I installed InsertCoin Evolution v2.0 Custom Rom For HTC Sensation.
Everything works fine as now, The ROM is great.....
But I found one thing, is it a bug or what, i don't know...
Even though I am synchronized through Facebook, Contact pictures are not showing in messages.
When I restarts the Shell, the pictures starts coming but after some time, say 7 to 8 hr, again pictures of contacts goes blank whereas in contacts list, pictures are very much there.
I had restarts the phone several times, not only hot reboot which restarts shell only but did a full reboot. Even though the problem persists...
Any way to solve this....????
Ive had this problem before...
have you deleted the HTC Twitter apk? Ive found that once I delete that, my pictures wont show up in the contacts or messages, even tho I dont even use Twitter. if you have, just reflash the rom or restore the app if you can
if you havent deleted the apk, you can try clearing the data and cache for the Facebook app and uninstalling it/removing your account. then you can install it again and it should work fine

yaah i had deleted the HTC Twittere apk....
i don't use twitter that's why i did that, sad to hear that i have to install twitter for that, twitter is like a bloatware to me.... but i'll give a try to this solution
Rest hope for the best..
did you fix your problem? sorry its been a couple of days
I had this same problem myself, the problem was nothing to do with Twitter, the problem is with facebook and syncing fb contacts with phone book contacts, there becomes a conflict between users profile pictures on fb, and the pictures u have stored for those same contacts on your google account, anyway to fix this, first open facebook, press menu, settings, scroll to the bottom where the sync options are and change to don't sync, it will clear user data for u, next exit facebook, what I did after this, was via rcmix settings I cleared the dalvik cache and cache, then rebooted the phone, once your back up and running, u can either go through each contact at a time and edit them assigning a new picture to them or remove your google account and re add it, next u can set facebook back up, this time though select don't sync, when your finished goto your system settings, accounts and sync, facebook and just tick calender events and live feed, leave the contacts unchecked, that's it, should be done, the only thing u loose is in your phone book contacts their facebook status will no longer appear.

I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.
Facebook Error

Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.
well i would like the birthdays of friends who i dont have on google to show up still, i just don't want duplicates and i dont want to go through all my google contacts and remove their birthdays.
Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
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.........
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!
hi all,
I read many forums regarding my issues, but none of them helped..
after I installed fb and adding my account in the "phone" dialler (top left icon) all my fb contacts there, even I unchecked sync...
thanks a lot,

Hi,
I had the same problem and I resolved it after a long time of research.
To resolved this problem, you must reset your phone and choose "manual sync" and when you have the opportunity to add your facebook id, you skip this. When you have finished the configuration, launch facebook application and enter your id.
..
hi,
could you tell me step by step?
newbie for android
thanks a lot!
instead of wiping the phone, Go to settings > apps > all apps
Find contact storage and clear data. (This will delete all contacts so make sure they are backed up, Gmail usually does this automatically but make sure)
also, find facebook and clear data for that too..
This will remove all facebook contacts too.
Simply log back into facebook and select dont sync with contacts, And get your normal contacts back from gmail...
worked for me
ace! this is the solution...
although I had to do it again after the fb update.. what a [email protected] btw ...

you could just deactivate the facebook contacts in the contact menue so you dont see them... guess thats the easier way, just tap the top left corner and there you can select it

Does not work for the SMS part. Facebook contacts still appear in quickfinder.
It is a nuisance. I don't use fb, but when I went to log my wife in, it transfered all of her contacts!! Yuk! Had to erase them all...

I F'in HATE this!! Facebook get out of my life!!
i still cant get them off my phone,, I have wipe all contacts, all facebook, all people apps i have deactivated autosync. selected DO NOT SYNC CONTATCS.
re activated autosync. They just re appear.
i fking hate this ****. i have about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000(approx) contacts in my phone..
If you only log to facebook through the browser, then you wouldnt turn the mobile fb app, and it wouldn't sync, right?
Thank god I don't have a facebook page!
sent using HTC1S
its a ball ache using the browser tho
especially when you have the app lol
Can you go in the application itself to get rid of the sync feature?
I had a nightmare transferring myillions of gmail contacts from one phone to another only to realise that they had been duplicated soany times I ended up with about 10.000 of them! Eventually afte doing some manual work and using some of the phone's features I ended up with the contacts I need and backed them up in 2 places toake sure....
sent using HTC1S
yes inside the app there is an option to not sync contacts..
but even if i select that, they still sync.. if i delete them, they just resync even if i uncheck it in facebook and settings.
its really pissing me off
hey, i was just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this on custom ROMs.
the fact that it doesnt give you "tips" on what facebook user go to this/that contact. tried 3 diferent roms and they never give me pairing contacts with facebook friends. have anyone of you guys noticed this?
and for some reason after i install ROMs the pictures on contacts dissapear and when i sync facebook with contacts, it wont add pictures no matter what i do. even when i pair them up myself
Try the app "photo unlocker" to the photo.
It's never given me tips regardless of the ROM I'm using. And when I sync my contacts, I have to join them myself, FB connect to phone number. Half the time contacts force closes when joining. It can be frustrating. I tried an app called hacksync but it made a huge mess of everything. I uninstalled it, and uninstalled the official FB app. I use friend cast now and everything is cool. My pics show up in contacts and Tango syncs nicely. If I have to manually sync something, I don't get the force close anymore.
ill try those alternatives. i have my contacts synced to gmail, so if it screws it up it wont be such a hazzle. and "nice" to see that im not the only one having this problem
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
i found a way to do it, but its manual and takes ages. you have to sync all, then manually add theyre facebook to the contact. if say you have them linked and there is no picture, unlink them and add again. if there was a number to someone you didnt allready have in contacts and you didnt get a photo, link that facebook contact to a phone contact, but before you actually do that (before the accept screen) click not to confirm and back and it will pull the picture. its a tedious process, but it works. now i dont know if the pictures persist if you change the rom, but time will tell.
