How do i link my friends on facebook to the contacts in my phone? I saw it in an x10 video where when they press the infinity button timescape show the contact's twitter, facebook, and email accounts. how do i do this?
RTFM?
or failing that you could just click on the "link contact" button in the contacts entry on your phonebook?!

Maybe he's talking about mass syncing?

Does anyone know how to make the Vibrant show the Facebook photo as a contact photo instead of the Google contacts photo? On CM5.0.8 all you had to do was edit the contact and choose the facebook photo as the default?

you can use SyncMyPix from the market or you can go into. each. contact. and. select. "link contact". then. go. to. FB. and. link. them... one... by... one...
FARK!
I can not NOT wait until we get a stock Froyo rom on this thing.
I believe you go to accounts and sync and add facebook.

I forgot to add the part after you go to accounts and sync, you have to add the facebook account.

What do you mean by "add the facebook account"?
Under Accounts and Sync you select add account. FB will be one of the options. Add that and select contacts from its settings and it will automatically link your phone contacts and sync the FB profile pictures to your phone contacts pictures. It is pretty easy and works great!

Clarification I think
I think that I have the same question and its has not been answered yet. The problem is that the acounts are already linked; facebook and google. But it is using the google picture as the default. I have tried changing it manually but it always revert back to the goole picture. Is there a way to change the default setting, Any sugestions?
How are you guys syncing your contacts with their facebook profile photos?
I thought android did this out of the box? I'm running 2.1 build 8105 and when I go to accounts and sync in settings and tap add account, then facebook it does nothing... I am logged into facebook for android but nothing from there. Also I installed facebook sync from the market but that's not working either.

You gotta Terry to context the contracts yourself. Once you connect everything it will get updated automatically.

yes i also would love to know how to sync the contact with facebook contact.. like other android devices do.
Press the facebook widget till it turns red, then press menu and choose widget options. You can sync your fb contacts from there.

Another option is Google Facebook Sync. Instead of copying your contacts from Facebook to Gmail this takes the pictures from Facebook and matches them up with your Gmail contacts.

it add the FB contact into the contact of my device, but still not merge and there's no picture synced
Search the market for an app called "sync my pics", it matches your contacts with facebook profiles and adds the pictures for you. You can even uninstall it once it's done.

Hi guys,
On my Desire, I sign in to the facebook account sync and also the facebook app and it syncs all my contacts with pictures from facebook.
This doesn't seem to happen, at least not automatically on my GFs X10. I can link the contacts to facebook accounts but it doesn't pick up their profile pictures like the Desire does.
How can I achieve this?

Well, that option was supposed to be included in the now delayed update So if there are no more delays you'll get this feature sometime in october.
Right now, you can use an app like syncmypix which is free on the market. it will check your phonebook and try to automatically link your facebook friends' pictures to your phonebook contacts. You can manually cange the linking if it's making a mistake.
Sometimes, the Facebook app lets me choose someone's picture and add it as a contact picture (not exactly a sync I know) and most times it doesn't...

edit: never mind, misread your post...
you can sync your facebook pics to contacts through "Full Screen Caller ID" aswell
or Syncmypix
or 'fb sync'
I noticed that some of my contacts have their Facebook pictures associated with their info and there is a little Facebook icon on the contact.
Where are those contacts coming from? Is it pulling the contacts from my Gmail account and if an email address matches one of my Facebook friends it links them?
I'm just really confused. Also if I edit my Gmail contacts on my computer how do I get them to update on my phone? I deleted hundreds of "junk" contacts and they're still on the phone.
The facebook pics are pulled from facebook when the person has their number listed and u have the same number as a contact. To get rid of the junk contacts make sure every contact u need is synced to gmail then delete all ur contacts and resync from gmail.

In contacts, click the icon in the upper left that looks like 3 people and disable your facebook contacts from showing in the contacts screen.

im trying to sync FB contacts with my regular contacts list. now, on Froyo there was a menu item to sync with FB. but now, on Gingerbread, that option is gone. most of my contacts are synced but some people who have different FB names, FB wont sync them and i cant do it manually. any way to do this??
i figured it out, disregard. in edit contact you need to select "join" then loacate their FB page. slow and silly, but it worked.
Wait you got the pics to sync with the contacts?

yes. at first, FB synced like 95% of my contacts but left some not synced. i had to figure our how to manually sync them. you have to go into edit contacts, then "join" contacts to another contact (the FB one) then save it. more steps than it was on Froyo, but it worked.
I think this may solve the issue I'm having. Thanks.
I noticed I can't add any additional info to a facebook contact. I'm guessing the only way around this is to create a new contact and then join them?
Does this also update pictures as well? I see that fb has sync contact info but not pictures. Any insight is helpful.
