Hey there.
I just started using my LG 2x and I am already finding myself somewhat struggling with some of the ways it is (a matter of getting used to it i figure ). But can someone tell me how I can manually link up my phone contacts with my facebook contacts?.
Because some of the contacts I have do not link up by themselves >_<
Hopefully someone can help
My contacts aren't linked with facebook either. I synced with Outlook but it's no facebook linked.
Weird... With Samsung and HTC that goes automatically.
Edit: Maybe you have to be logged in on Facebook for LG-app and not the official facebook app on Android Market?
just give it a little time, i had the same problem, but after a day a so everybody was in!
Open contact -> Menu -> Edit Contact -> Menu -> Merge

you have to set it up to show all your facebook contacts and wait for them to load.
then open a contact, pres menu, select edit contact, pres menu, select merge, find the facebook profile you want to link to you may have to pres show all.
When you are all done hide your facebook contacts from the list

I'm doing just like this, but I get this message: The selected contact can not be added
I'm using the official facebook app, not facebook for LG. Has that anything to do with it?

Are you selecting the contact from the phone and links to the facebook contact, or vice versa?
You gotta do it from the contacts list and not from Facebook.

That's what I did, but I still get this error: The selected contact can not be added
I used the stock Facebook for LG app, and it worked like a charm
Can you also change the contact image as well ?. I mean because some of the people I talk to on Facebook use stupid images and I want to replace them with another image. Can you do that as well ?
I can't get it to work now either... I've done just like you guys said and I just keep getting the same message again and again.

Are you logged in to facebook for LG also? Or only the official facebook app from Market?
Works very fine

And what did you do? Do you use the facebook for LG-app or the official facebook app from Android Market?
Edit: I've got it work! I dropped the contacts from LG PC Suite and imported all my contacts to Gmail, then it worked.
So suddenly my contacts that are joined with my facebook friends aren't sharing the pics. Used to be that whenever I would get Call or a text the contacts name would show up with their facebook picture. Now all of a sudden it just shows an android pix. Although the facebook pix will show up in the contacts page. Anyone have any ideas? Im using com rom 2.1 and this high voltage reenergized.
Here is what I do. I use the Max os x address book and sync it to my Google account, and there is an app that sybcs Facebook info with address book. So I sync Facebook and address book, then address book with Google, the Google with the phone. Haha.

There is no option to link photos in the app. Does it do it automatically? Been a few hours since installed and nothing has changed.
Here's a question to all: is this linked account done via the Facebook app or SNS? I noticed personally that pictures would only show up with SNS configured.
How do you set defaults? Been looking around on phone and can't find anything. Also, I sync using facebook so everything isn't doubled up. Is that why the pics aren't linking?
I have the same issue

You can tell the Facebook app to not sync contacts, and tell SNS to sync contacts, and you won't double up. That's been my experience on CR2.1.
Running ComRom 2.1 and have had same problem. SyncMyPix didn't work for me, but I did find a workaround.
I downloaded and installed 'Phonebook' from Market. It is a contact replacement app. I logged into Facebook through the app and it matched my existing contacts and it automatically downloaded their Facebook pictures and replaced all the Contact pictures.
Now when I go back into 'Contacts' all the latest Facebook profile pictures are with the contacts. And the photos also appear for incoming calls and text messages.
Hope that helps.
You gotta go into facebook settings. And then select, "Sync existing contacts with facebook contacts". The names have to be exactly the same as well or else it won't sync automatically. Otherwise you'd just have to link it manually.
is there a way to link contacts in cm7?
Go into market and search "syncmypix"
It takes all the pictures for contacts you have and uploads them to Google contacts

1) Go into your Google contact
2) Select menu -> edit
3) Menu -> join
4) Profit

You are 100% correct. I disable the facebook app from syncing. Then I re-created the SNS facebook sync, and joined my contacts again. Everything shows up.

LOL mine is the opposite....I have SNS off and fbook app does it.
Somehow, I am not able to get to the screen where you choose to sync your facebook contacts like when you first get that after installing a rom/wiping data.
I can not add a facebook account through accounts and sync. Deleting all facebook data doesn't help it. Please help!
if you open the fb app and go into settings, there's an option to sync contacts

If you can't add an account, it might be because you used Froyo's method of app2sd. Move the app back to the "internal" memory and see if you can add an account back (you may need to reboot for it to show up in the account selection section).

There is no such option in my FB App either.
Is there a solution for re-syncing the contacts?

If that isn't the case, you may not have enough freespace on the device to store any info...
That weird, for me when I go into settings and scroll down I have this.
but just follow bassmadrigal instructions above.

That was just the setting I didn't have. Don't worry anymore, though, I solved it by using an external application. Furthermore, I would just like to say I do not run ICS any longer. I currently run samuaz CM7 ROM and will continue using it until all the major bug and stability issues with the current ICS builds are ironed out.
ICS really is a great ROM and it's gonna be a tough choice between choosing an AOSP ICS build or a cyanogenmod AOSP ICS build. I really "dig" cyanogenmod so that's probably what I'll look forward to.

I didn't use app2sd or something like that. So I think the app is in the internal memory.
And my phone is just 3 days old so it should have enough space.

If just some aren't working, then overall, your app is working, it just isn't always able to find the right person to sync it with. Just find that facebook contact, then click on their picture to get the little popup with email and their contact card. Click on the contact card and select edit contact, then use the menu button and click on join. Find the contact in your normal contact and select that person. This will join the contacts.

Sorry I didn't made it clear: There are some Fb contacts missing, not the link between my contacts and Fb.
So it isn't possible for me to link them, because they don't exist
Is this with the stock facebook app? Because I know if you use third-party ones like Friendcaster, if they blocked the app, they won't show up. If it is the stock app, I really don't know. I haven't seen that issue at all.
something wich manages high resolution photos?
i used syncmypix on old phones, wich seems stopped to be supported on october 2012, and i don't know wich resolution syncs..
i have read of haxsync, but seems it has to be always active... isn't there something wich syncs with gmail, then you can delete it?
i couldn't see, but doesn't xperia z dialer support big picture ? do i need to use full screen caller or hd caller (whatever the name is, i bought it some time ago)
The starred in Android contacts on my Gmail account syncs in HD all the others in SD.... WEIRD!!!! They have to fix it ASAP!

doesn't it sync "on the fly"? meaning, the sync remains if i delete haxsync? i've read it drains quite a bit of battery... and do pics appear large in dialer?
use this app called UberSync Facebook contact sync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
It allows you to sync the recent profile picture from your friend's profile and you can change the size of the picture to small, medium,large. My Arc S shows full screen when I get a call from my friends :thumbup: just set the photo size to large. Also the app can be set to auto sync or you can manually sync. No worries about battery drain!
Press thanks if I helped

I am using the Sync.ME application from Google Play Store. It's kinda awesome. It is able to find some pictures from social networks like fb even to a contacts that haven't shared friends details with me

i'm trying this for know, do you know if there will be a notification at the end? cause i started sync, but didn't show me any status bar o countdown or percentage, it just said "sync started", how can i now if it will finish?
@alfiabaram, i'm going to try that too thanks
Oops! I forgot to mention this - you need to rename the contact to their Facebook name (be very specific about the first & last name) then it will fetch their assign their picture to the contact. Use ' run manual scan' option. There's no notification after the scan is finished >.<

ok i've tried with it, but it isn't so "ergonomic", no notifies, no info,and i couldn't make manual links to facebook profile.... and when i tried to delete it, i've lost all my pix
would like to try sync.me but yesterday developers put it out of the market cause it has to be rewritten (or similar)
now i've tried facebook contact picture sync by sbla games
it has anything i need seems, it has manual link (you can save and load links) for people with different names
it syncs then you can delete the app, it takes big photos,and is quite fast (you can "assist the process) so i think for anyone who doesn't need repeated syncs (don't know if it handles it, didn't search)
btw thanks for your help
it seems quite good
Go to Gmail Contacts and put HD pictures to your contacts, then put the contacts you use the most to the favourites (starred in Android) let it sync with Google and finally clear the cache and data from your "contacts" app, then sync again with google your contacts again and the starred contacts will sync in HD!

Just did this and everything worked out Thanks ... though there should be a fix from Google ... silly Google.
Guys, in 4.2.2 update they fixed it, now all the contacts are synced in HD, you have to open each contact once though to force it to download the full picture.
Sync.me
Is anyone else having issues with Sync.me sending out spam to contacts when syncing?
Ubersync for FB doesn't work anymore, anyone know of another app to sync FB contact pics?
Do you guys know how to edit contacts on lollipop, I've tried everything, but still don't find a way how to do that, i was wondering if it's me, or it just not implemented on the new Android 5.x?

Open contacts, click on the contact you wish to edit, click on the pencil shaped icon on top right of screen. Complete the editing then click on the back arrow on top left of screen.

Thanks for the answer mate, but seems like there's not that option, is some screenshots.
Are you editing a Google contact or a contact from a third party source? A Google contact should give you the option to edit. See the photo I've attached. You can't edit a non Google contact from within the contacts app. You would have to go to the original source that contact was synced from, in order to edit that contact.
It is actually easier to go to Google contacts on the web via your PC if you have a lot of edits to do any want to add a lot of pictures that don't exist on your phone.

Then if you're really feeling sporty you can run them through a free program like http://www.scrubly.com/

Im not using any third party source contact app, and by the way im on stock ROM 5.1, and i don't sync my contact with the google server, cause when ever i reset my phone, all my contacts pictures blurry, so i used contact backup ultimate to restore them.
Edit: Looks like i can edit my own contacts, but not the other people's contacts.
If you use high resolution pictures in web contacts they should stay high resolution. I have had a few go to low resolution but I don't know what causes it I have it all my contacts synced

That's what I meant by 3rd party contacts. Contacts you've created elsewhere other than gmail or within the contacts app. Specifically, contacts created with other email accounts.
