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.

How can I save my contacts address with Google map link and use it directly through the contact information
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
When you 'star' a place, maps will give you an option to save it as a contact.
Yes that's right but it save it as a seperate contact and it just name the area not the exacted place with longitude

Well Google Maps isn't accurate enough to give you a specific address based on GPS fix. Google's Contacts have a field for postal address, which can't be mapped accurately by GPS/Google Maps. So there's really no field in Contacts that can be mapped to a location specifically.
The best thing to do is just type the address in.

You can 'Join' it to the contact you want or add it to existing contact. It won't do longitude but will point to the place when you click on it from within a contact.
Clever idea.but there era two problems the first I lost that address if I lost the internet connection for long time and the second that link is usabile for one time only. Thx for help.I am asking if there is a way to make the longitude as a link to Google maps. Thx again

What do you mean one time only? I can use a few I've saved. And how would you use maps without an internet connection, anyway?
I have in my desire s installed igo,don't panic and the google maps that came with the phone.in the contacts that I have an address attached to them on the left of the address (inside the contact),if I press on the icon to show the address in gps it automatically opens "locations" android app.but I want to be asked with WHICH gps program I want to open the address with .I went to the list of apps but neither the "locations " app,nor the google maps are "default" gps apps!
What can I do?
Thank you and happy new year!

wow quick answer!thank you !
I have been searching all over and have been unable to find a solution to sync google tasks with the stock android calendar app. I am able to sync multiple google calendars.... but not tasks. I can view the tasks on my google calendar via the web, however there is no option for tasks when using the stock android calendar app. Anyone have suggestions for this? Thanks in advance.
there are various tasks apps that sync with google tasks. Astrid is one that I use.
No native app from google at this point.
Jorte works as a calendar and task app and you can have more than 1 task list I believe.

If you want tasks to show in calendar, you have to add them as events rather than Google tasks. This is because they are isolated items from the point of view of Google (I disagree) and this is why the calendar only shows events and not tasks.
If you don't want to install 3rd party software, you will have to go that route.
This is personally what I do too... For some reason android users have this strange fetish for getting apps for everything even though it should be native.

I agree that it would be nice if that functionality was built-in.
Another option is Tasks Free by Team Tasks (I'd search the dev in the store, the app title is too vague). Its more bare-bones than Astrid (but I don't have much experience with Astrid). I've only been using it for a couple of days, but it seems good.
Thanks all for the input. ill give astrid a try.
Ugh. This drives me nuts. I don't understand Google's logic on this one. If 'Tasks' are a part of 'Calendar', then they should be accessible in the same way as calendar events. I shouldn't have to have separate apps/widgets to view tasks and events. That's just plain stupid. They are both in my Calendar.
Adding Tasks as an event is annoying at best, and at worst you can't mark them complete or see overdue tasks. Using a shortcut to the web based version doesn't help and is an even worse workaround. No notifications or even a visible homescreen widget? No Thanks.
People recommend Jorte like its the best thing since chocolate and peanut butter. I've tried it twice and it comes off as Windowsy and way more complicated than necessary.
So I am left with a bunch of crummy choices, most of which involve me having to use a 3rd party app. Why can 3rd parties figure this out and not you Google? Thanks.
I hawe same troubles. Now I use CalenGoo - it's so usefull calendar with a task support. It have a separate widget for calendar (very usable and customisable) and for task (so ugly for me) but inside yhe mail application sinchrinise and show task and calendar relativelu good.

Thank you, I was having exactly this same problem and your post led me to Calengoo. It perfectly syncs Google Tasks and Google Calendar and both are visible on the same calendar on your android, and both sync instantly to your google account and show up on your desktop google calendar. The widgets are good too.
Cannot believe Google has not implemented this, there are so many posts on their own forums complaining about it all the way back to 2009.
People with trouble with contact search. Download contapps on the play store. Set it up, run it. Scroll ur contacts. Then try ur contact search in the app you usually use. It should work now. Now u can delete contapps if u don't like it.
No idea why this fixes it, but it does.
