New App for Facebook Hi-Res Photo syncing - "Haxsync"

**Rickgsx** · 12-25-2011, 09:14 PM

Not to hi-jack the thread, but I have a few questions that I'm hoping some of the experts can answer...

I've tried Haxsync and some of the updates several times and I am still unable to sync all the names and pictures correctly... I think I know and I have own personal workaround. I think part of the reason for me is that I have names in facebook that are different in my phone.... ie. Nicknames, married names, short names, "Kathy as opposed to Katherne" etc...and I think that is part of the problem for me.

My workaround to this is to, bypass any and all facebook sync tools (for pictures) and make and crop their image and add it to thier contact name. Yes, I do know their images wont be in sync with their images on FB if they change it, but I'm okay with that.

My intention is to take a screenshot of their picture...Crop it to just their face and add it to their contact. So here is where I need your help in answering a few questions...
- Where are the pictures stored once they are added to the contact.. I was not able to find this location
- If I delete the original picture (The one taken before I crop and added it to the contact list), will the newly added picture in the persons contact also be deleted or is the croped image imbedded somewhere..
- I am "assuming" the size of the file in the croped picture in the persons contact is just that, "the size of the croped picture" and NOT the file size of the entire picture before it was cropped...
- I'm also assuming that if I back up my contact list (via a software applicatlion) that I will be able to restore them with the pictures attached.
- If worse comes the worse, I can always crop & resize the pictures offline and copy them to a Facebook contact folder on the phone..

Thoughts on my ideas...? Thanks guys...

To developer. Will try this app but FYI your app description on the market points to an Xsan thread that is invalid.

Just bought this, and it works nicely! Haven't run into any issues yet.

Are you matching just existing contacts? Because if you are, the names in your phone have to exactly match their fb names. Also have you tried resyncing?

Yes for me and nothing different then free apps out there. Syncmypix at least scans your entire address book. I timed my refund window. Ten minutes and it said refund non longer an option. Not happy.

Why is app in market but not on appbrain?

do you still have syncmypix installed?

I tried syncing all contacts but it only syncs all contacts up to "anthony brewer" (showing a total of 40 contacts) didnt get any photos after that (i hv 600+ contacts). Tried syncing, resyncing, reinstall+syncing... none of that worked.
It would be great if someone can solve this problem for me

Hey, I just released version 1.4.1, which should fix all sync problems. Thanks to everyone who sent me their logs, couldn't have fixed that without you guys

will give it a shot.

Don't forget that also if people use low res images for their pics you can't expect excellent results with everyone's pic.

**droidmarker009** · 12-27-2011, 08:56 AM

1.4.1 is in the market now. I updated and still not syncing past the first few "M" contacts!!!!

what do i do now????

*EDIT*

I tried to uninstall completely reboot the phone, reinstall, readd the account in accounts and sync. Let it update and still nothing. I've tried via 4g and wifi.

droidmarker009: Can you send me a log of your syncing process?

Relax, the dev will fix it. He'd like you to send him a log. You can do that by downloading

**droidmarker009** · 12-27-2011, 10:22 AM

thanks for the link. i sent the log to the dev.

**droidmarker009** · 12-27-2011, 12:08 PM

He got it working..some bug with the face detection...

**gatortuba** · 12-27-2011, 02:27 PM

How do you merge contacts between Google and Facebook accounts with this?

**Stang68** · 12-27-2011, 02:28 PM

This newest update added the ability to sync only when charging but for some reason it won't stay checked. Anyone else see this?

**motsrox** · 12-27-2011, 04:32 PM

Stang68: That feature isn't ready for primetime yet, I accidentally included the wrong preferences.xml in the 1.4.2 release

Sorry about that, it's coming soon, though

**dgwood12** · 12-27-2011, 04:43 PM

If my contacts have the same or similar names as they have on Facebook will this auto join with those contacts or will I have to manually join them to the haxsync profile? Doesn't seem to be auto joining for me...
