[Q] Facebook Sync - Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE

I just switched from sense to AOSP and I love everything except the facebook syncing. I miss how on sense it just did it.
Now there is no way to get my facebook friends' phone numbers. What can I do?
Thanks!

This may help idk. I don't use Facebook but I stumbled across this thread.

Gotta use "Friendcaster". Look it up in the play store.

Facebook for android blows...

This isn't evo3d specific, but the facebook app really sucks. Is it just licensing that keeps someone from making a better one? I would pay for a FULLY FUNCTIONAL facebook app - something that lets me do everything I can do on the site. and I would like it to have total control over what I have to see in my newsfeed, because I don't care about farmville.
I just want push notifications on my EVO like my wife has on her epic

I use friendcaster Pro, it has push notifications or can use emails like Blackberry
Facebook for iOS is virtually identical and also has issues.
Good call on friendcaster. Way better!
idk if you remember the early facebook app that was out when the Evo first came out a year ago... It was HORRIBLE compared to what we have today, so if anything, we're doing alright compared to that. And that's saying something.
But I agree, I hate having to go to the site to reply to invites to events and whatnot, gets old real quick. I also wish that gawker sites wouldn't go to the mobile site in the stock browser, it won't let you watch any flash videos, and won't let you switch to desktop version of the site. /endrant
Yeah and I will also like to change my profile pic from the app, because even if you go to the site from your phone (in desktop version) it doesn't let you do it cause of the cropping of the pic which is impossible from the phone.

Stock FB app?? I have been freaking out cuz if there is a stock FB app on my 3D Evo...I cant find it!! Wtf?? Where is it?? Or why do you have it and I don't?? Anyway someone can upload the stock apk for me, please?
Thanks!
This time it didn't come pre installed as it was on the 4G, you have to go to the market and download it.
Yeah yeah, its a shooter and I'm not afraid to use it...

Syncing contacts issue

I asked this in a different thread but it was moving so fast I think people over looked it.
Is there anything from the gb roms that i can do/add that will allow social hub sync my contacts? I loved how it showed all my Facebook friends birthdays in my calendar. i noticed HTC sense would do this too.
It might not be that its social hub that isn't allowing it it could be the calendar. maybe im missing a step. When I sign into my social hub fb account it shows to sync calendars but it doesn't show their birthdays.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know that after installing the Facebook app, you get presented with a screen which asks you what you want to sync. Personally I hate it so I always click 'do not sync' but I'm pretty sure it'll let you sync like Sense does?
Facebook app settings has a way to sync FB.
but the only thing the FB app actually sync is the picture and phone number, and maybe email, I don't remember it syncing birthdays.

facebook not syncing contact pictures.

I can tell you now, I miss facebook for htc sense when it used to ACTUALLY WORK, my contact pics aren't syncing, the facebook for android is sh*tty compared to what it used to be, this is more a rant than anything cuz I doubt it's fixable by a dev

it syncs for all my contacts, except my profile photo.
Ditto. You have to have your Facebook contacts viewable in the people app, then it will suggest links, or you can link them manually. Once linked, contact pics are synced.
it won't even sync fb contacts with 3rd party msg apps anymore!

If you're rooted you can use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639275
Plus, it's already fixed in viperRom.

Ok, we need to see exactly what this does because not only did it unlock photos in messenger apps, it has unlocked my photos in Latitude for Google maps..
Thanks for posting this... What ever its doing I wonder if it can be baked into roms.

Tap on a contact in the people app and hit the second button from the top right that says google on it. You can use it to manually link a contact to a facebook contact and should sync photos as well

I would load up the pic for the contact entry, but in using apps like handcent or gosms it wouldn't show the pics, this program has unlocked the pics to be shown!
my FB contacts pix do sync but the quality is ****...

I used the first fix I posted and my pics sync just fine.

Not rooted
My phone is not rooted, so the above link will not work. Syncmypic does not work either. I am unable to manually link in people because the phone is registering that the person is on facebook already and although the paperclip is not linked, once I click on it, it takes me to OTHER people to link to and the person disappears from the list. My pics will not link to gosms at all. Please advise! Thank you.
the initial sync works fine..But facebook doesn't seem to update on its own..so im only seeing updates and contact photos from the initial sync.
Interesting

How do you feel about Hangouts (GTalk update)?

The update available in the Play Store drastically changes Google Talk. I haven't come around on it yet; feels weird.
How do you like it?

It's better. Just because you can now send pics with the app unlike before with gtalk.

Once they implement sms I'll be sold. But it's a nice update smooth and fast.

It is absolutely terrible. Not being able to see whose online is a disgusting decision.
Such a POS that I actually had to restore the old Talk back.
is there anyway to get the old Talk back somehow ...my most recent Nandroid doesnt have it and I forgot to back it up with TB

Its tolorable, but can I for gods sake get back the ability to hide my offline contacts and for f***ks sake, the contacts who don't even have a Talk/Hangout/G+ account?
WTF Google? It's just got a huge list of contacts that you cant even contact ?
I miss the status messages.
Cant go invisible
Why are G+ groups mixed in with the contacts? Make it a drop tab or something.
Only thing going for it is the ability to finally send images.

One reason it shows your whole list though is because soon there will be SMS integration, they're preparing for that

I'd prefer if they left it for chat only - if there was an option to hide contacts that are not Google/chat users, I'd be happy with it.

Gtalk is quickly dying, and hangouts is not getting any better. Like a few have said the inability to view your online contacts is a really big deal. I have no clue how my landline non data contacts will ever be able to accept my hangout request, why must I be spamed by people I might make a phone call to once a year, I could care less if they are using hangouts. The people I talk to on gtalk enjoy using gtalk for its cross-platform ability and the nice services provided by google, sure we could use another "Instant Messenger" service like we did before Gtalk, do we really want to? looks like decision day is quickly arriving, google just about 100% killed Gtalk on android 4.3.
