Hey guys so I got the sensation and honestly I am loving this device. I have been on WiFi all day but haven't had a problem yet. I guess it is all about how u hold the phone.
Well I do have a slight problem which I need your help in. I can't seem to find the Facebook widget for HTC sense. I downloaded normal fb from market I can use that widget but don't see the sense widget. I see the Twitter for sense but not fb. Let me know what I can do.
Thanks in advance.

I believe it's bundled into the "FriendStream" widget now.
yes indeed..the friendstream is indeed bundled with facebook/twiiter etc
I see. Well it threw me of because in my accounts it is showing Facebook htc n sync's my info but no widget by it self. Oh well.
Thanks guys.

you can always download the android native app and use that widget.. but we already know about the seni and 3rd party widgets,, grrr
Add friendstream widget to your home screen. Then press and hold it and move to "edit" area of the dock. From there you can choose which networks are synced in that particular widget. I have 2 friendstream widgets, 1 for twitter and 1 for facebook.... did not like them all mashed up in one widget.
Hello,
In the directory, when I go to my contacts "Facebook", I have my contacts.
But when I go in my contacts "Facebook for HTC Sense", I have nothing.
As I had sync problems and I deleted my data, is the explanation?
My facebook account is set.
If I run a sync, I have an answer for Facebook for HTC Sense is not currently available
Have you the same thing?
Facebook App

I bet in the top right corner of the app it says "top news" and not "most recent" right?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
nope....most recent shown in corner. Uninstall and reinstall app seems to fix but same issures 5 mins later. Logoff and login again fix, but next time still all mess of stuff....damn it HTC or FB?
Anyone figure out how to do this? It's been really simple to view them on previous versions of Sense or any aosp roms, but it seems they overlooked the option on Sense 3.0 :-(
On another note, I'm probably the only person that uses this :-! (My gf and I both put our work schedules into Google Calendar and share the calendars with each other so we can easily glance at our schedules.. It's pretty useful)..
Is not in the usual menu. Tap the bar at the top of the calendar, it is a dropdown box to choose which calendars are displayed. Is that what you were looking for?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
Im using this also and no problems. The shared calendar appeared after-hours first sync

Hello everyone,
I'm wondering on how to get rid of these blurry Facebook-linked photos in the htc sense contact widget. Normal contact images synced from Outlook don't have this problem but those who are automatically linked from facebook are blurry ans at low resolution.
Anyway, how do I get quality facebook contact photos in the widget and incall-screen?
Cheers!

This is an old issue with android.
once your contacts are synced with your google account, they will get blurry. Try this, Remove your facebook account, move all the contacts from Google to Phone, and resync with facebook.
Sync your contacts with "Facebook For HTC Sense" not "Facebook".
That'll fix it

This
'Facebook for HTC Sense' has changed in the 2.3.5 ROM and doesn't behave in the same way as it used to. It links to Facebook like an app now and Facebook asks your permission to have access like any other app trying to connect to Facebook.
When you select to sync contacts with the Facebook app 'Facebook for HTC Sense' then kicks in - bit annoying tbh
Yeah its really cap, when someone calls you just get a blurry picture. Any alternatives?

Ive now synced my contacts with htc sense however not everyone has their profile picture? How can this be?

Again, issue with 2.3.5 ROM - I've got the same issue. I'm going to try something this evening so will let you know if it works
Ive solved it, well for me anyway. I just keep syncing the accounts and they gradually update to htc sense photos nice and clear

Is there any solution for the problem yet??
Man stop Facebook from syncing your contacts.
Install friendcaster pro and go to sync menu, tick sync contacts and sync high resolution pics!

I'm having the same issues. Used to do the "Facebook for htc sense" thing, but now in Sence 3.5 the option doesn't exist!
I hate facebook for htc sense. Gonna try friendcaster, not the pro version though, **** paying.
By the way I installed ARHD 4.1 the other day and the problem was gone.
Hi,
Looks like it is fixed for me now, sense 3.5
Method 1
Sign in to FriendStream widget with facebook, it will ask you to sync, choose sync with all contacts.
Will take some time to refresh all, after you get clear contact pictures.
If you cant sign in to FriendStream widget separately from facebook app, heres Method 2 that confirmed to work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20392011&postcount=22 - thanks to the_scotsman
Hope this help and will work for some one else!
You sense 3.5 Rom? If so been looking for one and haven't had any luck. So I've reverted back to sense 3
P.s this should be in Q & A

What I've done:
Just sign in to FriendStream, and sync all contacts. (and press somewhere to force sync in settings or on some contact there is an option to update)
All photos in contacts now clear for me NOT blurred or stretched !!
Hope this help and will work for some one else!

What, I don't get what you are trying to say....it would be nice if you could elaborate?
Old news but congrats.. Basically he's saying that on order to get clearer contact photos you need to sync your phone with the friendstream app. The regular Facebook app syncs the photos with really low quality.

I think you need to go into Accounts & Sync in the phone settings and add specifically 'Facebook for HTC Sense,' then it should work.

Ok I signed into facebook of a fresh Rom install using friend stream widget ..
Still no facebook for HTC sense in accounts and sync and still blurry contact pictured... What am I doing wrong?
I click on friend stream widget, it comes up with accounts to sign into, I choose Facebook, Facebook for android comes up, then I sign in and it sais authorize Facebook for HTC sense but that pops up and disappears without me authorizing anything...is the same happening for you or can you authorize it?

That would be the first sense 3.5 rom with explicit facebook for htc sense ... normally that fb for sense is integrated in fb app on 3.5

Same here...
"Facebook for Sense" on Sense 3.5 ROMs is integrated with Facebook, which is why you'll only see Facebook in the sync menu. Maybe an early Sense 3.5 ROM had Facebook for Sense added, but its not needed.
All my contact images are sharp when I sync using the Facebook app. I don't use Friendstream at all.

Well your a lucky Scotsman then, mine are blurry as hell, I can't use sense 3.5 roms because when someone calls me it makes me want to throw up.
To add on my post, surely there must be a way to unseperate them?

Have you tryed to remove stock facebook app? NOT friendstream!

After signing in to it, sense will ask yo to sync facebook with contacts, you choose sync all. And this will update contact pictures, atleast it did this for me an other peaple here

I tried this. Uninstalled Facebook app. But when I click on Facebook account in Friend Stream settings, nothign happens. There's no icon next to it either, so I think it needs facebook installed for it to work?
EDIT: Yep, I installed Facebook app again, and now I can sign into FB using Friend Stream.
Hi I am having serious problem getting facebook news feed, calender and other updates on aosp/miui/cm based rom. In the option it shows that Contacts is being synced only. No option for news feed. I tried everything, reflashed rom with full wipe, gapps installation, settings etc etc. No luck at all. Help me out folks. Thanks in advance
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
Have you checked in the navigation bar area to see if you can sync the apps from there? It's likely sync is turned off. The sync widget looks like two arrows in a circle on my rom, and if I long press it I can control which apps are synced. You probably have something similar in your rom. Make sure the setting is turned on in sync. Hope this helps! Best wishes

I checked everything. Literally raped the rom looking for that settings. Only thing I found in sync option is Contacts. On sense based rom sync has Calender, News feed and Contacts. On aosp/miui/cn based rom there is only contacts.

If you are using Facebook for android than sync options are in the app itself, but in the general settings you only see contact sync settings
