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. ?

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.

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
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.

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. THE NAME MATCHES PERFECTLEY.(even when names dont match perfectly... there is one contact for the fb name and one phone contact spelled differently and not linked.) i have done everything you have tried also with no results... im pissed. ive unfriended him and refriended him twice. 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.

Hello, I have a stock z1 compact and in the last 2 months every time I try to access the contacts or make a call the phone or contact app crashes making it a nightmare to make calls.
I have cleaned the cash, reinstated the full phone to factory, nothing works, anyone has a solution for this? Or an idea on why this happens? Is it the sync on LinkedIn and Facebook contacts?
Thanks for the support
Anyone?
No idea, never heard of it.
In any case, try to reset again and only sync google contacts, leave LinkedIn and Facebook away. If it still works, add either Facebook or LinkedIn and check again. If it still works add the third one and you might know the reason.
I there thanks for the idea I tried it yesterday actually and keeps doing the same thing I think I might go for a rom instead of stock. Can I do this having a branded phone?
You can do that, but I still wonder why it happens.
What exactly happens? Do you get the option to submit the data to google?
Which release are you currently running on the phone?
It just appears the damn error message of a app crash saying that the contacts application crashed and asking to close it.I am the latest version. Thanks for your help
Probably it's some contact which has some weird letter/symbol in his address. Maybe you could check all your contacts in gmail, if you synchronize it. But yeah, no idea why this is really happening.
Hehe damn computers! Well Thanks nevertheless for caring very much appreciated
