Has anyone noticed that after the update that your contacts pic is missing from thread view in messaging? It is still there if I look up that contact and the pic is even there in my call log but is now missing under messaging. Hope that makes sense. This is an all stock phone with Launcherpro using stock sms app.

Since yesterday I have not been able to see the Facebook pictures from my contacts when I open text messages from them yet their are all there in the People App. If I open my messages in the default application I can only see my Facebook photo and everything else is blank, the same happens in Handcent although that never shows my photo anyway (by design).
Can anyone think of what could have caused this?
Cheers.
Just to say that this issue is now resolved although the cause is still unknown. To fix it all I did was to unlink and re-link the facebook associations in the People app.
So is anyone here using both facebook contacts (with phonenumbers ofcourse) and GO Sms? I love Go SMS, in my opinion it beats ChompSMS (which has the same problem) and HandCent (Which doesnt have the problem, but it looks like crap). But the problem is that it simply cant show facebook contacts.. When composing an sms it won't show anyone who is a facebook contact and where as in the standard messaging app i can see the name and photo of a contact who sent me an sms, in Go SMS it just shows the phone number.
Is there anything that can be done or is it entirely up to the Go SMS developer? 90% of my contacts are just facebook people, i can't be arsed to manually create them all as normal contacts
Thanks,
No one can help?
Just found this thread via Google, I can't believe how much time I've wasted messing around with Google Contacts/FB Sync for this issue.
My suggestion is file a bug report on GoSMS and hope the devs can fix it. It shouldn't even be that difficult - just a specific case for handling Facebook contacts. They've demonstrated they're willing to deal with FB-specific issues as shown by their new 'import FB photo' feature.
Do let me know if you figure out a workaround? Like you, I know Handcent does it fine, but it looks like arse.

You have to have a rooted phone.
Rebuild the contact database or install a custom rom with that feature installed.
Will try to search some links for you and update the post

It's not sowing Facebook pictures or Facebook contacts in handcent, and i don't looker the stock one, and this is a problem. Anyone have this problem and possibly a solution? anda
same problem
I'm running a moto RAZR on the ICS leak, rooted... I can't get Facebook profile pictures to reflect in hand cent... It will in the contacts/phone app, but not hand cent... Please help!
Has anyone realized that sense is the only skin that allows group text messaging threads and access to gmails groups you've created in contacts? This, along with the camera, are the main reasons I stay with a sense rom. Handcent will kind of handle group text, but not as well as Sense Messaging does. And if you ever try, from your phone, to email a group you have created in gmail, it won't happen. At least not that I have found. Am I the only one that this drives crazy?!?! How can this not be included in stock android??
Yeah same here. I haven't found another email app that recognises gmail contact groups...

i keep coming back to sense roms because the contacts app is the only apps that shows my contacts correctly. It's amazing the AOSP contacts app doesn't even have an option for "contacts with phone numbers only" option, much less sync with facebook of all things
I don't sync or set contact photos, and the stock contact photo on 4.3 is UGLY. Is there any way to disable contact photos, or at least set them all to a different one? Also, is there a way to remove them from the stock SMS? There were no contact photos in my text messages until I updated to 4.3. Stock ROM and not rooted. Thanks!
