Facebook update causes TouchFlo Restarts

Every time I update Facebook in Updates and Events it restarts TouchFlo. I've run into this problem before... After a hardware restart it fixed it but i'm sure there has to be a way to fix this. I have tried undoing anything I've done before this problem occured... But I've changed nor done anything... It just happen, any help will appreciated.

WE could really use some more info. Rom, OS version, Things of this type will most likely get you some answers

ROM version: 1.19.661.3 "Stock ROM"
Windows Mobile 6.1
Carrier: Telus "CDMA"

It seems i've fixed the problem, well more like it fixed it self, I took one of my contacts off the facebook link and it seems the crashing has stoped. It just seems weird to me that it would do that, would like to know the real reason behind this. Maybe there's a limit of contacts you can have linked to Facebook

Now that we're speaking of facebook on the TP2, does anyone know how to chat on facebook similar to the iphone app?

Ok, my reply is two fold....
@TeamSir
I ran into the same problem. I took a bit of a different route, though... It only seemed to crash on me when I updated from within the address book editing screen (not always, but often). On the Status Tab (Third or forth tab when in Address book, or viewing a contact), when I've updated from there, I haven't had any problems. Weird, but who knows.... Also noticed that if they Contact in the address book is exactly like it is on facebook, it automatically (after confirmation) sets everything up for you.
@Cacaman123 There isn't a way to "chat" through this integrated facebook feature. There are, however two options for you to look into.
Option #1
There is a Facebook App on the Microsoft website. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile. If you haven't already, sign up for an account (it's worth it, trust me... free apps and games, some of them pretty good too, some are demos, too). Once in there, arrow over "Free Extras" then click on "Games, Software, and More." From there, under the "Software and Services" side of the list, click "See all >" and on the next page there should be a facebook app. This app allows you to check friends status', update your own, check your messages, reply, and, as an added bonus, if any of your friends have their Phone number on FB, you can access it through the tab and call them directly from the app, through your phone.
Downfall: No Chat app. You are not allowed to do direct Facebook Chatting, you can send and receive messages, but no chatting.
Option #2
Palringo - Here is an app that I've been using for a long time. Bottom line, it's a multi service chatting program. You do have to sign up for an account (completely free), but after that, you can access any account of yours on the following networks:
* Windows Live Messenger ® (MSN)
* AOL ® Instant Messenger (AIM)
* Yahoo! ® Messenger
* Google Talk ™
* ICQ ®
* Jabber ®
* iChat® / MobileMe ®
* Gadu-Gadu ®
* Facebook Chat (Alpha)
With this program, you can chat directly with your friends on facebook.
Downfall: Chatting is the only thing you can do with facebook and this app.
I do hope this helps...

My problem was the same, I was using the intergraded Facebook, crashed everytime I update in the address book editing screen. As soon as I took one of my contacts off of the link with facebook it started to work... But then everytime I open up File Explorer it would hang on loading "The last folder I tried to view was My Device\Windows". Couldn't even change which folder I was viewing, so with much frustration I turned to Hardware reset.

I deleted the "FacebookInfo" file in My Device folder, and it started working again.

HTC Sense Facebook/Youtube integration

Hi all,
I cannot activate Facebook or Youtube integration with HTC Sense (I'm not using Twitter so i don't know about this one).
I always receive the error: an error occured while attempting to login.
I have to mentioned that I can actually use the Facebook app and the Youtube app. But when I try to use the same users/passwords for Data Services (Facebook account linking, etc.) , it fails
What's wrong? I'm trying with wifi connection (no data subscription at the moment). Is the HTC Sense integration with Facebook/Twitter/Youtube works only with a data connection?
Someone has tried with a data connection?
Thx in advance

Have you tried with wireless? Obviously it required connection with server.
But - there is one problem, WM Facebook client just SUCKS!!!!
I prefer to use Opera and normal web page - on this screen it's a pleasure.

I have no problems via wifi, 3G..

Tried this but still doesn't work.
Are you sure that it could works on wifi connection? if you turn off your data connection and enable wifi it works?

tried a soft reset before connection/login?

Yes, and checked registry key after soft reset to be sure.

Of course, works... Im using 3G outside my home, mail push and sync with my Exchange 2007, Twitter etc, on home im using this via WIFI. I disconnect data connection, mail push disables too, enable WIFI and mail push... All works good, youtube, twitter and facebook too... Maybe is something wrong on your wifi access point? Some firewall settings?

I don't think it's firewall because I have the same behavior on a wifi at work and wifi at home:
- sense integration doesn t work
- MS Facebook app works

bump
Anyone experiencing the same issues? Some ideas of what it could be?
I've cheched in the registry keys mentioned earlier in the post and I had a value "new-inet:1159" for the Proxy value. I've removed it, soft reset, still does'nt work.

My facebook integration only works 50% or so.
Half of the contacts I have associated with my facebook friends dosnt show the pic, but they are associated. There should be a force download of facebook pictures to contacts button =)

You can force the picture by:-
1) Select the contact
2) Go into Edit contact details
3) Clcik on the thumbnail picture
4) Select facebook picture

At least you can connect....

Is your password composed only by letters and numbers or also by symbols? I can't connect using HTC Sense, too, and I suspect that the problem can be similar to the one reported on the FIM thread, where the client can't successfully connect with Facebook if the password has some symbols or special characthers in it...

Yes I have one special char in the password.
So if I understand correctly, it could be a bad implementation in HTC sense that is not handling correctly special chars when sending them?
It could explain why it's also not working for me with YouTube sense integration, because it's the same password.
I'll try to change my password and see if it do the trick

Yeah man you are the king! I've removed the special char in my password and it works!.
By the way it was a '&' char so it could be misunderstood by the facebook site if not correctly UrlEncoded by HTC before sending.
Thanks mate!

My fb contacts sync fine but my events don't. I used to get all events of my friends synced but now i only have literally 2 events showing and they are birthdays.
Anyonw else?

Anytime, I'm glad to help
Yes, it's a bug in HTC Sense login implementation; I had this suspect because my youtube account was working fine and it had a different password without any special char

the hd2 user manual (ch: 4 pg: 107) states:
"Your phone will use the contact's Facebook photo when you have linked to the contact's Facebook profile. If there is a contact photo already stored on your phone, the Facebook photo will *not* show in your contact even if you have linked to the contact's Facebook profile."
This -might- be the reason...
On the other hand, even that statement does not appear to be entirely true: Some of my contacts who had photos before "linking", had theirs changed to their facebook photos when linked. (When I removed the links, the "previous" photos came back.)
Might there be a pattern or something else we're missing?
/* edit: just found out: it is possible to specify which photo to use (outlook/facebook) by editing the contact and clicking the photo. */

Facebook thumbnails do not load

Has anyone else experienced problems with the integration of facebook app with the contacts, specifally when it comes to showing the friends profile photo? Just did a hard reset yesterday, and before that I was able to see my friends profiles pictures when i linked them in the contacts, next to their name and when they called me. Now all I see is th default gray siloutte. Even if i open up the facebook app, and goto the friends tab, all i see is the default silouette icon...
Help please, this was one of my favorite features, now my people tab is full of the same icons

This may be obvious, but since you have reset your HD2, have you remember to "link" contacts via the contacts menu?

yeah, the little "F" is there on the bottom left...
dont know if it matter or not, am in the UAE, website bans galore, facebook has been reallu s... l o w here lately, starting to think it has something to do with that, anyone in the UAE can confirm?

If you can still access FB then it should work. If you can't then it could be a reason.

I hate to do this, but I might just perform another hard reset, will install nothing this time until i get the facebook pics to work, i disabled HTC messaging via some thread i found here, dont know if that has something to do with it or now

alas , no results, it was already set to zero (as per the link), guess i have no choice but to hard reset to see if this changes...
should i take this opportunity to upgrade to 1.48?

Hard Reset completed, still no luck! have not installed ANY applications, went through the start up wizard, when prompted for wifi, i skipped, then went to social section, and attempted to enter facebook email and pass, log in error, went back, enabled wifi, connected to wifi, then used the exact same user/pass and was successful.

Maybe it's due to Facebook privacy settings? Try checking your facebook settings.
Btw, you need to log in to facebook located at Settings >Data Services> Facebook.
And.. you might want to consider to upgrade to at least Rom 1.48 ( though v1.61 is much better ) since 1.48 has been officially released by HTC.

Mine does not update either, I have to do it manually as autoupdate does nothing!

Ok guys >>>> at last i found the solution
all you have to do is opining you FB from laptop and change the way you login to "unsecure" (http not https) >>>> And its done
now reupdate ur contacts and FB thumbnails appear beside each name
PS: if u want to change it again to the secure mode plz turn off ur Auto FB contacts update
thanks

HD2 problem when syncing contacts with Facebook profiles

Hi guys, first post here but been around a bit on the forum
Basically whenever i connect my contacts to their facebook profile everything syncs up fine EXCEPT their profile pictures, i'm not sure what caused it but if the contact was added recently on facebook it just cant seem to load the picture for it .
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on my problem or had suffered something similar.
Thanks in advance!

Make sure you are on a wi-fi network and allow time for the picture to be downloaded..If it doesn't appear, edit the contact and select the facebook picture..

Nevermind i solved the problem now it was to do with how i was connecting, i had to connect via 3G to access facebook and wifi to access twitter.

Hey but it works pretty well for me with Wi-Fi too....jus needs time to download the picture.....all you have to do as the prev post said.....iv personally tried and tested it

does not work for me...
Hello,
this has always worked for me but now all of a sudden the pictures are not loading. When I synch with facebook I see the pictures on everybody when I can select what contacts to synch. (I have all boxes checked) but after accepting no pictures are synched. Everything else is synched...

Hi guys, sorry to bring up an old post but I think it's the same issue I'm now having.
I was able to view all the FB profile pictures until recently. They're all set to FB profile picture but I get the person outline instead of their picture.
Even my own "Me" contact card won't show my profile picture, it's annoying that it did work but now it doesn't!
Any ideas? Status' are updating. I signed out then back into FB. I didn't have to connect via wifi before when it worked. When I go to Settings>Data services>Facebook, I'm logged in but the icon is grey, maybe it always but <i>thought</i> it used to be blue.
Um, not sure what else to mention. Thanks in advance!

Totally was having the same issue up until about 5 minutes ago, found the way to fix it! It has to do with your actual Facebook account and not the phone. You have to change your Facebook account to DISABLE the secure browsing (https). once you do that, relog into Facebook on your HTC Sense and reload the profile pictures!!

You my friend are a hero, that fixed it for me too! So now I have a bright colourful address book again, yay!

Aw thanks! I'm super happy to have all my pictures back! It was driving me crazy!

After enabling secure browsing on FB, my phone didnt sync aswell. Took me ages to find out.

So, I'm still having the same problem. How exactly do I turn off the secure browsing on my browser?

I had the picture sync problem on ICS. I use HaxSync now. Works very well!

You do not need turn off the secure browsing on your browser, you need open your FB account with your browser ( IE, Chrome, Mozila), then select the arrow at the top right (next HOME button), and choose from there Account settings. In newly opened window of FB choose Security. Now you can see on the first row your
secure browsing - edit it!
Pay attention: You need DISABLE it (uncheck) !!!!!!!!!!....if you want syncing FB contacts with HTC contacts

[Q] facebook and twitter

hi i have already posted a similar thread to this one but didnt get any satisfactory answers or solutions, hopefully this time some one can HELP me
my Facebook (the HTC sense built in application facebook) does not download any pictures to my phone at all - no contact pictures or pictures from albums of my friends on facebook. even the FBcontact folder in windows is empty. my phone is sync with my facebook account, i dont have my contact sync with outlook so i dont see what is wrong with it. DOES ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
also, my Twitter - the Peep app will not allow me to log in. every time i try to log in a window pops up that says that i have entered a wrong username and password wich i didnt. if i try to install the peep hotfix a window pops up again the says that the hot fix is not for my phone.
i have installed the lates vodafone ROM 1.41.161.1 WWE
i made HARD RESET once but nothing had changed
anybody knows what can i do to make it work again? if any ideas please reply
thanks

prob facebook : close FB app. go to default web browser (Opera or IE )and choose option enable view photo.go to FB app
prob nr 2 twitteer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13493262&postcount=8

thanks for ur reply mate
at least i know about the twitter now
the facebook still not working, though

Have you tried with a standard Web browser? eg. opera login to Facebook and see if there showing pictures? because I think the problem is in the settings

i dont think it is the web browser. not sure now if u know for sure what i was talking about. it is the BUILT IN SENSE FACEBOOK APP mate. when i go to all PEOPLE and try to link a contact with a facebook contact the picture will not be downloaded. it will show a down arrow wich is suppose to mean that the pic is being downloaded but this down arrow is ment to be in a ring or something. mine isnt. its just a down arrow wich dissaper after a second or two. just seems like the pic get lost somewhere in a 2nd dimension lol
the contacts are linked (phone and facebook) but the pics to them are missing. the same when i try to open a facebook album from a linked contact, the pic wont be shown, downloaded.

maybe u can try downloading the latest FB app, V1.1.0.26, search for it in the marketplace..

Facebook : disable https on your facebook account
Twitter : i have the same problem, the hot fix doesnt install. I wrote to htc and they said "try to uninstall and install it again"
I hope they release a fix for twitter and for https on facebook soon...

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH belannaer!
got all the pics now

wow you helped me so much! thank you!
