I am trying to sync contacts but nothing shows up?? No friends or info I need help!!
Get out more and meet more people.
If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.
Posting this in multiple threads to see if you get an answer will just get you flamed. Just an FYI.
I am to, I emailed HTC and this was their response:
Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should. Right now there is an issue going on with facebook across all mobile devices, it is not specific to you or your device, we believe it is an issue with Facebook itself and hope that it is resolved as soon as possible. I hope that answered your questions, if you have any other issues or questions please feel free to contact us. HTC Technical Support.. [websites that I couldn't post]
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number 1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Sincerely,

FIXED!
facebook sync is working again as of 12:30 est
I am still getting the "service currently unavailable" message. maybe it is better to just sleep on it and try tomorrow.
It syncs my pic but no others doesn't even display any contacts to chose from...

Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?
I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.
It's not the Facebook app that isn't working. It's the Facebook for Sense that doesn't work. I've tried the suggestions above already.

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
sycmypix
for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.
IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!
Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.
... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.

That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.
First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect"
ok i thought it was just me but hopefully they get this fixed cause i like being able to link my contacts
I was using an HTC Droid Incredible to help my friend, and to sync up a Contact with a Facebook account, all I had to do was go to the Contact, hit sync or whatever, scroll through their facebook friends, select the right one, and it was done.
On my vanilla android, it doesn't have that option, and wants to shove facebook news feed onto a panel of my contacts, and if I'm not careful, add everyone from Facebook into my contacts.
Is the scenario I described first a Sense UI feature? Because if it is, Google needs to get on that.
Yes it is, it's built in; had it with my HTC Magic.

How does it work with Stock Android then, exactly? I don't want it to take over statuses and stuff really, but Profiles Pictures and stupid data like birthdays would be nice to grab.
Ok, I'm an iPhone user trying to make the switch to Android. This is my 3rd or 4th attempt, having previously tried with an HTC Aria, a Samsung Captivate, and briefly a Dell Streak. Every time, I have ended up flipping back to my iPhone, which, though not "geek cool" just does what I want it to do.
This time, I have the Atrix, and I'm REALLY close to switching. Love the formfactor. Love the screen rez. Love the battery life. However, one huge thing is missing. How the heck do I search my email? I have 6-7 email accounts that I sync up - 2 gmail accounts, 1 Exchange account, and various other IMAP and POP mail account.
In the past I've always been able to start a quick search and quickly find stuff I need. What was my skymiles number again? Search "skymiles." Boom. Got it. What was the name that Thai place I had lunch at with my friend? Search "Randy Thai" Boom. Got it.
Please don't answer with "Just use gmail" or "Why do you have so many accounts?" That's not helpful. I just want to know why Google, a search company, didn't make it easy for me to search my synced email accounts for ordinary stuff.
This is not a sexy feature, but it may be a dealbreaker. Help?
I tried hitting the little magnifying glass on the bottom right of the phone. That doesn't work?

FIX IT!
The Magnifying glass lets me search lots of things. Web, Apps, Contacts, many of my apps. But vexingly enough, not Email? Am I stupid or is Android missing a key feature?
Seriously, I don't care about searching the web. I'll use the browser to do that. On my phone, I want to search contacts and email.
Are you listening Google? Fix. It. FIX IT!
Works for me, once I'm in the email app...

Make sure you're in your email app. Then hit search button. And try out K-9 Mail
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Hi all,
Maybe I haven't enabled some setting (still new to the android game, even newer to the Timescape UI) but is there some way to search and link your phone contacts to facebook friends?
I've seen this integration being done using a built-in HTC feature.. wondering if there's something similar in Timescape that i've just missed.
Go to Contacts --> Settings --> Accounts & sync
There you can add your Facebook account

how do you guys get status updates to sync with contacts? i can get twitter updates to sync, but not facebook.
hey thanks for that guys.
@ thomassafca: yep i've done that, but what i mean is an app that runs through ur contacts, compares them to your facebook contacts and suggests whether u should merge the two.. not sure if that's what's happening atm tbh LOL but so far it doesn't look like a lot of contacts have fb details.
@androhero: thanks will give that a go, sounds promising.
haha tried life.contacts but if your contacts don't have the same name (e.g. first and last; most of my contacts in my phone are nicknames / first names only) it doesn't play too nice. would be great if you hv a clean contact list though, thanks for the heads up.
also (i'm an idiot) if you long-press a contact name in contacts it pulls up the context menu where you can select 'join contacts'. not quite what i was looking for (an automated suggestion app) but it'll do for now.

life.contacts works great, as long as the first name of the person in you contacts is exactly the same as there first name on facebook
hey! if you're still looking for a way to merge phone contacts with facebook IE their picture or status, what i did with mine was go into contacts, click on a contact and select edit. once you're in the editing screen for the contact press the menu button and at the bottom of the screen it will say join with two funny looking arrows..and then if your contact name is similar to any of your facebook contacts, it has that persons profile and you just select it!
if you know the person's on facebook and it doesn't show their name, sometimes you can edit the phone contact so it has the same name as their facebook page and join the two, then rename the contact in your phone so not every person has a first and last name lol.
hope this helps!

I second this as Life.Contacts widget/account-sync does work. However, I would just as soon have native Facebook sychronization. It works on my Thunderbolt, it works on my Moto Droid A855 (OG Droid), it works in my dev environment Android Emulator. _WHY_ Doesn't it work on the Xperia Play? Even on the "stock" Android 2.3.2 on the Verizon version (R800x). The facebook app works fine, except it has no settings under the "other settings" option inside the app, and if you try and add an account listing under your system Accounts menu, it just goes right back to the account list.
(Also, no it is not moved to SD, installed to a SD-Ext partition or anything else, just normal internal storage install directly from the Android Market)
Anybody have any ideas as to why?
Why would anyone want to put there phone numbers and personal contact data on facebook? That is just stupid. Why not just post your credit card information while your at it?

No, we are not putting phone numbers and personal contact data on facebook. It is putting facebook data on your phone.
For example. I have a friend John Doe in facebook. He is also in my phone. When he calls me, his facebook photo automatically shows up. Same for all other friends.
It's nice to see new facebook profile pictures when people call me.
I c. But there are to many people in my Facebook that I wouldn't want on my phone. A lot of them I don't even know. They just add me because we know someone in common. LOL
I had a similar problem with gmail on my iPhone all of a sudden I had everyone I ever emailed on my phone. Even people I only emailed once to buy something on kijiji.

Because your only meant to add your friends. People go crazy and add anyone they can its up to them.

That is why you just integrate the facebook info with only people from your contact list.
I just got my a500 this week and love it. Already have it rooted and have started reviewing Rom's for it, although I will probably leave it stock 3.1, until 3.2 Honeycomb is released (today hopefully, 8/25)...
I carry an HTC Inspire/Desire as a phone and love certain features of that device, in particular the keyboard and spell checker, but more importantly the way my contacts are sync'd between my exchange email and facebook, etc.
Are there any efforts to bring Sense to the a500, or any 10inch tabs for that matter and if not, anyone have a suggested app for sync'ing facebook contacts, exchange and other contacts into one app, as well as maybe a good keyboard with spell check?

If you want Exchange synced properly, I would recommend Touchdown. I have it on both my Inspire and my Iconia and it works perfectly. Documents to go works well and if you want a Sense like appearance, try Beautiful Widgets.
As it relates to Exchange, not sure what features(besides contacts syncing with FB) I am missing on stock ROM... I've read several people asking about Exchange email capability etc, and I was able to get the stock acer program to access mine fine... all my contacts, calendars, etc pull in fine, the only thing I wish I had was the app from my HTC Inspire that will link FB contacts to the contacts on the phone.
Any news about this, I'm also looking for a contacts app that could link FB, Twitter, Skype, pic, email etc to the contacts, I don't need the social updates tabs each contact has in Sense just the linking?

I searched earlier but I'm not looking for a way to make my A500 to look like Sense, I'm just looking for a contacts app that has the extra FB Twitter etc fields.

Nope, as I said I'm not looking for the People widget I'm lookihg for the People app. In fact I don't even give a s**t if it has a widget. I am looking for an app, that may or may not have anything to do with the original contacts app, that can link the different accounts of a contact in every possible app (Skype, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc.), I don't need to see any kind of social updates or what so ever, I just need it to put all these accounts in one contact form so when I open a person's contact form from this "People" app I can click on lets say Skype and it opens the Skype profile of this person in the Skype app or as it does already show me the options of "IM with ***", "Call ***", "Video call ***" or opens the Facebook profile in the Facebok app.
