Well, when I synced my Facebook account with WP7, I saw there was a widget in the homescreen called "Me".. I didn't like it and I deleted it.. Now I want it back and I dont know where is it.. I tried syncing my FB account again, but it didn't appear.. Where I can find it?

read this, solution there
Go into the people hub, at the top of your list of contacts there should be a picture of you. Click on it and it will take you to your "Me" page. In the app bar at the bottom there is an option to pin to start.

Just long press your name in people and pin to start. sorted

Well, the account shows up, under accounts & sync in the phone settings, but I don't think it's actually syncing the contacts. None of them are showing up for me in the people app.

You didnt use the app I suggested? It shows fb contacts in the people app for me.
And the sync option of facebook was always there for me but it never worked.

Uhm... personally I don't like these limitations:
IMPORTANT:
* Facebook does not allow to export phone numbers or emails. Only names, pictures and statuses are synced.
* Facebook users have the option to block one or all apps. If they opt for that, they will be EXCLUDED from your friends list.

So I setup my facebook as an account and told it to sync everything. The problem I am having is that the pictures are not being downloaded for most contacts.
I went into the address book and selected to view just facebook contacts and 99% of people who I did not like to a contact did not have a picture. The same could be seen for people's bdays who appear in my calendar.
Anyone have a solution?
Unfortunately, it's a problem with ICS. Facebook and Google are having a bit of a pissing match, much like those between Apple and Oracle. No ICS ROM period can sync facebook pictures without jumping through some hoops.
There are solutions; look for an app called HaxSync on the market, it's a workaround but it does work.
Or as a free alternative, Friendcaster.

I knew about the facebook/google fight but I thought HTC's facebook implementation would get over it that just how alternatives like friendcaster can
try this:

its what i use. only downside is that it syncs EVERYTHING so you will have to link contacts to clean up your address book
It's been working fine for me. All of my contacts that have fb are synced and there pics are there

Contacts that have Facebook sync perfectly fine. It's the Facebook contacts, the ones that I don't have linked to my contacts, are the ones that don't have their pictures synced

I think the issue is with the HOX because it doesnt show up on Go SMS either. The only way I got it to show up was by installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Is there anything I can install or run to make my contacts pull Facebook photos and information? I installed a syncing app, but it didn't pull over anything.
i would also like to know...when i had my htc sensation it was called link...

They disabled contact information because Facebook pulled a ****ty move and listed all users as having their primary email set as [email protected]
It screwed a lot of people over.
Contact photos, not quite sure
Thanks for the heads up. The stock ROM kept all my photo's but I have aokp running now.

Hrm...maybe they fixed it. I use the "Facebook" app from Facebook itself and have it "Sync existing contacts". It sync pictures, email (the proper one, not the @facebook one) and other things from their profile (e.g. phone number).

That's odd, good of course, but still odd. I checked and all my friends main email addresses on their profile is Facebook. Although to be honest I don't know how many of them had actual email addresses listed

Guys, I'm having a hard time finding an App that syncs Facebook profile pictures in HD to my phone contacts.
Haven't found a real alternative for HaxSync yet. HaxSync works for syncing the pictures in best quality, but only as long as the phone contac is named like the Facebook contact. PicSync seems to do it the right way by letting you chose a sync by Facebook ID (means it doesn't care about changing names), but it's no HD.
Any REAL alternatives, please?

WTF? We live in the 21st century and even HTCs social hub can sync by Facebook ID and everybody is telling me that HaxSync is the ONLY way for now?
Excuse me?!
HaxSync can and does sync friends manually, even though it's a bit less than user-friendly at the moment. The next update will make it much easier
Try this

It connects by FB id... atleast that wat it claims
I've just tried contact picture sync and it seems working.
It's free and you can sync them manually in HD.
Is this what you are looking for?

Does it also sync all contact pictures by time schedule? HaxSync would be perfect if it would sync by ID and not by the stupid names.. you know how often girls change their ****ty names on Facebook - and boom, HaxSync doesn't recognize the person any longer and the conract picture catches dust. Awesome.

Are you the developer or how do you know?
Nono I'm not the developer I was just looking for something similar and found that app. But you are looking for something more "complex" if I understand correctly.

Just something HaxSync-like which keeps neatly in the background and syncs by ID on Jelly Bean. Can't be THAT hard, right?
Facebook Contact Sync is the best!! try it...is free on Play Store...:good:

Huge problem I have with this App: It does not really only sync the contacts in my phone list. I don't even want a facebook link in my contacts and I do NOT want to let Facebook import any phone contacts into the friggin' interwebz. I JUST want the goddamn picture in HD, synced by ID!

I am. Did you check out the 2.5.2 yet? It should make things way easier with its built-in contact manager.

I upgraded it - do I still need the JellyBean Workaround? And one more thing: Could you simplify the menu structure, please? I've tested all the tools mentioned in this thread.. and came back to HaxSync.
