So the contacts section of this application was having issues for some time, so I removed my account and just readded it, and now there is no contacts section.. Is there an options area for it or something?

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!!....
You can go for this, worx nice
AddressBooker & exporting my Facebook Phonebook:

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 have an HTC Heron with Android 2.1. I used to be able to sync and link the ocntacts on my phone with those who appear on Facebook. However, now I can't and it's very annoying. I have tried a few times to remove and reinstall the Android Facebook app but there is no syncing option within the app, although there should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in (not in the app, but) the system settings -> accounts/ synchronization (or something similar)
Already tried that with no luck.
yeah you need to add facebook, just as above post Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook
If still no joy, there is a way of doing it the phonebook/contacts. There should be a little button to the far right on the same line as the persons names is and you can sync them that way. AFIK their is no way to do multiple persons so its one at a time
fairly simple download and install facebook for android apk from google market, add a facebook account via Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook, authenticate with your account details, select sync with existing contacts, download and install GO Contacts EX from google market.
This will offer to import facebook and sim accounts, click settings, and merge, select name - you can now merge all the duplicate contacts together
You can also add twitter accounts just add the twitter apk from the market , then follow the above steps
Thanks everyone for your help. I have tried removing and readding HTC Facebook Sense. No luck still. I then backed up my entire phone and did a factory reset - no change though. My Facebook widget did not return and I did still cannot get my Contacts to sync with the Facebook app downloaded from the Market, so I am in the same position as before.
All I want to do is to link some of my contacts who are on Facebook with their Facebook profile as I did before with no extra apps. Until very recently, I had the HTC Facebook widget, the Android Facebook widget and syncing contacts. Suddenly, my HTC Widget has mysteriously gone. I've written to HTC to see what they say.
had this problem recently, tried all the usual advice etc. only thing that worked was fcontactssync. you can uninstall it once you've linked everything.
hope this helps..
Thank you will try this next time. However, the day after I sent this message, weirdly my contacts all synced back again to Facebook! They hadn't done this for weeks! However, I did contact HTC and the Facebook for Android Developmer about my problem so maybe that haed something to do with this working again. Someone else I know haad the same problem which corrected on the same day as me!
Not sure if this is the right thread to post/ask this, but I installed the Musketeers 3.6 on my Sensation XL yesterday, and it looks good, but somehow I can't see the Facebook birthdays and events in my HTC calendar. In the HTC stock roms I was always used to seeing these, as you can see more calendars in the HTC calendar. This is my first custom ROM on a HTC phone so I wondered if it would have something to do with the development of the Musketeers rom or if it's an oversight on my account.
I have:
- checked the Facebook box in the calendars to use in the calendar app
- Facebook app installed
- Facebook calendar syncing with the device (according to sync settings)
- Facebook contacts linked with Google contacts (however birthdays do not show up on the contact sheet of each contact)
- rebooted several times
Anyone any tips?
After a Facebook update I had to login again into Facebook and give HTC Sense permission again, then all of a sudden the Facebook events and birthdays appear again in my HTC Calendar. I'm a happy camper again.
I am a bit puzzled with the People (contacts app) and what I do need to sync.
I only have my regular contacts showing in my Phonebook (have hidden Twitter-FB), but I have linked those that have FB profiles with the profiles in order to have their pics showing.
In the HTC One Settings--> Account & Sync ---> Facebook, there are three options: Calendar, Contacts and Live Feed
I understand what Calendar is and I have it off but not sure about the other two.
What is Contacts about ? In order to have my contacts updating their Photos and their status do I have to turn this on?
And what is the Live Feed sync? I don't think it has to do with Blinkfeed. So then what?
Is this the "Updates" panel that exists for each of my contacts?
Any help would be appreciated.
No one?
Is it so obvious and I'm missing it?
Contacts - syncs Facebook contacts to your phone contacts (photos, email addresses, etc.)
Live feed - Add the Facebook feed to the HTC Sense Facebook widget, probably BlinkFeed, etc.

I don't think that it does to Blinkfeed as I have it off and I still get FB updates in Blinkfeed.
I also have it off for Contacts, but I've seen that when I open the People app if I wait for a small amount of time statuses are updates.
That's why I was confused.
I am on a Nexus 6 with the latest Android 5 release. When I go to the contacts app and set to display only one specific group of contacts from my google account then the contacts app will only display those contacts. How ever the dialer app will completely ignore those settings and always display all contacts on any of my accounts.
In the past the contacts app and dialer app worked together. So when I told the contacts app to display only the group "work" then the contacts app as well as the dialer app would only display the conctacts within the group "work".
I tried deleting data from "contacts" app and "contacts storage" as well as the "dialer" app. I disabled syncing, re-synced, etc... dialer will always ignore the contacts app settings and since the dialer app doesn't have an option to hide contacts, there is no way I csn currently hide contacts with stock contacts/dialer app?
Thanks
