I have a Samsung focus and did the mango update and now about 80% of my facebook contacts pictures (on the phone not the facebook app) do not show up on the phone. Anyone else have this issue or a way to fix it?
Thanks
Did you try to refersh your facebook account?
Go Settings --> email + accounts --> Facebook - Sync
if you search all you contact will come up. If you want it to list all of your FB contracts in you phone you have to change the settings.
Please post in the correct forum next time. Should have gone in Q&A.
As for your question, are you talking about contact photos for your contacts, or your Facebook contacts themselves not showing up.
If your contact photos aren't showing up, maybe your contacts need to be re-linked to their Facebook accounts. Check if they are linked.
If your Facebook contacts are not showing up at all, and you want them to be displayed in your People list, then you need to go into People settings and change the filter to display Facebook contacts (if you haven't already done so).
thanks for all the input. I am aware of all said above. I updated to Mango and this is a mango issue. All of my facebook contacts show up, the only issue is about 30-40% of them when i try to choose the facebook picture or my contact picture the facebook picture is missing. This is not a settings issue otherwise the other 60-70% would not work properly. Is there a way to delete the facebook account and redo it in mango? I have already tried to resync it many times but for many facebook contacts it shows a blank picture while others it does not. Attached is a screenshot showing only my facebook contacts, as you can see some of the pictures are missing. IS there any way to reset just facebook on Mango Beta?
Thanks
well i got a worst problem, i have a htc hd2 with mango beta 1 with marketplace, everything is fully functional but "IM". I've tried everything even change languages for both windows live and facebook, but always says in set im status "cant connect to im".

I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.

Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.
well i would like the birthdays of friends who i dont have on google to show up still, i just don't want duplicates and i dont want to go through all my google contacts and remove their birthdays.
Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
Has anybody else been having issues with the built in Facebook app on Nexus? Every time I try to retrieve notifications I get an error telling me it cannot retrieve.
Getting the same issue. Uninstalled using root explorer and tried reinstalling - no dice. The other version was from the Droid dump.
I wasn't ever able to get notifications working on my MT3G on the Facebook app.
Yes, I think it is some bug Google didn't quite work out before the release. I emailed them and got the standard response that they are aware of the problems...ie facebook...ie...polar clock dynamic color...and is working on it! Let's see how long they take to get it fixed!
I am having exactly the same problem with the facebook app on my hero. Its not a phone specific problem here, but either a facebook issue or an issue with the app itself.
It worked fine on my MT3G, just not so great on the N1 hopefully a patch rolls out soon
works on my N1
Facebook- Synced Contacts Name Issue
After syncing Facebook contacts with phone contacts, it changes the name of the contact to whatever it is in Facebook and 'overrules' whatever other name you have in phone.
I.e.- if you have your dad saved as 'Dad' in your phone and sync with his Facebook contact, it will overrule the name 'Dad' in your phone and display it as his full name a la his Facebook name.
This is ANNOYING as who searches parents by full name?? and others of course.....
Any help??
I don't like this either... there needs to be an option in the settings to make Gmail contacts the dominant/controlling information.
Eager for a solution to this.

Go into your contact list. Hit menu, then accounts. Add an account, select Facebook.
Don't think it's a FB Client for N1/Android. I'm having issues with checking notifications directly on the facebook mobile client (which I prefer). This isn't the first time that FB have made changes to the interface without notifications and somethings things are broke for awhile.
My notifications were working again, last night, both the FB Mobile and FB for Android for a very short time and are now broken again.
It's not your phone nor the client. it's the FB developers.
running android on my touch pro (winmo device), facebook app worked fine. facebook status update, when checked online thru pc, says 'status updated with facebook for android). widget works fine too, scrolls right through everyone's status
Yeah, getting the same errors, too.
Facebook Pics + Sync with contacts?
Is the Facebook app that is installed supposed to take a facebook profile and sync and apply the picture with a contact card on the phone? I notice that it adds a facebook section when editing a contact and you could choose to use the facebook picture, however, it doesn't sync the picture to the contact. I check google.com/contacts to verify and there is either 1) no picture, or 2) an old picture that can be updated. I know it mentioned facebook syncing in the app for pictures, status, and contact info, however, the picture doesn't seem to get applied to the contact.
So, did some poking around and found the SyncMyPics. Is this app redundant to what is featured in the facebook app? Or, is it necessary to achieve what I would like?
Thanks!
I'm not sure why you are having that issue. Mine worked perfectly. The only issue I had was where I got dupes because names were incorrectly spelled.
I know that with the Hero ROM on my G1, not all of my contacts would sync pics from Facebook. It probably has to do with the level of security those users have. I'd say only a third of my contacts' pics from FB would sync. This could be the same issue? Are only some of your contact pics syncing?
Well...
My previous phone was a Touch Pro and using custom ROMsm I would use the facebook feature a lot where it would update the FB picture to the phone contact, then, it would get synced to Google using MS Exchange.
I just noticed a few friends changing their pictures. Did a force sync under accts and sync and noticed the contect picture didn't get changed... Sp, I'm wondering what is going on here?
Basically, shouldn't the FB app be updating the contact icons when there is a change.. then syncing them with google contacts?
I noticed on the 2.1 roms (Fresh and DamageControl). It syncs all your Facebook Contacts, not just the linked ones. I know you can prevent them from showing up in Contacts by adjusting your view settings, but whenever I goto compose a new e-mail or a new text and start typing in a contact, it still polls my Facebook friends and shows them on the dropdown as choices which is kind of annoying. Also for people that are linked it doesn't seem to cares, i.e. for people I have both on my phone and on Facebook it shows them twice on the drop down with the same information. Is this the intentend use or is this a bug and is there anyway to turn this off?
Thanks
this is my most annoying problem with 2.1 thus far. unknown numbers show up as a random person in my facebook, too.
i like the 1.5 way of dealing with facebook.
i think you can go into accounts & sync and unsync FB contacts, although I don't know if that will mess up current contacts or not. i also don't know if current contacts FB pics will never be updated again until manual sync.

The Contacts sync correctly on DamageControl as long as you're looking through the People app like he said because the Facebook option isn't checked under view but when you're composing a new message, be it email or sms, all the Facebook contacts show up. Even when you click "Phone" and scroll past your call history they show up.
Im using the damagecontrol rom and facebook sync isnt working at all. I have zero facebook contacts. Any suggestions?

Yes yes yes to the original post. We all know that the Facebook syncing is buggy. But pulling in all the contacts is horrible (Facebook and Gmail contacts). I can't figure out how to only sync My Contacts from GMail either. It pulls on all 500+ and then I can select only view those with a phone number. But syncing only My Contacts was so easy with 1.5. Why would they do away with that? Or am I stupid and overlooking it?

I want that option too and can't find it. I don't want to have to go through my GMail contacts (700 of them) to weed it down to 75
When I was using 2.0b, EVERY SINGLE CALL, not just unknowns, showed as the same person...but with the correct number for the person calling showing under the pic. What was really funny was that I don't actually have the number for the person whose pic was showing, lol!
I've noticed that if the FORMATTING of a number on facebook is different from your Google contact, it will take the facebook formatting over the Google formatting.
i.e. my wife's number on FB is formatted 17045551234 and on Google it's 704-555-1234.
when i view her contact and/or she calls, it shows 17045551234.
i wish we could disable importing the phone numbers or have that fixed
as soon as i unlink her FB it shows up right.
How do you link contacts to FB, it seems that some of my contacts are linked and some arnt that once were...Is this a rom issue, because i followed the steps to fix FB sync issue, and some of the contacts do sync. But now i cant even create a new contact and link them to facebook
Thanks In Advance...
I read in the forum here that it was doign that because the autokiller setting were too strick (Sorry Cant remember who said it so cant give credit). So change that to default then click the sync button. I did this and about 4 hours later all my facebook contacts pictures synced. hope that helps
also update facebook in the market
yeah i did the auto killer setting adjustment, but i cant link new contacts with FB...is there another method?
Not sure exactly what you are asking, but I think I know.
You have contact A, and they also have a Facebook account, but they are not linked at all. You want them linked. Open up "People" go to contact "A", then move the slider to the right to the Updates tab, and it should say something along the lines of "Link to a Facebook Profile". Click that, and select the profile.
go into settings and accounts and delete facbook then re-add it.
Exactly ! Thanks it was driving me nuts ... it used to be @ edit contact screen , now its moved , thanks for the info , I can relax now
I had problems early on with not all of my facebook contacts showing up. I deleted the facebook account. Before adding it back I went to applications and scrolled down to facebook for htc sense and cleared the data.
I am looking through my contacts list and I am noticing several of my contacts have several links to their same facebook profile. Since they are Facebook, I am unable to delete them. How can you have several Facebook links to the same Facebook profile? If I unlink them then I have separate entries in contacts.
Did you just download the upgrade to facebook? I had mine working fine and then I downloaded the upgrade which was suppose to fix issue with the syncing timing out. Then suddenly I had 9 facebook contacts for each person it was sync'd too

Yes I do have the updated version.
I had the same problem, what I did was unlink both facebook accounts from my contacts, which removed everything facebook related and then just added 1 back.
That was my solution as well, but I'm not relishing the prospect of doing that for every facebook contact I have. Anyone come up with a quicker fix yet?
What he means is to remove the facebook accounts completely from the menu, settings, accounts screen.
Then when you add one back be sure to use the top one that is listed under "Integrated contact accounts." The sync from the new version of facebook does not work properly on our phones for some reason.
Same problem- removing facebook account doesnt remove links
Each contact of mine has 4 "unknown" links that seem to be facebook links. I cant seem to find a way around manually deleting each link one by one. I removed the facebook sync accounts and the facebook contacts still show up and the duplicates are still there. Also when I try to go to display options it says "sim initializing" and stays there. Only if I take out my SIM card and replace it can I access the display options Advice? This also caused my phone to run out of database memory and slow it down alot.
