One of my contacts does not display his name, just his phone number when in txt messages. I can't for the life of me figure out why?
He is linked up to fb and fb for htc sense and the details for him in the phone contact are all there.
Another contact shows the name but has M after the name, possibly where i may have had the m in that field for 'mobile' but the contact itself doesn't have it, i've synced with outlook and looked at the contact on that and the m is no where to be seen!! it's not from the sim either becuase this is a brand new sim.
I'm not impressed with the fb sync with this phone, its ****e, half of my contacts don't display pics of fb and they are defo synced both with fb and fb for htc sense
it's all a bit ****, which is a shame as i'm really happy with the phone
any ideas?
have you tried deleting both errored contacts entirely, (clear cache if you're rooted) and re-entering them?

Well, that was my next plan of action. I'm not rooted, any way of clearing cache if not?
ive just noticed another with the m, where the hell is it picking that info up from, it's simply not in the contact details grrrr
hang on, they have all got it, its to show its a mobile number?? have you not got that?

For some reason I do not find all my FB contacts to link contacts of my HD2?
I do not what causes that but my FB application and HD2 when trying to link user to fb user... it doesn't find all my fb friends... I have about ~250 friends...
Are you trying to link your contacts to their fb accounts?
The HD2 automatically links contacts to their fb profiles if their names match. If their names do not match you will have to link them manually by selecting the contact --> edit contact --> Associate with facebook account (scroll to bottom)
(Note: some people have said it can also link by email address, but I have had no success with this)
Or do you mean that some fb friends do not appear in the associate list? I have had this issue a couple of times, try restarting the device or logging out and back into facebook via accounts manager?

This one... and all my friends are also invible in FB app v1.1.0.17.
And... I've tried reset and restarting my device soooo many times to get this working...
Hmm... accounts manager?? My bells are not ringing?
Account manager: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager
Also try Settings Tab --> Data Services --> facebook --> tick Download data Automatically
Also try finding profiles over WiFi as opposed to 3g?
Hope this helps

Damn don't work... I've about 280 friends and in list where I can choose contact for linking I see only 196 contacts...
C'mon guys I am desperate about this situation....
have you logged into facebook via sense or are you just using the fb app ?
Both... However... FB app is working ok but sense don't update anything anymore...
It seems that now it is time to update Energy ROM again
Damn... after updating ROM to Energy_Sense 18.9 version I still do not have ability to sync all my contacts to facebook contact. Sense only see 195 FB contacts.
I've been having the same problem for a few months now. I've got a stock HTC Pure and I'm using the ordinary Facebook app downloaded from MS Marketplace.
When the HTC Sense tries to link a contact on my phone with one of my FB friends, not all my friends show up in the list, even after refreshing. Brand new friends just added show up, but a small handful of existing friends are not in the "Link Profiles" list.
Also, those same friends are not showing up in the Facebook app. When I view my friends list, they are simply not there, as if we're not even friends. Even weirder, if I search for those friends by name or email or phone #, no results appear. So I can't view their wall or profile or anything.
Another weird thing about this is that if one of those friends sends me a message through FB, it shows up in my message section of the app, but there's no name next to it, and no profile pic (just the generic pale blue head icon). If one of those friends posts on my wall, their words show up in the app but there's no name or pic beside the post.
I tried everything from updating the app to hard resetting the phone, but still the same problem. We tried entering the city in the employer section like someone mentioned already, but that had no effect.
Anyone else have these issues? Any resolutions yet?
I'm having similar problem today, but using the method: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager, logout the FB. Then go back to FB on sense to login, everything back to normal.
Thanks jwchips for the tips!
Went to sprint store and they said the best way to do contacts is to get it the way you wanted under gmail.com contacts and then sync it.
I finally got the contacts the way I wanted, but I want to know:
1) How to completely clear out what's on the phone now
2) Sync it with what's up on gmail contacts
How do I do this?
Thanks

well i just jumped inot the "PEOPLE" program we got and if u click MENU and then "VIEW"....u can select and de-select which contacts u would like on yur device....ex: twitter, phone, ect, ect, ect.....
at least that how i figured out how to managed which contacts u got on yur phone....also, ive used GMAIL on my PC to manage my contacts as well....hope i didnt make this confusing for ya LOL
Go to setting/applications/mange apps
Then find contact storage. The clear data. Then go to settings/account and sync then enable background data then press on your email and then choose sync contacts and you should be good.

THANKS!
That worked!
Now one last question.
If memory serves, as people send me emails, they get added to my "contacts" under gmail automatically and thus would get sync'd automatically to my phone. How do I prevent or manage this? I get TONS of SPAM every day (200+ new emails) and don't want everyone coming over to my phone as contacts!

You can select only view contacts with phone numbers in the settings/view of the people app. But I believe if you go into gmail and your computer under settings you can disable automatic contacts add. I use gmail and my contacts only add if I tell it too.
I'm pretty sure it only adds a email address to ur contact list of it matches an existing contact or you add them on google talk or something

hey guys, i am having an issue with my e3d running synergy 318. I have 3 gmail accounts on my phone, all are set to auto sync, but for some reason my main account has begun acting up. All my emails are showing up to the phone and i can read/delete/respond just fine, but it doesnt clear the unread count, if i sign into gmail on my laptop it will show the emails still there and unread even though i deleted them on my phone. even it i hit refresh on my phone it still doesnt fix it, any ideas? My other 2 accounts work just fine its just my main account, so of course i cant delete it with out doing a factory reset, (may end up doing this anyways, just checking to see if there is a setting i missed somewhere that would fix this)
Had this last week----go into settings and applications and the gmail. Clear cache and data and let it sync again and you should be golden

awesome, thanks, i tried clearing data with TiBu but that didnt fix it for some reason, this appears to have worked... for now, lol, hopefully it holds, i'll test it a bit more, this was killing me, i am waaaaayyy to OCD to have anything inthe unread count, i want to push my wife down a flight of stairs (just kidding dont call the cops lol) everytime i see her 300+ unread emails on her evoOG
hey all, by far not a noob when it comes to flashing and roms
but this restoring process is kicking my ass pretty bad, really it's just the contacts part... almost all of my contacts have FB's so I link them with my address book. restoring the contacts was no prob but is there any way to restore the FB links when flipping between roms?
I run into this same problem with certain contacts every time I flash a rom, and I dont believe there is a way to have the link of the two contacts saved. Is your probem with every contact or just some?
The links that stay for me are the ones that the facebook contact has a matching phone number attached to the profile. Maybe try to check if the phone numbers match.
You're right, those contacts with the same number on FB get linked automatically. But they are only 2 out of 300 who published their number on FB.
Well before I flashed the new rom, I exported the contacts to .vcf-data to my SD. I opened the exported .vcf with all my contacts info in it with a texteditor and saw, that the FB link also gets exported:
Code:
...
BEGIN:VCARD
VERSION:2.1
N:Mustermann;Max;;;
FN:Max Mustermann
TEL;CELL;PREF:+436641234567
NOTE:<HTCData><Facebook>id:123456789/friendof:1234567890</Facebook></HTCData>
END:VCARD
...
So I thought OK, no prob, they will get gestored when I import it again. Nope! There were absolutely no links (only the 2, who have same number on FB).
But I was curious and exported the contacts (with no FB links displayed) again and saw that the FB-Tag was still there.
So the links ARE in the contacts database, but the Contacts App does not really recognize it.
Today I saw, that some of my contacts got automatically linked again. Wondering, I tried to find points in common and found out, that they all have updated their status recently. So my suppose is, that if the system-app "Facebook for HTC Sense" get a new status-feed from a friend, it checks if the friend is linked with one of your contacts on the phone (it is due the tag) and puts the status to this contact. Due to this procedure, the FB link gets "refreshed" and shows up again.
But thats not really a solution - it would last years until all my contacts would get refreshed again.
THE solution would be a little batch, refreshing the existing FB links of all contacts.
I have one friend from Facebook that just won't sync with my phone. I have removed her, added her back, resynced and nothing. I have restored my device twice, and still nothing. I have removed Facebook from my phone, I have done everything that I can think of. I have used two programs (SyncMyPix + HeartofAngel), but her profile just won't show up in either program to sync to my phone.
All of my fb friends are linked according to their Google contacts in my address book. The contact in question is linked. HTC suggested I sign out of fb, clear everything under Facebook in applications, reboot the phone, then sign back in. However, HTC sense doesn't always sync. So I use a program from heartofangel.com and an app on my phone called SyncMyPics. When I launch and sync using that latter on my phone, everyone syncs, except for this particular fb friend. When I look at the results, she's not even listed in those results. When I use the Google contacts program from heartofangel.com, every fb friend populates. When I scroll down to hers, she's there, when given the option to re-link her Google contact to facebook contact, it doesn't appear she's a friend of mine on Facebook. I've removed the Google contacts and syncmypics apps on Facebook, then relaunched the apps, then allowed permission again. Nothing works. Does this make any sense?
She is definitely a friend of mine on fb. She has not unfriended me. She shares her email on fb, but not her phone #. She's showing up as Google and Facebook (linked together) in my address book. It's just with other syncing apps/programs, she's not showing up with those. It's the weirdest thing.
What on earth could this be? Any ideas?
I think its a Facebook problem, I've been having this problem with my cousins Facebook page since i had a samsung vibrant, i've since then gave up, i never found a resolution

I am beginning to wonder that myself. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing with my phone. I guess I am a little anal about that. LOL! I want them all to sync over. I am posting my problem on here to the "google contacts sync" forum and see if the owner has a suggestion.
I had similar problems when I first set up my Amaze with my wife's profile. Don't remember exactly what fixed it, but I think it was after the third or fourth time I cleared data and caches in both the Facebook app, and the Facebook for HTC Sense app, and sense then everyone is syncing fine. Maybe it had to do with the order I cleared them, I'm afraid I just don't remember.
I have found a solution but you won't like it...it took me a while to figure this out...so basically if you set up your google account before your facebook, facebook will not sync correctly....since android 2.x won't let us delete the current google account (ICS will allow this), you have to reset to factory settings, then setup your facebook account DO NOT SETUP google when prompted in the start wizard. wait an hour or so until all pics and things are downloaded and everything is synced up...then go ahead and setup google account so you can use the market, but make sure you are not syncing google contacts yet, update the facebook app through the market, (this way you will get high quality pics from facebook, if you have an older facebook app on your rom, you will get lower quality pics until you update to the new facebook app), finally you can sync your google contacts etc after about an hour or so (if you have sense) you will get a bunch of matched or linked contacts showing up ....this should help...
any questions let me know
WOW! Now THAT was some good advice. I am going to do that here now and see what happens. I have installed Friendster, and this one FB friend STILL doesn't show up in that app either. I am wondering if this has something to do with the FB API. I have 391 friends on FB, but only 388 are syncing to my phone. It won't hurt to do a factory reset.
Thank you for that info.

I did exactly what you suggested. I actually have 389 FB friends and all 389 FB friends are now downloaded to my phone. However, I am getting some with their profile picture and some without. See attachment. I have cleared the data from both FB and FB for HTC SENSE now 3 times. But not all of the profile pictures are downloading. Perhaps I need to go ahead and sign in to my gmail account and download the newest FB app, then resync? Any suggestions would be awesome!
Same problem

wait for all the pictures to download give it some time a couple of hours...then if not all are downloaded sign into the market and get the latest facebook app...when you're signing into market, MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT SYNCING CONTACTS ITS GOING TO START TO SYNC RIGHT AWAY, STOP IT IMMEDIATELY. AND MAKE SURE AUTO SYNC IS OFF. once you downloaded the new facebook app, simply sync again. and if this doesn't work, delete the facebook account under sync (not the app itself) and add the facbook for htc sync again...this should do it.
And the picture quality is also.very very low..
When I call some1 is see only pixels.

thats because facbeooks native app uses 96 x 96 pics, don't even download facebook app, use the facbook for sense app, under sync section to sync the contacts and pics first, it'll give you much higher quality...unless you're running NRGZ rom, he has replaced the original Facebook for Sense app with the stock facebook, in which case you have to push an apk from another rom to your phone and resync. check out nrgz threads, someone just told me to do this recently.
