ok i am trying to figure out such a way to correct the face book birthdays i cant post in development yet sorry, here is what i have come up with so far they are a day early, if you download go contacts ex or go dialer ex it shows the correct birthday it also shows correct in calander app, in the rom vaelpak it shows the correct birthdays in the people app or htcconacts. This is what i have come up with,
Now im trying to figure out how to intergrate the version of people from vaelpak or the stock rom witch also shows the correct birthdays in certain versions, any help or suggestions ihave already tried an adb push of the file and it was available but Forceclosed

Sup y'all,
So I really enjoy having all my facebook contacts' profile pictures/birthdays sync with the contacts on my phone, but the problem I am having is that I have to go into each of my phone contacts and tell it which of my facebook friends to sync with. That kind of sucks, especially since I keep flashing my phone in order to try out new roms. Is it possible to have facebook automatically match up my phone contacts and facebook friends so I don't have to do it all manually? And if not, is it possible to somehow backup all the linked profiles so I don't have to redo it every time I flash a new rom? Lemme know thanks.
Every time I update my ROM.. during the first Facebook login, I'm given the option to sync ALL contacts that it matches with my Facebook Contacts..
(has to be pretty close on the name for it to match).
Try going to the ME contact entry, then sliding over to the Events tab (2nd from right, i believe), then make sure it's logged into facebook.
At the top, you might have a "Link Contacts" or something (going off of memory here). from that screen, it will show you the list of contacts that it has matched.
If you have names in your address book such as "Mom" .. that's not going to automatically match with Jane Doe on Facebook. Gonna have to update your local Contact name to Jane Doe, or the auto-match won't work.
Mine automatically matches about 20-30 of my contacts every time I re-ROM and login to facebook.
ah sick man thanks
I have a question regarding this every time i flash a new rom i do not get this option, i have to manually go in and link everyone to facebook. When i click my contact card I don't even get the option to look at history or status updates on the sliders... I'm logged in on both the sense tab and the facebook in the internet file in the start menu but have never been prompted to sync contacts. I am using Energy rom dec. 13th 29005. Just wondering if anyone else is having this problem was bored figured i'd ask as it gets tiring manually liking all contacts. any response is appreciated.

Match the contact name with the facebook name and it will automatically match it when you sign into facebook. That easy!!
Possible to backup with Titanium?
Here is an idea.. You have to match them all up one or another once.. then SYNC your phone with your computer using Active Sync/Windows Mobile Device Center... It then SAVES all your facebook contacts in with your other contacts so when you hard reset or update your rom, when you sync it up, your contacts are all back (including their facebook contact info)... I hope that helps
*** edit - title is supposed to say No Full Gmail Contacts Sync **
Ok it's taken me a while to notice this as i've had the phone plenty long enough now, but it was only yesterday I needed to add a contact and found that if I select the option to add to Google Contacts it doesn't actually save them. I've tried multiple times and NOTHING. The phone is able to sync DOWN fine but seemingly cannot sync up. Sadly it seems Samsungs incompetent software tweekers have struck again.
Can anyone else verify if this is the case with all Galaxy S firmware at the moment?
So frustrating; really starting to wish Samsung would just have made this phone a STOCK phone like HTC.did with things like the Magic.
Not the case for me. I have flashed and reflashed a hundred times and when I add a contact, it stays and comes back after a flash through google sync.

What particular firmware are you running? It tells me the contact has saved but then when I look through my phonebook the contact isn't there. Try adding one now to your Google account and report back.if you don't mind.
Darkstriker, can you log into your google account to see if all your contacts are listed there? Is it possible that contacts are synced, but they don't necessarily need to show up under the google account?
They aren't showing up on my phone book or online in my Google contacts, even though it says they're saved.
It could be that im running a custom rom, cant remember the name of it but its the main one that isn't SAMSET!
The main one that isn't samset... gotta love that statement.
Anyways: I may be a problem with your customROM. I am using JM2. I just added one and it shows up in contacts on phone and I'm guessing it will take some time to show up in gmail.

Im sorry I'm VERY hung over!
i lost my nexus one after a long night in vegas so asurion sent me a vibrant instead. i just got it yesterday and i already rooted it and threw on build eugene373-hybrid rom.
but i cant seem to have my facebook sync with my contacts, so peoples pictures dont pop up in my contact list, nor do their emails. i go into settings and see "accounts and sync" and when i try to add facebook it just doesnt let me.
anyone know whats going on?
its using a completely different contacts and dialer. He stripped out alot of stuff to make it more efficient. If you need facebook, install the other rom (not the hybrid)
complete fix , has nothing to do with people app just follow these steps for a fix. Go to date n time and change to manual change time zone +whatever u are example I was minus 4 I went to Moscow +4 then edit your date and time and unsync friend caster and hit thanks
ok so i am tired of all these people saying that Facebook for htc sense is broken when it is not it is in fact the people app, the calendar evens are correct because the info is syncing correctly. the Birthdays are a day early because the contacts ( People ) app is broken the only working version is the one found in vael pak or some stock roms, now you want me to prove my self where just download go contacts ex and you will see the correct birthday. now here is a fix for all you people who want everything to sync correctly, all you have to do is download;
Read all steps first and understand what you are doing
download Facebook for android.
download go contacts ex
open go contacts and back up all contacts, then delete them all.
The above were only mentioned to save your old contacts and not double contact.
download friend sync
now download friend caster
now open face book and sync all or just contacts with numbers witch ever you would prefer
now open friend caster and sync all with existing contacts
open friend sync though accounts and sync and do the same( if you keep friend sync make sure you only sync once a day as its a very heavy sync)
now go into the stock contacts and make sure you have do duplicates if you do link them
back up all contacts with go contacts ex again make note of witch backup is witch, they are time stamped so figure it it out.
un-sync all the accounts we just synced and setup and you may keep and use them or not up to you, but you still have to un sync them now you may resync after all steps are completed if you like
Delete all contacts , make sure they are all deleted, and restore them and make sure you restore to your Google account with go contacts ex and the correct birthday will be there with some additional information and of course when your tango contacts will not sync to your fb contacts too, it just sucks because im on cyanogen mod so i cant test this but i know when you re-sync with htc sense face book its going to replace the corrected birthday wtf jackhole hope this helps and hope a dev or htc can take this info and fix there broken ass contacts remember its the contacts that's broken not htc senese facebook that works great
complete fix , has nothing to do with people app just follow these steps for a fix. Go to date n time and change to manual change time zone +whatever u are example I was minus 4 I went to Moscow +4 then edit your date and time and unsync friend caster and hit thanks
HTC EVO underclocked to 803

I just don't like the HTC Sense version of Facebook. FB sucks enough as it it without HTC having their hand in it adding bloatware.
Thanks guys. I got sync working on my KF. And I have done a lot of other things with my KF thanks to you guys.
Sorry to start a new thread but I didn't want to derail a sync thread when I have sync working. LOL
BTW a simple copy of the sync file to system/app, setting of permissions, and rebooting worked great for getting it to sync for me.
I have a problem with my calendar display.
The problem is that in week view or monthly view, the top of the calendar is cut off and doesn't show the holidays and birthdays like on my Droid X.
There is a gray bar up top. The gray bar also cuts off part of the first week in month view and 12:00AM in week view as well as the day of the week. The holidays and birthday calendars are enabled and are syncing.
Birthdays and holidays show up when I go to Agenda view so the data are there and sync'd.
It seems to be a display problem but I cannot see where to adjust the way it displays.
I am rooted and on 6.2.2
Screen caps from both KF and DroidX are attached of the same week view.
Any suggestions?
I have the same problem with the cut off top side. Of course, I have yet to be able to get it to sync either, so I haven't tried yet to fix it.
Just for curiosity, can you post which site you downloaded your calendar apk files from? I just want to cover all bases.

It was a link in one of the threads here on syncing. Can't remember. Sorry.
Also I forgot to post above versions of calendar.
On Droid it is 2.3.3 and on KF it is 2.3.7
I am sure that may have something to do with it. I am going to backup with titanium and try installing 2.3.3 on kf to see if it fixes it.
Man I love it now that I have Swype on my kf!
Well that didn't work. I guess titanium doesn't like restoring stuff backed up from other devices.
I guess I need to find the apk for 2.3.3
And Astro didn't show it in the list of apps to backup on my DroidX. I guess because it is a system app.
No luck finding an older version of calendar. Can't find anything on correcting the problem either.
Installed cm7 and calendar is working fine. Version 2.3.7
