Hi
I've linked all my phone contacts to their Facebook account.
There status updates work fine but I can never get my phone to update their profile picture if they change this.
Does anybody else have this problem?
The only way I've found to fix it is to remove the facebook link from all contacts them re-add, but this is a pain in the arse!
Anybody having the same problems?
Im not sure about for anyone elses in my contacts, but my pic doesn't seem to update automatically. I just switch phone off and back on and that does it.

Wondering this too. Because right now it kinda sucks having the same pic all the time.

Not sure what I did to cause this, but as of last night (didnt install anything..was just playing around with the phone) my contacts in SMS do not have their default icon which is typically their image from FB.
Any idea how to correct this?
I downloaded chompSMS this morning, and verified the contact images are pulling through correctly there...its the stock SMS app thats not rendering contact icons accordingly.
Thanks.
Running Fresh 1.0.1
Try to re-sync your fb account and once is syncs reboot. Sometimes it takes time for pics to display for contacts. Its happen to me where I see fb pic on people app and not in sms app but after a while fb pics show up everywhere.
Thanks for the input.
Just tried that and unfortunately that did not work.
Any other suggestions ?
What good is a smart phone if it can't walk and chew gum at the same time?
Sometimes my contact pic wont show up sometimes... Weird
Bumping this because I still can't seem to fix this. Flashed back to DC and same issue.
Deleted Chomp sms and no difference.
Anyone?

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.
i did search online earlier and from what i can see is that its pretty widespread throughout android systems like hero, evo, etc... blah i want a fix
Edit: new question.
changed the question. I have a new problem. When I'm trying to add certain contacts to the people widget, some are not showing up. They are there though (in contacts and in gmail account.) Is it time for me to re do my gmail account contacts manually? I've had issues such as posted below more than once. It's getting frustrating when my contacts get all screwed up.
Original question: Google sync down?:
On my Google account sync, "Contacts" portion, I'm getting an exclamation and it says sync is down and will be back up shortly? Am I the only one with this? Just wondering because my girlfriends Hero doesn't have the issue. It was just an all of a sudden it poped up thing. Hopefully there's an easy fix or its down. Any body know anything?

I have a new problem but didn't feel the need to make a new thread. I changed post one if people would please read it.
Thanks!

For some reason only one of my Facebook friends is not showing up in my contact list, i have, in settings, set it to show all Facebook contacts. It shows all except one. I go into my Facebook app and it shows him as a friend...i don't get it... I've cleared out my log in through accounts and then set it back up, waited for all the contacts to be linked up again, but he's still not there... really frustrating... any ideas?

Yes! This is just the issue I've experienced too. One of my contacts doesn't show up no matter what I do. I've spent a lot of time playing with this. It's quite annoying. I think this is a problem on FB's side.
Well I don't know what exactly I did to fix it, but its working now... I went into my facebook albums to check out some pics and he was on the lost so I checked my contact list and he was linked again

I think sometimes if the names don't match up perfectly it doesn't find it...I'm sure you verified this already though.
Facebook Sync/Contacts/Messaging
I am having a problem getting my contact picture to appear in messaging as well as caller ID.
I have synced my Facebook account with my contact list, joined all of the contacts, and have the Caller ID default set to the Facebook picture.
However, all of the pictures in my messaging and when someone calls me comes up as the blank default picture as if they do not have one set.
The pictures appear in the contact list fine, and are all marked as default for caller ID. How can I get their pictures to appear in my messaging and my caller ID?
Everyone here needs to say what ROM they are using. HTC Sense does things different then cm7. sense 3.0 may do thing different then 2.1 or 1.0. Also are you using the "Sync" in the facebook application or are you using the accounts sync in htc sense?
I dont think anyone here has enough information to answer your questions at this point.
One thing you may want to do is add that one contact as a contact in gmail (if that is what you sync contact with) and see if that contact gets linked with the facebook person.
Hope that helps, and good luck

i am having the same problem with only one fb contact not showing in my android samsung epic touch galaxy 2 stock OS not showing.

PLEASE HELP
hi,
i've upgraded from a DHD, after syncing with facebook and putting my details in, the contacts in my contacts app dont all show the facebook profile picture.
Some do.....unsure why, but not the majority......
Never had this issue with my desire and my desire hd
i could wipe the phone and start again, or remove facebook data and then re-add
i'm also wondering about how HTC actually saves this data also, like since its related to my gmail account, some of the images may have saved to some of my contacts that way, making me think that they have the facebook profile pic attached, when in fact its not, its google saving this image to my address book, rather than the phone receiving this from my facebook contacts (yeah i know, i'm not too good at explaining this)
Bottom line, my phone address book includes facebook contacts, many of which dont actually have any profile pics attached to their contact on my phone.
PS: I'm just gonna wipe and start again, and see what happens
it happens on mine too. was wondering~
any solution so far?
I did a hard reset, it helped a little as now more of my contacts are showing facebook profile pic, but still not all

I believe this is an ICS (Android 4.0) issue. Get Haxsync from the Market (argh, Play Store). It resolves this.

Ever since flashing the ROM on 12/12 I have not had my contacts sync. I'm getting the "sync is currently experiencing problems" notice. I've tried numerous fixes after Googling the message, nothing works. Has anybody else had this issue and successfully fixed it?
Not here, everything synced. AOKP, Dec 4
I have the same issue with the Google sync. I don't have a fix for you, unfortunately.
Although the sync page for all my gmails constantly says its not working right now, my emails seem to be working just fine. And I have 4 gmails, besides one Hotmail and one yahoo email account. But, if someone does know what's up, it would be nice to know why it is stuck with red spiral and not green.

I have the problem with the Galaxy S3. It's running stock OS. No third party contacts apps. It used to work. And then it stopped. Now any change I make on the phone does not get synced to the cloud. Very very frustrating. See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42641 If enough people star it, Google will look into it.
