Facebook issue - ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers

Does anyone else have this issue? I can't seem to find an option to save Facebook photos to gallery. On my other devices, I have a 3 dot menu at the top right corner, I can't find it when using Facebook on this phone. And my Facebook is updated to the latest version as well.

New Facebook contacts not showing up

I just had two friends add me last night and I can see their profiles fine on Facebook over IE/Firefox/Chrome now.
However, when I open the People app on Hero, locate their contact card, and attempt to link them, I cannot find their name listed in the Facebook results returned. I pressed Menu -> Update All, and still the names are not showing up.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

Facebook profile photos only downloaded for certain individuals

I recently got my HTC HD2 and I tried to add all of my contacts from my old phone and sync them to facebook to get contact photos. While some of the people worked fine and I got the photos and the birthdays, for some I got no information at all.
This is annoying because it is mainly those that I would like to add to my favourites that do not recieve their profile picture or birthday or any information.
I've searched this forum for a similar problem but could only come up with problems with earlier builds. This seems to be a problem for some people running the palm pre as well.
Interestingly if I use the facebook app I also cannot get the profile pictures for these people either.
Is it a privacy settings thing, or am I doing something wrong?
This is the same on my HD2 and my HTC Hero as well.. maybe facebook need to fix something?
Anyone else having this problem?
Yes I had this problem.
Think it is more of a problem with facebook mobile to be honest.
I had this, but then found a solution (for me anyway).
Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.
Hope this helps
ahh you sniped this comment in just before i posted kanesw
yea that works for me too.
I've tried that, when i click on the download button the option just stays greyed out. (the facebook profile option) I can see it trying to find the data but it doesn't work.
I've the same problem with some contacts, you can link it to the fackbook contact but it just won't download any info about them. Works fine for most facebook contacts.

I've tried this but the facebook profile option is greyed out after i click the download button. I can see it trying to get the photo but it doesn't manage it.
You dont have to click the download icon, just leave it for a minute or so and see if it downloads it
I've found the above usually helps and if it doesnt I deleted the contact and remade it and linked it and then it worked.
I've tried everything and I still can't get some of them to work. I also can't get their albums to work or their birthdays, and they don't have a profile picture when using the facebook app either. Must be a problem there somehow.
I've noticed when I go to link a contact to a facebook profile the friend is missing. I have 400+ friends and it only shows me as having 235 friends when it goes to find the contact. I'm not sure if this is something to do with users having privacy settings on facebook and not showing up or what. However I too have several contacts with no link to facebook as they are not listed as facebook contacts thru the HTC facebook link app.
There is a privacy setting in facebook that allows users to stop other apps using their details. I guess its that as i have friends i know are on facebook but dont show up.
Definitely a privacy setting in some cases. I have a couple of friends whose profile pictures never show and I know from talking to them that they're all using the 'don't use my picture in external applications' option.
that sucks man, i have the same problem here. I guess the only way is to convince them to turn that privacy setting off, i absolutely LOVE the fact that our HD2 can grab the info from their facebook pages, it looks so cool
Settings > Privacy Settings > Applications > Settings...
They need to tick Profile picture there and tick anything else you want access to via the HD2.
Also is there any way to actually save the contact pics into outlook. It seems that the pics only stays on he phone and the outlook is not updated after syncing.
cheers

Yes, if you use the facebook pictures application in spb mobile shell instead of sense, then the facebook picture is saved to outlook as well! Dont know why this does not work in sense, it definately should!!
in HTC Albums I can only see a facebook album from one of my friends which works really good, but that's the only one.. also the intergated updates/events don't seem to work.. thumbnails and birthdays work fine..
I can't even see my own pictures.. while I'm almost sure I've tried every facebook privacy/sharing and aplication setting I could find..
any tips are much appriciated..

Open online album problem

On the quick launch contacts tab i've associated my contacts with their facebok profiles, and you can click to view their Facebook online albums which is all good but when I open an album instead of showing me thumbnails I get the image cannot be displayed symbol (Circle with a line through).
It's the same for every album I try and every contact.........
Any ideas, or any one else experince this?
Also when and how often is the contacts FB status updated, does it do it based on your FB update settings in Data Services?
Cheers!
Is your problem similar to that in this thread?
Hope that helps.
Legend mate thanks!!!!
I did search but it only brought back 2 threads neither of which where what I wanted!!
BSB Tweaks is the culprit, a cache tweak...

Facebook Contact Pictures Not Showing Up

Is anybody else having issues with Facebook contact pictures not all showing up throughout the phone (SMS, Contacts, etc)?
I'm running Kspec Komplete CyanogenMod beta 5, however it has been like this since beta 3.
I know all of my sync settings are correct because maybe... 1/8 of my contacts pictures are coming in, but I can't find any rhyme or reason for those particular ones showing up.
Any ideas?
This can't be specific to just my phone.
Nobody else is experiencing this?
I believe it has to do with the privacy settings on your contacts' facebook
I only have like 500 some-odd facebook contacts, but have it just displaying my gmail contacts that are also facebook friends (so a little over 100 phone numbers in my phone) and its always shown everyone's photo and updated just fine up until I jumped ship to root-town.

Integrated Facebook albums

I've searched this forum and could not find an answer. I am having issues with viewing albums using the Open Online Album on a contact but if I use the Facebook application, I can see the album just fine. It tries to load the picture but all i get is a prohibited sign. I cannot even view my own album this way. Anyone else having this same issue?

I saw that but I get a "This hot fix is not compatible with your device." Any other suggestions?
