i flashed ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM for facebook contact picture sync. Contacts from exchange synced fine with facebook contacts but are not showing facebook photo and i am not able to edit any of the contact. Keep on getting "not editable from this app" message.
yeah your phone cant edit facebook info.
create the contact on your phone, then join the phone contact with the facebook contact.
same as it has always been, even on stock.
not trying to update facebook info for contact. i was able to update exchange portion of contact information earlier in RC3.1 including display photo, name, etc. and it updated same on exchange server. But now i can't even update exchange portion. And facebook contact is linked but doesn't show the display picture for contact. Trying to avoid going to another app like haxsync.
seems like problem was with contacts synced by enhanced email app. I switched to normal email account and i am able to edit contacts. Still no photos are shown for facebook contacts, separate or joined. Anyone able to get facebook contact photos synced successfully ?

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".
Using cyanogen 5.0.3-6 and running Desire port before that, my contacts have that <sn>id:697626900/friendof:696095236</sn> thing in the 'notes' which is fine.
But when viewing contact information on the phone, it has many duplicates under the one name, and it seems to list the contact details from my google account twice. e.g.
call mobile:
call home:
email:
nickname: aaron
nickname: aaron
notes: <sn>id:697622960/friendof:696495536</sn>
notes: <sn>id:697622960/friendof:696495536</sn>
facebook profile
then when I tap EDIT
Google Contact - from [email protected]
name, number, details, etc
Google Contact - from [email protected]
name, number, details, etc (again)
facebook contact - from [email protected]
name, phone, email
so I'm curious why it has my gmail contact details twice?
One thing I did was import a backup contact list from SD card when testing cyan test builds without the google apps, and then when I installed google apps and synced maybe it added the backed up ones from SD card to the cloud, but everything looks normal on Gmail contacts page.
to make things worse once I fixed everything in gmail contacts, the phone synced all the bad contact details back and made even more duplicates >.<
The <SN> id in the contact notes are from Facebook contact sync. I wanna say that's the source of your problem.
Do this: delete all synced accounts (Facebook and Google) and contacts, then sign back into just your Google account and sync your contacts. If you have a problem even when there's no Facebook account present, your problem stems from somewhere else. But just try this first to ensure if it is or isn't Facebook.
I am running CyanogenMod-6.0.0-N1 and trying to use facebook sync to sync up contact pics with the contacts in my phone. but only some of the contacts are not syncing up.
I have names set as first name then last name and facebook will connect them to the correct persons facebook but will not download that persons profile picture to set as caller ID pic. (but couple random names have synced up and the pics show up)
what could I be doing wrong? or whats the error?
Did you try to manually join them then use their facebook picture as the profile picture?
cant manually join them when they are automatically joined. but yes i tried unjoining then rejoining them.
fix that seems to work right now is to log out of facebook app and log back in. seems to be working so far.
How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display
So not too long ago my contact photos for a specific contact has been disappearing for no reason. I link all my contacts with their Facebook profile and any other social networks that the phone picks up. All the contacts I have gets their photo but one.
But the problem isn't just getting that persons Facebook contact photos. It's their Google+ photos too. Their G+ photo doesn't even sync to my phone. So I'm left with the placeholder image for G+. If I manually go to link the contact with their other accounts, the contact image is the placeholder image for the specific account.
In hopes of fixing the problem, here are the list of things I've tried already:
Removed Facebook account and log in again (result is contact photo appears once linked, but any further modifications to the contact cause the problem)
Uninstalled updates to Facebook app and reinstalled the current beta version
Installed the current stable version of the app
Removed Google account and re-added
Removed contact from Google contacts and phone contacts, and created a new contact
Cleared cache and data from Facebook app
Cleared contacts storage cache (haven't cleared contact storage data, not sure if that will cause me to lose all my contacts)
If anyone has had this problem or has any ideas of a way to fix this, please tell me.
anyone ?
