Hi,
I like the way my HDH link my contacts with FB. But, some of my contacts dont have FB, but do have Linkedin. So, here my obvious question: Is it possible to also link my contacts to Linkedin? Or perhaps other social media?
There is no officiel linkedin app yet.
You can try this one, it is supposed to do what you want.

hi everyone. i am fully aware that there is a fb app that comes with this phone. but in my opinion, it sucks. when i click a notification, it goes into browser. uh. thanks. if i wanted to use the browser, why am i on this app?! (sorry just ranting)
anyway i was wondering if anyone is using a better fb app? maybe one that is not facebook touch (i dl that one and it is so so too)
thanks!
Http://touch.facebook.com works well.
While on the subject of facebook apps, why does this phone have 2? It has Facebook and Facebook for Sense.
Hi all..
I have been searching for a contact app and a calendar witch will sync with google and Facebook.. but without luck :-\
So my question is, can any1 upload and share the std from HTC? I like it and would like to use it, if it's possible? Atleast just the contact app ;-)
Thx :-D

First of all..
This is the wrong section in which to ask questions..
Do that in general..
Second..
You can only use the HTC apps in stock HTC Roms..
So you need to be more precise in what rom you are planning to use these applications.
LauncherProPlus (LPP) has clones of the HTC contacts, facebook, twitter, calendar, friendstream widgets...
Oh sorry.. i use the nightly builds ;-)
Will try launcherproplus then ;-)

IF you are refering to the actual contact list, it is possible to sync with FB. Just download the official FB app, log in and activate sync in settings. This syncs pictures and some info.

I don't quite understand what you need exactly. I'm also using a nightly build (43) and my contacts and calendar are synced with my Google account. I didn't check with Facebook cause I don't have such account (and hope not need to have one ever) but with Google works fine. I'm not using any extra applications just the ones provided with the build. I have installed Dialer One and a calendar widget but that's nothing to do with the synchronization itself. That is done through Settings - Accounts & Sync
I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V
I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.
Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

Not sure what ICS did, but my contact photos are a no-show on GoSms. The photos aren't actually save to the phone, they are pulled from each contact's facebook acount via facebook sync. It will show contact photos from contacts that have photos saved on the phone, but not for the contacts that rely on the facebook images. No issues in the actual people app, or the stock messager, just on GoSMS. Anyone else having issues? Possible fix? I tried uninstalling and re-installing it, no dice.
Handcent too. Havent figured out why and can't suggest anything at this point cause nothing I've tried has worked
Edit: Guess it's just not showing facebook contact photos. Google contact photos are showing up. Stock messaging shows all pics though...hmm. still looking..
Ha. Handcent just "Updated" and now I don't get Google contact pics either, only phone pics now..
Yeah it seems to be an issued with the sense 3.6s contacts data base and third party apps.

Help! Same Issue!
I did a software update and my photos under my phonebook are updated from facebook but my handcent sms photos are not showing up at all anymore. I tried downloading GoSMS and the same error. Anyone have a solution to this? I miss seeing the pictures when I text people!
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's mostly is for AOSP or CM9 builds, but it works for Sense.
Cool. I'm actually four the problem. On Gingerbread, the vivid had its own unique facebook app, "facebook for htc sense ", but on ics, it useful the standard facebook app, and apparently the Facebook app doesn't let 3rd party apps have access to contacts. Why? Because Zuckerberg sucks probably. But anyway I fired the issue by deleting my accounts info on the Facebook app and installing friendcaster pro. I have friendcaster are so it was no big deal. The drawback is I can no longer use my cool friendstream widget.

What are those? I don't know what either of those are, do you mind explaining to me how those would fix my issue with handcent contact pictures not showing up?

Friendcaster has the ability to take photos from your Facebook and put them on your phone. I think that is what he was trying to say.

So the friendcaster is just an alternate to facebook. The issue I am having is that the facebook pictures show up in the phonebook but in handcent sms since I've updated they don't show at all . I was wondering if there was a way to fix THAT issue Thanks in advance
Yes using friendcaster instead will fix that issue. For me same issue, facebook pictures show in phonebook, not in gosms. Delete your Facebook account information and install friendcaster, log in and after sense links all your contacts you'll be good

Confirmed. Facebook's app has always been a steamy PoS
It is crap. I had the paid version of friendcaster already from using cyanogenmod on my captivate. The facebook app wouldn't sync photos at all on it and even my phonebook had no photos so from googleing i found friendcaster fixes the problem. The free version gets the job done but the paid version removes ads so I went ahead and paid for it.

I was having this problem even with HTC's contact widget. I wiped my facebook app data, then used titanium backup to uninstall the app. I reinstalled the app via google play and synced all contacts and the problem was fixed.

I can confirm that having both Facebook and Friendcaster accounts didn't show contact pictures, but removing the Facebook account entirely fixed the issue in a minute or two. Thanks for the advice!
Has anyone tried HaxSync? I use it but I don't use GoSMS.

I have confirmed that that using friend caster does work to get the contact pics on go sms. Thanks for making this thread. U can get the paid verision of friend caster on 4shared for free. But this is awesome lol.

That was brilliant!! I took off the Facebook account, kept Friendcaster and boom! My contact pictures are back in GoSMS... Thank you so much for the help and a great thread!!
I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.
