Hi guys I have a Facebook account I used to use but I deactivated it years ago. However it is the best source for keeping my contacts having their preferred picture.
On my vivid I was able to log on to Facebook, sync contacts, and all of their pictures would show up on my contacts in the phone. Then I could deactivate Facebook and the pictures would stay.
On my hox+ I'm unable to do that?? As soon as I deactivate the contacts pictures go away. Anyone know if there's a way I can have both deactivated and their pictures saved?

I'd like to know the answer to this too
Also, when you sync the calender, it disappears when u deactivate, is there a way to make it stay? It's very handy for birthday reminders for friends. Keep missing folks birthdays.
In facebook settings tell it to sync with existing contacts.

My girlfriend just got a thunderbolt. Unrooted. It seems as if Facebook will not sync with her contacts. Trying to manually link them does nothing unless the contact name exactly matches the Facebook name. Just wondering if there is some secret handshake or whatever to get this to work properly?

Do you have both Facebook the app and HTC's Sense Facebook accounts under Settings > Accounts & Sync? I believe its the Facebook App that syncs contacts
Ya she has them both. I'm sort of at a loss, works perfectly on my incredible then do the exact same thing on her thunderbolt and it just wont link unless she edits her contact names to match Facebook profiles.

it seems the only way i can sync the pics is to do it manually. i havent really checked out the calendar, but i know that the pics don't sync automatically.
I'm having this problem to. If i go to the accounts & sync and choose Facebook for HTC sense it shows the calendar isn't syncing. My friend stream widget hasn't updated since July 2nd. Any ideas?
I've had trouble finding the answer to this question as I'm not really sure what to search for.
For Android Google apps (such as Gmail and Contacts especially) Is it a one-way sync, or two-way sync, or something inbetween?
If I add a contact to my phone that I associate with a Google ID, it syncs to Google such that I see it in my Gmail Contacts list once it's done.
But when I delete a contact either on my phone or in Gmail, will it delete the contact off the other devices as well?
How does it all work?
Thanks in advance, xda community

yup
From my understanding it's a completely two way sync based on time stamps (date updated)

It uses Microsoft active sync, so when you update on one source, it updates on all.

what rom are you using? if its NRGZ then, it has that problem, and go to that thread: (rad through this entire page, you'll find the answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759&page=168) , I had the same problem, you should find your answer within the last couple of days post....the trick is that you need to sync your contacts with the "facebook for sense" under sync in settings, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FACEBOOK APP, don't sync with native facebook app....once you have synced the first time with "facebook for sense" under sync (if its not there, you have to add an account, if you don't see "facebook for sense" you have to get the apk and push it to you /system/app") wait for all the contacts to sync and get their pictures...then if you wish you can download the facebook app. if this doesn't work the only way to do it is to do a factory restore and sync facebook, before syncing google. don't sign into google but instead go and setup facbeook for sense first and sync contacts first, then add google account.
I am using stock shipped rom...and i have already facebook app)) butt thank you for help

uninstall Facebook app altogether
if your using stock, you should already have facebook for htc sense in settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...download the facebook app ...
if it doesn't work...factory reset...don't setup google account but again go to settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...then setup google account, then download facebook app..
Okay i will try and i will say ))) )) thank you very much bro...

im back on stock, there is no option to add/sync facebook under add account and there never has been. facebook for sense is listed under all applications tho
May be a noob question, but a friend of mine has the Razr Maxx and in her Handcent conversation list it shows their Facebook pics. But my SGS: II is only showing the pics linked to their Google account, not their Facebook account. How can I link their conversation/contact pic to their FB pic? Is that possible on the SGS II? I can't find the solution
try hanxsync (paid) or fb contact sync. These programs sync the fb pictures to the right contacts.
Thanks but I couldn't locate either of those in the market :-/

It's "Haxsync" and "Facebook contact sync"

Haxsync lags and crashes the People app. I do not recommend it. Friendcaster is a facebook notification program, but it has a very good contact syncing feature and is free.
friends sync also works good

I use handcent with the original Facebook app and my pics sync. It reads the pic from the contacts so that's all u need. I had to mess with Facebook app a bit by clearing the app data and uninstalling and then reinstalling. But now that I have it , it works without a problem. It's a pain but it does work.

I did this, cleared data and reinstalled and and for some reason it still didn't work, so what I did was just remove the pic I had set for the contact and it imported their Facebook pic.
Thanks for the help everyone!
