Is there a way to sync Facebook photos to phone contacts? My Windows Phones would automatically link my phone contacts to Facebook contacts and apply the profile pics. I've tried a few apps from the Play Store that are supposed to do that but none have worked. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to do it manually for each contact.
I use Sync.me, it works fine : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp

I am facing a general problem with facebook integration in my new Legend. I've set up a facebook sync. When I link a contact in phone (google contact) with a contact from facebook, I can't afterwards see the albums of the contact or see the updates in people application. The link is working, because I am able to set the contact picture also from facebook, but updates and albums from facebook are not working. I tried also to hard reset the device and set it up again, but it did not help. Aren't you facing the same problem? I've opened a ticket to HTC, but I have to wait until they receive a Legend to their office :-D.
I'm signed in to the Facebook using Friend Connect application and in the detail of the contact in "People" application I can see updates for each connected Google contact <- Facebook contact. Updates are working for the Facebook status as well as for photos.
A cannot check it with Twitter, because I do not have any valid contact there
so, now the problem is solved. I started to have also problems with gmail contacts which refused to sync with gmail. Syncing was so strange, it was duplicating 2 contacts every time in gmail ... grrr horrible.
Then I deleted all contacts in gmail, also all contacts in phone, I cleared the cache for google contacts app. Afterwards I restored contacts from my last .csv backup in gmail and after sync all contact were back in phone. I lost all photos of my contacts, so I had to link most of them with facebook contacts. But it solved the problem. The integration with facebook is working again .. I was very happy yesterday.
Great
Thanks for the info
I have updated my nexus s to 4.03 (on two nexus s) but on one phone my facebook contact want to be linked
When I press "ADD ACCOUNT" can't add any facebook account to link with my contacts on other phone everything is fine.
Everything else is fine.
Google and facebook have some issues with the contact linking process. It can be hacked in but its not in there by default.
could you provide more informations about this hack please ?
it's not that there are 'issues'. google removed fb sync because fb refuses to let you save your fb contacts, so it provides a false sense of security, in the sense that the contacts always sync, but can NEVER be backed up.
if you want to sync fb, use friend caster. There's an app that will also sync profile pics, as well, but I can't remember the name right now.

I had the same frustration when I first came to android. I have found that these three apps work best for me. I like these because you set them up once and everything stays in sync automatically.
For syncing music on PC:
- iSyncr (from Play Store): This lets you sync your itunes library with your phone.
For syncing pics, videos on PC:
- Picasa (runs on PC) The Picasa app syncs pics and videos on your PC with your Picasa account, which syncs automatically with your phone.
For contacts/calendar/tasks in Outlook
- gSyncit (runs on PC): This syncs your Outlook contacts/calendar/tasks to your gmail account, which syncs contacts/calendar/tasks automatically with your phone.
I have found this works so well, that now I use Picasa and gSyncit for syncing photos, video, and Outlook with my ipad (instead of iTunes).
Why don't you just copy and paste whatever you need from PC to your phone?

1. That would not keep things in sync (I think OP was asking about syncing). e.g., if I make a change to my Outlook calendar and a different change to my phone calendar, I want both to reflect both changes.
2. Copying and pasting every time I change something would be more work.
For the calendar you should be able to sync to Google calendar. Then as long as you use the same calendar what you put in on your phone is on your computer the next second.

Contacts sync can be done tru google account also I think it goes same for pictures and calendar. Music and videos I just use external card to copy any new in to it. I also had 3 iPhones and I never make iTunes to work on my PC. I never try but Kies could do a trick too.

This is annoying me a little, wondering if anyone can help.
My Facebook contacts are linked to my google contacts, and when first done the pictures automatically updated my google contact images.
However, now when somebody updates their facebook photo, the new photo is synced to the phone (can see it if you go and try to edit a contact, in the facebook tab) but it doesn't overwrite the google contact photo (The old facebook photo), which is still shown in phonebook/messaging as default.
Any way to stop this happening, and always show the latest facebook photo?

I'm hoping its a file stored somewhere that I can just overwrite?
You should consider this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp&hl=en
You can use it to sync contact photos with your FB contacts or LinkedIn contacts.
Once you sync your photos they are synced with your Gmail cloud and will load even if you get a new phone.
