Not sure about the discrepancy. But FB on HTC Sense does a better job than Facebook sync. FB on HTC Sense stores contact photo in separate DB thus retaining resolution while Facebook sync stores photo in default Android contact DB and resolution will be degraded after gmail 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!!....
You can go for this, worx nice

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".
I just got a HTC Hero for my wife, and she wants to link only the contacts in her gmail to facebook. every time I attempt to link a specific person to facebook, it syncs all of her facebook contacts into her contact list. She does not want every single facebook user in her contacts, she only wants to link those existing contacts to facebook.
is this possible?
Go to accounts and sync in the settings un check sync all contacts you might have to remove then add the account but after that you should be fine

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?
Not sure if this is the right thread to post/ask this, but I installed the Musketeers 3.6 on my Sensation XL yesterday, and it looks good, but somehow I can't see the Facebook birthdays and events in my HTC calendar. In the HTC stock roms I was always used to seeing these, as you can see more calendars in the HTC calendar. This is my first custom ROM on a HTC phone so I wondered if it would have something to do with the development of the Musketeers rom or if it's an oversight on my account.
I have:
- checked the Facebook box in the calendars to use in the calendar app
- Facebook app installed
- Facebook calendar syncing with the device (according to sync settings)
- Facebook contacts linked with Google contacts (however birthdays do not show up on the contact sheet of each contact)
- rebooted several times
Anyone any tips?
After a Facebook update I had to login again into Facebook and give HTC Sense permission again, then all of a sudden the Facebook events and birthdays appear again in my HTC Calendar. I'm a happy camper again.
I am a bit puzzled with the People (contacts app) and what I do need to sync.
I only have my regular contacts showing in my Phonebook (have hidden Twitter-FB), but I have linked those that have FB profiles with the profiles in order to have their pics showing.
In the HTC One Settings--> Account & Sync ---> Facebook, there are three options: Calendar, Contacts and Live Feed
I understand what Calendar is and I have it off but not sure about the other two.
What is Contacts about ? In order to have my contacts updating their Photos and their status do I have to turn this on?
And what is the Live Feed sync? I don't think it has to do with Blinkfeed. So then what?
Is this the "Updates" panel that exists for each of my contacts?
Any help would be appreciated.
No one?
Is it so obvious and I'm missing it?
Contacts - syncs Facebook contacts to your phone contacts (photos, email addresses, etc.)
Live feed - Add the Facebook feed to the HTC Sense Facebook widget, probably BlinkFeed, etc.

I don't think that it does to Blinkfeed as I have it off and I still get FB updates in Blinkfeed.
I also have it off for Contacts, but I've seen that when I open the People app if I wait for a small amount of time statuses are updates.
That's why I was confused.
