When I go to a specific contact card it will show the birthday from facebook for example lets say 6/17 (which is incorrect). When I open the calender it shows the correct birthday which is 6/18. It is like this for my entire contact list from fb. Is there anyway to fix this?
Bump... Can anyone check this with any of your contacts that were synced via friend stream?? I've tried a hard reset and it still shows incorrect birthdays... VERY ANNOYING...
Yes, I have the same problem.
Surely there must be some way to fix this...
I have the same problem. I had it with my myTouch 4G as well.

Hey I just rooted my gf's Inspire using the GUI method and everything went flawlessly. Still waiting till more devs get in on this phone because I have an Evo and there is a great deal more development (of course because it's been out for much longer). Anyways, does anybody know the .apk name for the Learn More app so I can delete it through RootExplorer. It is completely useless. Once that question is answered then this thread can be deleted.
bump. Also stupid question but is there no front facing camera on this phone? Also I accidentally have it so every contact is syncing to google twice. Under every contact when you go to link it shows up google twice. Is there any way to fix this.
Well i know you cant remove an account from.gtalk without wiping the phone. Any chance you put same acct. In twice?

No what actually happened is a synced her google account which has all of her numbers and then I accidentally imported all her number from her sim to google so they were syncing both for some reason. I reset the phone and now the google contacts won't sync. I'm going to try some things and see if I can get everything working. But do you know the .apk name for Learn More?
Quick fix for the contacts us to go to Google contacts on the computer and use their dedupe toil in the top tool bar.

Thanks, I still can't find the .apk name for the Learn More app and I desperately want to delete it for her cause she keeps nagging about it. However I did get the google contacs fixed and everything is up and running. Now if only someone would tackle an SBC, undervolted kernel to attack this terrible battery life.
coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

I wonder what I did differently because mine all synced and are running perfectly.
The pics show up in contacts, phonecalls, and texts...
Mine is also working fine. All contacts synced and photos showing for everyone.

The names have to match up mostly.. If not, edit contact> join> find contact.
I had the same issue.
I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

google did it
face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

Facebook sync works just fine in froyo. It was only removed on the latest update of gingerbread and it is not yet fixed.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

thanks for this app.. never heard of it till i saw u post the name of it here. works great on my g2x running gingerbread
slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
On top of my issue with swype I now have another issue & a question.
I used HTC Sync to sync my Outlook contacts to my phone. It seems that my phone has duplicated a bunch of them since then. I started out with 117 contacts & it's now at 285. The phone will just pop up with new contact link suggestions out of nowhere & it'll have 1-5 copies of the same contact trying to link together. It did this even after a hard reset. Any ideas on what is causing this & how to stop it?
Solution: seems to be an issue with HTC Sync & contacts with Notes. See second post for MyPhoneExplorer for better sync.
Also, in my calendar app I've set it to not have a default reminder, yet it automatically puts it at 10 minutes no matter what. WTF?
Lastly, is there an app that'll toggle the Auto-brightness for the phone? I now there are widgets that'll change the intensity, but I'm looking for one that'll toggle just the auto-brightness on/off. Comes in handy when I'm at home or at night & don't want a bright screen.
Solution: Found a fix for the auto-brightness through reddit! Use Brightness Widget
thanks for any/all help
Did some more research & found out that HTC Sync doesn't play well with contacts that have notes attached to them. Switched over to MyPhoneExplorer & it's much better: wifi syncing!
Market:

Still can't figure out Calendar or Swype issue though
Regarding your reminder question, that is the default reminder if no reminder is set or for a new event. There are still reminders server-side.

thanks for the info. Guess I'll just have to remember to always deselect that since I don't like reminders.
my contacts are being duplicated also. When I open a new sms and type the first letter of the name I want to txt that name is listed multiple times

Are they people that you have called? Under SMS settings there is an option to show entries from the call history. I consider it a bug that it shows a contact entry that you have called while it fetches from contacts and call history.
those were annoying so I disabled call & sent history & just have email addresses show up.

when I did it through HTC Sync it duplicated everything, some more than others
Ya know I had a huge issue with that when I picked up the myTouch 4g. I ended up returning the thing, but the duplicate contacts almost made me throw it at the wall. I was getting 3 - 5 instances. I know the myTouch has tmobile flavor of sense, but it's probably the same issue. I recall being able to fix it by merging all the contacts, but even after doing that I still had to do some manual adjustments. Very frustrating.
I won't have the Sensation in my hands until next week thanks to the retards the T-Mobile store messing up my g2x return, but i'll post on this thread when I get it if this issue occurs for me.

just save yourself the hassle & sync with the MyPhoneExplorer app. with the HTC Sync I'd have duplicate contacts within an hour. It's been about 8-10 now with MPE & no issues.
I had problem with hundreds of duplicate groups and contacts outside of Android and used this to fix it http://scrappydog.com/GoogleGroupCleanup/publish.htm
Maybe it can help someone else
I've seen this question posted on other sites but no one has given a workable solution yet. I've got an HTC Sensation on T-Mobile and this only happens with some of my contacts. I haven't rooted or messed with the OS in any way and I'm using the default Messages app.
The issue is that for some contacts, it only shows their number and not their name in the message threads. On the widget screen it shows the correct info, but in the app itself it either shows the number (+xxx-xxx-xxxx), their name and then number (John Smith (M+xxx-xxx-xxxx)) or for a few of them it actually shows just the name, which is what I want. On the lock screen, it also shows only the number and not the name for those same contacts.
I noticed that the contacts it screws up are consistently the same. They are also the people who I started entering by hand before my google contacts synced up. I've tried not linking any contacts and made numerous edits to the contacts themselves, but nothing seems to work.
Please help, xda devs, you're my only hope! This is incredibly annoying because it makes it hard to tell who I'm getting a message from.
This also happened to me after fixing permissions using clockworkmod. I have tried everything I could think of to fix this with no luck. Is there a way to restore the permissions for the messaging app in Synergy?
HTC EVO 4G with Root, Clockworkmod, & Synergy RLS1 (not god mode).
I think the clue here is that it happened after fixing the permissions.
Found the fix here:

Make sure you sync all contacts, enter the command, and then reboot. THANKS to tomyboombotz!

Ok my phone has a very strange bug. It seems to seriously dislike one of my girl friends, it only affects her number.
Here's what happens, I send a text to her and when she replies my phone refuses to let me send a reply unless I delete the thread and start again.
This happens because it changes 0 or +44 to just 44 meaning the number is wrong.
I have tried deleting her and adding her again but this does not solve the issue.
I am unrooted and using the stock rom. No other contact has this issue.
Any ideas why it hates my friend? I know she's a stroppy git sometimes but my phones picking on her lol.

Sounds like some issue with the country-prefix. Could it be that she is the only one in your phone with a different prefix?
What happens if she sends you a text when you have no thread opened and you try to reply?
Is the phone number in your contacts correct and uses it the country-prefix the same as other contacts?
I assume that you are registered with a google account (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) which you use to log on to yours phone's Google account?
If so then it may be worth using a PC to web-browse to google.com, 'Sign In' to your account, then go to the gmail link and check your contacts in there. It is possible that you have this one contact set to "44..." in the details there and the phone is overwriting the details each time it resyncs to Google?
Hmm after reading your reply I checked but no. Her number on gmail is 07. It didn't happen when I first got this phone.
I don't know what i've installed or changed but it's odd how it's JUST her number.
