I am running CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 and trying to use facebook sync to sync up contact pics with the contacts in my phone. but only some of the contacts are not syncing up.
I have names set as first name then last name and facebook will connect them to the correct persons facebook but will not download that persons profile picture to set as caller ID pic. (but couple random names have synced up and the pics show up)
what could I be doing wrong? or whats the error?
Did you try to manually join them then use their facebook picture as the profile picture?
cant manually join them when they are automatically joined. but yes i tried unjoining then rejoining them.
fix that seems to work right now is to log out of facebook app and log back in. seems to be working so far.

Is your N1 syncing your contact's profile photo with their facebook profile?
Mine don't sync. I have to go to edit contact and do it.
N1 does recognize and pair the contacts with facebook profiles..just doesn't sync pictures.
strange!!! I have no problems with this... sync merges Google contacts & Facebook contacts along with the Facebook profile pics... unless there is a Google contact pic...
I have it syncing on some, but not all.
I have found the ones with problems either
A) Don't have a complete name in my phonebook
B) Have a different number in facebook.
Hmm.. quite wierd.
I am seeing a trend...
I was using HTC Sense 2.5 on WM. And all the contact whose photos were synced with facebook by sense 2.5, do not sync with facebook in android. And for some reason, gmail contacts (web, browser version) shows these pictures in contacts, but android does not.
I just deleted a contact's photo in gmail..and android instantly synced it with facebook.
im having this problem tooo! just noticed it today. i cant figure out why it wont sync tho!!....

I find that Facebook only syncs people with first & last name on your contacts list. It doesn't sync only first names. I wish there was a way around that.
That is annoying, even my old blackberry would sync to partial names, and that thing is primitive in comparison.
Noticed a couple of things:
Address book names and facebook contact names have to be the same.
If you have a photo linked to the contact (i.e you synced from another phone to google and pulled the contacts back down) then you often have to specify that the phone uses the facebook profile pic rather than the pic held directly against the contact.
It's a bit of a faff around, and if you delete the pics from the contacts on your gmail account (as someone mentioned above) it should default to the facebook pic assuming there is one for the contact.
<edit> Also ensure you have facebook setup to sync friends into contacts. Facebook app -> Menu -> Settings -> Sync Contacts </edit>

This helped me. Thanks.
I could not add a facebook account directly in "Accounts", but enabling sync in the FB app automatically added it to "Accounts".
Hi.
I use the inbuilt facebook sync on my SGS. Its all well and good but, why is it such a hassle to sync my pics from facebook to my contacts. Going through the process i have to select the contacts from facebook I want to have in my contact list. Then join the two accounts together, last but not least I have to then set facebook as the default account to show facebook pictures. Thats for every single contact....long!
Thats a lot of pressing and messing around. Am I missing something or does anyone have a workaround with an app.
Thanks in advance
bump..............................
i had to do the same thing, except i didnt have to set any defaults, pics came up on their own... my only problem is certain contacts i have saved under nicknames, or i have 2 friends with same name, when i sync the 2 it automatically takes the fbook name... how do i edit the name, it wont let me change it
So my problem is that Ill set my contacts to not be synced with facebook at all, so its just my contacts names and numbers. then ill log into facebook and select "sync with existing contacts only" but then when I go into my contacts instead of just syncing with the contacts i put in only, it puts ALL of my 200+ friends info and numbers and pictures into my contacts. so its like no matter what i choose it decides to choose the "sync with all contacts." and i cant figure it out for the life of me and its really starting to piss me the [email protected]#$ off! any help would be MUCH appreciated!!!!
I can't seem to find a good way to sync my facebook contacts. The regular facebook app doesn't support high-res photos, nick names (such as mom and dad), or manually assigning a contact to a facebook profile.
Other apps I've used have randomly synced EVERYONE to my contacts, I've added people from school, work, etc over the last few years, this is over 300 people!
The best I've used is "Friends Sync", which properly synced about 95% of my contacts, nicknames and all (except of course my mom, who I have as "mom"), but best of all it's high resolution, which looks amazing in any full screen caller ID app. It is lacking the ability to manually assign a profile to a contact, and if you also have regular facebook synced (so I could get those missing 5% contacts), the separate low resolution photo will take priority over "friends sync" and show that when someone calls, meaning you need to disable regular facebook sync if you want high res pictures to show.
Any suggestions or input would be very appreciated.
Have you tried SyncMyPics? This has a settings option to download highres.

Using the facebook app you can sync the contacts, and then merge them with your existing contact (with the nickname of your choice). This doesn't solve your hi-res picture problem, but it did work for me.
You would probably even be able to merge your contacts that you created using Friendsync, just go into the contact that you created (not the one the app did) and choose to edit. Once on the edit screen, press the menu key and it will give you the option to "Join" contact. Join contacts together, and voila!
Lemme know if this works, if not, sorry.
Excellent! At first I wasn't sure what to join the contact to, being that I can't just transfer a single Facebook contact to my contacts. Then I tried making a second contact with the same name as on facebook. Facebook synced to this second contact i made being that it had the same name. I was then able to join my original contact (with the nickname) with the new facebook synced contact, and now it shows the nickname contact with all facebook info + high res picture.
Thanks!!
i flashed ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM for facebook contact picture sync. Contacts from exchange synced fine with facebook contacts but are not showing facebook photo and i am not able to edit any of the contact. Keep on getting "not editable from this app" message.
yeah your phone cant edit facebook info.
create the contact on your phone, then join the phone contact with the facebook contact.
same as it has always been, even on stock.
not trying to update facebook info for contact. i was able to update exchange portion of contact information earlier in RC3.1 including display photo, name, etc. and it updated same on exchange server. But now i can't even update exchange portion. And facebook contact is linked but doesn't show the display picture for contact. Trying to avoid going to another app like haxsync.
seems like problem was with contacts synced by enhanced email app. I switched to normal email account and i am able to edit contacts. Still no photos are shown for facebook contacts, separate or joined. Anyone able to get facebook contact photos synced successfully ?
