Hi all,
I have two questions about the Contacts and syncing them with Facebook.
The first is no such a pain, but when i login into FB app (i've checked the "Remember me" checkbox and the login is successful), then I open the Contacts, FB extension asks me for credentials again. Is it possible to sync the login between the Contacts and the FB app?
And the second and more tricky question is about the contacts' photos. Now i have a successful fb login from the contacts, i have the "F" symbol on several contacts which photos were taken from Facebook, but when I sync with Outlook via ActiveSync, those new photos are not updated into Outlook Is there a way these photos (taken from FB to WinMo phone) to be updated in Outlook too?
Thanks!

I am facing a general problem with facebook integration in my new Legend. I've set up a facebook sync. When I link a contact in phone (google contact) with a contact from facebook, I can't afterwards see the albums of the contact or see the updates in people application. The link is working, because I am able to set the contact picture also from facebook, but updates and albums from facebook are not working. I tried also to hard reset the device and set it up again, but it did not help. Aren't you facing the same problem? I've opened a ticket to HTC, but I have to wait until they receive a Legend to their office :-D.
I'm signed in to the Facebook using Friend Connect application and in the detail of the contact in "People" application I can see updates for each connected Google contact <- Facebook contact. Updates are working for the Facebook status as well as for photos.
A cannot check it with Twitter, because I do not have any valid contact there
so, now the problem is solved. I started to have also problems with gmail contacts which refused to sync with gmail. Syncing was so strange, it was duplicating 2 contacts every time in gmail ... grrr horrible.
Then I deleted all contacts in gmail, also all contacts in phone, I cleared the cache for google contacts app. Afterwards I restored contacts from my last .csv backup in gmail and after sync all contact were back in phone. I lost all photos of my contacts, so I had to link most of them with facebook contacts. But it solved the problem. The integration with facebook is working again .. I was very happy yesterday.
Great
Thanks for the info
Does it exist like it did on the N1? I don't see that option and I enjoyed having facebook pix synced with my contacts.
go to accounts and sync and add facebook. go to contacts and link contact with facebook.
Hi, do you know why some of my Facebook contacts with number have the picture and some don't? I already tried syncing FB accounts
I have updated my nexus s to 4.03 (on two nexus s) but on one phone my facebook contact want to be linked
When I press "ADD ACCOUNT" can't add any facebook account to link with my contacts on other phone everything is fine.
Everything else is fine.
Google and facebook have some issues with the contact linking process. It can be hacked in but its not in there by default.
could you provide more informations about this hack please ?
it's not that there are 'issues'. google removed fb sync because fb refuses to let you save your fb contacts, so it provides a false sense of security, in the sense that the contacts always sync, but can NEVER be backed up.
if you want to sync fb, use friend caster. There's an app that will also sync profile pics, as well, but I can't remember the name right now.

I'm hoping its a file stored somewhere that I can just overwrite?
You should consider this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp&hl=en
You can use it to sync contact photos with your FB contacts or LinkedIn contacts.
Once you sync your photos they are synced with your Gmail cloud and will load even if you get a new phone.
Cheers
