I know that the phone has facebook integration, but when I syncronise contacts with FB, all contact pics are low quality and then only appear 1x1cm on display, I want them to be fullscreen when I dial a contact.
What program should I use to have fullscreen contacts pics.
THX.
Umm this might help

I linked almost all of my contacts with their respective Facebook accounts, which means that their profile pictures and birthdays will be stored on my phone. When I sms say Contact A, his picture from Facebook comes up correctly on the left of his name.
However when Contact A calls me the Facebook picture of say Contact H comes up instead. Even contacts without any linked profiles or any pictures turn up with arbitrary contact pictures instead. I find this predicament highly annoying. Prior to linking Facebook accounts, none of my contacts had profile pictures in my phone.
Can anyone help me out here please?
Hello,
I heard that facebook application updates its contact display pic with facebook display pics ? Mine doesnt do so , is that because of andriod 1.6 or somthin elc stopping to do so? any other software which does the same?
go to contacts, press app button, show updates and you can select either facebook, twitter or both (you need to link the contacts from phone and fb)
to link contacts, go to timescape, look for the contact spline, click on the infinity button, addcontact, and select from your contacts list
It says on the official site you can sync facebook pics with contacts, how can I do that?

you need android 2.1 and facebook for android. login press the button sync to contacts
For anyone who still has 1.6 you can use 'SyncMyPix' which does the same thing.
Note: The name in your phonebook has to be identical to the name on facebook.
Other program is Facebooksync there you can choose which phone contact to sync with facebook profile picture.
Do not need any 3rd-party app.
Just upgrade to 2.1, then update the pre-installed Facebook app with Android Market.
At the first time you start FB App, it will ask you whether to sync your facebook contacts with your phone contacts or not. Let it sync.
When the sync is completed, open your Contacts. Click on the contact that you want to change the Contact Picture ~> click on Edit Contact ~> press Menu button and choose Join contact. Then choose your Facebook contact that related with the current contact.
Done, the contact picture will automatic change to FB profile picture. Any update to FB profile picture will effect to the user contact picture automatically.
Hope this help

problem with this is, i have 1300 friends. and what it did was, it added all 1300 friends and put it in my phone book, how annoying!
Go to FB App Settings, Sync Contacts, and check the option Sync with existing contacts.
Hope this help!

That's the exact reason I didn't sync it. Same with the facebook profile photos.

Thanx mate. Was looking for this, for my wife's mini pro.
Much easier on my X10i.
Thanx.
How do i sync contacts with facebook pictures without getting ALL my friends from facebook to the phone.
"Sync existing contacts only" doesnt work. Mine just syncs all my FB friends numbers to my phone.. and doesnt even update the contacts picture on phone..
same problem....but some contacts were updated and some others not
i have had this problem as well, and there is a small work-a-round when in the contacts menu i go to Options > Visible contacts > Edit , and simply only have the desired contacts show up.
as for your picture problem, i have always done this by hand simply merging the contact with the corresponding facebook account
Yeah thats a workaround, but then when you start typing receiver in text messages for example, random people from facebook with number pops up.. kind of annoying.
SyncMyPix, is a app that does the job but i would want FB native app to do the job..
If anyone knows, please share!
I noticed that the picture on my contacts are very low resolution and appear pixelated. Is there any way too fix it?
Thanks
Are you using Google to sync contacts? If so try a picture from the phones memory and see if that helps.. Btw I sync with Google but no problems. Are you using full screen caller pics?

I have this same issue, only with me it happens with 4 contacts (2 pairs of folks with the same names) and their photos appear small and pixelated whilst others are larger, crisper and sharp.
I cant seem to figure out why this happens - cant be an issue with the matching names conflicting in the contacts database??

Are you using Facebook to sync your contacts photos? If so:
-go into the app>app settings>scroll near the bottom and un-check sync contact photos.
-exit the app
-go to settings and scroll down to the accounts section, add a new account
-Choose xperia with Facebook (by default this should sync hi-res contact photos and calendar (you can turn either or both on/off)
Using the facebook app account to sync contact photos will provide low-res. Using xperia with facebook will provide hi-res.

I currently have both accounts for this set up. For the majority of my contacts, the images are ok but i cannot shake the feeling these 4 instances are due to my contacts having the same name. But cant figure that out.
I have stopped my Facebook App Sync now so will try and refresh and see what happens with the Xperia Facebook account still active and see how i get on.

When I had both accounts syncing contacts (Facebook and Xperia with Facebook) some contacts would show the hi-res and some the low-res. When I edited the contact photo I could see both the hi-res and low-res available.
Once I disabled the Facebook account contact sync and kept the Xperia with Facebook contacts syncing, and waited a few minutes, only the Hi-Res photos were showing.

Thanks

No you shouldn't have to, but give it some time to refresh, especially if you have a lot of contacts. I noticed with mine that while it was downloading images, if I went to a contact that still had a low-res photo and went into the contacts details, a few seconds later the image would update to high-res.

Managed to get to WiFi last night after stopping the Facebook App Sync and the issue still remained. I even sync'ed the Xperia Facebook once again and the issue remained.
I then decided to remove my Facebook account from my phone and recommence the process of adding Xperia Facebook account. However this did not allow all my contacts to be sync'ed from Facebook, so I had to resort to using both the Xperia Facebook and Facebook app running.
I then went through all my contacts and what you described above occurred - the blurred images became sharper when viewing the contacts. it was just a case of going through my list and allowing them to become Hi-res and the problem was solved.
A bit long winded but I am happy this worked for me. Still no real idea why it occurred in the first place and also why it only happened to contacts with the same names....very strange indeed!
Thanks for the help!!

You are quite welcome, and I'm glad it worked out, though the process was sluggish. In the end it's worth it because the hi-res contact photos look a world better.
Thanks for reporting back for others.
Worked for me too! Thanks
Hello, I had problems with this too, and I finally used HaxSync, but after I removed facebook app
