Facebook contacts

Just wondering if anyone has a problem with the Facebook contact pictures not loading and if anyone knows a fix. Thanks in advance.

It depends on the ROM, some AOSP built ROMs have a bug which causes problems with FB syncing. Have you made sure that syncing with existing/all contacts is selected in the FB app settings?

I am on cm6 final it was just working like the other day then I accidentally clear the data in contacts and now its gone and doesn't load back? Yes syncying is enabled.

As it got tiring to relink my gmail contacts to fb just to have their contact photos after a wipe (rom flashing addiction)...especially with some asop builds having sync problems with the fb app..i've given up using that approach. Instead, i use Syncmypix. It syncs ur fb pics to ur gmail contacts uploading the pics to gmail. Hence, the next time u download ur gmail contacts after a wipe, you pull down their pics as well

Thanks works great

[Q] Link contacts with Linkedin?

Hi,
I like the way my HDH link my contacts with FB. But, some of my contacts dont have FB, but do have Linkedin. So, here my obvious question: Is it possible to also link my contacts to Linkedin? Or perhaps other social media?

There is no officiel linkedin app yet.
You can try this one, it is supposed to do what you want.

[Q] How to sync Facebook pics to Messaging :(

I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Current Rom: Mosaic III (2.3.3)

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V

I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.

Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

Facebook contacts not showing..

I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook

^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.

I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.

Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?

Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic

Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

[Q] Facebook contact sync?

Hello guys.
Sorry if this question has been asked. Looked through a few pages but couldnt find any topic related to this.
Anyway, im currently on the unofficial cyan10 rom, and im wondering whether the facebook sync contact is working on your inc s. I already set for the app to sync contacts, but nothing happened.
This was obvious when none of my contacts had the photos they were using on FB.
I googled a bit and seemed to found a thread which showed how to sync properly, but its using another device, and the method requires renaming some apks, plus most of the users said it didnt work, so i didnt try it yet.
So i was hoping someone had a solution for this.
Sorry for all the troubles and thankyou for helping.

It'd be interesting if you tried the fix/advice you found by googling and then posted your results.

snt frm my inc s wiv my xda app

If you mean the built in method: It just converts every of your fb friends in contacts on your phone. It's not visible without checking the [X] though... If you want really sync fb profile pictures and events to your contacts and your calendar, I recommend you HaxSync. It works flawless on AOSP and CM

What [X] are you on about?
Because I'm sure I've set all of the in-app settings to display Facebook contacts, is there one I've missed...
I've gone into the menu in the 'People' app, and then 'contacts to display' and tried all variations in here.
Have others got Facebook contacts to show in your 'People' app by just selecting the right settings, without additional apps?
I must be doing something wrong...

Facebook contact sync doesn't work either on my device. Still looking forward to a fix as I got used to that.

I had the same problem with dla5244's ROM and another one that was released later (Lacoste).
I used Contact Sync for Facebook and everything is OK now.

Agree. I've been using HaxSync for both Sense and CM. It works flawlessly and with high-res photo.

Ive installed haxsync and the workaround. My contacts still dont have the photos they are using on FB.
How exacrly do I make it work?

After HaxSync has completed syncing contacts from facebook, they should be able to see them in People app (settings-contacts to display). If their names match with your existing contacts, they should be joined automatically. Otherwise, you need to join them one by one.

You didn't miss anything, the [X] just doesn't do what you're looking for, so forget about that.

+1.You can manually join contacts if you go into Settings > Accounts > HaxSync > Preferences > Contact Settings > Manage Contacts. The rest should be clear. Should work

Oh I see. Actually some of my contacts already started to have the photos. Which is weird because the names on my phone dont match with the one on FB haha xD.
I guess the ones that didnt sync, i'll just do them manually.
Thanks for the help guys!

One thing I don't like in HaxSync is the fuzzy logic for name matching. I always disable it the first thing after installation.
