Cheers people
im i the only one then ... that thinks this should a be a feature
I wasn't able to get the facebook app to search. It doesn't seem to accept the CR key from HD2 keyboard.
so theres no way of searching for contacts to add in the fb app
yea.. you are just going to have to load up your mobile internet browser.. and do it from there..
the windows mobile facebook app just suxx..
better go directly to the original page, even if its some secs slower, its better :/
Don't know what you guys are talking about; I can use search function (by using menu -> search). But I installed latest version of Facebook.
Facebook has many features that can help you in your search for groups, networks, as well as people. One feature you can use is the advanced search option. With this searching option, you can look for anybody, anywhere, and at any time by location, profession, and school among others. This is just one way for you to search for someone on Facebook.

I've been using blackberry for a while and the facebook application on it is perfect. Now after switching to Leo, I've noticed that the FB app on that one is weak.. I just would like to know if there is a better app out there. The most important function I'm after is the push notification; I would like to get a notification on my phone(either on Home or maybe a specific tab), each time I get a notification on FB. I came across Babbler for Android, I believe what I'm looking for is something like that...
Thanks in advance for the help

The site (especially http://touch.facebook.com ) is not bad but the option I'm missing from blackberry is the push notification. The only I managed to get notifications now is via email
you can get texts from facebook whenever you get messages or posts or whatever. unless your trying to not use texts of course it wont help

I'm familiar with this option; however, I'm looking for a more "integrated" application (with the OS I mean) such as the one for Blackberry.. I really hope people at Facebook or Microsoft will develop something similar..
That's the ONLY reason I'm hanging onto my blackberry. WinMo's FB app SUCKS. I was just trying this morning different apps which claim they can sync up. So far I haven't found anything that remotely compares to BB's interface. *sigh*
Try this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-fim-facebook-instant-messenger.html
It has a mode that integrates with the web, and seems to cache your credentials so that you don't have to manually log on. It does have some ads but it's free.
Oh, and of course it lets you do FB IM messages.

Facebook Apps!
If you do some forum thread searching you will find a couple of interesting items regarding this issue...
1) There is a thread from the writers of the Microsoft Facebook APP, who ARE aware of the limitations of the standard app, and are working on an improved version for WM!
2) There is also a team of equally pi$$ed off WM users who want a decent FB app, that have start writing their own! At present they are assembling a coding team, but SAMPLE images are available and they are making mighty efforts to accomplish what we all want!
I am trying to sync contacts but nothing shows up?? No friends or info I need help!!
Get out more and meet more people.
If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.
Posting this in multiple threads to see if you get an answer will just get you flamed. Just an FYI.
I am to, I emailed HTC and this was their response:
Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should. Right now there is an issue going on with facebook across all mobile devices, it is not specific to you or your device, we believe it is an issue with Facebook itself and hope that it is resolved as soon as possible. I hope that answered your questions, if you have any other issues or questions please feel free to contact us. HTC Technical Support.. [websites that I couldn't post]

FIXED!
facebook sync is working again as of 12:30 est
I am still getting the "service currently unavailable" message. maybe it is better to just sleep on it and try tomorrow.
It syncs my pic but no others doesn't even display any contacts to chose from...

Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?
I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.
It's not the Facebook app that isn't working. It's the Facebook for Sense that doesn't work. I've tried the suggestions above already.

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
sycmypix
for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.
IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!
Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.
... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.

That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.
First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect"
ok i thought it was just me but hopefully they get this fixed cause i like being able to link my contacts
I have some questions about HTC Sense UI:
First thing; My FB Contacts are linked to my WF Contacts. Their newest Status Updates are under their Names in the Contacts app (sry for bad english I hope youll all know what I mean. If not, ask ). But when I click on the "Updates" Tab in Contacts (dunno if its really called "Updates", the Tab with the 2 Arrows on it) there are "No Updates". Any Explanation why?
And; Are there any Ways to include the German Social Network "SchülerVZ" into HTC Sense (I know, the API is missing but isnt there a way to make a workaround? Use the API the XPeria X8 uses? Sth like that?
Thanks for any help
Robin
and again; Questions? ASK!
Try signing out and back in or opening the fiend stream app and selecting refresh.
And no there is no way of adding another network so sence but there may be a client on.the.market
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
theres a client on market but its crap ;P
No it doesnt work.
The Status Updates still only shown under the Name of a contact not under the corresponding Tab
And, I just have noticed, some of my contacts have never posted anything (according to WF), but thats definitly wrong.....
Any suggestions here?
Thanks
Robin
Try signing out and clearing cache and data(its in settings>applications>manage applications> friends stream>clear cache,clear data)
Coming from a blackberry, i have universal search that lets me type and find content on blackberry messenger, emails, facebook, contacts and even some third party apps.
While i know that android itself has some of these, there are third party apps that extend this feature. Do you use one of these apps? Which one?
I wish there was a way to use universal search (built into Android,) to search Google Maps, like I could on WebOS. I find that if I am hitting the search button, over half the time I am looking for a phone number from the yellowpages, (maps.)
I very much miss being able to start typing a contacts name at the home screen and having it pop up. Currently I have the far right launcher (ADW) set to Contact Search, but it's still to presses to get started. If anyone finds something that works more seamlessly, please let us know.
Well the built-in search feature of Android does search contacts... Depending on what ROM you're running, how your contacts are sync'd can effect if they appear in results. I can tell you that on CM7 nightly 21, with TouchDown and Facebook sync, that my contacts all appear when I just hit the search key and start typing. I just wish that one of the options was to start a search in maps.
Hit the search capacitive button at the bottom and start typing. If they don't show up, go into settings and make sure iit searches for contacts too.

Hello!
I just got myself HTC HD2 and upgraded to WWE 3.14.405.2 official ROM.
I also upgraded FaceBook app to 1.1.0.26 from Marketplace.
But I don´t have all my friends listed in facebook app. I have over 500 friends, but I can`t see all of them. I go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search and there is no results come out. In the web I have this person in my friends list!
That`s also why I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the list in conctacts !
Please help me! What I have to do?
Thanks!

Anybody having same problem?
Help needed!
Don't bother with the facebook app. It's so buggy its untrue.
The facebook mobile site works much better. Open opera and surf along to :
http://m.facebook.com
Cheers

Thanks. I have done this since now.
But I like, when my contacts have pictures and birthdays from facebook.
Thats why I would like to see it working.
But as I can see, then only thing what can help is new version of facebook app.
I have read that you never know is it coming or not at all

Ok I did some looking for you, but next time please use search. Go to this thread and this thread and check this thread out. One of the Face book apps has got to suit you. Then default app sucks, but then again what do I know I don't use facebook at all.
Thank you for reply. I have searched for a weeks already for the solutions and have seen these programs too.
But the thing is, that my HD2 syncs contacts with the original Facebook app. Right now I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the friends list in my HD2 facebook app! To have their pictures and birthdays in my HD2 is why I need a working ORIGINAL app of Facebook

Sorry about that then, I meant no harm just see people complaining about the stupid default facebook app all the time, but usually non of them have even tried to find a better app.
This may be a really dumb question but have you tried logging out of your face book account in the app then logging back in? I have heard that has helped some people on these and other forums.
Yes I have tried that, no help
Also I have tried to reinstall that Facebook app again, no help
I don´t like this original Facebook app mutch, but since it is integrated to my HD2 and it has possibilities I like, then I would like it to work as it has to be !!!
Today I reinstalled 3.14 ROM to HD2, hoping it will change something, but nothing new. Nothing changed in Facebook.
Is there any fixed ROMs, that are similar to original, but working better then original?
If all you really want is pictures and birthdays in contacts, HTC Sense has built-in Facebook integration for that. Have you tried going to settings (in Sense not the start menu)-data services-click on Facebook under social networks and set that up? That's how I sync my contacts with my Facebook. Btw, for general Facebook browsing I highly recommend either the FIM app, the XDAFacebook app, or the m.facebook.com site as mentioned before.
Thanks for reply!
Yes, I have done this. From there I have from half on my friends pictures and birthdays already in my HD2 contacts. But in this list, what will open when I want to link someone with Facebook, there isnt half of my friends listed! Thats the problem! They arent listed in Facebook app too. Also I think, that the Facebook app and HD2 Social Network systems are connected to eachother. When one is not working then the other is also crap
Still no solution for my problem!!! Anyone?

i think it has something to do with your friends' privacy settings. if they have platform applications disabled, you will not see their name, photo, id, anything. i have some contacts that are not showing up either, though.
quick question: when you go to htc album, select any friend's facebook album, and browse images, do they download for you guys? i have troubles for 2 days with those now. i only have a cross.
