Two people raised this as a bug, and I thank them for it, as it's much easier to track (see MB#11468 and MB#11476). This is now fixed in v0.8.7 which should be going through to Extras-devel shortly.

I'm still waiting for someone suffering from the "birthdays not coming from Facebook" to attach a 0.8.6 (or 0.8.7) log to MB#11103 (how to create a log).

[LIST=1][*]Set the contacts in Surname, Firstname order.[*]Launch Hermes.[*]Press Refresh.[*]You'll get contacts imported (after verification, if not already verified to Facebook).[*]Hermes creates new contacts, that are in Firstname Surname order and as new contacts, instead of assigned Surname, Firstname to already existing contacts.

This last point is not captured on the issue, though! MB#10721 is about the display of contacts. There is nothing in there about there being an issue with matching friends.

FWIW, your "steps to reproduce" are incomplete. Can you confirm the following would do it:

Steps to reproduce
Sign-in to Facebook and make friends with Joe Bloggs

Open Contacts

Select Settings > Display Names > Last name, First name

Create a new contact:
First name: Joe

Last name: Bloggs

Mobile: +123456789

Open Hermes

Tick Accounts > Facebook > Create birthday only contacts

Click Retrieve

Open Contacts

Expected outcome
"Bloggs, Joe" contact has an avatar, a birthday and a link to Facebook.

Actual outcome
A new "Joe Bloggs" (one name) contact has been created, with first name (???) and last name (???); a birthday and a Facebook link. "Bloggs, Joe" is untouched.

If so, could you create an issue for that? If that isn't what you mean, please could you explain in more detail :-)

And as a sidenote, Hermes also automatically imports avatars from Facebook-users to the already existing and the new ones, without asking.

That's the point of the Refresh option.

Thanks for the help though. I've already reported a bug to the Bugzilla regarding the birthday, see bug #11103.

More information now required with the latest versions regarding the full log.

Sometimes, it just halts, looks like its going to die but ends up working. Sometimes, it gets stuck and stays there my battery dies.

Please raise a bug, attaching a log as described above.

OTTOMH, the byte sequences (presumably UTF-8) reported by osso-abook; the normalised version from within the code (though this should be reverse engineerable) and the JSON/XML coming back over the wire from Facebook.

It would be easiest if you could create a new "person" on Facebook who I can befriend with the detail of how to enter the same person in Contacts.
