My contacts are synced with my facebook, so i see the facebook pictures, but whenever i get a message from a person, and i want to reply, it takes the facebook phone number (which is missing the country code).
Is there anyway to sync with facebook but without the phone numbers?
Screenshot attached so you can see what i mean.
No one has this bug?
There is a sync option in Facebook not to sync with phonebook.
Would be helpfull if you would tell me where that option is?

Maybe you need to update your Facebook app?

How do i update contacts that are linked to facebooks profiles pictures in the desire?
some people have updated their profile pictures in facebook but i cant get my desire to recognise the new profle pictures.
I would like see if is possible that when you browse phone book that you see facebook images on contact is this possible? I see images only on contacts which do not have phone contact added...

dont they update automatically when you sync with facebook?
thats what i thought but i couple of my phonebook entries that are linked to facebook contacts still have old profile pics, i was wondering whether there was a way to manually refresh the pictures.
You have to sign out of facebook for htc sense and sign back in.

Im try logout and login but do not help.
Im do next and work:
1.)Go to contact and view it.
2.)Go to "photos" tab.
3.)Click "Link Facebook profile" and select contact from facebook friends
4.)It will sync and update photos wit facebook photos.
I hope that this is good way to do this
Unlink and relink should also work.
Also if you in contact see Link 1 or something like this and not linked then this is reason you can also click on this link 1 and select facebook profile and it will link this contact together...

It doesn't work for me..My friends updated their profile pictures but the contact pics still show the old ones...I tried log out and log in fb again but still not working.
Sorry I should have explained better. Go to settings and then accounts and sync and then go to facebook and select to remove the account and then sign back in. it should update all your contact photos.

Thanks so much, it worked...xD
Anyone else having this problem?
I've been able to add the 'Facebook for HTC Sense' but when I go to 'Add account', the Android Facebook app shows up but selecting doesn't do anything?
I have the same problem. Go to add a account, but selecting it does nothing. It's therefore not updating my contact pictures from Facebook anymore.....
Anyone help?
Duplicate Post.
Did you install the update for the Android version from the market by any chance?

Yes why?
The same problem for me. What is it supposed to do? "Facebook for HTC Sense" works well and there is a separate Facebook App. I don't recall seeing it in this list before I upgraded.

"Facebook for HTC Sense" does that. Do you have it enabled?

Yes, and it does sync, but the linked FB pictures stay the same.
I can't remember about any updates.....
Do you have the Contact "linked" with their Facebook account?

Yup... It did sync originally, but the same picture remains even if their FB prof pic has changed since...
The only thing I can think that I've done is removed the FB (non sense) from the accounts and sync list. Trying to add it back in doesn't work. Facebook highlights, but no options appear.....
Arse.
just do it in the app itself. when i tap it in mine after a hard reset, it opens the app.

It works for me. I've never opened Facebook in the Sync Settings, just the HTC one. You could try unlinking it all and re-linking it.
I've tried unlinking and relinking but it still doesn't change the picture. It updates the status and events within the contact, but its almost like there is a block on updating the photo....
Not a massive deal, but its just irritating me now!
Have you tried unlinking and re-linking a particular contact? If it works, do the rest. A right pain in the neck but worth it, if it works.

Yes, I've tried it on a couple of different contacts that have the FB link and have updated their photo since first sync, but no joy....
I've noticed some friends photos aren't updating, some others are though. One is stuck on their profile photo he used in March (now different) but another changed the other day.
Their Status Updates are updating though. Weird!
Currently when i select a contact in the "People" App, it says they are synced with:
Phone
Phone
Facebook
Facebook For HTC Sense
Firstly, is there anyway to delete the other "Phone" link without having to manually unlinking them?
Secondly, do i need my contacts sync all my contacts with both Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense to get their facebook display pictures to show up and for facebook widgets to work?
& finally, is there anyway to get all my contacts to sync with google without having to re-add them all to my phone.

You can try contact analyzer which can be found in market. To find duplicate contacts.
For LAST question, you can export all your contact from your people and import them to GOogle, or you can setting up active sync.

I would suggest keeping the facebook for HTC sense sync , I tried not having that and contact pics were all blurry...makes alot of difference when you're getting a call etc.

Nope , you can keep htc sense synced and let normal facebook stay disabled thats what I do now keeps the amount of linked contacts to a minimum.

Hi, after i got my new HTC One X (The old one had Display problem)
I can't find Facebook for HTC in Accounts & Synchronisation?!
Only the normal Facebook.
Setting the preferences back and Delete all accounts doesn't work.
How to get it back?
So completely stock and a hard reset done.
Firmware is 1.28??
to be honest no idea at the moment
In the friendsstream app....., is it there??
no worries about that.
since ICS, htc integrate (linked) their facebook for htc with original facebook app (katana).
just sign in and it will showing up on friendstream widget or app.
Pictures of some of my FB contacts don't show on People. Anything wrong I'm doing?

yes, but then when uploading a photo through gallery "share" with Facebook for HTC Sense the upload fails at 100% (every time).
on a probably unrelated note, installation of LinkedIn for HTC Sense from HTC Hub fails too

Most probably the contact is not completely sync the picture yet. It happens to mine too, after awhile the picture will appeared, no worry
Actually every since Sense 3.5, the Facebook For HTCSense is no where to be seen in the Account. Everything is done via official FB, but you still hv the function of uploading a picture via FB for HTCSense, and it works for me everything. Benefit of this is it allows you to tag ppl in picture but the official FB lack of this function
Kudos to HTC Sense

Same for me! I had to re-link some of my contacts manually...
It took at least 30mins.
Login and Passwords
In response to enyaj, may not help the OP.
Wow I have been having the same problem for some time now (FB for HTC Sense not linking up profile pics with contacts), and my wifes phone would always error on photo uploads) figured out that I changed the FB password awhile back to prevent a possible hacking video issue. If you change your password on FB and use FB for HTC Sense, you must go into: Menu> Settings> Acctounts & Sync. Then delete your FB for HTC Sense account. Then just add account (bottom of screen) FB for HTC Sense and login with the correct email and password. Bam all my contacts pictures sync'd with their FB profile pics, status updates and such are working also. Hope this helps.
I got the same issue .. and after googleing .. I found out that I have to unistall Facebook update ..delete my FB account from Account$Syncing in the settings .. and make a restart,, then add My FB again in Account&Syncing ..
hi, i wanted to know how can I enable or why my whatsapp is not showing me the pictures of my contacts, I have all my contacts on my google account, none on the phone, and none on the sim card, and a lot of the are linked to facebook, twitter, etc.
and if you look at contacts all of them show the pictures, but in whatsapp only a few show the pictures of the contacts
any solution?
Probably you are not able to see Facebook contact photos in whatsapp. There were allowed to be "pulled" in Sense 3.0 but in Sense above this version they are not shown.
There are few solutions:
1. If you have a rooted phone you can try Photo Unlocker application, sadly, it has been pulled out from the market so you would need to search XDA for it.
2. You can use HaxSync to sync the pictures from Facebook and they would show normally. Alternative app is called Friend Caster.
3. People say there was an update to Whatsapp recently (can't see any on the market to be honest just now) which enables it.
After synchronizing your contacts with facebook, use photounlocker to unlock the restriction on facebook contacts.
1- open app
2- press check, it will ask for root permissions
3- press check again
4- press unlock
Done
Enjoy

Thank you very much. i was looking everywhere for this fix.
if on sense, facebook for htc sense is needed and it will synchronise you friends photos from fb
on Aosp you need to manually add a picture to each contsct you have, but this process you do it once in s liftime and whatever the rom you will be using your contacts photo will remain on any google phone
amazing app ... worked like magic thnx

The app worked flawlessly thanks
