    Default Issue with Facebook directory / Facebook for HTC Sense


    Short version:
    My HTC Desire's Facebook directory lists 205 friends for my Facebook, while in reality I have 207 (and Facebook for Android app of course shows them all, too)

    I'm not quite sure why or how 2 of them have gone missing, but I think one went when I messed a bit up, merged 2 contacts on my phone and started removing information from that contact, so it in the end had only 1 number and 1 facebook friend linked to it. Ever since I haven't been able to see the friend whose contact/link I removed in Facebook directory.

    I've tried uninstalling Facebook for Android to access Facebook for HTC Sense, but apparently it can't be completely uninstalled - only the update(s) for it, and the cache/data can be uninstalled for what I can tell.

    So I've uninstalled it's updates, I've cleared it data/cache - and I've cleared all the cache/data from Facebook for HTC Sense too.
    I've removed my phone-linked Facebook account, too, with no luck.

    No matter how many times I try re-syncing or refreshing, the 2 contacts are still missing.
    One new contact that I added as my friend today appeared normally, though.

    Any ideas how to fix this? It's annoying when I can't link 1 contact to her Facebook, when I have pretty much everyone else linked to theirs.

    I am a simpleton.. do they happen to be Facebook "pages" instead of "friends"? I know sometimes that throws me off too on the FB webpage counts...

    At least one of the missing ones is definately friend, and I'm quite sure the other one is friend too, not page, just haven't bothered yet to browse both names through on my comp to check who's the other one missing
    edit:
    To make clear, one of the missing ones was there earlier, but I somehow managed to delete/lose it by accident on the phone, but not from my actual Facebook account

    Cool Re: Issue with Facebook directory / Facebook for HTC Sense


    FINALLY I KNEW HOW TO SOLVE THIS...
    Actually WE knew it, me and my wife went crazy because suddenly out of no where she is no longer appearing in my HTC Desire (facebook for HTC sense) contacts!

    I did everything you can think of even complete RESET for my phone!
    But REJOICE Android HTC users, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT.... or better say, it is NOT HTC's fault, it is because of the Privacy Settings of that friend in his/her facebook account.

    He/She has activated the (Turn Off All Platform Apps) under Privacy Settings -> Apps and Websites -> Apps You Use !!!

    Once the user changes their settings and you Sync, they will appear back again, but you have to re-link them.
