Let me ask you something, did the other contacts that you had sync just fine? I also want to ask if you know that you might just syncing with YOUR phone contacts, there's an option there to sync all or just sync your phone contacts. If you sync all then it should bring this new facebook contact into your phone app but if you just sync with your phone contacts then whatever you inputed yourself is going to replace the picture and add their email/facebook profile....nothing more, nothing less.
Try this....uninstall your facebook app by either going into your settings/applications and doing it that way or if is installed in your system/app directory then use root explorer and delete the entire app that way. REBOOT....then go into the market, download facebook once again. Now go to settings/accounts & sync and make sure you got your settings to syncing automatically.........NOW, go and open your facebook app and make sure when you log in that you click sync all or whatever is called...don't have my phone next to me so I'm going off of memory here..lol....Now wait a couple of seconds while your phone syncs and your new facebook buddy should be in your phone app.
Hope this has help, if it did then hit the THANKS button if it didn't....at least I tried! GOOD LUCK!!!
I uninstalled htc facebook and after a reboot and redownloading facebook I cannot add an account again. I think I did something wrong. Can I get htc facebook back?

Something weird is going on. For some reason, I am unable to link certain friends' contact information with Facebook (Sense). I'd say 95% of my contacts are syncing fine where their information and pictures are updated through their Facebook profiles. However, I noticed that about 5 of them aren't listed on the Facebook link search list: even though they're on my Facebook app friend list.
What could it be? Is there a setting in Facebook that doesn't allow this information to be synced to people's phones?! Only thing I figured it could be.
Thanks in advance...
Nobody can relate?!
Yep. I have one who I cannot link. He has the highest level of privacy on his account vs. the rest of my friends. So I am pretty certain it is a security setting. Not sure which one though.

Gotcha. I guess it makes sense. Alright then. Thanks for the help!
I imported my contacts from a save file on my sd card recently, and noticed some contacts not syncing with facebook.
Later in the day I checked it again and they were synced fine. No idea why it was like this. I stored my contacts through google, and not to my phone.
Weird. The thing is, with my, it's only like 5 contacts out of the hundreds that are syncing fine. It's been months too and they're still not linked. I guess there's a setting on Facebook for that.
i'm having a similar issue, although my phone is an HD2. but there are some facebook contacts that will not be available for me to sync them with my phone contacts. and even i add more friends to my facebook profile, when trying to sync the contact, it only shows 53 facebook contacts. even though more friends were added recently. any ideas?
I have cm6 and downloaded Facebook. I don't have last names but 30% get linked. I just want their pics on contacts. I downloaded I used syncmypix app from appbrain which I'm sure is in the market. Does Facebook sync for pics. Got all of them on there. It will attempt to sync them. After and if it doesn't do all of them go to results. Will show the list of friends and who's picture worked. You can go through and if there is no pic next to the name and is on your phone contacts, click their name.. it will pull the pic from Facebook. Hit the back button to to exit pic and press and hold on their name. Will bring you to your phone contacts. Scroll and click. Bam you synced their pic. It will ask to crop or skip.

I love my Evo but one problem I seem to have is getting my pictures from my people to match their current Facebook picture. When I originally linked all the contacts in my people it was correct to their pictures at the time but that was 2 months ago. Now, everyones picture is still the same as it was back then even though I go to accounts->sync every day and have it on auto sync for every 4 hours. Does anyone know how to fix this bug on my phone? I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
I've done it by selecting settings, applications, manage applications, all tab, then select contacts storage and clear data... now your contacts must be backed up on google otherwise you'll lose all your contacts.. and just sync, sync sync
sorry for the noob response but how do i back them up with google?

If your contacts are created in your google account, meaning if you can log into gmail on your computer and your contacts are there, then they are already backed up.
If you create contacts on the internal phone storage, you are sol.
Go to people and hit menu and choose import/export. Back up the contacts that are on the internal phone storage to your sd card. Open up gmail in your pc browser and import those contacts to your gmail contacts, using the file that you backed up to the card.
Or what you can do is go to settings, accounts & sync and select facebook for htc sense, remove account, the add the account back

okay i did that and now only like 1/4th of my people have the little FB icon on the bottom left and only the people with the icon have statuses under their name. Also, when I try to link the people without the facebook icon, that person's name will not be on the list but if i choose someone else to link that first person's name is there. sorry if im confusing you guys haha I know its something small I just like to have everything right on my phone.
Wow people here are doing this the hard way. There is a facebook picture app that syncs your FB contacts picture. The other way is to just log out of facebook AND AND AND AND AND facebook for htc sense. then just log back into them both. easy as pie.
This is so annoying!!! I logged into the facebook app on my evo and now when I try to open my contacts, they're bogged with all these contacts from facebook. IS there a way to remove them without logging out of your facebook?
Please Help!
Thanks

Yea go to people hit menu view and then uncheck facebook. Lol that happened to me when I first synced fb I have 4998 friends imagine that lol
if you want to remove them totally, not just hide them do this:
Set Facebook to NOT import your contacts, go to applications, manage applications, all. then scroll down untill you see contact storage, then clear cache and wipe data. this will clear EVERY contact on your phone, then back out of that and go to accounts and sync then make sure your google acct is syncing and it will reload all of your google contacts. Presto no more FB contacts.
WARNING, this will erase ALL of your contacts, so you WILL lose everything that is in Phone also, so make sure all your contacts are backed up to google or a vcf.
Ok sorry but somebody would wipe everything without being backed up to google ...
Course if you just want to hide em, what nuggy said.
Hey guys/gals,
I have facebook on the Evo and the Sync Contact menu/button is missing. I really do not know where to go from here. Any help?
delete the facebook account and then uninstall all updates and clear data through manage applications (a little extra to do but just to make sure) then reinstall the facebook app and under sync add an account under facebook for htc sense..
not facebook..
make sure its the htc sense facebook.
that happened to meit wouldnt sync.. so maybe itll work for you.
: (
I already did that, and still no "Sync Contact" button. its so weird...I dunno thanks for the reply though.
Anybody else have suggestions?
-ROCK CHALK
ummm... try reflashing it??
its not in the facebook app. go to settings, accounts and sync, and hit add account. should be self explanitory from here.
then go to the contacts (people) app, hit menu, view, and check facebook for htc sense.
do the dance.
I like to have my contacts to have their Facebook profile pictures but, I don't want to have all my Facebook contacts on my phone. I have selected to only sync with current contacts. But, it still puts all of my Facebook friends on my phone. It wouldn't be a problem since under "People" I can select to see only "google contacts" but, they are there when I open my "Dialer" on my phone. It used to just sync with my phone contacts and wouldn't put all of them on my phone. This is highly annoying because it used to work when I got my evo last summer. Anyone have any advice to sync my current contacts with out all of my Facebook contacts being synced? Thanks!
Go into People. Then hit Menu, click view. At the bottom, uncheck Facebook contacts and they'll disappear. One other thing that you can do if you use your gmail for contacts as well as email is check "only with phone number. There are lots of other options in there.
Yeah tried it but they still show up and I still have to sort and search for my real contacts in the dialer. Guess ill just have to deal with it. Thanks for the help tho
