Facebook Contacts sync not working

[EMSaperstein]

Driving me insane this is happening to me for the last week or so. I got logged out for something stupid and it won't resync my contacts. People are calling I have no idea who they are I can't find phone numbers. Going nuts and need this it's my whole communications link!

Anyone fixes this please post trying not to have to reset my phone!

I don't sync contacts and if someone from my Facebook list accidentally calls me, it shows their name and picture on my screen.

Maybe this will help 'fix the glitch'...

Question:

I'm on a Samsung Galaxy 5. Super happy to have found this thread.

Downgraded to 27 ... now, if I upgrade again ... will new contacts *continue* to sync? Or,does this fix just enable current connections to be synced; and then -- future connections are not synced?

I uninstalled Facebook, installed Facebook version 27 and then synced my contacts..seems to work. But then when you update Facebook to the current version (52 or 53), it won't sync with anything newly added. So you'd have to downgrade to version 27 every time you want to sync with new Facebook contacts that you add to your contact list.

I also installed sync.me which seems to add photos for my contacts in my contact list...but often doesn't find some people that are listed with Facebook names that are different from their real First & Last name.

Hopefully Facebook fixes this issue as it's driving me crazy!

Same issue...Facebook contacts not syncing so no links are available between my gmail contacts and facebook contacts. I used to see the pictures pulled from facebook on my contacts...not anymore.
Anyone know of a good way of having images from my contacts pulled from facebook with a 3rd party app?

So - it looks like I'm not going to update to 52/53 yet

can confirm that upgrading to 52+ (after going to 27 and it working perfectly) will NOT work.

in other words, after updating all my facebook contacts into my phone (S5) with v27 installed, i then upgraded to v52, i then added a new fb friend to my fb list. This friend cannot sync with my phone now that i'm on 52.

if you want to retain the contact sync feature with facebook on your S5, you have to keep v27 installed and NOT update the facebook app. Very annoying but at least it's info.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the posting and its help.

My way :

Go to this website and download - developers.facebook.com/docs/android/downloads

Ver. 29 facebook apps

Note: enable the unknow source for this apps installation

After installed, sellect the 'synch all' option in the facebook app.

Then all contacts is synched without 3rd party app.

Yeah this solution has already been found. The problem remains in when the app gets updated, it goes back to the old problem again.

Here is how I fixed mine.
Settings : Applications : Application Manager: All App
Stopped Facebook app
Cleared Data
On settings:accounts:Facebook : sync with your device
More option : sync now
Contacts now are syncing fine
Facebook ver 53.0.0. 29.18

that does mess up the app. I got v54 and that still did not fix the problem.

I'm working on two phones with the same problem. Did all the resets and still nothing. Also trying to avoid third party apps

 

[PIRATAS01]

Any solutions with external apps that could update the contacts sync aste if it was the Original Facebook?

 

[Jhutch0016]

Thank you so much! This worked for my S4 perfectly.

 

[m2016]

I also have the same problem and settings end on Chat...
Was trying to re-install Facebook but still the same issue...:-\

Thank you so much! This worked for my S4 perfectly.
