some contacts missing facebook photos

All has been working fine on my EVO4G running MIKG 3.1 until tonight... I looked at the phone and it said it found some contact links. they looked like ones I had already linked but I linked them again. Now, some of the contacts (ones that need to be relinked), show a blank facebook contact photo. Just the generic silhouette of the face. I unlinked and re-linked and re-sync'd the contacts.. nothing.. some are fine and show the contact photo with the facebook symbol. I checked on my PC to see if maybe the person removed their photo, but it is there.
Any ideas????

Anyone? I just tried syncing using Facebook app. Same issue. some contracts pulled photos and others not. Ideas?

Hey,
in order to get your contact photos to sync you need to use htc sense the app wont do anything man, and if that doesnt work it might be a glitch so try wiping your cache dalvik and flashing the rom again. let me know if it works, but that just might be a bug between your evo and the rom bro,

The app does sync. It adds to my accounts and sync. The app filled in some missing photos which Facebook for sense left blank. I read elsewhere that others have this issue too...

You can try using the app SyncMyPix (I think it's all one word like that, could be wrong). I used it in the past when I had issues on CM7 with Facebook contacts.

Tried that. That works but it added photos to my Google contracts not exchange contacts

The MUST HAVE app for Android 4.0

Since we have today our fully working ICS rom, I would like to share this app
HaxSync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's sync your facebook contacts (Pictures and status updates) with your phone contacts in the same way ICS sync your contacts with google plus (High res contact pictures)
The app it's only 99 cents and IMO it's totally worth it.
BTW: I hold no relationship with the developer of this app, im just a happy customer.
Try it you wont regret.

whats different between this and the official facebook app sync feature?
i thought you were going to say Chrome browser as the must have app

why pay .99 cents when this feature is already free?...

Is it a built-in feature of ICS? Because for me it only syncs Google+ contacts and completely ignores facebook contacts. Pictures don't come up or anything. Neither do their icons show in Handcent SMS

no, it's built into the official facebook app. I guess that app is included in the skyrocket port. you have to go into facebook settings and choose SYNC.
That said, it looks like my contacts (i use Go Contacts) defaults to sync with google+ before it uses facebook for photos.

Yeah man just go on to the development forums and it should be on the first page. You could also search for it. Instructions are all there. There are a couple of bugs, most notably the auto rotation doesn't work. But other than that it works perfectly for most, including me I would suggest reading the entire thread to gain a little insight into what has been going on and to be a little safer with the installation and all that.... GOOD LUCK!!

When I had my Galaxy Nexus back in December I know there was no Facebook sync available for ICS at the time, I don't know if they've updated it back then.
But you can use Friencaster to sync all your contacts and pictures.
This reminds me though, has anyone else noticed there's no People app? Is that a Nexus only app or just missing?

Did I miss a memo?

I have a question, Facebook from the sky rocket ICS port won't let me access the pull down notifications. What I mean is, I'll get a notification, open the pull down in the app, and it shows me what's new but I can't touch it to access it, it does absolutely nothing.
Anyone know of a better app for Facebook?

Imma wait until all the bugs are all ironed out, I'm not that thirsty for Ics like some who will sacrifice bugs and stuff not working just to "have" ics

I've found that touching it about 50 times does the trick lol but it is annoying... Use friendcaster for now, it works great

Does Facebook contact importer work with CM9 beta3?

Has anyone noticed if the facebook sync works with CM( beta 3? or, how about the Sprint VVM app, where when you scroll down, the texts just blurs in to an unreadable screen? Any fixes for these two issues?

VVM, go to the apps sub forum and get the latest version. No redrawing in that version and you can scroll to your heart's content. (read posts 15 & 20 in the thread)
FB sync through the FB app works for AOKP M5 for me. You could also pay $0.99 for Haxsync in the Play Store.

hmm, haxsync? is it better than friendcaster? friends caster imports pics for contacts but all blurred. common issue.

I use the FB app to sync and deal w/ the blurred photos. Haxsync claims to bring in "HQ" photos, but I take that as just non-blurred.

wait, i am using cm9 beta 3 and can not get facebook app to sync the contacts. how are you doing it? are you using a different ROM?

I am using Friend Caster and there is an option to check "Use High Resolution Photos" While they are not perfect they are better than regular.

Google Now - No Appointment/Calendar Event Cards?

My Google Now is not showing any of my calendar events. My "Next Appointment" Card is on.

Has a solution been found? I have the same issue. I thought it might have been a ROM issue, but after trying a few ROMs I still have the same issue. Is there some setting I need to activate within Calendar?

Have you both checked your calendar app that you've got an appointment within the next 7 days?

Yep, that's one of the reasons why I was thinking I've not checked a box somewhere in settings somewhere, but I have been playing around with this for so long that I have no idea what the problem could be

It works for me, do you have a location in your event? I'm not sure when they pop , but I just made a dummy one for 6 pm and it showed up about 530. I can check my settings if you like.

Sharing ur setting will be appreciated
I didn't realise I needed to set locations, but some do have them. I'll go through them and add addresses to the all and see how it goes then.

I'm not sure it makes a difference, but my appts are set up with notifications in the calendar app. I can't help but think a location is required, because the notification is based on whether you need to leave for traffic issues in Google Now. However, the dummy appt I set was located at home, and it popped up.
The GN settings I have are - Card appears for any meeting, and if travel time needed, standard. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your help!
I might try a dummy appt too.
For my settings, I seem to have different options... I have - For any meeting, Only if far away, and In evening for next day. At the moment I only have the first one ticked which I thought would bring up appts regardless of time and travel...

Not sure, but they came packaged with Liquid ROM. Can't see it being the issue coz it hasn't mattered which ROM/ gapps I've flashed.

New Wear Companion App

Looks like it has the Wifi setup stuff in it..
A bit concerned about the needing access to calendar and the ability to email guests... Any idea why it might want that?

Actually, that change comes from an update Google Play Services... (7.3.27 or greater).
