I just installed the facebook app... Although it looks quite nice, it seems to have a major problem with the comments: For example, if several people comment on my (or a friend's) status update, only the uppermost comment is shown. You do not even know that other comments exist!
Since FB is a social networking tool, and the comments (and the "likes" for that matter, which also seem not be supported) are a fundamental way to communicate within it, the app will be of no use unless these issues are addressed. I do not know whether there is a newer version of FB for mobile available soon, but this one unfortunately is of no use to me...

You can uploading photo to FB with the client Facebook of Microsoft, but you must have a good data connection and the photo should have a resolution of 1M
max

I upload from my TD2 by email - see http://www.facebook.com/mobile/?ref=pf. Just click on 'send my upload email to me now' and you will be given a dedicated email address.
To send photos, tap the envelope icon in the TD2 album and enter the email address. Whatever you put in the subject line of the email then appears as the photo caption.

Use ShoZu for uploading, gives you a popup immediatly when you've snapped a photo, "upload to facebook?".
Use FB integration for other FB-use. (search forum: "Facebook integration, what is it and how to get it back")

Size of contact pictures?

Hello Forum,
Does anybody know what the ideal size for the contact pictures would be (in pixel)? Coming from the Diamond to the Diamond 2 I was very much surprised to see that the "old" D1 pictures looked quite ugly on the D2. Now I want to be ready for the HD2 when it arrives on Friday.
Anyone?
Greetings, Studebaker

Afraid I can't answer that question myself, but I can tell you that the Facebook integration with your contact list is very well done indeed (once you find it lol!!)
It automatically takes the top-center part of the current contact photo and uses that, so it makes them optimal size (since it does it itself!)
If you've got all, or most of, your contacts on Facebook, you've got nothing to worry about.

Somewhat true.
Apart from on mine I have three contacts who refuse to sync with facebook. I can't view any of their pictures via facebook mobile and I cannot see their small display pic.
More of a problem with crappy facebook mobile I think though.

Have you tried individually associating each contact with their facebook profile, via the Sense UI?

How?
If you mean go to the contact - link with facebook - then selecting them from the facebook list, then yes I have tried this. It has a downward arrow next to their silhouette for a few secs then just gives up.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thought it was worth asking. It took me quite a while to find that, and I've been playing with Sense on my HD for quite a while now. Maybe I'm just a slow learner

Facebook contact as display pictures ??

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?

Sync'n with Facebook

Is there a way to sync all my contacts with facebook in one go instead of having to go into each individual contact and link to facebook ?? thanks

im not sure if this will work but worth a try
go to contacts in Sense
click ALL people
See the grey icons along the bottom? slide across to Updates and Events
Now somewhere in hear it listed all my contacts that it had matched with Facebook itself (i think) and gave a load of tickbox's to confirm that I wanted to match them. You might have to do a little snooping around but it was defo here somewhere....
Good luck!

i have the same question, so i tried what you sugested but when i go to that tab it says no updates. i have logged in with the facebook application, manually linking works.

Sorry guys, I only stumbled across it today ...... and now I can't find it again.

ok , something strange is happening.....
i went into where suggest and did the update , there were initially 4 contacts already in there for some reason, then after the update there were five of my mates.
however, all the others seemed to have linked as well on their own as peoples FB photos are now in my contact list ?!
strange , but somehow it seems to have worked

I just went to contacts-updates it then showed in updates how many names had been matched to profiles

How exactly do I do this? If i go into updates it only has me with my facebook messages and requests.
Really would like to sync numbers as I cba to do them 1 by 1!

worth noting here that the info that tells the phone the contact is also facebook linked is written to the 'notes' field of the contact card, meaning that solong as you have synced your contact list with a service that takes all available fields, (pretty sure most do, i use outlook 2007) the facebook links will still be set when you do a hard reset and restore the contacts, so you never need to link them again. Just log in yourself to facebook and the links are all there in teh contact list already.
(It also strangely seems to hold the ones that are set as favourite people that way too, your quick people links are re populated after a hard reset too)

Add Facebook contact photos to outlook contact photos

I am currently trying to add the contact photos from my facebook friends as offline outlook contact photos.
I a friend would cancel his account his photo would be gone and I wouldn't have any contact photo stored for his contact.
Is there a possibility to make the facebook photo the real offline contact photo? I knew it was possible with the Touch Pro 2 and I hope it is possible with the HD2 too.
Anyone would be so kind to point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
sky

So I assume no one has a solution to this...

Use Fonebook.
facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2442338999

SPB mobile Shell has a function for this (although not automated, you'll have to do it for each person seperately)
booksync can do it automatically

Thank you both
Fonebook doesn't seem to be the right program for me, because I do not sync with Outlook but with Microsoft My Phone and Booksync doesn't start and gives me an error.
I will try again with another ROM soon, perhaps something is missing in the one I am using.

AFAIK it is NOT possible by default in any HD2 rom, even manually. It is only possible through desktop sync apps, so I've seen anyways. Sorry I can't name any since the last time I did it was a yr+ ago!

Pretty sure Fonebook can do this! (I wrote it so I should know )
If I understand your problem correctly you want to set an outlook contacts profile photo to their facebook profile. You can achieve that this way:
If you start it, then click "Exclude All", then find your friend and untick "Don't Synchronise Friend". Now go into Settings and untick everything but contact picture. Click save then hit "Sync Contacts" it should work!
However - if you are just doing this for one contact then it would be far less work to simply save the photo out from facebook, then add the contact photo in Outlook?!

The thing is: I do not have Outlook.
I just have all my contacts on the phone and on Microsoft "My Phone".
Now I have around 50 facebook-friends whose contact pictures I don't wanna lose even if they decide to leave facebook.
When I edit a contact in the phone I can chose between "Outlook photo" or "Facebook photo". But there are contacts I do not have an Outlook photo for, only a Facebook photo. So it would be fine to save the temporary Facebook photo as a permanent Outlook photo.
I will try Fonebook if you say it can do this but I just realised that the latest is a Trial version.
Doesn't matter, I will try and report back

My bad, Outlook is a requirement for Fonebook.
P.S. the trial is fully featured so it would have worked, but as I said Outlook is a requirement!
Thanks

Wha?? I've never had any facebook contact close his account/leave facebook since I use it...
I'd just don't care, if one day one actually did close his account, which isn't very likely, I'd certainly find another photo...
