[Desire General] DougKVoon:
Same problem here in Australia.... one hand good to know that I'm not alone (misery loves company), but it's really annoying!!! :(
[Desire General] jaztim:
I just got this reply.

Thank you for your enquiry about your handset. Our technicians are working hard with Facebook to resolve an issue with Facebook for HTC sense that has affected some customers from Friday. You need take no action now, and we hope to have everything working and again really soon. If you can leave your information with us, we can contact you when we get a solution for you. I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

I'm in the UK. Noticed this on Saturday after flashing the Neophyte 2.2 ROM. Some FB contacts are visible to the People app, some aren't. Friendstream seems OK for updates, it's just contacts that don't sync. I then tried again yesterday and some synched OK - but others are still not available. Not sure if FB privacy settings have changed or something, but keep checking yours...it will presumably fix itself eventually.
[Desire General] popkid:
+1

Been broken for me since Friday... I updated my own status then and it worked, but since then, no updates, if I try and refresh is just says the service is currently unavailable...

I tried removing HTC sense from the FB side on my PC and its odd, if I try to sync from my phone, the App is re-added to FB, so it knows something is trying to connect, but sync doesn't work, tried over wi-fi too, no difference.

[Desire General] SimonCraddock:
I got this back from HTC support which worked for me..

We have been working with Facebook to determine a fix for your facebook problems. In the mean time, we have found that some customers have success when editing their work profiles on their Facebook page. If you have added a company and have checked the box next to “I currently work here,” simply add the City / Town of your office. This will allow for HTC Sense to communicate with Facebook without failing.

I don’t want to reveal so much detail on my profile, is there another way? You can also delete the work information, and add it back after we have made the appropriate changes to solve this issue.

What happened? There seems to have been a miscommunication between Facebook servers and your phone and that caused an inability to sync updates.
[Desire General] popkid:
ah, maybe getting somewhere, that does work, sort of... the friend stream is back... but facebook contacts still don't sync, so the links between phone contacts and facebook contacts still don't work
[Desire General] SimonCraddock:
If you go into Settings>Accounts & Synch and click on Facebook for HTC Sense is Synch Contacts ticked, mine wasn't initially.
[Desire General] partizan81:
Gave this a try, didn't make a difference, still got "connection error" when attempting to sync contacts from HTC FB app.
[Desire General] popkid:
Yep, that's ticked, and I get no error message anymore on syncing, it says it has synced, but in people app, there are no facebook friends/contacts listed to link to phone contacts :(
[Desire General] SimonCraddock:
I had to delete my past work listings and just add my current one for it to work.
[Desire General] popkid:
tried that, and tried with no work data at all, still no-one listed, tried removing and re-adding facebook account on phone to no avail, friendstream now lists friends status updates and allows me to update my own status and view my own profile, but if I go into people app --> world tab thing and press facebook it says "you have no friends" (insert own joke here!) pressing refresh sends it off saying "updating" but after 30 secs or so it comes back with "connection error" if you go into settings - accounts and sync - facebook for HTC sense and click sync now in there, the contacts "updates" and gives a new time stamp,but it doesn't actually change anything.

P
[Desire General] SimonCraddock:
If you go Settings>Accounts & Synch>Facebook for HTC Sense - is 'Synch Contacts' ticked?
[Desire General] popkid:
Yes, that's where it says it is updating and gives a new timestamp for last update, but it makes no actual difference to synced data... i.e. there isn't any!

P.
[Desire General] lordjester:
I've done all the same with the same result.... :mad:
[Desire General] Knight77:
So this is an international problem :D Here in Italy me and my girlfriend, both of us with Legend, having "connection error" and she has the phone brand new so she's missing the whole contact picture - link thing... What a shame!

What about solving it HTC??
[Desire General] Norsehawk:
I haven't red enitre end of this thread, but after you remove the cache memory and datafiels, remove also the FB- and Google-account itself by go via "Settings" > "Accounts and synchronization" > "Facebook for HTC Sense" > "Remove account". Do that with Google too.

And then tell me if it still doesn't work. But please notice: You must clear ALL the cache AND datafiels BEFORE doing this!
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
You cannot remove the google account without a factory reset, Or so the phone is telling me.
[Desire General] jaztim:
done, cant delete google though. failed to resolve.
[Desire General] C_S_R:
I have exactly the same problem with my facebook contacts since i did a hard reset, bit i have another problem also with facebook, the actual app wont seem to update the news feed, when i hit refresh i gives the message "an error accoured while trying to fetch data [nul]" and it wont update :(
[Desire General] Stretlow:
I can like others confirm that the facebook contacts that are missing are because of peoples "City" in their profiles.

I had 157 of 300+ contacts showing, i've got my wife and two of my mates to add a city to their employment details and the three now sync.
[Desire General] ukscotth:
I've had my desire for two days and still can't sync my FB contacts :(
[Desire General] lordjester:
None of these Work related fixes work...!!!! What the hell is going on...??? How hard can it be to fix something like this...??? Just find out what Facebook changed on friday and either put it back the way it was or HTC should just use the code from the HTC gallery App as that gets all the contacts & ALL the pictures each time from facebook..!! Come on guys this is getting to be a joke..!! The reason more people haven't complain is they more than likely don't realise that its stopped working, as its cached all pre-fridays contacts on the phone...(My wifes Wildfire has all her contacts) but you goto refresh them and it says connection error, but at least her contacts and freadstream are still linked.. I did a factory reset on my on sat and now i've got nowt..!!!!!
[Desire General] owziee:
OMG! How long will this take for HTC to fix this??? I re-flashed the original htc rom to my device and lost all fb contacts... and now they won't sync!!!

Why don't they just release a small patch or something...??? HTC are too slow with everything, including rom updates! :(
[Desire General] lordjester:
I've got an idea...! Everybody email HTC at least once a day until this gets sorted maybe then if thousand of us do it they might get off there arses...!!!! ???
[Desire General] malarcy:
Given the software on the phones hasn't changed then it must be Facebook that has altered their end.

Maybe HTC are doing something unsupported or maybe Facebook broke a public interface, we don't know.

But wouldn't we be better lobbying Facebook?
[Desire General] samsanchez88:
I believe it's been fixed!!!!!! I just reset my phone ('cause i was having some issues with google nav) and all my facebook friends have appeared!!!
[Desire General] owziee:
Still doesn't work here. I've even deleted my facebook sense and emptied all caches... No contacts sync yet :-(
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Im still getting the connection error
[Desire General] prudkey:
I am also getting connection error..
[Desire General] antz88c:
Facebook for HTC Sense is now working on my end, after 5 days.

Location: Philippines
[Desire General] r47z:
it's working! it's working! my contacts are getting synched. I used to only get half of my contacts, now I'm getting it all :)
[Desire General] ruffruff:
mine does sync now .. but all the birthdays calendar are screwed up.

it shows up correctly if i go to people -> choose a contact -> view facebook profile.

but IT IS NOT CORRECT in calendar, nor in People -> choose a contact -> birthday

All dates are 1 day earlier than the actual date ... WTF!!!
[Desire General] jackie_jagger:
Yep I can confirm it is indeed working.. just curious how did you sync your calendar with Facebook contact birthdays?
[Desire General] jjlp:
It also works on my Legend, it stated syncing 11 pm tuesday

Location : Denmark
[Desire General] vukis:
When I go to people->online directories-> facebook i see all my FB contacts. When Go to People->ALL->MENU(BUTTON)->view it shows FACEBOOK(0) why? I ticekd sync facebook contacts in setings, but no luck. I even deleted all people/facebook for htc sense cache and even data, but no luck :(

And when i oppen contacts and want to link them with facebook it shows, that i do not have any FB contacts. But online directory shows all contacts.. :(
[Desire General] jjlp:
Have you tried to sync in setting -> account & syncronising? i belive that default HTC sense FB sync every 2 hours
[Desire General] vukis:
I customised this setting to "once a day" but i tried manual sync with no luck :(

Edit: fixed by readding FB account to android sync in settings
[Desire General] sirride:
coooooooooool!
[Desire General] NoPodi:
I think it's working again properly.
[Desire General] madd0g:
Does it work for anybody, that if a person changes his profile picture on FB, the pic on the phone also changes ? Doesnt seem to work that way with the Contact Sync ...

[edit] Aha found the problem, if you have "Sync live feed" disabled, it doesnt change the pictures ;]

[edit2] Or not. It changed a picture for 1 contact, but thats it...
[Desire General] MasterBratac:
It´s working for me now too. Since I´ve got the Phone last friday, I couldnt sync my contacts before this bug.

Now it syncs fine since this morning, but it doesn´t sync 2 of 90 contacts.

Any idea what´s this causing?
[Desire General] Bouncer5:
Just noticed its working again, it certainly wasnt working for me no less than 8hours ago thought...
[Desire General] baja_yu:
This is still not working for me. Updated to OTA 2.2 yesterday... nothing. And of course the News widget still doesn't update automatically.

FB Friends sync worked before, but buggy, out of all my friends it for some reason missed one person every time. No matter how many times I synced only this one person would still not appear in my Friends list.
[Desire General] kkarnaout:
i have the same problem every1 on this thread has said no solution for this problem im still searching if i may find one..

i cant sync my contacts

[Droid X General] Grims:
I do it constantly, most.of.my.sentances.look.like.this.
[Droid X General] x.v_:
Haha, no. Haven't had any problems here.
[Droid X General] 12yan:
haha. i.thought.i.was.the.only.one! =/

is there any other keyboard with a longer spacebar and a smaller period button/?
[Droid X General] bojangalz:
Swype son! that'll fix your problem quick. It took me a few attempts to get it right but that keyboard is amazing and it works great from portrait mode. it automatically enters a space between words when you lift your finger off the screen.
[Droid X General] gerelee:
smart keyboard pro has a much longer space bar and it's an excellent keyboard.
[Droid X General] SCtud:
Wow. Great app! Thanks! I was getting really annoyed at that period key location.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
Im still stuck with muscle memory from the iphone, and i keep missing the spacebar. But im getting better at it.
[Droid X General] rolandroland:
Use swype, then you don't need to hit the space.
[Droid X General] NeutronBomb:
I have the same problem. I was doing the same thing on my incredible before my X as well. I don't like swype though and it seems even worse on a bigger screen.
[Droid X General] Evangion:
Any keyboards that remove the useless keys beside the spacebar? I.seriously.end.up.typing.like.this.in.all.my.SMSes.
[Droid X General] GoldenCyn:
I keep missing the spacebar and end up typing five words together before i realize what i did.
[Droid X General] bwosotowsky:
I do it on occasion, but only when I am in a hurry.
[Droid X General] elkay:
I had the same problem, pretty badly. Coming from iPhone. I read this thread, and installed Smart Keyboard Pro. What a difference. I went with the HTC skin and I'm *loving* it. Like night and day. Very customizable, too. Love the gestures and the hold for alt-key.
[Droid X General] GarethD:
Swype is awesome but...

The landscap keyboard sucks, the buttons are too close together and the space button is on the right? Potrait I love though. I wish I could combine the two!
[Droid X General] suzook:
Smartkeyboard pro is awesome. No more period instead of space
[Droid X General] Hazdaz:
Yeah.I.am.typing.like.this.all the time too and it is very annoying.

I actually like the stock keyboard except for that one issue with the period key... should be a few more pixels to the right to make the spacebar bigger and it would be perfect.

The other BIG issue I have is lack of arrowkeys. WTF? You mis-type something and then have to try clicking kind of close to the mistake, but you know you never get it perfectly, so I end up deleting and retrying. PITA. Give me some arrow keys for editing purposes.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alroco20:
Ive used an android device for about 2 years now, and it just recently crapped out on me. I have a unlocked touchpro2/tilt2, and i want to flash a custom rom to it, any suggestions of which rom i should flash, and what is the easiest way to go about doing so? Ive read the flashing for noobs post, and it made no sence to me, it was all sooooo simple with android. So basically i am asking if anyone would be willing to help me with the process?? PLEASE I NEED HELP WITH THIS!!!! :confused::mad::(:eek::confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Hamsteriel:
It looks daunting, but it's actually quite easy. Just reread a few times, and after the terror racks you jump in. It's either that, stock ROM, or run XDAndroid, and be patient about the sporadic updates.

Honestly, though, HardSPL is very easy. Just do your research, and welcome to your new Rhodium!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alroco20:
thanks, ive been looking it over for a few days now. Does xdandroid require me to do all that syncing crap too?? Isnt there like a flash recovery tool like for the android devices, where i can just punch in a few commands?? Or at least a tuturial video that i can see it done?? you know how Android has Cyanogen, does WINMO have a compareable dev??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alroco20:
I do want to become more familiar with winmo, what are the best roms avaliable?? Im only using a tilt2/touchpro2, so please take the system specs into consideration. Also i love how easy it is to navigate with android, is there a winmo rom that is as user friendly??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alroco20:
looking over the instructions now about to sync and flash, but when do i flash the radio??? i need help with this!!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sumflipnol:
I'm sure this pictorial tutorial will help you. Let it open your mind as it opened mine. Then, you shall be awakened into custom ROMs land.:p:D

P.S. You don't have to flash a radio -- it's just recommended if you have horrible signal and/or battery life.

P.S.S. Remember to back up everything on your phone before you flash! Use MyPhone or PIM Backup (for e-mails, SMS, phone numbers).

P.S.S.S (How many "s's" can you have?:p) You need to flash HardSPL before flashing anything else. HardSPL is covered in the pictorial I linked.

This is the best flashing process

: Task 29 (basically, it flashes a blank ROM) > [flash radio] > flash ROM > [let the ROM finish loading up -- so you are on the Today Screen] > Hard Reset (Press/hold Power + Talk/Send + End at the same time).

P.S.S.S.S :rolleyes: Have fun!:)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alroco20:
THank you, did my first flashing last nite, and all went well. You guys at this site rock. Keep up all the good work and help!!!
[Vibrant General] theMODEL22:
to an extent i'm sure,

I was folding laundry and my 18 month old daughter grabbed my vibrant and wandered into the bathroom. albiet i should have been paying closer attention but needless to say i walked by the bathroom, looked to the right and there she was dunking it in and out of toilet. I freaked! but the phone is just fine everything works like normal and the water damage indicator is still white so i'm assuming it's somewhat waterproof!!!

also i now have a phone for sale - it's the ****
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I would never make the claim of something being waterproof... Very water resistant, however. I'm glad for your Vibrant :)
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
LOL... glad everything worked out man. Did you end up using rice or anything?

[Vibrant General] zoid_99:

[Vibrant General] s15274n:

[Vibrant General] hockeyrcks9901:
If the indicators didn't change colors then I'd return it to be safe and get another.

[Vibrant General] MikeDo:
i dropped my vibrant from my ear on to a hard floor with no dings or scratches. i think its drop proof too
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
I lost my G1 due to a sodium hydroxide bath. So the first thing I did when I got my Vibrant was to take the back covers off. The mating surfaces may be tighter, I did not observe any sealing surfaces. The insides appear to be more closed than my old G1, especially against splashing.

I'm still worried about walking out of the freezers at work into rooms with saturated humidity. Hopefully a vendor will make a silicone slip on cover that can withstand the industrial abuse I give my phones.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elusivebyte:
Is it possible to change the display gamma? The screen seems a bit light. What I mean is, black is black and white is white, but the midtones are a little on the bright side.

Please don't tell me to turn the brightness down. That's not the problem. :p

I have no idea if a setting like this lives anywhere on the system. I am rooted if that matters.

Update: Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe the screen is perfect and my old G1 which I'm used to is dark. I just took a screenshot with ShootMe and loaded it on my PC and displayed it on my monitor. Then I compared it to the phone. it is almost exactly identical! I guess the G1 screen is a little blue-ish and a little dark in the midtones. I just got used to it. The wallpaper I had chosen for my G1 looks better on it than on my EVO. It looks bluer and more saturated.

Here's the pic if you're curious. To me the background looks too washed out. But I guess that's just how the original picture was supposed to look.
