i apologise if this has already been answered.
i just recently flashed dutty's 2.3 rom and everything seems to be running smoothly.
i went into contacts and linked my facebook profile with my phone, it gave me an option to link contacts from phone to face book, and the save photos and birthdays from facebook.

I can't seem to get facebook contact pictures to update in the people/contacts app. The facebook pictures populated in contacts when first setup, but loads of my contacts have updated their facebook profile pics since and they just won't update on my Desire no matter what I do. I've sync'd, removed facebook, relinked contacts etc no joy. Anyone know how to make this update?

Same here only way I can update is deleting the sync and re syncing.

This is well documented on here guys as something that needs fixing. The only way to get the pics updated is to remove your facebook account and then re-add it.
Various people I beleive have aready emailed HTC (including myself) about this problem.
I have the exact same issue though about 2 weeks ago I noticed one of my contacts pictures had updated on my phone without me doing anything but it was only the 1 from what I can see and don't know what makes that one different from the rest

I tried it and removed the FB account and also the FB app but after adding them back it won't load any FB contacts at all!!
The app works fine and the account show like it syncs but in contacts when i choose which ones to show it just says: facebook (0)
What gives?
Does Anyone have multiples contacts being created and linked every single time the app initiates a sync. So for example under Joe smith it would create a contact named com.facebook.auth.login under joe smith. And this is created everytime it syncs, so overnight i had about 5 for each contact. It also doesnt pull the picture for each contact. is this just me?
seeing the same behavior here
Same thing here

additional information
I will add a few things in case my configuration is similar to others:
I am running DC 3.5 and have banned:
DCUpdater
SprintTV
SprintNFL
SprintNascar
Sprint VVM
Twitter
Facebook
Friendstream
I then installed the market versions of Facebook and Twitter. Everything seems to work perfectly except the Facebook contact Sync. I am getting duplicate entries and profile photos are not being sync'd in.
It did that to me also. The new update IMHO is crap. I uninstalled it and went back to the old version.
I just turned the contact sync off for now. What I would really like is just a way to sync photos and contact info straight into my gmail address book.
First off, here's my setup:
DC3.5
netarchy's 3.7.8b kernel
FB for Android (newest from Market)
Contacts synced from Google
What's happening is that now I don't automatically get the FB picture set as the contact pic, which I did before I switched to DC3.5 (after waging a brutal fight against BS1.2, which I lost). What I see when I click on the Link icon under a given contact is the Google contact and a TON of the same contact name with com.facebook.auth.login entries beneath it.
Anyone have any idea what's going on here? I just want the pix to sync to the contacts so I don't have to set them all manually.
yea im having the same problem. some contacts show in sms no poblem but most just show the silhouette. also under contacts some show the correct updated facebook picture while others seem to be ones they had months ago and it wont update to the new one.
Hi guys,
first of all i'm sorry for my english, but it's not my first language.
I've a issue with the syncronization of the facebook contacts with the default address book of my wildfire.
I installed the facebook app, and i set it to syncronize all the contacts by facebook-settings-sincronize...
Now in the addressbook i see all my facebook contacts, all my gmail contacts, but only gmail contacts with a pic loaded on gmail have a pic on the address book.
So the great part of the contacts haven't a pic.
How can i do?
I'm using the last cyano nightly.
Please don't suggest me to use SyncMyPix, i don't like that app, it makes my address book too much slow.
I want a "clean" solution. Before i flashed my Wildfire, with the stock ROM, i visualized all the pics =/
you could try this app from the market it works well. you can sync ur contacts photos from facebook..

Thank you very much for the reply, but few hours ago i solved my issue installing FriendCaster for Facebook. However thanks
your welcome..
how does friendcaster work? syncs the existing contacts only or all?
It works great! It syncs all contacts and you can also use HQ pics. Try it and told me what do you think
I've recently had this problem, only a few contact images were visible after syncing using the Facebook app. For me, it seemed that the photos which were synched were the ones which you have previously loaded up on the Facebook app.
I got around the problem by clicking onto my friends list within the Facebook app, and scrolling through the list waiting for each of the profile pictures to load up. Once I'd got to the bottom of the list I went back to contacts on the phone all of the images were visible!
Slightly strange workaround but now all my contact images are visible and they all update as they should.
try reinstalling it
I am currently running UKB V 3.6 and lately my contact's photos keep changing. For some reason, one minute they will show the actual photo (synced in from Facebook - or Google...not sure which one at this point) and a little while later a photo of someone random from my Facebook friends replaces the right photo.
I have Facebook set to sync only with existing contacts. My contacts currently read all Gmail and none in the phone (and Facebook is unchecked). What is interesting is that I remember all of my contacts were in the phone when I bought it (from Verizon transferring the contacts for me about a year ago). I have also experienced this phenomenon when I both check and uncheck the "sync and backup Google account" in the ROM setup.
Does anyone have this happening to them and do they know of a solution? I can't say I have had this happen to me on any other ROM. I didn't want to put this question in UKB's thread in the event it isn't the ROM. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I just opened up a contact with the picture problem and found that the phone is linking multiple accounts...even though it never asked me to link them.
So after going back to a Skyraider nandroid, my phone synced and ruined my pristine contacts. So I restored the SRZeus backup and exported my contacts to the sd card and imported them into the ukb backup to get back the contacts that Google/Facebook thought I didn't need because it couldn't link them to Facebook. :banghead:
