I am having a problem with facebook contact syncing on my SGS. The contacts all sync to my phone fine, but i have noticed that even if i have the same name in my phonebook as i do for a facebook friend it joins the 2 together.
Only problem is that if i join 2 people of the same name, it seems to use the profile photo and status of another facebook user, and there seems to be no way to sort it, i have tried deleting facebook account from phone and resyncing it, i have tried manually joining the contacts and still nothing.
Anyone else experienced this?
Happened to me on Several roms
Stock 2.1
Stock 2.2
Various custom roms
I want to add my messenger contacts to my contact on the phone so i can join them with the other ones, from facebook, skype, twitter and google
now, i know the SGSII has the social hub which brings a sync manager for WLM BUT... it breaks the connection with FB and Twitter and also causes random SNS FC's in JVP, so my question is, is there any app out there that will add this as Skype adds it's own?
thanks for any help with this.
Hi!
Just got my hands on a Xperia Z1 and I am very impressed with it!
I've always had android phones and I'm used to the OS etc, however I'm having problems with my contacts not being synced to their Facebook accounts, specifically the pictures.
Previously the pictures automatically synced with each contact, so I get a nice picture on my contact list and messages, however this isnt the case now! I've synced with FB and had no success at all, so i'm wondering if there is a simple fix for this that I'm not doing?
Apologies if this is a subject that is getting repeated!
Thanks in advance! :good:
What FB-sync did you use? Facebook's own app or Sony's Xperia with Facebook account functionality?
The latter allows you for syncing the photos of your contacts, while Facebook's own application doesn't. Just go to the accounts and add a "Xperia with Facebook"-account.
I honestly made the best decision ever of removing the Facebook app from my phone, with it installed, my phone would drain 20% of battery overnight even with greenify. With it removed, I lost only 5% battery, couldn't be happier.
However, with that said, I use the alternative client Swipe, I really like it for normal browsing, but not the Messenger feature. I still have the FB Messenger app due to its calling,emoji, sticker, etc features, but man is it a resource hog. According to the wake lock detector, it woke my device 58 times.
Do any of you know of any other client alternative to the current messenger app with a better theme than the one in Swipe with the same features as current FB Messenger app. Not too fond of Swipe's messenger as it just loads the mobile site version, its features are limited.
If not, do any of you know how to restrict the app properly to not wake my device so often? Greenify seems to have no effect
Trillian will work with your facebook account. Last time I used it, which was about a year ago, the interface wasn't the best to look at but got the job done. It handles other messaging protocols such as Skype, but doesn't work with Whatsapp (naturally).
I was gonna suggest a all in one like trillian and someone on these boards made a facebook messenger and twitter all in one app tho i forget the name. I never go on facebook but I leave it installed but it never takes like any battery, tho I turned off all notifications and turned off chat in the main app and turned off auto load video etc. No issues tho but not many options for third party messenger apps but search forums for the all in one i mentioned.
Possibly IM+? I used this way back in the day with earlier versions of Android, might do the trick! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.shapeservices.impluslite
If I remember correctly you can also use Disa with the facebook plugin. that way you have SMS and facebook in the same app

Hello to everyone.
My Problem ist that I am experiencing sync issues on my phone.
Facebook messenger not getting messages until I go manually in the app. Sometimes also with Gmail and WhatsApp.
Does anybody else have issues like that?
Hello,
I also noticed something similar like you so i went to the apps part of the phone and manually tweaked the telegram, gmail applications to be less restrictive than the OS is managing them.
I suspect the ColorOS automatically restricts most apps for battery purpose, but you can manually tweak each app to be more or less active / more or less aggressive with power management.
You could try this for starters i think
