With all the Timescape stuff etc, when I link my contacts to a Facebook profile, I was expecting it to link the profile pictures as well or at least give the option to do so.
Is this possible so when I get a text message in Timescape from somebody, their picture is the same as if they posted on status on Facebook? As it stands, the text is generic picture then they do a status and it is a 'different' person with a picture despite being linked.
If you understand what I mean lol..
The link in Timescape is for the "Infinity Button" I believe. You can sync contacts with Facebook using Facebook Sync! Just do a search on Android Market!
i was also wondering about this, strange that timescape wont sync photos. hope they fix this, i believe sense do this automatically?

its not really sense but HTC software does it auto even without sense. i have use vanila offerings on my hero prior to x10 and they were fine. i am rather annoyed with this ommittance as even though non essesntial its one of the features of FB syncing. must be a way but i havent found one yet
Ok I have looked for this trouble in the forum and on Google already, and I see I am not alone, but the only answers I could find are : "no bug for Facebook sync in Sense with 2.1, does work for me", "remove and re-ad your account and sync, might be long".
Well... actually... no it does not work.
The fact is, I have tried a few 2.1 ROMs, and I couldn't make it work on any of those, including the last official taiwanese 2.1 release : only the profile pictures are synced, but nothing else : no statuses, no events, no facebook albums, including mines, and cannot upload pictures... very annoying
So... maybe the problem is not on my HTC Hero with Sense on Android 2.1... and I was right.
So here is THE fix :
1- remove your Facebook account from your Hero.
2- In Facebook, Application Settings, remove all HTC Sense applications (I had 2, maybe one for Sense with 1.5, other for Sense with 2.1).
3- On your Hero, re-add your Facebook account.
4- Fixed
First sync might take a few minutes, depends on your network I guess, but not hours like I have read in some other threads...
Sorry for my not so good english, and I hope this fix has not been already given so I don't look like a jerk ^^

Just flashed Fresh 1.0.1 and my contacts aren't syncing. Facebook for Android works fine but Facebook for Sense is messed up. I already tried what you suggested above before looking online for a solution and finding that it was a common issue. I'm on an EVO and I tried Menu/Settings/Accounts&Sync/ and removed Facebook for HTC Sense, I also removed Facebook for Android and then re-installed both, still no luck. From looking around it seems like a common problem but not everyone seems to be having the same issues.
Yeah I have tried this a few times now and still no luck
Edit: As suggested by sassnowwolf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736276&page=4) I cleared the cache and boom it's working now (This is after going through the process above)
Having 2 small problems with the sense 3.0 rom. My facebook contact pictures wont completely sync, i have about 15 people that no matter what i do it wont pull a picture for, i've tried clearing caches, deleting accounts and it won't work. I had the phone completly setup up in rc1 and didnt notice that issue. The other thing is i have an app or 2 i lose the right icon for on one of my screens, it turns into the android default for an app, but it still works fine.
hector48, have u tried manually syncing the contact to the respective facebook account? like, go to people, select the contact, click the link "(--)" button in the top right corner, choose facebook for htc sense, and select the contact? i've had the same issue where a certain amount of contacts won't sync no matter how many times i sync it, so i had to do it manually like that. hope this helps!
I have the same problem with one app on my homescreen that changes to the default icon. I have not looked into it yet but maybe its a problem with the app being on the sd card or something like that.
I tried what you said still no go, i can pull up the profile through friendstream or the contact card but it wont pull a pic ><

Hmmm, which facebook are you using to sync? Are you using the regular/Android Facebook or did you set up the Facebook for HTC Sense? I think the one for htc sense works better, but you have to set it up manually by going to settings --> accounts & sync --> add account and add facebook for htc sense.
The sense Facebook
On other versions of BAMF, I had the same issue.
Fix Permissions messed up the contact jpg permissions.
There is a thread that details how to fix this.
See if this helps you.

I have an droid eris with a stock rom 2.1
i cannot sync my contacts through facebook for htc sense for my acoount only
if i use my friend's account the sync occurs
but if i use my account it gives a com.htc.bg force close error
i have tried almost every method
plzz help
xtrsense also not helping
i flashed xtrsense rom
tried to sync with logcat on
and what i noticed was an error
i have uploaded an image of the error
can someone tell me what is the error all about????
As I recall it, somebody reported an error message like that with FB syncing if you have contacts with apostrophes in the name, such as O'Brien. It was something like that. Perhaps it's if your name has an apostrophe?
I don't know if that helps, but that's one thing I recall.
Another idea is to flash a non-HTC custom ROM, (e.g., one of the Gingerbread ROMs), and use the official Facebook app to sync with contacts.
Facebook, sense, contacts, image, pictureebook acct and told it to sync to existing contacts and back when I had the OG evo the contacts would automatically be updated with their facebook profile picture. Currently after many syncing attempts, restarts, etc the contacts still don't have their facebook profile pics and when I go to edit the contacts manually to add them when I click on facebook it doesn't have a picture. Is anybody else having this issue? (btw all of the contacts I've tried to manually map all have facebook profile pictures) Does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance
It's been mentioned and explained before. Here is the app you need

I was having this issue also, and my issue was fixed by doing two things.
1) In facebook (website), under "Account Settings -> Apps" I deleted HTC Sense (basically revoking HTC Sense access)
2) In Android "Settings -> Accounts & sync" I deleted Facebook, then readded it and made sure Sync Contacts was checkmarked.
HTC Sense should ask again to be allowed access to Facebook. Once accepting, the contact's profile pictures started trickling in.
The thing is if you're running a custom rom, the rom dev may not have included "Facebook_Client.apk" and "FacebookEngine.apk" which are essential to syncing facebook with htc sense.

Mine says app not found when trying to download it
thanks a lot...deleting the app from facebook and the phone fixed it...appreciate your help!!
Thanks for the tips, I was wondering why the syncing didn't work because I had to go into each contact and link them individually, which of course was a pain
