I'm just wondering if Facebook online album for each contacts in People is working for you guys?
I can't seem to load any of the photos for every contact. I can see the list of albums, but not the photos in it.
Any idea why?
*edit*
Solution is here
This has been discused before, it's to do with your contacts privacy settings not the HTC app
Seems to work fine for me. Some things don't show but as mentioned before that is probably to do with privacy settings.
Facebook app could do with improving in my opinion doesn't seem overly capable. Viewing comments seems to be a lot of effort.
Do you know which part of privacy settings of Facebook account which hinder us from seeing the contact's photo albums? My own Facebook account privacy settings are always set to the lowest, i.e can be seen by everyone. But still, I can't view my own photos via HTC Album ---> FB album.
Hmmmmm should be able to see your own stuff surely as you are logged in as you. I can see mine and various friends fine. Perhaps your problems are unrelated to privacy settings. Maybe something to do with your data connection?
I've noticed that the Facebook online albums for friends have also stopped working for me on my HD2. They did work fine on the original O2 1.43 ROM but don't seem to be working on the 1.48 ROM. Not sure if this is to do with the upgrade or something else. I'm trying to find the local cache on the phone for the albums, thinking I might be able to purge the cache which might get it working again.
Edited to add: By not working I mean I can see the online albums with the number of photos in each one but when I go to view the photos the thumbnails do not load and neither do the full size photos. The number of broken thumbnails seem to match the number of the files supposed to be in the album. This is why I was thinking it might be the temporary location where the photos are stored!?
Finally i found someone who is having the same problem as me. I'm trying to check my settings and applications to find out where might the root of the problem be.
Hope we can find out the cause of the problem.
I have the same problem!
What networks are you all on? This was an issue on the Hero, but only for certain networks. Modaco had a fix for it, but with stock roms it was an issue
I'm on O2 in the UK, tried it on Wi-Fi and 3G and neither works (it just takes longer to not work on 3G).
As I said before this feature worked perfectly before and definitely stored the images in a cache somewhere as items I had looked at before loaded very quickly.
I'm trying to reset various settings at the moment to see if I can kick it back into action.
I had this same problem untill someone (sorry, forgot the place where, but credit him/her) told me, to my surprise, that it has to do with messing around with the caches, either in Advanced Config, BsB or another tweaking app. Reset the caches to their defaults, soft reset and Facebook albums will work in HTC Album.

Thanks for the tip!
The problem is due to cache tweaking.
To solve it,
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 0
I supposed the default value is 0 ?
I did this and everything is working great now.

I've been messing about quite a bit with my HD2 since getting it with various registry tweaks, goldcarding the phone with the latested ROM etc. I've been using BsB tweaks since v1.1, on this ROM I think I installed v1.3.1 and recently upgraded to v1.4. I did enable all the performance tweaks in v1.3.1 and then upgraded to v1.4 which has "auto cache" disabled? The Glyph Cache and TCP/IP Cache remained on but the other option went. I wonder if the registry change didn't get removed / changed back after the upgrade?
Anyway, I've disabled both the "High Glyph Cache" setting and the "High TCP/IP Cache" performance options in BsB Tweaks 1.4 and soft reset. This didn't fix the Facebook album

I upgraded BSB tweak from 1.3 to 1.4 without disabling the cache tweak first (wasn't aware of the problem it causes). I think this causes the registry entry value to remain the same after upgrading to 1.4. The cache tweaking in BSB Tweak 1.4 changes different registry entries.
You have to change the registry manually and it will be solved.

I wonder what the default value is? Mine is set to 8192 which must have been a BsB tweak. The Leo Hints & Tips thread suggests setting it to 4096. Is 0 really the default?

Have a look at this.
I think that's the registry setting that he meant.
All working for me now I've set that registry setting back to 0
Thanks!
Slightly OT:
When I messed around with performance parameters using HD Tweak 0.5.4 (items 14.1-14.3 and 18.1-18.3), my unit became excruciatingly slow after soft resetting. The only option going forward was to hard reset.
So I reckon that HD2 performance settings are to be done differently from HD (my previous phone). ATM I have left these alone as I am satisfied with the performance, so there is really no need.
Back on topic: my default cache setting was 0 and my facebook syncs properly.
hey guys. my cachesize reg is 0 but cant see albums. but it s weird tht it works great with wifi connection. fi not, i still can update my status vie by "me" contact card an upload phots vie htc album. but cant link people to facebook account and cant see their albums in htc album if am not connected via wifi. an i cant see my albums too. it says this user has no albums to view.
wht can be wrong. it works fine via wifi but doesnt work via gprs/3g?
thx..
If you guys using a custom rom there is a 80% chance it will not work unless the chef fixes it.
For some reason my 'Camcorder' application resolution is nowstuck on "S (128x96)".
This is when I go into the settings->Advanced page.
It doesn't matter which codec I select, the resolution stays greyed out.
Any ideas? This is really annoying.

In the main video menu, you have the "mms video" option selected.
There is a camcorder icon in between the settings cog and the album icon, you can change it in there.
Camcorder Resolution Stuck on S (128x96) VIDEO AND NOT MMS VIDEO option
My 'Camcorder' application resolution is stuck on "S (128x96)" also.
This is when I go into the settings->Advanced page on 'Video' option - (MMS Video option is actually set to M (176x144), ie a Higher resolution than Video option).
Changing between MP4 and H.263/4 format doesn't help, the resolution is always greyed out.
I have a stock 1.43.206.4 WWE ROM and have only applied the official HTC Patches.
Does anyone know of a reg edit to fix this???, I've installed dotfred Task Manager with RegEdit built-in.
Hope someone can help, please.
Thanks.
You had me excited there, thought it was going to be that simple, but alas, that's not it.
With 'MMS Video' selected - the envelope with a camcorder at top right - the resolution is fixed at "M (176x144)".
The proble is when I have 'Video' selected - a camcorder on its own - At this point going into the settings cog and then advanced, the resolution is fixed at 128x96. Its greyed out so cannot be changed - just the same as with MMS Video selected bu an even lower resolution!
Very odd.
Any other augestions?

Do you guys have any tweaking apps installed?
The reason I ask is I have MPEG4 as a format option, which I think is only accessible with a tweak app, like BsBTweak (or reg file of course), I notice Firestorm33 does.
The only things greyed out on mine are metering mode and prefix, both of which I can guess the function and doubt they are related to this.
What options do you have selected in the Advanced options for video?
I have:
Resolution: VGA (obviously this is the one in question)
Review Duration: 10 seconds (I have tried all options in here and cannot reproduce your issue)
Capture Format: MPEG4 (which I think is only accessible with a tweak app, like BsBTweak (or reg file of course)
Recording Limit: No Limit
Keep Backlight: On
Record with Audio: On
Shutter Sound: Off (have toggled this, no difference)
Under Image Properties: +3 for all
Effect: None
Metering Mode: Spot (greyed out)
Prefix: Default (greyed out)
Counter: 52 (unlikely to cause issue though!)
Flicker Adjustment: Auto
Help/About are unnecessary.
Do these match yours? (bar the MPEG4 option)
Camcorder stuck resolution - S (128x96)
I don't have a lot of time right now, I'll get back to you rp-x1 on settings and apps later.
Initially I was just re-iterating that I have the same problem as FM, but to explain my problem in more detail, the first day I owned my HD2 I recorded a video (at a higher resolution, ie an acceptable quality for everyday use, will try and get the actual res later) than I can now, so something I've installed since then, whether it be the the official HTC Patches or some other app must've locked down the resolution to the S 128x96 setting. I've not installed a whole lot of 3rd party apps yet, will post more details tonight.
I have thought about doing a Hard Reset to take the phone back to factory settings, but hoping I don't have to.
I do have BSB Tweaks installed, yes.
And to be honest I couldn't say either way whether this problem started around that time.
I'll post a mesage in the BSB Tweaks forum as well to see if anyone there has seen anything similar (there's no mention as I did a search there before posting here just in case).

Hi guys,
I've exactly got the same problem, have you found a issue yet ?
Haven't been able to find what caused this, so yesterday I took the plunge and hard reset.
Camcorder, of course, came back all good and I've since installed all my apps again (I think they're all on now) and the problem hasn't come back.
One thing I did notice, though, is that 'mobiletag' no longer seems to work. This possibly stopped working around the same time that the Camcorder issue started - though I'm not sure about that.
Even after the hard reset and re-install 'mobiletag' throws an error that it's 'unable to load camera library'. The error details aren't particularly helpful either as the charcter set appears to be odd. The errors are:
Code:
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.SpecificInit()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
at #.#.#()
where each of the # characters above is actually a square character like you get when a character is missing from a articular font.
May be related, may be not.
Would be interesting to know if anyone else who has had this problem also has 'mobiletag' installed - it uses the camera so there's some logic to that being to blame.

[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
DISCLAIMER: This works for me 100%. I have noticed 200% - 300% longer lasting battery life, AND at least 3 - 4 times more responsiveness throughout the whole phone, you can even benchmark the difference between stock X2 and an X2 run with my solution. I will not be held responsible for any damage to your phone!
I've read a lot, and done a lot on my X2 recently. From what I tested, black screen of death (when in standby mode) = DONT USE AUTO BACKLIGHT! Try this & see what happens.
Now, my X2 barely freezes or gets any lag at all, in fact, it is SMOOTH. Yes, you heard it, SMOOTH (even when scrolling through start menu).
Using the X2 as of now is a nightmare, but I've come up with a solution until MR2 comes out. And, lets hope MR2 really is for the best.
This solution is based on the standard WM today home screen. I haven't come across ANY problems at all.
One day, I came up with an idea. If I dont use tilewave, why do I have to keep it? Considering growing panel, pixel city panels caused lag to the phone, I decided to delete tilewave altogether and now my phone is significantly faster!
Standard WM today screen I think, is in fact I think its the best:
Less battery drainage, simple, fast, efficient, no black screen of deaths.
This solution works BEST if you follow ALL STEPS BELOW:
1) Uninstall Growing Panel, Pixel City (Day & Night) | (Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs)
2) Uninstall all SPB shell and software. (Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs)
3) Start -> Settings -> Today -> Tick Date & Messaging (Or any other plug-in of your choice, less the better)
4) Delete tilewave panel in (File Explorer -> Program Files -> Panels)
5) Delete the other panels of your choice, I deleted everything except google panel (In case today panel for some reason crashes, I still got google panel to work with) | (File Explorer -> Program Files -> Panels)
6) SKtools (Search SKtools on XDA forums search function) -> Tweak -> Optimise -> Tick Font cache size and TCP window size -> Action -> Performance -> Optimise -> Soft reset
7) Advanced configuration tool (Search in XDA forums for the program / google it) -> Performances ->
ENABLED
File system cache: 8MB
File system cache size: 16384 sectors
Glyph cache: 32kb
8) SKtools -> Category -> Clean up -> Go to EACH and EVERY option to delete bad registries, temp cache folders, bad uninstall info, etc. MAKE SURE clean up EACH option in clean-up. INCLUDING registry optimiser, do it!
9) To resolve the messaging lag: Search "SMS lag fix" in XDA forums to get rid of lag.
10) Disable Slideview: Delete the string "launch199" from HKLM\init (Use TotalCommander program, credits to bazsikar & jerpelea for this one!)
11) Disable Panel Manager (OPTIONAL): Delete ALL panels except MS_Today panel in programfiles\panels to disable panelmanager.exe
12) Disable XKeyhandler: SKtools-> Services-> Delete xkeyhandler. Step 2: Totalcommander-> HKLM -> init -> Delete Launch65
13) DONE! Soft-reset one last time, and FEEL the difference =)
This solution covers, as far as I know, the general basic operations and responsiveness of the entire windows mobile system for the X2 and/or other WM devices. I don't suffer any MR1 upgrade issues with this solution other than the "Storage card disappearing" issue, which everyone is having a problem with as well.
Disabling slideview is good option for those who think its totally useless (like me) and just causes the system to crash, and hogs A LOT of CPU resources and thus, lags the phone and also plays a role in causing the black screens. You will notice a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE in battery life and less bugs and crashes with this one!
Credits go to XDA-developers and their respective authors for the posts, you know who you are. All I've done is complile the information and made a solution for the X2 users out there.
UPDATE: To disable slideview, read step 10, credits to bazsikar & jerpelea =)
UPDATE 2: To disable panel manager and panels, read step 11 & 12 =)
ALL THE STEPS COMBINED ABOVE WILL GIVE YOU A FAST, SMOOTH X2 WITH NO BLACK SCREEN OR CRASHES + 400% IMPROVED BATTERY LIFE (1 MONTH SO FAR, I HAVENT HAD A SINGLE CRASH OR BUG)
Feedback welcome, and please report if this works for you, because it worked for me 100% =)
Thanks for the update , I will give the SK tools thing a crack later.
Thanks for tip!
I got stability on a real good level
by just not using TileWave.
SlideView has sometimes problem with
video playing in Landscape mode...
Seems to be a bit quicker, we will see how stable it is.
thx royalbloodvi but nothing new in the solutions
Just finished with the tunning, it seems faster, lets give it a try
for now i leave my benchmark results
Integer 316.5749
Floating Point 7.565
RAM Acccess 594
Draw Bitmaps 699
MainStor Write 2011.79
MainStor Read 5667.90
Storage Card W 962.86
Storage Card R 1189.31
File List 1443
File List S Card 1034
Mine its a little slower on the internal and external memory.. idk why..
Too bad Tilewave/Slideview is one of the things the X2 had over the X1

Hi all
Im having a strange and annoying issue..., i dont know if it was after or before the procedure depicted here by royalbloodvi but maybe you can know what is going on..
If i install software on the storage card, i can see the folder created under "Program Files" and i can execute the software with no problems.
Then when i close the app, somehow, automagically the entire folder structure under "Storage Card\Program Files" gets erased, doesnt matter if i have one or twenty apps there, always happens the same thing ....
I dont know if i explain myself clearly, in fact english is not my mother language as you can see haha, but i dont know whats going on, even in this case i dont know which keywords i have to use to google it...
Please if you can give me some advice or trick would be very appreciated, even the "right" english keywords to search for it.
Thanks in advance dudes...

This is a KNOWN issue for all X2 users, using my solution or not.. only way it can be fixed is up to SE itself since they screwed the X2 over.

And also thanks for your sharing, I'm just removing everything you suggested and let's see. Although I'm a bit sad because I like SlideView and TileWave, especially visualy but I need some functions working properly instead, so I give it a try.
As I extensively use X2, using most of it's features (besides GPS)
I must say that the main thing FOR ME was to not use extensively TileWave.
After beeing really frustrated and unhappy, I was still tracing the places where the device crash.
And found it was using some functions on TileWave, I can say it
after repeating the patterns about 50 times, I was like a real beta tester....
So avoiding it, the device works almost seamless....
The bugs I see:
As I mentioned, the main SlideView bug is playing and exiting video playback
in landscape... This always crash sooner or later.
Besides that, the device gets stuck in Sound&Notification settings once you go there sometimes
and WM Homescreen sometimes doesn't see the pictures from memory card.
Besides that, it works and if they'll ever make it reliable,
it's my best choice.
volks,
i have been using x1 for over an year and been in XDA for yearssss,
that thing that i notice in openGL (msn 7200 platform)freeze the phone and crash the system.
if you wanna crash your sytem use slideview panelmanger ,play xtrakt then run a video and your xperia will crash.
opengl on the msm 7200 platfom is very unstable(maybe its the lack of good drivers or window mobile integration).
avoid opengl stuff and you will be good.
UPDATE: To disable panelmanager.exe, simply delete all panels in programfiles\panels EXCEPT MS_Today panel, and panelmanager will no longer run.
Result: Extend battery life EVEN further! Works best for those who dont use panels like me (I find it pointless)

Yes, I deleted it aswell from HKLM\init together with xkeyhandler.exe
Good battery life and stable system, no freezing at all, no missed sms or calls.
Although camera still doesn't start sometimes even if saving location is set to phone memory.

Camera sometimes doesn't start with certain apps in the background
that's my finding.
I've had it with stopwatch running.
Once I turned this off, camera went fine.
As for me - I use panels and SlideView, but just don't use certain
things from these, also no freezes at all.
The main concern is memory card problems now!
(please excuse my english)
thanks for this solution, X2 is better whitout slideview.
but i have always probleme this memory card (like everybody)
and some crash in standy by mode -> black screen and soft reset :'(
other problème : illluminations don't work normaly (maybe because i have use a cab find in xda ...)
and picture in mms are very very very small ...
anybody was an idea ?
thanks
Hi,
I played around with the Audio Cal Tool (in hidden menu = 3845#*540#). Now I have ringtones and speaker with higher volume which is really nice, but I also touched the mic settings and now the (audio and video) recording volume go to low. My question is: is there a way to reset these audio calibration settings or can someone provide me the right values for the micAmp settings?
thanks in advance...
p.s. I know that calibration data can be reflashed/reset with professional tools like vygis and z3x box, but I don't own these boxes for now.

I don't think the data is on a seprate partiton nor coded into the bootloader, try a factory reset. Just remember to backup your contacts/apps/settings etc with an app such as Titanium Backup.
thanks for the suggestion,
I already did a reset, went back from 2.3.4 to 2.1, changed from v20a to v20b and v20e. But the problem still exists.
As we know, for all Cyanogenmod Users was the Camera app a little bit flawed, it did not let you record in 4K. I found an easy workaround
for that, which should work with any ROM, not only CM.
Just go to the Google Play Store and Download Open Camera, with the link here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...encamera&hl=en .
The open it and click the Settings Icon, go to Video Settings and set the Resolution to Highest; 4K Ultra HD. And that is basically it!
The app overall is a great replacement, it has way more controls over Focus etc. There is a bug though, when switching to video mode, the brightness will go on the lowest level. Clicking the settings and going back will fix that. I hope I could help you, Feedback is welcome!
