So the only method i found was using the My Diary app, which is interesting, but not very efficient, is there a quicker way to do this on the Galaxy S? Through the camera, you can upload to everywhere else except facebook, so maybe its a matter of updating the firmware or something...
You could email it to your facebook account from your camera app.
I'm a bit lost with this post - I have no problem sharing photos on fb straight from my SGS. Go into Gallery, select the photo you want to post on FB, then hit the share button and select FB.

Install Facebook for android. Then you will find also a facebook option for sharing
Install the official Facebook application from market. You can upload pics from there.

Nope fraid not
Yeah I tried everything, even online at Sony Ericsson sync's website. I matched up all my phone contacts with their corresponding facebook profiles (took a while), but this actually accomplished nothing on my X10. No updates, no extra contact info or photos synchronized, nothing.
You can link contacts on the device itself to their fb accounts and get status updates within the Dialer app and a facebook tab on a contact’s info page, but that’s it and it takes a LONG time because you have to scroll through EVERYONE you have on facebook to match them up, no way to skip to letters.
Thanks a lot guys, had to make sure

Agree - facebook integration needs to be solved.
It should be relatively easy to program the contact list app to suggest the facebook contact with the most similar name...
I know that Desire automatically connects phone and facebook contact list (though, it makes a few mistakes). Do you know if that's android 2.1 or HTC?
no idea why to link with facebook/twitter contacts anyways if information can't be synced.
it should save phone number field on facebook to the X10 phonebook ..then it ll be awesome
In Timescape, when a user posts an update (be it Facebook or Twitter) press the infinity symbol in the top right of the update. It will then ask you to link to your contact.
There is a bar down the right hand side of the contacts screen that just has the alphabet shown in it, pressing anywhere in here will take you to that letter, meaning you can add Tom to Tom quite quickly by pressing T.
Then in your phone book you will have a picture, a facebook/twitter update and their normal information like phone number/address etc.
Downside is, you still have to go through one-by-one and if you have friends who don't update Facebook, you can't add their pic to the phone book.
Sorry, pictures don't add still.
My bad.
Download "facebook sync" from the android app store.. Works a treat.
Ooor, just add the folder Facebook phonebook to your homescreen. Longpress on an empy area and press folder, Facebook phonebook!
Facebook Pics
Curious every app I try - I find that the picture QUALITY is horrible. So I have downloaded all the pics manual and gone into each contact to crop them from a higher resolution... Anyone found a faster/easier walkaround?
Thanx
Don't waste your time trying to.
You can do it via "link profile" if you have your facebook a/c setup but the pics don't sync only status updates.
Full functionality was introduced in 2.1 which updates pics and numbers etc with your friends when linked on facebook (and it links the profiles/phonebook automatically if you choose).
Just hangfire, or use SyncmyPix (market) for free, which syncs the pics.
Not sure if this is specific to FRF83 but when I got to my gallery, select photos, and click share, facebook is not an option. What shows up for me is picasa, messaging, bump, bluetooth, email, gmail, k-9 mail. Maybe I have too many?? Any ideas on how to remedy this? Thanks
EDIT: Ok it looks the option (in addition to twitter and goggles) appears when I'm viewing a picture. So is there no way to upload multiple pictures at a time to Facebook?
I've also tried going thru the Facebook app but it seems to only work with one picture at a time too..

Annoyingly not, although that's not a 2.2 thing, it's always been the case.

Short answer: you need to spend some more time with it LOL
Install FB app from market. It will ask if you want to sync Contact, say yes. Hit your tab by holding down the finger and select add Widget, you should see FB there. Add it then change the refresh settings to your liking.
Hi
thanks for the reply. I followed same steps but contact sync with Facebook is not good as HTC phones.

I have this same issue. THe sync with Samsung is HORRIBLE. Contact photos do not sync well, links cant be established properly and IF you can link contacts, you can't choose to use say FB's contact photo?? WTF.
Even Windows Mobile 6.5 was better than this! I could click on a contact... in options, choose link to FB contact and viola. GReat especially when some people don't like to use real or full names on FB and use different email addresses for work and social. After that, you could even hold down over the contact photo and then choose to use FB photo, something from the callery or even take a photo!
I used syncmypic to try do this and it helped a little but it still wont work fully.
Also... even if you manage to link contacts manually, you can't choose to use FB photo if there already is a photo for your contact... annoying and poorly thought out...
I use dolphin hd and the desktop user agent add on I only have the fb app just for the share pics and youtube option
I have Launcher Pro (paid ver) on my Fascinate.
I have sync'd all my pictures on FB to my contacts in the phone.
The phone contact list shows all the right pics.
My contacts are Gmail based, not phone based.
In my People widget the only pics that show are those who have gmail pics.
In my SMS app, it also only shows pics for those who have gmail pics.
What am I missing to get the FB pics that are displaying in contacts to show elsewhere?
...................
edit: use the app 'SyncMyPix' from the market. See below...
You need to go to each individual contact and merge them with Facebook. Additionally you will need to select each contact select edit and select the pic and choose remove icon. After doing this and saving the Facebook pic will be the one thats used not the gmail pic. I also had this issue which is how I discovered that this needed to be done, however I have found no easier way to complete this.

Well that's kinda annoying. I'd figure it would some way of using what ever pic was available, maybe Gmail first, then others. I'll check it out and report back. thx!
EDIT: Wait, if I select the FB image and then choose 'remove icon' doesn't that just delete the use of that image entirely? How would this fix my issue? Do you mean I need to save everyone's FB pic to my gallery and then set it as the image of the main contact?
Well figured out a good solution.
It appears there was no easy way to make anything outside of the actual contacts list show your FB pic after sync.
So I found this app that copies all your FB friends pics to their corresponding gmail contact image on your phone.
SyncMyPix
It worked perfectly on my phone and I was able to actually remove syncing my FB contacts all together. Which is good as that's less stuff going on.
Have no clue what Xanaki was talking about above btw, but this app works well and its free. You can even go Friend by friend to link to specific contacts if it doesn't auto match them due to you having a nickname in your list or something.
I now have it scheduled to run weekly to keep it all up to date.
I believed it was something about the Facebook API or something not allowing other applications to sync Facebook contacts.

Just got this phone. Would like to seek advice from experienced members here.
How do I set the gallery to show only photos from phone by default? By default the setting is all, which includes picassa and Dropbox, which makes opening gallery rather slow as it loads photos from there. Every time I have to set it to view photo from phone only.
Can it be done? Using stock stock rom but rooted.

the main reason i want to do this is because it takes a minute or so to load my photos due to the fact it is searching for photos on my picassa account.
however, i found a way to disable that.
settings->google (under "accounts")->[your email, under "accounts"]->untick "sync picasa web albums"
done! i also unticked sync chrome, currents, google+, instant upload, internet... i left contacts, gmail and calander as i use them.
thanks everyone for trying to help me. i really appreciate that
