Hello Guys
Just upgraded from stock rom, to gingerbread ... now i have some problems with the Facebook sync... the link that sense made to the contact, doesn't work now... how do i make a link from a contact to a Facebook contact? So they'll synchronize?

Go to Settings>Accounts & sync and you'll see FB sync tick over there and it's done.
I have the same problem, but when you tap FB, the screen goes back to the add account screen.
Any Ideas??

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."
Hey guys I rely on Facebook for a lot of my contacts and it will randomly switch to don't sync and that means I have to go back put on sync and relink my contacts it's really irritating. Do you know how I can save the Facebook contacts without Facebook sync? Thanks guys!

If you're just looking to sync them to have their contact information in your phone then I do have a solution for that. Its a process, but once its done, its done (but is reversible).
You'll need a Yahoo email account to do this. Log into your Yahoo email account, go to your contacts page, and choose to Import. Select Facebook. This will import your facebook contacts to your Yahoo account. Ok, now from the contacts page in Yahoo, you want to select export. Create a yahoo CSV file and save it to your computer. Now log onto your Google account and go to the Dashboard and then to Contacts. Now import the CSV file you made for Yahoo and you'll have all your facebook contacts now in your gmail account which will then sync to your phone. Of course you'll have to add any new facebook contact you aquire after the process manually (of just repeat the process).
Its not the most automated solution, but it is a solution. Of course you wont be able to see updates and what not with this solution, but it will get your facebook contacts information into your phone.
^^^ this is some very useful info here. Didn't know how to do this until this step by step instructions. Thanks so much.

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.

what ? plz explain in details.
There's no sync app.
It's in the settings - accounts and sync(i'm not sure, my phone is on russian)
There if you dont have any accounts tap on new account there you can register a new google account,or use existing.
Then just activate sync and here you go.
You can check it via http://www.google.com/contacts.
thanx actually I'd forgotten it, hehehe, +1

Do you have all of your contacts linked with your gmail account ? If so I'd try removing all the contacts you have in your phone now and then re-import them by synchronizing your google contacts into your phone.

try it... bcause sync present issues
How are they mis-linked? is it google contact details or is it facebook/twitter contacts mixed up with google ones?
If it's the latter, you could go to accounts settings, remove the various facebook/twitter sync accounts. Sync, then add those accounts back again and wait for the suggested links to be presented and see how it goes.
