Go to S6 settings, then Accounts, locate Facebook.
See if you can sync your contacts again.

I just read a thread over at the Samsung forums concerning the missing and non functional FB contacts sync recently, and it appears that this is not a bug, but a FB person stated that this feature has been discontinued!
What in the world were they smoking??? Are they completely gone stupid?
This is a global thing and affects everyone on Android.
Worst thing is that nobody knew.
There is people that don't care, but there is also people that do, and this is certainly NOT a point that needed addressed in this app.
I can't believe all the gimmicks they add and then an essential like that is being removed! Unreal!!!

I'm here because I was looking around to solve this problem. It seems simply removed by Facebook devs. It's incredible and absurd.
I come from an hard reset and now I can't sync nothing even if under Settings --> Account --> Facebook there's the sync option. But (surprise) it doesn't sync nothing. It says sync complete, but there's not data transfer.

Tried. Facebook v27 crash immediately after I open it. I hope Facebook will reintroduce this function.
New Galaxy S6 phones are pre-installed with Facebook version of at least 40. So you cant uninstall it or go back far enough to get 27.. Disabling it also does not let you install FB version 27. Sucks. I was able to do this workaround using my S4. Upgraded to the S6 and now I can't.
Not really true - I just did that on my new S6. Disabled the FB, uninstalled the updates (down to stub version) and installed ver. 27 over it. It synced my contacts, and then I updated the app - worked like charm
However, I assume with the FB updated to newest version, the new contacts may not sync anymore... :/
PS. Should be under Btr1976's post - sorry...
I did this too and can confirm it works.
I can't imagine why in the world Facebook did this stupidity.
If you can't install v27, maybe you could use a third party app. I used HaxSync when I used AOSP ROMs on previous phones. Worked like a charm.

If you have any spaces, dashes, or an apostrophes (like I do) it looks as though it causes a problem with com.htc.bgp. When I had an apostrophe in my last name on Facebook no matter what I tried I could not sync using the People app. This morning I tried taking the apostrophe out on Facebook, deleting the account from my phone, deleting HTC Sense and Android Facebook permissions in the account settings under applications on the Facebook website then re-adding my Facebook account on my Hero under Accounts & Sync. It loaded my Facebook account without the apostrophe. I then opened the people app and attempted to link a contact and to my surprise I seen my Facebook contacts loading up instead of "no matches"! It has been months since I could use the people app to sync with Facebook and I have tried all the brute methods and just turning down your memory killer! Give it a try if you have any characters that aren't letters in your first or last name on Facebook.
I am running Damage Control 2.09.1 overclocked with 2.6.36 darkshizz kernel. If overclocked you must turn the settings back to stock (dconfig, setcpu, all memory killers, etc).
*Edit* I just put the apostrophe back in my name on Facebook and synced again. It kept my name without the apostrophe and still allowed me to sync new contacts!
I want to know how to only sync the contacts I have and not import all my friends from facebook, like how 1.5 used to be. I hate having a ton of extra contacts I never call in my dialer!
Use the stock/non htc facebook app. it does this exactly.
Good to know, thanks for posting.
Mods, should this be moved to the Themes and Apps forum?
For some reason when i click on facebook in accounts and sync nothing happens. Is this linked to the actual facebook app you download from the market?....I want to try to reinstall it. Cleared my facebook cache...still nothing.
Running fresh rom.

I had this happen when I switched to DarchDroid 2.7. I solved the issue by searching the market for facebook, and it told me I needed to upgrade. I had the typical notification show me other apps that needed upgraded but had no mention of Facebook. After I upgraded it, I was able to sync in the accounts area just fine. Hope that helps.
THANK YOU!!!
You are a god among men. I've been searching for a fix for this for MONTHS, and nobody's had an answer. Thank you so much!!! +9,001 Internets for you.
I have tried and tried to update my APP and no luck. I can only open it. any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't really know but when I went to the downloads part of my market it didn't say that Facebook needed to update, but after further investigation I realized that it wasn't in the download list at all. So I searched the market for it and when it found it, it told me that it had an update available. So if you have already tried that and it won't work, then I would say you should try removing the old Facebook app altogether and then just get the new one from the market.
So the fix for the extra Facebook synced contacts in the dailer is to use the Facebook App instead of the HTCFacebook ?
I had the same problem and I fixed it by uninstalling Facebook for Android and in settings>accounts & syncs, I removed Facebook account. I then re-downloaded Facebook for Android and in accounts & sync, I added Facebook for HTC NOT Facebook for Android.
you cant use the regular facebook app if you have sense.........

Don't know about 1), but for 2) - the Samsung app store is, as far as I can tell, geared towards Samsung's "not-quite-so-smart" phones - e.g. cheap ones with Samsung's custom OS, not Android.
For Android devices, the Market is where you want to go.

Yeah but I had Samsung market on sgs vibrant. That ain't no cheap phone.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
i didnt think the vibrant had samsung apps stock? well i thought it was a european thing and not for america like kies but if the vibrant had it then it may just be that att doesn't want it. you can get the samsung apps app but you will only see rare firmware updates for the infuse in it. i messed with putting samsung apps on the captivate and i once got a camera firmware update but otherwise it was empty. other than that you can change /system/build.prop to look like an i9000 and get a few apps but there isn't much in there that is worth having other than maybe the asphalt 5 version that was designed to work with our gpu (the lighting looks better, things are less dull/flat looking than the market version).
as for the first question what are your sync settings? go to sttings> accounts and sync ther eare 2 types of facebook accounts for some reason, open your facebook account, if it only says "sync contacts" then it is not the type of account you want, if you have 2 or 3 options make sure calandar sync is enabled. the facebook account with only contacts sync is for the facebook app so im not sure if you should disable it, up to you but i would disable contact sync for that account and enable it on the facebook social updates account, if you need to add the social updates account then go back> select add accounts >select facebook social updates near the top of the screen (says integrated contact accounts above it) and put in your email that is attached to the account and your password. select calandar sync and the sync interval and you should have it working.

Open your calendar, Menu > Settings > Calendar Sync, turn on Facebook.
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.
So, I bought a Sprint Note 5. First day of owning it, I rooted and flashed one of the deoxed roms listed on the site (sorry, can't recall which at the moment). Everything had been perfect with exception of one tiny thing. My contacts don't have photos assigned to them. I started to investigate my settings as to why Facebook hadn't syncd with them and noticed some users have an extra setting in their Facebook app than others. Mainly the sync contacts option. So, I went on over to my accounts tab under settings and noticed my Facebook account wasnt listed. When I clicked add account then clicked on Facebook, one of two things would happen. A. If I didn't have Facebook opened already, the screen would act as of it were about to load sobering then kick me back to the original accounts page under the note 5s system settings. Or, B. It would open my prelaunched facebook app. I think this maybe part of my problem, as it won't allow me to add my account and this sync my contacts with it. I'm not sure if this is due to removed features from the rom, a modified accounts.apk [if one exists. Was only able to locate the account and sigs for note 2] or possibly some missing services that were removed. What I was hoping for was if the accounts portion is actually an apk, if someone could attach a copy of it. Or, if someone knows why this would be happening, to fill me in. Thanks in advance.
I've had this issue too. Seems to be a feature that Facebook removed in one of the latest updates. My supervisor did not update his app in a while and he had the option in the app to sync contacts. I always update mine on all my devices and it was gone. Hopefully it is just an error and they bring back the option.
Hello all,
I have a problem syncing my Google contacts with my HTC One M8 (running Android 6.0). In the past, I have been able to sync the HTC People app with Google (and also link them with data from other apps).
Yesterday, I had to reset my Google account settings. I also cleared the People data, before putting the account settings back and syncing the data. Now it will only sync some of the contacts. It's missing about 190 of my contacts (which are clearly still there on Google). I can find no pattern to the contacts it includes/excludes. I have tried repeating the process - clearing all the data and settings and putting it all back - but I cannot get all of the contacts to appear on my phone any more.
Can anyone tell me how to solve this? Failing that, is there another (reliable) app for syncing contacts data from multiple sources, including Google, Whatsapp, and Skype? Thank you in advance!
Can you verify that missing ppl have either google plus profiles or (birth)dates set? Refer to https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/contact-sync-flashing-8-1-image-syncing-t3715229 ... this seems broken since the 8.1 release but also breaks for non-oreo and non-pixel devices

Thanks for posting so quickly - and for directing me to a thread for precisely this issue! I am missing rather too many contacts to go through all of them, but it's definitely not confined to contacts with a G+ profile and/or a date. As you say, the Android version on my phone also pre-dates that of most users experiencing this problem.
It seems there's no clear solution yet, but (from the thread) it seems to be early days. For now, I have manually exported my Google Contacts to a vCard file and imported it to my phone contacts. I guess I'll wait and see if Google comes up with a solution in due course.

Deleted my Google account and People app data (again) today. Replaced them and suddenly I am finding ALL my Google contacts syncing again. I don't really have an explanation for why it worked this time but it might be relevant that I also installed the dedicated Google Contacts app this time round.
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.
