Help Facebook for HTC Sense problem.

[peacefereva]

Hi, I have an issue here.

I tried sync-ing my contact book for my facebook contact updates but it showed no updates even after a few days, but my contacts do have updates on actual facebook.
So I thought I'd try to delete off my account from Accounts&Sync and re-add my account again after a few minutes.

After re-adding the account, my friend stream works fine, sync-ed as per normal but when I click on my contacts book/people and tried to link my contacts to their facebook, it showed a blank list and words in the middle showing "No matches found", in other words, I don't have friends?

I waited for a hours and tried to re-add and sync again but still can't link my contacts to their facebook because it doesn't show up any facebook link for me to link to my contacts no matter how I try.

I resetted my phone back to factory defaults and tried again but it's still the same.

Any help here? :/

There are a lot of people (including some on this forum) having that problem at the moment so far there is no fix that i know off.

Oh. :/ This is bad.
Few days ago, it was still fine but now it's like that. :/

Hopefully there is a fix to this soon.

I did this yesterday and it downloaded profiles, pictures and contact details for all 1508 facebook friends! Filled the remaining 57mb internal storage and caused the Android OS to stop working. Managed to delete a couple of apps between the constant Force Close messages to free up some space, then removed the data from Contacts application.

This is a real shame because the contacts in People were linked with Facebook after signing in to the Facebook directory, and I really liked it.

Guess I won't be using the feature again until the FB app allows selective sync of facebook friends, or a friend list.

Thank heavens for Android 2.2 and apps to SD

Me too, I live in South Africa and I'm not even sure who I have to wait for, I think I have to wait for the HTC suppliers Leaf Wireless and then still my network Vodacom

I'm seriously contemplating rooting though...
