Is this the remains of the facebook home launcher i tried or is the new updated facebook messanger service.
Check the attachment, the bit i have highlighted in RED appeared when a friend messaged me, and when I click on it it opens the FB messanger app, very similiar to the facebook home launcher. It closed when I tried a SS of it though, and I cant be bothered adb'ing to do it....
Its not a problem, I was just wondering..
this new feature may be disabled in options of FB Messenger app

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
Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

Use quickpic, 100x better gallery and free

Are facebook notifications working for everyone? i recently got my lumia 625 and before i was using android. I always use facebook messenger to chat with people, but it's really hard to do that now since i dont get any notifications and i have to turn on the facebook app everytime to see if i go a message and it's really annoying.
facebook app dont give notification
to get notification add facebook account in account settings and enable facebook messaging (also can enable in settings - application tab - messages)... after that in "Me" just turn available status...
also you can try apps like IM+ (IM+ Pro) or Messenger HD
It shows updating all the time. Any way to get rid of it it's either messenger or Facebook.
What to do
Press the "X" button down...
I'm doing that but it keeps appearing again and again
I have the same problem. It consumption my battery I think.

I uninstalled Messenger and installed Lite. Also installed an older version of Facebook because I got the same popup for Facebook also..
Even chrome.
Same. A couple of weeks ago started with FB, so I've uninstalled it. It had continued with FB lite, messenger and chrome.
"Fixed" it by stopping chrome automatic updates.
Is this related with system webview?
Mine is "Feature for Lite"
I use FB Lite.
I am angry with that **** Even I turned off automatic update in Play Store
Me too!

I'm also having this issue. Facebook Lite or Messenger Lite are updating their files in the background, while Play updates are disabled, and even while I have both disabled/frozen with Titanium backup. How can this be? It's like a virus/trojan.
