I cant disable them.. I cant disable the Gmail sync because other apps are using this account ()
And I cant disable the Facebook sync because the only way to do it is to log out of the Facebook..

Duplicate contacts

This social phonebook is pretty complicated.
I am currently experiencing duplicate emails for SOME of my contacts. I know one is from the google sync and one from the SE sync. Any way to fix this?
Also, what is the point of using the backup and restore for your contacts (as I did) if they just use these 2 other syncing services?
Also when you turn sync on, when does it sync? Any time there is a change to the phonebook?
So bloody confusing and complicated.

Then delete them manualy.
I think the Google contact sync is what causes it. Mine had 4 of each so I went Into contact settings and changed what contacts were displayed and. Now there's one of each again. I'm using 2. 2 Rom.

[Q] Only Sync Facebook Friends in Contacts?

So I recently upgraded to the SGS 2 from an Infuse...and when I set up Facebook sync on that phone I was able to select whether I wanted to add ALL facebook friends, or just the ones that were already in my contacts... With the SGS 2 I wasn't given that option, so now I have like 300 extra people in my Contacts list that I will never call, and a good number of them don't even have phone numbers... So is there a way to filter which friends are synced?
Same problem here....

Thanks, that's good to know. Problem is, that hides any "real" contacts that don't have phone numbers and shows ANY Facebook friend, so long as they have a number.

I am experiencing the exact same problem. I synced all my accounts yesterday and it was working great for about 3 hours and then it tells me "sync is experiencing problems right now" What is happening? Is there a fix for this?

Syncing Facebook contact pictures

Hello!
I just changed to a new Galaxy S3 last weekend and there's still an issue that I have not been able to solve. When I go to the contacts app, contacts appear linked to their Facebook profile, but I cannot see their picture. In the synchronization options my Facebook account seems to be well added and the "Sync contacts" option is ticked. I just want every contact to appear with their FB picture the same way it used to happen in my already retired HTC Desire.
Any help with this?
Thank you very much!
i couldn't get this to work with the facebook app (which was the only reason i downloaded it) so instead i tried an app called "syncmypix" which did the pictures > contacts sync perfectly

CONTACT SYNC into the PLAYSTORE is for FREE and you can chose huge picture size!
Is there no way to get FB contact phone numbers (if they're on there) without using the official FB app (which doesn't seem to work)?
Try to delete the facebook sync and re-do it. Not sure if that will help.
Longshot: Delete the facebook app cache.
Thank you all for your replies. Most of them are the things a "more or less experienced user" would have done and, because of this, I had already tried them...
Using either "Haxsync" or "Contact Sync" there are still some contacts that I don't get well synchronized...
I have also tried to edit some contacts manually via my Gmail account adding the HTC Data type information that is supposed to link contacts with Facebook (lines lika <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:YYYYYYYY</Facebook></HTCData>) but not even this way I've had success...
It's unbelievable how such a simple thing can bring so much trouble...
Ok, here's what I did to finally solve it.
With Haxsync, synchronize automatically the contacts the app recognised itself.
With Haxsync, synchronize all my other Facebook contacts. There's an option to do that, you have to select all your contacts from a list, one by one.
Link manually these contacts synchronized in previous step.
With Haxsync again, assign each contact it's HTC Facebook ID.
Now, with Contact Sync, do a synchronization with the "Sync by HTC Facebook ID" option ticked.
Done!
If you have a tidy list of contacts in Gmail, every one of them with its HTC Facebook ID, there's no way it can go wrong!
I use Facebook Contact Sync - might be better or worse than Haxsync, not sure - but it's free. It works but you have to do some manual labor to set it up. It could use some more features and support from the dev but at least it does the job...unlike the Facebook app...which is a total disappointment with syncing.

I've spoken with some devs about this and it's not possible because Facebook only allows addons to see/pull certain pieces of information. Birthdays, for example, can be set to private by FB users and so addons cannot pull that data - some people have it public so it works sometimes. I believe phone numbers are just completely off limits.
This works in Wifi connection only using the official facebook app.. It will not immediately load all the images specially if you have lots of friends but it will load it all.. If not try to clear your facebook app cache and data...
Using only mobile connection facebook is a failure, all the problems will start if you are in mobile connection :cyclops:

I have always tried the sync process with Wifi connection and the official FB app won't sync a single picture... It links most of the contacts and makes them appear with the FB logo, but it does not load the picture...

Wifi connection works for me... try clearing the data and cache of facebook or better reinstall the application then try to sync again using a wifi connection (make sure you clear the cache and data before uninstalling the app).. You may need to still wait for a while if you have lots of friend.
I'm only having problem if I use Mobile connection...
An additional question: do you know if we can make the contacts be shown with their Facebook name? This was possible with HTC Sense...
Im using the official Facebook for Android app and I have contact photos, phone numbers etc everything synching fine. And thats even with moving the data from one device to another.

I am using friendcaster pro, but the normal version should work fine as wel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...fyFree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
I have no issues and the best thing about that app are:
more function than original app
NO transferring of your SMS (unlike the original version from facebook, which does that)
nice UI
Make sure that contacts sync setting from facebook is enabled than try to logout from facebook app and log back on... It worked for me and now I have all my contacts pictures!
all the other applications doesnt sync numbers or emails from facebook only pictures !. can somebody tell me if there is a solution ? i tried all the posted solutions but non of them is working !

[Q] Gmail Sync isn't working.

Hello everyone. Me and my few friends in Pakistan are facing gmail sync issues. The sync is not working and hence the updated emails are not showing. Is this just me or others are facing the same issue? The youtube is being blocked over here so does it has to do something with gmail app?

what about push messaging in other applications like facebook messenger? is it working? what you can do is go to settings >applications manager> all applications> gmail and clear cache and data . or in the worst case you can go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account .these steps should solve your problem

Cleared cache and data, no use. It says waiting for sync but email not picking up. I guess it is a server issue with our region.

then it's the problem with your isp!
hello ,I suggest you to do it again the secont that you recommended jaidev.s (go to settings >accounts> Google and remove account . after that log in again using the same account )
synchronizer will work once all , I've tried too many times , currently does not recognize Account on play store ,after the above everything was okay...
Google had problems earlier on today with servers, so may be linked to that?
working fine now
sent from: designed for humans
I finally got mine working:
What I think got it to work was going into System Settings/Data Usage then hit the menu button and make sure Auto-Sync data is checked on.
Then I went to Apps/All/Email/Force Stop/Clear Data
Then I Added the Account back in and it worked!!
Just in case, I had also previously done the following (but unsuccessful until I did the above):
I've updated the ROM, removed/re-added accounts, updated GAPPS, Revoked access/Signing in again in Google/Account/Authorizing Applications

BLOCK/DISCONNECT Facebook/Messenger

Hey, here is my problem:
Facebook and Messenger are always turned on in the background and whenever I connect to the internet I appear online on FB.
Sometimes I want to use the internet without appearing on facebook and receiving messages. I know that I can use the log out option in both FB and Messenger but than I need to re-enter password and re-login with all those questions about syncing my device with FB. I am looking for a solution. Something like 1 button widget that disables/enables facebook in no time. I tried using some firewalls but they took long to work and when I wanted to turn back FB on I had to restart my device.
Any ideas?

yes of course you can chat even without messenger. chat heads wont pop up but once you open the facebook app, you will be receiving notifications in the notification bar.
