Hi I have some contacts that are entered in separate but I would like to have all contacts as one entry (per name) and use Facebook picture (like on HTC)..
To link contacts to facebook you will have to use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&hl=nl
I remember having a "join contact" option on froyo 2.2 on my last phone.. can't find it here but it enabled me to make 1 contact out of multiple from different types..

The join function is still there. You just can't sync Facebook contacts.

+1 been using that app for a while now. It'll be easier if your contacts' name and their facebook name is the same. Otherwise, you have to manually link them.

Official facebook app on AOSP has option to sync all facebook contacts, or only sync existing contacts.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tryed some apps (and this one too) but my frends name's aren't the same in my contacts....Just i want to choose (not the app) wich contact with what pictures to be;-)
I'm pretty sure that SyncMyPix has the option to manually link Facebook contacts with Google contacts. Long press on an unlinked Facebook contact.

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:
1) I KNOW THAT THE APPLICATION "Facebook to Android" ASK ME TO SYNC ALL CONTACTS OR ONLY THOSE I HAVE IN PHONEBOOK. THIS DON'T INTEREST ME BEACAUSE THE APP SYNC ONLY FEW CONTACTS AUTOMATICALLY.
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
PS. Sorry for my poor english...

Just got my new replacement DX, having trouble. I got and add my facebook account to try and sync. When I go to Contacts>Menu>More>Manage Accounts> and click my facebook account, it has the login and says "remove account" then at the bottom it says OK and Cancel. OK brings me back. When I click on the google, it lets me sync.
How do i sync all of my facebook contacts if its not letting me?
Open your facebook app and go menu-settings and at the bottom should be sync contacts.

Thanks! I was having the same problem.
When I open the FB app then scroll down in the settings the last option I see is "Other Settings" but I cannot scroll down to it. It is like that is the end of the menu. I see no setting to do this All my contats still show their original picture when I first setup my phone and new friends do not get added.

Crobs,
I had a similiar issue and my fix was to remove the account, reboot phone and re-add the account and it synched up fine after that. I hope this helps.
None have worked thus far...

I use Accounts>Social networking>add social network not contacts....
They do get added to my contacts, but that's not where I set them up at. I have had synch break a couple of times and had to re-set them up.
I'm running 340.
Randomly all synced... not *****ing lol
Fix for FB Contacts not Syncing
I have seen this in multiple forum sites. So I am attaching a fix that you flash through CW so that you can sync your contacts again. I hope this helps someone!
Will this work on ICS roms?

I'm having the same problem. My contacts don't sync fb pictures. Really making the contacts box boring. Running b00sted ICS build 2, which I must say is the nicest ROM i've ever flashed, even though it isn't perfect.
FYI - As of ICS leak 6.7.232, FB contacts/photo sync is working again! Upgrade to ICS and kiss this problem (along with tons of others) goodbye!

Hey guys,
Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.

what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb

go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...
Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.
Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.
Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.
MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

Plain thanks for the info. Didnt realized after edit there was another sub menu to select join.
