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

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 fb photos to contacts.

So for some reason, my contacts will sync with their facebook counterparts, and display their facebook profile picture in the contacts app, but when I dial their number, or receive a text from them, it displays no picture. Any solution?

I think it has something to do with the 'phone' contact overriding the 'facebook' contact. Either way, the way I got around it was by deleting all the phone contacts I had and just going with google and facebook. This, of course, takes away the ability to set individual ringtones (as far as I can tell). But it should solve the issue.

You can try downloading SyncMyPix from market also, it will download all your facebook contacts pics and import them into your phone and google acct contact pictures, but you have to run it every couple of days/weeks if someone changes their FB profile pic and you want the updated one to show up.

Contact pictures from Facebook sync

Hey folks,
I've synced my facebook contacts with existing contacts and the images are blurry as hell, like they are a tiny resolution. This used to happen on ICS but was meant to be fixed with Jellybean, seems to have reared it's ugly head again for me.
Anyone else getting the same? and if so have you resolved it?
Thanks,
Ben.

Would recommend Haxsync, it will sync the hi-res images as well as your contacts statuses which appear under each conact on your phone. It also syncs the fb calendar and allows you to set reminders for birthdays and events.
I disable the contacts and calendar sync for fb and just use haxsync to do it all.

You don't get people's phones though. That's why I use Facebook sync in the first place.

Fair enought, anyone I want to call I have their number outside of fb. Just use Haxsync as well as the fb contacts sync, it will automatically merge the contacts anyway giving you the number and the high quality photos etc...

I suppose I could do that. I hope it merges the contacts right this time. Last time i used it, it was throwing contacts all over the place. I had to merge them manually.
