I remember a while back ago this being discussed as one of the less important fixes for HTC to make. If you use Facebook and use it to sync contacts the birthdays under HTC's people tab would appear to be exactly one day off. I believe this has been a problem with Sense 3.0 and 3.5. It appears with this new OTA release, this problem has been fixed. Has anyone else noticed this?
Yes. It does seem to be fixed now in the people app. They seemed to always be correct in the calendar app.

what is the best dialer with big numbers,is there a dialer like the nexus s dailer?
I use dialer one. It is free from the market. It has smart dialing- like the HTC dialer. Doesn't look like Nexus dialer though.
Thanks a lot I like it.

My favorite one is atakephone. What I like is that I can the skin on it also you can schedule a call right from the contact or call log to call the person back later. It also shows up on your calender in gmail. Hope that helps.
another good one is "go contacts" (it includes the dialer)...i really like it, and it is themed like miui
its free and the info can be found here

Get Photo Unlocker from the Market. I've got FB pics in my Dialer One.

Thanks alot photo unlocker does not work with the stock cm7 dialer. I noticed it only seemed to unlock 1 photo does dialer one use more battery than the standard one
I've never had any issues with Dialer One, and I've used it since my Hero.

This should work using the stock dialer in cm7 if you've installed the facebook app and set it to sync contacts. However, I think you have to set each contact manually. Find the contact, long press until the menu comes up and select edit (choose the contacts app if it gives you any options). You should then see the various merged contacts (eg. Google contacts and Facebook). Scroll down to the facebook section and tap on the facebook profile pic. A menu should come up with one option, "use this picture" (or something to that effect). Tap on it and save your changes. Voila...
For some reason I still can't see my facebook contacts with the stock dialer or dialer one when I used photo unlocker it unlocked about 3 contacts. Before I downloaded cm7 I had all my contacts linked with my facebook so now when I go into a contacts under notes it says <htc><facebook>id and a lot of numbers. When I go to edit contact it does not give me an option to link it facebook at all.
I really like AContact...
But make sure you go with the little green dude with glasses. There's another one that isn't by "movesti" that is not great.
just want to say thanks for this post.... I hate the stock CM dailer.
+1 for TouchPal dialer.
This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I don't get any notifications when someone posts on my wall or anything.
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
i noticed that also but then i checked under sync and it was set to ONCE A DAY
Yeah but on my wife's epic its instant. Also sync is not push, so the sync time has nothing to do with the notifications. In fact the sync time is just for the news feed
Sent from my EVO 3D using XDA App
Touch wiz and Sense aren't the same, so touchwiz might have push facebook notifications. Do you have the facebook market app installed?
u need the facebook for android app, the built in fb for sense just updates friend stream and contacts
Facebook app + notifications = fail. They don't work half the time.. Google it. Very very common problem..
It always works on my widest phone the epic and its just the app that does it. I have the app and have all my settings on Facebook.com and my EVO the same as hers. Still it does not work yet it always works on hers.

Agreed. Friendcaster is much better. Notifcations pop up, can tag photos, etc...
King Ty so much for your help can I ask one more thing of you? What are you notification settings inside the Facebook app? Thx again
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I was about to make a new thread until I saw this.
Anyone else really upset that there's no fix to this? The Facebook app is absolute garbage without push notifications. What gets me is that the app was SUPPOSED to support it a while ago, but it clearly doesn't work and Facebook doesn't seem to be doing anything about it. Funny, because the Google+ app handles push notifications perfectly
I've done a lot of research and it honestly seems as though MOST people don't know what exactly push notifications are. You read a lot of 'well I get them almost right away" or 'I get them almost instantly'. Haha with push you're supposed to get them immediately, no questions asked You shouldn't have to wait for your phone, or the app to sync with Facebook's servers. Facebook servers tell your phone immediately as soon as there's a change.
There has to be something we can do to fix this. Sorry I'm just really bothered by it LOL
I have the Evo 4g and i no longer get push notifications. I though it had something to do with my Facebook account but recently purchases a htc amaze and sg2 and both of those phone received instant notifications. I since returned both so now i am stuck with no or very late notifications.
When I got my samsung galaxy note to the left of the home screen was a page that had a facebook app at the top of the screen. I was able to look at one persons statue at a time and enter a status update if I wanted too. After the ICS update facebook wouldn't load so I had to delete the app. I re installed the app but is it possible to somehow get the app back the way it was?
I don't think there are different device specific versions. I think the version you had was the highest available for whatever rom you had (stock GB?). I could be dead wrong on this, but seeing that you havn't had a response yet, this is my best guess.
Soo...you could attempt to find older versions of the FB app, but that in itself can be risky. FB is notorious of taking one step forward and two steps back. They have made their app completely useless for some phones for weeks at a time. There was a point that, on my SGS Vibrant, it would constantly refresh every 5 seconds or so making it nearly impossible to read anything.
I hope someone comes along and drops a link in famous XDA style of being endless repository of knowledge, but I fear you may be waiting to see what the next update brings. For me, I'm just happy when the damned thing works right.
Why facebook ICS not same with GB. App facebook already up to date but not same with facebook GB.

You're thinking of the Facebook widget. Long press your home screen until the "add" box comes up, select widgets, select Facebook, it will put it on your current screen if there is room. Then long press the widget and slide it around to place the widget where you want it.

Hi guys,
I've been meaning to post this for a while, but with the new Gmail app, I don't have the options in the notification bar like you are supposed to get (delete, reply, etc.). I am currently running Viper Rom, if that makes a difference. Is anyone else experiencing this as well?
Seems to only work when i have one new email. Two or more emails and I have to go to the main app to delete /archive etc.

I noticed that as well. If two or more emails that option does not show.

That is really weird. When I first downloaded the new update, it wouldn't work even with 1 email. I reinstalled the Gmail app, and it now seems to work with only 1 email, which makes sense because it could get a bit crowded with multiple emails.
I have the same problem as well. I have removed the app and reinstalled several time but still don't see the options. Quite odd.
