I just did the facebook syncing to the htc sense contacts and im wondering is there any way to keep the default contact picture instead of it pulling up a facebook picture?
You should be able to unlink the google contact with the facebook contact under the people app. Just tap the chain in the upper right hand corner of the contact. I think it would default to the picture and not facebook.
Or another thought is to edit the contact and click the camera/picture and choose the picture you want to use.

Currently, I have the People widget set to display my Favorites contacts. I have set a caller ID picture for each contact. The pictures I use is 320x320 res. When I first add the contacts to the widget, all the pictures were very clear and sharp looking. But after some time, the pictures become pixelated and maintains this look until I manually go into each contact and reassign the picture. The pixelated picture will eventually show up again, and it remains pixelated when the person calls me, looks horrible.
Is this a known issue and there are no fix? Or is there a specific resolution that I should be setting my caller id picture as? TIA
Nvm, figured it out. Turns out when you sync your contacts with gmail, gmail resizes all of you contact pictures down to 96x96. So when the people widget displays it, the 96x96 pictures gets enlarged and thus becomes pixelated.
Solution:
Settings>Accounts & Sync
Turn ON Auto Sync briefly
Click on your google account
Uncheck syncing for contacts
Turn OFF auto sync
Reassign your pictures for whoever that's going to be in the people widget
Anyone having trouble getting HTC sense facebook contacts pix to sync? Most of my pix showed up but the problem is, if it isn't saved as a "facebook for htc sense photo" with the facebook "f" in the lower left corner... then the pix look horrible on the people widget.
I am trying to manually set up the contacts that aren't using the HTC Fb phont but when I do, it just leaves it blank... anyone having this issue?
I have 2/5 contacts in my people widget with a clear pic (and blue FB logo in lower left), 2/5 have pixilated pictures, and 1 has no picture.
I forced a 'FB for Sense' sync, I'll report back if that helped.
That did it - my pictures all look fine now
Hey everyone,
OK so you know if you use the "Buddies Now" widget, or click someone's picture in the contacts list? It displays that little quick toolbar to call, text, email, facebook etc.
If I click a contact on the "Buddies Now" widget, it displays their Facebook status, but if I click them in contact's list, it does not. I'm pretty sure it used to, but I can't figure out why it would have changed. All my contacts are correctly linked.
Can anybody confirm this behaviour? It would take only seconds of your time, thanks.

I have a "view profile" button at the bottom of the contact, but only because I added Facebook as an account to my dialer/contacts app.
Quickly do me a favour - find a contact that you have that "View profile" link with. Now click their picture at the top left. Does it show their status in the little pop-up menu?
not sure if this helps or not, but some contacts in my phone book if I click on the picture it gives me options such as text call email etc and some come up with a facebook icon which takes me direct to their page.
I dont see status updates and if I am honest I think I may have mine set up wrong somehow as well as some of my fb contacts have no pics at all and others have old pictures so it aint like up to date. Goodness knows why not like! :-(
Ref the buddies thing, sorry I dont have that app.

No. It gives me the popup menu to call/email/msg etc., and that has a facebook link on it as well.
I have two email accounts that I receive push notifications for (hotmail, gmail).
When I open my email shortcut that I placed on my home screen, it defaults to the gmail account. Is there any way to make a shortcut that goes directly to the combined view (to show mail from both accounts in the same view)? I find it slightly annoying to have to switch back and forth to view my unread emails.
BTW: I'm running Xtreme's Senseless ICS ROM
Thanks
FIXED - Combined inbox view

It shouldn't be that hard to figure out but it is. Why is there no clear cut way to show the combined inbox? Luckily another thread explained it...You have to create a widget and the widget can be selected to show the combined view, this will give you consistent combined view when you click on it. I just upgraded to CyanogenMod 4.2.2 Jellybean and it has the same deficiency. You'd think that there would be an option somewhere. Find a Google developer to fix this please.
Hello guys, is it possible to make Sony top contacts widget show only the people in my favorite group. The description of the program say its possible but i can't find such option anywhere . I don't want it to show my recent + my favorites .
you should log in online example using your facebook account to log in, once log in it will take a minute or two to load your recent contacts, then you can manage it, just uncheck the contacts you dont want to load on widget.
just click the settings button on top contact widget then click the contact, there you can set now which contact you want to reflect on your widget.
