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

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 ****...

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

This isn't evo3d specific, but the facebook app really sucks. Is it just licensing that keeps someone from making a better one? I would pay for a FULLY FUNCTIONAL facebook app - something that lets me do everything I can do on the site. and I would like it to have total control over what I have to see in my newsfeed, because I don't care about farmville.
I just want push notifications on my EVO like my wife has on her epic

idk if you remember the early facebook app that was out when the Evo first came out a year ago... It was HORRIBLE compared to what we have today, so if anything, we're doing alright compared to that. And that's saying something.
But I agree, I hate having to go to the site to reply to invites to events and whatnot, gets old real quick. I also wish that gawker sites wouldn't go to the mobile site in the stock browser, it won't let you watch any flash videos, and won't let you switch to desktop version of the site. /endrant
Yeah and I will also like to change my profile pic from the app, because even if you go to the site from your phone (in desktop version) it doesn't let you do it cause of the cropping of the pic which is impossible from the phone.

Stock FB app?? I have been freaking out cuz if there is a stock FB app on my 3D Evo...I cant find it!! Wtf?? Where is it?? Or why do you have it and I don't?? Anyway someone can upload the stock apk for me, please?
Thanks!
This time it didn't come pre installed as it was on the 4G, you have to go to the market and download it.
Yeah yeah, its a shooter and I'm not afraid to use it...
I asked this in a different thread but it was moving so fast I think people over looked it.
Is there anything from the gb roms that i can do/add that will allow social hub sync my contacts? I loved how it showed all my Facebook friends birthdays in my calendar. i noticed HTC sense would do this too.
It might not be that its social hub that isn't allowing it it could be the calendar. maybe im missing a step. When I sign into my social hub fb account it shows to sync calendars but it doesn't show their birthdays.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know that after installing the Facebook app, you get presented with a screen which asks you what you want to sync. Personally I hate it so I always click 'do not sync' but I'm pretty sure it'll let you sync like Sense does?
Facebook app settings has a way to sync FB.
but the only thing the FB app actually sync is the picture and phone number, and maybe email, I don't remember it syncing birthdays.

Anyone have HaxSync working? I loved this app on my Epic 4G, it would download high-res contact photos from Facebook and use them instead of the low-res ones from Google.
Every time I try to set it up I get the annoying "Unfortunately HaxSync has stopped"
I got it to work no problem, but it has the same crappy quality pictures that come with the FB app contact sync.

Yeah, I don't get it. On AOSP with Haxsync the pictures were beautiful. On Sense 4 it's just garbage, even when manually choosing the "Haxsync" picture in the inividual contact settings.
yup same problem here. strange how it worked on ics leaks and kangs but on an official shipped ics, it doesn't
I too am interested in this...
On ViperRom right now, it is not giving me higher quality images.
ALTHOUGH... I seem to remember before I rooted that it DID give better pics?
Ok I was able to get it to install. Had to uninstall, reboot (probably to clear the cache), then re-install.
It's not syncing my contacts though (0 contacts shown in Sense People) but it looks like that's a problem with everyone right now according to the HaxSync Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync
Ok just checked their Facebook Page seems to be up and running. It's also downloading high res photos on my stock rom

Yes. You have to switch the photos though manually to use the haxsync photo instead of the Google photo.
This works for me too. Super annoying to have to manually switch pictures on every contact. Has Anyone figured out how to set haxsync pics to default?

Hi,
I just got my S3 a few days ago and I noticed something weird. Ive been using Handcent SMS for years now and never really had any problems with it. Now, I dont see any contact pics in the app unless they're from the Google profile or from the phone. If I set the pic from Facebook it doesn't show up. The exact same thing happens using Go SMS.
Also, why are the Facebook pics such crappy quality? ;/
Thanks for any help.
Anybody having a similar issue?

Thats because your screen is too big
Facebook avatars aren't that large on the site to start with, so appear slighly blury on these displays.

This hides my personal fb photos only. I believe the op is referring to having every fb friend's pictures in your gallery in albums. I have friend's and pages liked pictures in my gallery. I haven't found a way to turn that off. If I wanted to view friend's picture crap, I can use the fb app. HTC should have left my gallery alone. :thumbdown:

It will upload your friend's picture as soon as you log into the facebook app or sign in with blinkfeed. Even with sync turned off in the settings menu. The only safe way, use the web browser.

May I suggest just pictures from the play store as a nice uncluttered gallery app. You can add services to it or more importantly not add them.
