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.

Use K9 Email app from market instead. There's a setting to show picture always and it will display your images inline.
i prefer stock mail
any solution ? i can;t find the solution too ..
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 have looked far and wide for a solution for this but can't seem to find one ..
I have contact pictures for my contacts that I have chosen and assigned to my contacts manually and are stored as the Google contact picture, I have an issue with the facebook app when it syncs a facebook profile picture update the application forces the contacts default picture to be the facebook picture.
I don't want it to do this, it can change the facebook linked contact picture but why does it have to change the contacts default picture?? Is there some way this can be blocked or stopped from within Android contacts??
This has been prevalent since before I can remember with the facebook app and sync so I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or solutions??
Surely submitting a bug to facebook is not the solution as we SHOULD be able to control and/or lock portions of our contacts details..
When you first time, install the facebook app doesn't it asks about syncing?
If I'm right, it asks like sync with all contacts, don't sync, sync with existing contacts or so .. like that.
I usually selects "Do not sync" and it will not be synced.
But I want to link the FB contacts to my Google Contacts .. just don't want it messing up the default contact picture..
