So I've noticed anyone who I've manually assigned a picture to, in my phone has the same picture assigned to them in my Gmail contacts. Now there are a lot of contacts in my phone that I have a photo for assigned by Facebook, is there anyway to assign all those pictures to the contacts in Gmail without doing it manually?

I linked almost all of my contacts with their respective Facebook accounts, which means that their profile pictures and birthdays will be stored on my phone. When I sms say Contact A, his picture from Facebook comes up correctly on the left of his name.
However when Contact A calls me the Facebook picture of say Contact H comes up instead. Even contacts without any linked profiles or any pictures turn up with arbitrary contact pictures instead. I find this predicament highly annoying. Prior to linking Facebook accounts, none of my contacts had profile pictures in my phone.
Can anyone help me out here please?
Hi i've a problem.
I insert some image in my contacts in the phone(x10 mini pro) but when i sync the contacts with gmail the picture doesn't sync with contacts in gmail.
I try the viceversa, if i gave a picture to a contact in gmail, when i sync I see that image in the cell phone.
Any ideas?
I've noticed that sometimes newly added pictures take a while to show up in Gmail, but they seem to turn up eventually - It's possible that it does a text-only sync first, then syncs the pictures later
I had all my contacts set up and their facebook pictures were on their phone number. Now I let my friend sign into his facebook on my phone and then after all my contacts lost their facebook pictures. I then logged back in and synced and their pictures are not back. I removed the account and then resynced it and their pictures are in contacts under facebook, but not under address book. How can I sync them all from facebook to contacts without doing it individually? And is there a way that I can have it setup so that if other people login to facebook on my phone that it doesn't erase all my stuff?
Thanks.
I have looked far and wide for a solution for this but can't seem to find one ..
I have contact pictures for my contacts that I have chosen and assigned to my contacts manually and are stored as the Google contact picture, I have an issue with the facebook app when it syncs a facebook profile picture update the application forces the contacts default picture to be the facebook picture.
I don't want it to do this, it can change the facebook linked contact picture but why does it have to change the contacts default picture?? Is there some way this can be blocked or stopped from within Android contacts??
This has been prevalent since before I can remember with the facebook app and sync so I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or solutions??
Surely submitting a bug to facebook is not the solution as we SHOULD be able to control and/or lock portions of our contacts details..
When you first time, install the facebook app doesn't it asks about syncing?
If I'm right, it asks like sync with all contacts, don't sync, sync with existing contacts or so .. like that.
I usually selects "Do not sync" and it will not be synced.
But I want to link the FB contacts to my Google Contacts .. just don't want it messing up the default contact picture..
I have all of my contacts stored in gmail contacts online.
In the course of trying to tidy up contacts on my phone, deleting duplicate/unnecessary info and 'joining' multiple accounts (mostly gmail, facebook and whatsapp) I had a bit of a Homer Simpson moment managed to delete all of my contacts (D'Oh!!).
Fortunately, as I said above I have them in gmail contacts online and had also exported them to my SD card as a vcard and so have managed to get them back (albeit having to tidy them up again).
Here's the thing though, when I go to the Contacts menu item 'Contacts to display' the contacts show when All Contacts or Gmail account are selected, but when I select Phone contacts in 'Contacts to display' the list is empty.
How do I move/copy my gmail contacts so that they are held in the actual phone memory and displayed if I opt to display Phone contacts only (i.e. no longer link to my gmail contacts)?
Cheers in advance,
Rich
I think what you need to is to sync your contact again. Contact to display is only show if your phone have a contact that is available in your gmail contact only.
copy contacts to phone only

I think you've misunderstood my original question. I have got the contacts visible when I view all contacts or view gmail contacts, but there is an option in the contacts menu to view contacts on phone only (i.e. not those stored in gmail contacts). When I use that option I don't see any of my contacts. Therefore, what I need to be able to do is copy the contacts across from gmail contacts so they are visible in the phone contacts only view, but I can't figure out how to copy them across to the phone.
Never had to do it on either my s2 or s3 before. I did do it on my old HTC via a menu option along the lines of 'Copy contacts to phone' but there isn't a menu option like that on the s3 unless I'm missing something obvious.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers.
