Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy W since yesterday,before I had a htc Desire with htc sense....
There was a facebook contact picture sync,i want to do this now again,so I downloadet syncmypic from market but when I try to use it, there comes the error,that contacts are read only...
Does someone knows an other app for this (to link or just download facebook profile pictures) or a programm for Windows like this one for mac OS :

Thanks in Advance

the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"

I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.

There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:
1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.
2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub

Sorry if this has been asked before but...
How do you add a Facebook account to sync contacts etc?
I have the Facebook app installed and have added twitter accounts etc through the accounts and sync in settings but Facebook never adds.
Thank you

You can't. Support was removed back in 2.3.x for the Nexus S. Issues with Facebooks use of Google API's & local storage of contact data or something along those lines. Should be plenty if you search - either on XDA or on the wider intewebs.
Thank you

whoa whoa whoa...
let's say I have all important people in my google contacts. I have manually related every one of them to corresponding facebook contacts so that essentially I could see their FB profile photo.
seriously, cannot that be acomplished using GNex??

Don't fret folks. There are other options. I use Contapps. It has a feature to sync HIGH QUALITY facebook pictures. You're going to have to go with the pro version.

and thanks alot for the tip.
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.
Have anybody been able to sync their Twitter contacts to the default phonebook? im on 2.3.6, DXLA2.
And also, how to remove Twitter account from Samsung's Social Hub?

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

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
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.

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?

It is a good suggestion but does not answer the OP's question. Will this program overwrite the contact pictures from Google to Facebook?

Exactly -- I already have Facebook pics tied to my contacts -- the question is how do I force the phone to use them as the primary pics? HTC does this already...
Go to a contact hit menu then set as default then you can select which image is the default. Facebook contact sync does this automatically

HaxSync will do this for all your contacts. If it misses some, you can go in and manually join the contacts. The other nice thing about HaxSync is that it will use hi-res pics instead of the lame low res default.

Just grabbed this and will try -- yay for leftover Play Store credit from my Nexus 7!
Update: Looks like that worked -- and the pics look much better!
