I used to use Vringo which would sync my facebook friend's photos to my phone as contact photos.
It really was a great app, but Vringo has changed direction as a company and is no longer offiering this.
Does anybody know of a similar app or service that will do this?
Thanks !!!

Well, saw this for a while ago, but kind of lost the use of it since the web-version of facebook does everything a user needs... So, why re-invent the wheel unless someone has a good idéa?
Something to sync the calendar on Facebook with the calendar on your WM phone? Or the contacts? Or upload all the images from your phone.
(Admittedly it would be fine just to sync them with outlook or an Exchange server, but not everyone uses those POS systems....).
Anyone got any other ideas?
im also loooking forward for a Windows app as i cant stay w/o fb for a long time

Hmm... might be a good idea - Anyone else who is interested in the topics mentioned above?
Don't have alot of time right now since the exam-periode is comming, but if I have time I might fix atleast the calendar and contact application But I'll post a reply in the thread if I'm up to it
Hey-
I was thinking of an idea but couldnt even begin to code it.
Something along the lines of full contact list integration. As in complete synching of contacts in phone with birthdays, addresses, etc. Complete integration with a contact manager so that you can view someones pics, write on their wall, etc without a browser, almost as if the data were stored in your phone. SMS like wall posts and messages and calendar synching. If anyone likes this idea and would like to work with me on it, I would be willing to make a photoshot mockup of what I am imagining to better get my point acreoo, but I think full and seamless browser-less integration would be amazing!
i use the Fonebook application to sync with outlook but I think a facebook program would be a great addition like adding events to my calendar, syncing photos with outlook, birthdays and whatever else. I think the mobile facebook experience would be improved with a program.

WOW...is no one making a facebook app? It would seriously be the icing on the cake for WM. Someone contact me, and we can work on it together!
there is one i found called snap2face which allows you to browse pictures and save them to your device. its pretty basic and definitely needs some tweaking to speed up load times but for a beta its not too bad.
Bump....
So im working on something but it would really be nice if someone wanted to work on it with me. I think there is a lot of potential here.
any progress on this?
hi anyone out there familiar with blackberrys knows that their facebook app is tightly integrated with the device itself and the windows mobile one is.... just a slower way to access the mobile version of the site now the mobile site works fine and if you have the htc album with social networking you pretty much get to upload photos and dont need the app at all but what i love about the facebook for BB app is how it will automatically assign contact pics for people on in your phone book who also have their numbers added to facebook is their anyone who can write an app that can do this?
The app that I use for this is call FoneBook. The only downside is that it has to run on your desktop Outlook and then when you sync your phone to it, it also syncs any contacts on your phone with those it finds matches for on FaceBook.
N.B. Your post is probably in the wrong section of the forum.
an app like that would be great if it could run on my phone it as i dont use outlook to sync my contacts =(
Yeah, I think the main emphasis on Windows Mobile applications is for productivity/utilities, whereas for the iPhone as an example, it's more 'fun' apps.
Probably easy to do for WinMo but I'm no programmer so will have to just wait and see!
SkyBook (formerly Snap2Face) had this ability... unfortunately, the program went out of development mysteriously, and last week, the program stopped working for me. Check it out, maybe you'll have better luck.

But yes, please, anyone with the skills would be greatly appreicated if they took this project on!
[double post]
You could try Book sync at http://www.booksync.co.uk/
It's not perfect, but I hope the developer would correct some bug in next versions.
The match between facebook and phone contacts is made manually, so that you could match contacts even if there is no phone number.
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.

ill give it a try, an ya im guessing its a facebook issue. lol im still prodding at it tho, ill letcha know if i find anything
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
ive had to flash my phone and it resync'd with outlook and all my contact pictures on htc hd2 (ALMOST 100 of them have pictures) are blurry..
is there a easy fix for this? or do i have to manually fix them all by searching my caller id pics on storage card?
Thanks for any help
Seconded. This is really annoying.
for high resolution pics of contacts, use iconsoft phone extension, and add the pics to the contacts from there...
Third for this! I just did it with the one at a time, took a while >_<

tnx mate, that was great info, but, the trial software will last few more days, and I need permanent solution.
It would be great if somebody cam make freeware simple app "add/edit picture contacts in high quality mode". app designed only for that one task.
Do u have a cub
