So I thought this was supposed to be part of the Barcode Scanner app, but going through my contacts I don't see the option of sending a contact via QR Code, only as a vCard via SMS, MMS, Bluetooth, or Mail.
I even tried going through the app itself to send contacts, but it detects no contacts. I've uninstalled / reinstalled and it was not fixed.
Help please!
I have the MT4G with the latest Ice Glacier ROM.
Same here on the stock rom. There's a short thread about this on the tmobile community forum, it sounds like the reinvent-the-wheel sense contacts is to blame.

Just did a factory wipe of my phone and now when trying to log in to Facebook for HTC Sense I am getting: The service is currently unavailable. Would you like to try again. Tried again with and without wireless to no avail.
Anyone else having this issue?
Restored back to a Nandroid backup that had been working fine, removed the Facebook for HTC Sense sync account and tried re-adding it, getting same issue. Sounds like a problem with Facebook.
Just flashed my Desire tonight and I can't sync Facebook.....it's getting me mad now.....grrrrrrr
It is ok, that is a very useless bloatware feature of Sense... Soo lucky!
I like the Facebook for HTC Sense app, it sync pictures for all of my contacts to their Facebook accounts so I don't have to. I loved that feature in MobileShell 3.5 for Windows mobile.

Heres HTC's response.....not tried it though as no doubt it won't work
In regards to Facebook I can help you with that. Please try the following steps if these do not help please contact the HTC helpline. Check People>Menu>View and confirm is the Facebook and/or the Facebook for HTC Sense is ticked. Log into there Facebook Account online and check if anything has changed. Does your password contain any unusual characters? (!ӣ$%^&*()_+) etc. Open People app>select the globe symbol>Facebook>Menu> Refresh. If you have checked all this and it fails try Home>Menu>Applications>Manage Applications >Facebook for HTC Sense>Clear Cache>Clear Data. Home>Menu>Settings >Accounts & Sync>Facebook for HTC Sense>Sync Now. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
kurtish your pessimism was spot on. HTC's instructions do not work.
I noticed this as well after using the OTA update leak
Just ran Across this on the XDA home page today
HTC Sense Not Playing Nice with Facebook
Followed the steps in the post and Facebook for HTC Sense now connects, but it still doesn't seem to be working properly. If I go to a contact and try to link it to a facebook contact it doesn't show any of my contacts. Definitel sounds like Facebook changed something that broke the way the HTC Facebook app interacted with it.
Functionality seems to be restored for some users now, I personally had to nandroid restore back to a few days ago pre-FB/HTC issue, but once I did that+some muddling/restarts, all contacts sync'd as they should. YMMV
I have had the same issue with sense not getting along with face book. In people, where you choose which contacts to show, I checked my contacts for face book but it showed 0 of them. After restoring any data I thought would help thru titanium, un-installing fb, re installing fb, and re booting did things seem to be back to normal.
Beamed into cyber space by my Droid Incredible
Apparently HTC have advised some customers that the issue will be fix within 48 hours.....so give it until Christmas and we'll be able to sync again
I have my contacts synced along with pictures for those contacts, main ones are on linked to google and other pics are linked from facebook. I can see all of the pics in contacts, but none in the messaging app. It was working fine until I installed shapewriter, but I have since uninstalled that app and none of the pics are showing. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
Mine does that until I go to the contacts app. It seems like my contacts have to refresh before pics show up in the messaging app.

Notxel posted a fix for that in the Iced Glacier thread that worked for me. If you go into application management, click all, find contacts and contact storage, clear data in both, then after your phone really syncs, it should be fixed. Hope this helps...

worked
worked for me too, except after i got my facebook account to finally link to my contact card, all the contacts in my messages decided to unlink themselves from their respective facebook accounts... Re-linked them and all is well... weird
I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3

Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.
So with the upcoming release of royal ginger 1.5 I wanted to save Just my contacts stored on my phone to the sim or make a file on the sd card.
Everytime I go to contacts-import/export it ends up saving 260contacts when I only have 160 actual phone numbers. The 260contacts includes gmail email addresses and a bunch of nonsense.
I turned off contact sync for my google account and all that still.
Is it possible to delete all contacts on sim and replace with an updated 160?
Help is appreciated.

I did it backwards I think. I saved all to gmail, then deleted them from SD, no Sim though (Imagine it's the same process).
I then cleaned up my gmail, and then re synced it via phone.
When updating to Royalginger 1.5 you wont lose contacts but you will lose SMS and mms

Just use My Backup Pro. Very Easy to use.
I use hotmail and with the Android 2.3 update whenever I delete emails through the Mail app they just keep coming back. If I delete a new message before opening it it comes back as a new message and give me the notification and everything. I have not had issues with hotmail and the mail app until 2.3. Will probably flash back to 2.2 if this is a known issue unless someone has any info. thanks.
I had this issue on 2.2 (htc hero) when I flashed between different roms. If you aren't currently using your Exchange (active sync) email account on your phone. I ended up setting my hotmail up with that and used some settings I found online. Once I did that I didn't have the 'new message' issue anymore.
I actually ended up finding the default android email app online and installed that and it now works properly. Unfortunately it doesn't show the nice little number on the envelope for how many emails I have but that is a minor issue. I deleted the HTC Mail app using titanium. Guess I keep it as is for now.
I was trying out mik shifted g, and yahoo would not work with the htc app at all. Even went back to cm to copy all the settings on paper to input manually on sense, but it will not pull my emails, although it says connection is fine.
