New Facebook app and contact syncing - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Just thought I'd share this since I know of a few people having an issue with contact syncing with the new Facebook app. The way I solved it was by changing the sync option to remove Facebook data, exiting, and changing sync option to sync all.
hope this helps a few people.

Fixing permissions help

Hi, I used the fix permissions feature from ROM manager, and now for some reason all of my contact pictures no longer appear in my messages app, how can I fix this?
Thanks!

Are you referring to the facebook pictures that associate themselves with your contacts or personally applied ones? If it's the facebook ones, I believe I've read here somewhere that you have to remove the facebook account from the phone, re-add it and then do a sync again.
That happened to me... You have to go into contacts and reset every picture... Very annoying

facebook on SGS2

i just received m Tmo SGS2 and i have 2 facebook accounts. Is it possible to run 2 facebook accounts on this phone at the same time?
possible yes
using the same app, not quite
you can use different facebook apps, to login with your different facebook accounts
i've yet to see a facebook app that lets you use multiple accounts
how can i download the same facebook app twice from the market? one facebook acct is with my gmail and the other facebook is with my hotmail.
Well yoI won't be able to use the same app or download two of the same, but try and find an app that supports multiple accounts.

you can have two if you use the market Facebook app and then under the phones account and sync setting, add another Facebook account using Samsung social hub. Hopefully this is what you were looking for.

If you dont like spam might want to remove that photo. Otherwise the trolls will attack your accounts.

Check this, Twitter Contact Sync is currently unavailable
About how to remove the social hub, I removed the app, thus... I don't know, sorry

Reidzeibel
thanks! I thought it was our phone's issue. First time i tried to sync Twitter contacts and it fails.
Will try to check other forums on the Social Hub issue. I suppose it comes standard on other Samsung phones right?

As far as I know, Social Hub is a samsung apps, thus it *should* be available on the other samsung phones

Contact picture sync

So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

I just tried that app last night and it worked good. All my contact pics are synced and I don't have to have a big program on my phone.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

Contacts question

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.
Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?

I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.
