Once your phone syncs with facebook, it will never update your phone side contacts with any new facebook Contacts
Does anyone know how to fix this?
The only way I know of is to delete the sync and start over again. but it takes so long to join all the contacts.
Im talking about the integrated facebook, bc i like how you can see their status on dial.

Is there a way to import the facebook contacts stored on my HTC Desire HD handset to google by utilising the auto-sync feature?
I have synced my phone with facebook and now want to transfer the email addresses,photos and birthdays of my facebook friends to google contacts.
I understand from reading posts on other forums that there are a few ways to do this, such as manually importing and exporting csv filesor by way of a script , but this will require a manual update whenever I have a new facebook contact.
Seeing that my phone could auto-sync with both FB and Google, is there a way to automatically transfer new FB contacts to google whenever I hit the "Sync" button on my phone?
cheers

Mine all synced up yesterday before I got into my car after leaving the T-Mobile store! Stupid question but are you sure the sync settings on your phone are all set up? I had them not work in the past on my HD2 but then later they would...
it wont sync contacts or messages itll sync the calender..everything else is syncing properly even the actual facebook app just not the social hub app.
Same here! No go for FB for Social Hub Contacts or Messages, Cal is OK though..
Regular FB syncs Contacts fine though.... what gives?
I finally got my pics to all sync up but there is allot of my fb friends that dont even show up in my contact list. Would appreciate any help.
i've got Facebook syncing my contact list just fine, as well as messages
and got 2 separate FB apps running
Hey guys,
Is anyone else experiencing Facebook status updates not automatically updating within the People app?
I'm displaying my Google Contacts but have linked the contacts with their FB profile within the app. It shows a status update they've made but doesnt update anymore to their latest status.
This seems to have only cropped up since I did a factory reset on the HOX.
I've gone through Accounts & Sync & manually sync'd but no change.
Trivial issue I know, but just wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same?

Yes. I have the same setup as you it seems. Just done a hard reset due to other reasons and tried from the stock FB app and then via the latest FB app with no luck - some feeds/updates are not updating,
I'm experiencing a lot of frustration with FB and syncing. The sync works ok after some manual linking and I receive updated photo's for most of my contacts however, what I don't like is, if you have any of the two sync options selected when you create the FB sync account ('sync all' or sync with existing contacts') then ALL your facebook contacts appear in your phone list/dialler and messages drop down, regardless if you have FB shown as an active/viewable account under 'People' or not. The only way to get rid of this it seems is to delete the FB app or use a Android dialler (which has the ability to filter which accounts/contacts you can see) instead of the HTC dialler.
To me this isetup is frustrating and I cannot seem to find a simple workaround. Someone did mention on another forum to uninstall the FB app, clear the app data/cache then reinstall the app selecting 'don't sync' and then use a third party app to get the photos, such as SyncMyPix however this obviously won't sync the updates/feeds that some people like.
For the time being I am not going to be syncing FB contacts until I find a workaround.
You can buy HaxSync off the play store if you want to sync your Facebook account with your contacts

Appreciate you can get alternative 3rd party apps however this shouldn't be required. The Facebook/Google integration needs to be a lot sleeker so there isn't a need to download and use additional apps...
It used to be a lot sleeker but I think google & facebook had an argument over data rights and google just stopped syncing data with facebook.
Hello,
I'm not sure if this a HTC One X specific problem, but I didn't have it on my old Samsung Galaxy. If I open the preinstalled (I guess official) Facebook app on the HTC One X, it asks me what I want to sync. I don't want to sync anything, so I choose that option an press "done". However, the stupid things still keeps syncing all my Facebook friends to my phone contacts (it adds a Facebook phone book). I don't want this. If I delete the Facebook account under "Accounts & Sync" the synced data is removed, however, if I open the Facebook app after that, it will ask me again what I want to sync and the whole things starts over. Is there any way to avoid this?
Many thanks.
It'll add the friends but it won't sync them to your existing phone contacts. Just untick the Facebook contacts in 'People' and they won't show up
But there is now way of not even allowing it to import the Facebook phone book?
Well, yeah - telling it not to sync should do that...if it doesn't then I'd say no
I had the same problem and fixed it with removing that annoying app forever ...
