hi guys,
i'd just noticed this problem right now, after i told my friend to change his facebook profile picture - it did not change in my favorites contacts, it remained the same as the one he had before..
i remember that when i first got the phone and people would change their facebook profile pictures they would simultaneously change in my favorite contacts as well..
i already tried removing the contact's photo and canceling the contact's link to facebook and set it all back again, but i still get the previous picture and not the new one.
maybe something to do with cache?.. i'm just thinking out loud here..
any idea guys?
I believe that it has settings for auto update times (much like the weather, stocks, twitter, etc). Check to see how often you have it set to refresh. You can find it under settings/data services/facebook (login, data sync)
well.. yet another issue solved, thank you faelok!
Actually the update time was 2 houres, and it had been alot more than 2 houres since my friend changed his pic, BUT - i logged out of facebook acount via the data services setting, and when i logged back the pictures changed to the recent ones
p.s.
this did not help though when i logged out of facebook via the facbook app, it only worked once i went to settings > data services > turned the Facebook switch to OFF and ON again..
again - tnx alot!
Tnx! This solution solved my problem too!
Hi,
Ill try to explain everything properly.
Basically I reflashed my phone.
I made a backup of my contacts via memory card, and was hoping everything in gmail would be ok and that it would sync everything back the way it wad before reflashing. BUT
I reflashed and it did sync, but I found I had many contacts missing.
The missing ones I found where all my new contacts that had been saved since 2.1 update- hence I realised that when I saved a new contact I should NOT have selected "phone contact" and I should have been selecting "gmail contact." these options were never available in 1.6
So now basically what happened was I imported contacts from sd card and ended up with double copies and everything was screwed. So I spent ages going through phonebook and edited over 200 contacts individually but I deleted gmail section and now every contact is under "phone contact" and won't sync with gmail and I can't find an option to change it to gmail contact.
Basically. Help please!

well i dunno if you first download the b&r update and make a backup, cause i havent a problem, a psible solution if you sync wiht gmail, checkit on a pc, if u have a older bakup just restore contacts or use facebook sync or cry cause i dunno if recurva works to recover that info

whenever i open "people" it shows the list. i try to open a contact and it goes into frozen "loading" hell. just sits there.... loading... for all eternity. also contact names don't show up in text messaging screens. i can't add new contacts... anything to do with contacts is just wrong.... loading... for all eternity. i deleted any program that said "Facebook" ... still contacts stuck on loading .... please help... and i apologize if this same subject is in a thread elsewhere i couldn't find it.
try accounts & sync, remove then add google again, and see if that fixes it
If you saved your contacts as google contacts, why don't you try clearing the data under manage applications and then refreshing your contacts from google.
thanks! i couldn't delete gmail without going to factory default. but when i went to accounts and sync i saw fb for sense still trying to sync (even though i uninstalled it ) so that solved my problem
My phone book when i had my arc use to sync all the pics with fb but now on the xperia s it has synced a couple was wondering if there is a solution or any1 with the same problem. I have fb inside xperia turned on so it should work
thanks in advance
They'll all be in your google contacts already I guess, so merge them there and they'll update on your S as soon as gSync runs.

I can't do it. I have sync my contacts through my gmail into my xperia s and then I logged in facebook and checked the option sync my existing contacts. But nothing happened. What i do wrong ??
Go into contacts
Hit menu then filter . Make sure Facebook is ticked in the option
Failing this , I had a problem where my contacts came over and not the pictures .
What I had to do was uninstall the facebook updates . Turn off the Xperia facebook sync
Add the facebook app updates , log on and set it to sync all contacts
Waited for sync to finish then added xperia facebook sync
It then worked
I had the same problem! Facebook updates and everything but will not sync my friends' photo onto my phone! Had to use "facebook sync" from the store/play in the end
I have a relatively same problem.
My contacts aren't synced with FB. FB sync either way syncs all my FB contacts with phone number.
I'd like it to sync only the ones that are already in my phone. How can I do that.
I'm also having this issue, with my X10 it was just a case of going through each contact and 'joining' them with their Facebook profiles, although now I've moved over to the S I cant seem to figure it out, i have the odd couple of friends who have pictures as their contact images but these are either coming from Gmail or G+
the occasional Facebook picture will link up but not all of them like before
I had the same problem. Just go to the settings>accounts & sync settings and there in Manage accounts tab you should have facebook inside xperia and there you should have sync calendar, albums in agllery and contacs. Works fine on mine
Hi i cant seem to find this option in my XPS.. "facebook in xperia" as that of the arc..

Ahh.. will try that. Didn't work first time. Maybe more luck next time
Although I tested mine and it works fine, I use Friendcaster pro for push notifications and contact pictures. The pictures are a higher quality and look really nice compared sometimes. I used to use it as my main Facebook app, but Facebook have really stepped up how good their app is now
Oh and by the way there is a free (ad supported) version as well, called simply Friendcaster
I've always had a problem with the image quality, but now it also downscales the images I set to a thumbnail format. Facebook images and manual set images get (I think) sync with gmail, and get replaced by a thumbnail version (same goes for facebook images, so i assume it's the gmail sync.
Any way I can fix this ? I still want to keep sync with gmail, and the above app "friendcaster" I might try, but it wont solve the problem for manual profile pictures I set.
I hate this, I've got a huge ass crystal clear screen, and only low quality and/or images with 100by100 pixels
i still cant get the phone book to sync contact pictures with facebook. i get three different contacts when facebook sync and facebook inside experia syncs. i get different info for each.
do we have to manually merge all the contact info?

Same here.
The only thing Facebook in Xperia synced for me was my best friends relationship status lol.
Urgh! I do not know why. But this still does not work for me, and its a bit frustrating!
Anyone have any solutions on the new ICS for this issue>
This is due to FB and Google not agreeing on the way contact settings are stored. Doesn't work on ANY ICS device without some kind of hack.
Whats the flag which defines the sync?
Hi, my ques is that what criteria or field is it that is necessary for a successful sync?
Like, i have 2 phone contacts with matching names as on facebook, and same email as used in their fb a/c (both hv no nmbrs posted on fb).
But one contact sync beautifully with bday, photos etc, but the other has no info pulled!
So what criteria sets d sync???
(SE Arc S on GB unrooted)
So I noticed a few days ago that strange photos were being uploaded to my Google+ photos app, ( photos that seemed to be of black African ladies in photos that seemed to be taken in Africa ) , then some of my contacts went missing from my Gmail contacts on my HTC one , and lastly numbers being added to my contacts that I've never added. Now I'm just thinking it could have been an old android phone of mine that was never wiped and someone could have bought it. I've seen no suspicious activity on my Gmail activity report or no foreign log ins. And there are no strange gmails in my outbox , so I'm wondering if maybe Google made a mistake and two accounts are syncing wrong. Anyhow I've enabled two step verification and changed my passwords , just wondering what you all think ?
