I was wondering how well Friends caster did in syncing contacts. I have been using haxsync because I don't use the actual Facebook app much. My sister however really likes the Friends caster interface. I was wondering if I could remove haxsync from her phone completely and use friends caster to to sync her contacts

Agree with dafoxs recommended app. Seems to work best for me. I've used haxsync and friendcaster and they seem to not be working at the moment. I'm on jb paranoid android latest version if that helps.
Edit. I meant not syncing with contacts at the moment. You could use Friendcaster along with app.

Thanks for the input and I will try that one for my phone. I may go with friends caster for my sister since it looks to be a better facebook app than the stock app.

I am about to give up on the entire Facebook bullcrap but I need an app for Facebook. Friendcaster closes every time I log in and seesmic just doesn't work to well... so what else is there? Just let me know what you guys are using

Yeah, I don't use Facebook but my wife does. She has tried all the alternatives and prefers this one
I use friendcaster as well. I'm rooted and use adaway to removed the ads. I completely removed the standard Facebook crapware. Doing that alone incredibly sped up my device.

+1 for friendcaster as well. unlike some official Fbook app versions, friendcaster runs better with correct task handling. no more consistent battery drain due to Fbook always running plus you have better sync frequency settings vs official app
Friendcaster and alphascope can easily be used. Alphascope requires request since it is in beta.
friendcaster is only for facebook.
Is there any app for facebook as well as tweeter (conbined) as is there in HTC-friendstream?

Tweetdeck, I think, has both facebook and twitter.
'Tinfoil for Facebook'
MoPhoACTV Initiative
i prefer "SimpleFeed"...
I have just installed Seesmic and this app has Facebook and Twitter but its just separated whereas tweet deck merges the time line! I like this app tho so will see how i get on!
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"
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
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!

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!

In hax there's an option on how accurate it needs to be. Go into the setting for "fuzziness" just don't hit the last option in it. Trust me lol

Hello children. Uhhhmmm I recently flashed epinters 10.1. Actually this is the first time flash a custom rom. I just wanna ask about my facebook contacts. I added my acct Facebook but it didn't snyc like blur does. I used sync me but wasn't satisfied. I want all my contacts in Facebook sync in my phone even though they dont have phone/contact numbers. How'd i do that?! Thank you.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Thats because this isn't a blur rom.
I recall seeing contact sync on android apps section.
EDIT: I cant fimd it, but you could also try in the playstore, there seems to be several apps that do what you need
