Contact photos not updating. - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have noticed that in 2.1, the contact photos do not update when myself or my friends linked to Facebook change their photos, as they did in 1.6.
Any solution to this? Or workaround?

Do you have your contacts set to auto sync in the accounts and settings
?

Facebook pics on contacts

So suddenly my contacts that are joined with my facebook friends aren't sharing the pics. Used to be that whenever I would get Call or a text the contacts name would show up with their facebook picture. Now all of a sudden it just shows an android pix. Although the facebook pix will show up in the contacts page. Anyone have any ideas? Im using com rom 2.1 and this high voltage reenergized.
Here is what I do. I use the Max os x address book and sync it to my Google account, and there is an app that sybcs Facebook info with address book. So I sync Facebook and address book, then address book with Google, the Google with the phone. Haha.

There is no option to link photos in the app. Does it do it automatically? Been a few hours since installed and nothing has changed.
Here's a question to all: is this linked account done via the Facebook app or SNS? I noticed personally that pictures would only show up with SNS configured.
How do you set defaults? Been looking around on phone and can't find anything. Also, I sync using facebook so everything isn't doubled up. Is that why the pics aren't linking?
I have the same issue

You can tell the Facebook app to not sync contacts, and tell SNS to sync contacts, and you won't double up. That's been my experience on CR2.1.
Running ComRom 2.1 and have had same problem. SyncMyPix didn't work for me, but I did find a workaround.
I downloaded and installed 'Phonebook' from Market. It is a contact replacement app. I logged into Facebook through the app and it matched my existing contacts and it automatically downloaded their Facebook pictures and replaced all the Contact pictures.
Now when I go back into 'Contacts' all the latest Facebook profile pictures are with the contacts. And the photos also appear for incoming calls and text messages.
Hope that helps.
You gotta go into facebook settings. And then select, "Sync existing contacts with facebook contacts". The names have to be exactly the same as well or else it won't sync automatically. Otherwise you'd just have to link it manually.
is there a way to link contacts in cm7?
Go into market and search "syncmypix"
It takes all the pictures for contacts you have and uploads them to Google contacts

1) Go into your Google contact
2) Select menu -> edit
3) Menu -> join
4) Profit

You are 100% correct. I disable the facebook app from syncing. Then I re-created the SNS facebook sync, and joined my contacts again. Everything shows up.

Facebook contacts not showing..

I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.
