not...
- mwie -
Yeah i have checked and its not an option in the drop down list. I only have pc sync
But when i go to sync and force it to sync still nothing.
i dont want to factory reset, thats too much hassel, i try the bussiness download.
Downloading the bussiness one actually worked, i now got the option to tick untick the google one in HTC. Im just not sure if i like the business one better than the HTC one now.
Thanks anyways im going to run both and see which one i like.
I cannot find business calendar on the market place?
Any ideas?

[Q] Facebook Sync not working (Stock Based ROM) !

Whenever I sync my "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, only the feed gets synced, the contacts and calender never do.
I think the calender will get synced once the contacts do, as for the contacts, it says "Sync is experiencing some problems, it will be back shortly." and its been like a week or two !
Is there any way to fix this ?
I thought there was some problem with my ROM, so I installed NExtGen 1.6, the contacts still did not sync.
I have tried formatting my phone, clearing the Facebook for HTC Sense data, removing and adding the account again and again.
But nothing works !
Please tell me a way to sync them using Facebook for HTC Sense as other third party apps do not provide full integration.
Thanks in Advance. :good:

Check in the settings in accounts and sync option whether all the the options are selected under facebook account..
If that not working..
Install fb from play store.. After installing put your details after that you will see authorize htc sense it will b done automatically sometime it may give error try again.. It will authorize..
After installation and procedure.. go in the fb go to settings.. You will find sync option..
But remember in accounts and sync under facebook all options should be selected..
