My facebook or twitter will not sync. When I go to contacts > groups there are 0 contacts under facebook and twitter. This is very bothersome since I would like my native sns to sync contacts so I can use my sns composer. Is there anyone who can help me with this problem
go into contact list hit settings hit more hit accounts!
are your accounts on there?
yes they are and it says my contacts have synced but there arent any contacts showing for that group0
are you using the stock contact app?
Yes. is there a different that would work better
have you tried removing and readding the accounts in Accounts and Settings?

I wanna sync my facebook then I can have pictures for all of my contacts and I really don't wanna sync all 500+ friends from facebook when I only need like 75. I have search alot and read alot, but what seems to work if anything? How can I sync facebook contacts and gets pictures with only my contacts
atm i think that all that can happen and that's why im back on 1.5 i dont need 600 + contacts on my phone when i normally only need/want 100 or so
3rd party program like: SyncMyPix
When you go into people, you can hit menu, then view and uncheck facebook contacts and then it will only show Google and phone contacts and still have the pictures for them

other apps show all facebook contacts and it's annoying (i.e. messaging contacts dropdown).

that only affects the contacts not the phone screen
i was able to do it by using the contacts i saved in my google account and for some reason they automatically linked. You are also able to manually link them by going into the contact and clicking the link button in the top right corner and selecting the contact from your facebook friends. Hope this is helpful.

clicking on the "facebook" option does nothing
is anyone else having this issue? My FB photos show up just fine under the persons name in the people app, but dont show up in the standard messaging app. stock rom
make sure you sync the facebook that's integrated into the rom and not the one from the app. then you should see the pics in the messaging apps.

you mean the one that comes with touchwiz
Open Contacts, go to Menu > More > Accounts
If facebook isn't listed, then click Add Account and add your facebook. Then make sure it's set up to sync.
Yeah I’ve been working on since I purchased the phone last week and I’ve been having the same issues. I did the contacts > more > account deal to no avail (syncing phone contacts only). The really frustrating part about that is when you open up the facebook contacts group, you see all of your facebook friends with their pictures…so I don’t understand why it won’t sync.
When you are in your contact list pick menu and check display options.
If you have contacts with numbers picked, take check mark off and see if you see them in your contact list now. If you see them now long press on the facebook contact and pick merge, look for the matching contact.
You con only merge from a maximum of 5 sources.
Hope this helps.

exactly, when people call me, there facebook photo shows up. it also shows their info if I actually go into the contacts app. But text messaging? yeah right, the only photos that show up are the contacts where I have manually picked a photo from the album. None from facebook.

thanks, but ive done all these things already. I really dont wanna wipe my handset if its not going to fix it. I would like some feedback from others to see if theres is working correctly or not. I never had this isse with any other android handset. its bugging the **** out of me.
going to bump this thread. i can't seem to sync my facebook contacts from the integrated accounts after flashing my new rom. not sure why, but i get the red error sync circle for it every time i try to sync. tried syncmypix, but the app only fc's...
I've never gotten that to work for my default SMS either. I don't really care for that anymore though, since I use handcent for SMS now anyways.
I had a problem with syncing my actual contact pictures once, but that was fixed by clearing my facebook data and relogging in.
yea, its definitely hit or miss.
so heres what happens for me...twitter contacts photos show up fine in the messaging app. Facebook still only shows from WITHIN contacts. But not in the messaging app.
I took someones recommendation and tried an app called syncmypic thats free from the market. It actually worked pretty good. Heres where it sucks though. I try to keep all of my contacts by first and last name to make it easier for apps to sync with fb and twitter. Well syncmypic syncs alot of data correctly. But some of them, it just cant get right. So it will tag the pictures to the wrong name. So i thought, "okay, no big deal, ill just manually fix em".
After I made all the corrections, the next time it went to sync, it changed everything i did back to what it wanted it to be. So in the interim, I have SOME FB photos for contacts in the messaging app, but they are a few weeks old, because Im scared to let syncmypix sync again and overwrite all the corrections ive made AGAIN. I dont know why I cant get the native messaging app to show FB photos. Ive tried countless roms, Ive tried every way recommended to fix it. Twitter works fine. FB just doesnt show in the messaging app for some reason.
Sucks because I feel like Samsung makes better phones, but HTC Sense phones have the contact sync feature down packed
The only pictures that show up for me with messages is people in my Google Talk list.
I tried something that worked, but its not 100%. First remove your facebook accounts in accounts and sync from both the program and the integrated accounts. Sign into the facebook app, but make sure not to sync contacts. Then go back to integrated accounts and login to facebook and when it asks to sync contacts, deselect "SYNC ALL CONTACTS". This will allow you to manually choose who to sync. When the new screen shows up that lists all of your friends, choose select all and sync. Do the same for twitter. Does this work?

There is an app called syncmypix. It will download your friends' pictures and set them to the appropriate contacts in your phone. All of my contacts have pictures in stock sms and their picture shows on an incoming call too.
EDIT: Didn't see there was a second page with this info. My bad
yea, syncmypix fc's a lot on my rom no matter what i do. it does a good job when it works though.
Even though i quickly unselect facebook for HTC to sync contacts, it does it anyway.
Am i the only one with this problem ?
I know i can unselect facebook contacts under the people tap, but i want them gone from the dialer.
Yeah it happens to me also. Even when i uncheck it the contacts sync anyways and when i go back to the htc facebook Sync options sometimes it shows its still checked.

There's two ways for the contacts to get there: the integrated facebook for sense & the app in the market. if you want to get rid of the contacts make sure to uncheck the sync & then go to Settings>Applications>Manage & delete the data for Contacts Storage. This will delete all of your contacts on the phone. Then just resync with what you want.
Tried that.. same problem.. still showing in the dialer..
There's no way to get rid of them. I tried everything. The dialer will show all of your facebook contacts that have phone numbers regardless of whether you uncheck the option to display them.
Unchecking that option removes them from showing in your Contacts app, but they will still show in the Dialer app.

I had that same problem but I solved it. I don't remember exactly what I did but try running set-up again and don't sync Facebook for sense or something like that. Don't be such in hurry to finish set-up. Read it carefully before you press anything
I've unsynced them in "accts and sync" as well as in the contacts app I've changed the "view" to only display gmail contacts. but after a reboot they always come back as synced....I HATE HTC SENSE and it's annoying when I am using gmail to send and email, I start typing the email address of a contact and it displays contacts from facebook that I have never emailed in my life also the dialer app shows pics from facebook rather than the default pic that I have for my contacts
guess I'm not the only one with this problem after all

Where did you put your Facebook credentials? The HTC Facebook app or the official Android Market Facebook app?
Tried Both....

Go into those contacts and unlink them. You just tap the little chain link in the upper right. That will get your default pictures back. Also sense keeps all of your most frequently used contacts at the top in the dialer.
I love sense because its way more intuitive than stock gingerbread in regards to your dialer and contacts. For instance in the dialer you type the letters for a contact name and it pulls them up. No scrolling through to find contacts.

I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
When I choose which contacts to display the phone doesn't seem to save them. I just want the phone to display my contacts from my Google account. I choose my Google account and press OK. Then when I go back to the contacts screen my Google contacts are showing. When I leave the contacts page and go back in, it displays all my contacts from all the accounts I have on the phone. I then have to repeat the process again.
If I choose Contacts to display > Customize > the choose my Google account, the contacts appear, but once I leave the contacts page and return all the contacts from all my accounts are showing. The accounts I have are WhatsApp, Corporate and Google.
I am using the Go Launcher and I am rooted. Can anyone help?
Can anyone help with this?
I am trying to display only the contacts with phone numbers. When I customise the contacts to display it works, but once i close the contacts and open it again it displays all the conatcts from all accounts.

Thanks for your reply. In Settings > Accounts I have the following accounts:

Tap on Whatsapp for example and see if you have a line for contacts sync. If yes, disable!

I have disabled the contact sync on the Whatsapp account and on the Corporate account, but the problem still occurs.
I have gone into the contacts app > accounts and turned off auto-sync app data, but that does not work either.
No matter what accounts I choose to display, it always defaults back to All contacts.

Deleting Whatsapp and Corporate contacts from Contacts app should solve it.
(actually this is the procedure to remove Facebook contacts)

Sorry for being stupid, but how do I remove these accounts from the Contacts app? When I try to remove the account from the settings menu I got the following message: "Removing this account will delete all of its messages, contacts and other data from the phone".
I don't want to remove the contacts from my phone. I just want them to not display on the contacts app. You could do this easily on the Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your help.

I've installed Whatsapp (I don't use it) and Contacts are linked to Contacts app so you can't delete them.
Maybe the app resets the custom display when you close it

That is what seems to be happening. The contact app seems to resetting my custom display whenever I close it. Then it will show the contacts from all of my accounts on the phone.

I now have Whatsapp so I was able to make some tests and on my end the Contact app keeps my choice and only displays my Whatsapp contacts in the list, even after leaving the app.
Try to clear all data of your data.
I have deleted the data from the Contacts app and the Contacts storage app in the Settings of the phone. The phone now displays contacts from my Google account and Whatsapp account, but it still resets to show All contacts when the app is closed even when I choose which account to display.
What I have now is better than what I previously had as it does not display the contacts from my corporate account, so I am grateful for that.
I tried a factory reset to fix this, but it still didn't work correctly. I also noticed that all of my contacts were joined to other contacts. I've had to go into each contact manually and separate them and then join them back to the correct contact. A major hassle. I've never had this problem before.
I know this is an old thread, but I found the same problem today and I think it could be useful for people facing this issue.
The problem is the Go Launcher contacts icon on the dock. If you replace it with the contacts app it will remember your contacts to display preference.
It seems to be some difference between Go Launcher's phone and contacts and the system phone and contacts apps.
