I apologize if this has already been asked but how can you get your contact picture to sync w Facebook pictures? Is it available on custom roms?

I can;t link anything since I'm stuck as a junior member (for now), but from what I've read this is a Facebook issue and not a Sense issue. Something about Facebooks protocols changed recently and seemingly behind-the-scenes. Until the application is updated it probably won't work.
really, that is quite disappointing.
Try this, be sure to read my post.

Try to delete HTC sense from your Facebook apps on the website?
USE THE F'ING SEARCH. Seriously, this problem has been going on for a week now and there are threads with this problem in the title and mentioned 1000 times. Stop being so lazy and looking for spoon feeding of answers.

Hi,
I have tried about 6 different 2.2 ROMS by different people and in everyone when i try the fbook sync it stops on 293 contacts. This means most of the important people do not have any fbook info linked to their name on the phone, no email address or photo etc
is this a bug in all the base 2.2s or something else i can fix myself?
Thanks

apparently leedroid's rom says it's got Facebook HTC sync fixed... give it a go i guess...
I tried 1.5b and it wasnt working in that one.
I guess it is an issue in the under lying 2.2 for them all to be broken is it?
If I set up HTC Twitter syncing I can link contacts to Twitter accounts. However there is no option in People's view settings to just show 'Twitter for HTC sync' accounts like it is for 'Facebook for HTC sync'.
I just would like to see latests updates for some contacts via the People application. Workaround would be to make empty contacts for every twitter contact and link them to, this way they'd show in people app, but that's hardly convenient.
Is it the same for you, or it's just me that got that broken? I find it hard to believe that HTC would leave such an inconsistency.
What ROM are you using??

Never had any cooked ROM. And I don't exactly remember if it worked on 2.1, I think it didn't. I just didn't use Twitter back then that much.

when you go to people on the bottom of the screen there is a globe icon, click on that, on that page click on twitter, that will bring up all your twitter friends, click on the one that you want and then on the sync icon, that will show you all there tweets

Yeah, I know that. It's not that this is a problem in any way to get to those Twitts. I just found it inconsistent that you can't merge them in main people's tab as easily as facebook f.e. Just thought that it might be me that got something broken.
Thanks.
I may flash a custom Gingerbread ROM a few months down the road but I'm staying stock until the hardware checks out. The only thing I don't like about Sense is it's gone and added a ton of Facebook friends with phone numbers to my contact list and I really don't want them. Is there a way to remove them? I can't seem to find a simple solution.
Thanks in advance.

I just double checked, contacts aren't being synced for Android Facebook or Sense Facebook. When I go into the contacts app (I think it's called People) I have set my 70 contacts from Facebook for Sense to not be viewed, but they still appear in the list of people to call or send messages to. I don't care if they're there, but at the least I don't want to see them. I have them hidden in contacts but they appear in Handcent and Phone anyway.
Did you ever in the past link up FB contacts to an android phone? In that case I believe it also syncs up with Google's contacts in the cloud...but I may be mistaken
Yeah this got posted a while back, I know what you mean it's annoying. It meant my phone tried to sync a ton of stuff I didn't want to my car stereo unit via Bluetooth.
Someone did post up a solution, try a search for Facebook and contacts.
This is a little off-topic, and I'm sorry if it doesn't belong here, but I am looking for some people to test out a new website I've been working on, and thought I'd look to my fellow Inc2 owners.
When I first got CM7 working on my old Fascinate, I was a little bummed that there was no way to link my Facebook contacts. So I decided to make my own tool. As of right now, it only syncs pictures, no phone numbers or anything.
I've spent a good amount of time working out the bugs, but there is a chance I missed some, so if you encounter any problems please let me know. Don't worry though, it won't mess up your Google contacts at all.
Please note that it currently DOES NOT work in Internet Explorer, due to a bug on Google's end which will hopefully be fixed soon.

Thanks!
Edit: Also I should note that this won't work on mobile browsers (can't scroll through certain lists), and you must have javascript enabled in your browser.
What are the benefits over using the Facebook App to sync contacts?
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA Premium App
Let's see, the main benefits are:
- Ability to crop and resize profile pictures
- Pictures are visible outside of just your phone, so in Gmail for instance
- No need to re-link after flashing a new rom (I always found this a pain)
- Pictures will show up everywhere on your phone. I believe if you use the Facebook app to sync, the pictures will not show up for certain apps, like messaging
- No new contacts will be added to your phone
My tool will only sync pictures, and not phone numbers or email addresses. I found it kind of annoying that the Facebook app would pull these in, but I guess that's a matter of personal preference.
As of right now, there is no automatic updating of profile pictures, but I hope to get this implemented soon.

Gave it a go. after running the program, I got an error pop up that submitted an error report. The program still worked though. It found a few of my contacts in Google that weren't matched up with my Facebook contacts.
So if I'm understanding this, now that I have my Facebook contacts linked with my Google contacts, when loading my contacts on my phone now, (after flashing a rom or doing a hard reset) my Google contacts will still have the pictures linked to them without having to go back and doing the Facebook thing all over again?

Yep, as long as you hit the upload button once you were done linking the contacts. Instead of saving the pictures on the phone, like the Facebook app does, this actually saves the pictures to your Google contacts. So when you do a reset, and sign back in to your Google account, your contact picture will be sent to your phone along with all their other information.
You do need to link all of your contacts on the website though. It doesn't recognize which ones you already have linked on your phone.
I saw the bug reports, I'll take a look and try to see what happened. Thanks for giving it a try!
Could you add the feature of ONLY syncing facebook pictures and no contact numbers? The one thing I hate about syncing facebook in my phone is the fact some people have old numbers still on FB so there are two numbers when you go to call or text someone as well as there are unwanted numbers of people.

Your contacts aren't showing up? That's strange... and no error message comes up? When you sign in and click 'Begin', how many contacts does it say you have under 'Google Contacts'?
got this error:
I'm sorry, you have encountered the following error:
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'myContact' of undefined

Hmm sorry about that. Still working out all the bugs.
I think I figured out the problem and got it fixed. Had to do with contacts that don't have names, but only email addresses. Let me know if that worked.

Could you do me a favor? Sign into the site again, and click on 'Begin'. Once the main page loads, click on the 'Comments/Questions' link at the bottom of the page, check the 'send log' checkbox, type anything in the big box, and hit send?
This will help me diagnose what's going on, and why your contacts aren't showing up. Thanks!
Zed does your website still work? The pages shows it as down.
Shoot, my server must be down. I'll take a look at it when I get some time today, sorry about that.
Alright it should be up and running now. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks!
Using Verizon 4.02, when ever I try to add facebook to "accounts and sync" under "accounts" under "people" it doesnt do anything. In short I am unable to add facebook for contacts. Even w twiter contacts syn it is saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly." Anybody having similar problems?
You can't tell me you've searched, because if you had, you'd know this is 100% known. Facebook isn't playing ball with Google's requirements to be able to have contacts sync in AOSP Android.
Use an app like HaxSync to get Facebook contacts sync.
Twitter is also well known. Its Twitter's app not being updated properly for ICS.

sorry, must be irritating when people start new threads for old stuff, I only scanned first three pages of forums, havenot used search function as I am not good with it. Once contacts are in with Haxsync can one link them with existing contacts so they use the latest facebook pictures?
bought Haxsync works great, thanks for pointing towards right direction. Only thing missing is a 4G toggle, where 4g automatically kicks in anytime phone is connected to electric outlet and off when off electric juice.

There are apps like Tasker and Locale that do that and many other things. But you could always just get a toggle widget.

It is. The thing is that FB contact sync has been broken since the later stock AOSP 2.3 builds for the Nexus S. This isn't something new.
I used to be confused over this problem too but Google told me what happened. So I used HaxSync and it worked fine. However as a perfectionist I decided not to continue using it and flashed a ROM instead (not solely for this reason of course).
