I have few contacts with link to their facebook accounts (with photos, birthdays synced etc.). It works normal. But it fails if someone closed their facebook account, or banned from facebook for some reason etc.
- If you go to updates & events tab (in the all contacts), manila crashes.
- If you update anything with facebook, manila crashes.
(Every second crash requires soft reset.)
I dont know if it mentioned before. If so, sorry. I am using Dutty's WM 6.5 R10, but I think its manila related. Someone should fix it.

Always use that thread what rom you are using. In this case you'll have to go to another forum, and this is right thread -> http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313

Please dont be rude. .You said you had this in one rom, so you should really keep it in the thread related to that rom. That's the basic ettiquette of this forum..
as to "someone should fix this" what exactly do you expect?
you're using a not even beta piece of software that's been leaked from a device that hasn't even been announced never mind have support for, that you didnt pay for!
try this..
delete facebook*.vol in and try again
This issue is cause when having a lot of friends on facebook.
I had the same problem in dutty's rom, but on Leo's rom, I did not have this problem!
its not in one rom. and its not causing by too many friends, it have to just end link between contact and facebook account when user does not exist. deleting .vol is a workaround, i know about this. but its still an annoying bug. (i had it leo's rom also)
Tried unticking the troublesome contact when you go to select which contacts to sync?
This has nothing to do with rom development

It can fix the problem. BUT if you have hundrets of contacts, then you have to know which one is troublesome. And you must check one by one, since you dont know which is.

surely there must be a quicker way of synchronising all your contacts, you have to go to the contact then press the updates button then press link profile....
wait 2 minutes for the list to load then select the person.
is there not a way i can connect it to activesync somehow? i have over 50 peoples profiles to link up to! any advice is much appreciated
what i did is i changed all of my contacts who have a facebooks names to how they exactly apear on their face book, this way when you link link all of their profiles their automatically linked right away. Since i flash alot this makes the process a whole lot easier
Does anybody have a problem with some contacts not syncing the pictures properly? Most of them work but some do not. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
I'm on a Touch Pro CDMA. NFSFAN's ROM.

yepper..its happened on lots of roms lately, but only the last week maybe two weeks..dunno whats goin on with it. it used to work flawless for me.
Damn wrangler, only you and I seem to have this problem. Hopefully somebody can shed some light on it.
Hey, try something for me. If you use Outlook to sync contacts as well, try using the program Outsync. I get the same problem with the SAME contacts using that program. This would indicate to me that it's a privacy settings issue...or something wrong with facebook's server? It keeps getting weirder.

WARNING:
There are some contact picture file formats likely to make the sync process server-to-phone to stall.
Nearly one third of my contacts info remain in Microsoft servers, without being able to recover them to my phone. Process always freezes at aprox. 250 transfered out of 355!
It is not an isolated case
There are several reports at MS forums since service started as beta!

Never had an issue with it. What formats are you using that you think is causing the problem?
I've already had to deal with this when MyPhone first came out... there is a problem with some contact photo's, though i don't know what type (gif, jpg, jpeg, etc)... but the fix was easy... just remove the pic (from your's you might just want to remove contact 250 and beyond) and then the sync will work just fine.... actually still use the program. I have my contacts set to get the pic from facebook contacts or through the one they have on my outlook...
Well its abit harsh to tell chefs to remove something that many people are using without faults? Just because something does not work for some due to user initiated error shouldn't be reason to remove it from all roms?
How about just give a warning to all users that they should use either photos taken from their phone camera or photos from facebook sync to be safe, otherwise myphone may not sync.
Personally I have used photos from my DSLR with no compression etc, facebook sync'd pictures and photos from my phone camera with no problems at all. I have been using it since its inception.
Again no need to be hasty and tell chefs to take something out that many are using without problems. If anything, you have now learning a lesson that involves making more than one backup using PIMbackup and myphone?
i know it can be a pain, i had that problem once but i was able to narrow it down to the contacts that where giving me problems i only have 63, in your case it may actually be only one contact that is making it freeze, i guess one thing you could do is use outlook or delete the contacts that aren't on the phone already via online, or try to figure out which ones are messing up.
The only bug i had is that it created duplicate contacts. The funny things was that not all contact where created dubble, only some..
Same Contact bug here.
Even more anoying are the shifted dates (by 1h) for 'all day' appointments only. After the next sync these appointments are doubled =(
any solutions for that?

I´ve just decided to delete my comments
I can confirm this bug, as it happened to me aswell...
When I had the HTC Diamond I installed SPB mobileshell 3 and since it hde facebook "integration" I used profile-pictures from facebook as pictures for my contacts. and here somewhere is where the bug is located I believe: when you use SPB to crop the images from facebook on your phone, something gets messed up - you can sync and backup to "My Phone" as usual but when you want to re-sync/restore you're not able
what I had to do was to use a .gif picture I think it was and change it on all contacts on MyPhone and then sync " one page of contacts" at a time
so just a warning with using MyPhone and SPB Mobile Shell
The only thing that prevents me from flashing my phone to a different ROM is that i lose all the Facebook associations for my contacts. Having a lot of contacts this is a real pain to reassign them all.
Wondering if theres anyway this can be restored or backed up to Microsoft Myphone or other backup programs.
i use google sync, and it keeps them.
outlook saves the association just fine. Its just a tag in the notes field.
This really annoys me too. I use myphone to sync and that doesn't appear to keep facebook associations and I can't really be bothered to use Outlook or google.

no myphone keeps those links just fine. i flashed to another rom and everything was still linked.
also, when you look into the contacts on the myphone site there is something added in the notes field, there the link is stored.
for example i see stuff like
Code:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxxx</sn><HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxxx</Facebook>
</HTCData>

don't forget the associations won't start tutti work until you link the "me"contact card to your facebook after flashing.

Interesting.... My contacts have the sn tag but don't seem to have the facebook tag for some reason. Is there something I need to do on the phone or on myphone to get it to pull this?
This is what I'm currently seeing in the other information/notes field for a contact that i've linked to facebook:
<sn>id:xxxxxxxxx/friendof:xxxxxxxxx</sn><FDMID>xxxxxxxxx</FDMID>
I'm running the 1.66.405.2 official UK ROM without any real tweaks to anything else.
Just 2 questions
1. Is there a way of sync-ing your phone contacts with facebooks so it uses the contacts face book picture etc, i can do this individualy but is there a way of doing it in one big go.
2. Can you sync your facebook calander to the HTC HD2 calander?
1. Login your facebook account in Setting/Data services. It will sync your contact with facebook avatar and birthday but the names in your contact book must be the same with your facebook friend names, if not, u have to sync one by one
2. I dont think we can
Anybody know of a better facebook app out there for the HD2?? Lets face it, the one that comes out of the box is about as much use as tits on a fish.......
There is an updated version floating around

Does the integration remain after a new ROM flash? If the names have been changed etc the first time, should do I guess?

the integration info is saved in the 'notes' field of your contact. once you sync back AND associate your phone with fb they will all re sync.
The one reason syncing with fb is good: profile pictures. Most of my friends dont like me to sit there, and take a picture of them when they give me their number, so this helps.

This works for most of my contacts, but I had to do a hard reset ant almost 1/4 didn't have nothing in Notes field - so didn't associate automatically. Is there any way to make a "full resync" or something similar so I don't have to manually associate those contacts next time?
P.S. something more simple than manually adding a Note
Does anyone have problem with this facebook sync. Everytime I try to sync, my HD2 gets verry laggy until it don't respond, and I have to pull my battery. This happens when i manually select update now, or if my phone is set to automaticaly update. Its really annoying
It's smooth for me
Maybe sth related to ur rom. Try hard-reset or flash another rom
I have done hard reset a bunch of times. HTC customer support told me to install the latest ROM, and then do a hard reset. I tryed it, but with no luck. Everything else, works like a charm. I do use ROM from HTC 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR. Maybe I should look into some custom ROM's? Any tips for a good rom? I have been searching the forum and there is so many to choose from. Can I use anyone? Or should it be one for Norway?
Do u have HSPL on your phone? If yes, try to install a couple of cook roms. Remember to do a task 29 before flashing any rom. If u have no idea about what HSPL or Taks29 is, please do take a look in the HD2 Rom development, read threads about them, and there's also a thread for noob flashing guide. It takes time but worth it.
I can suggest u a couple of cook roms I've used but it's better that u should look into the Rom threads to see which one suit ur needs, every rom is really good and fast, stable more than stock rom. I can recommend some such as CleanEX, Energy or Touch-X
there is a program called SocialSync can be found here
SocialSync 0.1
Imports (one-way synchonization) your Facebook contacts to your Pocket Outlook.
Supports the following sync mappings:
* Facebook super-sized profile pic --> Outlook Picture
* Facebook Full Name --> Outlook's FileAs, FirstName, MiddleName, LastName
* Facebook Profile URL --> Outlook GovernmentID
* Facebook Relationship Status --> Outlook Spouse
* Facebook Birthday --> Outlook Birthday
* Adds "facebook" to Outlook Categories
* Facebook Status --> Outlook JobTitle
* Facebook Personal Website --> Outlook Website URL (only first one since Outlook only supports 1 URL)
* Facebook Email (image representation) --> Outlook Email
Supported on:
WM2003, WM5, WM6, WM6.5, WM6.5.3
QVGA (240x320) Portrait (want more formats? donate!)
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
i tried it on my HD2, it does work but it does take a long time to sync and transfer facebook details to your contacts (well maybe for me coz i linked like 100+ contacts)
but one thing good about this is that it edited the birthday field on my contacts on my device, and now can be used by manilaBirthday
also, if contact doesnt exist on your device, u can add friends from FB to ur contact list
question... if i login to the sense facebook without enabling it to download automatically every 2 hours, would facebook in sense still try to update by itself?
the reason here is i logged in to facebook in sense but did not enable automatic downloading yet surprisingly my phone started to access my internet. others experience the same?
does any1 know how to get the facebook sync back in action after turning it off. I disabled it temporarily, but I lost all the synced data as a result. After reactivating it, it no longer syncs (although for some reason it seems to acknowledge that the contacts have a facebook profile linked to them, but it is unable to download photos, updates etc)
Is there anyway to do it aside from a hard reset? Something I'd rather avoid
I'm using the stock ROM 3.14 (WWE)
Facebook for hd2 or hd2 for facebook?
No one has come across "snaptu"? Go to http://m.snaptu.com . there you download a app for your hd2, there is unsigned and verisigned which i dont understand the significance of it. But i lliked it. It is a JAVA app so you need to run JBlend and then snaptu app. i can do everything as on a computer except CHAT. Do you know anything better? please tell me. especially one that you can chat with.
Sorry I couldnt reply to elelinux's original post of realsing the

Hello,
I'm really happy with this Rom, thank you to all participating on it!
One issue I found:
I cannot create another calendar with the calendar App. I only have the Google-calendar which is synchronising fine with my Google-account, but I would like to have a second offline-one.
Any suggestions how to add another calendar?
(normally you do it in the calendar app with the dialogue "my calendars")
Cheers, Otze

Hello,
coming from Cronos 2.2.0.0 Sense Éclair, I am using this ROM for a few days now and I am very happy with it. The only problem I have so far is the calendar, the same like Otze in post 965. There is only the Google calendar but I need the local Android calendar. Is this a HTC Sense feature or am I doing something wrong?
Any hints are welcome.

So people just read and never reply...
resolved
Hi guys, it's really like this,
when you flashed the elelinux 2.3.4 ROM, by default the feature of auto sync is not automatically enabled(activitated?) after you setting up either gmail or corporate mail accounts. Before you enable, you can only find gmail calendar in any style of calendar or agenda application. Even when you click on the accounts and manually sync them will make no change. So to summar up, the only thing need to do, is to enable the auto sync feature at least one to let all of your calendar and agenda software aware that you have your own calendar besides Gmail calendar. And I dont know if this is a bug or not... Hope elelinux saw this post!
Glad you solve it!
By the way, if people didn't answer you, it's very likely they didn't know what was the issue..
