Contacts widget keeps reseting photos to Facebook photos

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.

Launcher Pro People Widget question

Facebook sync question. I have searched.
On a Sense Rom Facebook syncs all the latest Facebook pictures to my contacts just fine. Also on an AOSP Rom Facebook will sync all the contact pictures just fine. BuT... When I use the Launcher Pro people widget the widget will not sync the pictures. If I use the Sense people widget the pictures sync just fine. I have set up the the Launcher Pro to sync with Facebook and the Friends Widget works great.
Any ideas?

Anyone?

I don't think the people widget in lp has anything to do with Facebook. Set up Facebook for HTC sense under accounts in settings to sync as little as possible, and that should sync up your fb contact pics.
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
Edit - I just reread your post, and I think I completely missed what your issue was. If the pics are already synced, I don't know why the people widget isn't showing them, or even if its supposed to.

it doesn't work perfectly, but it does work, at least on mine. or, at least the last time i used it it did. i've been using adw for about 2 weeks now, so i don't remember exactly
anyhoo,
sync your facebook contacts, then start the widget. or, if you already have the widget up after a facebook sync, try using the refresh option on the widget. that should work for at least some of your contacts. not sure why it doesn't work for all of them...

does anyone know how to make the people widget behave like the sense people widget(when pressing on a contact to direct call him)?

Messages Widget?

Hi
Can't get my email to appear in the messages widget on motorola defy (only had this phone for a week). Only get a notfication image of new mail in the status bar. Is the messages widget only for texts?? or should you be able to read your new mail via the widget?
Thanks

Do you use Gmail app from Google? You have to add your e-mail account to Motoblur. Also disable original Gmail sync or you'll get notifications twice I think.
[edit] That's if you use a ROM with Motoblur, I don't know if there's e-mail support in deblur ROMs.

Hi
I thought I had added it, my google account appears in the accounts as " other account" below the motorblur account with all the twitter, facebook etc.
Have I got it in the right place?
( you can tell this is my first smartphone )

Do you have Accounts or other apps from Motoblur like Social Networking? Stock Motorola software is different for various regions and might come with or without social features called as Motoblur. If you don't have it then Messages widget works with regular text messages only, I think.

No I don't have accounts for any of those social networks like twitter etc.
So I suppose I am stuck? And won't be able to have the e-mail displayed within the widget?
Thank you very much for your replies and help though.
I've figured it out and now get email in the messages widget. I hadn't realized there are TWO seperate accounts one for G-mail and one for E-mail. It's quite confusing for a smartphone virgin, but what a cool toy

[Q] Miui Question

Is there a possibilty for Integrated Facebook and twitter for better photo contact syncing ?

I believe no, as the issue is with Google compressing the images...

thanks would be awesome tho

Actually, if you go to your Facebook app, settings, you can set how you want it to sync. I have FB pics as avatars for all my contacts that are on FB, too, because of the sync.
