Hi. I tried "full screen caller id" and "pigeon for mobile", but i didn't trusted those programs. Do you know any program, when i take a call from someone, facebook picture will shown on phone screen. It is not must be full screen, it can be small. Important is facebook contacts picture.
I just founded the program. The name is "Google Contact Sync". You can update your gmail contact list photos with facebook contact list photos. When someone call you, you will see facebook picture. That's niceeee.

Before I got my desire I sorted out my Google contact just right and added lovely edited pictures, mostly from Facebook. They all synced fine. However, after linking said contacts with Facebook it uses that picture instead. Some people have awful pictures, so I click the link on the top right of the contact, and then click the picture on the left and select the Google picture.
Job done, or so I thought. It then later reverts to Facebook. Does anyone else have this problem? Any fixes?
I have no fix for this but if anyone also knows how to only sync specific Facebook contacts and get rid of others that I don't want clustering up my phone that would also be great
This is one thing that I hate Android and Google.
Why can't they implement a good way, crisp and nice contact photo?
Look at Google Contacts from GMail, the photo contact is bloody ugly in terms of image quality. And the resolution is small.
I just cannot believe this, that after 2 - 3 years, the Android google contacts is awful.
I am proudly show Android to people, make them say "Wow" ... but I shamely hide showing them the contact photo. When I got a call, the photo is damn blurry.
Is this a storage issue? No!
Network speed issue when syncing over the air? Probably! But why not add a way to select custom picture from phone and mark it to be NOT OVERIDDEN when [email protected]
And what's that automatic contacts addition on GMail! Duplicate contacts!
Then came HTC trying to do Facebook integration and whatnot, bloody mess up with linking contact, photo not shown.
I spent some hours to sort this out, and finally gave up. I accept that this is one of the weakness of Android ... contact photo is awful.
People screamed already since long ago, but no fix from Google.

That is another issue with this Facebook intergration. I don't need all the people on FB on some of the phones contact list.
I have a fix of sorts for the contact pictures. Goto the Facebook sync settings, and uncheck 'Sync contacts'. Syncing Facebook no longer changes contact pictures! Not sure how it will effect Facebook once new people are added though.

Settings, Accounts & Sync, Facebook for HTC Sense
I think the low res photo problem is an HTC dialer problem. the contact photos looked fine on my Milestone.
i have the same issue, everytime i sync with my pc it changes the contactpicture to the one from facebook.
i have automatic sync deactivated. so after every sync with my pc, i have to set all the pictures again, and i get tired of if.
no solution for that problem? i dont know why they let you choose a picture, and after a sync its overwriting your setting again. it should be somehow protected, after a manual set of the picture.
i am very new to android, so maybe somebody else knows.
my pics have been fine i think that the facebook intergration is a usefull feature but when u click the pic choose phone instead of the other options
I've had a contact for myself in Gmail for years. This way I can just type my first name and email stuff to my work, or home, or whatever.
The People app lists a contact up at the top of the list with my name and calls it "My contact card". I would love to be able to link it to my normal Gmail contact but it doesn't give me any options to.
Is there any value to me duplicating all my info by hand into the "My contact card"? What does that even do for me?
It allows you to send "My Contact Card" to another person, which of course can also be done with your Google contact info. Oh and it also shows your picture in SMS and MMS chat threads. if there is anything else i cant think of it, maybe if you lost your phone somebody honest could contact you ....
I just went through the whole mess of linking my google and facebook contacts. I'd like to use Facebook as their default contact picture, but the Galaxy always chooses the Google Contact picture as default. Is there a way to select either Google or Facebook picture for a particular contact?
Right now, the only way to to get their FB pic to show is by deleting the Google picture... but doing this 1 contact at a time gets a bit annoying.
Any tips?
Thanks
Hi guys. I am loving my ZenWatch. The only issue I'm having is a blank contact photo for incoming calls. Does Android Wear only display Google+ contact photos? Most of my contacts have a Facebook contact photo. Of course the picture is displayed properly on my HTC One M8 phone, but on my watch it's always blank. Is there any way to correct this?

HTC have tended to use their own contact system on top of stock Android (linking contacts together, pulling photos from various sources). However, this data extra isn't saved to your Google contacts (except for some META data in contact notes).
I'm assuming that Wear gets its info from your Gmail contact details, so you need to have photos stored in there. I'm guessing slightly here, but when I moved from an HTC One to a Nexus 5 it was the largest sacrifice of leaving HTC. I had to manually add photos to all of my Google contacts (although there are some desktop utilities that can do it for you).
In short, if a contact is a Google+ Member, it will use that photo, otherwise it will use the photo stored in your Gmail account's contact entry (I think).
I know it's a pain, but the desktop utility I used asked for my Facebook login, Gmail login and then listed all of my contacts on both. I could link them together, press go and it pulled all of the Facebook photos and stored them with the Google account.
You only really have to do it once, and once it's done it's done. The plus side is that you can choose what photos you use for people, and you're not confused if you've got a friend that changes their profile pic several times a day.
You could do it manually on the desktop by logging into Gmail, selecting the contacts section, opening a Contact and adding a photo. I needed to do this for a couple, since their FB profile pics were too weird.
I'm guessing bits here, but I think I'm fairly spot on. Others may have quicker/easier ways of doing this, but I can dig out the app if you like. If this doesn't make sense, let me know since I'm typing in a hurry. I did like the Account merging facilities in HTC.
HaxSync
I found a very easy way to fix this. I installed HaxSync from the Play Store and this amazing app solved the blank contact photo for incoming calls on my smartwatch. I'm sure it's way easier than manually assigning pictures to the contacts. I'm a very happy camper.

I've noticed that mine will display the generic contact photo for a second or 2 after I receive a call. The saved contact photo shows up after about the 2nd ring or so. If yours is operating the same as mine, perhaps you're just answering the phone before the photo is sent to the watch.
I have my Google contacts linked with my Facebook contacts, so their Facebook profile pictures are also their contact pictures. I just started using Verizon Message+ for texting due to it having Wi-Fi texting, but it only shows contact pictures if I have a picture set on the Google contact and not just via the linked Facebook contact. Is there way for it show the contact pictures that are coming from the linked Facebook contacts?
