Facebook Profile Picture - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to figure out if it is possible to sync my phone's photo for myself with my Facebook picture like it would do with other contacts
I'm running stock Android 2.1 if that matters

Facebook Contact Pictures sync

Is your N1 syncing your contact's profile photo with their facebook profile?
Mine don't sync. I have to go to edit contact and do it.
N1 does recognize and pair the contacts with facebook profiles..just doesn't sync pictures.
strange!!! I have no problems with this... sync merges Google contacts & Facebook contacts along with the Facebook profile pics... unless there is a Google contact pic...
I have it syncing on some, but not all.
I have found the ones with problems either
A) Don't have a complete name in my phonebook
B) Have a different number in facebook.
Hmm.. quite wierd.
I am seeing a trend...
I was using HTC Sense 2.5 on WM. And all the contact whose photos were synced with facebook by sense 2.5, do not sync with facebook in android. And for some reason, gmail contacts (web, browser version) shows these pictures in contacts, but android does not.
I just deleted a contact's photo in gmail..and android instantly synced it with facebook.
im having this problem tooo! just noticed it today. i cant figure out why it wont sync tho!!....

I find that Facebook only syncs people with first & last name on your contacts list. It doesn't sync only first names. I wish there was a way around that.
That is annoying, even my old blackberry would sync to partial names, and that thing is primitive in comparison.
Noticed a couple of things:
Address book names and facebook contact names have to be the same.
If you have a photo linked to the contact (i.e you synced from another phone to google and pulled the contacts back down) then you often have to specify that the phone uses the facebook profile pic rather than the pic held directly against the contact.
It's a bit of a faff around, and if you delete the pics from the contacts on your gmail account (as someone mentioned above) it should default to the facebook pic assuming there is one for the contact.
<edit> Also ensure you have facebook setup to sync friends into contacts. Facebook app -> Menu -> Settings -> Sync Contacts </edit>

This helped me. Thanks.
I could not add a facebook account directly in "Accounts", but enabling sync in the FB app automatically added it to "Accounts".

Facebook for Android vs HTC

So I'm able to sync my contacts using the Facebook for Android app rather than the HTC version through friendstream. I've heard friendstream uses a lot of battery for some reason.
However, when looking at my messages (sms mms etc) it shows the contacts picture but not my picture from facebook. It just leaves one of those standard silhouettes.
Is there any fix to this? I know the HTC Facebook will link that automatically (even though it's been disappearing and I've had to resync it every so often)
In your contacts (People) you should have a contact card for yourself. Set your picture there and it will show up in your SMS threads.

Thanks for the help, but I wouldn't be able to link that to facebook though, that's just setting a picture. Facebook for HTC automatically links the picture through Facebook. Any way to do this on Facebook for Android? Or should I just be giving up because the Facebook for Android app is severely lacking?

[Q] Facebook photos not showing up in contacts on some Sense ROMs?

When I'm on NFX-Hero, LiquidSense, or Stock ROM, the Facebook photos don't show up at all. I've re-synced w/ Facebook for HTC Sense twice and waited at least 10 minutes, nothing. I've re-linked Facebook friends to their appropriate contact twice, but photos aren't even showing. Is there a way to fix this issue, besides downloading the photos off of FB and setting it as their contact photo?

Contact's photos from Facebook only in stock contacts app visible

Hello everyone,
I have spent a couple of hours now to solve a problem, but I have no ideas anymore.
I let Facebook sync contacts and therefore I get contact photos in my contacts from Facebook (I have no custom contact photos). When I use the stock contacts or phone app, I successfully can see these.
However, when I use a contacts app like for example Rocket Dial (I tried about 5 different ones tho) - I only see 1 or 2 % of these photos. Really most contacts have no photo. When I open a contact that has no photo from within Rocket Dial in order to edit the contact, then of course the contact has it's photo again, because then the stock contacts editor is opened.
Any ideas what I could try or do to get photos back in my contacts in third party contacts apps / dialer?
Thanks for your input,
RURon.
