Facebook takes over Me Tile?

[ii583]

It's not hijacking if the comments are still on topic with the OP, so no worries. To remove the MS account from Facebook, you need to log into outlook, formerly live, go to permissions, manage accounts and remove Facebook from there, then uninstall Facebook from the phone, re-add Facebook to your MS account if you so choose, and then re-add Facebook to the phone without setting it up on your MS account.....whew....that was a mouthful and I hope clear as mud.
Ellen, my wife, leads the charge but I get to do all the posting , happy wife.....happy life.

So you use an individual FB “app”?
How if I connect my FB with MS account through “people hub” instead of an individual FB app……

I found it is impossible to disconnect my FB from my MS account.
Since every time I delete my FB account in “people hub” then added back, they will connect automatically.

I have the problem of my Me Tile photo being overrode by my FB profile picture, too!

I use the FB Beta. It still needs A LOT of updates, but notifications started to work ON TIME. (I guess also the official FB app now has working notifications). But the point, I dont need to pin "me" tile because I pin FB app that shows me everything coming in.

it doesn't effect on me , cause my microsoft and facebook , both profile pics are same. :smile:

 

[alvinsfb]

this is happening after the GDR2 update
before that (GDR1) it's normal like usual (we can change our hotmail picture and display it on Me tile)

Hope Microsoft will fix this
at least let us pick which one of pictures that showed on Me tile

Well, it's unfortunate that that's the way it works. Our situation is that we have a shared Facebook account and our own individual Lumias. The Me Tile should be ME, not a silly Facebook pic.

I wish we could set any picture we want for the ME tile (or other contacts). That said, if you have a shared Facebook account isn't it really more of an "US" tile?

Hmm, NM. Just double checked. I seem to have the same problem, although, I do know it wasn't this way previously, with my L920.

Yes, the official Facebook app

Go to outlook, permission, manage accounts, and delete Facebook

Sucks, doesn't it? I can't stand this design decision

Absolutely! It never should have changed in the first place. Thanks for the confirmation between GDR1 and GDR2.

, no, we each have our own individual phones. As far as the Facebook account goes, my wife tells me we share it but I'm never on it

This is starting to look more and more like a design decision, and a poor one at that in our opinion.

Thats is how MS decided to help us. They choose what image to show for contacts. I also do not like when contacts photo updated to facebook one instead of my hotmail pictures. Why the hell MS decided that they can change picture of contact for us??? This is really annoying

It could be worse, on Android devices, the Google+ picture supercedes all. So despite the fact that no one uses Google+ and even fewer update it, you'll end up with a Google plus picture or worse yet, G+ placeholder in place of FB pictures.
