May be a noob question, but a friend of mine has the Razr Maxx and in her Handcent conversation list it shows their Facebook pics. But my SGS: II is only showing the pics linked to their Google account, not their Facebook account. How can I link their conversation/contact pic to their FB pic? Is that possible on the SGS II? I can't find the solution
try hanxsync (paid) or fb contact sync. These programs sync the fb pictures to the right contacts.
Thanks but I couldn't locate either of those in the market :-/

It's "Haxsync" and "Facebook contact sync"

Haxsync lags and crashes the People app. I do not recommend it. Friendcaster is a facebook notification program, but it has a very good contact syncing feature and is free.
friends sync also works good

I use handcent with the original Facebook app and my pics sync. It reads the pic from the contacts so that's all u need. I had to mess with Facebook app a bit by clearing the app data and uninstalling and then reinstalling. But now that I have it , it works without a problem. It's a pain but it does work.

I did this, cleared data and reinstalled and and for some reason it still didn't work, so what I did was just remove the pic I had set for the contact and it imported their Facebook pic.
Thanks for the help everyone!

I'm new to the DROID x2. I was just wondering why the Facebook app didn't have a sync contact option and if so how do I sync my contacts. I went to accounts under contacts and added fb but not all are sync. Very little are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and girls.

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 am running CM9 on my Touchpad and I am using the Hotmail app.
I can sync my contacts OK but I cannot sync my Hotmail calendar.
I can do this on my Android 2.3 phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I use the same app and have no issues... have you tried wiping the app's cache and data then uninstalling and reinstalling
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried several times to that.
When I go to the stock calendar, the only account I see is gmail .
And if I add a new account, I get message that the account is already there.
Any other ideas?

I'm referring to the stock "Email" app that comes with Android. Or have you thought of using it instead of the Hotmail app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I believe this is a bug that started with Android v 4.0.x
For instance, my work email is a live365 account and my phone running CM9 will not my get emails, it's loading forever with default email app...
I have not tried the default email app.
The weird thing is that the email pat, even contact syncing works. It's just the calendar syncing.
I will post some screenshots of my TP when I get home.

With stock app, are you able to sync Hotmail calendars as well as contacts?
The calendar syncing is my issue, not the contacts.

I got sick of the Hotmail app and moved to the stock one and have ever since not been able to sync the Calendar. I'm not really comfortable with Hotmail calendar --> Google calendar --> Phone calendar. As mentioned by an other member earlier, this could've something to do with Android 4.0.x., especially since it was working with 2.3.6 for me. Have attached a few screen shots to show what I mean.
I guess this is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue with Android 4.0.x
This suck becuase I have all my dates in Hotmail calendar.
I guess should move to Google calendar
Simple change in settings solved the problem for me.
1. Set Sync frequency to Automatic - Push instead of Never.
2. Turn on Auto sync.
3. Wait for it to sync.
Live calendar will then appear in android calendar.

No the issue is your setup because I have 8 Android devices and all of them sync both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts (mail, contacts, calendars and tasks) without a hiccup

Whats wrong with my setup? I have un-installed the app, cleared cache, removed all accounts. I have used stock email and calendar app as well. What else could i try.
I really appreciate your help by the way.

Of course Ive taken for granted that you have double checked all your sync options in the apps you are trying to use and set them to push correct?
Also taking for granted that you have toggled all those settings on and off and rebooted in between toggles correct?

I have tried everything you have suggested, but I do not get the calendar sync option. Please look at these screenshots.
Hi there
I have an acer iconia a500 (ICS)and I have the same problem. Well, everything was working fine but suddenly my calender and contacts didn't sync.I figured out that microsoft wants us to use the dedicate app from the market. You can still use the stock email app for email only. What you can do is use the microsoft app only to sync calendar and contacts.
in some roms the facebook sync is disabled how to get it back on the roms so to sync the contacts...
Easy way:

This this:

In conjunction with getting rid of the god-awful Facebook app and using your Browser (which is quicker, less of a battery drain and doesn't scan your text messages!)
HD contact photos on Play Store, that app fixes blurry contact pics
None of these apps sync with facebook I dont. Have the pictures on my phone to do it manually
There is an option for fb
i use Facebook contact sync by danut chereches. it pulls 720*720 images and links it to your contacts. it can also set how often to refresh the info as well. you can set the pic size if u want as well...
it has a nice feature that links the contacts based on fb notes that are attached to you phone contacts when you first linked it via facebook's app. so it's practically automatic.

After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.

I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!
