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?

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
So when I started using my phone I was thrilled that it took my gmail contacts and the pictures I had linked to said contacts, automatically into my phone. Especially because with the picasa face finding feature, that can then automatically add pictures to your gmail contacts, it just worked very easily.
However, I recently started using twitter and for some reason the phone decided to replace a lot of my contacts pictures with their twitter pictures, which in some cases is just the default blank twitter profile egg thing. This is very annoying and I can't seem to get it to go back to the gmail image, even if I'm not displaying twitter accounts in my contacts list.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried turning off the sync contacts setting in your Twitter account and resyncing your gmail one?
tried that, no good
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?
I continue to have the problem where the Facebook profile pictures for all of my linked contacts in my Favorite group, which also happen to be the default group of the People widget on my home screen, keep disappearing like the user has no picture. It seems that anytime I link a contact with both Facebook and Google accounts, the Google picture overrides the Facebook picture, which for the ones that keep disappearing look to have no Google picture. Then when I go into any setting on my phone that is supposed to show a Facebook profile picture, it is blank, but when I go directly into the Facebook app, their picture shows! I've now also noticed that my Google+ profile picture is blank, when it used to show up in Contacts and on the drop down setting menu User Card.
I can't count how many times I've hard reset, but every time, eventually, the pictures start to disappear and it is random and not always the same people. I'm using the stock OS on the Verizon network. As you can see from the images, the photos that don't sync hop around. Sometimes I see everyones, sometimes no ones, but almost always there is someone's picture that doesn't show up.
Facebook 1 shows the picture of a contact missing.
Facebook 2 shows that person's picture, but a different person's picture is missing. As you can see from the timestamp, they are 2 hours apart.
Facebook 3 is the Linked Contact information for the user that can't be seen in #2.
Facebook 4 is when I go to tag that person from a photo and post to Facebook, and you can see that everyone's pictures show up.

FB sync has been an issue on android for a long time ever since Google removed the code for syncing with FB du to their privacy policies. I have heard of a few apps that force the sync but in the end as a Google OS I have a feeling google will always over ride it.
I have had similar issues and finally gave up trying to solve them and downloaded sync.me from the market. Works perfectly and now I don't have to worry about it.
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.
