Dear all members,
I just switch over from HD2 and I cannot find there is any option whereby I can set my contact's Facebook photo to be his photo in the contact?
Is there such an option or am I missing something? Please advise me accordingly, thanks.

I use an app called "SyncMyPix" which is free on the market. It updates at regular intervals. Try searching the "Themes and Apps" section of the X10 forum for more choices.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Just to feedback, I have download the SyncMyPix application and it is very good whereby you can link your facebook contact photo to your contact photo.

thanks for the feedback chongbh! i might have to try this out myself
Yeah, it's really good but it works best if you change the setting so it uses a higher resolution than the default.
I also don't let it sync automatically as it is annoying when you've got a good pic for someone and they change it to a "comical" pic or something!
While were on this topic; is there any way to automatically make your phone find and sync your contacts with Facebook? Instead of hitting "Link" then searching your contacts for the person
I think the name in your contact list has to be exactly displayed as it is on Facebook.

Yup all of the names are spelled right. Just I have to go into Edit-> Link Contact and then choose the name
Hey all,
Does anyone know a direct or indirect way to import FB friendlist to the x10 contacts, then merge them with Google contacts (Same as in HTC Sense).
I did manage to link 3 of my Google contacts to their FB account manually (Contact->Edit->Link Contact). Though, I still didn't get everything from this linkage, almost nothing other than the status. It didn't import my friends' display pics and albums, not even their special events like Birthday. I am sure there is a way somehow to do so. Does anyone know it?
Thank you
no one knows?
wait until 2.1 is out. 1.6 doesn't have this feature. my bro Moto CliQ, i also tried on LG GW620. But Nexus One can do this as its a 2.1 features.
That is good, I am looking for this feature too as I used to have it in my HD2. So now, I only use the SyncMyPix to sync the facebook profile photo and link to my contact.

Then I have nothing to do but waiting :s
I thought there would be a solution through Google's, Facebook's, SonyEricsson's pages.

Running a test on SyncMyPix right now
That was OK, thanks for the advice.. Still not quite the complete process I'm looking for.

i used to look for apps, then also link all my contacts to facebook and twitter manually.
after numerous amount of debrand, and root updates. and i never to backup. i don't bother to do it anymore. hehe.
previously, i even browse around all my facebook friends, take their hi res profile picture and put to xperia contacts, now i don't do it anymore. lol.
wait for 2.1.....
I would like to share about stock Social Phonebook on the new 2.1 update.
This is what I found so far. And please share what you found too.
As far we know Social Phonebook will automatically Join our contacts from Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Yahoo Messenger, Spotify, etc.
I. Facebook Integration
The most annoying one is when it change my phonebook name with the name from facebook. This is what I found about it.
1. SP (Social Phonebook) will automatically join contact from phonebook when it has the same name (first and last) or phone number or email. And it will show us the name from facebook.
2. If we join manually and our phonebook first name has the same name as the facebook first name, it will show you the name from the facebook. Example: phonebook name John, facebook name John Doe, it will show as John Doe.
3. If we join manually and have different first name from phonebook and different name from facebook, it will show us the name from phonebook. Example : phonebook name JOE, facebook name John Doe, it will show as JOE.
II. Yahoo Messenger, PingChat, and ... (haven't try more than that) Integration
Our new SP is a more complicated than the last phonebook. It has a lot more feature. It can even integrate with YM, PingChat and I assume a lot more.
1. If you put Yahoo IM in your phonebook and have YM official app at the same time. It will integrate seamlessly. Everytime you click your contact YM it will automatically in the chat mode at your YM app. You can even directly sms your contacts from YM app (if the phone number is support by YM). And if you choose Contacts Detail at YM it will show you whats in your phonebook contact accordingly including FB status from your contacts.
2. If you are using PingChat, you can link using PingChat app, or add it manually via phonebook. To add from PingChat app you could click link contact inside of the app. To add from phonebook you could add field->IM->Custom and type in PingChat insie the Custom Field Name and type in your friend PingChat ID for example : onetwothree (PingChat) <<== yes type (PingChat) too.
III. Powerful Contacts Avatar/Pic.
At the left side of your contacts name inside the phonebook lies your contacts avatar/pic. If you click the avatar, it will show you various pop up menu (most basic one is Dialer, Phonebook, and Messanging).
1. If you join your contacts with facebook it will show you facebook icon and when you click it, it will call FB official apps. (I guess this also applied with other join contacts? )
2. If you have either IM (mine is YM and PingChat), it will show you one of the icon whether it's YM or PingChat. When you click it, you can choose between the app and it will directly call the in the chat mode.
3. If you have address, it will show you Google maps icon too. When you click it of course it will show you the map location. ^_^
4. If you have email (I'm using K-9 Mail) it will show you K-9 mail and when you click it, it will bring the app in the send mode. (I'm using K-9 mail and Handcent, with the stock messanging and email the icon it's the same so rather confusing).
Will post more if I found anything else. Please share yours too. ^_^ .
Still have a Blurry Contacts Pic in call though (even using Timescape method <== thanks to tigermrk for mention it).
blurry contact pictures can be cured for facebook contacts at least by setting up timescape to your facebook and then that should automaticcaly sync to your phonebook then each contact will have 2 pictures when u click edit, then just long click the timescape picture and set as contact picture, save and exit
fully tested and working it really bothered me those blurry pictures lol

Yeah already try that method, better than default but still it's blurry. Should be more crisp. Our device capable more than that. ^^
yep agreed there.
i thought you meant the first stage with no timescape setup were its even worse

There's an option somewhere that you can show only contacts with a phone number... although I quite like having Hulk Hogan in my phonebook!

But when you send a text, and go to add contact, it shows everyone, and some multiple times over. Anyone know how to set that to only your phone numbers? Super annoying

The phonebook actually don´t work when you have two friends with the exact same name...
For some reason i have the problem that i have 8 friends, that in pairs of two have the exact same name (on facebook), in my phone i have given them alternative last names, or used their middle name when they have one, but the phone have combined them so they both is in the same contact now.
Pretty stupid system...
I can´t be the only one in the world with that problem...
Also an other annoing thing, is if eg. my gf have her phone number and e-mail on facebook, and i allready also had it in contact on the phone, then it will be there two times in a row when they are combined.
The system should be able to figure out that the same phone-number/adress/e-mail only have to be under a person once....
SE can make face recon., but can´t see that eg. two email-adresses is 100% identical...
I tried the system 4-5 days, but decided to shut it down again, as it was too annoing to use for real...

I am experiencing the opposite, When I have my friend name in my phonebook stored in his nickname for example his name in the phonebook is NOOB! and his real name on facebook is John it will show up as john in my phonebook contacts! Tried to do several times but it still replaces the phonebook name

Have you tried reverse join? The default one is join your phonebook contacts with your fb contacts. Try to join your FB contacts with your phonebook contacts. Sometimes if I can't join, I did it this way.

Can you explain a little more how to do this?
I tried viewing my contacts in the Facebook app itself then long clicked everywhere, tried menu button too, and found no option to link to my phonebook. Maybe I'm just missing something or don't quite understand what you mean :S Thanks

I'm sorry if I make you or others confuse. Generally what show at phonebook is only our phonebook contacts, meanwhile now we had other contacts such as facebook, twitter, etc contacts. We can enable it by clicking three people pics at the top left of our phonebook.
For example if you check all fb contacts, the phonebook will now show your facebook contacts as well. From here you could long press your fb contacts and join it with your phonebook contacts. That what I mean before. ^_^

I have tryed some apps (and this one too) but my frends name's aren't the same in my contacts....Just i want to choose (not the app) wich contact with what pictures to be;-)
I'm pretty sure that SyncMyPix has the option to manually link Facebook contacts with Google contacts. Long press on an unlinked Facebook contact.

Please post in the Correct Forums
Moving to General
Hello guys.
As the title, would like to know how to sync a single facebook contact, with a name chosen by me, to a single phonebook contact, to keep updated on the status and photos.
Attention please:
1) I KNOW THAT THE APPLICATION "Facebook to Android" ASK ME TO SYNC ALL CONTACTS OR ONLY THOSE I HAVE IN PHONEBOOK. THIS DON'T INTEREST ME BEACAUSE THE APP SYNC ONLY FEW CONTACTS AUTOMATICALLY.
2) I'M TALKING ABOUT ANY ROMS "WITHOUT SENSE INTERFACE.
I would simply like to know, (FOR EG) if I have a contact in the phonebook like "John Vodafone", how to connect it to the facebook contact "John Smith" doing it manually, to be able to update his status, his photo etc etc ...
Thank you all for your help
