Facebook and sycning single contact?

What i mainly want is the facebook pic to show up for certain contacts in my phone. When i sync facebook, it starts syncing all contacts from facebook into my phone and putting them into my phonebook which i don't want.
Is there a way to just choose specific contacts in my phone and sync only those to facebook rather than FB syncing every single contact?

I haven't seen anything that will let you select a group of contacts to sync, but there is an option in the app "Sync with existing contacts: Sync data only about friends already in Contacts."
Hope that helps.

[Q] Desire Z - The linked contacts don't show up when trying to add to groups

I think the title says it all.
I have all my Outlook contacts synced with the phone (so they are phone contacts). Some of the phone contacts are also linked with Facebook for HTC Sense, some with Peep, and some with both. I only chose to show the Phone contacts in the People app, so the contacts from Peep or Facebook that are not also in Phone/Outlook won't show up. This is ok and I have all the contacts I need in People/All Contacts.
The trouble starts when I want to add contacts to groups. I can only choose from contacts that are not linked with Facebook/Peep. Those "Phone" contacts that have Facebook accounts won't show up. Of course, I can manually go to each contact, edit them and add them to groups. But it'll take a long time and I'm too lazy to do that.
Any idea why they don't show up when I try to add them from groups? Is it a bug?

This has been fixed in the last system update.

[Q] Sync Facebook details with Contacts in Oxygen 2.0 RC7?

Well? I have synced all my contacts through my account, I didn't use Titanium backup. Is there a way to sync things like Photos, birthdays into the calendar and such? I see that the facebook app does allow it but it doesn't work

You can sync your Facebook contacts with your phone contacts. If they don't link, just go into the phone contact and press Menu > Join and select the right one. You can do it manually by filling all the info out of the phone contact.

Cheers dude i just tried that and although slow as hell, i put all the main contacts i wanted to sync in Favorites and did it that way...thanks again

problems in HTC facebook sense

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.

Contact Photos Not Showing in GoSMS Messaging App

I setup Facebook to sync contacts (of only existing contacts) and it pulled photos in more many of my contacts. However in GoSMS or stock messaging, it doesn't get any of the photos. I've seen a wide variety of proposed fixes. Looking for the 'cleanest' fix. I went into Settings > Accounts & Sync and saw I could add an additional Facebook account type called 'Facebook Sync' (which I think is so you can sync your Samsung Calendar and Photos without intalling the Facebook app) so now I have my Facebook account listed twice. I don't really want my Facebook Gallery photos synced and don't really use my Facebook calendar. So I'm guessing that second account type is unnecessary.
Here are the solutions I've come across. Would be good to leave a definitive solution thread here on Phandroid for others. I've yet to try any of these.
a) Use Friendcaster
b) Use Haxsync
c)
1. Delete Facebook from Accounts and Sync
2. Install Facebook Contact Sync
3. Sync Facebook Contact Sync
4. Wait until it completes (can take a long time)
5. Open Facebook, it will prompt you for what you want to sync. Select don't sync
d) Switch Contacts to display from the SIM card, and remove the SIM card entries one by one. The images in other sources should appear in both GoSMS Pro and the stock Messaging application. (detailed instructions anyone?)
