I can tell you now, I miss facebook for htc sense when it used to ACTUALLY WORK, my contact pics aren't syncing, the facebook for android is sh*tty compared to what it used to be, this is more a rant than anything cuz I doubt it's fixable by a dev

it syncs for all my contacts, except my profile photo.
Ditto. You have to have your Facebook contacts viewable in the people app, then it will suggest links, or you can link them manually. Once linked, contact pics are synced.
it won't even sync fb contacts with 3rd party msg apps anymore!

If you're rooted you can use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1639275
Plus, it's already fixed in viperRom.

Ok, we need to see exactly what this does because not only did it unlock photos in messenger apps, it has unlocked my photos in Latitude for Google maps..
Thanks for posting this... What ever its doing I wonder if it can be baked into roms.

Tap on a contact in the people app and hit the second button from the top right that says google on it. You can use it to manually link a contact to a facebook contact and should sync photos as well

Yeah it took me a nice bit of searching to find that lol but i'm glad it worked, it seems the new sense is locked down to not share photos with third party apps

I would load up the pic for the contact entry, but in using apps like handcent or gosms it wouldn't show the pics, this program has unlocked the pics to be shown!
my FB contacts pix do sync but the quality is ****...

I knew this existed I've been looking for this for days. Thanks!
I used the first fix I posted and my pics sync just fine.

Not rooted
My phone is not rooted, so the above link will not work. Syncmypic does not work either. I am unable to manually link in people because the phone is registering that the person is on facebook already and although the paperclip is not linked, once I click on it, it takes me to OTHER people to link to and the person disappears from the list. My pics will not link to gosms at all. Please advise! Thank you.
the initial sync works fine..But facebook doesn't seem to update on its own..so im only seeing updates and contact photos from the initial sync.
Interesting

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!

Thank your for your great advice... Works like a charm!
After upgrading to 4.0 all programs except stock contacts and text no longer show Facebook profile pictures. I use GoContacts, Handcent sms and Gmail. None of these display to contact pictures for Facebook contacts. The contact pictures is blank. I have contacted all the companies and they all blame Facebook. Any ideas?

it is facebook. they locked down that part of there API. you have 2 options to get them back:
1. buy Haxsync from the market place. Its only $.99 and it works great.
2. download an app called Photo Unlocker, it was developed by ChainsDD. It is no longer in the market so you will need to search Google for it. For this to work you need to make sure your contacts are synced already with Facebook fully, run the app, it will ask for root. then it will show if the data base is busy or not. some times you will need to click unlock a bunch of times for it to work.
Loaded Haxsync. The only program that sees it is contacts. Does not work with third party programs. Handsent, go contacts and gmail.

i use handsent and go contacts and the both see them on mine. try going to:
system > app > find the 2 apps and clear cache from them.
I just installed Callapp the new social dialing app that is supposed to work great with face book. It doesn't show Facebook contact photos either. This all started the second I upgraded to ICS.

I've just downloaded HaxSync and I'm sync'ing now. I'm using a beta version of Contacts+ for my address book. We're about to find out if my contact photos import from Facebook like they used to before the API change. If this works, I'll be reporting back on my beta results.
And the verdict is...
IT WORKS (for about 90% of my Facebook contacts that had missing photos)!! Thanks for the tip!
It took a day, but the HaxSync did work. Had to rename a few contacts to the same as in Facebook. Working good with Go Contacts and Handcent.
Thanks!

I did get it working with all of my Facebook contacts. I had to rename a few to the same name as in Facebook.

In hax there's an option on how accurate it needs to be. Go into the setting for "fuzziness" just don't hit the last option in it. Trust me lol

Does anyone know how to stop the galley from showing Facebook photos without removing Facebook? So far that's the only thing I hate about this phone.

I don't have the HTC One in my hands yet but I am running Sense 5 on my HTC Evo Lte. Open up your gallery and click on the settings button, under the online services you should be able to unselect Facebook so that you don't have a million pictures in your gallery. Hope this helps.
There is currently no way to not have all those annoying FB updates in your gallery on the One. I posted on HTC's FB page about this issue, their response was to press My Gallery. This is the most frustrating thing about this phone. I didn't buy the HTC First because of the FB integration. Essentially this phone has the same downside.
