Well, when I synced my Facebook account with WP7, I saw there was a widget in the homescreen called "Me".. I didn't like it and I deleted it.. Now I want it back and I dont know where is it.. I tried syncing my FB account again, but it didn't appear.. Where I can find it?

read this, solution there
Go into the people hub, at the top of your list of contacts there should be a picture of you. Click on it and it will take you to your "Me" page. In the app bar at the bottom there is an option to pin to start.

Just long press your name in people and pin to start. sorted

Well, i gave up setting default actions to "call mobile" to all contacts that i have inside of this widget, as every time i reboot they all are gone except the #1 contact in it, that has the setting stored.
Do you have the same behaviour?
Maybe there's some possible fix for that?
I have the same thing going on with mine. I have about 8 contact so far and only 5 of them will keep the default action, so i just gave up until its fixed. Hopefully it will be fixed in the update.
I had this problem and have found the fix....works for me.
Go to the web site for Gmail and put the contacts that you want to keep a "default action" in the "Starred in Android" folder.
No issues here. All mine are sticking. I have them backed up to my exchange server though and did my initial sync to bring them in.

I'm not sure. I've been syncing with exchange since smart phones existed and when I setup my exchange account on my new phones it just pulls everything in. My last phone was an HD2 so I had the people widget setup on that. Every sense Rom I used after that has just synced and pulled them in.

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to add a Windows Live friend from the phone? Only way I found was to actually go to Hotmail web site and add it from there. But this takes a few minutes and is a little annoying. Any app to do just that?

Peoples Hub -> tap the + button on the bottom of the screen -> new contact -> Windows Live
Shouldn't that work?

The people hub manages all your contacts, specifically here, WL contacts. If they have a WLM account and you add that email to their contact, I do believe they will show up in chat.
Yes, I was referring to WP Mango. However, adding a Windows Live contact from the People Hub is not the same as Adding a Friend. When you add a friend, the other end has to specifically accept you as a friend. Only then will the contact show up as available for chat. If you add a contact (using only email) from the people hub, it wont even show up on your Messaging hub in the contact list. Only those with phone numbers and marked as friend are available to chat.
If I am mistaken, please let me know because it is annoying to have to go to the hotmail.com website to do so.

Yeah, only that to do that it takes me 5 times as long as it would with an app or phone feature.... It's a workaround, but there should be an app for this if the phone won't support it.
i opened facebook app today and had a pop up asking me for adding my phone contacts to facebook.. but unfortunately, i canceled the process.. i noticed that i can sync my facebook account in the phone.. it seems that google finally reactivated that option again.. but the problem is that i don't find how to select the contacts to sync!!!
have anybody else noticed that new feature???

Yes i can confirm it's working again i just flashed factory images today,installed facebook and facebook account was added in accounts & sync in setting i just activated it and everything worked.

Well, the account shows up, under accounts & sync in the phone settings, but I don't think it's actually syncing the contacts. None of them are showing up for me in the people app.

And the sync option of facebook was always there for me but it never worked.

Uhm... personally I don't like these limitations:
IMPORTANT:
* Facebook does not allow to export phone numbers or emails. Only names, pictures and statuses are synced.
* Facebook users have the option to block one or all apps. If they opt for that, they will be EXCLUDED from your friends list.

Guys, I'm having a hard time finding an App that syncs Facebook profile pictures in HD to my phone contacts.
Haven't found a real alternative for HaxSync yet. HaxSync works for syncing the pictures in best quality, but only as long as the phone contac is named like the Facebook contact. PicSync seems to do it the right way by letting you chose a sync by Facebook ID (means it doesn't care about changing names), but it's no HD.
Any REAL alternatives, please?

WTF? We live in the 21st century and even HTCs social hub can sync by Facebook ID and everybody is telling me that HaxSync is the ONLY way for now?
Excuse me?!
HaxSync can and does sync friends manually, even though it's a bit less than user-friendly at the moment. The next update will make it much easier
Try this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
It connects by FB id... atleast that wat it claims
I've just tried contact picture sync and it seems working.
It's free and you can sync them manually in HD.
Is this what you are looking for?

Does it also sync all contact pictures by time schedule? HaxSync would be perfect if it would sync by ID and not by the stupid names.. you know how often girls change their ****ty names on Facebook - and boom, HaxSync doesn't recognize the person any longer and the conract picture catches dust. Awesome.

Nono I'm not the developer I was just looking for something similar and found that app. But you are looking for something more "complex" if I understand correctly.

Just something HaxSync-like which keeps neatly in the background and syncs by ID on Jelly Bean. Can't be THAT hard, right?

Huge problem I have with this App: It does not really only sync the contacts in my phone list. I don't even want a facebook link in my contacts and I do NOT want to let Facebook import any phone contacts into the friggin' interwebz. I JUST want the goddamn picture in HD, synced by ID!

Click on Facebook. If you don’t see Facebook in the list of accounts it is likely that you haven’t yet added your Facebook account to your Android Accounts – tap on the option at the bottom of the screen and do so now.
Select the “Sync contacts” option

All android phones have this link manually icon
it will automatically merge if the name is exactly the same across multiple accounts... however, i have never found manual merge in MT7. hopefully they will close the gap in lollipop.
