Hi guys,
first of all i'm sorry for my english, but it's not my first language.
I've a issue with the syncronization of the facebook contacts with the default address book of my wildfire.
I installed the facebook app, and i set it to syncronize all the contacts by facebook-settings-sincronize...
Now in the addressbook i see all my facebook contacts, all my gmail contacts, but only gmail contacts with a pic loaded on gmail have a pic on the address book.
So the great part of the contacts haven't a pic.
How can i do?
I'm using the last cyano nightly.
Please don't suggest me to use SyncMyPix, i don't like that app, it makes my address book too much slow.
I want a "clean" solution. Before i flashed my Wildfire, with the stock ROM, i visualized all the pics =/
you could try this app from the market it works well. you can sync ur contacts photos from facebook..

Thank you very much for the reply, but few hours ago i solved my issue installing FriendCaster for Facebook. However thanks
your welcome..
how does friendcaster work? syncs the existing contacts only or all?
It works great! It syncs all contacts and you can also use HQ pics. Try it and told me what do you think
I've recently had this problem, only a few contact images were visible after syncing using the Facebook app. For me, it seemed that the photos which were synched were the ones which you have previously loaded up on the Facebook app.
I got around the problem by clicking onto my friends list within the Facebook app, and scrolling through the list waiting for each of the profile pictures to load up. Once I'd got to the bottom of the list I went back to contacts on the phone all of the images were visible!
Slightly strange workaround but now all my contact images are visible and they all update as they should.
try reinstalling it

Hi.
Ive been trying to sync my contacts from my phone to my gmail for a few days now.
It syncs without any errors. but when i check my gmail i only have the 64 email contacs i had b4 imade the sync.
also if i check the people tab in the phone the 64 email contacts are also shown there but none of my phone contacts..
I think i should have everything setup right, in the gmail sync the contacts thing is checked and everything..
Anyone know what could be wrong? been syncing few times a day to see if it got any better...
Sorry for my bad english.
Can it go both ways? I thought it was from Gmail to phone, but not back?
hmm i tought both ways? :S

Hmmm, mine has just started having this issue. I could sync from the phone to google contacts a couple of days ago however now even when creating a google contact on the phone its not appearing in the gmail website contacts list
Edit:
Seems to be syncing now >_<
Ok i exported all my contacts to windows contacts, then exported them from there and then imported them to Gmail.
Thanks for helping me understand what was going on here
Does Anyone have multiples contacts being created and linked every single time the app initiates a sync. So for example under Joe smith it would create a contact named com.facebook.auth.login under joe smith. And this is created everytime it syncs, so overnight i had about 5 for each contact. It also doesnt pull the picture for each contact. is this just me?
seeing the same behavior here
Same thing here

additional information
I will add a few things in case my configuration is similar to others:
I am running DC 3.5 and have banned:
DCUpdater
SprintTV
SprintNFL
SprintNascar
Sprint VVM
Twitter
Facebook
Friendstream
I then installed the market versions of Facebook and Twitter. Everything seems to work perfectly except the Facebook contact Sync. I am getting duplicate entries and profile photos are not being sync'd in.
It did that to me also. The new update IMHO is crap. I uninstalled it and went back to the old version.
I just turned the contact sync off for now. What I would really like is just a way to sync photos and contact info straight into my gmail address book.
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.

so i have now oxygen gingerbread and the pictures dont sync like it was on froyo
so i download the app "syncmypix" and it should have done the job but again it only did the job for 50 pictures out of 560 people
so i need another app
so...
can someone give a good app that does the job properly????
You tried the official Facebook app?
yep
it doesnt work
The Facebook app works fine, I've been using it for a while now and have their FB profile pics as contacts (even changes when they change theirs on FB). You just have to make sure you have BOTH the facebook app AND your accounts and sync settings turned on and set to sync all contacts. If the names dont match up from FB with your contacts 100% it wont auto associate them, and you have to do it manually. Once you associate the FB and contact, it will use the FB pic by default (which sux cause if you have google contact pics setup, it still favours FB's).. If for some reason you have the contacts sync'd and it still isnt showing up, edit the contact, long press there FB profile pic under there FB Profile portion, and choose Use this photo.
Edit: BTW when I first went through and merged ALL my conacts from google/Facebook/Yahoo, I was using Oxygen as my main ROM.. I just started using the CM7 Nightlies ~16, but once you get it all setup, it now sync's properly EVERYTIME I reflash... and it took beautifully when I switched from Oxygen to CM7.. no probs whatsoever
I have a problem on the photo sync with the facebook. Some contacts are automatically sync with the facebook once I have login thro the facebook apps and the HTC sense friendstrem. In the sms apps (original one), the photos of the contacts are linked, but many of them are missed even I have sync with fb. I need to manually solve it by editing the contacts are save it, then the photos with come out. However, may be 1 or 2days later, the photos are missed again, I need to manually do it again. May I know how to solve it? Is it my problem only? thx!!
Set facebook in settings to "sync all contacts." Then go to the settings of your phone>accounts & sync>and add account for facebook. Now sync contacts. When the name the contact in the phone does not "fit" to the name of this contact in facebook, you have to join them yourself:
Choose the corresponding accout>menu>edit contact>menu>join. Now choose the corresponding contact in facebook.
So i do it and all works fine.
Hope this could help you.
