Facebook Sync

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?

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 do i get facebook profile pictures to show up on my contacts list?

i recently moved from a mt3g to the vibrant. on my mt3g, after downloading the facebook app, i was able to see my friends' facebook profile pictures in the contact list. on the vibrant, it doesn't do that.
is there any way to make it so it does?

try out syncmypix from the market

I think you open the facebook app and you go into settings then sync contacts. If I remember correctly. I've done it without an app for sure.

I think you have to go to contacts and choose Get Friends from the menu - that will give you the option to import your Facebook contacts and then the phone will automatically link as many as it can and then the ones with linked profiles will have the Facebook pictures.

Kevnkate is correct. Assuming you have your facebook info stored in the Accounts app you just hit get friends and it pulls all that info. You also have the option to view different contacts. All/phone/facebook/etc

X10 Facebook Pics > contacts sync

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...

Facebook contact integration

Hello.
I have been using cm7 and loving it. Only thing I miss from original Tom is how facebook was tied together with Facebook and would provide updates and show recent picture.
Is there a way to have this on cm7?

No. One of the trade offs

Install Facebook from Market and turn on contact sync for existing contacts. Make sure the contacts on your phone have an email address to match with an email address listed in Facebook.

Thanks. Also I have seen Facebook picture sync apps are they any good?

I tried doing that, downloading Facebook and hoping it would sync everything but it didn't.
So I downloaded an app called 'Contapps' and through the settings you can sync your contacts with your Facebook account, and if theres contacts that don't automatically sync, you can do it manually.

facebook app will aloso sync if the names match exactly. I have mine all set like that and they sync just fine.

Mine seem to be syncing. They all show up as being linked under the contact, but for some contacts their picture doesn't show even though it is linked. Any ideas? And also is there a way to make it so those facebook pics don't show up so blurry in the caller id?

just upgrade to google plus and kiss Facebook Bye Bye.
If you need to see what person look like prior to calling them, you don't know them well enough.

Just edit the contact, and if they're already linked to their Facebook account, click the Facebook photo and choose to "Use this photo."

Syncing Facebook with contacts: some dont work??

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.
