If you are on ICS, use Haxsync, it syncs pictures in HD quality.
so how does haxsync work? does it save FB pictures and directly sync to google server?
Im thinking of doing multi-boot to ICS, install haxsync and sync then go back to cm 7.2 and have the contacts re-sync. will that work?
I'm a cm 7.2 lover as ICS isn't stable yet

Sadly it wont work that way.
Haxsync syncs your facebook contacts photo in ICS phonebook without phone number coz FB doesn't allow these app to sync mobile number. Then you have to manually join your google contacts with fB contacts. The only good thing about this app is that It syncs pic in HD quality and this is the first app which could do this job on ICS.

Sry for picking up an old thread, but is there any News on this?
I would love to sync fb user pics to Google, so I have them in my gmail contacts too without too much hassle.
Any tips highly appreciated.
Kind regards,

There's a support link for the app in it's Android Market description.
not all my contacts sync. For example, I have one contact that is in my friends list that will not show up in Haxsync...dont understand...
i have same issue with contacts not appearing in haxsync although they are friends with me on facebook...
Hi, I know that there is a bug/restriction on ICS, but is there a way to sync contact and events like birthdays on a new calendar?
Got it on my Evo 3d but I don't know if this is sense related function.
Thanks.
Syncing Facebook screwed up the contacts on my phone so I stopped doing it, it may be because of that or because of the spat between Google and Facebook.
Try Haxsync. It works for me. But it's paid for app.

Does this also work with the calendar? (calendar widget)
Only with contact images, there is no calendar sync from facebook.

The newest version of Haxsync can do calendar sync now!
i recently installed ICS on my SGS. now, I miss the samsung's FB sync that not only would get my contacts's photos, e-mails and also dates of birth and put them in my calendar.
i tried the FB app sync but it isn´t working. i'm currently using friendcaster but it only sync contacts's photos.
is there any better solution?
thanks
Ics disables fb sync for now

I have problem with my Xperia S,
facebook contact sync is not working properly...
Can not see fb photos in contacts and can not link google phone contacts to FB ones...

You have to stay in contacts and wait few minutes while the info is requested.

have you tryet synchronize all contacts not only phonecontact
Facebook contact sync was disabled in ICS, so Sony's version does that in a weird way. Try removing your FB account and re-adding it.
I had a hard time getting facebook to sync too. After a few minutes it worked, but it's kind of weird because not all the contacts sync.
The best to sync contact pictures in the highest possible quality is to do it with "Facebook contact sync" -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
You can adjust image quality, sync interval and more... Best app ever!

So much more efficient than stock FB apps. :good:
I'd recommend HaxSync ..
I cannot get the Top Contacts widget to work properly. After so many tries re-signing FB and FB inside Xperia, somehow I don't know exactly I got it to work and sync with the Facebook but after 2 days only I am now getting the error that there seems to be a problem with Sync and should be back shortly.
How to get it working again.
What's wrong with Sony's facebook contact sync? I can see that there is some apps from playstore that can sync the photos, but I prefer only to use Sony's sync.
Its strange, because some contacts is sync and some are not.
Had anybody fund the solution yet?

Are you using Google to sync contacts? If so try a picture from the phones memory and see if that helps.. Btw I sync with Google but no problems. Are you using full screen caller pics?

I have this same issue, only with me it happens with 4 contacts (2 pairs of folks with the same names) and their photos appear small and pixelated whilst others are larger, crisper and sharp.
I cant seem to figure out why this happens - cant be an issue with the matching names conflicting in the contacts database??

Are you using Facebook to sync your contacts photos? If so:
-go into the app>app settings>scroll near the bottom and un-check sync contact photos.
-exit the app
-go to settings and scroll down to the accounts section, add a new account
-Choose xperia with Facebook (by default this should sync hi-res contact photos and calendar (you can turn either or both on/off)
Using the facebook app account to sync contact photos will provide low-res. Using xperia with facebook will provide hi-res.

I currently have both accounts for this set up. For the majority of my contacts, the images are ok but i cannot shake the feeling these 4 instances are due to my contacts having the same name. But cant figure that out.
I have stopped my Facebook App Sync now so will try and refresh and see what happens with the Xperia Facebook account still active and see how i get on.

When I had both accounts syncing contacts (Facebook and Xperia with Facebook) some contacts would show the hi-res and some the low-res. When I edited the contact photo I could see both the hi-res and low-res available.
Once I disabled the Facebook account contact sync and kept the Xperia with Facebook contacts syncing, and waited a few minutes, only the Hi-Res photos were showing.

No you shouldn't have to, but give it some time to refresh, especially if you have a lot of contacts. I noticed with mine that while it was downloading images, if I went to a contact that still had a low-res photo and went into the contacts details, a few seconds later the image would update to high-res.

Managed to get to WiFi last night after stopping the Facebook App Sync and the issue still remained. I even sync'ed the Xperia Facebook once again and the issue remained.
I then decided to remove my Facebook account from my phone and recommence the process of adding Xperia Facebook account. However this did not allow all my contacts to be sync'ed from Facebook, so I had to resort to using both the Xperia Facebook and Facebook app running.
I then went through all my contacts and what you described above occurred - the blurred images became sharper when viewing the contacts. it was just a case of going through my list and allowing them to become Hi-res and the problem was solved.
A bit long winded but I am happy this worked for me. Still no real idea why it occurred in the first place and also why it only happened to contacts with the same names....very strange indeed!
Thanks for the help!!

You are quite welcome, and I'm glad it worked out, though the process was sluggish. In the end it's worth it because the hi-res contact photos look a world better.
Thanks for reporting back for others.
Worked for me too! Thanks
Hello, I had problems with this too, and I finally used HaxSync, but after I removed facebook app
