Facebook Contact Pictures not working - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

Same problem here guys. Any solution?

Try using HaxSync
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

Others services not syncing to contacts (Xperia Ray)

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?

[Q] Syncing Contacts Issue

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..

[Q] Facebook Photo Sync in JB 4.3

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?

[Q] Facebook Contacts Still Showing in Contacts, Unable to Hide

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?
