On my TP2 Facebook integration is fine for most contacts but for some of them it can't seem to get their profile picture. Its bizarre because it used to be able to get it for same users when I first got the phone.
Anyone else having this problem?
you have to keep refreshing it like a million times until they all load. its stupid, but that's the only way i got it to work
Yip, i just forgot about mine, and eventually the pictures were there.

I remember seeing that in the registry, I believe. I think it was in hkey-user/software/manilla but i'm not positive on that. one of the values was for the facebook user login name.
I have the same issue.... Only a few of my friends don't update
I have one person that won't update. It's because of thier privacy/profile access setting on facebook. That's the only thing I can figure out.
Facebook issues
Wondered if you ever found a solution on the FACEBOOK photos.
Maybe I just have to wait longer.
I actually had more photos yesterday than today.
All other fuctions appear to work OK...but photos and INBOX just never stop fetching.
Thanks

The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.

Steve, actually. That's why it's crammed in between John and Doe.

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

Glad we could help!

I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah

Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.
looks like this is an inherent bug on Android.
Any fix?

Before calling it a bug:
Have you checked your settings on outgoing mail? Right servername, port, authentication, security settings and so on?
I haven't heard this one before. That alone is not proof or anything, just that I would suspect with a bug that more people where complaining in these forums.

Oh yes sure did checked my settings , remove account, reboot etc
having looked around for a fix i did noticed many others having the same problem right from G1.
for a while my contacts showed pictures from their facebook accounts. i like to only show contacts on my sim in my contacts list, not everyone on fb. though if i select everyone on fb, then all the people from fb show up except the people on my sim. it's very confusing. it seems like after JB the contacts all lost their pictures completely and were no longer sync'd to fb. i've tried uninstalling the app, completely refreshing the sync amongst other things. i can't figure out what's up.
i get around this using haxsync, which works well. it's a paid app though.
also, this belongs in q&a.

Stop storing contacts on your sim. This is most likely part of the problem.

No one else? Seems silly it worked just weeks ago then stopped.

Gotta understand Google has been having trouble with FB for a long time and its only gonna get worse. As stated above. Haxsync works. Not sure about sim contacts as I have not used a sim to backup contacts in years

Friendcaster for facebook should do it.
Using my google account on a stock p6p I'm getting some duplicate contacts that merge and fix isn't fixing. And it's the same 2 contacts everytime. Anyone had this issue? Possible solution?
I am not sure what your exact issues are but have you tried resolving it on the Contacts desktop webpage, as oppose to the phone?
