People (Contact List) and Facebook Issue

[PhantomPhreak53]

So since I did the OTA update I noticed that my pictures aren't updating anymore in People (Contact List) from Facebook. When I click on a contact and then click linked icon at the top. It takes me to the normal linked contact page. It shows the facebook page as being linked but then I have com.facebook.auth.login about 8 times under the normal facebook link. I checked and it is like that for every contact that I have facebook linked to.

I tried logging in and out of FriendStream, Facebook App, Facebook mobile and the regular Facebook. I also tried rebooting my phone and I get the same thing.

Any ideas what these are and how I get it so my contacts pictures update again?

I'm having this same problem, it's annoying as all get out. +1 for a solution.

have you set up the new facebook app to sync contacts? Try turning that off.

It is weird because I actually just uninstalled the new update but it still shows both in the accounts and syncs. I just rebooted my phone and it's still there. I am going to reinstall it and then try turning it off the sync for it.

I also noticed that when I unlinked everything and then I try to link it back, not everyone from my Facebook is available to actually link to.

I had the same issue with the eight extra links.

Unfortunately, you have to separate things a little bit...

Try using the Facebook for HTC Sense app/account as your "contact syncing" app only. Just set up the account to sync your contacts, but use it for nothing else.

Then, use the regular Facebook app from the market for all other functions. Make sure all the syncing is off for this app, since your Sense account will already be taking care of this.

This should give you a cleaner looking list of contacts, and their corresponding links.

Hopefully they will figure this bug out...

Yeah I just unchecked the Facebook and left the Facebook for HTC Sense and it seemed to have gotten rid of all the extra links. I actually completely removed it after I saw it got rid of that. Hopefully it updates the pictures now.

ok i did this, and then I have to manually remove the extra links from the previous "Facebook"?

I didn't. All those disappeared when I removed the Facebook account sync. I did reboot my phone after I removed it though.

reboot didnt help. grumble.

the pictures updated too! Sweet! Here are my exact steps I took.

1. Uninstalled Facebook from the market. (It said uninstall facebook update)
2. I went to accounts and sync and removed Facebook. (I left Facebook for HTC Sense alone)
3. Rebooted my phone.
4. Reinstalled Facebook from the Market

It got rid of all the extra com.facebook.auth.login entries for all the users. It now also updates the pictures like it is supposed to.
