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.

Its what I did, however its when I receive a call or text message the fb pic doesn't show, its still blank.

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.

One of my biggest issues with going to a nonsense Rom(cm6nightly) was the fact that it didn't sync well with Facebook contact profiles. (at least I didn't see or I'm doing something wrong)
But nonetheless, I found an awesome app called "syncmypix".
Check it out. It works great.
Heh? Mine synced everything just fine. It even paired facebook contacts with google contacts. What rom are you running?
Sync my pic didn't work for me, it actually caused my phone problems.
I am running Nightly 29 and I am also having a problem with facebook sync. It syncs, but then facebook craps out and I have to uninstall and reinstall to get the pics back. They don't last long though.
I need to search for a new solution...
Check out the hacked Facebook.apk topic. Searching is fun!

That hacked .apk doesn't sync facebook contact pics though does it? I thought it only synced contact info, which no you do not need syncmypix for. I am using the app with CM6 RC1 at the moment and it has worked great for me. Now of course we have Sense on 2.2 so this may no longer be needed unless you run AOSP like CM6.
The hacked facebook sync or rather allow you to use facebook pix just fine. Although you have to do a little work like manually pick the pics when edit the contact info.
So only issue I have with this phone so far is that none of my Contacts Pics show in the messaging app. My contact pics are all there in Contacts though. I tried hard resetting and setting up the phone again and it didn't fix it....so I'm stumped. Anyone out there having same issue or know how to fix it?

In the stock message apparently specifically though, bullseye69?.. Not just your phone contacts list? I seem to be having issues with contact pics not showing up in various Google apps (gTalk for example) while everything seems to be syncing fine.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
the only contacts in messaging app that appear are the ones that have their google accounts synced with a picture
My contact pics are good in stock messaging. Even my wife's contact pic who does not have a google account, that I set manually with my G1 years ago. I did notice my own contact pic changed to an older one when I switched phones...
Is there a better messaging app? I do miss the vibrants default

I have this problem, however its only with Facebook synching. Google pics, or photos I've manually saved to contacts work.
There's a free app called synchmypix that will solve your Facebook woes.

You can't go wrong with Handcent !
My facebook photos were showing up in my contacts, but not in my messaging. I got SyncMyPix as well and it worked like a charm.
EDIT: Oops just saw Frank29 post. He already mentioned SyncMyPix.

Awesome find, and thanks for the suggestion. Works perfectly. (Hit thanks!)
Anyone get it to work on EB1.03? I know it works on CM7 but it's still waaaay too buggy for me right now to use as a daily.
Doesn't work on the leaked rom either. Doesn't even give the option in the facebook app to sync contacts.

If you read up about the launch of the Nexus S and Facebook, you will see this is because Google removed the sync ability of Facebook. Google is pissed because Facebook displays it's contacts in the address book without storing it locally. Previously, Google gave Facebook special API access to the contacts app, but they have removed it as of Gingerbread. Facebook will have to update their sync so it adds it to the shared contacts of the phone.

I've tried to export all my facebook contacts to SD card and import them from gmail contacts on my computer.. but still no luck
Anyone have any ideas?

Google removed the ability in Gingerbread, use something like SyncMyPix if all you need is contact photos. If you need more than that I'm clueless.

Ok guys and girls I need the best way to sync FB photos to my contacts. Through the FB app it doesn't show the photo when you call but it shows it under contacts. I want to actually replace the image and sync it with google. I've used SyncMyPix but the quality sucks. I bought Full Screen Caller ID but need to get my money back due to no response back from the dev. It shows a nice image when calling but nothing during text or anything so kind of annoying. I want something that will sync as flawlessly as possible thanks!
Umm mine works fine with the FB app. Try changing the setting in the app to sync all see I'd that works. I noticed it worked like that on mine.

Hello, I recently updated my infuse to CM 10 and have been mostly enjoying it.
I have one huge problem however, which is that I can't sync my facebook contacts
I don't fully know why. I can get my gmail and g+ contacts, but not my facebook, and seemingly, more than half of my original contacts came from facebook (I'll be sure to fix that).
I need a fix to this, if anyone knows what to do to get it working. I'm not sure why it wont, I've tried redownloading the fb app, deleting its cache, and even removing all phone contact accounts and re adding the, but to no avail.
Can someone please help?
That has not worked since ICS. It was disabled by google I believe..
You can try Liquid Smooth which has a hack to allow fb sync.

There is also Contact Sync for Facebook in GooglePlay that can be used.
Try friend caster. It has some cool features that the Facebook app doesn't have
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda app-developers app
if you ask me that contact sync feature is a huge privacy violation. having the facebook app give facebook your phone number, and anybody who also has your phone number can see you in the freind finder on their facebook app. when started seeing people i used to work with and other people who i had no buisness seeing their facebook account in the "people you may know" or whatever i deleted the app and let a few of those people know who probably would want to stay anonymous so that they could do the same.
at this point i'm not sure why i still have a facebook. but i probably wont for long. google+ is no better. i'll stick to the traditional google services in the future, ya know the ones that only allow me to see what's going on in my life.

This one doesnt sync phone numbers which I find pointless. It will however bring over all your friends as contacts to your phone with their pictures attached... still pointless if you cant call/txt them.

Friendcaster has a built in fb to contact sync and from what I can see that doesnt import numbers either.
