LWW: Facebook inside Xperia synchronizing problem

Hi,

I am having couple of issues with "Facebook inside Xperia" in LWW. I have updated my LWW to Sony official ICS.

Problem1:

I have connected to Facebook  "Facebook inside Xperia"...while connecting for the first time it asked me if I want to syncronise a) All Contacts, b) Existing Contacts c) No Sync. I selected existing contacts option.

Now I want to change this option to "All Contacts" but I am not getting this option again. I tried deleting the Facebook Account under "Account & Sync", it asks for facebook id and password again but not this option. I changed sync option in preinstalled facebook application but that sync only facebook and not "Facebook inside Xperia".

I want to use"Facebook inside Xperia" and not Facebook (preinstalled) to sync to my contacts as the latter only adds an option to view profile in contacts and "Facebook inside Xperia" adds date of birth and other details as well.

Problem2:

There are some existing contacts whose name in Facebook is exacltly same as in my Contacts, still they are not syncing with "Facebook inside Xperia". These same contacts are getting automatically synced with my Linkedin app then why not with "Facebook inside Xperia"?

Problem3:

Why I cannot "Facebook inside Xperia" sync contact details (email, phone no.) from facebook account. My friend is using Nokia Windows phone and he is able to do the same, then why cannot my phone?

Thanks,

1.

Have you tried to change the sync option in the Facebook application? Facebook > Menu key > Options > Sync contacts.

2 and 3.

The FB inside Xperia works together with the Facebook app and I know that there are some problems with syncing contacts sometimes. This is still being looked into, but what you can do is to manually merge the contacts you experience problems with, with the Facebook contacts.

Yes, I tried and it works...but I want to use FB inside Xperia (while disabling FB app as it uses lot of RAM)...even after disabling FB app it sync existing contacts but I want to sync all contacts.

If I remember correctly, there was a prompt to chose between All or Existing contacts when I first started using FB inside Xperia. May be I have to factory reset or format my phone and see if this option comes again.
