Facebook links with contacts? - HD2 General

hi!
I've linked most of my contacts with Facebook but for some reason some of them will not come up with pictures and the ones that do never seem to update when said person changes their profile pic, not a big problem but does anyone know of a way to fix this??
thanks!

shameless bump!!

I had the same problem. But if u just kept removing the facebook link and readding them it should work. if not leave it for a few days and it should work. But there is deffo a bug with the contact pics getting added.
Bit of a pain really.

I have had a similar problem. Try scrolling to the updates option and tell it to update. Typing this on the hd2. Wierd problem it scrolls the text box up to far when i get the keyboard out so i cant see what i am typing

I think its got to do with privacy settings for that contact....

That might explain the one contact i have that still wont work but the rest are sll working for me now.

Problem with Google Contacts Sync on updated ROM?

I just wanted to ask whether anyone else had run into the same problem or now. I have installed HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 on my unbranded Hero and it has been great. Really fast and it seems less buggy.
However I had one major issue. When I turned on my phone this morning all my contacts were gone! So I went into data synchronisation and made sure the box was ticked.
I ticked and unticked it, however things aren't quite syncing up properly at the moment. The contacts are back, but when I make edits on my phone they are not carrying through to google's servers ... Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: I have tried syncing my contacts again. After the little arrows stop spinning the last updated time still stays the same. It's stuck on 07:22 at the moment and it's 07:39 here ...
EDIT2: This problem exists on the wifi and mobile data connection.
Could it be that this is a problem on Google's end?
Woah! And we're back!
It seems to have fixed itself!
Not for me. Still have this issue, does anyone else?
God damn! My Hero deleted all its contacts again. It takes ages to sync changes and if you do too many at once it just doesn't do it, crashes and deletes all your contacts.
NOT awesome!
I have posted a support ticket with HTC, I'll see what they say.
I already experienced an "issue" with a delay from google contacts.
But I deleted everything, then synched and after a while (about 15 minutes) all contacts where shining in my Hero.
I have similar issue.
I can get my contacts from Google but cannot make new ones on the server side. I will check it thoroughly later on and report you back.
Google add to contact
The whole option to add to Google contacts is missing on mine. Google contacts are still present and seemingly updating.
So not exactly the same behaviour, but might be worth checking your phone.

Link to Facebook Buggy

I have a TMO TP2. This does not involve the fb app but rather the built in feature to link a contact to a fb account. I've searched the forums but haven't found a similar issue described.
When I go to a contact, click Edit Contact, then click Link at the bottom under the Facebook heading, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I can't consistently reproduce the issue but I can describe some of the common themes I see. It's unfortunate because it seems to happen more often than not and it's quite annoying.
Sometimes it pulls up my fb contacts list and lets me select a fb account and it works no problem. I'm not having any problems with delinking or anything like that. It appears to be an issue pulling up the list of facebook users. In those instances, the screen flickers as it tries to pull up the fb contacts and it appears to crash or something. The screen then flickers back to edit contact. If I try long enough or wait and try a while later, it may work for the same contact.
An error is never displayed when I do this although sometimes after trying to link a contact and seeing it not work I'll go back to the home screen I'll see that touchflo 3d is launching (indicating that perhaps it crashed) or sometimes it'll even require that I tap the screen to relaunch touchflo 3d.
Another possible clue is that sometimes in my list of facebook contacts I'll see the very first contact listed as (null), (null). I have no idea if this has anything to do with why it's crashing or not but that's clearly not one of my facebook contacts.
Last possible tip is when I go to all contacts and then click on the updates and events toggle at the bottom. Again, the behavior is inconsistent but sometimes it'll pull up that screen for a couple of seconds and without touching or scrolling or anything it'll show an error with manila.exe.
Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? Anyone have a suggestion for a possible fix or what I can do to further troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.
i know this doesnt solve your problem but it might do you good to know you are not alone cos I have a similar problem as well. I use the Vodafone stock ROM and recently when i try get click the UPDATES tab from my contacts, it crashes and relaunches TFD....I think something must have gone wrong with the connection. I then asked another person to log into into face book to see if this was still going to crash the application and sadly it did. I did a hard reset and i then did a restore from my last sprite backup file (which luckily for me, was just a few hours old as i ran a back up during the day). Now i cant get my own contacts back on the update tab and even though it does not crash anymore, I cant seem to link anyone in my phone book to my facebook app. I guess there is a file that needs deleting that can fix this. Anyone got any ideas?

Is anybody having the wrong organization show up.

I have had no real issues with my N1 since I got it. I have been using CM's roms. The other day I noticed that when I was making and receiving calls the wrong organization was showing up. I noticed that if I deleted a contact and reentered it it fixed that contact. I have 200+ contacts with multiple entries and would like to see if anybody has an easier way to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance,
Manny
same here.
the organization is shown up wrong in the in-call page.
in my case, the contacts were synced via Gmail. I've checked there and the information is set correctly. even on the phone, if I go to edit the contact details, the organization is shown correctly. only when in the in-call page, the information is wrong...
tried to re-sync several times with Gmail after changing some information, only to test, but it won't correct the situation...
Same here. Contacts sync'd from Google/Gmail. Everything shows up find on both Google and phone's contact list, but in-call display shows something different.
I though it was me lol!
Yeh i noticed that, not sure if it was doing this on older cyanogen roms or not.
Funny...I get one contact picture for all of my contacts that have an organization assigned??? She's not even in the organization.
I am glad that I am not the only one. I even turned of sync and deleted all the contacts on my gmail and on phone. Then restored a back up to my gmail account and let the phone sync up but it didn't fix it. The only way I have corrected it on some contacts is to delete them and reenter them. Its okay when the only have one number but when they have multiple numbers and emails it will be a hassle.
i hope this gets into cyanogene's issue list and will be fixed within the next release.
I have the same issue.
Is anyone experiencing this issue syncing their contacts with Facebook? This was an issue for me when I first got my N1 and not syncing my contacts with Facebook fixed it.
same issue here.
Me too got same bug
I am glad that I am not the only one, but I would have expected someone to have a solution. I will have to do more searching.
Wrong Organization
I am also getting wrong organization for the calls coming in. It is quite disconcerting, because I need this data to be right. However, I fulfill this need by using the name and number to figure it out myself, and by asking the caller who they're calling from. This should be fixed soon.
I have model Nexus One, firmware 2.1-update1, baseband 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2, kernel 2.6.33.1-cyanogenmod [email protected] #1, mod version CyanogenMod-5.0.5.3-N1, build #EPE54B.
P.S., with all my "should"s, of course I am very grateful for any and all work that's gone into this for otherwise uncompensated work. I'm leaning toward learning this programming myself, so if anybody insists and points me to the right primers, I could fix it myself.

Updates and Events problem

I'm having a problem with the 'events and updates feature' retrieving updates from facebook.
When I select the 'update now' option in the 'updates and events' section for a contact it never retrieves any facebook information for any of the contacts.
All of my contacts are correctly linked to their facebook accounts but the application never picks up ANY updates.
Any ideas? I'm on O2 btw
your "me" contact card needs to be logged in, check that, also in the pictures tab, albums, switch to facebook tab..can you see their pictures?
if not you're not logged in.
Hi thanks for replying
yes I can see my 'me' contact card in the updates and events and can also see the facebook pictures in the facebook tab so it appears to be logged in fine.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I dont use facebook so cant really suggest anything else. I do know from the missus that fbook website has been flakey for her this past week or two, and i'm sure i read they are currently moving datacenters or something, so who knows. Maybe your friends just all stopped updating!
I dont really know how the application itself works, but for me, the updates seem to take a while (as an indication, about 3 or 4 minutes for 500 friends over wifi - dont know how big a difference the number of friends make). I've got to keep touching the screen so that it doesn't go into "sleep" mode otherwise it stops and I have to start again.
If I leave the screen on the "Updates and Events" page while it says "Updating...", the info will not automatically update even once all the data has been downloaded. I have to move across to another page (eg, Favourites, Groups, etc and then scroll back to see the actual updates.
Hope this helps .
btw.. I'm on Dutty's V1.5, if that makes any difference.
I have the same problem
it say ( updating...) when i click update now
but then the (updating ..) dissapears and nothing updated !!!!
but when i click update on a selected contact .. it become update !!!!
it was working fine ..i dont know what happened ?
Facebook updates working only for some contacts
For me it works for some contacts but not for all.
Just got my HD2 2 days ago, so so far only 10 people/contacts are linked to facebook.
- 9 fail to deliver/retrieve updates,
- 1 works
I noticed that the one status update that I received was really new, so I just wonder if there is somewhere a setting on how old the status updates can be, to be seen on the HD2.
I also had on unanswered event request, that one worked well.
One more issue, I can browse the album of almost all facebook contacts, but it's not working for one. does anybody know what could be the reason. Are only alboms which are set to be viewed by anybody browsable by HD2 (not the ones only visible to friends)?
I had the same issue, worked for a few days then would attempt to update, appeared to do so but no new info present.
Ended up having to go to Start/settings/data services/social networks and turn off facebook and then do it again.
After this for some strange reason it now works and has continued to for weeks.

[Q] Facebook pic on contacts

First of all, sry if this is posted somwhere but doing severall search and nothing come out.
Sync Facebook to contacts, and Galaxy is doing some weird things to the contact pictures picked up from Facebook, shrinking or expanding to fit the total resolution available.
Leaving ppl with a really strange look, either to thin or to large.
Even in Samsung app Friends Now is happening the same. Or if you had a shortcut of a contact to UI.
My question, is it possible to prevent SGS to Stretch/Skew this pictures...?
Thanks in advance.
Strange to see close to 100 views and no one claiming to have same issue.
If someone as same problem pls reply.
Brgds
It fits the images to a certain box. That is how it works.
Dont know anything more helpful. Anoying yes but I havent really thought about it
Same here, images get stretched to fit the box. Annoying indeed. One fix would be creating a local contact and linking it to the facebook contact, then download a picture from the facebook site and add it to the local contact. That way the local picture will show up. I wish the phone did this automatically though.
Also, how come there's no "set as contact picture" option in the browser or in Facebook S? Cmon, it's a must feature!
