I put the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401560 and I have a problem with displaying images of contacts synced with FB.
All contacts with the FB do not have pictures. Others are displayed correctly.
On the other Rom was not the problem.
Has anyone any idea?

i recently tried that ROM... and the problem wasn't there... did you full wipe? did you wait until the linking notification appeared?

of course
I logged on to FB and pointed sync contacts, as always in the other ROM's.

This happened to me recently too. I suspect it has something to do with the recent fb update. I think I fixed it by uninstalling and then reinstalling the app.

Uninstall FB? or ROM ?
The app, fb.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Unfortunately, there is no change after uninstalling and reinstalling.
I think I will return to VA 1.48 - there was OK
Hmm... yeah, that's annoying. This happened to me coming from a CM mod to BeatMod BlissSense. I did find that over the course of several hours, my contacts ever-so-slowly linked to their facebook profiles along with their pics. But after a day I flashed back to ILWT CM so I didn't explore the issue much. Good luck.
Yes ILWT is a good ROM. I have a backup of the last edition, but I like Sense
-----Edition------
I found a solution. You can use this application http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.nloko.android.syncmypix and to download photos from FB.
Since it's a sense rom, try syncing your fb conatcs via Facebook with Sense
It's a separate thing from the official FB app and after you link them to fb with sense, you'll get your contact pics.
Hope that helps

Rather, I believe that this problem only in the Rom. I returned to VA 1.48 and here without any problem display the FB's photos.
it's a problem with most sense roms. sense has a separate facebook integration. which is why you should atleast try that first.
I've tried various Rom's of Sense and only in that I have seen this problem.

I went to add a Facebook account, and it just takes me to the Facebook app login. Nothing shows up in accounts and sync.

I use syncmypics personally.
That's what I had to resort to. I thought everyone was mentioning that Android 2.1+ had native Facebook sync.
Not to my knowledge.
Um, yes acutally.
EVO's have a Facebook app that is SUPPOSED to sync contacts. But as of late the FB servers have not been syncing anything and it isn't just the rooted devices.
A friend of mine is running a 2.2 rom (NON cm6) off of another android board and he installed this Facebook: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734739 and he said it works.... It's worth a try if you haven't already.

Hi guys,
Does anyone have the issue of photos not updating on the phone with the FB app? My friends change their profile picture on FB but the pix on my phone do not change and or update.
I use HandcentSMS instead of the normal stock and it is annoying to have some contact with no picture (even though they have one) and some with old pix.
Anyone know something about this?
Also what's the difference between the stock FB app and the one on the Market?
Cheers

Okay, so then yes there is a difference. The one in the market is more standalone, the one built in is integrated into the contacts app. The way you can manually link pictures is by going to contacts, opening a contact, and in the upper right hit links, and then select link to facebook profile and it'll come up with a list of your friends.

That is exactly what I did a while back ago; link contacts via the link symbol to FB. My issue is the contact pix not updating when my friends update their profile pix some even show a ? when in fact they do have a pic.
If I select contacts to view my phone list all the pictures that are shown are those that were saved/synced when I first purchased the phone. Since then my friends have changed pix or added one but my phone does not recognize and or sync/update the new images

Ah, yeah they can be glitchy. I have problems on stock and AOSP roms, it's just not very good at keeping them synced. They will eventually. Try clearing your cache, and the app cache for facebook for mytouch.

I guess it is a glitch because I clear the cache's often and there is no change
I've reported it to FB as if they actually did something about these issues...

Yeah, the Facebook app does have problems with keeping the contact pictures synced. I've had a better time getting them to update when I use Cyanoginger 1.1 though, maybe its worth a try?
can anyone tell me why facebook contacts show up but with no pictures? I'm running trinity kernel, would affect fb @ all? Anyone get working MyVerizon app on this build?
You need a custom ROM for contacts to work, and then you have to wait for it to actually then update them (which can take a while)
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT: Or are you on about the app not showing pictures?

I'm running AOKP build 24 and Trinity Kernel. When I was running stock rooted 4.0.4 it worked. It shows the contact just not their photo. I have the fb sync option in the actual fb app
Clear the app data and log in again, seems to do the trick

download haxsync for 99 c, works beautiful
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.

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?
