yes there s a quick way.
1. Make sure that you've configured your facebook account at settings->my ocntact card
2. go to all all people, then choose the 3rd icon "updates and Events"
3. Use this page to all TP2 to auto search facebook contacts to match with existing contacts (this assumes taht you've synced your phone and updated your contaacts already. thsi should be done before step 1)

Yes and I have to do that 177 times, I'm just looking for a easier method.
Also there is another reality, not all of my contacts are stored in the same name as their Facebook accounts :
For example..... "Richard Mobile" as seen on my phone, but on his Facebook it shows Richard XXXX , so I must manually link the contact to facebook link.
The very best idea is to copy some files before Rom Update and then Replace these files with the new ones after the Rom Update.
I need to know which files are these ???

Mine did it one pass with minimal intervention. It knew which ones weren't synced and made it made a best-guess and presented me with a list of them all in one go.
I suspect the Facebook integration is done via a hidden field in the Contact. If you can determine that you can reset it to force it.
just backup your facebookinfo.vol and pim.vol. Tried it and works.

This sounds interesting, can you confirm all contacts linked perfectly and updating correctly as it should do ?
facebook
I Don't even have anything to show a link with facebook in my people tab. On other HTC phones I have seen an "updates and events" tab, should this be present on the TP2?
I would like to retrieve the details from my Facebook frields list etc, but I can't see anyway of doing this in the people tab

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.
Hello,
Just wanted to use the Gingerbread custom ROM, which worked the best for me on my phone, however after some time of using HTC Desire with original ROM(Or later from ReflexTSense) I got pretty much used to the PEOPLE application, which links contacts from Facebook and Gmail together, now when I install the Gingerbread ROM, I do really miss this application. Is there somewhere application that does the same thing? Or better, is this application available for Gingerbread somehow? I tried to look, but no luck as of yet.
Thanks for replys
I'm using Oxygen 2.0 RC7 which I think has the standard Gingerbread contacts app. There is a way to link accounts but it is not as obvious... Here's how when viewing a contact...
Menu > Edit Contact > Menu > Join
Doesnt work, Installed REDUX ROM (RC6) go to contacts, hit menu button, and then theres button 'accounts' so I click that and then I have two accounts, Gmail and Facebook in there, both of them are synced, but Facebook contacts wont shop up in my list

you read his responce wrong. you need to be IN the contacts info, then follow what he said.. Menu > Edit Contact > press Menu Again > and click Join.. this will then bring up your list off all your contacts on your phone.. you can join as many as you like by following the procedure again.
If your problem is that your Facebook contacts arent showing up.. that is a different problem all together.. You need to go into your Accounts and Sync settings, choose your FB account, and check Sync Contacts.. In the FB app, you need to goto Settings, and at the very bottom is Sync Contacts, set it to ALL. Next time your phone sync's it'll add all your contacts and their info, you can then follow the previous instructions to link them.
This was weird, I had done it just as you said earlier as well, and it didnt show up, so I went step by step and followed what you wrote, and kaboom, my contacts are there... brilliant, thank you

And here goes another one, I'd like to sync calendar with facebook birthdays, just like its on sense calendar... any tips?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Unfortunately, that you can't do. You need a seperate app for that.. there are a couple on the market. Alternatively, if you have a yahoo account you can log into that, import everything from fb including birthdays.. then log into google contacts ands import it from yahoo and it will take the bdays
Those are the only ways I've found at least..

Do you have some app that you could recomend? I dont have yahoo account, but guess, that if I wont get any other choice, I'll create one...

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.

From what I understand, that's all it does, just the pictures.

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.
It says I have 0 google contacts -.- i just synced my google contacts on my phone

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!
hi, i wanted to know how can I enable or why my whatsapp is not showing me the pictures of my contacts, I have all my contacts on my google account, none on the phone, and none on the sim card, and a lot of the are linked to facebook, twitter, etc.
and if you look at contacts all of them show the pictures, but in whatsapp only a few show the pictures of the contacts
any solution?
Probably you are not able to see Facebook contact photos in whatsapp. There were allowed to be "pulled" in Sense 3.0 but in Sense above this version they are not shown.
There are few solutions:
1. If you have a rooted phone you can try Photo Unlocker application, sadly, it has been pulled out from the market so you would need to search XDA for it.
2. You can use HaxSync to sync the pictures from Facebook and they would show normally. Alternative app is called Friend Caster.
3. People say there was an update to Whatsapp recently (can't see any on the market to be honest just now) which enables it.
After synchronizing your contacts with facebook, use photounlocker to unlock the restriction on facebook contacts.
1- open app
2- press check, it will ask for root permissions
3- press check again
4- press unlock
Done
Enjoy

Thank you very much. i was looking everywhere for this fix.
if on sense, facebook for htc sense is needed and it will synchronise you friends photos from fb
on Aosp you need to manually add a picture to each contsct you have, but this process you do it once in s liftime and whatever the rom you will be using your contacts photo will remain on any google phone
amazing app ... worked like magic thnx
