So for some reason, my contacts will sync with their facebook counterparts, and display their facebook profile picture in the contacts app, but when I dial their number, or receive a text from them, it displays no picture. Any solution?
I think it has something to do with the 'phone' contact overriding the 'facebook' contact. Either way, the way I got around it was by deleting all the phone contacts I had and just going with google and facebook. This, of course, takes away the ability to set individual ringtones (as far as I can tell). But it should solve the issue.

You can try downloading SyncMyPix from market also, it will download all your facebook contacts pics and import them into your phone and google acct contact pictures, but you have to run it every couple of days/weeks if someone changes their FB profile pic and you want the updated one to show up.

Not entirely sure what you are asking, but if you goto your nexus one contacts > Menu button > accounts > add account, you can add facebook in. then afterwards, just make sure there is a checkmark in your facebook account sync settings. This will sync facebook and your nexus one contacts profile pic and all. If your nexus can't figure out which google contacts and which facebook contacts are the same person, you can manually join them under the settings for each contact and the profile pics and info will stay synced forever more.
However, your nexus won't sync this unified contact info or the profile pictures back to Google contacts website. Just for your phones contacts app.

This is what I'm trying to do... where in the settings? There's either "Options", which just changes ringtone and such, or there's the option to Edit the contact. Don't see where to link Gmail contacts with Facebook.
go to the facebook app and add your account and then it will givey ou options to sync or not
I know I'm having this issue... I'm not sure if it beacse there is already a contact icon (this is what android call is) in place and facebook can't over-write a new photo or not. I know you can go an edit the contact and there is a facebook section where you can choose to use the icon/picture there.

It will automatically merge the facebook contacts with matching google contacts. be sure to force a manual sync in case it didn't automatically do it after adding the facebook account.
for the facebook contacts it couldn't figure out which google contact to merge with, goto the contact, click on edit contact, and towards the bottom you should have a join contacts option to pick a contact to merge the info with for future syncs.
Also, if you have already assigned a contact picture, I think that will override the facebook synced one. SO remove any contact pictures you assigned locally.

Thanks, that's the info I needed! I didn't know I had to click menu a second time after I was already in the edit contacts screen.
Edit: I was initially bummed when it started changing the displayed names of my contacts to match the Facebook profiles... but then I realized that it keeps your old name in the contact on the phone as well. So when I start typing Dad, it brings up my dad's name. Nice.

Yeah, It doesn't actually change anything on facebook or google contacts, it just changes the view on your phone and syncs that view with any changes that come from facebook or google contacts. but both address books are still kept separate on their respective servers. Although it would be kind of cool if there was a an option to sync that data and profile pics back to the google contacts server since I use google voice a lot. But that would be a very difficult thing to do and a bug could be catastrophic.

Yeah... I assumed that sync was... adding the information (pic, email, phone number...) to your contact, then that information would be uploaded to google contacts. I guess all the facebook sync does is just creates a "Facebook" section in your main contact card and that information never gets really added to the main portion of that contact card... the fb information is just there for your phone...
I have the facebook application syncing with my contact data.
When I pull up my contacts and look under the linked accounts, each user has 5 linked accounts.
How is this possible? Is this a glitch?
The only other contact sync I have is Google.
same here.. when I look, there are five icons "linked" one google, one facebook, and THREE little green icons (WTF are those?)

Yes, that is exactly what I have too. Very annoying.
I have noticed this issue as well. In my accounts and sync settings I somehow have two facebook accounts, which I think was caused by the last upgrade to the facebook app.
Unsyncing and/or deleting one of the facebook accounts solved the problem.
I am also showing lots of account sync icons in my contacts. Thought maybe I just did something wrong. If deleting them and then syncing them worked for you I'm going to try it and see what I come up with.

Happens on mine too. If you set up your Facebook account from the Accounts and Sync settings, then you won't have any problems with multiple linked accounts. When you use the Facebook Android app and widget and login, it'll ask you if you want to sync your contacts and calendars. That's where I saw that all the duplicate linked accounts appear.
The big problem I've seen is that either way, if you go to your contacts and try to access their Facebook page it will only open your profile and not go to their page.
Kind of sucks.

I get that too! Now because I have multiple links to each contact, I have 5 links to facebook profiles under each contact. Each time I click on any of them, it simply takes me to my own page. Great...
I Just double checks a few of mine and it shows 3 right now but I think that's because I have it showing on specific accounts. I have a Google, Facebook, and unknown account listed per person. The unknown one is the one I don't get. I can also see their recent updates, pics, and profile pics again. Idk wtf happened lol.

Yep, I meant to edit my post with how I got rid of them but because I'm a n00b here I get limited to one post every 5 minutes including editing :\
The way I found to get rid of the duplicate contacts is having to go into the Accounts and Sync settings and delete the Facebook Android account. If you're using the Facebook widget that will also log you out of it. You can then log back in using the widget or app and make sure to uncheck the contacts sync so that way it doesn't sync at all (especially since your phone already is doing so if you added your account using the Accounts and Sync setting). Reason I wanted to get rid of them is when you access your contacts through something like adding a new contact from an unknown text message, it pulls up all the synced contacts that are connected with your phone (duplicate entries stored on your phone/sim/facebook account(s)/twitter/etc)
Do you have some way to sync facebook contacts with milestone 2 + CM10?
i try update app from market, check the option to sync contacts, but nothing happen, search in foruns and got just the answer use motoblur, but CM10 dont have MOTOBLUR.
what is the best way to do that?
Try the app 'facebook contact sync' from the play store. works very good on my phone. The only problem is, if people have different contact names on your phone (not facebook username) you need the facebook-id. Haven't figured out yet how that works.

just don't open the "Contacts" app, open "Phone" and switch to contacts. There will appear only your contacts with number.
Contact Picture Sync (from sbla games) is an interesting app, instead of automatic an regular syncs, the app creates a one time list where it try to find correspondent matches, then you review the list selecting FB and the correspondent local contact, then download the full sized pictures to local contacts. The app can save the list for the next sync.

This is wath i use :

Open the last one and it will ask you your facebook email and your password do it and you will be ok :good:
Hey folks, I was looking for a way to sync facebook pictures to my existing google contacts; the way HTC and Samsung phones did.
I tried Contact sync for facebook; but instead of syncing pics to your google contacts; this app just downloads another set of contacts with no phone numbers.... I would have an entry with no photo from google contacts; and 1 entry with a picture from facebook.
This is not what i'm looking for.
How does haxsync work? does it actually retrieve facebook pics and add them onto your existing contacts??
Just wanted to find out before I purchase.
THanks!
Haxsync also download another set of contacts (to your phone's contact book) however with address, pictures, birthday, phone numbers, etc. Most of the contacts will be automatically merged properly, however you will have to do some manual editing (you know, since some people are on your contact as "sister" while on FB she may be "Jane Doe", Haxsync can't know that)
Haxsync has a lot of options to customize, and the new version has the ability to merge the contact photo from FB with Google contacts, which is rather awesome (no longer have to redo Haxsync when flashing new ROMs).
I highly recommend Haxsync.
I second haxsync. It works great and it also syncs your calendars from Facebook to your phone. So once you accept an invite to an event, it'll be in your phone with dates, times, and location.

Hey folks,
I've synced my facebook contacts with existing contacts and the images are blurry as hell, like they are a tiny resolution. This used to happen on ICS but was meant to be fixed with Jellybean, seems to have reared it's ugly head again for me.
Anyone else getting the same? and if so have you resolved it?
Thanks,
Ben.

Would recommend Haxsync, it will sync the hi-res images as well as your contacts statuses which appear under each conact on your phone. It also syncs the fb calendar and allows you to set reminders for birthdays and events.
I disable the contacts and calendar sync for fb and just use haxsync to do it all.

You don't get people's phones though. That's why I use Facebook sync in the first place.

I suppose I could do that. I hope it merges the contacts right this time. Last time i used it, it was throwing contacts all over the place. I had to merge them manually.
