Try to install haxSync application, Go to your settings and under Accounts add your Facebook account using this app. I was also looking for application that will add all my friends with phone numbers to my contact list, but i guess i will have to program by myself
Thank you haxsync works perfectly
I believe that functionality was remove in stock Jellybean, but as was stated haxSync should work.

Good luck with programming it yourself ;P The Facebook API just doesn't expose phone numbers, so the only thing you could do is scrape Facebook's html, which is shady at best and illegal at worst. If it wasn't that way, I'd have included phone number sync in HaxSync a long time ago
Thanks, Haxsync worked for me also.

same question here.
i have disabled facebook syncing from accounts (after linking my contacts) but still the pictures get updated once they are changed on facebook
remove the Facebook account from "Settings > Accounts & Sync" ?
Yes, remove facebook accounts from accounts and sync then restart phone. Check your contacts again if it still has the facebook photos of your contacts. You can add the facebook to your sync account after the problem corrects itself.
What I did is some work but I went manually into each contact that Facebook changed and choose "edit". Touch the picture on the top left corner and choose the Google account for picture source then save changes. I'm sure it changed all of Facebook contacts but I cared about only 6, who are in my Favorites...

The phone replaces Google contact pictures with Facebook ones when you make a certain change in "People". It also replaces Phone pictures with Google or Facebook ones. I'm not sure it does this when ANY change is made to People, or just a certain one (like changing an unrelated contact picture).
It's an annoying bug… I doubt it can be fixed properly :\
Thanks for your replies, deleting the Facebook account in Account & Sync doesnt work as when u run Facebook it asks you for your login info & then just recreates the account...Changing the pictures manually back to google photos works until a resync happens then they get replaced with google ones again...

This method works... as I had the same problem, the only problem is it takes time, if you have lots of contacts.

Same for Desire S
Good info, Thanks
So I setup my facebook as an account and told it to sync everything. The problem I am having is that the pictures are not being downloaded for most contacts.
I went into the address book and selected to view just facebook contacts and 99% of people who I did not like to a contact did not have a picture. The same could be seen for people's bdays who appear in my calendar.
Anyone have a solution?
Unfortunately, it's a problem with ICS. Facebook and Google are having a bit of a pissing match, much like those between Apple and Oracle. No ICS ROM period can sync facebook pictures without jumping through some hoops.
There are solutions; look for an app called HaxSync on the market, it's a workaround but it does work.
Or as a free alternative, Friendcaster.

I knew about the facebook/google fight but I thought HTC's facebook implementation would get over it that just how alternatives like friendcaster can
try this:

its what i use. only downside is that it syncs EVERYTHING so you will have to link contacts to clean up your address book
It's been working fine for me. All of my contacts that have fb are synced and there pics are there

Contacts that have Facebook sync perfectly fine. It's the Facebook contacts, the ones that I don't have linked to my contacts, are the ones that don't have their pictures synced

I think the issue is with the HOX because it doesnt show up on Go SMS either. The only way I got it to show up was by installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
Is there anything I can install or run to make my contacts pull Facebook photos and information? I installed a syncing app, but it didn't pull over anything.
i would also like to know...when i had my htc sensation it was called link...

They disabled contact information because Facebook pulled a ****ty move and listed all users as having their primary email set as [email protected]
It screwed a lot of people over.
Contact photos, not quite sure
Thanks for the heads up. The stock ROM kept all my photo's but I have aokp running now.

Hrm...maybe they fixed it. I use the "Facebook" app from Facebook itself and have it "Sync existing contacts". It sync pictures, email (the proper one, not the @facebook one) and other things from their profile (e.g. phone number).

That's odd, good of course, but still odd. I checked and all my friends main email addresses on their profile is Facebook. Although to be honest I don't know how many of them had actual email addresses listed

If you want the Facebook profile photos for contact pics you could use the app syncmypixs

That worked perfect! Thanks so much!
I allways have my contacts sync everything from fbook but then say show only contacts with phone numbers
But also hax sync is awesome if your on cm since fbook and cm don't play nice

I don't have this phone yet but I have always used an app for that.

I use sync.me from the play store..
I used to use uber sync... works too.. sync.me seems to do a better job.
Coming from a HTC One X+ with Sense 5, contacts are linked to Facebook/Twitter etc which is really useful and a feature I really miss with pure Android.
So, in light of this I have two questions:
Can it be done with stock Android without a 3rd party app?
If not, is there a better solution than Contacts+? Whilst this app is ok, it's not as refined as I'd like.
Still love the phone though, by far the best I've had! If I can solve this contact linking issue then I'll be happy as Larry!
I use HaxSync for syncing Facebook contacts
For Facebook, I use the sync contacts option from Friendcaster. I don't actually use the app otherwise.
Thanks guys, do either of these apps change anything in the contacts? I.e. Can you see Facebook statuses and things when you go into a contact or does it just keep the profile photo synced?

Yes, it will sync statuses as well.
