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.
I would like to share about stock Social Phonebook on the new 2.1 update.
This is what I found so far. And please share what you found too.
As far we know Social Phonebook will automatically Join our contacts from Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Yahoo Messenger, Spotify, etc.
I. Facebook Integration
The most annoying one is when it change my phonebook name with the name from facebook. This is what I found about it.
1. SP (Social Phonebook) will automatically join contact from phonebook when it has the same name (first and last) or phone number or email. And it will show us the name from facebook.
2. If we join manually and our phonebook first name has the same name as the facebook first name, it will show you the name from the facebook. Example: phonebook name John, facebook name John Doe, it will show as John Doe.
3. If we join manually and have different first name from phonebook and different name from facebook, it will show us the name from phonebook. Example : phonebook name JOE, facebook name John Doe, it will show as JOE.
II. Yahoo Messenger, PingChat, and ... (haven't try more than that) Integration
Our new SP is a more complicated than the last phonebook. It has a lot more feature. It can even integrate with YM, PingChat and I assume a lot more.
1. If you put Yahoo IM in your phonebook and have YM official app at the same time. It will integrate seamlessly. Everytime you click your contact YM it will automatically in the chat mode at your YM app. You can even directly sms your contacts from YM app (if the phone number is support by YM). And if you choose Contacts Detail at YM it will show you whats in your phonebook contact accordingly including FB status from your contacts.
2. If you are using PingChat, you can link using PingChat app, or add it manually via phonebook. To add from PingChat app you could click link contact inside of the app. To add from phonebook you could add field->IM->Custom and type in PingChat insie the Custom Field Name and type in your friend PingChat ID for example : onetwothree (PingChat) <<== yes type (PingChat) too.
III. Powerful Contacts Avatar/Pic.
At the left side of your contacts name inside the phonebook lies your contacts avatar/pic. If you click the avatar, it will show you various pop up menu (most basic one is Dialer, Phonebook, and Messanging).
1. If you join your contacts with facebook it will show you facebook icon and when you click it, it will call FB official apps. (I guess this also applied with other join contacts? )
2. If you have either IM (mine is YM and PingChat), it will show you one of the icon whether it's YM or PingChat. When you click it, you can choose between the app and it will directly call the in the chat mode.
3. If you have address, it will show you Google maps icon too. When you click it of course it will show you the map location. ^_^
4. If you have email (I'm using K-9 Mail) it will show you K-9 mail and when you click it, it will bring the app in the send mode. (I'm using K-9 mail and Handcent, with the stock messanging and email the icon it's the same so rather confusing).
Will post more if I found anything else. Please share yours too. ^_^ .
Still have a Blurry Contacts Pic in call though (even using Timescape method <== thanks to tigermrk for mention it).
blurry contact pictures can be cured for facebook contacts at least by setting up timescape to your facebook and then that should automaticcaly sync to your phonebook then each contact will have 2 pictures when u click edit, then just long click the timescape picture and set as contact picture, save and exit
fully tested and working it really bothered me those blurry pictures lol

Yeah already try that method, better than default but still it's blurry. Should be more crisp. Our device capable more than that. ^^
yep agreed there.
i thought you meant the first stage with no timescape setup were its even worse

There's an option somewhere that you can show only contacts with a phone number... although I quite like having Hulk Hogan in my phonebook!

The phonebook actually don´t work when you have two friends with the exact same name...
For some reason i have the problem that i have 8 friends, that in pairs of two have the exact same name (on facebook), in my phone i have given them alternative last names, or used their middle name when they have one, but the phone have combined them so they both is in the same contact now.
Pretty stupid system...
I can´t be the only one in the world with that problem...
Also an other annoing thing, is if eg. my gf have her phone number and e-mail on facebook, and i allready also had it in contact on the phone, then it will be there two times in a row when they are combined.
The system should be able to figure out that the same phone-number/adress/e-mail only have to be under a person once....
SE can make face recon., but can´t see that eg. two email-adresses is 100% identical...
I tried the system 4-5 days, but decided to shut it down again, as it was too annoing to use for real...

I am experiencing the opposite, When I have my friend name in my phonebook stored in his nickname for example his name in the phonebook is NOOB! and his real name on facebook is John it will show up as john in my phonebook contacts! Tried to do several times but it still replaces the phonebook name

Have you tried reverse join? The default one is join your phonebook contacts with your fb contacts. Try to join your FB contacts with your phonebook contacts. Sometimes if I can't join, I did it this way.

Can you explain a little more how to do this?
I tried viewing my contacts in the Facebook app itself then long clicked everywhere, tried menu button too, and found no option to link to my phonebook. Maybe I'm just missing something or don't quite understand what you mean :S Thanks

I'm sorry if I make you or others confuse. Generally what show at phonebook is only our phonebook contacts, meanwhile now we had other contacts such as facebook, twitter, etc contacts. We can enable it by clicking three people pics at the top left of our phonebook.
For example if you check all fb contacts, the phonebook will now show your facebook contacts as well. From here you could long press your fb contacts and join it with your phonebook contacts. That what I mean before. ^_^

Hi guys
i just bought my galaxy tab and spent last one hour playing it. I have choose galaxy tab over ipad just because its size that it comparatively handy.
I am a HTC desire user and i am very obsessed by the HTC desire Facebook integration. I couldn't find same functionality in galaxy tab. Could you please help me to find out how can i get following functioanalities.
1. How can i get Facebook widget like HTC has where can i see my friends update?
2. How can i get Facebook sync with my friends contacts like HTC. I can see my Facebook contacts but i want them to link with my Google accounts?
3. How can i get contacts widget like HTC in galaxy tab where can i see their Facebook profiles pics?

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
Hi
I just switched to Oxygen ROM which is amazing btw and my battery is lasting forever compared to stock... but there is some thing i do miss, the HTC Link in the contacts... which was pretty useful...
Also could anyone tell me how I can put Own Number and contact, so that it shows my picture in while am texting....
i'm not sure, but i think go cotacts has some of the features.

No in Go contact it's a merge option.
Me too I search an app with the link between contact. If you find one tell me.
A bit complicated but to link contacts, open a contact -> menu - edit contact -> menu -> join contact.
To make your contact photo show, just make sure you are in your address book with the same number as your phone. If you are in your address book and you're still not showing up, check your number is provided by your SIM by going to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The "My Phone Number" should be populated with your number. If not, get an app off the market to edit your SIM. I used this one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/my-phone-number/org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Not sure if this is relevant to what you want to know, but there is a free app called SyncMyPix which forces all of your contacts to be represented by their facebook profile pictures. I found it useful on AOSP roms which dont seem to sync these pictures well
I'd try dialer one...gives you a link to you contacts.

Like davidbis mentioned use join contact feature it works completely the same like it was working with stock HTC rom. I've been confused with that as well, but worked fine.
Hi,
Anybody knows of an app that merges / joins contacts?
HTC Sense has this function if you know what I mean, sometimes a chain-link icons shows up in the notification area.
I´d like to have an app that does this on a batch basis so that I can chose to do so for all my contacts instead of merging / joining one by one.
I know I can do this one by one. Go contacts Ex gives this function without doing it for everyone at one batch job. You have to acceppt one by one...
I am using , Google, ActiveSync, Facebook, Whatsapp etc. contacts
Ideas?
@davidbis
Thx 4 Link works great for me

Hello guys.
As the title, would like to know how to sync a single facebook contact, with a name chosen by me, to a single phonebook contact, to keep updated on the status and photos.
Attention please:

2) I'M TALKING ABOUT ANY ROMS "WITHOUT SENSE INTERFACE.
I would simply like to know, (FOR EG) if I have a contact in the phonebook like "John Vodafone", how to connect it to the facebook contact "John Smith" doing it manually, to be able to update his status, his photo etc etc ...
Thank you all for your help
