Hello everyone, does anyone know how to link Myself to my facebook account in the phone contact page? I have no problems with linking all my friends to their facebook account. I just can't figure out how to link myself to my own facebook account. I remember that we were able to link Myself to our facebook account on the old Sony Ericsson x10... But it seems that we cant do it anymore here can we??
My facebook inside xperia is on and active sync is also on. Again like I said I can link all my friends to their facebook account but just not mine. I want Myself to have those cool xperia facebook integration as well, anyone know how we do that??

Linking email grabs G+ data, but no, cant add myself in.
To do it, you'd need to have yourself as a friend on FB, which isnt possible.
Wait for ICS, then download HaxSync. It has done the job for me with CM9 on my X10 Mini Pro. Should do it with XS soon.

hi guys I managed to root my x10 2.1 with z4root and use titanium to freeze timescape and other crap.
before with 1.6 it stopped my phone book from working. but now its fine without the bloat crap running. but what it has done its stopped my contacts from linking automatically to Facebook.
to get their pictures up I have to manually set it in the contacts edit menu then their pic comes up.
anyone found a way of a work around so the se apps stop depending on timecrap?
could do with a 3 party camera operator all in all. don't evenl like mediascape. keyboard is ****, I'm is h the HTC keyboard hack, are their any updates on the sweet keyboard as it sometimes goes crazy and keeps the button pressed.
thanks for reading this is my first post and I have to say I have been following, and what a bad ass community!

I have the same question, is timescape the only way to integrate pictures into the phonebook?
download the facebook apk from the market... it allows to synchronize the phonebook with facebook contacts...
yeah I did that good idea.
but I had to import all the contacts.
there isn't away to link your contacts manually straight to the phone book. so I now have alot of contacts that I don't want.
I wish we could import our selected friends list from Facebook instead of all its contacts.
so what I've done is put all my contacts that I use that I have numbers for into my favorite list. but I wish I could create a shortcut straight to favorite list rather than phone book.
one thing I'm interested to find out is that if I remove my Facebook contacts will the linked numbers keep their link with Facebook on the original phone entries.....
to scared in case it doesn't work otherwise it took to long to link and it would of been a waste of time.

Sadly, to do what you want you will need timescape

Hi,
Bought an S2 couple of weeks ago. Great phone with superb performance.
However I am having a prob with FB integration.
Despite installing the 'Facebook for Android' app and creating an account in Samsung Social Hub, I am unable to sync my existing contacts and FB calender entries onto my device.
The 'sync all' option in 'FB 4 Android' app (and sync on Social Hub) creates a separate contact instead of combining it with existing ones and 'sync existing contacts' doesn't work.
In calender, special events are getting tabulated but birthdays are not getting recorded.
I am currently using the 'Birthdays - Free' app frm the Market to address the calender sync issue. Its a gr8 app, give it a try.
However, plz help me out with the calender sync issue.
I'm not sure because i'm not using samesumg hubs and i dont't have it on my phone. But i think there is an option to join contacts.

Exactly the prob m facing..
My friend had no issues on his xperia neo V for sync using the facebook 4 android app..dunno why bt it isn't workin for my i9100..
i have no problem in syncing my contacts but i would like help on setting their fb profile pictures as their caller i.d pictures. im using the rom from here:

If the contacts are synced with FB but don't show their FB picture, try loading them in the FB app at least once.

Problem Solved Thanks!!!
it worked but not on all contacts?
Should have worked, if they are joined properly.
Some have and some dont and I've tried loading the ones that don't work

Does this solves the problem for ICS Roms, which have NO FB contacts sync on Social Hub?
Thanks
Should just try

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)
Sorry for all these questions but I wanted to know if there was a way to sync facebook contacts to the phonebook contact picture. coming off the HTC amaze, this was a pretty cool feature. Does anyone know if this is possible with the SG3?
You can either install Facebook and select that in options, or go to accounts within the phone settings, and add the facebook sync account.
Use haxsync. Works pretty well but not as good as HTC. Also not free. I've tried other app but this one works best.

Hi,
I recently updated to jelly bean CM10. I can't add facebook account under settings-> accounts-> facebook.
It just comes out when I try to add facebook account. Hence unable to synch up facebook contacts.
Can someone suggest a work around?
BTW i am using a moto defy plus.

I mean, nothing happens when I add facebook account. Finally I installed Facebook contact Sync app from Google play. So I have found a work around but the original problem still persists. I even found some threads going on about this same topic.
from ics up, android is no longer able to synchronise with facebook.
its a known unresolvable issue... facebook as of now cannot be synced

I was just about to suggest Facebook Contact Sync, there isn't really that much extra that can be gained from having the Facebook app synced directly.
IIRC, birthdays might be a problem with FCS, but I use Ebo Birthday for that anyway.

Its because it is not supported. As simple as that! Use Haxsync for this purpose. for syncing birthdays best way is to add your FB calendar in Google calendar. Haxsync syncs calendar too.

Haxsync has issues with CM10.. use Facebook Contact Sync from play store.. i'ts free and functional.
