Hey guys,
Recently I have been experiancing some problems with the synching of contacts through Facebook to my Evo, specifically the picture aspect of it. Out of about 100 or so contacts on my phone, only about 10 actually have their up to date facebook picture as the contact icon. Everyone that I want with the picture is linked to facebook, yet their picture still doesnt show. I can see their status's and even their photo albums, but still no contact picture. Anyone know the answer?
I think its a app called syncmypix heard that works well

You could always manually switch their picture though edit contact to the facebook one. This may take too much of your time but it should work. Unless of course you already tried that.

Hi,
I came across problem with caller id photo quality is poor. It is blurry because stretched up.
This happen when you sync with Google Contact, because your original high-res caller id photo is replaced with Google Contact 96x96 size.
Is this still happening with Desire?

Noone is using Google contacts with photo having this issue?
I am having this problem. I think it only happens when you use the camera to take a photo when editing contacts. If you choose a photo instead of opening the camera to take a new photo, you will have the option to crop the photo and the resolution seems much better. I just tried it last night and it seems to work.
Later edit:
When you link it to the Google account, it scales it down to a very bad resolution.
it also happens when you link your contacts with facebook accounts

Ugh, this is not good. I just went over to the google forums, and see that this issue has been open for a long, long time.
Has anyone found any workarounds, especially for using the FB sync problem with Caller Id Photos?
I also have this problem, only on a Hero. The problem occurred when I flashed a 2.1 ROM on it. Sometimes the photos are blurry, and sometimes they disappear completely, replaced by the generic photo.
It seems to change when I connect/disconnect from wifi, but not every time.
Just thought I'd add the info, even though it's not on a Desire.
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
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

PLEASE HELP
Hi you guys,
i love my arc very much but one thing is pissing me off.
Every time i open up my contacts, it takes for ever for them to show up or when i go into an contact it takes forever.
I have synct my contacts with Facebook so i can have the fancy pictures. (perhaps thats the problem)
Is there a way to disable this so i can just get the pictures and not all the profile stuff too?
Or is it something complete diffrent?
Phone is upto date...
thx for your help
Mine is perfectly fine, every contact has a nice contact pic that I set myself.
Maybe it is the facebook stuff slowing it, I dont use any of that rubbish.
No problems here.. Got facebook inside xperia fully synced.. Are your contacts stored on the phone or in google? Do you have a task kilter running on auto? How many contacts do you have? Are you using the stock dialer and contacts app. ?

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.
