[Q] Nexus S Facebook Contact Syncing Problem - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My facebook contact pictures were linked to my contacts on my phone but after the latest upgrade the contacts are no longer linked. And on top of that under the contact it no longer even shows that facebook is available. Anyone know how to fix this??

If you are on stock 2.3.3 ... facebook contact sync is removed.

Google removed this feature on the latest update. Read the engadget article for details.

Outdated facebook picture in people contact list

As title.
I can't seems to get the latest facebook profile pic for my contacts listed in the People application.
I tried clear the cache for People and Facebook for HTC Sense in the application settings but to no avail.
I am able to get their latest contact number and facebook status message.
Is there a way to manually update the picture?
Please advise.
I have the same problem.
The only solution I found is that I delete the account "Facebook for HTC Sence" and I re added it. This way I force the Sense to synchronize itself with the latest pictures.
Thanks, it works, though the sync take quite a while.
just go into the gallery, switch to Facebook and then update after pressing menu
Only problem I got is that MY pic is not really syncing..
I use an app called syncmypix

Thanks for more suggestion
What may help, before syncing your contacts with HTC Sense Facebook, ensure that "People --> View --> Only contacts with phone numbers" is unchecked!!!
For some reason, when syncing contacts, this option comes into play.

[Q] Facebook and Contact List

My facebook contacts no longer sync with my contact list. Gone are all of my pictures on my contact list. in settings i went to the Accounts and Sync and tried to add account but when i hit the facebook icon it just backs to the previous screen. how can i fix this?
Get the Facebook app, that creates a new account in the OS

should be noted that for it to work correctly you have to have the same name in your contacts list as it shows on their facebook.
and also i believe there is a privacy setting on facebook that allows users to block the facebook app from pulling information
had facebook app installed but ended up removing it and reinstalling it and now it works like it used to. contacts all have pics with them now

[Q] sync facebook contacts?

coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

I wonder what I did differently because mine all synced and are running perfectly.
The pics show up in contacts, phonecalls, and texts...
Mine is also working fine. All contacts synced and photos showing for everyone.

The names have to match up mostly.. If not, edit contact> join> find contact.
I had the same issue.
I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

google did it
face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

Facebook sync works just fine in froyo. It was only removed on the latest update of gingerbread and it is not yet fixed.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

thanks for this app.. never heard of it till i saw u post the name of it here. works great on my g2x running gingerbread
slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] How do I "bake" Facebook info into my Google Contacts?

I want to "bake" my facebook info that the HTC app has downloaded into my contacts. This means when I access the contacts from Google or I disconnect the Facebook app, I want the Facebook info to still be there.
How do I do this?
Thanks

Does anyone know the answer to this?
I also want to add: I want to combine facebook, twitter and skype users with my google contacts. I have duplicates in file and it is bugging me...
When you sync your phone with Facebook (twitter,ect.) Wait until it is finished. Then goto contacts->soft menu->import/export->let it do its thang. That's hoe I did it! Hope it works guys!!

No, unfortunately it hasn't. I can not touch the contacts created with twitter or skype or facebook. How could I merge them?

Friend stream widget with ICS on sensation

I recently got the ICS and Sense 3.6 update on my sensation. After update two things happened regarding facebook. First all my contacts which were linked to facebook started showing their previous pictures, i had to delink the contact and then relink to fb contact and only after this they started showing latest facebook profile pictures.
Secondly my friend stream widget no longer updates, even when i tap the update option it just keeps on updating and never updates.
Has anyone else faced similar issues with ICS and facebook on sensation ?
I have similar problem, after ics ota update my contact were linked with fb, wich i dislike, but i managed to get rid of it...
But problem is that now some contacts in messagging (sms) are linked with fb (but not in phonebook contacts aka people)...also searching in messaging searches through fb contacts too...very annoying...
To make things worse, i have for same person contact with one name in people app (nickname given by me) and another name (given by the person on fb) in massaging app :/ arghh
Hope it makes sense (oh the irony)...not to mention that htc sense app got aproved by itself on fb...
Help anyone? How to unlink fb contacts in messaging app only (not in the people app because i did that already)...
Thx
