Hello
Since i got my Xoom, the facebook app have been a little dodgy.
Whenever i try to browse my friends list the app force closes. It has always been like this. Even the new version that came out today does this.
Anyone know a solution to this?
On my Nexus One this works fine.
And also, after adding an facbook account on the Xoom in Accounts, the facebook acount isn't visible like it's on a phone. How come?
I have the same problem I think I updated facebook 3 times since with no difference. really annoying if you wanna check yourself and friends in somewhere and then the dam thing crashes.
Hoping this will get fixed at some point

Have you tried FriendCaster? It doesnt crash at all on our Xooms. I wound up buying the pro version because I just thought it would take Facebook forever to fix it.
FB app sucks on hc. I just use dolphin browser for my fb'ing. Saves the headache.

Hi, first of all, i'm using the Android Revolution HD rom.
My problem is that though my contact picture does sync and show up both in contact and stock messaging apps, they don't show up in Handcent sms... Though if I click the empty picture, contact details (with the options like "call, mail, etc") show up, including the pictures (can upload a screenshot if this is not clear)
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling handcent, i've also tried this fix as well as fixing permissions from recovery. Nothing seems to work.
I've been googling like crazy for the last hour looking at least for people having the same problem as me, but all the posts i've found are from january-february, which makes me wonder if it is supposed to be a fixed issue. I've also read a few of the thread on these forums referencing ICS bugs, and haven't found this particular issue.
I've also tried flashing the stock HTC rom, though to be honest i didn't spend as much time trying to fix it there, since it wasn't the rom i wanted to use.
Thanks to anyone who will be able to help, even if only to confirm that i'm not the only one having this issue...
[EDIT] Fix found, please read this thread.
Thanks to Chronic404 for providing us with the link.
I'm having the same problem, don't show in whatsapp or go sms pro

I was having the same problem with go sms pro and it was driving me nuts.
Found that if I went into the stock 'people' app and re-chose the contact pics for people they then showed up in go sms.
Not ideal and quite time-consuming but couldn't live without the contact pics showing up!

Thanks for the tip, though i don't seem to have the stock people app on my rom, is it also the case for the HTC stock rom, or is it just because i'm using ARHD ?
May i ask what rom you are using ?
Hello. Download terminal emulator and do the following to get contact pictures.

As I said in my first post, I did try this fix, but it's still not working...

Oh sorry I don't read much, can you tell? but I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. Must be handcent.

First of all, I want to apologize, my previous post was coming off as a bit rude, didn't realise it as I was typing on my phone
It might be Handcent, i actually have no idea how to check that since i don't know any app with uses contact pictures, save for the two mentioned in this post: go sms pro, which seems to require to install quite a lot of things, and whatsapps which, as far as i understand it, would require someone to chat with, but i don't think i know anyone who uses it...
So if you have an idea for an app that would use my contact pic tu check whether or not it's a handcent bug, i'd gladly take it.
It's okay I'm not easily offended!
Have you ever tried kik messenger? Once you install it and make an account it'll ask you if you want to add the people from your contacts list that also have it.

I tried it, but apparently none of my contacts use anything else than sms, so still not sure of anything.
I've tried the terminal message also but to no avail.
I've just flashed the MIUI rom so I'll be sticking to that for the time being but if you solve the problem please post the method!
Same problem here i'm afraid.... No contact pictures in handcent app...
+1
I am UK Orange Sensation XE User running ARHD and also have contact images everywhere except in Handcent, despite trying the Root Explorer and Terminal Permissions fixes.
I have a small number of contacts where the contact image is a photo rather than from Facebook, and these DO show in Handcent.
Perhaps one of the techy types can use this info to diagnose the problem?
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook and Handcent, have cleared the Data caches from both and reinstalled, still no joy.
Please post the method if you find a solution!
Contact Photos
Hi There, I had the exact same problem with Gosms and Cabbage which I use constantly. I tried Android Revolution HD and Elegancia (which i love). the only way I could fix the problem was the following.
Downloaded syncmypix and ran it, then deleted the Facebook account. The contact photos now appeared in Gosms and cabbage (even unticking facebook avatars in Gosms didn't work). I then re input Facebook account details but chose not to sync any details at all. This worked perfectly for me and somehow or another the photos and FB details still appear and update in contact details.. Weird but great.
I hope this helps as I am totally anally retentive about photos for contacts which is why I loved the Sensation to start with.
Cheers

That's an interesting method but honestly, I would rather a cleaner solution. Sounds very suspicious that although the FB update is off, the pix continue to update... VERY weird... Seems we have to wait
I have tried Johnner's fix, and it has fixed some of the contact images in Handcent
What i will say though is that SyncPix confuses some of my contacts so i have the wrong images for some contacts, and not all contacts can be "found" by SyncPix for whatever reason...

Thanks a lot for the tip, though i kind of agree with GorgiGR that I was looking for a somewhat "cleaner" fix, i'm especially afraid that it would just confuses things for when the issue will receive an "official" fix.
About the facebook update still working while Facebook sync is off, I'm no specialist, but it might be because although you deleted your facebook account, the Facebook for HTC Sense app is still working.
I am using Haxsync from the Play Store to sync all my facebook photos to my contacts. It works great. The only downside is that it is a paid app. But it was money well spent!
I have just used this fix, and it works!

Thank you, i had kinda lost hope that it would be done without using a paying app
Problem fixed for me too then, i'll change the title of the thread.
[EDIT] Well apparently you can't change the title of the thread after creating it... So i'll edit my first post to point to the solution.
I was using HTC Sensation before. The contact picture from Facebook of my friends would show up on Handcent. For some reason, this isn't the case on my HTC One S. I tried to login on Facebook and didn't work. Was wondering if anybody has a solution? Thanks.
Not sure if this will work but apparently there's some restrictions on facebook contact photos. I found an app called Photo Unlocker that made them show up in whatsapp for me when they previously wouldn't. It's not on the play store anymore for some reason though but I'm sure you can find it elsewhere.
It is the same for whatsapp. I saw the facebook picture of the contact and now it doesn't.
I believe it has something to do with ICS, there is no option to sync fb contacts with any of my devices running ICS. Things are fine with older firmware like GB or HC.
It worked on my HTC Sensation when i updated to ICS though.
you may as well find the photo unlocker software and see if it helps for you. It certainly fixed whatsapp pictures for me.
Anyone on ICS will have this issue as for some reason Facebook has an issue giving permissions to 3rd party app's...
This means no photos from facebook will show up in Handcent...
MAJOR FAIL....
Handcent has been claiming that they will get it fixed ASAP... yet, it's been over a month or two... no fix...

I'm researching and found someone had the same question back in June but I didn't see an answer. My nexus 6 has it in the fb messenger app so maybe Huawei is only allowing another version of the app? Anyone fix this issue?

I uninstalled the app then reinstalled and got the option. Strange that it was up to date before, oh well.
I googled and found something from March but has anyone else had this issue and fixed it. It seems like it just started yesterday but I've had the phone a week.

Use your stock messenger app and see if you have a problem, if you don't the problem is with that hacky crap in Facebook messenger. Personally I don't give anything from Facebook more permissions than I absolutely have to
Yup, it's the fb app for sure =/. Has no issue on my Nexus 6 but on M9 it does. Oh well
