Hi, I'm having a problem syncing contacts on my SE Xperia Ray (2.3.4 on SE Build 4.0.2.A.0.42). I've tied both my Twitter and Facebook account (Facebook through SE's "Facebook inside Xperia" app) to the phone, and it seems that only some of the contacts are syncing to the contacts app. Admittedly most of my contacts don't have Twitter profiles, but they all have Facebook. I've checked that the names are spelt exactly the same as on Facebook, so I don't think that is the problem. There seems to be no difference in the info I've filled in between the contacts that work and the ones that don't work. There's screenshots below of one properly synced contact and one broken contact.
Thanks in advance!
Anyone have a possible solution for this?

I have a nexus one and have been trying to sync the contacts in the phonebook since I got it. Some of the contacts got synced because the names are identical, but with lots of them the names are different and I dont want to change them to their facebook names. too serious is there any way i can link phonebook contacts with facebook contacts without giving them the exact names?

hi guys, anyone know how to sync only facebook photo to phone contact, rather than whole facebook contact?
this is the problem i encounter:
when i tab on the TO: list in messaging and type in my friend's name, it will show a replica of number (ie number from phone contact, and number from facebook contact). And the worst part is some of the number from facebook contact are wrong.
can anyone help?
thanks in advance.

thanks aagvain, i forgot something, previously i sync with my facebook account, and am able to get all the email address as well.
so i have to either add in the email via gmail one by one and sync gmail, or is there any other alternative?
thanks a lot
just an update, i've solved my problem.
i've installed google contact sync and it will only sync facebook photo.
the downside is it doesn't sync the email, so i have to manually input.
Hello all,
i don't know if i should write my issue in this section or not..
I am trying to sync my contacts from Facebook also... this way all my contacts will start having their Facebook profile picture. Unfortunately everything works fine except that profile pictures are not synced (facebook contact is synced with phone contact with all the fb information but without the profile picture)
Also another problem.. when fb picture are synced (tried on another phone just like mine) whatsapp won't show those pictures. It only show pictures from google accounts (Therefore some contacts have their google account display pictures while other don't have anything... they have the standard whatsapp green contact photo)
Any idea guys?
Thank You..
I exported facebook birthdays to Google Calendar a while back. Since I dropped HTC Sense (which has its own facebook sync built in) I've been using this method to sync facebook contacts' birthdays to my android device(s) and never had problems. But suddenly, I don't know since when exactly, "Friends' Birthdays" are no longer shown in Google Calendar. So I can't see them nor in the desktop version of Google Calendar nor on my mobile devices. Well, I can see one: my own birthday This means they are shown, but the sync doesn't work for all contacts.
Is Facebook's timeline interfering? Anyone else with this problem?
Ok, did everything I did in the past... Sync'd with facebook for android and did the experia facebook sync. For some reason, my phone will NOT show the high rez pics in my contacts for facebook. After reviewing some setting from my old z2 to my z3, I noticed that the contacts which is part of the phone has both the facebook app contacts sync (low rez pics) and the experia contact sync (high rez pics) my z3 does NOT have the experia facebook contact sync in the settings to add an account. It's added in the regular sync in the regular setting for the phone for the experia facebook sync but it's only syncing the calendar and the z2 is syncing both the calendar and the contacts. I did notice an extra tab in the setting for the contacts app which is part of the phone and there is a setting on my z2 that says "show status updates" which is for social media. My z3 does NOT have that setting in the contacts app.

i am having the same problem... is this only me and you...
I'm having the same issue
I think it's something to do with the update experia facebook app. I noticed it's a newer version as soon as I uploaded a pic from it. The layout is totally different. Maybe we'll get an update to fix it. It kept telling me to use experia for facebook to get high-rez pics in my contacts but every time I hit yes, it would say I can't have 2 accounts. FYI - I also tried to remove the experia facebook and let it do it from that but still did not work. Again, the key here is having both facebook cantacts in the dialer's contacts and having the experia facebook in the sync accounts for contacts.
same problem

Works fine for me
Same here no contacts under xperia with facebook sync menu just calendar... :/
This is how I got my Facebook contacts
Click on Phone> contacts>options(looks like 3 dots bottom right corner>Filter>Facebook> Tick all contacts & this should hopefully help out.
New fb update turned sync of on my phone. So check the actual Facebook app
