If we have enabled the FB sync on a G1. Is it a known fact that the profile pictures don't update? Mine originally synced all pictures a few months ago when I finally transitioned into eclair, but i've noticed all the pics are the same from my very first sync, no matter which eclair ROM i'm running. I've even hit "remove facebook data" but it doesn't clear contact pictures, maybe because those pics have synced with Google since then? Anyone that does have 100% working FB sync on their G1, id greatly appreciate to know your setup, or any tips and tricks to manually update the pics. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

This may not be the correct place, but i'm going to ask anyway.
Does anybody know if activesync has any sort of logs on the CDMA Hero that are available to look through. I've having issues with loosing contact photos on sync. The photos go to the server fine on first sync, but on the following sync they are removed from the phone (stay on server).
Anyway, i've tested everything i can on the server side (Kerio Connect 7 patch 2, if your curious) and i thought i'd start looking at the phone side of things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Active Sync is Microsoft's sync software and I'm pretty positive it wouldn't work with Android. Gmail takes care of syncing information (Gmail, Contacts, etc). To get thumbnail pictures for your Contacts, this is managed by HTC's Facebook sync that's on the phone. I don't know what else I can tell you.
OK.. so i come across a second hero that i want to keep stock... I was going thru it and adding things when i tried to sync facebook i noticed the contacts did not sync... the updates work and what not.. and my contact card was updated.. but contacts appear in contact list.. Any help would be appreciated..
EDIT..before i get flamed i have searched XDA. havent really found a solid answer or anything that worked
If I remember the stock people app correctly you'll need to click link inside of any contact that you want to link to facebook.
I know i can do it that way...but at one point in time it would import my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone... i would have their emails, phone numbers, etc.. just by syncing facebook... i have heard s few people say this will not work with 2.1 bc something is wrong with facebook and the phone communicating... still trying to figure this out
thats the only way I know how to do it,on cupcake it was automatic as long as you set up the contact to sync when you put it in your contact list originally. I think they took a step backwards in that aspect when the did the update.
almost makes me want to downgrade..lol...i really miss that feature...
The Facebook contact sync should work just fine. They didn't remove that feature in 2.1.
Try deleting the cache and data in your Contacts, People, and Facebook apps. Go into Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications and then scroll down and find Contacts Storage. Open it and Delete cache and data. Then do the same in People and any Facebook ones too.
!!!Warning -- This will delete all the contacts from your phone, so make sure they are all linked to Google before you do this!!!
Afterward, it will take a few minutes for all the contacts to be re-synced/re-added back to your phone, but this may fix the issues you're having and get your Facebook ones in there now.
Hi,
i store my contacts at my google acc. But i feel like i miss everything if i dont get the newest facebook profile pictures of my contacts straight to my phone asap !
The Problem is, i came with an fresh new phone, link my google account and want to synch. (google contacts because i think its the best way, **** yea google!) Until now its fine, but as soon as i link my fb profile too, my phonebook is exploding. now i get the latest pictures and adresses etc, but they do not merge with the contacts from google. At least not automatically.
Now i have the contact with this old, ****ty, not so glamourous picture but with the up-to-date phone numbre and the same contact with the wanted, new photo, but without any numbre, because facebook is read only.. wierd. help!
Hello. I have a problem with contact pictures on Mini. Just yesterday I had all my contacts organized and merged. And everyone had their pictures synced from skype, and other apps. Then I wanted to update from CM7 RC5.2 to CM7 RC5.4. Of course I did`n want to lose all my organized contacts so I backed them up with MyPhoneExplorer. After I updated to RC5.4 I restored all my contacts. Then I noticed that I have to merge all my contacts again. That wouldn`t be a problem, but then I noticed that there are no contact pictures anymore. Well just for 3 people from over 40 have pictures.
I have tried to sync all applications and nothing changed. After I noticed that when I view my contacts on MyPhoneExplorer, every contact have their image as it should be. But my phone for some reason doesn`t want to show them (yes, I have enabled to show contact pictures).
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks.
P.S. Sorry I wrote a big mess here but I`m half asleep.
same
same thing happens to me..hoping for a fix or an explanation.but still.squad's works are awesome!
For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the Gallery to sync my Google & Facebook photos. I'm infuriated at the moment.
In the FB app, I have the app settings set to sync photos. I also have sync photos selected in Google. I can see my Google photos in "Photos", but not in Gallery.
What the heck have I done wrong?
Coming from an S5, which had this feature, I was similarly disappointed to find that the S6/Edge abandoned Gallery sync with Facebook and Picassa.
From what I can tell, there is nothing you can do to restore this. The sync just isn't there anymore.
I actually spent about an hour on the phone with VZW yesterday. It appears it is a bug. The gentleman I talked to was going to take it up the chain there.
