Hello guys.
Sorry if this question has been asked. Looked through a few pages but couldnt find any topic related to this.
Anyway, im currently on the unofficial cyan10 rom, and im wondering whether the facebook sync contact is working on your inc s. I already set for the app to sync contacts, but nothing happened.
This was obvious when none of my contacts had the photos they were using on FB.
I googled a bit and seemed to found a thread which showed how to sync properly, but its using another device, and the method requires renaming some apks, plus most of the users said it didnt work, so i didnt try it yet.
So i was hoping someone had a solution for this.
Sorry for all the troubles and thankyou for helping.

It'd be interesting if you tried the fix/advice you found by googling and then posted your results.

If you mean the built in method: It just converts every of your fb friends in contacts on your phone. It's not visible without checking the [X] though... If you want really sync fb profile pictures and events to your contacts and your calendar, I recommend you HaxSync. It works flawless on AOSP and CM
What [X] are you on about?
Because I'm sure I've set all of the in-app settings to display Facebook contacts, is there one I've missed...
I've gone into the menu in the 'People' app, and then 'contacts to display' and tried all variations in here.
Have others got Facebook contacts to show in your 'People' app by just selecting the right settings, without additional apps?
I must be doing something wrong...

Facebook contact sync doesn't work either on my device. Still looking forward to a fix as I got used to that.

I had the same problem with dla5244's ROM and another one that was released later (Lacoste).
I used Contact Sync for Facebook and everything is OK now.

Agree. I've been using HaxSync for both Sense and CM. It works flawlessly and with high-res photo.
Ive installed haxsync and the workaround. My contacts still dont have the photos they are using on FB.
How exacrly do I make it work?

After HaxSync has completed syncing contacts from facebook, they should be able to see them in People app (settings-contacts to display). If their names match with your existing contacts, they should be joined automatically. Otherwise, you need to join them one by one.

You didn't miss anything, the [X] just doesn't do what you're looking for, so forget about that.

+1.You can manually join contacts if you go into Settings > Accounts > HaxSync > Preferences > Contact Settings > Manage Contacts. The rest should be clear. Should work
Oh I see. Actually some of my contacts already started to have the photos. Which is weird because the names on my phone dont match with the one on FB haha xD.
I guess the ones that didnt sync, i'll just do them manually.
Thanks for the help guys!

One thing I don't like in HaxSync is the fuzzy logic for name matching. I always disable it the first thing after installation.

google, FB, contact sync
to sync my FB contact I'm using ubersync and It's work fine, my contact are updated with FB picture.
I'have a doubt, why the contact on google are not updated with FB picture?
It seem that what my phone do is only to link the 2 contact, but in google are reported what regarding the google contact only.
Kind regards,

I am using Liberated just because of the nice facebook syncing with contacts of the sense (I mean, birthdays - profile pics - statuses etc.). I wanna use CM, but couldn't figure out how can I do same thing in CM. You guys, what are you doing for that? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
P.S: I have tried few 3rd party battery-draining app (which I cant remember the name atm). Is there any real good app to do that like sense does?

Please elaborate on the "birthdays, profile pics, statuses, etc" part...I haven't used sense since day 3 of having my aria so I can't really remember anything about it.
As far as profile pics go, phone numbers, emails, etc...you CAN sync that on CM --
1. settings > accounts & sync > facebook
2. facebook settings > sync contacts > sync all

One thing I would like to point out is that you have to do those steps in the reverse order. aosp won't let you even add facebook as a sync account until you choose to sync contacts via the facebook app.

Thanks. Didnt know native client has sync option :O So does it sync friend's birthdays with your calendar? And about statuses; sense dialer shows your friend's last status messages below their names but I guess it's not possible on native dialer. well its not so important.

Im not sure about the birthdays, but it does sync their status updates to their contact on the phone. If you click their picture it pops up with other options.

You can download a program called ebobirthday it can sync your Facebook birthdays to your calender.

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?

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.
almost all sense 3.5 roms have this problem with fb app not syncing contact pics i did find a solution but
The process is painstakingly slow and avoid it if u have too many friends or if u r not intrested
1) update the fb app to latest version
2) go to fb app > settings > sync contacts > select either first or second option
do this if u haven't done this earlier
3) go to friends section and wait for their pics to load then start scrolling down slowly and wait for some more pics to load do this until all the pics are loaded
4) if u still couldn't get contact pics then try linking the contacts manually
.........
i hope this helps its really irritating to see blank contacts
HIT the thanks button if this helped you
Or download friends sync. Done in about 10 seconds and it don't upload contacts that arnt in your phone contact book etc.

something wich manages high resolution photos?
i used syncmypix on old phones, wich seems stopped to be supported on october 2012, and i don't know wich resolution syncs..
i have read of haxsync, but seems it has to be always active... isn't there something wich syncs with gmail, then you can delete it?
i couldn't see, but doesn't xperia z dialer support big picture ? do i need to use full screen caller or hd caller (whatever the name is, i bought it some time ago)
The starred in Android contacts on my Gmail account syncs in HD all the others in SD.... WEIRD!!!! They have to fix it ASAP!

doesn't it sync "on the fly"? meaning, the sync remains if i delete haxsync? i've read it drains quite a bit of battery... and do pics appear large in dialer?
use this app called UberSync Facebook contact sync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
It allows you to sync the recent profile picture from your friend's profile and you can change the size of the picture to small, medium,large. My Arc S shows full screen when I get a call from my friends :thumbup: just set the photo size to large. Also the app can be set to auto sync or you can manually sync. No worries about battery drain!

@alfiabaram, i'm going to try that too thanks
Oops! I forgot to mention this - you need to rename the contact to their Facebook name (be very specific about the first & last name) then it will fetch their assign their picture to the contact. Use ' run manual scan' option. There's no notification after the scan is finished >.<

ok i've tried with it, but it isn't so "ergonomic", no notifies, no info,and i couldn't make manual links to facebook profile.... and when i tried to delete it, i've lost all my pix
would like to try sync.me but yesterday developers put it out of the market cause it has to be rewritten (or similar)
now i've tried facebook contact picture sync by sbla games
it has anything i need seems, it has manual link (you can save and load links) for people with different names
it syncs then you can delete the app, it takes big photos,and is quite fast (you can "assist the process) so i think for anyone who doesn't need repeated syncs (don't know if it handles it, didn't search)
btw thanks for your help
it seems quite good
Go to Gmail Contacts and put HD pictures to your contacts, then put the contacts you use the most to the favourites (starred in Android) let it sync with Google and finally clear the cache and data from your "contacts" app, then sync again with google your contacts again and the starred contacts will sync in HD!

Just did this and everything worked out Thanks ... though there should be a fix from Google ... silly Google.
Guys, in 4.2.2 update they fixed it, now all the contacts are synced in HD, you have to open each contact once though to force it to download the full picture.

Is anyone else having issues with Sync.me sending out spam to contacts when syncing?
Ubersync for FB doesn't work anymore, anyone know of another app to sync FB contact pics?
I have just been in the phone to HTC UK who haven't got any idea of how to solve the facebook crisis with syncing pictures in the gallery
and have stated its a bug which should be corrected
I have with a bit of trial and error managed to solve the issue - yes I know this is another forum topic but its important that users know how to do it as its causing users a nightmare
Right first thing
Go into settings
then into accounts and sync
on the facebook account ensure live feed is unchecked
Now go to settings and apps
go to all
search on facebook
you will get facebook and facebook for htc sense
select each one and clear the data and cache
go back and do the same for the gallery app
if you now check your gallery you will have no facebook pictures in it
If you now launch the facebook app sign in as normal as clearing the cache will remove your account
when you sign in ensure you don't sync contacts
now go to settings and account and sync
go to facebook again and ensure the live feed has remained unchecked
if you now go into the gallery you will not be able to see your facebook pictures and it will be restored back to normal for my photos
the only issue is that if you click on friends it wont contact anything as you have cleared the data and the pictures
until htc sort a fix out this is the best we can do
The guy at htc has escalated the bug and it should be looked at next firmware release
:laugh: SOLVED | Don't forget to thank me if you appreciate my work
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Cancel they remained off for 20 mins and now back on my gallery grrr HTC need to sort this annoyance out

what i've done is - disable live feed sync in facebook. then wipe htc facebook data in apps. forks fine for now)
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Never sign in to facebook via htc sense. All it will do is give you problems. Just log in with the app and sync nothing.

If you sign in with the facebook app it automatically seems to do it via sense ... no matter which way I have cleared the cache / data and signed in the pictures keep coming back
I am now trying to use an apk which I have found on the internet for 2.2.1 facebook to see if that will sort it
if you look in the app menu for facebook and disable the app .. and then go to the market you have to re enable which then gives you the same issues
it seems like htc have really sown up facebook on the device
ill let you know how I go on with a separate apk I don't want facebook in my gallery and still keep trying to find a way round it
open your facebook account go to Account Settings->Apps then configure "facebook for htc sense" or just remove it then your problem is solved.

Yeah exactly. Come on OP change the title. Very misleading because I remembered this thread and searched for it just to get a fix, when I found it I realised it doesn't work. Mods?
