I'm having this weird issue with Twitter feeds not showing through the Contacts app. In my "Accounts and Sync" setting I have both the Twitter account and the Twitter account for Social Hub. I assume this is because I have the individual Twitter app installed on my phone as well as the Social Hub set up with my Twitter account. One account is for the individual Twitter app, the other account is for accessing it through the Social Hub. I've noticed you can pull up Social Hub info for a specific contact through the Contacts app as well.
I've enable these contacts to show up in the default Contacts app. When I click on the contact, it brings me to their contact info screen which shows me their name, nickname, default ringtone, etc...and at the bottom there is a "Twitter Profile" link with their latest tweet and the blue Twitter icon on the right. When I click on this I get "Cannot retrieve Tweets at this time. Please try again later."
It's been like that ever since I got the phone. Why is it not showing me their Twitter feed?
If you do this with a LinkedIn or Facebook contact that's in your Contacts app, there is a link at the bottom of their profile that says either "Facebook profile - View profile" or "LinkedIn Profile - title of job" with their respective icons. Clicking on that takes you to either their Facebook profile or LinkedIn profile. Why is the Twitter link not working?

The HTC contact list is a great way to sync Facebook profile picture with the phonebook's. It even syncs birthdays, but why don't it sync the email addresses and the phone numbers?
It would be great if there's an app to do that so that I don't have to manually enter all those email addresses into my contact list!
a very simple use of the search, or even read the frontpage if xda would show that theres an app that does exactly that.
This one is weird...
I have Facebook for Sense setup in the Accounts & Sync settings so that I could get the contacts to sync with the corresponding facebook profiles.
That worked perfectly. All is well there.
The weird thing is that when I go into phone, where it lists all of the contacts above the keypad, ALL of my facebook "friends" are listed even if I don't actually have them entered in my contacts.
So, contacts = just my contacts linked with facebook, but phone-app list = all of my contacts + all of my facebook "friends".
Is there a way to make this NOT happen? I only want my actual contacts (from google) to sync with facebook. I don't want all of my facebook "friends" to load to the phone.
I agree, this facebook sync is a good idea but needs more options.
froyo has more settings for things like this, you can select "don't sync", "sync only with contacts i have on my phone" or "sync all facebook friends", something to those effects anyways.
so wait for the OS to come, or root and flash a rom.
Has anyone found a way to sync contacts's pictures and birthdays from facebook like we used to do on the htc contacts tab ? The roms i was using on my HD2, had the option to link a contact with its facebook profile, and automatically update pictures and stuff.
Anyone ?
install full screen called ID. it has a sync facebook option. that's how i've done it.
Download the Facebook app and set it to sync contacts. Most of them should be joined automatically to your existing contacts where the names are the same, and you can manually join the rest from the menu when you're editing a contact.
Pro tip: join from the entry you want to take precedence for name display purposes.
Allright both are acceptable solutions.
But what if i install another rom ? Do i have to do that again or i will have the photos as soon as i sync my fb and my gmail ?
uhm guys ? noone ?
login to your FB account from the app u downloaded. Go into the options menu and sync FB contacts.
"People" contacts not showing Facebook statuses anymore. Friendstream works on auto.
In regards to HTC for Facebook.
When I initially set up my phone, I used to see my Facebook statuses of my friends in the "People" application.
I removed auto sync for Facebook, but left auto sync for HTC for Facebook on, and now I don't see my friends statuses under "People" anymore. FriendStream still works.
How I can get these statuses to show under "People" back? I've tried re-syncing with Facebook but no luck!
Hello,
I have integrated facebook contacts with People using SNS feature.
Now the problems is that the images that are imported to the phone through facebook are too small.
When anyone calls the picture appears to be very stretched. Is there any method to retrieve the whole pic from facebook or images that can be seen decent if anyone calls.
Regards,
SNS ? I had this problem when i linked contacts to FaceBook accounts. What you need to do is link them to FaceBook for htc sense accounts.

Totally agree.
I use Facebook for Sense and not Facebook account type, as this is incorporated into Sense.
I also only use the m.facebook.com website for facebook access as that way you can enforce a https connection. The Facebook application isn't yet secure.
You can simply remove your Facebook application from Settings->Account & Sync by removing the account and then re-add a Facebook for Sense account.
This will then re-sync your contacts and you should get to re-link those that it finds and matches for you.
The images that it pulls from Facebook should be high resolution, there is a problem with Google contacts images, where even if you upload high res you only get low res after a re-sync....but fortunately if you a linked facebook for sense contact that account picture will be used instead.
