Does anyone else that use Motorola Connect and the chrome extension to text from PC have some contacts showing up with photo and name whereas others have no photo and just the number, even when they're in your contacts? My contacts sync with Google, of course, and some messages in the extension look great - have the person's name and photo that I have in Google Contacts. Others though just show up with the phone number and no name, and no contact photo. Any word on this? Is it just buggy or something that can be done so that any one who texts me that's also in my contacts also show the name and contact photo?

Hi,
I'm having this weird thing: I just upgraded my SGS to froyo 2.2 , but i forgot to backup my contacts list. So, when i looked on my contacts list and it was empty and i had no one to blame but me...
However, after a while i noticed that most of my contact list is somewhere in my phonebook - i can see someone's details by typing his phone number. I can view his name and even his gmail account by clicking on the "add to contacts" option (that appears after you type numbers) but i can't see him in the contacts folder.
Maybe it basic and i'm missing something - i don't know, but it's really irritating...
I've tried everything i can think of: Some of that was to sync my gmail account (and facebook). I imprted every phone number from SD and SIM: But i still can't see my contacts numbers via "contacts" (only via "phone" by typing the phone numbers)
Anyone has an idea what is wrong? Or how to add the data that is out there in "phone" to "contacts"?
Thanks
Hey all,
I updated my phone to 2.3.3 via Samsung Kies and did a factory reset.
So, I synced my contacts from Facebook via adding the SNS account, everything worked fine but I needed to add phone numbers to some of the contacts. Considering you can't edit Facebook contacts, I ended up creating a new contact to phone with the number and the name exactly the same and then using the 'Join Contact' to merge them.
The problem #1:
When I click new message, I can click the 'contacts' button and everyone with numbers are listed. I go to an untouched Facebook contact (With a number assigned to it automatically from Facebook) and click add but it still has an empty field saying 'to'. If I add one of my merged contacts, the number is displayed and it works fine.
#2
When a Facebook contact text messages me, only their number shows up, like its an unknown number which mean I have no idea who it is even though I have them as a contact. I go to that persons contact profile and the number that is assigned to them is identical, so why doesn't it show the contacts name?
If I go to the contact and swipe my finger to the left so it 'messages' them, in the 'To' field is their number only, no contact name.
Last but not least, no contact pictures show up in my Messages, even though they have Facebook pictures assigned to the contact
Can anyone help at all or at least point me in the right direction to solving this myth?
Thanks a lot everyone for helping me.
I can't seem to find a good way to sync my facebook contacts. The regular facebook app doesn't support high-res photos, nick names (such as mom and dad), or manually assigning a contact to a facebook profile.
Other apps I've used have randomly synced EVERYONE to my contacts, I've added people from school, work, etc over the last few years, this is over 300 people!
The best I've used is "Friends Sync", which properly synced about 95% of my contacts, nicknames and all (except of course my mom, who I have as "mom"), but best of all it's high resolution, which looks amazing in any full screen caller ID app. It is lacking the ability to manually assign a profile to a contact, and if you also have regular facebook synced (so I could get those missing 5% contacts), the separate low resolution photo will take priority over "friends sync" and show that when someone calls, meaning you need to disable regular facebook sync if you want high res pictures to show.
Any suggestions or input would be very appreciated.
Have you tried SyncMyPics? This has a settings option to download highres.

Using the facebook app you can sync the contacts, and then merge them with your existing contact (with the nickname of your choice). This doesn't solve your hi-res picture problem, but it did work for me.
You would probably even be able to merge your contacts that you created using Friendsync, just go into the contact that you created (not the one the app did) and choose to edit. Once on the edit screen, press the menu key and it will give you the option to "Join" contact. Join contacts together, and voila!
Lemme know if this works, if not, sorry.
Excellent! At first I wasn't sure what to join the contact to, being that I can't just transfer a single Facebook contact to my contacts. Then I tried making a second contact with the same name as on facebook. Facebook synced to this second contact i made being that it had the same name. I was then able to join my original contact (with the nickname) with the new facebook synced contact, and now it shows the nickname contact with all facebook info + high res picture.
Thanks!!
I have no Facebook or google+ , a friend sent me a text and his picture auto applied to his name in my contacts automatically. I've tried to duplicate it using my picture on my contact name of myself and tried auto applying the pic to a friend's contact list with my name but pic empty. Anyone know how this is done. The person who's pic was applied to my contact of them automatically doesn't know how they did it. I have 80 contacts and never seen this before. BTW note 4 rocks!!!!!!!!
It's more than likely a picture associated with his Google account and you've received an email from him before. It will automatically load his Google picture into your contacts if his email is in your contact listing for him.
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.
