Hi,
Kinda new to this touch business, is there anyway that you can have multiple albums so you can archive pics better, rather than just having a picture albums with hundreds of pics to go through? i.e family, contacts, fun etc etc etc
Thanks in advance,
DV
yes... put them in whatever directory... you set which ever directory as you favorite its one default shown on the Tab but you click albums.. and brows if a dir has pics it will show as an album
Is there some sort of application that allows me to link contacts to facebook pages from my computer, and then somehow mass updates the contacts on the phone? The link to facebook is just some XML in the contact notes, so in principle this should be possible.
The same question has been asked here yesterday - i can't post the link as there is a restriction from doing so *rubbish* but it's topic id is 636175 and isn't too far down the forum...
Anyways, it apparently works with myphone, but I don't seem the XML that everyone else does for some reason and so my facebook links don't save

when you sync back your contacts after a flash/hard reset, the data to link them to their facebook equivalents should already be there. However, the links won't start to work until you have reassigned your 'me' contact card to your facebook account. When you do that, you should find the facebook links are restored. (not the facenbook app)
i'm afraid that's not what i'm looking for, myphone backs up my contact facebook associations just fine, i'm just looking for a simpler way to create those associations in the first place, preferably through the computer
Sorry if I misunderstand you, but doesn't the people/facebook app pop up and say 'click here to associate your contacts' and most of them are already pre-checked?
Note I'm NOT talking about the one on an individual person's page, but the one on the 'all people' list.
In the two seconds that process takes, 80% of my contacts were covered. The other 20% being people who I have as 'Jon XYZ' but they are 'Jonathan XYZ' on FB (or vice-versa.)
Or are you one of those people who doesn't do first name/last name and is looking for a way to get around that?
that's exactly what i need! it didn't do that with me, is there a way launch that synchronization manually?
I'm... not sure. I'm sure there is but I don't know how.
Just to make sure you're not missing anything obvious:
Go to the People tab
Click All People at the bottom
You're now at the "All" tab within a new screen -- you should see your fb contact as "Me" listed as the second contact -- do you see this 'link your facebook contacts' around here? (If it exists on this screen, it'll be one of the top three contacts.)
If not, use the slider on that same screen to scroll over to 'Updates and Events'. You'll see yourself at the very top here, and I'm almost positive that it was on this screen where it had 'link your contacts.' It wasn't in a menu or anything, it was very prominently displayed as one of the top items.
When/if you can find that screen, it's basically a dumb match that looks for Contacts(First Name,Last Name) = Facebook(First Name,Last Name). I'm not sure if it pairs on email address, but AFAIK it needs the full name to be exactly the same.
HTH.
**This all assumes you entered your facebook credentials when setting up your phone (or from the data sync menu under the settings tab afterwards) - completely separate from any fb app you may have on your phone. I'm pretty sure you have done this since you mentioned the XML in the contacts but just to be absolutely positive.
I've been looking at this problem since you first posted, and the main problem I see is that I can't see a way to un associate the me contact from face book (in order to re associate so that the contact association screen comes up)
dashed annoying!
i see what you mean, i'm going to look for a way to do that
Have you tried Fonebook!

I can do all the sync with facebook and Outlook. Give a look at this!

I think you could momentarily switch off the Facebook connection altogether do accomplish that. It's under "Data services" (on the settings tab).

Yea, thanks, that got it, however when i logged back in (through 'me' contact card) it doesnt ask about associations as when you do it the first time. Oh well.
i just found an option do associate the contacts for you! if u scroll to the contacts tab in HTC sense then scroll to updates and events (its the picture of the person with a clock next to their head) i had a button at the tob which said 'Associate contacts: XX new associations found (xx being the number of new associations)' tap this and select the contacts you want to update (by default it selects all) then tap ok. it will create the associations for any contacts that arnt associated. it will also set the default contact picture to the facebook profile. it will make your contacts lag a bit while it downloads the info but after that it runs fine
if it helps im running 1.66 official hd2 rom from HTC, with radio 2.08

Sorry to reopen this thread, but I'm one of those people! I would also be interested in finding a way to add/backup my fb associations on the PC as MyPhone does not seem to sync them for me I get the fb id's in the <sn> field but not in the <facebook> ones =/
Hello!
It's been a few day since a have this weird problem.
When I go into contacts, I don't get a profile picture of all the contacts linked with facebook. I do get the little blue/white "f" (facebooklogo) in the lower left corner of the picture of the standard contact avatar, but no profile picture.
When I then go to edit the contact, it does show the facebook profile picture in the upper right corner (right under the "X"). Clicking on it opens a window called "Set Contact Photo", and I select "Facebook Profile" again. But it doesn't change a thing...
So the pictures are stored on my device yet it won't display them in my contactslist.
Does anyone know a solution for my problem??
Thanks!
Have you moved your HTC Album cache to the SD card recently?
Either that or remove it and then browse through photos in the album tab.

I haven't moved it. Also removing all the cache doesn't solve the problem ...
I tried to find the place where all the profile pictures are stored but I can't find it.
Hi
Does anyone know how I can use the facebook profiles pics as my contact pictures instead of the default ones i have?
This is easily possible in HTC phones.
but when i synced the facebook on my SGS2, it made 2 different contacts with 2 different pics, and if i try to join them, it keeps the default pic and ignores the facebook pic.
ANY IDEAS??
Please move this thread to Q&A section...
Did you try joining the other way round?
Separate the two entries... select the FB contact and then join the other entry to it
Already tried that... doesn't help.
GOT IT!
OK I got it...
open any contact that you have joined with all other available ones for the same> press menu> select "mark as default" > then just select your preferences... VOILA!!
Good One... Thanks !!
Haha I had the same issue but magically found the option too after mashing a few buttons here and there
Hi.
I'm running official Android 5.0 (BOC1) on a G900FD (dual sim) variant
When I have a contact with linked sources (google, facebook, linkedin, etc.) I will have different photos/names for the same contact.
Before (on KitKat) I could choose the default info for each field (photo, name, numbers, e-mails) by taping the 3 dots on the top right corner and selecting "Mark as default". But now this option isn't there.
Is it just me?
I have a workaround for the phone numbers, but I can't choose any defaults for the other fields.
Can you guys give me a hand?
Thank you.

It is there for me, from the contacts edit screen tap the tree dots at the top right and the 3rd option down is Set as Default
Version is BOC7 (BTU) firmware

I've spent few hours yesterday trying to figure this out. I'm also missing "Mark as default" for all my contacts. I tried to create a dummy contact with two numbers and this one had this option. So my next step was to disable ALL syncing (FB, Google, LinkedIn, WhatsUp, Viber...), deleted all my contacts from phone, import them again via SmartSwitch and voila Mark as default was here. BUT, the minute I re-enabled sync it disappeared again.
My next problem is with contact picture. It seems that picture is changed with picture from last linked contact and I can't change it, ie. for my contact A I have a pic from device, when I link it to FB contact it will be changed with picture from FB and if I link it to Google contact it will then change pic from Google. There is no option to select which picture to use.
