Just 2 questions
1. Is there a way of sync-ing your phone contacts with facebooks so it uses the contacts face book picture etc, i can do this individualy but is there a way of doing it in one big go.
2. Can you sync your facebook calander to the HTC HD2 calander?
1. Login your facebook account in Setting/Data services. It will sync your contact with facebook avatar and birthday but the names in your contact book must be the same with your facebook friend names, if not, u have to sync one by one
2. I dont think we can
Anybody know of a better facebook app out there for the HD2?? Lets face it, the one that comes out of the box is about as much use as tits on a fish.......
There is an updated version floating around

Does the integration remain after a new ROM flash? If the names have been changed etc the first time, should do I guess?

the integration info is saved in the 'notes' field of your contact. once you sync back AND associate your phone with fb they will all re sync.
The one reason syncing with fb is good: profile pictures. Most of my friends dont like me to sit there, and take a picture of them when they give me their number, so this helps.

This works for most of my contacts, but I had to do a hard reset ant almost 1/4 didn't have nothing in Notes field - so didn't associate automatically. Is there any way to make a "full resync" or something similar so I don't have to manually associate those contacts next time?
P.S. something more simple than manually adding a Note
Does anyone have problem with this facebook sync. Everytime I try to sync, my HD2 gets verry laggy until it don't respond, and I have to pull my battery. This happens when i manually select update now, or if my phone is set to automaticaly update. Its really annoying
It's smooth for me
Maybe sth related to ur rom. Try hard-reset or flash another rom
I have done hard reset a bunch of times. HTC customer support told me to install the latest ROM, and then do a hard reset. I tryed it, but with no luck. Everything else, works like a charm. I do use ROM from HTC 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR. Maybe I should look into some custom ROM's? Any tips for a good rom? I have been searching the forum and there is so many to choose from. Can I use anyone? Or should it be one for Norway?
Do u have HSPL on your phone? If yes, try to install a couple of cook roms. Remember to do a task 29 before flashing any rom. If u have no idea about what HSPL or Taks29 is, please do take a look in the HD2 Rom development, read threads about them, and there's also a thread for noob flashing guide. It takes time but worth it.
I can suggest u a couple of cook roms I've used but it's better that u should look into the Rom threads to see which one suit ur needs, every rom is really good and fast, stable more than stock rom. I can recommend some such as CleanEX, Energy or Touch-X
there is a program called SocialSync can be found here

i tried it on my HD2, it does work but it does take a long time to sync and transfer facebook details to your contacts (well maybe for me coz i linked like 100+ contacts)
but one thing good about this is that it edited the birthday field on my contacts on my device, and now can be used by manilaBirthday
also, if contact doesnt exist on your device, u can add friends from FB to ur contact list
question... if i login to the sense facebook without enabling it to download automatically every 2 hours, would facebook in sense still try to update by itself?
the reason here is i logged in to facebook in sense but did not enable automatic downloading yet surprisingly my phone started to access my internet. others experience the same?
does any1 know how to get the facebook sync back in action after turning it off. I disabled it temporarily, but I lost all the synced data as a result. After reactivating it, it no longer syncs (although for some reason it seems to acknowledge that the contacts have a facebook profile linked to them, but it is unable to download photos, updates etc)
Is there anyway to do it aside from a hard reset? Something I'd rather avoid
I'm using the stock ROM 3.14 (WWE)
Facebook for hd2 or hd2 for facebook?
No one has come across "snaptu"? Go to http://m.snaptu.com . there you download a app for your hd2, there is unsigned and verisigned which i dont understand the significance of it. But i lliked it. It is a JAVA app so you need to run JBlend and then snaptu app. i can do everything as on a computer except CHAT. Do you know anything better? please tell me. especially one that you can chat with.
Is there any way to display upcoming birthdays/anniversaries on home screen of HTC Sense 2.5 (US T-Mobile HD2) ?
I mean ... w/o generating them as appointments
i think there's no way,
because it's linked with the htc and outlook calendar.
nokia s60 (e66) calendar has the same problem because it's based on mso calendar to sync it.
you only can set it as "whole day" - "every year" appointment with a 2 day reminder ).
works good for me
and i can sync it to every mso compatible device.
(or you should think about a homescreen tweak and a other calendar)
ok i´m wrong

I ended up using ManilaBirthday too ... but did not like the idea .. I mean ... having to start separate application to check if somebody has birthday devalues whole idea of having birthday REMINDER on front page, so it does in fact REMINDS you
Manila Birthday also has that "generation of calendar entries" ... which is OK, but I'm not sure how does it work if I change birthday date. May be I just need to regenerate.
Oh well ... I guess that is my best choice ... I really miss SPB Mobile Shell with birthday reminders.
Is there a better calendar app than the stock one? And I don't mean just a widget like Pure Calendar, I mean an end-to-end solution like Hancent and Chompsms are to the messaging client.
In particular, on my old Palm and Nokia devices, I had calendar clients that allowed me to do something that I wanted to yesterday - make an event that reoccurs on the same day every other week.
The applications I had actually allowed further customisation where you could set a reoccuring event to occur with a user defined number of day/weeks/years between the even reoccuring again.
Are there any apps that give this level of control?

Here's what I do............ google calender is extremely customisable. When you are creating the event, look for the Repeats link; change that to Weekly, then - in the new info which appears, 2. I do this on the website calender, not in the phone.
i want to give up on htc sense for awhile. how can i integrate facebook pics for my contacts without having to do them one by one?
using miri's xtralight titanium rom
i have the stock rom, and i would like to know how to do it without doing it one by one, its a pain in my arse!
I don't think there is a way right now, it's very frustrating I know
does anyone know what facebook syn data ( on/off ) does in the communication manager? I had it on and had all the pics syned with my contacts. when i put it off i lost the pics. Does this automatically send me notifications like push emails to me from facebook? (even though i have this off in comm manager)
or it just basically updates my contacts to fb whenever i go online to fb like status and pics???
