Loving my new HTC Inspire
In "Accounts & Sync", Facebook has 2 profiles set up: Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense.
What is the difference? Should I remove one or the other?
At first, I was linking all of my FB friends and FB for HTC Sense Friends to each other. But I can't imagine this is normal. Or is it?

If you are using Friendstream and like having a contact's facebook info, including pictures show up in your People application then keep the FB for HTC Sense and remove the other one. If you aren't using that stuff remove FB for HTC Sense and use the regular facebook. Neither one will give you notifications. FB notifications for Android have been broken since day one.
Have your fb notify you by the email you have linked to your phone and all is well.. Keep FB for HTC as this gives you higher quality images for contacts, where regular FB gives u crap quality images.

The higher images option was my selling point. Thanks! I disabled FB sync. I notice if I completely remove it, it signs me out of the facebook application.
My favorite feature is seeing people's statuses on the "People" application. If that and high quality pictures are from the FB for HTC Sense sync, that's all I need!
Thanks for your input!
also found useful info googling "facebook for htc sense"

Thanks for this, Perfect!
(Sorry to drag up an old thread)
The only benefit I can think of for the normal Facebook app is that you can go directly to one of your contacts FB pages if its linked to their contact.
For me, Facebook for Sense doesn't show me 3 of my contacts(so weird) so I just use the normal Facebook to link to those 3 contacts.
ok how do I get my FB friends pic to them when I text them as of now it just shows a grey person when I text them
If I remember right I removed FB for sense because it stuck a few hundred contacts on my phone that I didn't want. A lot of my FB friends are just people in which I share news with relating to politics, religion and social issues, not people I want to show up in my contacts list on my phone.
Is this a issue for others as well?
yeah that happend to me and all of my fb friends where in my contacts but it happen when I first set up the FB app you can pick sync all or sync with existing contacts.
but i want the fb profiles to my contacts when I text someone even though I may a different name in contacts vs the Fb profile they have.
The standalone Facebook application will do everything Facebook for HTC Sense does except the friend stream (but Facebook has it's own widgets).
Both will sync contacts and can use the Facebook picture as the contact picture.
To hide all those extra contacts you can choose to only sync contacts already in your phone or go to Contacts -> Display Preferences -> Hide anything you don't want.
To use the Facebook picture go to the contact. Make sure the 2 contacts are linked then click on the Facebook picture and choose set as icon.
Also the standalone app gives me notifications they just seem to be slow.
My phone won't let me have both facebook apps synced.
I am running coredroid. I don't know if the OP foresaw these problems or what. It will only let you select one or the other. However, the first time I opened the regular facebook app, it asked me to import my contacts, which I did. To my horror, facebook replicated of all my htc facebook contacts in the people app, so I had two contact cards for each person. Therefore I removed facebook contacts through the facebook app. There is a setting once you are inside the app to remove them. Even though I only have HTC Facebook contacts now, I have two different facebook icons. Some contacts have big, sort of vertical f's, and some have small, sort of diagonal f's. Not sure what these different icons signify.
i've had sense on some other phones, and i'm experiencing some sort of bug that i can't seem to fix. i have facbook for htc sense sync contacts instead of the facebook app because it syncs a higher resolution image than facebook itself. some of my contacts, which seem to be contacts that aren't linked to anything else, the facebook only ones are syncing at low resolution. i can solve this by linking the contact to someone else, clicking their picture and then the picture selection options resyncs the hi res image and i can unlink the contact again.
i can't figure out why this is happening, but after i fix it, and go back into contacts they're all low res again, it's almost like it's zooming in the picture, i mean the pictures are right, it just seems to be blowing them up or zooming in causing them to look terrible, this is only happening with contacts that aren't linked to another contact. it's really really annoying, anyone else experiencing this?
you link people together ?? why ?? my mom and my dad have seperate numbers why linking them ? is this even possible ??
ok... anyways ...
for me the picturequality stayd the same as i turned off google contact sync ... maybe this helps you too
i link people together because i have a ton of contacts under different services, google, facebook, twitter, last.fm, and the ability to link them under one contact card is, for me, the best feature sense offers. turning off google contact sync would not be the fix for this issue, i'd lose 400 contacts doing that.
no... you will keep them ... it just stopping syncing the new contacts youre adding !!!! ... when you have new contacts you can turn it on again ... but try it .... nothing will get lost .... and my pictures stayed in same quality ....
for me it was the same .... new contact picture and after some minutes picture was blurry .... and when i turned on they stayd in same quality ...
google saves the contactpicture in low quality
i'll try it, but this issue isn't with google contacts, the contacts it's happening with are actually contacts that don't have a google link.
mmhhh.... its worth a try ... maybe its a random google android thing .... lets see
it has been my experience that the native fb program attached to sense supply's the pics in your fb contacts in sense as well as launcher pro. i don't have a resolution issue. My problem is that in the sms log the contact pics sometimes disappear and only the number is there. that is annoying... I need that to be fixed since i don't know phone numbers by heart anymore. DANG you technology!!!!
Once last time, I sync my Facebook app with my phone contacts. Then it "mess" up my contacts such as changing for me names of my contacts to what the contact use in Facebook. Because of that, I had nightmare.
I am just curious how many of you do sync your Facebook app with phone contacts? I ask because with all the integration of Google with Facebook and Twitter or even with social media websites, I was wondering to try sync again or not.
Like what's the benefits to sync?
Share your views please.
Thanks!
Someone from androidforums.com commented that:
I do. I found that to solve the problem with Facebook last names, you link the Facebook contact TO your google contact, not the other way around. If you link the Google contact to the facebook contact, it will use the name that's on facebook.
I find it extremely helpful to have my facebook contacts right in my phone. That way, if I need to contact somebody that isn't in my regular phonebook, i can contact them quickly.

While waiting for his reply there, maybe I like to ask here too... how do I link FACEBOOK to GOOGLE? (right?) =D
I want to sync my existing contacts with facebook, but I dont want my facebook friends with phone numbers added to appear in my phonebook how can this be done?
Phone>menu>people>menu>view> untick Facebook
I've done that and I don't see Facebook contacts in People tab. But in dialer I see facebook contacts wich entered their phone number in facebook.
Bump! Isn't there a way to do this. The contacts I don't want to see in my phonebook are very annoying.
I hate it too, and I've tried to find a way to get rid of it myself. No luck so far!
Facebook>settings>Sync Conacts>Existing Contacts
I've done that already. Even desync and sync existing a couple of times and same story again... I hope if there isn't any fix it won't be that way in ICS.
hey guys,
so i have a problem with my contacts at my sensation xe running the AndrRev rom based on android 4.0.3 and sense 3.6:
all my contacts are linked with google, whatsapp and facebook
1. when i choose the google pic for contact pic, theres the same picture on whatsapp.
but when im syncing with facebook, the contact pic switches to the one from facebook -> no picture on whatsapp
how can i prevent this? i want to have pictures at whatsapp but they will be removed when im syncing with facebook..
me 2 im using sensation with stock ics rom
You could try turning off FB sync and use Haxsync for FB syncinc instead
yes i heard about haxsync, but i dont know if it helps:
the thing is that during the sync process the contact picture switches to the syncing account picture..
example:
contact max is linked with google (contact pic a) and facebook (contact pic b) and whatsapp (no contact pic). now i chose contact pic a, which shows me max with the google picture. but when i am syncing, the contact picture switches to contact pic b. not preventable?
