Anyone know how to update you contact photos that are linked to fb?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
If you have linked the contacts on The phone with the fb ones manually, it shows.
Syncing alone wont do it
via Legend using XDA-app
Try this
Settings -> Accounts & sync -> tap on the facebook for HTC sense -> tap sync now
SyncMyPix is a really good program for this:

Since rest of the methods don't work as you want them too and removing and re-adding facebook is not the most user-friendly thing to do.
Thanks, syncmypics works.

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 there, I'm also having this Facebook problem - but where do I find the "People" function?
I'm using an Xperia X8. Cheers.
My girlfriend just got a thunderbolt. Unrooted. It seems as if Facebook will not sync with her contacts. Trying to manually link them does nothing unless the contact name exactly matches the Facebook name. Just wondering if there is some secret handshake or whatever to get this to work properly?

Do you have both Facebook the app and HTC's Sense Facebook accounts under Settings > Accounts & Sync? I believe its the Facebook App that syncs contacts
Ya she has them both. I'm sort of at a loss, works perfectly on my incredible then do the exact same thing on her thunderbolt and it just wont link unless she edits her contact names to match Facebook profiles.

it seems the only way i can sync the pics is to do it manually. i havent really checked out the calendar, but i know that the pics don't sync automatically.
I'm having this problem to. If i go to the accounts & sync and choose Facebook for HTC sense it shows the calendar isn't syncing. My friend stream widget hasn't updated since July 2nd. Any ideas?

what rom are you using? if its NRGZ then, it has that problem, and go to that thread: (rad through this entire page, you'll find the answer http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362759&page=168) , I had the same problem, you should find your answer within the last couple of days post....the trick is that you need to sync your contacts with the "facebook for sense" under sync in settings, DON'T DOWNLOAD THE FACEBOOK APP, don't sync with native facebook app....once you have synced the first time with "facebook for sense" under sync (if its not there, you have to add an account, if you don't see "facebook for sense" you have to get the apk and push it to you /system/app") wait for all the contacts to sync and get their pictures...then if you wish you can download the facebook app. if this doesn't work the only way to do it is to do a factory restore and sync facebook, before syncing google. don't sign into google but instead go and setup facbeook for sense first and sync contacts first, then add google account.
I am using stock shipped rom...and i have already facebook app)) butt thank you for help

uninstall Facebook app altogether
if your using stock, you should already have facebook for htc sense in settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...download the facebook app ...
if it doesn't work...factory reset...don't setup google account but again go to settings-->accounts and sync--> add account --> facebook for HTC sense. wait for sync to complete...then setup google account, then download facebook app..
Okay i will try and i will say ))) )) thank you very much bro...

Hi guys I have a Facebook account I used to use but I deactivated it years ago. However it is the best source for keeping my contacts having their preferred picture.
On my vivid I was able to log on to Facebook, sync contacts, and all of their pictures would show up on my contacts in the phone. Then I could deactivate Facebook and the pictures would stay.
On my hox+ I'm unable to do that?? As soon as I deactivate the contacts pictures go away. Anyone know if there's a way I can have both deactivated and their pictures saved?

I'd like to know the answer to this too
Also, when you sync the calender, it disappears when u deactivate, is there a way to make it stay? It's very handy for birthday reminders for friends. Keep missing folks birthdays.
In facebook settings tell it to sync with existing contacts.

I tried that just now. When I was logged in it showed my contacts pictures.as soon as I deactivate they all disappeared..
