Hello,
I've got this specific problem and i haven't find any answer about it in the other threads; I have linked the contacts to their facebook profiles, but if i can't see photos in the their albums. I can see if there are albums for every contact (name, number of pictures, etc.) but when the system tries to load the pictures, i can't see anything.
Could you help me about this issue?
Thanks very much to everyone

Go to one of your contacts which you have linked to facebook profile. Now scroll down to edit contact. Then click on picture and you should be presented with a choice to use either facebook profile photo or one from file
This is a common problem that most of the Manila 2.5 cooked ROMs have. Actually the only ROMs that i found that facebook Albums work is Dutty's R0 Holy Grail and the new XannyTechROM Leo 2.4 Turbo.
Even with those two though it's a give and take situation. You get the album, but you lose the automatic update of facebook Events and Updates and you need to update each contact individually to get the status updates.

Thanks to all for your advices.
I've tried the cab attached, and it works perfectly!
I've fixed the problem with it.
Thank you very much!
3lixir and Fallen Spartan can you please post your facebookSDK.dll files from /windows
I would appreciate it so that i can test to see if it will fix the problem.
3lixir i will test the cab you posted and report back. Thanks
the manilla 2.1 & 2.5 have the option to link your contacts with their facebook profile.
I flash ROMs all the time and have to RE-link all contacts manually which takes hours... (some of it is AUTO but only if thre's a perfect mach between your contact's name in your outlook and his name on facebook)
does anyone know where this info (the link between contacts & facebook) is stored ? so I can copy it and paste it back in the new ROM ?
Do you sync with outlook. My facebook favorites are stored on the contact in outlook under notes. I linked them once and never had to do it again, even though I flash about 5 times a week.

thnx for your reply,
yes, I use outlook.
is it possible that manilla 2.5 DOES remember the facebook-contact link and manilla 2.1 DOESN'T ?
because I think that's what happens.
anyway, I'm looking for the file on my phone (not my PC) that contains that info.

Both version of Manila sync the contacts, 2.5 is just more flash. What version of Outlook are you using?
Also there are several options if you use PIM Backup or something similar to save you time after a re-flash.
I use google exchange server/contacts and the facebook did not relink automatically but I havent tried to see why yet. I will try some things out since I am flashing some new roms.
using office & outlook 2007
PIMbackup is very good - my problem is that I sync my phone with windows7 and there are A LOT of problems with it, that is why I wouls rather sync my phone "empty" and not after I backup it with an app (PIMbackup, SPB, Myphone, google etc...).
SO, I will be glad to know where the info is stored on the phone.
Hi,
I finally got some of my friends phone contact to sync with facebook. I can see a little small picture of them in contact, but I don't seem to get the picture to display when I make a phone call. Am I missing something or can you make their facebook picture as dialing display picture by clicking on something ?
Thanks.
Mine does it, I log into facebook through my contacts and it puts all my facebook contact friends pic as the contact pic in my phone.
1) Hit people tab
2) all people
3) 3rd icon should be facebook (updates and events)
4) know tap on Me/ My Updates
Thats how I do it and it works flawlessly. GL.
It should do that automatically. Have you tried with more than one person? I'm having a similar problem, but only with one contact. Works fine for the most part.
When you go to edit contact info, press their picture in the top right and you should have the option to set as facebook picture.
maybe its a manila 2.5 issue. I will try the same thing with a 2.1 manila rom and see if it will sync properly with the display picture when dialing.
Mine is also doing the same thing. It displays the picture under favorite people and in the contact list, but when making or receiving a call it does not display the picture. Im running ark666's rom
I have the same problem with Leo rom running sense 2.5/maxmanilla
I thought I was doing something wrong. I am running art666 Rhodium AF as well.

I will report this on his thread and attach this link to the post as well. Thanks everyone.
it works fine for me, but i have a problem, that whenever a contact changes his picture the picture isn't changed on my phone....i can't find anything to update the pictures.....i tried also to remove the pic and then to add the facebook link again, but i always get the old picture...
i forgot to write that i use the original HTC WM6.5 rom
for the most part the pairing to facebook pics work fine for me, however i've found that some of my facebook friends aren't available when i search for them to link to their contact info. there are about 30 friends on my facebook that for some reason aren't available to link. i'm using the tilt 2, stock ROM. any ideas?
I also have this problem
I found out that the dialer instead of using the picture from facebook, it uses the picture that is on the winmo default contacts...
Does anyone knows a fix to display only the facebook picture instead the one that's on the winmo contacts??
well i had this trouble but i updated my rom and backed-up my contact using pimpackup. it backups the contact and sets the current (facebook) picture as outlook picture. then you reinstall the backup file which will delele all your pim and install your contact with their default pictures as outlook thus end any dialer problems you're having. you should call and see their the picture you had
Hmm, I always use PIMBackup to backup and restore the contacts, and always have the default pictures from the outlook. But what I want is that facebook pictures become the default ones...
Which program are you guys using to sync your contacts with FB?

It is built in to HTC sense. If you go to all people and then slide over to updates and events then log into your FB account
Ohh, I have the TP2. . . can I download a program that will do this?

it is built into the TP2, if you are using the touch flo ui. Slide over to the people tab and select all people and then slide over to udates and events and log in

You could try this, remember to read the whole thing first
I don't have an issue with the pictures, but stuff like birth dates. For some reason, when I sync contacts with FB, I get their birthdates and with a FB logo next to it. All well and good, except the birthdates won't pop up on my calendar, making it practically useless.
Now, if I type in their birth date manually it automatically updates the calendar.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Have a look here. It is what I use
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

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.
