Hi all,
in the sense directory, we can link our contacts with there facebook account. This is great, so we can access to there album and all there information directely. Unfortunately, I have found the same think for our personnal facebook account, our personnal card is linked with the facebook account, so we can post on the wall, bet no access to our album and facebook information!
Is that right? Did I missed something?
No if you go to contacts then all people you will see a contact called Me scroll to the bottom and then link to your facebook profile. You can then update your profile by hitting facebook tab at the bottom of Me contact page.
THank Buffystar,
That's right that there is a Facebook button, but the only thing I can do is to post on my wall. I do not have profile info, neither access to my own album....
have you tried updating the facebook app on the phone? if you go into the marketplace and download the facebook app from microsoft (its usually in featured apps) it will update the one on the phone and this might help
Is that a new version, or the same as what comes installed on the phone?
he means the intergrated one.. I can't see my own albums also.. quite anoiing.. all settings in facebook are open.. I can see only one album from one friend and it's just his uploaded profile picture.. never did anything to it.. it displays as two folders uploads and profile pictures.. so apparently it can work.. but why not for my own account? also never seen an event or update in the intergrated facebook.
Simples! Open HTC Album, Press "Albums" at the bottom left, move the slider over to Facebook, then click on "My Photos" at the top
Spot on mate!

Now I know why I should have read the manual.
I can't believe I had missed this feature.
Top tip mate.

It's on the SD card, in the "Manual" folder. I'll be fair though, that's practically the first thing I deleted xD I never read manuals... I think it's a guy thing or something to not read em'
Oh! Would of been handy to know that was there, as the first thing I did before even starting the phone was install my new 16Gb card!! My 2Gb never even made it out the box! lol

So you guys can view your own albums with the method above?
If I do that, I get a "The user has no albums to display".
Help anyone?

Despite being surprised that I didnt know that this option existed...it doesnt work...actually...while I am typing this, maybe it is because I changed my Facebook password recently!....
EDIT: Yep, my password needed updating. No wonder the status never ever updated!
EDIT2: The photos within the Facebook albums wont even load up...may be I need to be on WIFI.
Thats what I want... thanks a lot.
But it is realy bad that from the address book, we can access all friend's album eccept mine.....
I too have only just discovered this, and I think it's great!
It works fine for me, so I can confirm that it does work. No special settings in facebook, and nothing special on the phone. Just the usual login info.

This has been annoying me! thought it was impossible
Nice find !! didnt know that
Now all we need is updates notifications and calender integration for events !!!
I still cannot get the photos within the albums to load up. Are you all using 3G or WIFI?

I can do it over any connection type.
I've searched this forum and could not find an answer. I am having issues with viewing albums using the Open Online Album on a contact but if I use the Facebook application, I can see the album just fine. It tries to load the picture but all i get is a prohibited sign. I cannot even view my own album this way. Anyone else having this same issue?

I saw that but I get a "This hot fix is not compatible with your device." Any other suggestions?
Hello All,
Am new to HTC Android Phone. I have setup my contacts photos to be picked up from the respective Facebook Profiles. Although this happened the first time, if a contact changes the photo on facebook it is not getting updated in the phone? Is there a way to manually force an update??
Facebook sync is enabled (i guess once every 12 hours) and it has been several days since the contact updated the profile pic on FB.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I have the same problem, my contacts aren't updated >.<
Pretty annoying, but I have not found a way yet to fix it. Looks like a problem with facebook for android.
If anyone has more information, please tell us
It seems that the facebook sync method doesn't check if the facebook profile pic is updated or not. Probably to save network bandwidth and sync time. But it is kind of annoying that it is not updated.
I have exactly the opposite problem. The pictures assigned to my contacts in google keep getting updated with those in facebook. While I don't mind that for contacts that do not have pictures in Google, it is quite annoying for such that do.
i pressed the sync all widget and all my face book images updated
my legend is rooted and running the modaco rom tho

Strange that it works for you. Can't see how a root or new rom would change anything. I have the same problem, using stock unrooted rom. Kinda hoped it would be fixed with new update, but no luck
Contact Photo Update

Where is this "sync all" button? I am not able to find it. Is it something specific to the rom?

Oh! Thanks!
But it does not seem to solve my problem... The old FB photos are still stuck to the profile...

I was also facing the problem of getting updated display pic from facebook and thought that there wasn't anyway to solve.. until after i ran into the FriendStream problem.
My FriendStream started acting strange and refuses to update friends' status today, it force closes when i try to launch the application proper. After reading up online, I did what others suggested, remove the facebook account and re-add it to FriendStream.. It got my FriendStream working again, plus a bonus - it "re-linked" with all my contacts in People and updated their profile pics! =D
Might take a while for it to fetch all the display pics again though, so I'd recommend doing it with a WiFi connection
My facebook profile pics update but there is a major delay between 12 and 24 hours) even though facebook and friend screen update every 10 minutes
I have this issue too, it seems to come from the last OTA ROM update
my FB pictures don't updates, and worse, new FB contacts don't appear in my phone book. when I manually sync my FB account, there is a process that returns an error
the solution I found to force an update was to run friend stream, friends, facebook, menu, update
it takes some time

i know this is an old thread so hoping there was a better fix for this issue? terribly annoying
Doing a refresh in the friendstream app updates the photo in the app but not the contact photo
I have found no way to update the photos till now... have even tried unlinking the Facebook profile from the contact and readding - no use...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
so there's no solution ..
I use SyncMyPix, it works well. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-nloko-android-syncmypix-qxEz.aspx
But I do hope that this gets fixed with a software update.
Cheers

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!
Renxx
dont know m8

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
Dave
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.
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!
