I haven't found anything on this as common so hopefully im not stuck. Facebook will not sync via account t syncing to phone. When I choose Facebook for account syncing, the window backs up to the main account screen where it shows the accounts that are on.
Any info, issues that I'm aware of? Stock kernel, up to date gapps, tried cache clear.. no results. Thanks guys

Have you tried deleting the Facebook app and then reinstalling it? It had worked for me in the past. Also, condemnedsoul had a cm 7.2 kang that I've been using for a few weeks now... best rom I've used to date. Its in the development forum... syncs perfectly with fb.

I have similar issues with CM7 and Facebook contacts syncing. When FB initially syncs with my phone, it syncs current profile pictures of my friends to my contacts list. As they change profile pictures, the pictures shown in my contacts list never change. I found the only fix was to clear cache+data in Facebook and then log in again.
As far as i can tell, thats not an issue.. that's just how it works since the last big fb update. I just chose to assign pics for my contacts.

I would like to find out if there's an app for syncing my phone contacts with their fb accounts? I'm on Mod Version: cyanogenmod7-09292011-NIGHTLY-inc2. Thanks
I think you should be able to use the official facebook app. When you install that, the first time you run it it asks you if you want to import your facebook contacts.
Not sure though, I haven't installed it recently.
Thanks, but I think its because I'm still using nightly builds of cm7 without the 3.0 sense I'm not able to link contacts via fb.

Uhh...no. that shouldn't be it. I've used cyanogen. The contacts automatically link for me usually, just by me clicking "Sync with existing contacts."

Ditto, it does the same for me. There is an app on the market called SyncMyPix which does this if you can't get the FB sync to work right.

Sense uses Facebook for HTC Sense which does this.
On CM7 just sync within facebook app.
Easy as pie. If you are having issues then clear data within app and reinstall. You should be able to get it to work on first shot.
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?

Hey all,
What I'm looking for sounds simple to me, but seems to be a challenge.
I want to sync facebook, now you will say haxsync or friend caster, but they don't sync phone numbers. I'm looking for a way to make the stock Facebook app sync with the phone
Thanks
Only way is to use a rom that allows you to flash a facebook sync mod like this where it enables it on the rom or has it already built in.
Its taken out of the stock rom thats why everyone recommends HaxSync, I'm sure you already know this but adding a Facebook account on the stock rom doesn't do anything.

Try Contapps in the market... it syncs with Facebook and if there are those that don't sync (different spelling, etc.) then you can manually link them to whatever contacts to facebook friends...
i was looking for this as well and i came across this thread for ICS FB sync. it worked for me! (but u should backup first, just in case)

That ROM is for ICS..will the mod work for stock JB?

So this past weekend i rooted my phone using cf autoroot and Odin. I sucessfully rooted my phone and then flashed Cyangoen Mod 10.1.2 onto my phone with no problems what so ever. Everything went very smoothly and had no hiccups along the way. The only thing that i have noticed is that my facebook contact pictures have not synced up with my phone's contact list. I went into the facebook settings and made sure that the contact sync option was selected. Even after i had hit Sync the photos were not showing up for the contacts. I am doing something wrong here? Or did i miss a simple step that should have been done? I am not sure if cyanogen mod supports this or not, but any and all help is greatly appreciated!!
You'll have to use something like Friendcaster or Ubersync or use a rom with the fix built in (e.x. Rootbox). If you search you can find a flashable fix, but it wouldn't work for me when I was trying CM.

I use HaxSync. Syncs contacts, calendar, everything. Bought the $.99 paid version. Haven't had a problem.

I would highly reccomend Ubersync. Works great!!

I downloaded a great app called Smoothsync for Icloud that allowed my droid calender to sync with my icloud.com calender. However, since using it on my Note 3 my icloud account for Smoothsync keeps disapearing . I have to keep going into Accounts and adding this account all the time. Any ideas on what it could be please? thanks.

Same here.
Go back to the play store and look at that devs other apps.
You'll see a 'JB fix' app for a bunch of apple progs. Select the calendar one and install.
It will fix this problem.
Great app BTW. Works beautifully.
