Since upgrading to 4.3 JB, facebook photos are not syncing.
I had CM 10.1.2 with JB 4.2.2 and contacts+ app before. When I add a person's phone number or email to contacts (people) app, contacts+ app would pull the person's facebook or linkedin photo (even though the person is not in my facebook friend's list).
No matter what app I try in 4.3 JSS, only my facebook friend's contact photo is syncing - not all contacts. Anyone has success syncing photos of contacts even if they are not your facebook friends? Is it Android OS thing or facebook thing?
Tried Ubersync, Haxsync, Contacts+, and SyncME (tried different settings, sync over data or wifi, sync existing contacts, all contacts etc.)
Waited for almost a week to sync - was in wifi most of the time
Tried: without facebook app and with facebook app logged in
Tried: autosync checked and also autosync not checked
Tried: PA 3.98 JWR, Carbon Nightly JSS
Note:All the apps listed above asked for facebook permission when i first opened after install and I gave permission by logging in to my facebook account.
Without a facebook or linkedin account, you will not be able to pull the photos.
Ubersync, Haxsync and now contacts+ syncs hi-resolution pictures. But in 4.3 ROMS, only syncs with facebook friends.
Anyone had sucess with facebook contact photos sync for all emails in contacts?

it seems my integrated facebook account will sync the calendar but not the contacts. anyone else with this problem?
i have a feeling it is on the facebook side because i'm coming from a captivate. when i look on my facebook page under Apps, it shows Samsung Mobile, but it says "6 months ago". I think facebook is confused between my old Samsung Mobile and my new one.
i think i figured it out. google supposedly changed the way you have to access android contacts forcing facebook to update their app. and consequently, the facebook app syncs just fine......but contacts only, there is no option to sync calendar.
the "integrated contact account" (that syncs facebook contacts and calendar even without the facebook app installed) fails on contact sync. the problem is this "integrated account" has not been updated (obviously because it was bundled with android 2.2). the "integrated account" synced just fine on my last phone that had android 2.3
Everytime I reflash, I seem to loose the merged contacts between my phonebook with facebook/twitter/whatsapp etc. My blackberry back in the day stored the connection as an attirbute in the contact object such as; fb://profile/XXXXXXX. Any apps that can back up the contacts with their other app relations?
apart from the contacts, I could swear that the facebook birthdays would sync to my calender as well. I seemed to have lost it, was it a friendstream functionality? Thanks
So I recently freshly flashed MIUI.
I got my contacts synced with my google account. but then when I installed facebook and clicked sync with existing contacts, it synced ALL OF MY FACEBOOK friends to my contact list. I can't remove my facebook friend contacts...help..Its keep on doing that. I have "sync with existing contacts" only and its syncing all the facebook accounts to my contacts..
and how do I manually sync in MIUI?
does anyone have this problem??
You would probably get an answer/help with your issue if you posted your question in the miui thread.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that facebook app does that with any ROM anytime you sync...
log out of facebook and reboot then go to menu-->settings---->personal----> accounts & Sync settings---> turn off auto sync ....under that you should see your facebook and google accounts with sync off.....anytime you you need to sync just go back there and click your account to do it manually
Hi, I have the T-Mobile Samsung S6 and I synced my Facebook Contacts. I realized the stock Contacts App displays all my contacts, so I selected Customized List under Contacts to Display and unchecked Facebook ALL Contacts. However, even after doing this my Facebook contacts STILL show in the list. Has anyone been successful in keeping Facebook Sync on but NOT having them display under Contacts?
Sync is enabled, but it's not working.
Post-gingerbread, Google blocked Facebook Contact sync on Android smartphones. You can use Sync.me to sync your Facebook contacts now.
