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!

Remove all facebook account and sync from phone...
Remove anything related to xperia in facebook app...
Restart phone, re-log and resync facebook account on phone.
That should fix the problem.

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!?!!

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!

Contacts

I dont wanna try it but if i format system from CWM do i lose contacts/joined ?
You will lose your contacts (and all other data) if you format system. If they are backed up by google though, all you have to do is sync contacts when you sign in on your google account and they will come back.
Is a pain if u also have them saved to sim. Cuz it will double up contacts. Its tedious to do but worth every bit of the time invested in order to get a clean flash. It just how I do it. Just my opinion

I save all my contacts to my Google account. None of them are on my phone or sim card so there's no chance of losing my contacts. I can even see/edit them on google.com/contacts

Reason I do it both ways is in the event I was hacked on my goggle. It happens just like any site. Everything is vulnerable to attacks so I rather not take no chances. Just being safe I guess.

If you have the same contacts on both sim and google, you can "display" only one or the other in the contacts app so it doesn't show double.

I guess is just the way I synch it. I open all my emails and such all of them. Just like having all my contacts handy. Is just personal preference.

Am also backed up to google. But when u sync u lose the joined contacts from facebook account ... its the pain in the ass to rejoin them everytime

I agree joining contacts is a pain in the ass, wish there was an easier way:-(

I solved the sync issue with contacts and birthday's calendar between ICS AND Facebook with haxsync from the play store. Works like a charm

true, i use it too nice app, but the problem is u still have to join ppl that u name different from facebook
It has a fuzziness setting that it worked pretty good for me. Also the option to create HTCData links in your google account as a backup for restore

I'm having an issue where once contacts are joint, I lose the google name and it defaults to their facebook name.
This is really annoying for people who don't use their real names on facebook...
Is there something I'm missing where I can default it to the google contact name?

[Q] Restoring contacts (Help?)

So, I was rooting my brother's girlfriend's phone. I flashed CWM, backed up the 2.3.6 FC09 data including her contacts. I then flashed Paranoid JD Rom and forgot to make a contact backup. Is there any way to get those contacts back? Can I use odin to revert to stock, then flash CWM, restore the backup, then acquire the contacts that way? Will that work?
Thanks for the response, guys. <3
Yes. Why were they not saved to Google? Then whenever you log in on a new ROM or new phone all the contacts come back. When you have them back you can export them to your sd card then import them on the new ROM.

I flashed GApps but with my phone (TMobile G2x), I never have to sync contacts through GMail manually; after connecting my Google account, my contacts sync automatically. I figured this was the same. I will try that and let you know. Thanks for the speedy response!
Did she save the contacts on Google or did she choose phone storage?

I'm not entirely sure. Knowing her, probably phone storage.e

Then you should restore the old ROM and export the contacts then import on the new ROM.

[Q] how to delete phone numbers from google account?

hi people in previous month my cousin has inserted her SIM card in my phone so all her numbers saved to my phone book and then to Google account, i was thinking that i can use phone and just ignore those phone numbers but after some time they started annoy me. I deleted them and when i connect to wi-fi they appear in my phone again. I can't off contact sync because I'm always testing my new ROMs ( if I turn it off there wont be any contacts anymore). I searched lots of forums but doesn't found anything about it. Do you have any ideas about it?
You can do it from your gmail account

can you tell me where exactly you found it?
If i remember correctly there should be a tab called contacts on the main page after you login. Was it the upper left corner?
