Ever since flashing JM6, I've had problems with the Messaging app. After syncing Facebook contacts, using either adding a regular account un Settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account or using the official Facebook app, all contacts properly sync with the photos.
I can confirm this in the Phone/Dialer/Contacts app and all my contacts are properly synced with photos. However, in the Messaging app, all icons are blank/have the head icon.
Anyone else have this issue/know a fix?
Bump.
Update:
I installed Handcent SMS and it displays the contact pictures properly, synced from Facebook. I don't know what's wrong with my Messaging app. Still the same in Roto-JME.
I tried clearing the cache for the Messaging app but it only cleared the changes I made to the settings. Anyone?
i use syncmypix from the market to see my facebook contacs.

Thanks, I've previously used syncmypix on my first Android phone, however this isn't what I want. There's obviously a problem because it used to work now it doesn't.
I don't want to install another app just to download contact photos, the Facebook app already does it for me. Handcent SMS displays them correctly, and besides, I want the photos to be on a separate contact profile -- "Facebook", I don't want them merged to my Gmail as they constantly change anyway.
The only problem is that the Messaging app doesn't display them anymore, ever since flashing JM6 and still doesn't after flashing Roto-JME.
Did you merge your google contacts with your facebook ones? Usually it will choose the facebook pic by default over the google one but sometimes it will not and you need to edit the contact and tell it to make the facebook part of the contact the primary one. Then it will always choose the FB contact pic and even update as your FB contact changes their profile pic. This is for JM6 for mee too.

Thanks for the reply.
By merge do you mean "sync with existing contacts"? Yes if that.
I tried what you said, even setting the Facebook profile as default over the Google one leads to nothing. Still no pic. It's weird because the contacts/phone/dialer has the pictures correctly, and so does Handcent, but not the default Messaging app.
Even the default Messaging app does not having pictures for Google contacts with pictures. Everything is blank.
Bump. Anyone?
did you fin the solution for this?
EDIT : I tried syncmypix, I think it works for me. except the colorize widget has problems with Messaging. Its showing Gray and White
something wich manages high resolution photos?
i used syncmypix on old phones, wich seems stopped to be supported on october 2012, and i don't know wich resolution syncs..
i have read of haxsync, but seems it has to be always active... isn't there something wich syncs with gmail, then you can delete it?
i couldn't see, but doesn't xperia z dialer support big picture ? do i need to use full screen caller or hd caller (whatever the name is, i bought it some time ago)
The starred in Android contacts on my Gmail account syncs in HD all the others in SD.... WEIRD!!!! They have to fix it ASAP!

doesn't it sync "on the fly"? meaning, the sync remains if i delete haxsync? i've read it drains quite a bit of battery... and do pics appear large in dialer?
use this app called UberSync Facebook contact sync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
It allows you to sync the recent profile picture from your friend's profile and you can change the size of the picture to small, medium,large. My Arc S shows full screen when I get a call from my friends :thumbup: just set the photo size to large. Also the app can be set to auto sync or you can manually sync. No worries about battery drain!
Press thanks if I helped

I am using the Sync.ME application from Google Play Store. It's kinda awesome. It is able to find some pictures from social networks like fb even to a contacts that haven't shared friends details with me

i'm trying this for know, do you know if there will be a notification at the end? cause i started sync, but didn't show me any status bar o countdown or percentage, it just said "sync started", how can i now if it will finish?
@alfiabaram, i'm going to try that too thanks
Oops! I forgot to mention this - you need to rename the contact to their Facebook name (be very specific about the first & last name) then it will fetch their assign their picture to the contact. Use ' run manual scan' option. There's no notification after the scan is finished >.<

ok i've tried with it, but it isn't so "ergonomic", no notifies, no info,and i couldn't make manual links to facebook profile.... and when i tried to delete it, i've lost all my pix
would like to try sync.me but yesterday developers put it out of the market cause it has to be rewritten (or similar)
now i've tried facebook contact picture sync by sbla games
it has anything i need seems, it has manual link (you can save and load links) for people with different names
it syncs then you can delete the app, it takes big photos,and is quite fast (you can "assist the process) so i think for anyone who doesn't need repeated syncs (don't know if it handles it, didn't search)
btw thanks for your help
it seems quite good
Go to Gmail Contacts and put HD pictures to your contacts, then put the contacts you use the most to the favourites (starred in Android) let it sync with Google and finally clear the cache and data from your "contacts" app, then sync again with google your contacts again and the starred contacts will sync in HD!

still not perfect, but thanks for the hint...
It's better to keep this thread in Q/A, since the OP has asked a question.

Just did this and everything worked out Thanks ... though there should be a fix from Google ... silly Google.
Guys, in 4.2.2 update they fixed it, now all the contacts are synced in HD, you have to open each contact once though to force it to download the full picture.
Sync.me
Is anyone else having issues with Sync.me sending out spam to contacts when syncing?
Ubersync for FB doesn't work anymore, anyone know of another app to sync FB contact pics?
Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?

I just setup my z3c yesterday. All my contacts are synced with their photos, in the contacts app. However when I receive a call, I get a blank photo. Others seeing same behaviour or???
Nope seeing photos of all when receiving calls

My experience is that the caller ID photo is not displayed when it's from Facebook or Twitter. It only displays a photo when manually selected. I
That probably explains it. Most of the pictures are FB or LinkedIn. What a fail. It works properly on my Moto X.

Solution found, with a bonus. I deleted the "Xperia with Facebook" sync plug-in, and turned off contact sync inside FB. I then downloaded two apps from the Play Store I've used before - Uber Sync and Facebook Calendar Sync. These both work perfectly. Uber Sync has the added bonus of high-res FB contact pictures (the built in FB contact sync is low res). Caller ID now pics up the high res photos when I receive a call.
Thank you!

Where do you delete "Xperia with Facebook" sync plug-in though?

It's in the Accounts section in Settings, *if* you already set it up.

For those, who still looking for solution - after phone update to 23.0.1.A.5.77 facebook photos shown as caller id picture by default, without any tricks or 3rd party apps
Sorry for waking up the old thread, but this issue came back (at least to me) again, after the upgrade to 23.1.A.0.726. Anybody else facing this issue? Ideas?
I recommend Sync.Me app for Facebook / Linkedin contact photo sync :good:
Thanks, but i prefer the original solution, without 3rd party programs...
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution on how to specify which contactlist is to be shown in the telephone app (NOT the contacts app)
right now, my S10 displays ALL contacts, from all sources (google accounts, simcard, phone contacts) together and thats just a mess....
I want it to show my contacts from my google account only...
So is it possible to select a specific contactlist to display only?
please keep in mind, that I am talking about the contacts in the telephone app, not the "contacts" app.
thanks for your help
oh, no one with this problem?
I also have this issue. On Huawei's EMUI it was possible to choose the contact list including groups when using Google.
Same problem but no solution... ):
I'm using the Groups-Icon in the contact list to filter. But it's kinda annoying. It's faster to search for the specific contact.

thank you for your screenshots, which actually show how to create a new contact and where to store it.
But my problem is, that I want the telephone app to show contacts from one specific source only...
For example: show / display contacts from gmail-account X only...
