How to fix the Facebook & FriendStream issues on the HTC Desire

So you've bought your HTC Desire... It's great isn't it!

But then you realise things aren't working as expected - well... mainly Facebook related.

Here are the problems:

• FriendStream not automatically or manually updating
• Facebook-linked contact's photos not updating after being changed

Here's how to fix them:

Note: Nothing is lost during this process. All the contact pictures are replaced automatically.

1. Settings > Accounts & sync > Facebook for HTC Sense
2. Tap Remove account
3. Tap Add account
4. Tap Facebook for HTC Sense
5. Enter your Email and Password, then tap Sign In
6. Wait about 10 minutes

(Contact images started appearing after 2 minutes*)

(All pictures fully replaced and updated after 10 minutes*)

*Over a WiFi connection (~3mbps)

FriendStream on my device has been fine since *touch wood*.

However this is only a temporary fix for the non-updating contact pictures. Hopefully when FroYo is released, this issue will be fixed.
