Hello
I tried to sync my contacts with facebook for android but in stock messages app my contact pictures doesnt shown.. In contacts everything are ok. I tried with samsung's sns and contact pictures are weird so i dont like it..
Anybody could help me ?
i tried with SyncPix doesnt work for me.
Why nobody helps ? (
Hey buddy try this,
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync make sure you've added a facebook account then click on "sync contacts". This should do everything you need. If not it could be an issue with the contacts not having facebooks linked with their number or something?
SyncMyPix is a great app that I use to syns the pictures between facebook contacts and phone contacts.

You have to make sure that the contacts names are typed exactly or very close to their facebook name, or go through one by one and manually connect them yourself.
Hope that helps

Hello
Pictures shown in contacts but not in messages..
ok this may be worth a shot
go to contacts. first thing, make sure you link that contact's different account icons like facebook/google/sim/card info for the same contact must be linked/merged
After that, enter the contact, hit Options - Mark As Default and select the picture you want
i'm sorry, i'm not 100% if this will solve your problem, but if you haven't tried it already it might help.

is there a way to link your Facebook contact with this phone like the HTC sense ui so that the contacts have a photo instead of a blank face?
I tried to facebook account login in settings already but no go.
Bump anybody know how?
here ya go bud. sorry bout the late response.
This is one solution i've found:
http://androidandme.com/2010/04/reviews/syncmypix-pulls-facebook-contact-photos-to-android/
you'll need a rooted phone, and a method to sideload apps which can be found in these forums. i recommend droid explorer.
Mine actually started working. From in the contacts u can also see the latest post
I can't add my facebook (Facebook for Androir installed and the phone is HTC Desire) to my accounts in phone contacts. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Just installed MildWild CM-3.7 ROM and phonebook is synced with gmail. I tried to took all syncin' off and then add the facebook to my contact accounts but it just doesn't do it. And it doesn't give any error message.
Edit: opps little old thread, but hope some1 could help me.

+1 Although you may need to link each contact individually.

Hi,
I have contacts synced with gmail from before with my nexus one, and now with my galaxy I can't sync any new contacts. I mean it completes the sync on my phone but when I go to contacts the new contacts I have added my phone aren't there and I have to add them manually. but it does add the new info I have added to existing contacts.
Weird thing, what reason can cause this?
I have reflashed many times and it's the same with every other firmware or re-flash. I am using stock JPY with SpeedMod kernel.

You can try updating you gmail client then try to sync again or reinstall the gmail app.
I have updated all my apps to the latest version via market, but it still won't matter.
Did you check your display options? Are your gmail accounts set to show the contact names? Or check if all possible categories are checked in the Gmail Account options? Maybe there is something with your contacts categories and visibility settings?

Well the thing is that it shows all contacts in gmail with no problem, even if it was gonna be hidden in the contacts list in gmail, it should be synced with my device atleast and show the newly added contact in my contacts list. but actually... it doesn't even show new contacts after device syncs with gmail

I meant in contact list.
Here->
contacts>more>Display Options and then check your google account options.
But if that doesn't solve your issue, give a try on some other Android device?

Thanks alot, many of them where un-ticked. I ticked them and it fixed the problem!
Thanks again...
is there an app or something that sync facebook with contacts so when sombody call i can see his picture?
thank you.
Its easy no app is needed its already built in
On your phone go to settings - accounts and sync
In there you can add account and login to your facebook and there will be options to sync calendar and contacts
Just know it will add all your friends from facebook, and if your like me you don't want half those people in there, and also if your like me and you synced your google contacts you'll have doubles, just select one of the double contacts hit your menu button select Join Contact and then select the other double and it will merge the info
Hope that answered your question
thanks, but if i dont want to have all the facebook friends in contacts?
only my contacts?
sure someone will correct me if i'm wrong but you have to sync all contacts and just delete the ones your don't want, shouldn't take you that long.
when you install the facebook app from android you have the option to sync contacts only during set up.
thank you all, i will try.
google for syncmypix.apk
it's just for picture syncing
Thank you.

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?
I am having strange problem.. I have 2 or 3 contacts of the same name and email ID listed in my contacts .. donno why there is a duplication ..
may be it is one of the side effects of all the ROM changes
Can anyone tell me if there is any tool that will delete the duplicate contacts and merge similar contacts for once and all ??
I hate to see duplicates when am searching for a number...
You can "join" contacts together.
They might have done that because of different services/apps that sync contacts. I have that too. Like Facebook and Google. I just joined them together.
Hey there
its not because of changing rom, but because you may had updated contacts via google and facebook, as already stated that you can join contacts, as well as connect your mobile via kies and go to contacts and you can delete multiple contacts which wont have number...

i see multiple contacts withing google .. .Facebook and other stuff are different and i am ok to Join those contacts ...
deleting them in a pain as I need to look into each one and see if it is exactly the same as the other and then delete or join ..
Hence the need of a tool that can do the magic ..
Hey there
theres even an option to hide the contacts which dont have numbers!!!

I would be interested in that too, if someone can actually suggest a tool and not workarounds, as the OP asked.

Best and easiest solution is Download Go contacts EX from Play store for free.
Open Go contacts - menu- Merge - By name / by number / by Email...
That's It...

I think this is what you need to do...go to your gmail account, better from your pc/laptop for quicker result. Under google logo, click on "gmail" and then choose "contacts", you'll be presented with contacts manager, now the word "gmail" have changed to "contacts", look further right you'll see a dropdown dialog called "more", click that and select "find and merge duplicates".
Click "thanks" if it helps you...

If I do this and then flash another ROM, will I get duplicates again?

This actually sounds good. Let me try this. Will it work if I go do that stuff from note or I should do it only from PC?

Either way should work, but I prefer using my laptop screen as it's a lot bigger while fine tuning my contacts details.
I did that from my PC and swell.. it did merge a staggering 1500 contacts :-D ...
It looks much more neat now.. All i have to do now is merge the contact between FB and Google ..
Now comes the second interesting part.. once i join the FB and Gmail contacts ... lets say I wiped the data and moved to a custom ROM.. Will I have to join the contact again at that point ??

I think you'll have to join the FB and Gmail contacts again, but that would not be much difficult as your phone will automatically suggest to join those contacts as long as they use same email address in both FB and Gmail.
