I installed CM7.1.0 stable and it is great except for one thing. When Facebook app syncs contacts I can't open contact details. It force closes on me on every contact that has a Facebook. When I disable sync contacts in Facebook, no more force closes in contacts. I'm using T-Mobile G2X. I've tried fixing permissions, re installing Facebook App.
Anyone else run into similar issue? Any solutions?
FIXED!!! It was the Google+ app 2.0 (the one that leaked out last week)
Once I removed it, no more force close in contacts.
You're a saviour man. I was dying to find out what the problem was. Uninstalled G+ 2.0 and everything is fine now. Cheers!

If you have any spaces, dashes, or an apostrophes (like I do) it looks as though it causes a problem with com.htc.bgp. When I had an apostrophe in my last name on Facebook no matter what I tried I could not sync using the People app. This morning I tried taking the apostrophe out on Facebook, deleting the account from my phone, deleting HTC Sense and Android Facebook permissions in the account settings under applications on the Facebook website then re-adding my Facebook account on my Hero under Accounts & Sync. It loaded my Facebook account without the apostrophe. I then opened the people app and attempted to link a contact and to my surprise I seen my Facebook contacts loading up instead of "no matches"! It has been months since I could use the people app to sync with Facebook and I have tried all the brute methods and just turning down your memory killer! Give it a try if you have any characters that aren't letters in your first or last name on Facebook.
I am running Damage Control 2.09.1 overclocked with 2.6.36 darkshizz kernel. If overclocked you must turn the settings back to stock (dconfig, setcpu, all memory killers, etc).
*Edit* I just put the apostrophe back in my name on Facebook and synced again. It kept my name without the apostrophe and still allowed me to sync new contacts!
I want to know how to only sync the contacts I have and not import all my friends from facebook, like how 1.5 used to be. I hate having a ton of extra contacts I never call in my dialer!
Use the stock/non htc facebook app. it does this exactly.
Good to know, thanks for posting.
Mods, should this be moved to the Themes and Apps forum?
For some reason when i click on facebook in accounts and sync nothing happens. Is this linked to the actual facebook app you download from the market?....I want to try to reinstall it. Cleared my facebook cache...still nothing.
Running fresh rom.

I had this happen when I switched to DarchDroid 2.7. I solved the issue by searching the market for facebook, and it told me I needed to upgrade. I had the typical notification show me other apps that needed upgraded but had no mention of Facebook. After I upgraded it, I was able to sync in the accounts area just fine. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!
You are a god among men. I've been searching for a fix for this for MONTHS, and nobody's had an answer. Thank you so much!!! +9,001 Internets for you.
I have tried and tried to update my APP and no luck. I can only open it. any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't really know but when I went to the downloads part of my market it didn't say that Facebook needed to update, but after further investigation I realized that it wasn't in the download list at all. So I searched the market for it and when it found it, it told me that it had an update available. So if you have already tried that and it won't work, then I would say you should try removing the old Facebook app altogether and then just get the new one from the market.
So the fix for the extra Facebook synced contacts in the dailer is to use the Facebook App instead of the HTCFacebook ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling Facebook for Android and in settings>accounts & syncs, I removed Facebook account. I then re-downloaded Facebook for Android and in accounts & sync, I added Facebook for HTC NOT Facebook for Android.
you cant use the regular facebook app if you have sense.........
Now that I'm running a 2.2 blur-less ROM (RubiX), I'm using the actual Facebook App again instead of the Blur social networking. However, when I open the Facebook app, I don't get the option to sync contacts anymore. My Droid 1 running the same exact facebook app does, so I'm guessing it's some sort of build.prop check that it does on whether to hide the sync or not.
Is there any build.prop solution to get this to re-appear?
Here's what I did.
First I removed any Facebook account from contacts.
Then, uninstalled the native Android Facebook app.
Next, created the account again for facebook contact sync (the one that comes with the DX).
Waited 30 minutes for all pix/contacts to sync.
Re-installed native facebook app.
My guess is that you'll still have a few issues but give that a try and see what happens.
My facebook for htc sense stopped working since the 20th of september. I cannot upload any photos and the friends stream isn't updated. Anyone else has these problems?
try clearing app data and removing/reinstalling the widget. if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Sometimes the sync feature freezes up it seems.
Removing the account and reinstalling the sync plugin made it working again. I thought that the error maybe had something to do with the recent facebook changes.
Hesitated to reinstall because it automaticly starts syncing contacts and calendar (and i hate that) when you install the plugin.
does any one know hoe to fix the picture sync from FB on Endymion 3.4 rom?
i seems like it work on 3.1 but something change later and it stop sync...
It is working fine for me..
Try to add the account once more after, deleting the facebook account from "Settings >> Accounts & Sync" and clear the cache
R u talking about "Facebook for HTC sense" sync or just Facebook sync..there is difference!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Facebook for HTC Sense does not exist in Endymion ROM. All the FB sync is (should be) done via the Facebook app.
I also have problems with FB sync. Contact pictures sync fine on first sync after installation, but never update themselves. The only way to update them is to remove FB account and clear data from Facebook app.
Moreover, I have one more problem with facebook app: Sometimes, without any particular reason, it stucks on "loading" screen and nothing happens. Even if you relaunch the app, it is still stuck on loading. The only way to make it work again is Force stop it from Settings/Applications menu and clear cache. Then it works again for a day or two and then gets stuck again.

Actually that's not quite correct. Although you don't see an "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, there is still a proprietary HTC facebook app in the rom. It's called HtcFacebook.apk.
In previous sense versions, you had to provide credentials (login/pass) for this application, but in Sense 3.5 if you install Facebook and login, the HTC app automatically is also able to do so.
So all contact pictures and such are done actually by the HTC app, not the "normal" Facebook app. My method for keeping things running smoothly is:
- Install facebook app from market
- Set it to not sync anything. Do this inside the app settings, not in "Accounts and sync"
- Even though you chose not to sync, the HTC facebook app will still sync stuff perfectly
What I don't know is the syncing schedule. I know sometimes it takes hours/days until all stuff gets updated/synced, but I can't do anything about that.
Cheers
my problem i s the notification is not working...
what should I do??
help me....
Thank u lowveld for the verry good answer...
beside that I love your ROM its is reall good!
I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
