Hi everybody!
I don't know why but when I try to open or to edit "My contact card" in People, nothing happens! I mean: I open the card but I can't change or do anything...
All that my card says is "loading"!
Any idea on why? How can I do?
Thank you very much!
Did you sync your phone with Facebook for HTC?

Yes I do... is it a good or bad thing?
Everything worked since I re-syncronized my contacts with FB..
Now only "my contact card" has problems!
Possibly the problem lies in the syncing due to the lack of data connectivity? I'm not sure though but my contact card only shows my birthday.

Do you mean the contact card you have in "people" or anything else?
Maybe I could resync my contacts with friend stream but I think I already tried..
But it's really strange! All my contacts have photos and details, my contact don't (I can't add anything!)
Thank you for your help ^__^
Yes I meant the contact card in people. Basically it just shows my birthday and my fb display picture. Why don't you try unsync and sync again?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I'll do as soon as possible! Hope that could fixed the problem!
And I'll give you a feedback
Tnx!
I did it! I unsync and resync friend stream.. but nothing happened!
my contact card is still "waiting" for I don't know what
I know it's not a big deal, but it's strange! one day it was ok , suddenly it started in this way.
Any ideas?
Tnx a lot!

ciao!
I have just bought my htc legend here in italy.
I have tried to connect one of my contacts with its page in facebook, but facebook shows no friend.
I have 4000 friends in my account, when I start the application and I hit the friends tab, after trying to connect, I get the message: error500/server internal error and no friend shown.
any suggestion?
thank you!

ciao!

Nothing happens anyway! No contact sync!

quite weird, it should be one of the most important features of the sense UI, you should be able to exploit the social networks interface and it doesn't work!!!
very annoying!!!
it works. here's what i suggest: remove account -> add account again -> sync feeds and contacts -> wait coz it takes too effin long. i only have 1800 friends and it took me all night for it to finish sync-ing.
some of the contacts will be linked to your facebook contact automatically but not all. some are not obvious and needs to be linked manually.
example: John Smith with John Smith is automatically linked but John Wayne Willis Smith will not be automatically linked with John Smith.
hope it helped.
oh yeah, after you sync, try checking people -> menu button -> view. and you will see your facebook contacts increasing (hopefully)
sounds like 4000 are too many for htc!
it doesn't work even after resetting everything!
what an annoying thing!!!
thank you for suggestions, though!
I have about 470 contacts and it wont update my fb friendlist..
when i try to sync i get returned after a while to the "online directories" screen and get the message "connection error", and it doesn't matter if i do this with wífi on or off.
Have tried to remove account, add it again and then sync with no luck

same **** here! cant get fb contacts!
Does anyone else have this problem (or a solution) but when I link my core contacts (from my Google account who all have their own headshot that I chose ages ago) and link it with Twitter (which seems to be fine) and/or link it with Facebook your Facebook Profile photo of said contact overpowers your default one? Even if I go into edit, and change the photo to tell it to use the "Google" one or even if I select an image from my phone's SD card it'll appear for a second but then Facebook's image over powers it... is this just me? Or if it's not, does anyone have a solution other than unlikning Facebook accounts to your existing contacts?
Thanks!
I think I have it now. I think it was the fault of the old Touch Pro2 I used to have as the <HTC DATA> stuff in the "Notes" of some contacts was lengthy...
thats good to know, just in case anyone else runs into this we have a solution
I have this same problem on a new desire z - not had android before. I pick a photo from the gallery but a few mins later the crappy res facebook one takes over.
Would love to know how to fix it.

Update... My idea worked, until Facebook did it's hourly sync from my phone! Back to square one!
Having done a bit of a google, im not sure theres a fix for this. Hopefully will come with 2.3.

I have a solution, I'll post it in a few hours when I'm back from university!
Create a "phone" contact with the same name (or similar), give that contact the nice sized picture from your phone, then link it with your Google/Facebook accounts, let your phone "sync" to these services once, then go in, edit contact and select the "Phone" picture from the menu and regardless of how many times you sync it won't overpower your default (large) phone contact picture...
Nice workaround - but hopefully 2.3 will fix it properly.

Yep I have the same issue. I cannot stand the way this phones handles contacts and syncing. I have yet to find a way to just add contacts the good old fashion way as static data on the memory card which is what I want.
Sadly I have removed everything facebook from the phone just to keep the contacts out despite un-ticking sync contacts
come on guys there must be someone with a way round this problem
....
Well, the only solution I found so far is to visit htcsense.com and edit all the contacs in there. So instead of having three contacts each with different information, I just have one contact with all the information.
But it took me about 6h to edit all the contacs
lol not really a 'solution' is it.....
i have done this now takes ages as it loads up all contacts every time. there must be another way to sort this out i love my DHD but this is rely doing my head in now. I get a bigger list when i go to tex and add a contact in there all my FB contacts come up not much fun when you have 300+ in there all with funny stuff instead of numbers come on guys you can cook up new Roms but no one knows this problem HELP plz
Use your Google contact list... It really can't possibly get any better than that.
I am, but that doesn't stop facebook populating everything. Why can't I have Facebook for HTC sense without it putting all the contacts in there...
Open the People app
Tap menu
Tap View
You can disable the other contact lists

Exactly!!!
OK I just disabled HTC facebook completely, and now just use the native Android app. It properly supports "existing contacts only"
It's not like HTC's app or widget are particularly good anyway

Hey guys
I am currently running stock froyo on my legend. for some reason, sync with gmail is acting weird. not all number from the same contacts are syncing. for example 1 contact has 3 numbers on my phone and only 2 show up on gmail.
I also have encountered lately another problem: my country code is +961, some of the contacts numbers that start with +961 currently show 1961 instead. i m not sure of the origin of this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated
Go on a computer, login to gmail, go in where all your contacts are and choose remove all duplicates and all should be fine ;-)
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
thats not it man. i have no duplicates. I use gmail at work so my contacts are nice and tidy. no duplicates
Aha I see. Hmmmm.
I had something like that a while ago. I had to fix that **** manually. :-/
After looking further into the problem, it turns out that those numbers with the wrong code are imported from facebook. Those numbers cannot be edited.
I turned off facebook sync yet the stupid numbers remain there.
Any ideas?

Today while I was on a foreign wifi access point, my contact photos all decided that they were too cool for me. Google contacts still shows all the contact photos, but the phone either has blank ones, or defaults to google+/skype profile photos. I can't sync contacts to make them reappear on the phone either. Anyone know what this might be?
Bump. Mine did this yesterday and I have no idea why. I'm running stock rooted 4.2.3 or whatever. I noticed that "People Details" is stuck trying to sync and hasn't sync'd since 6/25/2013.

Hey man. Just wipe you contacts and contacts storage data in settings -> apps. It worked for me.
EDIT:
For all future readers, you'd only need to delete the data for contacts storage.

No problem man, I'm glad I could help.
I found out something very curious. When I have skype installed on my phone, and it's set to sync contacts, it makes all the contact photos blank, and defaults to either google plus' photos, or skype's photos. Anyone else have this problem?
My contacts pictures disappeared the moment i updated to latest android.. But then i put then again.
