When using HTCSENSE for facebook, and linking contacts my contacts have their facebook picture with a little facebook icon in the corner. This annoys me almost as much as the poor quality of photos. I looked around but can't find anything about this. I browsed some of the directories trying to find the facebook image file so I could replace it but no luck. Anyone whos explored the deep abyss they call Sense care to help?

This is helpful.. but not what I meant.
That option is turned off for me already. What I am talking about is when you link a contact to their facebook profile. ( so that their picture gets changed etc) it shows the tiny blue facebook icon which is an annoyance. There must be a way we can find that image in the filesystem and replace it with a transparent image to get rid of it... I just can't locate it.

Ahh... I see what you mean. Don't know if that's possible to be removed as it's tied to facebook, but then again, anything is possible in these forums.

I know, I just stumbled upon these and some of the stuff here is nuts. Loving it though and I am keeping hope that someone will know the trick!
If you go in to people, click the person you want to change picture. Click the Link on the top right. Then you can click on the contact photo, and you have the option to change the photo. Hope this helps.

Get over it. It's tiny.
As far as the quality of the images, even if you upload your own, it'll be bad. That's just how it is.

Thanks, but I know this. The whole point is I want the pictures to sync with facebook but without that little F icon.
Lol @ get over it. What is the point in trying to flame me? I want my phone to be aesthetically pleasing as possible.. thats why I got rid of my bb.
Well syncing it with the actual facebook app doesnt leave the little corner mark, but syncing it without the HTC Sense facebook really sucks, looks like your in a dilemma. If you dont care about the extras you get from HTC Sense facebook you can try the normal one.

I didn't know I could sync with regular facebook. When I removed HTC sense for facebook before it took away any sync capability. Could you explain how you have this set up? I would prefer using the normal facebook app and not the sense one.

Tried this before and broke my stock ROM before I flashed myns. When I uninstalled HTCSense Facebook it stopped syncing contacts and despite having facebook reinstalled I still could not get those two. Are you sure this works? everything I have read is that I would need a third party app like syncmypix, which is why I asked if we can just dump that little facebook icon.

Can you explain how you got this working?
I installed Market Facebook. turned off HTC facebook. When I click the facebook icon in accounts nothing happens.
This happened before on my last rom.
Without HTC sense and just doing it through the facebook app. Your contact names will have to match their facebook extactly
Also the facebook does not update as frequently through
So I cant get the regular android to sync. I click it on the sync menu and nothing pops up. The first time it brought me to the login screen but hasnt done it since even if I remove. googling this and it seems to be a common issue unresolved... so it brings me back to my original question of finding this facebook image in the filesystem and changing it to a transparent png. Any dev whos taken apart sense have any ideas?
I actually would like to see if this is possible as well. Those icons have been annoying me ever since I got my Evo! (release!)
anyone feel like helping? been trying to dig this for a week and can't find any fix.

how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming
I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.

I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..

OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..

Hey there,

For what it matters: Maguro version, latest Rasbeanjelly Rom, Trinity Kernel, latest Facebook Messenger Update.
Been searching to find a solution for weeks now

Hey, renna!
I had the same problem. It seems Facebook Messenger can't handle with special chars as ä, ö, ü, etc... Just temporarily change your password.
Hey renna, y r u using facebook messenger anyway? the facebook app now has messenger built in. Just sayin.

What are your steps you did? Once you download the app you don't even need to open it. As long as you are logged into Facebook (via the official Facebook app) just go to your Accounts in Settings, and press Add account, and then select UberSync. It will then automatically sign in to Facebook, and start syncing after about two minutes. I've never once clicked on the actual app in the app drawer. Give it about ten minutes, and then go to your contacts, and you will see what it did. You may have to "join" some contacts from Facebook to your own manual adds you did, but it works really well when it's all done.

I also WAS a Sync.me user, but I have bad news for us...
For what I read in their official facebook page (wich I can't link here 'cause I have less than 10 posts -.-') they decided to "divide" Sync.me into 2 different apps, one for sync and other for birthdays.
So they launched "Sync.me Birthdays" in the iPhone App Store and now they launched the new Sync.me app for iPhone too and they promise that an Android version will be available soon.
And here are the bad news:
