hi, i wanted to know how can I enable or why my whatsapp is not showing me the pictures of my contacts, I have all my contacts on my google account, none on the phone, and none on the sim card, and a lot of the are linked to facebook, twitter, etc.
and if you look at contacts all of them show the pictures, but in whatsapp only a few show the pictures of the contacts
any solution?
Probably you are not able to see Facebook contact photos in whatsapp. There were allowed to be "pulled" in Sense 3.0 but in Sense above this version they are not shown.
There are few solutions:
1. If you have a rooted phone you can try Photo Unlocker application, sadly, it has been pulled out from the market so you would need to search XDA for it.
2. You can use HaxSync to sync the pictures from Facebook and they would show normally. Alternative app is called Friend Caster.
3. People say there was an update to Whatsapp recently (can't see any on the market to be honest just now) which enables it.
After synchronizing your contacts with facebook, use photounlocker to unlock the restriction on facebook contacts.
1- open app
2- press check, it will ask for root permissions
3- press check again
4- press unlock
Done
Enjoy

Thanks! worked great!
it didn't work for me, I get error msg
Any other solutions?
Thank you very much. i was looking everywhere for this fix.
if on sense, facebook for htc sense is needed and it will synchronise you friends photos from fb
on Aosp you need to manually add a picture to each contsct you have, but this process you do it once in s liftime and whatever the rom you will be using your contacts photo will remain on any google phone
amazing app ... worked like magic thnx

The app worked flawlessly thanks

How do i update contacts that are linked to facebooks profiles pictures in the desire?
some people have updated their profile pictures in facebook but i cant get my desire to recognise the new profle pictures.
I would like see if is possible that when you browse phone book that you see facebook images on contact is this possible? I see images only on contacts which do not have phone contact added...

dont they update automatically when you sync with facebook?
thats what i thought but i couple of my phonebook entries that are linked to facebook contacts still have old profile pics, i was wondering whether there was a way to manually refresh the pictures.
You have to sign out of facebook for htc sense and sign back in.

Im try logout and login but do not help.
Im do next and work:
1.)Go to contact and view it.
2.)Go to "photos" tab.
3.)Click "Link Facebook profile" and select contact from facebook friends
4.)It will sync and update photos wit facebook photos.
I hope that this is good way to do this
Unlink and relink should also work.
Also if you in contact see Link 1 or something like this and not linked then this is reason you can also click on this link 1 and select facebook profile and it will link this contact together...

It doesn't work for me..My friends updated their profile pictures but the contact pics still show the old ones...I tried log out and log in fb again but still not working.
Sorry I should have explained better. Go to settings and then accounts and sync and then go to facebook and select to remove the account and then sign back in. it should update all your contact photos.

Hi,
today I got a notification from HTC Hub indicating that there were 2 new plugins for HTC Sense which are LinkedIn and Picasa.
I chose both to install, LinkedIn installed and I can see it and its nice. However, Picasa downloads but didn't install. Tried again as the notification still were there, but same thing happend again, downloads but never installs. Then the notification vanished!
I tried to find the Picasa Album plugin on HTC hub on both phone and HTCSense.com but never found it!!
Anybody experienced the same?
Does anybody know where HTC Hub downloads the files? I might find Picasa for HTC Sense file there and install it manually.
It would be nice to have the Picasa Album plugin so I do not need any third party app.
Noticed the exact same thing... got linked in but no picasa, and would have prefered to get picasa over linked in.
Yeah i had the same problem, i had two notifications one for the linkedIn and Picasa plug-ins and one for a new widget. I chose to install Picasa as the other two didn't interest me but it never installed and doesn't show up in the gallery as an option. I can't figure out how to get back to that plug-in choice section to try and download it again either
Although sometimes when i go to the HTC hub it shows up briefly saying 'failed to connect to server, try again later' but things still seem to load. Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Hopefully they just pulled it and will have it available again soon
I downloaded the Linkedin app. Now it says "application not found" !!
had the same thing first i thought I downloaded both of them and then LinkedIn only show up in "Account & Sync" whereas Picasa is no where to be found.
also the update notification shows up randomly.
Same thing goes to the "Market" I was on the new Market UI at some point then it jumped back to the normal one
I downloaded the linked, I can see it in my manage apps, but it is not in my app drawer. I cannot open it. I wish HTC would provide some support here!
So I am not the only one facing this problem. Hope this will be fixed soon and pushed by HTC again

David:
I think you cannot find it in app drawer as it is a plugin for HTC Sense UI and not a standalone application for Android.
So you can find the application in Contacts -> Online -> and from here you choose LinkedIn
I don't have it in my HTC Hub. Where should it be?
its not there. I guess HTC pushed it to all and not included in HTC hub online yet.
re: picasa link
I tried to share/upload using picasa via galley but it's buggy, it want's you to log in to your google acct. even that you're logged already. Works fine if logged in.

Thats is something different.
Uploading to Picasa has always been there but the new plugin I think is to view your online albums and see pictures on your phone just like the new LinkedIn for HTC Sense plugin which enables you to see all of your friends and their profiles.

Thanks, it was there! Using it made me realize that the app is completely useless for my purposes. All it did was override my contacts with Linkedin contacts without email addresses, phone numbers, etc. I was hoping for that missing Android Linkedin app which this was not!

Are you sure it override your contacts with LinkedIn? For me what it does it actually good. I choose to see LinkedIn contacts when I open "Contacts" which you can switch off.
It links existing contacts you have in your phone with LinkedIn contacts but for me it didnt override anything!
If you mean it override your contacts, just unlink them and don't link any but still you can see all LinkedIn contacts.

I have actually deleted it as I could not figure out how to unlink. All I want is an app that accesses Linkedin, similar to twitter app, without having any effect on my phone contacts. Thanks again for your help!
Same to me, never been able to find downloaded apps.
I downloaded the LinkedIn app yesterday. When I connected to my LinkedIn account, syncing created new entries for my LinkedIn connections, which I manually had to link to the corresponding phone contacts (no automatic link suggestions). I can now view their LinkedIn profile from their contact card.
While I was in LinkedIn, I added some new people to my network. By the time they'd responded, I could no longer sync with my LinkedIn account. Force close!
I deleted my LinkedIn account, then recreated it. Syncing worked again, but I had to manually link the LinkedIn contacts to existing phone contacts once again.

I had the notification pop up to download both. Downloaded them - neither installed so I tried restarting and can't find either of them. Nor can I get back to the page on HTC Hub to download them from...
Anybody have suggestions on where to download it from?

Even I was befuddled by this. Linkedin didnt seem to install correctly. But it has - it is just an addon/plugin to the People/Contacts app and thats why the linkedin icon does not appear in the all apps page.
This Linkedin plugin allows you to sync your linkedin contacts to your address book - just go to the online directories section of the people app and click on the linkedin icon to login to your linkedin account. It also auto-suggests linking the contacts like Facebook for HTC sense plugin does, just need to give it some time.
Now to go and find out what the picasa update does!!
I did do that but linkedin isn't listed unfortuantely. Is there a URL that can trigger the download link?
Currently when i select a contact in the "People" App, it says they are synced with:
Phone
Phone
Facebook
Facebook For HTC Sense
Firstly, is there anyway to delete the other "Phone" link without having to manually unlinking them?
Secondly, do i need my contacts sync all my contacts with both Facebook & Facebook for HTC Sense to get their facebook display pictures to show up and for facebook widgets to work?
& finally, is there anyway to get all my contacts to sync with google without having to re-add them all to my phone.

You can try contact analyzer which can be found in market. To find duplicate contacts.
For LAST question, you can export all your contact from your people and import them to GOogle, or you can setting up active sync.

I would suggest keeping the facebook for HTC sense sync , I tried not having that and contact pics were all blurry...makes alot of difference when you're getting a call etc.

Nope , you can keep htc sense synced and let normal facebook stay disabled thats what I do now keeps the amount of linked contacts to a minimum.

Trying to add a Facebook account to sync my info with my contacts. Why I go to add the account, the screen just blinks and takes me back to the accounts screen. It wont let me add it. I did it once when the Facebook app asked me if I wanted to, but cannot figure out how to get that option again on the facebook app.
I just rooted my phone and did not apply a custom rom or anything.
You can't add a Facebook account through accounts and sync.. it isn't built in unless you install a rom that has it enabled.

Google has removed facebook sync so the only way to get it back is through a custom rom now.
Actually you don't have to change the ROM. Instead you can just use this app to sync your facebook contacts. Found it a couple of days ago and have been using it without any problems. Works like a charms for me. The only downside: You don't get the facebook icon but instead the icon of the app.

But that's not syncing through the app, which is what the OP is trying to do

He is trying to do that yes. But as he is not going to succeed I was showing him an alternative to installing another ROM. I think that is legitimate.

I agree, I've been using HaxSync for a while now and love it. It does have a few little quirks with name matching, but it's easy enough to remedy by linking the contact to the correct account in Facebook, plus the dev seems to work pretty quickly on updates and bug fixes.
Here's a question which I think is on point with the thread.
I have a custom ROM on my GNEX which has Facebook Sync enabled (Winner00 ROM). But it doesn't seem to sync everyone, and certainly not with high resolution images. I also installed the Facebook sync app that so many have suggested, but that also doesn't sync everyone, nor does it sync high res images.
In total, only about 20 or so of my phone contacts are synced with their FB pictures.
Anyone know how to better tweak this? Or, what I'm doing wrong??
Thanks!

I've not used a ROM that has Facebook syncing enabled, but I'm guessing it's the same situation as with HaxSync. My guess is that the name of the contact in your phone is different somehow than their name on Facebook so this is how you join them so the pics sync:
1. Open the People app and find the contact you want to join
2. Opent the contact then tap Menu>Edit
3. Then tap Menu>Join
4. Match the person to their Facebook name and select it
5. Tap done
The contact will now be joined to their facebook picture and the picture will sync.
As I said, I'm not positive that this is the same with Facebook syncing as all I have used is HaxSync but I'm guessing it's the same.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi there,
for anyone using Go SMS pro on their HOX, are you contacts pictures showing up at all?
For some reason, none of my contacts pictures show up in my contact list on go sms, even though they show up on the stock app. I've turned it on in the settings and even ticked in the facebook settings that I want the pictures displayed but nothing at all. Its not just fb pics that arent showing, nothing at all. Any help would be appreciated.
You have to either use photos from your phone or download an app like HAXSYNC and upload the photos from there... For whatever reason Facebook for Sense photos don't show in GoSMS or other 3rd party apps...
U have to go thru your contacts one by one and modify the photos either choosing a photo in your gallery of the facebook photo from HAXSYNC account...
Giant pain in the ass but it works...
So I take it this is a Sense 4 issue then? Cause I never had that problem with other versions of sense
The pics all show up fine on my go sms. Didnt have to install any other apps

did HaxSync work properly with your FB account?
I have about 300+ contacts on fb, and HaxSync only syncs about 120 of them. The official fb app syncs all of the contacts which have FB (ca. 280)...
I had all my contact pics in GoSMS fine until the 1.82 update on my att hox. They won't sync now. It's annoying. I'd rather not install a 3rd party app especially since it was working on the phone once.
Edit- so, I cleared fb Data, removed it with es file explorer. Reinstalled from market and no go.
