Hi,
Upgraded to the new version of Froyo 'Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6) ' and when I go to add account, I choose Facebook, and after a slight pause, returns to the General synch settings page, but no Facebook.
Worked fine on previous release of 2.1.
I downloaded Facebook from Market.
Any advice would be appreciated, possibly I have the wrong version for the phone??
Same here,
Could this be because of a 'non-existing' link between the sync settings and the facebook app?
(Maybe because of some recent facebook app update?)
The facebook app itself works by the way, (notifications, widget, app etc) But it would be nice to sync contacts etc as well (A)
It doesn't work in mine either. (UK O2 Streak with official 2.1 update.)
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon as I liked how it automatically downloaded a profile picture for every contact in my phone.
A little reading may have a clue...
Althought I cannot confirm, it appears there's 2 versions fo facebook available for us.
Facebook for Android or HTC Facebook for Sense. I recon I must have had HTC Facebook before which does synch the contacts..
Anyone confirm this??? Anywhere to download and test HTC Facebook for Sense??
Facebook Contact Sync
Hi Guys,
I'm now in XDANDROID FRX04 with the latest facebook from the market and have the same problem, facebook does not sync the contacts.
Does someone make it work?
Does someone have a working apk of HTCFacebook?
Does not work for me either with XDAndroid FRX04 or Froyo X Red.
Right now i am using: SyncMyPix to sync Facebook contacts on my phone until this problem is resolved.
If the problem is between facebook app and phone contacts, perhaps it's because google blocked that feature. If it's between the app and facebook, no idea, it works for me.
Edit: NVM, I see what's the problem and dunno why
Keep it in the related thread
Excess threads muck up the forum.

i recently purchased a htc wildfire and syncd my facebook account with htc sence. Initially it worked like a charm adding facebook information and pics of all my phone contacts. But later when i changed my facebook password on the site, and created a new account on facebook for htc sence on my phone as i had to modify its password, the account was created successfully and it also updates evrything. But now i dont have any of my facebook contacts or contact information and pictures of my phone contacts that were synced with facebook. All the remaining features like Friendstream work perfectly and show all the updates. Please help.

I have the exact same problem.
However it appears its a common bug in the HTC Sense Facebook for Android 2.1.
I am going to contact HTC by mail to see what's up.
plz do tell me if you get any solutn for the problem...u can post it here or email me on [email protected]
I have not yet gotten a response from HTC.
I googled for some longer time.
Apparently, Facebook broke something and they are trying to fix it.
I am afraid the only thing is to wait.

Hi, it's my first post here. I've got a brand new Desire HD, unlocked, and I've noticed something strange.
I think it's strange because on my previous device (a Desire) it acted different.
I've got two Facebook apps installed (by default): Facebook (for android) and Facebook for HTC Sense. The first is version 1.3.2, the latter is version 1.0. Now, on the old Desire the version 1.3.2 was installed from the market ON TOP of the Facebook for HTC Sense, so there was only one Facebook app.
I cannot unistall both of them, so it's somehow boring.
Anyone noticed that too? Is it normal for the Desire HD? (well, I don't think it's pretty normal, because the device sometimes asks me to link 2 equals Facebook, one on normal facebook and the other on facebook htc sense, contacts together )
Thanks for any opinion and advice.
I know exactly how you mean.
I've also tried to link my contacts to Facebook, but it says I have no contacts, yet Facebook is set up on my device. Confusing.
New HTC Sense sucks really!

I always set the device to use Facebook for HTC Sense to sync my contacts, then disable the official facebook app(only disable the contact sync).
Thats always worked for me, sometimes (on my hero) the contacts didn't sync immediately but they always did eventually.
Make sure you're logged into both, in settings>accounts and sync.
@ Meesayen: you shouldn't have two facebook icons, I only have facebook and friendstream. Try either uninstalling the official facebook and reinstalling, if not then a hard reset would most likely sort it..
i've got this problem too, although one of the first things i did when i turned the DHD on was to download the facebook app, not realising it was already on there. but thats not the thing thats bugging me the most. the biggest gripe i've got right now is getting notifications to pop up whenever i get a facebook notification. i only know someone has written on my wall, for example, when i open the FB app and it refreshes.
has anyone figured out how to get facebook notifications to pop up in the taskbar?

Install Tweetdeck for free or F+ for other notifications like birthdays.

haha! i forgot about this. for some reason when i was using a blackberry my email notifications had been turned off on facebook. they come through fine now. still not ideal, but i can live with it.
another question i had - whenever i open up a notification through the facebook app, it always launches the page in a browser and not the app. is this just me? now and then i'll get to see someones wall in the app but 9 times out of 10 it launches in the browser.
Although I don't have my DHD yet I woulser if you can use bloo I currently use it and think its the best fb app but wonder if it will mess with sense fb

hi guys,
i set up both facebook apps (facebook for android and facebook for sense), same with twitter.
but my problem is, everytime my device is syncing with facebook/twitter, it updates my contact pictures with the one from facebook and if there is nothing, with the ones from twitter.
i can manually set to use the phone contact picture, but everything is gone after the next sync.
i think facebook/twitter for htc sense is causing this problem. is there anyway to stop that something is changing my contact pcitures?
is there a setting in the accounts & sync tab? couldnt find any
any ideas?
thanks a lot so far.
it looks like the problem is gone since i got my phone rooted...could it be the reason or just luck?
Hello!
I just got myself HTC HD2 and upgraded to WWE 3.14.405.2 official ROM.
I also upgraded FaceBook app to 1.1.0.26 from Marketplace.
But I don´t have all my friends listed in facebook app. I have over 500 friends, but I can`t see all of them. I go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search and there is no results come out. In the web I have this person in my friends list!
That`s also why I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the list in conctacts !
Please help me! What I have to do?
Thanks!

Help needed!
Don't bother with the facebook app. It's so buggy its untrue.
The facebook mobile site works much better. Open opera and surf along to :

Cheers

Thanks. I have done this since now.
But I like, when my contacts have pictures and birthdays from facebook.
Thats why I would like to see it working.
But as I can see, then only thing what can help is new version of facebook app.
I have read that you never know is it coming or not at all

Ok I did some looking for you, but next time please use search. Go to this thread and this thread and check this thread out. One of the Face book apps has got to suit you. Then default app sucks, but then again what do I know I don't use facebook at all.
Thank you for reply. I have searched for a weeks already for the solutions and have seen these programs too.
But the thing is, that my HD2 syncs contacts with the original Facebook app. Right now I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the friends list in my HD2 facebook app! To have their pictures and birthdays in my HD2 is why I need a working ORIGINAL app of Facebook

Sorry about that then, I meant no harm just see people complaining about the stupid default facebook app all the time, but usually non of them have even tried to find a better app.
This may be a really dumb question but have you tried logging out of your face book account in the app then logging back in? I have heard that has helped some people on these and other forums.
Yes I have tried that, no help
Also I have tried to reinstall that Facebook app again, no help
I don´t like this original Facebook app mutch, but since it is integrated to my HD2 and it has possibilities I like, then I would like it to work as it has to be !!!
Today I reinstalled 3.14 ROM to HD2, hoping it will change something, but nothing new. Nothing changed in Facebook.
Is there any fixed ROMs, that are similar to original, but working better then original?
If all you really want is pictures and birthdays in contacts, HTC Sense has built-in Facebook integration for that. Have you tried going to settings (in Sense not the start menu)-data services-click on Facebook under social networks and set that up? That's how I sync my contacts with my Facebook. Btw, for general Facebook browsing I highly recommend either the FIM app, the XDAFacebook app, or the m.facebook.com site as mentioned before.
Thanks for reply!
Yes, I have done this. From there I have from half on my friends pictures and birthdays already in my HD2 contacts. But in this list, what will open when I want to link someone with Facebook, there isnt half of my friends listed! Thats the problem! They arent listed in Facebook app too. Also I think, that the Facebook app and HD2 Social Network systems are connected to eachother. When one is not working then the other is also crap
Still no solution for my problem!!! Anyone?

i think it has something to do with your friends' privacy settings. if they have platform applications disabled, you will not see their name, photo, id, anything. i have some contacts that are not showing up either, though.
quick question: when you go to htc album, select any friend's facebook album, and browse images, do they download for you guys? i have troubles for 2 days with those now. i only have a cross.
Hi,does anyone have an issue with adding Facebook account to the list of accounts under the "Account&Sync" setting? Each time I select the Facebook icon,it doesn't do anything which makes it impossible to create the FB account. I'm trying to make my Facebook contacts available/visible in the stock android contact app just like the HTC phones

i think the facebook app is not compatible fully to honeycomb
cheers guys,i thought as much i.e. the fb app not being compatible
will the facebook will be compatible, because it's suppose to be SOCIAL NETWORK Friendly, (social jogger...)
so should be 100% facebook compatible, but the problem come from facebook as well so far the latest version is not stable.
both of part have to works on it.
I ll wait.
Google has specifically mentioned that Facebook account sync (contact sync) has been disabled in 3.0 and upwards due to privacy issues which facebook has not addressed.
Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?
Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?
Thank you ppl!
I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.
The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).
The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.
You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...
I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..
Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..
No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.
Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much
Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.
