Try logging out and logging in again. And then select 'sync with existing contacts' when prompted.

Have done that

Try to reinstall the app and sync the contacts again.

try to join contact

Tried both of those opinions

Are your contacts local stored or synchronized via exchange or something similar?

I have same experience on my ArcS with different roms tried (arconium, xperia mod)
DooMKernel v15, Baseband -64, Firmwares .62
All my actions below are no luck...
1) Tried install/ remove either Facebook inside Xperia or Facebook
2) Reset Join/ Separate
3) Contacts are at Google account (Contacts in phone are also tried)
4) Contact names 100% match to Facebook or partially matched
In contact page, it has a note "Facebook contact information is not editable on this device"
Any ideas?

Comes due unlocking the bootloader I guess.
I just see the birthday now and before bootloader unlocking I had their pic and other information synced, too.

I finally solve.
Delete the facebook apps in system/app by root explorer, then download and install facebook app from market.
Thanks all your minds!

Contact picture sync

So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..

Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!

If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

ICS-Offline charging + FB Contact Pictures

Hello,
I have an Arc S (LT18i) - unlocked + rooted
And now on ICS (Stock UK Version)the phone do not charge the battery while phone is power off.
Also Facebook Contact pictures are not shown in the dialer or Phone book.
On Gingerbread all works fine, but now on ICS not.
Is there a chance to solve that problems???

Anybody help please!?!!
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

Facebook contact sync doesnt work in ICS, something about permissions I think
I use this app to sync pictures, works perfectly for me
Search for Facebook contact sync on the market its free.

The charger problem is because of the root process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...+this+one+for+me+and+test+if+it+works&page=27
download the file on the third post, and replace the files on your phone, and voila.
It worked for me

Thank you! It worked fine!
Phone charges now in power off mode, and fb-contacts issue is gone by itself!

Facebook not syncing photos with contacts

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched, which is useless with the xda app and did not find anything. Has anyone else had issue with Facebook contact photos not syncing with contacts in address book?

Did you check the sync settings for facebook and select "sync with contacts"?

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.

Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!

Hello, i have the same problem.. Facebook and those work. But Gmail doesnt work.. unless i open the app manually.
First go to settings/app manager/all apps/ Gmail, Show Notifications must be checked.
And Sync must be on.. check sync options for gmail and the other not working stuff. this happened to me when i updated Gmail.. not facing any problems with other apps.
Give me a Thanks Button If I Helped!
