The root of my problem is the Facebook Contact itself. Today, after I install Phonebook 2.0 and try to link contacts, I find something strange. I have one contact that has 'null' last name. The, I log in to Facebook website and find that contact has a normal last name. So, I think that there are something wrong to this contact. I decide to delete it and try to sync again. Then, My Facebook contacts are completely synced to my phone.
You should try this on your phone maybe it can help.
Sorry for my English.

Hello,
I used the "link acounts" facility for the first time on my Leo last night, after having it working on my Touch Pro for a long time, rather than linking the accounts, it has created duplicate contacts in my phone...very, very annoying.
Is there any way of turning these leo/facebook-created contacts off or deleting them before I sync the phone with Outlook and have to go through and delete them all there?
Thanks,
Max.
Not sure how you managed to get it to create duplicates? All it does is link the contact on your phone with there face book. Worked fine on mine.
Edit: Just a thought are you showing your Sim Contacts as well? I found that enabled by default i think. So when i copied my contacts to the phone i had double. Maybe you are just using the contacts from the SIM but then linking them to facebook caused it to copy them over.
Nope, not using any contacts on the SIM, and I have no idea it either, but it didn't link accounts, it just created new contacts for the Facebook contacts, alongside my old contacts. The new Facebook versions have a small "F" (facebook) logo in the bottom left of their contact picture to indicate they are linked. The old contact doesn't.

Just in case anyone else has this problem, I sync'd my phone, ordered all the contacts in Outlook by "Created" date and then deleted the ones created by the Facebook link. Weirdly, the links were instantly transferred to the correct contacts and life can once again go on as we know it.
Thanks to bzdemes for the reply.
it happened for me too. not all the fb contact where duplicated but just some.. random... well i don't know why but i've deleted one (the one not linked).
Hi,
I have a HTC Magic 32A with MyHero 2.0.5 ROM. I have an issue regarding the contacts sync with Gmail. After the new ROM installation, all contacts were synchronized from my gmail account. If I add a new contact in Gmail, that contact appears in my phone, after synchronization.
The problem appears when I save a new contact in my phone. That contact does not appear in Gmail, and after some time (maybe a couple of hours or even days) that contact will disappear from the phone.
The same problem I had even with the stock ROM. Does anybody have the same issue? Do you know how this can be saved?
I must say that in Gmail I have a group named phone and only that group is synchronized with my phone.
Regards!
do you effectively select "Google" as contact type when creating a new one? anyways it's strange that it disppears from your phone... I'm now using Magic GyD but I've been using MyHero for a long time and never had this issue.
The only Contact-Types I can select are Phone or SIM. But I can select the groups I created in Gmail.
could be a problem with MyHero, I just found a post with the same issue in the ROM's thread

You should actually be able to choose between "Google","SIM" or "PHONE" as contact type.
Yep... thanks for sharing that info. That's exactly the same. I will try to install a new ROM to see what happens. 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
Hello everyone!
This is my first post, but I was browsing through this forum a lot, it's great!
Anyway, here's my problem
I have imported all of my contacts form Outlook earlier. Now, when I sync them with facebook account, and after I set defoult name to be the old one (like old nickname, not facebook name) it stays that way for as long as I don't use it...
To make it more clear, every contact stays with it's old name until I send them a message or call them. Then facebook account takes over and makes it's name defoult.
I have changed that for several times, but every time I use a contact, it goes back to facebook name.
Has anyone had such problem before? It can be really anoying....
Thanks in advance!
I am having a hard time working this out. When I used my HD2 with Android and Sense, I had an option for linking FB contacts. I have researched this and done much of what has already been suggested. I even use Syncmypix to link contact photos to those of FB.
With my HTC and sense, I could choose to link an FB contact with any contact in my phone book. This makes sense as in some cases, people may not use their real names on FB... I would like a way to personally link them on my Galaxy tab but have NO idea how... On some contacts that are already linked, they have an FB tab when I click edit... but I have NO idea how to link those that are not already linked there is no option when I click on the menu button...
I have FB for Android installed. I do not have all my FB contacts on my phone. Instead, for sync, I chose sync only contacts which are already on my phone. Obviously, some did sync and others did not... I want to manually link them.
Can someone help?
I solved my own question... but with an error showing (but also with the result I needed).
Open contact, Go to the groups tab, look up the contact on the facebook group, click on the part that says joined contacts with the colored green icons... it will then open the phone book contacts for you to link them too.... it does not seem to work the other way round (click on phone contacts then link to FB or social network contacts)...
For me, once I did this, my phone screen went black and the phone vibrated a couple of times and then showed an error msg. Closing the error made the phone exit to the main screen... but the contacts were linked ofter that...weird! But hey, it works...
By installing the latest version of the Facebook by Facebook app and synchronize your phone contacts with your Facebook contacts.
