I always sync my favorite contacts with Facebook but since sometimes my phone contacts don't have a picture that fits well on the contact avatar of the phone or they're not alone in the picture- I like to use a picture that I added myself on the phone. I've realized that everytime FB syncs with the phone my contacts picture automatically changes to the new picture on FB and I have to go back to the personal picture myself. Has anyone else experienced this same "bug" ? It never happened to me with Liberated Eclair

Suggestion: Since we have 2 kernel options for FR008, I would make a nandroid backup of your current ROM/kernel and then flash the other kernel and see if you still have the issue. If you didn't experience the issue on Liberated Eclair, then maybe Liberated Froyo with the HTC Hong Kong kernel may not have the issue. Just a thought?

I forgot to mention that I'm running FR008 with the HK kernel. What are you running? Have you had this problem before?
I don't think its a bug. It was also present on the stock A&T 2.1 rom that came with the phone.
I think HTC just made it so if you choose to sync fb contacts it will automatically select the newest pictures available. Sadly, I never found a way to bypass it (so I just switched to CM6).

I running the HK kernel, too, however, I don't allow FB to sync contacts because this is a company phone and I use the company's Exchange Server to store and sync my contacts.
For me it's an intermittent issue. For some contacts the override stays indefinitely, for some a few days, and for one person it reverts to the FB pic with every synch. I have no idea what logic HTC uses to determine which pic to show.

Really? I used 2.1 for like 3 months since I got my phone and I never dealed with this issue. Now on FR008 it's so annoying, some of my contacts switches pictures everyday and I have to constantly revert my phone contacts to the desired picture. Maybe it's not a bug and it's a function causing this, I just wish I knew which one

I'm sorry...but I seriously have to tell you, that seeing you quote yourself was by far one of the funniest things I've ever seen on a forum. Maybe it's because I'm a little delirious but that was COMICAL.

WTF? hahahahaahahahahahahaha Dude! I was replying through my phone in bed and I must have pressed the wrong quote button. I didn't even notice I was quoting myself hahaha. I'll fix it now
Back on toppic: This **** is annyoing
i don't think its a bug. facebook is syncing properly and pulling the appropriate information. if anything, i'd imagine the bug was with eclair for not pulling the picture.
if you don't like dealing with it, you can always switch back.

Did you even read the thread? I tell my phone specifically to use the picture I asigned to my contacts but it keeps on switching to the picture on FB.
yes, i did read the thread. no one seems to have any other information or solutions, so i'd say switch back or deal with it.

Has anyone noticed how stupid difficult it is to link FB accounts to your google contacts? Its like they took a good way of doing it (Hero 1.5) and just was like "nope, we need something new"
For example, I loved how Hero 1.5 imported the FB picture to the google contact so when the person called you had a quality picture come up. But with 2.1 its like you can either only have the google contact OR the FB as the primary. But the picture never gets imported!
Or am I missing something??

After some poking around I'm thinking that the Facebook Feature isn't 100%. If you're using KiNgxKxKlair Eclair Hero Version 1.0 "Official Release" and go through the normal SetUp.. you'll notice once you skip over the google sign in that singing into facebook is grayed out. Maybe it's just broken at this point.

Although they are SENSE UI ROMs!!!
Since my phone has been working well with the 1.48 ROM, is there anything I'm missing when compared to the new 1.66 ROM? No issues with SMS...don't want to go through the process of reinstalling apps if nothing is gained.
Thanks in advance.
-Bob-
I've asked this a couple of times but nobudy seems to have the answer. and in light of reading about the problems that people have xperienced with 1.66, I've decided to stick with 1.48
The only other fix that I'm aware of is that the lock screen/emails not opening from Sense issue that was introduced in 1.48 has been resolved. Other than that, the screen seems a little less responsive (although I'm used to it now) and the Task Manager has been moved to the Start Menu.
Hope that helps

What problems with 1.66? I've only just installed it so couldn't say I've tested it thoroughly but I haven't come across any/heard of any...

I read in another forum that the official release will be another week or so due to some tweaking they want to do to the ROM.
I don't know if this is accurate or not (and I do not have alink to the forum where I read this...I read too many forums), but I think I may wait for the official release.

when 2.13 was leaked it was exactly the same as the one that was released. I'm guessing this will be the same deal. Doesn't hurt to wait though.
3.14 is amazingly stable in my opinion...loads faster than 2.13 to boot!
I didn't wait.
I've been pleasantly surprised by how stable it's been. I've had maybe one or two freezes since the install and that was on day one. Since then it's been rock solid. Even the HTC messaging has been lag free.
It will be some time before I think about switching back to custom ROMs. Although I do miss all those nice features that nrgz has in his builds...
I'll probably install the official release if they've made any tweaks.
I love reading this and am not a patient man, but on the tmo forum (I finally figured out where I read it) they note puling it back for a few more tweaks.
probably bs, but who knows.
I know I should just dicer in with a link from here as I did last time, but I just did a fresh wipe and reinstall a few weeks back due to exchange server policy enforcement and subsequent lock out and thought maybe to wait...just in case.
thanks for the kind responses though!
There is a major flaw. my head phones do not work with this rom. i tested it twice and then had to go back to retail to confirm that my head phone did not become defective. im sure they will review and fix this issue. the speed is the same i can confirm. it needs some more tweaks none the less.
3.14 has been working fine so far. However, my lock screen picture is now stretched. It's driving me insane!!
Has anyone else had this problem? Could it be happening because of something other than the new rom update?
Does anyone know how to adjust lock screen pictures? I can't seem to find any options.
How do you install the .exe file?
What .exe file? The ROM itself? You connect your phone via USB to your computer, let it sync, then run the .exe from your computer to install the ROM on your phone. Read the stickies for exact instructions.

maybe something was wrong apart from the rom, because both stock and my custom roms worked fine... i listen to audi via headphones twice a day every single day... and my headphones work
the rom is a little faster and there are new GUI designs
when i used it as a custom rom, i had no issues. but the moment i used xmoo version of 3.14 i would always get the same issue. i connect head phones and i dont hear anyone talking via phone calls. also for some reason, they are always on speaker phone even if the option is not enable.
can you please link me the version of rom you are using?

God what a huge improvement everything is. I unplugged it from power last night around midnight and left it next to my bed while I slept. With WiFi on. It's now 10 hours later, I've toyed with it for about an hour, and the battery is at 90%.
Unfortunately, HTC Messaging + Swype doesn't appear to be a lot better. Maybe a little, in terms of the initial lag when replying to a msg. Also, when a new msg comes in and you hit the message tab, the thumbnail isn't always the current msg.
Emails look a TON different. Much smaller text = YAY!
Knucklehead noobie here... Where do I get the updated ROM from? Thanks.
Does flashing a new ROM delete all your text messages and stuff?
ranestari, yes it does.
However, just sign up for the Microsoft MyPhone thing (free, and if you already have a live account, you're good to go.) The MyPhone app is in your start menu.
It will back up (sync) all of your texts and pics to their online space, only accessible by you (http://myphone.microsoft.com)
When you flash the rom, just launch the MyPhone app again, log in etc... and it will sync all your texts back to your phone.
There are third party sync options out there, but I've never seen the point.
After flashing 3.14 to my HTC HD2, Microsoft My Phone no longer can synchronize with my computer. It just gets stuck at Authenticating User.
Anybody else have this problem?
Microsoft MyPhone doesn't sync with your computer. It syncs to the cloud (internet). Just put in your live, msn, hotmail or whatever account you configured it with before you flashed, and it should resync.

Can you elaborate on this? My main frustration with the current rom is the stupid HTC messaging client with swype. I absolutely despise this thing and I tried disabling it and going back to the old windows messaging but that didn't go too well (unread counter never resets.. OMFG so frustrating!). My only hope is that they fix this crap in the new rom.
Is the lag when loading texts still ridiculous? Is it at least somewhat better? Why haven't they figured this out, this is just pure crazy in my opinion. A company of that magnitude can't figure out how to fix one of the most basic applications in the phone. this is absurd.
I personally HATE Swype and disable it evertime I flash to a new ROM or come in contact with someone thats got an HD2 with it enabled, but what I can say is that while HTC Messageing in the new ROM is "faster" its also just as slow. What I mean is that (for me anyways) it no longer lags when I get a new text, but its just as slow to load a thread if it has any ammount of messages in it. Personally I don't find HTC Messageing to be all that bad if you just delete your threads every now and then, but thats just me.
I have a problem. Whenever someone sends me a picture mail i receive the message but the picture does not come up. the only thing there is a button that says download and you click on it and it says downloading but nothing happens. Any thoughts on what i should do?
So I'm guessin your running one of the Cyanogen or AOSP roms. I've found these just don't do picturemail all that well. I can get static pics but no animated gifs on these roms. I've never had a problem on any of the Sense roms (Not sure about Sense hd).
If your having issues on a stock Sense build, this may be a phone problem.
yeah its cyanogen. i dont even see the static picture. do u know a good sense rom to get? i would love to try one that is good.
Thanks,
fresh evo 3.5 is pretty good. i just switched from that to cm because i want to used a bt keyboard and wii remote on my phone.
fresh is pretty quick.
i think you will like it

I get the same problem with Myn's Warm. I think it may be a phone issue.
I have the same problem and made a thread if you want to check it out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10197958
basically the only fix i have found for now is when you get the download button, open a task killer and kill the "messages" and "message uploader" processes then go back into the message and hit download and it will come up. From what I can tell it is for sure a sprint issue. I have had the problem before i even rooted and its continued no matter which rom i use or which wimax/radios either.
OP, are you running handcent? i have the same "problem" but i thought it was just a setting in handcent.
I have the same issue, of course my cell phone provider told me to do a hard reset, I can send picture messages, but can't recieve them.
I get this sometimes too. Usually dropping to 3g will fix it. If that doesn't work, a reboot will do. It tends to happen when I've gone a long time without rebooting.
I"ve had the problem on different phonies, different ROMS, different MODS> Sprint says there's a ticket out the MMS problem.... for what it's worth
Any fix or setting fix for this? Im on CM7 nightlies! Thanks!
The problem been around since my touch pro. Only "fix" i know, is to add the contact pic on the phone directly. But when it sync anytime after, like flashing a new rom, it'll be jacked up again. Shrug
