Contack and calandar apps..

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

[Q] Facebook sync without sense

I am using Liberated just because of the nice facebook syncing with contacts of the sense (I mean, birthdays - profile pics - statuses etc.). I wanna use CM, but couldn't figure out how can I do same thing in CM. You guys, what are you doing for that? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
P.S: I have tried few 3rd party battery-draining app (which I cant remember the name atm). Is there any real good app to do that like sense does?

Please elaborate on the "birthdays, profile pics, statuses, etc" part...I haven't used sense since day 3 of having my aria so I can't really remember anything about it.
As far as profile pics go, phone numbers, emails, etc...you CAN sync that on CM --
1. settings > accounts & sync > facebook
2. facebook settings > sync contacts > sync all

One thing I would like to point out is that you have to do those steps in the reverse order. aosp won't let you even add facebook as a sync account until you choose to sync contacts via the facebook app.

Thanks I wasn't putting them in any sort of order, but I guess with the numbers it would seem that way...

Thanks. Didnt know native client has sync option :O So does it sync friend's birthdays with your calendar? And about statuses; sense dialer shows your friend's last status messages below their names but I guess it's not possible on native dialer. well its not so important.

Im not sure about the birthdays, but it does sync their status updates to their contact on the phone. If you click their picture it pops up with other options.

You can download a program called ebobirthday it can sync your Facebook birthdays to your calender.

How to stop Facebook photo sync

Apart from the obvious of not installing facebook in the first place. I have tried everything from changing the picture in contacts to clearing data in the app! I think its sense Facebook sync issue tbh, surely I'm not the only one?

Sorry just realised wrong section, @ least it'd not in development
Sent from my HTC Velocity 4G using Tapatalk 2

Are you using the facebook camera? On the stock camera there is also an "upload" feature under settings, might want to check if that's the problem..

Yeah there is no way to stop the photo sync. If you so much as log in it'll replace all your pictures with Facebook photos and if your using third party messengers then you won't get pictures at all. Your best bet is to use friendcaster instead
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA

Actually you can if it has not replaced your photos with facebook photos right after you sign on to facebook for the first time go to menu settings accounts and sync then go to the facebook account and uncheck all the sync boxs and it wont replace your photos also it will not put status updates next to the contacts you should be able to delete your facebook account under accounts and sync and start over with the above options I am talking about the phone menu not facebook

Thanks guys I was an old user of friendcaster premium so in the end I just got rid of book and reverted back to this. It has come a long way in the 6 months since I last used it. After my next rom update I will have a go @ the method in jerry's post. Thanks again for the help and input

Facebook contacts not showing..

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??
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

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.

back up to google is on... could that be the cause of this problem? A quick check in xda shows that I am not the only one.

could be, but not sure, you can turn it off and test it just in case.

Same exact problem for me. Can you please share your ROM configuration. I am on Crash ROM v7

think you need to check your google contacts and remove duplicates there.

Thats a good idea, you can merge contacts via comp browser. Or remove them there if they are there. Then possibly switch of after duplicates on phone are removed contacts sync.
Could be the culprit. Best to check where the duplicates are stored before trying by opening duplicate and checking which account it is saved under.

Gents, i really do think this is a bug. I too have the issue only with my work exchange account. The issue wasnt there before the latest German rom LRK. I have tried removing the account and recreating it but it happens again......
Can you others with this issue please post the rom version.
Also please dont suggest merging contacts as that isnt a fix to this issue

Ok, was just eliminating possibilities

Hey guys!
Don't know if that is possible on any ROM but for me (when I still was on a "normal" ICS ROM.. currently I'm on MIUI searching for a good ICS ROM) it worked out kinda like that... (On MIUI thats not possible...)
I don't remember very well how the option was named but if you go to your contacts and press menu one of the options on the bottom brings you to a list where you can choose from which source you want your contacts be taken from... Like SDCard, SIMCard, Google Account, Facebook, etc... just choose one source where you know every contact you need is saved and there you go.. You don't have any duplicated contacts anymore...
But maybe I'm remembering wrong and it was on the stock GB ROM from Samsung... Sorry guys it passed some time since my MIUI flash so I can't remember very well... But hope it helped somehow...

Guys the problem is only with exchange office 365 account, a corporate one in my case. I don't even have google contacts syncing. Everything in Outlook is great just one item on calendar, and just one contact.
The duplicates are only on the Note. I am on Crash ROM v7 4.0.4.
Maybe 4.0.4 ics is the problem...

Not necessarily. I have an on premise Exchange 2010 at work, not O365 and I have the issue.

Are you on 4.0.4?

maybe previously retained items are maintained, In that case switch off sync, make backup of outlook items, so incase anything goes wrong you can reimport if 365 has that opportunity.
Then set sync one way to phone on phone, and delete all contacts and calender items on phone. This could be done automaticslly not sure, when delting sync acount in accounts. Maybe from there you can delete data to, Then setup synch again, check if its push and if thats not supported there are any options regarding full synch on every synch. Also switch off option to allow duplicates to be created if its there.
This could work, try it and report back
