Hello!
Is it possible to manually select the contacts with the appropriate facebook profiles and photos? Because I'm having a lot of trouble to sync it right.
Best regards
It was possible (or maybe it is still is) only on third party apps like Sync.Me, HaxSync etc.

Is your N1 syncing your contact's profile photo with their facebook profile?
Mine don't sync. I have to go to edit contact and do it.
N1 does recognize and pair the contacts with facebook profiles..just doesn't sync pictures.
strange!!! I have no problems with this... sync merges Google contacts & Facebook contacts along with the Facebook profile pics... unless there is a Google contact pic...
I have it syncing on some, but not all.
I have found the ones with problems either
A) Don't have a complete name in my phonebook
B) Have a different number in facebook.
Hmm.. quite wierd.
I am seeing a trend...
I was using HTC Sense 2.5 on WM. And all the contact whose photos were synced with facebook by sense 2.5, do not sync with facebook in android. And for some reason, gmail contacts (web, browser version) shows these pictures in contacts, but android does not.
I just deleted a contact's photo in gmail..and android instantly synced it with facebook.
im having this problem tooo! just noticed it today. i cant figure out why it wont sync tho!!....
You can go for this, worx nice
AddressBooker & exporting my Facebook Phonebook:

I find that Facebook only syncs people with first & last name on your contacts list. It doesn't sync only first names. I wish there was a way around that.
That is annoying, even my old blackberry would sync to partial names, and that thing is primitive in comparison.
Noticed a couple of things:
Address book names and facebook contact names have to be the same.
If you have a photo linked to the contact (i.e you synced from another phone to google and pulled the contacts back down) then you often have to specify that the phone uses the facebook profile pic rather than the pic held directly against the contact.
It's a bit of a faff around, and if you delete the pics from the contacts on your gmail account (as someone mentioned above) it should default to the facebook pic assuming there is one for the contact.
<edit> Also ensure you have facebook setup to sync friends into contacts. Facebook app -> Menu -> Settings -> Sync Contacts </edit>

This helped me. Thanks.
I could not add a facebook account directly in "Accounts", but enabling sync in the FB app automatically added it to "Accounts".
I am a bit puzzled with the People (contacts app) and what I do need to sync.
I only have my regular contacts showing in my Phonebook (have hidden Twitter-FB), but I have linked those that have FB profiles with the profiles in order to have their pics showing.
In the HTC One Settings--> Account & Sync ---> Facebook, there are three options: Calendar, Contacts and Live Feed
I understand what Calendar is and I have it off but not sure about the other two.
What is Contacts about ? In order to have my contacts updating their Photos and their status do I have to turn this on?
And what is the Live Feed sync? I don't think it has to do with Blinkfeed. So then what?
Is this the "Updates" panel that exists for each of my contacts?
Any help would be appreciated.
No one?
Is it so obvious and I'm missing it?
Contacts - syncs Facebook contacts to your phone contacts (photos, email addresses, etc.)
Live feed - Add the Facebook feed to the HTC Sense Facebook widget, probably BlinkFeed, etc.

I don't think that it does to Blinkfeed as I have it off and I still get FB updates in Blinkfeed.
I also have it off for Contacts, but I've seen that when I open the People app if I wait for a small amount of time statuses are updates.
That's why I was confused.
hi guys one question, for my notes I use Tasks Free, which correctly syncs with my gtasks so I always have them all available phone/PC
in stock based roms I see notes app and I like it, but I can't sync the notes between devices. I see in sync settings there is also the possibility to use dropbox, but when I click it it says something about being using multiple dropbox accounts or so.. (I have already set up my DB account in general account settings).
anyone of you could sync the notes with his dropbox account? am I the only one with this problem?
thanks a lot!
Hi!
Just got my hands on a Xperia Z1 and I am very impressed with it!
I've always had android phones and I'm used to the OS etc, however I'm having problems with my contacts not being synced to their Facebook accounts, specifically the pictures.
Previously the pictures automatically synced with each contact, so I get a nice picture on my contact list and messages, however this isnt the case now! I've synced with FB and had no success at all, so i'm wondering if there is a simple fix for this that I'm not doing?
Apologies if this is a subject that is getting repeated!
Thanks in advance! :good:
What FB-sync did you use? Facebook's own app or Sony's Xperia with Facebook account functionality?
The latter allows you for syncing the photos of your contacts, while Facebook's own application doesn't. Just go to the accounts and add a "Xperia with Facebook"-account.
Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?
