Hi, after the upgrade to the new facebook app my contacts photos stopped updating along with facebook photos.
I've managed to update the photos by cleaning the facebook cache, going to the facebook app in the friends page and waiting for all the pictures to load up. But this is a very unpleasant thing to do all the time I want a contact picture updated.
Is there any automatic way to update the facebook cache photos so the contacts photos would also update? It would be nice also if I could have an automatic way to make the contacts pick the facebook photos and not the google account ones.
I tried syncmypix, but the photos wouldn't focus on my friends face as facebook does, so many photos were cropped in the wrong place and also would take forever to update. A more intelligent way to update the photos would be appreciated.
I would like to know as well?
You could try deleting the Facebook app, and using an older version?
If that doesn't work, it is a problem with Facebooks stupid sync crap, which doesntvload unless every picture is saved in its local cache.
Another thing, a new Google account without any contacts in it may be a way to go, just before you do, back your phone contacts into a .vcf file.
Hope it helps,

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.

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

I've already stopped the sync for FB albums, cleared the data on gallery, and restarted. However, this has proved to only be a temporary fix. Does anybody else know what could be the problem?
Thanks.

Is it your Facebook app? Did you tell it to sync contacts when you installed it? Touchwiz only syncs calendar and albums by default, not contacts.

I had it sync with existing contacts. But, I'm telling it not to sync albums and yet they appear in my gallery.

not sure if it is exactly what you are looking for but from within the Gallery app, you can hit menu, view by, and then pick Content in Device.

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 !
Hey,i worked a bit on my phone marging the numbers to the right facebook profile so ill be able to see my contacts with their facebook profile picture.
The question is how do i save it all?i mean,i once did it then when i switched ROM and loaded the gmail contacts they loaded but without all the pictures.
Any solutions to save it so when ill wipe / change ROM the facebook profile picture will remain?
I'm using the "SyncMyPics" app.
This will sync all pictures of Facebook with ur contacts (lokal/google) without having synchronize with Facebook app etc.
So this means after sync of pics, u can sync to Gmail and all is fine also after a restore because pics will be saved, too
Hope u understand what I wrote

yes i see,but in my case there are names in hebrew and on facebook they appear in english so the software doesnt recognize them..this application can sync the pictures that already exist (because i marged each contact with facebook) to gmail account?
edit:
FOUND THE SOLUTION!
i found this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550068
its a great software and working well,the facebook picture will remain in google's contacts and theres an option to update the pictures of the profle(in case the person changed the picture and you have the old one)

Oh ok...
No the software only load the pics from the profile of each person and set this to local profile in contacts. This profile will be sync to Google (Without the software)
And u Facebook contact only sync with facebook so no direct contact from pics to local profile (bad explained )
Hmm...
No idea atm, but that was the reason why I used the software.
PS: Only option I see is to download all Facebook pictures and set them as profile picture on ur phone contacts
Sorry and CHEERS
