The HTC contact list is a great way to sync Facebook profile picture with the phonebook's. It even syncs birthdays, but why don't it sync the email addresses and the phone numbers?
It would be great if there's an app to do that so that I don't have to manually enter all those email addresses into my contact list!
a very simple use of the search, or even read the frontpage if xda would show that theres an app that does exactly that.

Has anyone found a way to sync contacts's pictures and birthdays from facebook like we used to do on the htc contacts tab ? The roms i was using on my HD2, had the option to link a contact with its facebook profile, and automatically update pictures and stuff.
Anyone ?
install full screen called ID. it has a sync facebook option. that's how i've done it.
Download the Facebook app and set it to sync contacts. Most of them should be joined automatically to your existing contacts where the names are the same, and you can manually join the rest from the menu when you're editing a contact.
Pro tip: join from the entry you want to take precedence for name display purposes.
Allright both are acceptable solutions.
But what if i install another rom ? Do i have to do that again or i will have the photos as soon as i sync my fb and my gmail ?
uhm guys ? noone ?
login to your FB account from the app u downloaded. Go into the options menu and sync FB contacts.
Is there a way for facebook to sync ALL of my existing contacts because the Facebook app only syncs one or two contacts with the picture and email, and extended contact info. This would help sooo much.

Open the Facebook app, press menu, sync contacts, sync all
I am looking for a Calender App that will sync with Gmail Calender. What I would like it to do specifically is allow me to add a pre-defined group of email addresses in the Guests column for the invite. Right now, I have to manually add each contact. And suggestions? I'm using Nexux S and the Cal. app on there won't allow me to add a contact with all of the contacts emails addresses(only puts one email address from the contact).
Not pretty sure, but I guess Business Calendar will do the job...

Hi All
My calendar is currently displaying all the birthdays from FB contacts, but i would also like it to display birthdays of contacts who aren't on FB. Can this be done and if so how?
Thanks

I add in manually the birthdays of the contacts I want. Hit edit and there should a spot for it, or at least a area for notes (put the birthday there) I've only just gotten my Sensation but on my Nexus S and Nexus One there is an entry for birthdays. Sorry if that isn't what you were looking for.

It's been my experience that if you sync with outlook & you have a birthday listed on a contact it'll sync to the calendar too.

Most of my contacts are sync from FB and the calendar displays the birthdays in FB. However i have a few contacts who don't have FB pages and i have entered their birthdays in manually in the people app. My calendar automatically displays the birthdays of my FB contacts but not the birthdays of people without FB that i have manually entered in the people app. I don't have any birthdays in my gmail and i haven't sync to my outlook as that is my work email and have no birthdays on there either. So i want the birthdays i have manually entered in the people app to display in my calendar. Can this be done automatically or do i have to enter each one manually.
Not sure if you have seen my other post, but when i enter birthdays in manually in the people app it doesn't display the correct day. For example if i manually enter 14th July 1965 and save the contact, i then displays 15th July 1965. So it's always a day ahead.

It works for me too. However, if I create the Contact on the phone with birthday included and then sync with Outlook, the contact will be created on Outlook, but w/o the birthday and will thus neither show the birthday on Outlook Calendar nor on the Phone Calendar.
Very strange.

interesting. I guess I should've stated that was when using WM, haven't tried it on Android like that. Good to know. I'll have to test this as well.
hi guys, anyone know how to sync only facebook photo to phone contact, rather than whole facebook contact?
this is the problem i encounter:
when i tab on the TO: list in messaging and type in my friend's name, it will show a replica of number (ie number from phone contact, and number from facebook contact). And the worst part is some of the number from facebook contact are wrong.
can anyone help?
thanks in advance.
is something like this what youre looking for?

thanks aagvain, i forgot something, previously i sync with my facebook account, and am able to get all the email address as well.
so i have to either add in the email via gmail one by one and sync gmail, or is there any other alternative?
thanks a lot
just an update, i've solved my problem.
i've installed google contact sync and it will only sync facebook photo.
the downside is it doesn't sync the email, so i have to manually input.
