Caller ID showing random facebook pictures

I have no idea what is going on, or why it started, but I've had this issue since I got my Droid 3, and I hoped that when I got my Droid 4, it would stop...
My phone is assigning random facebook pictures to people as their caller ID picture. I will get a phone call from friend A, and it will show the picture of friend B, or some other random facebook picture.
If I assign a picture to a contact on my phone (such as one I took with the camera), if I receive a call it will show the picture correctly, however, if I dial that person it will show some other random facebook picture.
For some people, the picture comes up correctly, but for many it does not.
Certainly there is some cache somewhere I can clear to fix this, right?
If you have FB contacts syncing, the phone will try to auto pair them with your Google contacts.
Mine tries to tie my info that I have in Gmail for my alternative e-mails/numbers with my dad's fb info even though our display names are listed differently(he's in fb as Billy, and my info is under William)
If that's what's wrong to fix it, in contacts go into the contact that is messed up. Hit menu, and look for separate(under more).
Alright, so I am still having this problem, even after uninstalling the facebook apps...
I want to clear my Contacts Storage, but in Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Contacts Storage the "clear data" button is grayed out.
Any way to clear this WITHOUT doing a factory data reset?
Thanks!
Have you tried joining the contacts (I assume they are already joined), then setting the google profile as Default? That will make their name and photo the one you assigned to the google contact. Let me know if that works.

[Q] Whatsapp photos in Contacts?

Whenever I select Whatsapp as the source for the contact photo, it doesn't show a picture.
I know for a fact that the person has a photo in Whatsapp.
Am I doing something wrong here? Missing a setting somewhere, or does it just not work?

Picture Messaging

Hi,
I think the way the note 5 does pic messaging is a bit inconsistent. Sometimes, after selecting a pic I want to send (from the gallery app) it immediately drops the pic into the messaging app and then I just have to type in the recipients name in the top of the message. Often other times, after selecting the pic, I get the attached window pop up asking me to select the recipient.
Thanks
from the pic, when you share, doesn't it first show a list of apps you want to share through?

For me I just get to select the list of apps I want to send it with...I select "Textra" and bam..type in contact name select and send...I haven't had any issues with it over any other phone and it's very consistent.
Yes, it first shows me a list of apps I can attached the pic to. I select the stock messaging app and then that screen pops up that I showed.
Bumping this thread. Anyone else have this issue? I cant seem to fix it.
Thanks

Firefox set image as to Contacts. Bug, or not smart enough?

So earlier today I was attempting to grab an online photo of someone to associate with a contact so I don't accidentally reject the call (I tend to just let people I don't know go to voice mail). So I looked up the number with Firefox/duckduckgo, found the photo I wanted, did a press/hold and the menu pops up. Select 'Set image as' and then selected Contacts.
Contacts then crashes (I tried it twice, with the same result, except the second time it asked to close app or send feedback, vs restart app and send feedback.)
So is this a bug? Or is it me thinking the phone should be smarter than that? I mean is Contacts thinking I'm opening it AS a Contact? And since all it sees is a jpg, it crashes?
This seems like it'd be good functionality. now I wonder if Bixby would look up a photo and put it into a contact for me....

Duplicate contacts problem

Hello, excuse my poor english.
I changed my S7 Edge for a P20 Pro one week ago and I noticed that I have nearly all my contacts in double in the "Contact" tab of the phone. I know that it's because I have the WhatsApp Sync ON but I use Whatsapp a lot and I need to sync my contacts often because I add new ones frequently (so even if I turn the WhatsApp sync OFF, I'd need to turn it ON to add new mobile contacts on my WhatsApp). And even if I turn the sync OFF, how would I make these contacts dissapear now from Contact tab on the phone ? I also tried to "merging duplicate contacts" option, but it just shows "No duplicate contacts".
I didn't have this problem with my S7 Edge and it is annoying. I hope some of you can help me, thanks !
its a easy fix bro! Go to the dialer app and open it up. When its open press the 3 dot more tab, in the right bottom. Now you pick "Display Preferences" and select the source you want to display in the 2nd option called accounts.
