Guys! I had a problem. I had added a fb account in ' Account and Sync Settings ' then sync interval to none. Then, when I lookup into contacts to see if it's working, it showed none. I mean when I try to join contacts, there's no one from fb. Can anyone help? This was working before, I didn't know how this happened. It's not a rom bug also. Please help me?

ciao!
I have just bought my htc legend here in italy.
I have tried to connect one of my contacts with its page in facebook, but facebook shows no friend.
I have 4000 friends in my account, when I start the application and I hit the friends tab, after trying to connect, I get the message: error500/server internal error and no friend shown.
any suggestion?
thank you!

ciao!
yes, I did, of course!
Nothing happens anyway! No contact sync!
what a pity!!!
well you are not the only one,same problem with my Legend,I just gave up.

quite weird, it should be one of the most important features of the sense UI, you should be able to exploit the social networks interface and it doesn't work!!!
very annoying!!!
it works. here's what i suggest: remove account -> add account again -> sync feeds and contacts -> wait coz it takes too effin long. i only have 1800 friends and it took me all night for it to finish sync-ing.
some of the contacts will be linked to your facebook contact automatically but not all. some are not obvious and needs to be linked manually.
example: John Smith with John Smith is automatically linked but John Wayne Willis Smith will not be automatically linked with John Smith.
hope it helped.
oh yeah, after you sync, try checking people -> menu button -> view. and you will see your facebook contacts increasing (hopefully)
sounds like 4000 are too many for htc!
it doesn't work even after resetting everything!
what an annoying thing!!!
thank you for suggestions, though!
I have about 470 contacts and it wont update my fb friendlist..
when i try to sync i get returned after a while to the "online directories" screen and get the message "connection error", and it doesn't matter if i do this with wífi on or off.
Have tried to remove account, add it again and then sync with no luck

same **** here! cant get fb contacts!
Hey guys
I tried searching the forums, but found nothing on this. I'm looking to refresh all the facebook photos that are used in the sense contacts. I have done the link/unlink and sign out of facebook for sense in the past, but these get annoying because I then have to relink all the accounts. Now that I have root, is it possible to clear a cache of these photos somewhere so that they refresh? I'm really trying to avoid having to re-link so many accounts again.
Thanks
.
I was wondering the same thing, myself
Yeah, that **** doesn't update at all.
They are also pixelated as ****.
Well this kept bugging me too, but I just keep doing the sign out of facebook and resign in trick...
I don't know why this would unlink all your contacts to their facebook accounts, as whenever I sign out and sign back in, nothing changes except the contact pictures...
I also am not deleting the account then creating a new one if that helps...
If you have the contacts backed up to Google remove the face book account then clear contact storage under manage applications then re-sync Google then re add Facebook. Hope that helps.

It has something to do with Friend Stream and the way things are linked with it.
I know I have done it before and when I choose refresh it does go out and update their Contact photo's to their latest Facebook photo.
I just sat here playing with it and I can get them to update as long as they are linked. However if you have a photo saved into an Outlook contact, it will not update, it will force to what Outlook has set. (I know this is true for Exchange, but not sure if it is same for a Desktop Sync)
Hope this helps !
From Android Central.... (I cant post links)
If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to
People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh.

I second this... What is really weird is my wife doesn't have this problem, all of her contacts sync perfectly, it definitely frustrates me lol.
Refreshing them through the facebook directory only refreshed them in that screen, not in my normal contact list. The app was a great suggestion though, thanks!

What I found is that once you scroll over a contact it will add them to the 'to update' list. So if you scroll through your contacts when refreshing then it will update them all ----very slowly though.
the fist time i synced my facebook when taking my vibrant out of the box it worked fine, but i did a factory reset on my phone and now when i sync my facebook it only imports 192 people, (the same people everytime) i have around 600 contacts on fb and i dont know why it is doing this. i have tried everything in the world to get them to sync, i have removed samsung from facebook, did a hard reset and still the same 192 contacts. i have clicked the select contacts i wont to sync and it still gives me only the 192. someone please help before i throw my phone in the furnace at work. thanks alot in advance
Which facebook are u using ? Built-in or app from market ?
I noticed that they don't work together. I have enabled sync in built-in and disabled in app. Also there was a recent update to new version of facebook 1.3.1, maybe that fixed something......

Same here. It's really pissing me off!
dang it.. i just did a factory reset as well and its not able to pull all my fb contacts. I'm using the app and the newest out that was just released. will report back if I figure it out
Mine doesn't sync neither. But you can manually set your contacts to your facebook contacts. click on contact> Media> Link contact> Get friends then you can scroll to whoever you want to sync
Mine is fine, I did a factory reset also. Did you guys go to "Accounts and sync" and added your facebook account there?
The fix for this I'd that you have to delete the samsung application from the main facebook (under setting I believe) and twitter using your computer.
Just wait I few minutes and sync from your phone...that worked for me.

that didnt work for me... is it safe to assume that its facebook with the issues, not our phones?

no. It's probably Samsung's hacked-together TouchWiz that's causing the fail.
Could it be that you have your contacts app set to show only contacts with phone numbers? Try disabling that option and see if you have all of your FB contacts.
figured it out!
This was frustrating me too! But i figured it out:
Ok from contacts you press menu, then press the "get friends" button. Add your facebook account, or if it's already there select it. Now you can choose which individual facebook contacts you would like to add, or you can choose "select all"!

If you go back to accounts and add your facebook account(via the add button at the bottom), it should sync the contacts as well. However, if you have manually added contacts, or are using google for contacts, you will have to link them with your facebook contacts.
I must be trying to link them wrong then cause im only linking contacts with other contacts. Can you give me detailed instruction on how to do this process
Sign out of the facebook app. (Assuming you downloaded it.) When you sign back in, and you see the tips page, do not click anything on the screen but click the back button on the phone and the sync settings show up.

Thanks I got the sync settings to come up. But it still did not sync them. When I first got the phone I recovered my contacts from google and it synced all my fb friends on my contacts which was way more contacts then what I had so I deleted all my contacts and recovered them again and now it wont sync them at all. Im running a unrooted atrix with webtop hdmi mod which launcher pro. Would that affect it. Also I tryed to pull up the social networking app for the phone and it wont even let ne log into facebook thank you

Brilliant, thank you.
sync facebook contacts to atrix
Menu>settings>account
1.add and log in to your facebook account
2.click the menu button on the account screen and click "picturesource"
(This will allow facebook to sync your friends facebook picture to there contact profile in your phonebook)
3.to make sure your contact has the right picture edit the contact by>removing the picture> submit the same name they have on facebook and> hit the menu button and link the contact to the matching facebook profile
4. Yes it is a long manuel process or you can try to use a app called
"Syncmypix" in the market

Motoblur has a facebook syncing option which I use.
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...

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!

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!
