Help Facebook sync is getting on my nerves!

Here is one option I've found......Note this will only sync Facebook pictures....you will not receive status updates for your contacts.....better than nothing though while HTC (hopefully) resolve the issue.

^ Thanks for the tip.

But with all the FB hacking going on recently, I'm reluctant to give away my info....

It seems like an ok program, the problem is its not enough. The reason for wanting to link my contacts to their facebook equivelences, but not take put all facebook entries on phone is because I want more than their picture, I want to see their indivudal updates and so on.

Just got an email today:





Next time I should ask why I can't use "Facebook for android", even though it's in "Accounts and Sync"


Oh, and for the record, I sent this email Friday.

I got almost the exact same email today:

Hi, I'm Victor, and I will be glad to assist you today. When you sign into Facebook for HTC Sense it will automatically download all your Facebook friends and add them to your contacts on your device. There is no way to choose which ones show up or do not show up on your device. At this time we have no information on any updates that will be released to add the feature where you can select, which Facebook friends show up on your contact list. If you have any other questions feel free to reply. You may also enjoy HTC Community - Join the HTC Mobile Phone Community Online, our customer-based forum, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices. I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey. I hope you have a great day!

Unacceptable...

This may be a silly question, at least I'm beginning to think it is.... is there a way to NOT have the contact name be the name from the facebook acct? For instance, I have a few friends that I use nicknames for, and have entered them under such in my contact list. Now however, their full name appears for their contact info and as ridiculous as it sounds, I've been so programed over the last 10+ years using the nickname that I'm having issues using the name that the facebook sync provides!

I'm thinking there's no way around this but I thought I'd at least ask.

*edit*
if you unsync FB on the contact, and just have the phone# in your book, it redirects the contact name to whatever you had originally typed it under. the resync that contact with their FB and voila! the name that i originally typed that contact info under stays popped up instead of the actual FB name.

i hope this helps someone lol

*another edit
dont turn off your phone, it'll reset some of your contacts back to the facebook profile name at random...
