Is anyone else having this issue? I sync facbook and did all the only merge contacts on phone. then deleted FB then re installed and sync again. I've done everything and for some odd reason only some or a few contacts will link with FB to show picture as a contact in my phone book.
No takers on this one?
Update on this so for some odd reason if i go to contact
1. click edit contact change a few letter on the contact then save.
2. click edit contact change the name back.
3. click the 3 dots on the top right and click link
4. click on the FB to link and choose the person and link them it works.
Dont know why but it does.
when i tried it without changing the name and repeat the steps it wont link them.
odd. anyone else having that issue?

I am trying to figure out why in my contacts they about a quarter of them show facebook information with the facebook picture attached to the contact picture, and then the rest of them do not show the facebook picture but when i go into edit on the contact at the bottom shows some information like their full name from facebook, phone number and email, also showing an exclamation point with "Facebook contact information is not editable on this device" which I believe is normal. How would I get this person's picture to show when the phone already thinks the facebook account is joined? Oh and when I try to join it the person does not show up in the join list.
Unrelated question: Does anyone know a fix for slow app scrowling in 2.2 STOCK froyo? the 3D effect is nice but when I had a launcher from the market it would scroll with one swipe of my finger from the top to bottom, now the same swipe would get me just a couple rows down.
Thanks everyone
Facebook syncing
In facebook people have first and last name, If you want them to sync properly edit the contacts information to match facebook name, and that should clean things up. If not let me know.
Thats the one thing about the HD2 I liked... You can manually match your contacts with your facebook contacts. I don't think you can do that with the N1, unless you know what all of your friends facebook ID numbers are.
My contacts already are named just as they are in facebook.they have facebook information at the bottom of the edit contacts area. Just no picture.. how do I fix this?

You can do that with Android, too.
-> Go to contacts
-> Choose the contact you want to assign a Facebook-account to
-> Hit the menu botton and "Edit"
-> While in "edit mode" hit the menu button again and there should be a "Join" button
-> It should suggest some Facebook contacts
Attention! though, some user report, that this can change the name of the contact. Before saving make sure the contact is filed under the name you want (by editing the name if necessary).
You can revert this operation the same way but chose "Seperate" if you joined two contacts that don't fit anymore.

If the contacts fb info is already linked to the correct contact in your phone book and its just now showing the pic, you can tell google to use it manually by;
- Going to the contact without the image, click in to there contact card and select edit from the menu.
- Then scroll down to the facebook section part of the contact info and click the profile pic shown
- a dialog should show up with the option "Use this photo"
Select that and it *should* add the image as the contacts profile pic.
If its that the accounts simply aren't linking, ensuring they had the same name worked for me, but i imagine if your still having no luck with that, the manual join described by the guy above should do the trick.
Hope that helps
Fixed by restoring phone.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
If you check "use all contacts" in stock phone contacts app, the pictures appear.
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.
E2: Got it working. Had to clear facebook data from apps managment and after that add Facebook to contacts (asked the login info) and got it working.

Hey there.
I just started using my LG 2x and I am already finding myself somewhat struggling with some of the ways it is (a matter of getting used to it i figure ). But can someone tell me how I can manually link up my phone contacts with my facebook contacts?.
Because some of the contacts I have do not link up by themselves >_<
Hopefully someone can help
My contacts aren't linked with facebook either. I synced with Outlook but it's no facebook linked.
Weird... With Samsung and HTC that goes automatically.
Edit: Maybe you have to be logged in on Facebook for LG-app and not the official facebook app on Android Market?
just give it a little time, i had the same problem, but after a day a so everybody was in!
Open contact -> Menu -> Edit Contact -> Menu -> Merge

you have to set it up to show all your facebook contacts and wait for them to load.
then open a contact, pres menu, select edit contact, pres menu, select merge, find the facebook profile you want to link to you may have to pres show all.
When you are all done hide your facebook contacts from the list

I'm doing just like this, but I get this message: The selected contact can not be added
I'm using the official facebook app, not facebook for LG. Has that anything to do with it?

Are you selecting the contact from the phone and links to the facebook contact, or vice versa?
You gotta do it from the contacts list and not from Facebook.

That's what I did, but I still get this error: The selected contact can not be added
I used the stock Facebook for LG app, and it worked like a charm
Can you also change the contact image as well ?. I mean because some of the people I talk to on Facebook use stupid images and I want to replace them with another image. Can you do that as well ?
I can't get it to work now either... I've done just like you guys said and I just keep getting the same message again and again.

Are you logged in to facebook for LG also? Or only the official facebook app from Market?

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.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result
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.
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.

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.
