So something happened today after a power cycle, i lost all my facebook contacts under my contact page. In the end its not that big of a deal becuase i believe i backed them all up to google... I did however enjoy the ability to use the updates tab under everyones name before calling them so i was up to date. I also liked having the up to date pics of them via facebook. So i double checked and made sure facebook was still syncing everything under the contacts, and it was. However everyones facebooks contact is just outright gone now. Not just missing pictures or not displaying updates... gone.
I cant seem to find a way to reenable this. Any ideas?

I was showing my cousin (iphone user) how cool that was but it was missing.

This happened to me also. Resynchronizing them doesn't seem to do anything. It sucks. I thought that I could go into Groups under contacts and add them all again, but there isn't any option to add contacts to the preexisting groups. That's actually the only part of TouchWiz that's really pissed me off so far. It would be great if someone could figure out how to fix this.
Do you think the update to Facebook caused this?

See at first i thought it might have had something to do with the facebook update. but i had not updated my facebook at the time. I hage since then thinkinkijg it would fix the problem, but it has not helped at all.
Contacts are still MIA for me at this point. Anyone got ideas?

Lost all Facebook contacts? That sounds more like a feature than a bug

I am trying to sync contacts but nothing shows up?? No friends or info I need help!!
Get out more and meet more people.
If you are trying to get your facebook friends to show up in your contacts, go to contacts and hit menu view and make sure that facebook is checked.
Posting this in multiple threads to see if you get an answer will just get you flamed. Just an FYI.
I am to, I emailed HTC and this was their response:
Hello Greg, Thank you for contacting HTC. I understand how important it is for you to have your phone function the way it should.

I hope that answered your questions, if you have any other issues or questions please feel free to contact us. HTC Technical Support.. [websites that I couldn't post]

I am still getting the "service currently unavailable" message. maybe it is better to just sleep on it and try tomorrow.
It syncs my pic but no others doesn't even display any contacts to chose from...

Have to say, I removed my Facebook account from sync and tried adding it back. I can log in, but all my friends no longer show up and sync properly. So something still must be going on with Facebook.
Hopefully an update that will give us notification when a message is sent Something so simple and yet they can't implement it. How about facebook chat while we are at it. I heard rumors that Froyo should allow for push notification like it does with IPHONE. The IPHONE app is a more polished APP. Why can't they replicate that one for Android?
I am not a big facebook fan but I have friends( Yes I pay them monthly ) that likes to chat on it.
I never could get the facebook app that came with my phone to work, I ended up trying to delete it and downloading the android app from facebook.com. Works great so far except I can't (or don't know how to) accept friend requests with it.
It's not the Facebook app that isn't working. It's the Facebook for Sense that doesn't work. I've tried the suggestions above already.

This didnt work for me but there is an app called syncmypix in the market that works excellent.......
sycmypix
for all having issues syncing facebook contacts go to the market and download syncmypix and it does the job....
I don't think you guys seem to understand the problem. This isn't just sync'ing pics. If you wiped your Evo (or any mobile device) and try to load your friends from facebook, they won't sync.
IT'S A PROBLEM WITH FACEBOOK SERVERS!
Try it. Delete your facebook app and links, re-add them and try to sync again.
... Just installed Syncmypix and all it does is add photos. Nothing more. I don't know about others but this does not "do the job" of syncing facebook contacts. Just the pic.
Yes, this just started and you can search other web sites, many people are now reporting it. It's a problem on the server side at face book, they've changed something.

That is what I figured when I tried to view my "facebook phonebook" in my people directory.
First it said that I didn't have any friends, so I decided to do a refresh. During the refresh, I noticed that it just hanged (with the little circle spinning in the top-right corner). Then it exited out of the program saying "unable to connect"
ok i thought it was just me but hopefully they get this fixed cause i like being able to link my contacts
Hi guys had the phone for around.d 3 weeks I think now love the phone screen is so crisp espesh when watching films it comes to its own. The only problem I have found and can not sort out is contact sync I want only the contact on my phone to be sync with facebook not everyone I have there also I have 3x each person sim phone and sync been playing g for days now it is easy on my hd2 any help plz

Yep I have the same issue. I cannot stand the way this phones handles contacts and syncing. I have yet to find a way to just add contacts the good old fashion way as static data on the memory card which is what I want.
Sadly I have removed everything facebook from the phone just to keep the contacts out despite un-ticking sync contacts
come on guys there must be someone with a way round this problem
....
Well, the only solution I found so far is to visit htcsense.com and edit all the contacs in there. So instead of having three contacts each with different information, I just have one contact with all the information.
But it took me about 6h to edit all the contacs
lol not really a 'solution' is it.....
i have done this now takes ages as it loads up all contacts every time. there must be another way to sort this out i love my DHD but this is rely doing my head in now. I get a bigger list when i go to tex and add a contact in there all my FB contacts come up not much fun when you have 300+ in there all with funny stuff instead of numbers come on guys you can cook up new Roms but no one knows this problem HELP plz
Use your Google contact list... It really can't possibly get any better than that.
I am, but that doesn't stop facebook populating everything. Why can't I have Facebook for HTC sense without it putting all the contacts in there...
Open the People app
Tap menu
Tap View
You can disable the other contact lists

Exactly!!!
OK I just disabled HTC facebook completely, and now just use the native Android app. It properly supports "existing contacts only"
It's not like HTC's app or widget are particularly good anyway

I cant seem to get my linked Facebook profile pictures to show up in my text messaging app (the stock one). Only 1 picture for 1 of my many contacts displays, never updates though.
M using syndicate rom, Andriod 2.1. Anyone else experience this problem before?
I remember seeing a post about this a couple of months back. I don't recall whether it was resolved or not, but you should try looking around the forums for it.
Download SyncMyPix
Settings-> accounts and sync-> delete both facebook acounts. Then add facebook account back on from the same screen. Then login to your facebook app. That's how I got mine to sync a few months ago.

+1 on that
I can confirm that this worked for me also when I was using Syndicate. For whatever reason, that Rom/version had 2 FB apps/syncs.
I could have sworn I did that once before without anything happening. Maybe twice was a charm. Thanks though
Are there any apps to get this bback. I miss my contacts not having pictures
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I'm using SyncMyPix. It can download your facebook friends pictures. Also the pictures will be uploaded to google contacts.
Awesome cheers

This is a life saver. And the fact that you can select some contacts where the names doesn't match perfectly makes this better than the official FB sync.
Thanks for posting this. However, there is one pretty big flaw, at least in my opinion. There's no option to prevent the app from overwriting contact icons that I manually set on my own. This can be annoying as many people have stupid pictures set as their profile pics on facebook.
Can i really sync all contact even the ones not on my phone or is it just for syncing a photo?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
my contacts dont have pictures on them only my girlfriend and me. as for facebook I deactivated a long time ago, I couldnt stand the site. only thing that annoys me is the fact games force you to have one, eg zynga poker, Loved it until I found out its facebook only
I use http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/ and http://spanningsync.com for my Mac.
How come the facebook contacts on the new GB leak are un-editable? If I remember correctly you could on froyo, anyone have any idea why?
I've noticed this too. It might just be a gingerbread feature
Hopefully it will be able to be fixed somehow or possibly changed, not felling having 2 of the same contact names for no reason
I agree with you there. It does get quite annoying
Yeah im having the same issue. I have to unsinc all the facebook contacts and manual add the person as a contact with the info I want then resinc all the facebook contacts and it adds the facebook to the existing profile.
