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] Sanyo Zio (Kyocera M6000) Issue adding Facebook account for contact synching.

Facebook Account synch was not available in Donut 1.6, so I downloaded the 2.2.1 update from this website for Cricket for both my Zio phones. Both are having the same issue. Contacts --> Menu --> Accounts --> Add Account --> Facebook. This does not work.
After clicking Facebook, it kicks me back one screen without adding it to the list of synched accounts. If I log out of Facebok and clear the data, and re follow the steps above, it displays the log in screeen to facebook. After logging in, it simply brings up my facebook home screen. When I go back into Account & Sync settings, Facebook is still not listed. Is anyone with a Zio, and with the 2.2.1 update having this issue?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Facebook app to no avail.

I'm having that same issue. I have been doing some research and will let you know if i find a fix

download syncmypix from the market. It works great unfortunately it does add everyone from your facebook. If it cant find a contact because the name is different just press and hold onto the contact in syncmypix and seletc link to contact and select the contact you have in your phone book and it will sync it.

make sure you have sync turned om from the facebook app itself. open the app, and back out of the newsfeed. press menu > settings and verify you have contact sync turned on.

I'm running the offical facebook app from the android market and I have the same issue.

Same issue
I installed the Facebook app from the market and I have the same issue. I am unable to sync Facebook in my contacts.

Im pretty sure this is because there isnt a stock facebook app built into our android version.
And when you think about it, if you install facebook app, it will automatcally sync (in the facebook settings). So theres really no need for android to handle the sync.
Kyocera should have removed this from the sync settings..

I had to do a factory reset. I added Facebook as an account and synced contacts. It doesn't show up in accounts but all my FB contacts are in my contacts now. Sign out of the FB app, uninstall it. Add FB to your accounts. Reinstall. Contacts should be there. Make sure your also signed out of FB in your browser.

Facebook contacts may be added by going to the home screen(or one with sufficient space) and long pressing. The go to folders. Put up Facebook Phonebook. Open it. Go in to each contact individually and add them.

Not necessarily the easiest way to sync your Facebook contacts, I am going to see what can be done to actually sync contacts.

Easiest way I have found to sync facebook contacts is an app called friendcaster. There is a free and pay version on the market place.

[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!

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 pics on contacts

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

sweet but a pain in the ass from when just needed to click menu on contact and go join. But good find none the less!

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.

FB Contacts

Is there a way to only sync photos with existing contacts from Facebook? For some reason, all of my Facebook contacts are now in my phone and I don't really need them all there. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone wondering, all you do is Open Contacts -> Press Menu button -> Display Options and then un-check Facebook and it will clear out your FB Contacts, but leave the ones you entered yourself.

Thank you so much for this! I deleted all of the fb contacts that got added by hand then they all synced back again... I was like wtf dude.... glad I searched and found this, I was going to make a new thread!

yep, just install Facebook, launch it and it'll ask (the first time...after logging in) "sync all contacts" or "sync only existing contacts" Choose existing. Done.

I was having issues with this working the way I wanted, so I just used SyncMyPix. Does syncing it using the FB app or using and FB account sync more than just the pictures?
