Haha I have to agree with you.
If it doesn't auto sync, click edit your contact, then menu-> join. Find your contact in the list that matches and save. Sometimes if the name you have doesn't match a facebook name, edit the name, join, then re-edit the name.

Go into your contacts, open the menu, and tap on display options. click on FB next and see if the sync contacts is checked.
my phone is not in front of me right now but I think thats the way to get to those options.

I did that and it sync some but not all. On other phones, they ones it didn't sync I can manual sync them by clicking on their name....can I do that here?
Go to contacts and click the menu button then display options. It should say only show contacts with phone numbers at the top. See if that's selected. That might limit whos being synced.

If nothing else works, try downloading friendcaster from the market and sync them through the app. After flashing certain roms, FB doesn't play nice with my contacts and friendcaster is the only way I can get them to sync

Friendcaster?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Friendcaster is your only option from I believe pre 8.1 Eclipse. 8.1 on up FB should sync with AOSP.

I think there's no way to delete multiple contacts on the default app.
I used an app called Contact Remover you can found it the Market.
Another way is use PC -> www(dot)google(dot)com/contacts

id recommend this way as well... Your contacts will be synced with your google account that way. By doing this you're able to access any of ur numbers through any phone or computer (etc.).
Hello,
I just wondered if i can sync Facebook Birthdays on my phone as i can't find the settings...
I used to be able to do it on my HTC with calendar but can't seem to do it on this phone or a possible App from the market that will do this...
Kind Regards
Moto blur doesnt include this. I have tbolt as well. But i am sure there might b a calander app. I will take look

If you sync your Facebook to your Google acct you should get your birthdays listed when your Google calendar syncs to your phone.

Hi there,
I don't want to sound dumb but how do i sync Facebook to Google??
Kind Regards
Make the email acct associated with your Facebook acct your gmail acct. I had to do this when I had a fascinate in order to get my Facebook calendar to sync with my phone. In a nutshell, your phone calendar syncs with your gmail calendar automatically, so if you make your gmail your default Facebook email it should force the sync to your phone's calendar.

On your computer, on a desktop browser
Visit this page : https://www.facebook.com/events/list
on the top right next to "Today" there is a gear icon, click on it
this will bring a drop down menu and one of the selection will be export
SNS service stopped

Does it sync your FB contacts to the phone?
I use this app as well, as a replacement to the official FB app, but I can't sync with it, or even add it as a sync account in the Settings...
You dont need an app for that. You need to add the contact as a google contact and then join the google contact with the matching facebook contact. Then the pics should sync.

That is a great way!!! If only the Facebook contacts could be synced to the phone properly with ICS.... mmmmmm, maybe I'll open a post that will tell me how to sync the FB contacts to the phone, so I could join them with my google contacts...!
DA!!!!

C'mon really. I was a being a good sport and went along with Moonshield's and CaelanT's joke. Anything further is just being immature. I'd expect better from a "Senior Member".
Uninstall and reinstall
I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the facebook app, and leave it on charging with wifi connected (As per my settings) overnight, and everything was in by the morning.
My FB contacts sync aok using FriendCaster on CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish build 8]. Receive status updates, notifications, etc, also no problem.
Really, guys?
So I have contacts from facebook (I only add people I know). Some of these contacts have the peoples number and some don't. I can't edit a facebook contact it says to add a number. So instead I have a facebook contact and a phone contact with the exact same name but with the number. How can I merge these? I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
Open the phone number contact. Hit menu, edit, menu again, then join.

I hear you..as far as I know that's the only way to do it unless your contact names are are listed exactly the same as the Facebook names.

I found out you can merge them when you sign into your Gmail account on the computer

This is what I did. It's a pain, and yeah, you have to have your contact's name be the same as their Facebook name. It's a real PITA when somebody wants to use a clever nickname and you just want their real name.
Ultimately, it's a choice between, don't sync, or sync and have a mess, or sync and merge and deal with the compromise.
