Hi
I am wondering if you can help ? in my HTC Chacha every time it gets any sort of data connection ( Wifi or MoileApn) it connects to FB chat itself and then i get msgs from my friends in FB inbox. Only way I can find to stop this to clear data from Facebook for HTC Sense but then I cant use F button on the keyboard, please help all i want is to stop FB Chat to go online itself and I can still use F button on the keyboard
Maybe try menu button while in chat app and then press go offline...

You will never be able to log in into facebook chat from FB chat widget but you can use the chat from FB application.
This is permanent and you can restore it back by deleting FB account from your HTC chacha and add it again.

Much more battery life you will notice if you disable sync of stocks, news, weather. The rest change the sync schedule to once or twice per day or even manually.
But for the record FB chat widget is a battery drainer especially if you use it to chat constanly.

This worked, but now the Fb Chat app force closes every so often. Anyone know a solution, short of rooting?

every time you restart your phone go into settings=applications=running services= find FBchat touch it and select stop process
used in conjunction with stopping facebook chat on chacha on website should sort the force closing out
Simply just go to the menu > Fb Chat > press the menu button > Go offline. done?

I wanna sync my facebook then I can have pictures for all of my contacts and I really don't wanna sync all 500+ friends from facebook when I only need like 75. I have search alot and read alot, but what seems to work if anything? How can I sync facebook contacts and gets pictures with only my contacts
atm i think that all that can happen and that's why im back on 1.5 i dont need 600 + contacts on my phone when i normally only need/want 100 or so
3rd party program like: SyncMyPix
When you go into people, you can hit menu, then view and uncheck facebook contacts and then it will only show Google and phone contacts and still have the pictures for them

other apps show all facebook contacts and it's annoying (i.e. messaging contacts dropdown).

that only affects the contacts not the phone screen
i was able to do it by using the contacts i saved in my google account and for some reason they automatically linked. You are also able to manually link them by going into the contact and clicking the link button in the top right corner and selecting the contact from your facebook friends. Hope this is helpful.

Do any of the devs on here have any clue as to why there seems to be so many issues with Facebook Sync for HTC Sense ?
I've tried Fresh, DC and RegaW, and I'm still getting sync issues....
As we draw nearer to an official release, I'm hoping that it will be ironed out, but as of right now, Facebook Sync for me is broken.

It is because of memkill settings. The sync doesn't have a chance to get started. If you relax them, FB usually syncs in 5 mins.
This information is in the Damage thread. I know there a lot of posts in each Damage thread, but you're about to get flamed for starting a new thread for this topic.
Hope that helps and ignore the ones who just b!tch at you for this thread.
But I've always changed autokiller to default, and it's the same problem....

I tried everything under the sun, and it didn't work until I set that to default. Within 5 mins. it worked. Did that twice.
Sorry man.
hmmm. maybe i've got something else killing stuff.....aaaaaargh
Have you tried the forced refresh method?
im starting to think the problem is deeper than that if you actually dig deep into the sync setting you will notice that 2.1 has a Facebook Sync and HTC Sense Facebook Sync.
Menu - Setting - Accounts & Sync - Add Account
Exchange ActiveSync
Facebook
Facebook for HTC Sense
Flickr
Google
Twitter
You can make changes to the Facebook for HTC Sense but not for Facebook...
Possibility of the two of them clashing???
causing it to take longer for it to sync

I thought that as well.
I wonder if there's an apk you can remove....
The regular "Facebook" option controls the actual facebook app. If you bring up the facebook app and logout and then select that option it will take you the login screen for the app.

That's Completely understandable but still doesn't mean their can be a conflict from one of the .APKs from facebook
I too have had sync issues with Facebook for HTC Sense where it will only allow me to link my People contacts from Facebook until the letter L for my friends. Im running DC 2.07.2 and can't for the life of me find the autokiller app if there is one running. I've tried searching so if someone could help me tune it down to sync or explain the force refresh method I'd appreciate it.

Or better still, can anyone please explain how to REMOVE the memkill/autokill stuff ?
What can we do to have this left as default stock mem-kill ???
Also, has anyone actually PROVEN that the issue is with the mem kill stuff ? I mean is there a log that shows that the session has been killed halfway through running ??
That's why I initially asked if any devs have managed to look into this ?
I'm not good enough at all this logcat stuff to be able to give an educated response, but all I know if that it's not working properly, and I'd like to understand why....

That's true, they could still be competing. I've had varying results with Sense syncing. I was fine, had all contacts synced, could select to view fb contacts in the fb app, changed my facebook password re-added my account for fb sync in sense, now my linked contacts are pulling the fb info, and i lost the ability to select fb in the view menu.
when i first synced with facebook on 2.1 it only synced to the letter L like most people but if you leave it alone it will eventually pull the rest of the sync info from facebook
I used minfree manager and then removed the FB sync account. I then used the default settings in minfree and set up FB to sync again. My fb calendar was synced for about 12 hours but now its gone again. So it appears changing the mem killer helps but it is not a permanent solution.

Even after waiting and letting all my contacts sync, I still get multiple "View Facebook Profile" under friends that I have higher in the alphabet as opposed to having that option once for one of my friends whose name starts with a 'z'
what i've done every time i load a new 2.1 rom works for me and i've had 0 facebook link problems
i will sign into facebook/gmail/flickr on my first boot up
i go to photos/facebook tab and then i scroll to each person and let their thumbnail load
takes like 30 seconds to a min *i don't have more than like 75 fb friends*
THEN i sync my outlook contacts and it always works flawlessly

The Sprint Leak 2.1 took a long time to fully Sync probably a good 2 hours =/
my mem settings are now stock
echo "1536,3072,4096,5120,5632,6144" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and I'm still not syncing properly....
As title.
I can't seems to get the latest facebook profile pic for my contacts listed in the People application.
I tried clear the cache for People and Facebook for HTC Sense in the application settings but to no avail.
I am able to get their latest contact number and facebook status message.
Is there a way to manually update the picture?
Please advise.
I have the same problem.
The only solution I found is that I delete the account "Facebook for HTC Sence" and I re added it. This way I force the Sense to synchronize itself with the latest pictures.
Thanks, it works, though the sync take quite a while.
just go into the gallery, switch to Facebook and then update after pressing menu
Only problem I got is that MY pic is not really syncing..
I use an app called syncmypix

Thanks for more suggestion
What may help, before syncing your contacts with HTC Sense Facebook, ensure that "People --> View --> Only contacts with phone numbers" is unchecked!!!
For some reason, when syncing contacts, this option comes into play.
Cheers,

open the facebook app, hit your menu key, settings, and at the bottom it says Sync Contacts, click that and change it to don't sync.
Hi guys,
My Facebook calendar events, including birthdays, keep getting displayed in my HTC calendar. Is there anyway to stop this?
I have tried the following:
1) Settings - Accounts and Sync - Facebook for HTC Sense - Sync Calendar (unticked)
2) HTC Calendar - Settings - Apply Settings to - untick facebook
Any other suggestions?
Thanks.
Try launching the calendar app ; you have an arrow pointing down on the top right corner of the screen. Click on it, untick Facebook. It should do the trick...

That is also my suggestion, too bad I only read it now after I have searched for so long.
Is there anybody who knows how I can get my facebook contact out of the list when I choose telephone. I managed to get them out of my contacts but thats probably a different list...
Thanks!
You mean all your Facebook friends show up in your contacts list? I believe that is something you can fix in the Facebook app settings : you have to set it so that it synsmcs only with your contacts with a phone number. You can also set it to not sync at all, if that suits you better.

I did that and it works when I go to my contacts list. The problem is that when I choose the telephone button there is a different, bigger list and there they all are..
launch the android facebook app then keep hitting the back button until you get to the page where it says notification at the bottom, click the menu button then settings, at the very bottom where it says other settings select that and choose don't sync then close the app. If your facebook contacts still appear on your phone then you have to go to menu>>settings>>Accounts and sync, then delete all facebook accounts. Launch the facebook android app again and re-enter your user ID and password. Do the same for the friend stream widget if you use that. This should erase all facebook contacts from your phone.

Outstanding, I would never have spotted that little arrow! Talk about a legible interface...not!

I've done that and it works, Thanks. I hope I can choose now for synchronise with existing contacts. No... So I stop synchronising...
