I found out that when you flash the sbf and download facebook from the market then sign in it will then sync your contacts to the phone, now that all your friends are sync you can now install gingerblur. Once gingerblur is installed it will not sync new friends or new profile pictures of your friends. Its a little trick but hopefully kenneth fixes this issue. Hope this helps!
Btw you can link the contacts even after you install gingerblur.

I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3

Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.
I just updated to JVB using ODIN. Then i rooted with latest cf root for JVB.
After that i tried to add Facebook account to my phone (Built in facebook account).
but it keeps on giving an error saying Login Failed. Samething happens when i try to add twitter account.
But with Facebook app for android i can login successfully...
anyone facing this issue????
Yes!
I have the SAME problem... Really bugging me...
Same with twitter as well
Sooo annoying... The facebook integration is one of the key features of the Galaxy S...
I'm still on XXJVK and have the same problem, think it may be a server problem rather than ROM
It's well documented on the net that Google removed facebook syncing with contacts with the 2.3.3 update on the nexus s. Might be related.
That would definitely suck.

Are u using the built in SNS accounts to add fb and twitter or are you using the fb and twitter apps downloaded from market?
because the problem is only with SNS account. FB Android app works flawlessly.

I think that because the service wont let you connect to the fb/twitter service... cos of that it cant get the new data. Whatever you restored from the backup will show up. Thats just what i think....

have a good week
i also flashed JVB and did a factory reset...
now installed facebook from marked and would set up my account.
It displays an empty EULA field with accept/decline button.
But on this moment the app hangs and crashes. I removed the app and installed the app again, but the same behavior.
EDIT: Ok, after a reboot of my fone the app works and I have no login problem!
Well I'm having the same problem as you guys, though I'm using a I9003 and just did a factory reset!
Seems to be like Samsung's server or facebook/twitter has some problem, especially with so many people logging in after updating...
I revert to JVK and got the same problem
i Guess Samsung has a problem with SNS server
especially that Facebook tell me tht you some one loged in from a samsung mobile device
Hi guys, first time poster, long time admirer (used to be stuck in the blackberry age). Anyway, I just rooted and installed gingerblur on my AT&T atrix 4g and I love it. However, I currently have a problem with it.
So the moto blur accounts are still present (intended i think?), and the facebook motoblur account I have active syncs the pictures to my contacts just fine, but when I open up the test messaging app, the picture for the contacts are blank? I tried deactivating the motoblur fb account, and just installing the fb app from the market to see if I could do it through that. But it seems like there is a whole list of options cut out of it, and there is no option to sync photos. It seems like the google contacts is not syncing with the motoblur fb account for some reason?
Has anyone run into/fixed this problem? Thanks for all the good work and help.
P.S.- I would have posted this in the Gingerblur post but I can't since I'm such a newb.
Bumpdy Bump Please!
If a mod could move this to the gingerblur thread in development id be appreciative.

I never figured this out either. So I actually reactivated the old messaging that came with blur (it's in the GingerBlur thread somewhere), and that got it back. Kinda liked the speech bubbles anyway.
Ok so I guess I found a solution for all that are having this problem. I downloaded an app call syncmypix. Its free and pushes your Facebook freinds pictures to your Google account contacts, which in turn displays them on ur messaging app. Idk but something about the contacts is screwed up in this rom.

its the messaging.apk file on this rom you can pull the one from greyblur or just use an app to manage your SMS such as hancentSMS or i heard chompSMS also works
AFAIK google disallows facebook to intergrate with messaging and co. with gingerbread. As the gingerblur messaging apk is from gingerbread (as far as i know) it cant do its wizardry. Could be wrong though

Ohhh that makes so much sense now. I was so confused as to why the contacts would sync with the pictures and the messaging wouldn't. I'm glad I found that app then.
However I think on stock android gb devices, the fb app can sync the pictures, but since motoblur includes this in their accounts it screws everything up.

Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?
Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?
Thank you ppl!
I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.
The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).
The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.
You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...
I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..
Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..
No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.
Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much
Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.
