[Q] New Facebook friends and People hub?

Hi All,
Does anyone know how often the People Hub checks Facebook to see if you've added new friends? Is there any way you can force it to "update"? I've recently added a few friends, but they have yet to show up in my contacts / People hub...
Any help appreciated!

Try Settings -> Email & Accounts -> Long Press on your Facebook account and click sync in the context menu.

Worked! Thanks for the quick reply!

I haven’t connected the People Hub to my Facebook (yet).
However, I’m getting Facebook updates in the hub because my Windows Live is linked to my Facebook.
So…how does it all work? If I connect my Facebook well I have a duplicate of events. Shall I disconnect my Facebook from my Windows Live? What do people recommend?
Also, with regards to syncing – if you press and hold the “what’s new” title a refresh box pops open.

i have facebook and windows live connected to facebook and both syncing to phone... don't see double ups of events.

I have my Facebook account setup and my Live connected to Facebook, there are no duplicates. I'm guessing when both are present its smart enough to just use one source.

Thanks guys (or girls – wonder who’s buying the wp7 most).
I’m currently trying to decide what to do with my Windows Live profile. It’s good having the contacts linked with Facebook, but don’t know if it needs to be a ‘second Facebook’. It’s my email first and foremost.
Everything I upload to Skydrive doesn’t need to be shared with Facebook.

You can (and should) disable that in the Facebook settings on Windows Live.

Yes, I'm coming to the same conclusion. Windows Live does have layers of privacy, so it's not that which concerns me. It's more so that I don't need a second facebook.
Any particular reason why you've disable FB in Windows Live?

I didn't disable FB, I just disabled Windows Live from automatically posted pictures to FB Seems dangerous for every pic you take to go to Windows Live and thus to FB. Not all pics need to be public.
That said, I'm not really sure what you mean about having a second facebook. You mean in the phone? I've got FB linked, I have my FB account added, AND I have the FB app

Nah, I was referring to how my Facebook posts were appearing on my Windows Live Profile page... I've changed it so that's no longer the case.
The way Microsoft has integrated Facebook with Windows Live confuses me. A lot of what Microsoft does confuses me - but I generally like their products.
WP7 - very smooth.
Edit: For example; I use Twitter & and Foursquare - yet they can't by integrated with Windows Live. Microsoft's goal of making Windows Live a 'one stop shop' for social networking feeds is a fail!

Your facebook account is connected to your Windows Live account at Live.com ...

Facebook

Hi,
I have a couple of friends on Facebook who play Farmville, cityville etc. I don't play these so wondered if there's any way to stop posts from these applications coming through my Facebook feeds in the people hub?
I've blocked these applications on Facebook and the posts don't appear any more when I access Facebook on my laptop or phones mobile browser but they keep coming through on the people hub? I've also tried deleting my Facebook account on the phone and then adding it again but still no joy!
Anyone any ideas? I have a Mozart by the way.
Cheers

That's strange. It does work for me that way.
Try to unblock the applications in facebook and then reblocking them. Maybe that'll do it.

+ 1 Thanks OP, thought it was just me (HD7)
I have tried unblocking and re blocking as suggested above but no luck. Maybe it will be addressed in Mango
Regards,
Creamy

Thanks for the replies.
@defining - I'll try unblobking then re-blocking just in case! I'll post if it works or not later!
@creamy - Good to know its not just me!

Well I've tried unblocking and re-blocking the apps, deleting my Facebook account from the phone and re-synching and several combinations of the above and still no luck!
Can anyone think of anything else I can try?
Cheers!

Any LinkedIn and Google+ apps out there??

Two of my missing social apps on WP is LinkedIn and Google+. As a scientist, I use these apps to reach out and learn more from my fellow professionals but too bad they are not on my OS. The ones out there at the marketplace are just bad and are just the webpages in an app's cloth. Really wish they come out with nice ones soon. Any developer there to help?

Wish someone would do Google+ for Windows Phone and integrate into the system so you could take a picture and share to Google+
I wish someone or Google would

Yeah me too but i don't think google will do that coz they are not soo coool with micrsoft

[Q] Shared Photo "stream"

Hey all, I'm sorry if this is out there, but I have yet to find it with the roughly two days I have searched.
I came from an iPhone and really liked iOS 6... On my GS3 on Verizon, I have figured out how to share photos with Google+ only thing is, I would like for the album that I share to show up in the Galleries on the phones of the friends that I share that album with.
For example, I have an album that I shared called "fun at night" and it shows up as a read only album in my gallery on my phone. When I upload photos to that album from my phone via Picasa, it updates in my gallery... i would like to have that functionality with the others that i share the album with, as well as them be able to share photos to that album too. Basically send pictures to each other, with out having to actually send an mms.
Hope that it all makes sense. Thanks.

Switched from iPhone to, you can use g+ auto upload but nothing will be lik e photostream

Folder Lock for Android on Facebook

I recently saw an app on Facebook with the name of Folder Lock for Android. The publisher claimed that it can lock and hide photos, videos, audios, documents, notes, contacts and other miscellaneous files that need security. Above all, they are giving that app for FREE. I want people of this forum to test it and tell me is it reliable.

Spammer alert!
This is the second post I have come across by the same giy, about the same thing!
