Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the Facebook synchronisation of the facebook inside xperia feature. When I connect my contacts on the phone with my facebook contacts, their corresponding user pictures aren't downloaded.. The profile information of facebook is integrated into the phonebook but no user pictures appear. I tried deleting data of the phonebook and also every facebook related app but nothing happens.. Any ideas?
log out and then log in..
Buddy I've had exactly the same problem as you and it's an absolute bummer but thankfully a guy over in the thread I posted has been an absolute legend and pointed me in the direction of the app called Facebook contact-sync and it works like a dream!

Hi. Is there any way I could unsync or remove my facebook phonebook contacts from ny phone dialer. Half of them are inaccurate and the other half I don't call at all..

try to remove your fb account from the phone, maybe it works
go to People > Menu > View. untick facebook contacts.

Hi. Thanks for the replies but in my people app, the Facebook is already unticked. I doubt it lies in people as the unwanted phonebook does not appear in peoples.. I dont want to remove Facebook entirely as I still want it in HTC sense.

I've the same issue as well.
All i did was to uninstall Facebook for HTC Sense, remove Facebook application and walla, all my contacts went unsynced.
Since i needed Facebook,i reinstalled from Market but this time round,i ensured i did not sync both phone contacts with Facebook contacts.
Hope this works for you,cheers!

Ok.. but won't this prevent my people app to stop linking with Facebook and friend stream can't be used as well?

Yup,you're right.
It will stop linking the contacts from Facebook as well as Friends Stream.
Hope this helped you on the issue.
Cheers.

I think you can use Titanium Backup to back it up (I'm not sure). Or you can adb pull the HtcFacebook.apk from /system/app, push it back when you need it.

Hi, i have one biiig problem... I cant update/sync my contacts with TimeScape or SyncMyPix... it only sync contacts without contact picture, but contacts which have a picture NOT... can somebody help me please?
SyncMyPix says that "download failed" for every contact with the contact picture...
disable the smart match feature on syncmypix and do it manually
I did it and can sync them and view the pics on timescape/contacts
I have this too. What happened. It was working before

I have an xt910 running on the latest EU version and I am facing a problem. I have some of my contacts linked with their Facebook so their photo shows when they call me. The first time I linked them everything was ok and their pics was shown correctly. But when someone updated their pic it showed it as blanc. Now none of my contacts has a pic displayed regardless if it is a simple Facebook contact or a linked one. I have the latest Facebook app from the market. I think it has something to do with the folder which the Android stores those pics and I want to delete it to see if it will force the update. Does anyone knows where they are stored or has any suggestions about the matter;

It was easy to force update of Facebook contacts on wp7.. Not so easy on Android..
I'm interested in a way to force it besides using an app which is free on goggler play, which messed up my contacts by attaching the wrong image to the wrong person..
Sorry, this is my first Android phone.. Previously on wp7, blackberry and Nokia 5800..

Go into config/aplications/manage apps/... and clear the contacts app cache, this may solve the black pics.
Thanks

I just cleared data for anything with "contacts" in the name, and your contacts will resync.
I have Facebook and friend caster pro installed. Friend caster syncs HQ pics when setup correctly and has kept them up to date for me.

I use contact-sync from the market. It's really awesome
Sent from my DeathSCYTHE using xda premium
May be a noob question, but a friend of mine has the Razr Maxx and in her Handcent conversation list it shows their Facebook pics. But my SGS: II is only showing the pics linked to their Google account, not their Facebook account. How can I link their conversation/contact pic to their FB pic? Is that possible on the SGS II? I can't find the solution
try hanxsync (paid) or fb contact sync. These programs sync the fb pictures to the right contacts.
Thanks but I couldn't locate either of those in the market :-/

It's "Haxsync" and "Facebook contact sync"
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Haxsync lags and crashes the People app. I do not recommend it. Friendcaster is a facebook notification program, but it has a very good contact syncing feature and is free.
friends sync also works good

I use handcent with the original Facebook app and my pics sync. It reads the pic from the contacts so that's all u need. I had to mess with Facebook app a bit by clearing the app data and uninstalling and then reinstalling. But now that I have it , it works without a problem. It's a pain but it does work.

I did this, cleared data and reinstalled and and for some reason it still didn't work, so what I did was just remove the pic I had set for the contact and it imported their Facebook pic.
Thanks for the help everyone!

This this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&hl=en
In conjunction with getting rid of the god-awful Facebook app and using your Browser (which is quicker, less of a battery drain and doesn't scan your text messages!)
HD contact photos on Play Store, that app fixes blurry contact pics
None of these apps sync with facebook I dont. Have the pictures on my phone to do it manually
There is an option for fb
i use Facebook contact sync by danut chereches. it pulls 720*720 images and links it to your contacts. it can also set how often to refresh the info as well. you can set the pic size if u want as well...
it has a nice feature that links the contacts based on fb notes that are attached to you phone contacts when you first linked it via facebook's app. so it's practically automatic.
