Have anyone found a way to back up the facebook links? It quite tiring to hook up the link one by again after flashing a new rom. Also is there a way to sync the Sense UI contact pictures with winmo outlook contact pictures?
No one i guess???
When you back up your contacts the facebook connection is saved in the notes field of the linked contacts. When you restore the contacts after a flash (and link your 'me' contact card to facebook) the facebook links are restored.

It isn't the case with PIMBackup AFAIK.
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
Hey everybody....
since saturday im i proud owner of an i9000 and i love it. What a great phone! But i have two problems with it:
Im syncing my phone with my google account... There i have my calender und my contacts without contact pictures. So i synced it and evereything is fine, until now.
Now the second step: ive got a facebook account and after installng the facebook app, i can sync my contacts on my phone (my google contacts) with facebook and link them. In the facebook sync-settings i choosed to only sync all available contacts. Everything seems to be fine, facebook finds some contacts for itself and i had to link some contacts manually. But now the first issue... The contact pictures of the facebook contacts arent shown in the contact list. i can see that the contact is linked to 2 profiles (google and facebook) but it doesnt show the fb-picture. So the priorities arent right for that. But okay.. I found syncmypix and this is doing this job. its a workaround, not more!
Now my big issue... a couple of hours later i had a look in my contact list again. The people that were linked with two profiles (google and facebook) were now linked with 3 profiles. (1 google, 2 facebook). Still a couple of hours later, they were linked with 4 or 5 profiles... What is this? Can someone explain this?
Thx ín advance!

Same problem here ... except I have 3 time the facebook profile
You can forget the settings sync all contact which is inside the facebook app.
You just need to go in sync account and select the sync with facebook contact
With this I managed to have only one time the facebook profile
I still don't have the photo but I will try your workaround
FYI, I think this is a problem related to the new version of facebook 1.3.1. I never had these 2 issues before ( but as I changed also the firmware to JM5 ... I am not 100% sure of the reason ...)

Hu? Where do i have to go? When i go to settings - accounts and synchronisation my facebook account is deactivated when is disable the sync within the facebook app... when i enable it in the settings i also activate it in the facbook app. and now, if i try to link a gmailcontact to a facebook contact, there are only my gmail contacts and i cant choose one of my facebook contacts...
? just a little confused... its my first android phone and everything is ... confusing. (before i was a WM-junkie)
Thx in advance!

maybe you should try this.
1. Uninstall syncmypix (because I don't need this to have FB picture and contact)
2. Go to Facebook -> Setting > Don't Sync
3. Go to Contacts > Get Friends > Add Account > Add Acount (you may see 2 different FB setting, but a little bit different in colour) -> Facebook (under "Integrated contact Accounts")
share with us if you get this right

hmm, sound good, but does not work for me either... Now i dont see any facebook contacts in my contact-list. When i pick one of my contacts (that have facebook) i click add link, but i cant choose from facebook contacts, only my google contacts are shown. I found the reason for that... When i go to Contacts > Get Friends > Add Account > Add Acount and add my account i get a sync error....
Good idea, but does not work....
No i did the following, but no success:
i uninstalled this crapy facebook app. after that i go to contacts - get friends - and added facebook again. then i had a look at settings - accounts - see my facebook account but get an error with the sync....
For me, the only way to stop this from happening is to stop the Facebook app from syc-ing contacts. In the Facebook app, go to settings > other settings > don't sync contacts. This should remove the repeated number of Facebook profiles in your contacts. if it doesn't you'll need to reboot. At least until a fix is found.
With every reboot, it adds one more repeated profile to the contact list; if you reboot your phone 3 times you'll see 3 fb profiles.
if you installed facebook app and asked it to sync it can kinda mess up your links.
sgs dont need facebook app to sync contacts and calendar from facebook, it's built-in already so just disable sync in facebook app and then resync all accounts. should fix. worked here anyway.
Same problem that you.
I use European ROM and try to change the firmware several times but it stilll doesn't work.
The problem isn't due to the app 1.3.1 facebook cauz i've already try to synchronise with a fresh Flash, the app wasn't installed yet, but still no success

i can confirm this... I also use european ROM, uninstalled fb-app and tried to sync via buildin Facebook connection. No sync possible!
Same here. FB-app 1.3.1 fault?

Same to me.
everything was perfect, then I upgraded to FB 1.3.1
I started looking in the settings menu, and I noticed a sync option. I activated it, not knowing it was a different thing from the built in FB contact sync of the Galaxy S.
Well, it added several instances of Fb links for each contact (one more every 3 hours).
So I uninstalled FB-app and widget, I cancelled all references to FB from my address book contact list, I deactivated the built-in sync as well, restarted the phone and I tried to use only the built-in sync... IT DOESN'T WORK!!!
There's no way to get the phone sync the contacts/pictures with FB afeter that... I tried everything except reflashing the phone or resetting it to factory defaults
The bug is probably related to FB app 1.3.1+
Does anyone know if there's a directory in the internal memory to wipe in order to "reset" all this mess?

Facebook relaesed FB app 1.3.2... No possibility to sync anymore... But you can use, like i said before, Syncmypix to get the pictures from your FB contacts to your phone contacts.
Another optins is uning Phonebook 2.0 (but i personaly dont like it). For me syncmypix works great is is doing exactly want i want it to...

FB Sync App
The problem I found is actually the FB app. I think by now most of you would know this. I uninstalled the FB app, and instead just use the Contacts native sync to add in FB account contacts...every one on FB with photos is now loaded into my phone...once...
The failure is fixed.. I think facebook changed someting, now you can sync via buildin facebook sync.. and update faecbook to 1.3.2! Then everything will work fine!
I know there is a ton of threads on this, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am using imilka's Glacier Sense v1.3 and I have all my contacts doubled. How can I fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Check by pressing the windows key when in the people/contacts which accounts you have selected to show, if you have phone and google choose just one. if you only have google, sign into gmail on your pc, select contacts on the left and then you can merge duplicates. on your phone resync google contacts under settings, accounts and sync, google account, and it should do it for you.

I have gmail and facebook both on there. I went into gmail and unchecked the option to sync with contacts. Should I leave this one checked and not facebook? I want to have my friends profile pics auto sync to my contacts. I did try to uncheck gmail but everything is still doubled. Will signing into gmail and doing what you said, have any effect if I want facebook to sync?

depends how you originally imported your contacts and where you saved them.
If on first boot you enabled them through a previous android build keep google contacts sync on.
The facebook side of things will sync your contacts, but not right away, it will try and match existing ones and give you a notification that contacts can be linked and let you check the right facebook profile is being synced with the correct contact.
Check you have nothing under sim card and phone accounts showing also.
Well I deleted everything data/cache with CWM. So I thought that would of cleared everything. I also did a full wipe of my SD card. I then flashed the glacier rom with CWR. I did however find a very easy fix to the contact problem. I was able to click view inside the contacts tab and uncheck any accounts that were set to sync contacts. So now my contacts only show up one entry. Now my problem is when I send a text, the contacts are still doubled. I am not sure how to fix that one..
Hello,
I am a new user of Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 (first time Android user) and I have issues with the contacts how it is at present and wanted your help to get those resolved.
Note:
I have Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Skype, Exchange account, WhatsApp are synced in the device, but I have disabled Contact Sync for all of these. So now if I go to Contacts screen I can see only Device Contacts which is GOOD .
Issue 1: Search
When I search for contact in the contacts screen the search result includes contacts from Gmail, WhatsApp etc as well along with the device contacts. How can we get rid of these?
From where contact search pull these Gmail contacts even if those are not available inside contacts screen? Same happen when I search for contacts from Compose message screen.
Issue 2: Call Log
The Call Log by default include all Call Log and Message Log. We do have a View Filter where we can set ALL Calls Only and this is a temporary fix for the view to show only Call Log. Next time I open Log I see both of them. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.
It's coz you must have previously synced your contatcs with Gmail / fb. Try deleting them all and adding them again from the backup. Also check the truecaller settings if any.

Thanks river-mystique, Yes when I setup the device with the Gmail ID it did auto synced contacts and later I disabled the Sync. So how can I remove all contacts and restore from backup? Or I need to factory Reset and Sync with Samsung Account? Also no True Caller.
Another question: If I factory reset and Sync with Samsung account (Where I have my contacts and SMS synced) and setup Gmail Again, will the device try to sync Gmail Contact again, as during device setup with Gmail there is no Option to disable Sync types. I think it is only available after the device is configured.
Thanks.
