This is from the whatsapp website FAQ
Note: WhatsApp cannot sync with Facebook friends, so you will need to manually enter their phone numbers in your address book in order for WhatsApp to find them.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any workaround for this....

1. Download the official Facebook app.
2. Sync your Facebook contacts with your phone.
3. Only the official Facebook app has the power to sync Facebook contacts + their phone numbers in ICS upwards
4. Check your whatsapp now, you should notice the difference.
Done

Get my simple points:
1. Whatsapp will only show your contacts with phone numbers
2. Only the official Facebook app can sync Facebook contacts with their phone numbers.
3. Use the official Facebook app to sync your contacts
Got it?

1) yes whatsapp shows every other contacts with numbers but fb contacts
2) yes only the official fb app can sync contacts with numbers...
3) I have them synced to my contacts ..the numbers are visible there..
the above process doesnt help in getting the fb contacts to show up in whatsapp as mentioned in the OP
but thanks for trying to help mate...

Ok.
Please tell me which of these interpretations of your question is most correct:
# you want to see all your Facebook contacts with whatsapp account inside your whatsapp app?
# You want to also see your Facebook contacts in "all contacts" part of your whatsapp?
BTW, can you please post your ROM details?

1. You forgot to post your ROM details
2. I don't use Facebook app, so I'll try to install it now (i only have version 1.9.3), I'll then test and see. I'm on a Jellybean ROM, and I'm not sure if the app will sync contacts.
Anyhow, I'll let you know how it goes.

I believe its not possible to sync fb numbers to the phone contacts in (people app) AOSP based roms. It was not possible a while ago not sure about now.

Ok.
Tested it but Facebook won't sync my contacts.
Yeah Facebook still can't sync contacts to the People (Aosp) app. It was possible to sync on some AOKP based ROMs in the ICS days but I've never been able to sync contacts in CM9/CM10 based ROMs.
... well, except i use some other apps, and those apps cannot sync phone numbers.

fb contact no# was the only reason i switched back to Stock based roms, meanwhile i hope some one finds a workaround for the whatsapp issue..

I'll test and report about the whatsapp once i have the chance to dual boot with a stock ROM.
- from my past experience, my whatsapp contacts always triple from about 150 to 500 once i sync my Facebook contacts. I don't know if things have changed now.

Hi,
Bought an S2 couple of weeks ago. Great phone with superb performance.
However I am having a prob with FB integration.
Despite installing the 'Facebook for Android' app and creating an account in Samsung Social Hub, I am unable to sync my existing contacts and FB calender entries onto my device.
The 'sync all' option in 'FB 4 Android' app (and sync on Social Hub) creates a separate contact instead of combining it with existing ones and 'sync existing contacts' doesn't work.
In calender, special events are getting tabulated but birthdays are not getting recorded.
I am currently using the 'Birthdays - Free' app frm the Market to address the calender sync issue. Its a gr8 app, give it a try.
However, plz help me out with the calender sync issue.
I'm not sure because i'm not using samesumg hubs and i dont't have it on my phone. But i think there is an option to join contacts.

Exactly the prob m facing..
My friend had no issues on his xperia neo V for sync using the facebook 4 android app..dunno why bt it isn't workin for my i9100..

If the contacts are synced with FB but don't show their FB picture, try loading them in the FB app at least once.

ok so i got this phone around 20 days back. i set up the fb account (both in Android app for fb and facebook inside Xperia), and have synced the contacts. but i dont see my contacts being "synced" in real sense. i mean, when i see my contacts, they are just normal contacts, without pictures without the status updates and profile link. as if the FiX is not even working.
ok i know there are apps that allow me to sync pictures from fb and merge them with my contacts, but shouldnt the default well known Facebook inside Xperia work on its own?
am i doing something wrong here?

I guess you missed something in order to setting the Facebook for Xperia to run properly. but, if you didn't miss anything, perhaps you can repair it by PCC or SEUS or flash it again using flashtool.

And you will see both Facebook and phone contacts. Then you can put together these contacts, which are the same. The system doesn't place FB and contacts together, even if the name is the same(I think).
i sorted out the issue using the app called facebook contact sync!
Check out performance assistant app, turn on facebook inside xperia
Note : it may decrease phone performance, I suggest you to turn off features you don't want, such as ANT+...
Edit : sorry I think you are in 4.0.4, but you are 2.3.x

I'm experiencing the same issue on my Mini. I had never used Facebook for Xperia, but reading this thread I decided to give it a try. And here are my results:
The first screen shows a phone contact which has been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia. As you can see, I have his phone number (Cellulare) and the only thing I managed to sync is his birthday (Data di nascita).
The second screen shows a contact I don't have in my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Android and Facebook for Xperia, and all I can see is his Name, his birthday and that he's married. Interesting.
The third screen shows a contact I don't have on my phone. It's been synchronized with both Facebook for Xperia and Skype. As you can see, his personal picture (from Skype) is correctly shown, together with informations from both Skype and Facebook.
Other synchronizations (calendar and photo albums through Facebook for Xperia) work just fine. Contacts seem to be bugged.
I thought it could depend on the fact I had frozen Timescape and its extensions. I tried and unfroze everything, but nothing changed.
I don't think it's because I'm using exDialer&Contacts as a system app (switched with Titanium Backup), could it be?
your phone doesnt simply sync the contacts that are only in your phonebook (ie with a number). it brings in all the contacts from whatever accounts you've setup for sync. so its actually showing you all the contacts, phone contacts (with number), gmail contacts, fb contacts and skype, plus any other service that you would setup to sync.
in contacts, touch menu and select filter, choose the account you want to see contacts from. and you're done

Looks like you didn't understand the problem, or didn't read my post at all.
Ok i got today similar problem. I sit for it for half hour and problem solved. Just make sure you have activated
1. menu --> performance assistant --> facebook inside xperia
2. in settings --> xperia --> facebook inside xperia
then for sure deleted all facebook acconunts in settings --> accounts and sync and manually add account FACEBOOK INSIDE XPERIA
if is all right you must see in this account three items (albums in gallery,calender,contacts)
Now just sync it and after few momments check contacts list.
If you help this pleas write and hit thanks button

Timescape has nothing to do with Facebook in Xperia.
I don't see a problem there. Only the info, that you can see on the person's profile, is available on your phone. In some cases, if the name matches fully(first and last name set properly), then contacts are placed together, if not then 2 separate contacts.

There are not separate contacts. The contacts are automatically merged, and you can see it from the first picture. A phone contact (I only have his phone number) is merged with the information from Facebook (his birthday) but I can't see his personal picture or his facebook posts.
But maybe this is just how it should work. I don't know. I was sure that Facebook for Xperia would have synchronized Pictures and Facebook status as well.

The pictures should be synchronized, I got that feature on gingerbread, status only if you had set it to do it(Contacts-Settings, I think).
I didn't have chance to test it on ICS.
Contacts are only merged if first and last name match. On my phone, it didn't happen, as importing contacts from another phone resulted in whole name in Last name section.

Hello!
I just changed to a new Galaxy S3 last weekend and there's still an issue that I have not been able to solve. When I go to the contacts app, contacts appear linked to their Facebook profile, but I cannot see their picture. In the synchronization options my Facebook account seems to be well added and the "Sync contacts" option is ticked. I just want every contact to appear with their FB picture the same way it used to happen in my already retired HTC Desire.
Any help with this?
Thank you very much!
i couldn't get this to work with the facebook app (which was the only reason i downloaded it) so instead i tried an app called "syncmypix" which did the pictures > contacts sync perfectly

CONTACT SYNC into the PLAYSTORE is for FREE and you can chose huge picture size!
Is there no way to get FB contact phone numbers (if they're on there) without using the official FB app (which doesn't seem to work)?
Try to delete the facebook sync and re-do it. Not sure if that will help.
Longshot: Delete the facebook app cache.
Thank you all for your replies. Most of them are the things a "more or less experienced user" would have done and, because of this, I had already tried them...
Using either "Haxsync" or "Contact Sync" there are still some contacts that I don't get well synchronized...
I have also tried to edit some contacts manually via my Gmail account adding the HTC Data type information that is supposed to link contacts with Facebook (lines lika <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:YYYYYYYY</Facebook></HTCData>) but not even this way I've had success...
It's unbelievable how such a simple thing can bring so much trouble...
Ok, here's what I did to finally solve it.
With Haxsync, synchronize automatically the contacts the app recognised itself.
With Haxsync, synchronize all my other Facebook contacts. There's an option to do that, you have to select all your contacts from a list, one by one.
Link manually these contacts synchronized in previous step.
With Haxsync again, assign each contact it's HTC Facebook ID.
Now, with Contact Sync, do a synchronization with the "Sync by HTC Facebook ID" option ticked.
Done!
If you have a tidy list of contacts in Gmail, every one of them with its HTC Facebook ID, there's no way it can go wrong!
I use Facebook Contact Sync - might be better or worse than Haxsync, not sure - but it's free. It works but you have to do some manual labor to set it up. It could use some more features and support from the dev but at least it does the job...unlike the Facebook app...which is a total disappointment with syncing.

I've spoken with some devs about this and it's not possible because Facebook only allows addons to see/pull certain pieces of information. Birthdays, for example, can be set to private by FB users and so addons cannot pull that data - some people have it public so it works sometimes. I believe phone numbers are just completely off limits.
This works in Wifi connection only using the official facebook app.. It will not immediately load all the images specially if you have lots of friends but it will load it all.. If not try to clear your facebook app cache and data...
Using only mobile connection facebook is a failure, all the problems will start if you are in mobile connection :cyclops:

Wifi connection works for me... try clearing the data and cache of facebook or better reinstall the application then try to sync again using a wifi connection (make sure you clear the cache and data before uninstalling the app).. You may need to still wait for a while if you have lots of friend.
I'm only having problem if I use Mobile connection...
An additional question: do you know if we can make the contacts be shown with their Facebook name? This was possible with HTC Sense...
Im using the official Facebook for Android app and I have contact photos, phone numbers etc everything synching fine. And thats even with moving the data from one device to another.

I have no issues and the best thing about that app are:
more function than original app
NO transferring of your SMS (unlike the original version from facebook, which does that)
nice UI
Make sure that contacts sync setting from facebook is enabled than try to logout from facebook app and log back on... It worked for me and now I have all my contacts pictures!
all the other applications doesnt sync numbers or emails from facebook only pictures !. can somebody tell me if there is a solution ? i tried all the posted solutions but non of them is working !

I was just about to suggest Facebook Contact Sync, there isn't really that much extra that can be gained from having the Facebook app synced directly.
IIRC, birthdays might be a problem with FCS, but I use Ebo Birthday for that anyway.

Its because it is not supported. As simple as that! Use Haxsync for this purpose. for syncing birthdays best way is to add your FB calendar in Google calendar. Haxsync syncs calendar too.

Hey,i worked a bit on my phone marging the numbers to the right facebook profile so ill be able to see my contacts with their facebook profile picture.
The question is how do i save it all?i mean,i once did it then when i switched ROM and loaded the gmail contacts they loaded but without all the pictures.
Any solutions to save it so when ill wipe / change ROM the facebook profile picture will remain?
I'm using the "SyncMyPics" app.
This will sync all pictures of Facebook with ur contacts (lokal/google) without having synchronize with Facebook app etc.
So this means after sync of pics, u can sync to Gmail and all is fine also after a restore because pics will be saved, too
Hope u understand what I wrote

yes i see,but in my case there are names in hebrew and on facebook they appear in english so the software doesnt recognize them..this application can sync the pictures that already exist (because i marged each contact with facebook) to gmail account?

Oh ok...
No the software only load the pics from the profile of each person and set this to local profile in contacts. This profile will be sync to Google (Without the software)
And u Facebook contact only sync with facebook so no direct contact from pics to local profile (bad explained )
Hmm...
No idea atm, but that was the reason why I used the software.
PS: Only option I see is to download all Facebook pictures and set them as profile picture on ur phone contacts
