Missing Facebook contacts??

For some reason I do not find all my FB contacts to link contacts of my HD2?
I do not what causes that but my FB application and HD2 when trying to link user to fb user... it doesn't find all my fb friends... I have about ~250 friends...
Are you trying to link your contacts to their fb accounts?
The HD2 automatically links contacts to their fb profiles if their names match. If their names do not match you will have to link them manually by selecting the contact --> edit contact --> Associate with facebook account (scroll to bottom)
(Note: some people have said it can also link by email address, but I have had no success with this)
Or do you mean that some fb friends do not appear in the associate list? I have had this issue a couple of times, try restarting the device or logging out and back into facebook via accounts manager?

This one... and all my friends are also invible in FB app v1.1.0.17.
And... I've tried reset and restarting my device soooo many times to get this working...
Hmm... accounts manager?? My bells are not ringing?
Account manager: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager
Also try Settings Tab --> Data Services --> facebook --> tick Download data Automatically
Also try finding profiles over WiFi as opposed to 3g?
Hope this helps

Damn don't work... I've about 280 friends and in list where I can choose contact for linking I see only 196 contacts...
C'mon guys I am desperate about this situation....
have you logged into facebook via sense or are you just using the fb app ?
Both... However... FB app is working ok but sense don't update anything anymore...
It seems that now it is time to update Energy ROM again
Damn... after updating ROM to Energy_Sense 18.9 version I still do not have ability to sync all my contacts to facebook contact. Sense only see 195 FB contacts.
I've been having the same problem for a few months now. I've got a stock HTC Pure and I'm using the ordinary Facebook app downloaded from MS Marketplace.
When the HTC Sense tries to link a contact on my phone with one of my FB friends, not all my friends show up in the list, even after refreshing. Brand new friends just added show up, but a small handful of existing friends are not in the "Link Profiles" list.
Also, those same friends are not showing up in the Facebook app. When I view my friends list, they are simply not there, as if we're not even friends. Even weirder, if I search for those friends by name or email or phone #, no results appear. So I can't view their wall or profile or anything.
Another weird thing about this is that if one of those friends sends me a message through FB, it shows up in my message section of the app, but there's no name next to it, and no profile pic (just the generic pale blue head icon). If one of those friends posts on my wall, their words show up in the app but there's no name or pic beside the post.
I tried everything from updating the app to hard resetting the phone, but still the same problem. We tried entering the city in the employer section like someone mentioned already, but that had no effect.
Anyone else have these issues? Any resolutions yet?
I'm having similar problem today, but using the method: Start --> Settings --> Connections--> Account Manager, logout the FB. Then go back to FB on sense to login, everything back to normal.
Thanks jwchips for the tips!

[Q] SNS Contact Integration in ICS Missing?

Hi, I just upgraded my Galaxy S2 to ICS XLP7 a few days ago from Kies. However, I found that the SNS contact integration to Facebook and LinkedIn is missing. I used the Social Hubs app to sign in. Those contacts will not appear in the contacts app...
The phone is rooted using CF-root. When I go to Settings>Accounts and Sync>Facebook. It only has setting for Sync Calendar and Message.
I have tried to remove the account and re-add it to no avail...Please help! It's been driving me crazy because it worked smoothly in Gingerbread before.
Thank you in advance!
Same Here
I also recently updated to ICS in my Galaxy S2, And i found out Samsung had took the contacts SNS integration from the new update and put on Google talk status message on the contacts to whom you add the IM id.. This is insane.. Plan to go back to 2.3.6 GB.. Any options of adding status updates of Facebook to the contacts...
facebook integration gone.
its happened to me too..
Integration only with google plus now!!!
contacts - section is looking really bad, low clarity photos too
Guys Facebook sync has been removed in ICS by Google..
If you want you can use Hax Sync from the play store to sync your Facebook contacts..

[Q] Sync only one contacts list from Google account?

Hi,
First of all, JUST RECEIVED MY SIII
I'm messing around with it, and I can only say it's a BEAST!!
But the first little problame I cam across is the syncing of my contacts. I have a list in gmail of my phone contacts (so I don't have to have ALL my gmail contacts) but I can't find in android 4 how I can only select this list ... can someone help me?
Thanks!
Sam
I can't believe this is not possible ...
I think it depends on the dialer/contacts/people app combo. I know I could select which groups of contacts was shown in ICS on my HTC Desire (menu/accounts in the contact list), but I don't have the option on the contacts/people app currently in use in the BlackStar rom.

[Q] Any workarounds yet to get fb contacts to show up in whatsapp

This is from the whatsapp website FAQ
Note: WhatsApp cannot sync with Facebook friends, so you will need to manually enter their phone numbers in your address book in order for WhatsApp to find them.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any workaround for this....

1. Download the official Facebook app.
2. Sync your Facebook contacts with your phone.
3. Only the official Facebook app has the power to sync Facebook contacts + their phone numbers in ICS upwards
4. Check your whatsapp now, you should notice the difference.
Done

Get my simple points:
1. Whatsapp will only show your contacts with phone numbers
2. Only the official Facebook app can sync Facebook contacts with their phone numbers.
3. Use the official Facebook app to sync your contacts
Got it?

1) yes whatsapp shows every other contacts with numbers but fb contacts
2) yes only the official fb app can sync contacts with numbers...
3) I have them synced to my contacts ..the numbers are visible there..
the above process doesnt help in getting the fb contacts to show up in whatsapp as mentioned in the OP
but thanks for trying to help mate...

Ok.
Please tell me which of these interpretations of your question is most correct:
# you want to see all your Facebook contacts with whatsapp account inside your whatsapp app?
# You want to also see your Facebook contacts in "all contacts" part of your whatsapp?
BTW, can you please post your ROM details?

# you want to see all your Facebook contacts with whatsapp account inside your whatsapp app?
I want the fb contacts to show up ' inside the whatsapp app '
thanks again for your patience...

1. You forgot to post your ROM details
2. I don't use Facebook app, so I'll try to install it now (i only have version 1.9.3), I'll then test and see. I'm on a Jellybean ROM, and I'm not sure if the app will sync contacts.
Anyhow, I'll let you know how it goes.

my bad..edited the previous post....
I believe its not possible to sync fb numbers to the phone contacts in (people app) AOSP based roms. It was not possible a while ago not sure about now.

Ok.
Tested it but Facebook won't sync my contacts.
Yeah Facebook still can't sync contacts to the People (Aosp) app. It was possible to sync on some AOKP based ROMs in the ICS days but I've never been able to sync contacts in CM9/CM10 based ROMs.
... well, except i use some other apps, and those apps cannot sync phone numbers.

fb contact no# was the only reason i switched back to Stock based roms, meanwhile i hope some one finds a workaround for the whatsapp issue..

I'll test and report about the whatsapp once i have the chance to dual boot with a stock ROM.
- from my past experience, my whatsapp contacts always triple from about 150 to 500 once i sync my Facebook contacts. I don't know if things have changed now.

[Q] How can I add phone number to synced facebook contacts ?

Hello guys I just got my galaxy S5 and I'm about to freak out !!!
I synced the phone with my facebook , now I have all my facebook friends in my phone contacts but I CAN NOT edit them and add their phone number !!!
is there any one who can help me with that ?!!? I looked everywhere on the internet and I didn't find anything !
how can I edit and add phone number to my synced facebook friends in my galaxy s 5 contacts ?!?!?
The Samsung contacts app has a combine function in which u can combine the same contact from different apps, so u can use that to combine a Facebook contact with their phone no (which would be a Google/phone contact)
Just open the contact page, scroll down to connection, select add a connection
