Just wondering if anyone has a problem with the Facebook contact pictures not loading and if anyone knows a fix. Thanks in advance.

It depends on the ROM, some AOSP built ROMs have a bug which causes problems with FB syncing. Have you made sure that syncing with existing/all contacts is selected in the FB app settings?
I am on cm6 final it was just working like the other day then I accidentally clear the data in contacts and now its gone and doesn't load back? Yes syncying is enabled.

As it got tiring to relink my gmail contacts to fb just to have their contact photos after a wipe (rom flashing addiction)...especially with some asop builds having sync problems with the fb app..i've given up using that approach. Instead, i use Syncmypix. It syncs ur fb pics to ur gmail contacts uploading the pics to gmail. Hence, the next time u download ur gmail contacts after a wipe, you pull down their pics as well
Thanks works great

Gave my Bionic to my girlfriend, and Facebook will not fully sync photos even after a fresh install of both Liberty and Eclipse. When I view a contact, I get the link to their profile, but their contact photo isn't updated most of the time. I'd say less than 1/3 of the contacts actually had photos updated, and those who did didn't have their photo show up in the messaging app! Did Facebook change some sync preferences or is something else going on here?

Works fine for me, on stock rooted 901.
Not sure what ICS did, but my contact photos are a no-show on GoSms. The photos aren't actually save to the phone, they are pulled from each contact's facebook acount via facebook sync. It will show contact photos from contacts that have photos saved on the phone, but not for the contacts that rely on the facebook images. No issues in the actual people app, or the stock messager, just on GoSMS. Anyone else having issues? Possible fix? I tried uninstalling and re-installing it, no dice.
Handcent too. Havent figured out why and can't suggest anything at this point cause nothing I've tried has worked
Edit: Guess it's just not showing facebook contact photos. Google contact photos are showing up. Stock messaging shows all pics though...hmm. still looking..
Ha. Handcent just "Updated" and now I don't get Google contact pics either, only phone pics now..
Yeah it seems to be an issued with the sense 3.6s contacts data base and third party apps.

Help! Same Issue!
I did a software update and my photos under my phonebook are updated from facebook but my handcent sms photos are not showing up at all anymore. I tried downloading GoSMS and the same error. Anyone have a solution to this? I miss seeing the pictures when I text people!
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's mostly is for AOSP or CM9 builds, but it works for Sense.
Cool. I'm actually four the problem. On Gingerbread, the vivid had its own unique facebook app, "facebook for htc sense ", but on ics, it useful the standard facebook app, and apparently the Facebook app doesn't let 3rd party apps have access to contacts. Why? Because Zuckerberg sucks probably. But anyway I fired the issue by deleting my accounts info on the Facebook app and installing friendcaster pro. I have friendcaster are so it was no big deal. The drawback is I can no longer use my cool friendstream widget.

What are those? I don't know what either of those are, do you mind explaining to me how those would fix my issue with handcent contact pictures not showing up?

Friendcaster has the ability to take photos from your Facebook and put them on your phone. I think that is what he was trying to say.

So the friendcaster is just an alternate to facebook. The issue I am having is that the facebook pictures show up in the phonebook but in handcent sms since I've updated they don't show at all . I was wondering if there was a way to fix THAT issue Thanks in advance
Yes using friendcaster instead will fix that issue. For me same issue, facebook pictures show in phonebook, not in gosms. Delete your Facebook account information and install friendcaster, log in and after sense links all your contacts you'll be good

Confirmed. Facebook's app has always been a steamy PoS
It is crap. I had the paid version of friendcaster already from using cyanogenmod on my captivate. The facebook app wouldn't sync photos at all on it and even my phonebook had no photos so from googleing i found friendcaster fixes the problem. The free version gets the job done but the paid version removes ads so I went ahead and paid for it.

I was having this problem even with HTC's contact widget. I wiped my facebook app data, then used titanium backup to uninstall the app. I reinstalled the app via google play and synced all contacts and the problem was fixed.

I can confirm that having both Facebook and Friendcaster accounts didn't show contact pictures, but removing the Facebook account entirely fixed the issue in a minute or two. Thanks for the advice!
Has anyone tried HaxSync? I use it but I don't use GoSMS.

I have confirmed that that using friend caster does work to get the contact pics on go sms. Thanks for making this thread. U can get the paid verision of friend caster on 4shared for free. But this is awesome lol.

Yeah and you get a cool ics look with friendcaster

That was brilliant!! I took off the Facebook account, kept Friendcaster and boom! My contact pictures are back in GoSMS... Thank you so much for the help and a great thread!!
Apart from the obvious of not installing facebook in the first place. I have tried everything from changing the picture in contacts to clearing data in the app! I think its sense Facebook sync issue tbh, surely I'm not the only one?

Are you using the facebook camera? On the stock camera there is also an "upload" feature under settings, might want to check if that's the problem..
Yeah there is no way to stop the photo sync. If you so much as log in it'll replace all your pictures with Facebook photos and if your using third party messengers then you won't get pictures at all. Your best bet is to use friendcaster instead

Actually you can if it has not replaced your photos with facebook photos right after you sign on to facebook for the first time go to menu settings accounts and sync then go to the facebook account and uncheck all the sync boxs and it wont replace your photos also it will not put status updates next to the contacts you should be able to delete your facebook account under accounts and sync and start over with the above options I am talking about the phone menu not facebook

Thanks guys I was an old user of friendcaster premium so in the end I just got rid of book and reverted back to this. It has come a long way in the 6 months since I last used it. After my next rom update I will have a go @ the method in jerry's post. Thanks again for the help and input

So I'm switching from the Galaxy S3 and I want to know is there a way to remove facebook photos from
your gallery without signing out of facebook? I've tried to disable sync and other things but nothing seems to work.
Right now I just logged out of facebook for the moment oh and hopefully there's a way to do it without rooting, want
to enjoy the phone a little while before I root.
Thanks in advance ...
Not sure. But in the fb options there's a setting to disable syncing photos contacts and something else. Maybe just disabling sync isn't enough try to find the sync photos and disable that. Best I can do sorry if it doesn't help

For the record, the phone cannot be enjoyed until rooted
Remove Facebook for HTC sense with titanium and your done, not sure what ill effects it has. the share link still works in the gallery
Ive never been a huge fan of the HTC gallery. I have an app called QuickPic and its works great. by far the best gallery app i have used
