[Q] Facebook contacts won't sync

Guys contacts from facebook accounts won't sync but calendar syncs flawlessly. Other account would sync too. Can't contact facebook since there's no way to get to them. Did anyone ever come across this issue. Is there any possible solution to it?

I'm having the the same problem. Anyone? I'm on JVK Darky's RC4 if that helps.

I had this problem, but a while ago, while I was on stock rom. I had to delete de FB account from Acc/Sync, re-install FB for Android and let the app add the sync account. There's a small difference between the Facebook Sync account that is manually added or the Facebook Sync account that the app adds itself. You can even see a small difference in the icons (Account & Sync).
Hope this helps further ...

Facebook Contacts Won't Sync?
Don't know if you're still interested in the fix for this, but you'll need to go to facebook.com using any browser (don't need your phone for this), go into your security settings.
On the bottom left, you'll see a link for "Apps and websites: edit your settings," click on this and then edit the settings for "Apps you use."
Delete "Samsung Mobile."
You can log out now as you won't need to do anything else at facebook.
Now go into your phone and delete your integrated facebook account (if you haven't already).
Create a new integrated facebook account as you usually would. If you don't sync the first time, reboot and try again.

It has nothing to do with deleting the actual app. There are two Facebook services on the Android as Orvo has said, you can notice the difference in them by looking at the icons. Only one of them lets you sync contacts to your phone, if the first doesn't try, try the other. One of them works.

I had the same problem i fixed it by reflashing the whole rom with a full wipe.
Hope it helps..

[Q] Regarding Picasa Sync

Hi.
I have Galaxy S,
Firmware Version : 2.3.3
Build Number : GINGERBREAD.DDJV6
I want to deactivate Picasa sync in my Gallery app.
I tried using Settings -> Accounts and Sync -> Manage Accounts
But there is no checkbox to remove the synced albums or stop syncing it further, as it was there in Froyo.
It just says, "Touch to sysc Now" And i am not able to removed the synced Albums.
Kindly someone help me. I dont want to do factory reset.

Its very simple
Just enable Auto Sync in settings accounts & sync. Then touch on ur google account. Then untick picasa album sync.
After that
Go to.
Settings> applications> manage applications> all> gallery> clear data

[q] contacts and facebook syncing

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!

[Q] Stock contacts app from android 2.3.4?

hi everybody, I don't know if this has been alredy asked, but I couldn't find it...
I had the android 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini... I've just got installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1...
Well the thing is, this rom has a different contacts app...
In my 2.3.4, my stock contacts app, had the option no syncronize with facebook, without having the facebook for android app installed... This way I had all the pictures, the phone numbers, even the last post on the wall of ever one of my facebook friends right below the picture...
All this things I don't have it in this new contacts app on the rom...
Can anyone help me to get the stock contacts apps from de 2.3.4, or at least, one that have the option to sync with facebook...
thanks in advance...

Just install Facebook for Android and let the sync begins...
