This question is similar to this one. How can I hide my facebook/google plus pictures.
Note that when I go to accounts and settings and I uncheck sync pictures it does not work. They pictures are still there.
Sorry my for terrible English!

Hi,
I recently started using the HTC contacts widget and already hit trouble.
I did a search for anything related to "contacts" and "widget" but I found no threads describing this problem.
- I have all my contacts stored as Google contacts (with photos). Some of my contacts have their facebook account linked to them.
- Photos I selected for ALL my contacts are Google photos.
- I created a new group (called Speed Dial) and included all the people I wanted to show in the contacts widget.
And now for the problem... I added about 10 people to the widget, some of them have a facebook account linked some of them don't. When I first added them all the appropriate Google photos were shown (although they were blurry but I could live with that).
However, anytime I sync my contacts or restart the phone ALL the photos are reset to Facebook photos. Not only for the contacts included in contacts widget but for ALL contacts that have a facebook account linked to them.
Is this a bug, a feature or just me being stupid and missing some fundamentals?
Does anyone have a tip or an advice?
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT: If this is just another buggy HTC widget then I have one more question
Is there a nice, good looking contacts widget for Desire? What do you guys use?
I've experienced the same and would prefer the photo I choose to appear instead of the facebook one. A friend of mine has his cat as his facebook contact photo and this keeps coming up on my phone. If anyone has some suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.
As we all know the unresolved low resolution contact photos bug still exists in Android, even after 2+ years. By this I mean if you sync your contacts with Google then you only get the 75x75 pixel contact photo show up when you call/get called by someone, all pixellated and horrible.
I found a workaround for this somewhere on XDA which works - create a new "phone" contact with a nice high res pic for each person, and then link it to your Google contact, selecting the high res picture as the default.
Unfortunately I didn't set up my Facebook for Sense yet. If I do this now, will the phone overwrite my preference for the "phone contact" picture with a Facebook picture? Meaning I would have to go through each contact again, selecting the "phone contact" pic? I don't have time to go through all these again, I'd rather not bother with Facebook for Sense...
I don't know for sure, since my Facebook for Sense is all setup, but I'm pretty sure it will overwrite it when you sync with it, yes. I changed some of my contact pictures from their Facebook pics to some other ones, but next time I sync'd Facebook it went back to the Facebook pics.
I got my DHD for Xmas, and the snafu with the photos is unbelievable.
Not only my phone WON'T remember that I have chosen a mobile/google photo for a contact, and instead reverts to fB, but also the fact that it uses a low-res pic is not simply a bug - it's idiotic. The funny thing is that for a while, at least for a specific contact, it kept a nice high-res photo...
Argh!
I had a question about photo syncing in ICS
is it like iphone where any picture is synced to my google photos (or picasa)
or is the only way to have google plus installed and enable instant upload
i have 'sync google photos' checked in account settings
but all it seems to do is clutter my gallery with pictures it PULLS from picasa/google photo
and not the other way around (sends photos i took online)
is this true?
You can turn on auto upload in G+, and that should do what I think you're asking for.
I know you can do it with G +
My q was is Google Plus even NEEDED, or is gallery sync built in like iCloud
With my Nexus S, Gallery sync is included without Google+, but you still need PicasaWeb.
Gallery will still get "cluttered" with Picasa photos (auto-download is synced) and auto-upload isn't possible (unlike with G+), you have to manually "share" with your Picasa via the Gallery -> Share menu.
Don't know how ICS handles, I would assume similarly.
Is there any way to hide your Facebook photo albums that automatically get sync'd to your stock phone gallery. I want facebook to keep the photos for my contacts but not fill my whole phone gallery app with facebook photo albums. Any one figure this out?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Go to settings, accounts, Facebook, and turn off the Gallery sync. That should do it.
So I was having a problem syncing my FB events with my Google calendar and upon fixing it, I somehow unsynced my FB photos. The albums show up with no images. There's no option for photos in settings> accounts> FB and gallery options won't allow me to select FB. Also, if I select all the FB albums there is no option to delete! I would like to get the images synced or at least remove the albums. Any help is appreciated.
