that's my point, I'm trying to avoid using facebook htc sense, I want to use the facebook app only, but it won't sync with contacts. often the apk can be hacked to make contact syncing work

SyncMyPix works pretty well for non sense roms.

for non sense roms the facebook app works perfect. I'm trying to make that work on a sense rom

The normal Facebook app will sync your contact pics. It works perfectly on CM6.1.

So the problem is with Facebook for HTC Sense? Have you tried a different ROM?

Sense can be bloated and I've actually come across the same thing.
The official Facebook once supported full contacts sync for a short time, it seemed to be slightly buggy then it just disappeared after the next update.
On another thought, I can't get ride of wakelock when I remove sense from sense-based roms. If anyone knows what causes this please PM me, I have yet to find any causes even when using debug tools. - Numbers just don't compute to what is causing the lock when I do dumps.
im using the stock deodexed rom and facebook syncs perfectly fine, if you having issues with it hanging i would try turing off the 3g and only have 4g on and see if that fixes your problem with the syncing if you have 3g and 4g they battle each other for signal causing hiccups and the network to freeze.
Click Menu - Settings - Wireless & Networks - And Uncheck Mobile Network.
Mobile network is basically the toggle switch for 3g
so if you have 4g enabled you will still have a mobile network but only when you have 4g reception

facebook for htc sense syncs, but not the facebook app. the option doesn't even show up if you're using a sense rom. if you use any rom besides a sense rom the facebook app will have the option to sync with contacts. I don't believe you have that option

Ive teetered back nd forth between HTC's facebook nd the actuall app on the market... personally ive stuck with htc's only bc it syncs everything not just pics... bdays events etc... the official app sucks b*** still no chat option nd sync doesnt sync all contact info just pics... plus it's always linking u to the actual website... the official app will sync your pics just fine on a non sense rom but thats it... yes some roms have the "hacked" verison of the official app which basically enables u to choose which contacts to sync, friends already in contacts or everyone" htc sense has already synced for u so why r u trying to make the official app sync over htc?
i think the OP wants to avoid syncing all 5000 contacts lol and i dont blame him i haver 3500 + and i hate how htc facebook sync's contacts

Hi my name is KEvO and I'm a flashaholic.

One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)
But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".
Check it out. It works great.
Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?
Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.
I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.
I need to search for a new solution...
Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.
The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.
Mine syncs an awful lot and it often takes a long time which causes the phone to lag and slow down to a crawl.
My question is, what does this actually do? Is it necessary for the functionality of htcsense.com? None of the stuff on that site works for me anyway (it doesn't know where my phone is even though I have the check box clicked in the Location settings and it doesn't lock or ring me). So do I need to let this sync and slow down my phone as often as it does?
Thanks.
1. Remove HTC sync account.
2.????
3. Enjoy more speed and better battery. Also, profit!

Haha, I like the South Park reference
Just got Inspire, stock rom, not rooted. When people from my phonebook text me, it shows their phone number, not their name, and not their contact icon. However I know I have them saved correctly because if I click on them and go to "view" (from the text) it brings up their full profile with their name and icon that I set up.
If I text them first and then they reply to it, their name/icon shows up and there is no issue.
I haven't added any new contacts, I imported everyone from my gmail contacts that I was using on my old phone, HTC Desire (where they were all working perfectly).
Does anyone know why this is happening?

There are competing theories on this. Many people blame Facebook while others claim to have traced it to the messaging app. I know I have not seen the issue with any Virtuous Unity or ClearDroid ROM. I would suggest rooting and installing a custom ROM. Any custom ROM will be far better than anything AT&T would ever release.

I haven't set up the Facebook link though. So everyone with this phone is having this problem? Is there a simpler fix where I can avoid flashing a new rom?

Umm.... Not that I know of. It's a bug with the latest ROM from HTC/AT&T so you will have it as long as you are on that ROM. Rooting is not hard and so worth it.

The easiest fix would be to install a 3rd party sms application like Handcent or GoSMS. Both are free from the Market. Both have more features than the stock messaging application and perform as well or better than the stock app.

Good point. I didn't even think about that.

The phone itself regconized only the numbers with +1 before area code and such, no dash and space, (and no parenthesis) you noticed how you recieved the text with +1? After you edit all the contacts by adding +1, restart the phone. It take times for the phone to get used to the numbers. Hope this helps.

Some of them already had the +1 but they still don't show up.
What I did was uninstalled Facebook then restart the phone, reinstalled and I have my sync contacts (Facebook setting) unchecked. It works for me :-/

That didn't work for me. I didn't think that was the problem because I had never even used the Facebook app or anything related to Facebook.
I'll look into rooting and flashing a rom when I have some time, can anyone tell me which rom is as close to stock as possible (with the messages fixed)?
and is Handcent the best messaging app to use for now? I read some negative comments saying you still get notifications in your regular Messages app so you have to do it twice.

ClearDroid is very much like stock. It has the bloated removed, currently uses the Sensor 3.0 messaging app and a 3rd party tethering app.
I have no suggestions for which messaging app might be best as I have always used whatever was included with whatever rom I am using.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using the power of the dark side
Both Handcent and GoSMS are very good apps. Up to the user to decide which works best for them. And if someone says you get double notifications, is because they do not know what they are doing. Start up the HTC messaging app and go into its settings. Turn off all notifications. Now you won't be bothered by it again. Also in the Handcent settings, it too has a setting to turn off all the HTC SMS notifications and make Handcent the default.
Hi. Been using ChompSMS since i got the phone but since upgrading to 3.5 sense roms, contact pics no longer appear in the SMS list inside Chomp. It has to have something to do with the removal of Facebook for Sense. Any ideas how to fix this (other than reverting to 3.0 roms)

The facebook for HTC sense does exist but now it is built-in into the facebook for android app..
Just download facebook for android and everything is gonna work

Sorry should have been clearer. I have the default facebook app and this syncs everything that previous Facebook for Sense app did. EXCEPT ChompSMS contact pics. Even if i click sync facebook pics from within ChompSMS it opens a facebook page with an error.

Same issue with WhatsApp...probably related to the apps...they'll need an update to read the contact pics from the Facebook app I'd say.
Use an app called photo unlocker from the market. Sorted everything from viber to whatsapp for me.
I am haveing a problem syncing my contacts from facebook while using
decks rom

I might be off on this as I don't use FB ( yea , yea, yea ) . Did you go into FB, and enable contacts sync ? Also on the Device go into Contacts - Menu - Accounts or Display Options make sure FB is enabled for Sync.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but I thought Google purposely did that back on ICS. I had to add a Facebook sync app to my ROMs to get it to work. PS- Google hates Facebook.
Using. Facebook sync app worked thank you now I have a fully functioning cm10 rom thanks all

Have you checked what your power saver settings are at? I don't think it goes up to 30% but it's worth checking.
Got everything working correctly but for some reason when ever I have a call come in when I switch the call it hangs up on the person I was talking to originaly
