Hi all out there,
I've got a question which I think I know the answer to, but hoping there is a way round it.
The contacts I have on my phone are linked to facebook profiles which show the picture. This picture does not seem to sync to Google so when I view the contacts on Google, they have no image.
Back in the days of Windows Mobile and Touch Flo, the pictures from facebook used to actually sync with the contacts and transfer.
Anyone got any ideas how to achieve this?
Nobody any idea's on this one? Is anyone who is syncing their contacts and also linking them to facebook having the contact pictures synced back to Google?
Sorry, I just use Google Contacts as middle ware between my Mac running Spanning Sync and my Hero.
If its any help, the contact pics on the Hero from FaceBook don't make it through to my Mac.
Would be nice.
No, this is not gonna happen as yet. The Hero simply seems to link a reference number with the contact so that it knows what Facebook profile goes with what contact.
It's this that gets saved in Googlemail's contact list. No images are transferred as yet.
Maybe in a future update, but for now a definite no i'm afraid.

I have a T-Mobile G2 Touch that is rooted and have had the same problem. Am I right in saying that the link between each contact in your phonebook and the facebook profile is saved to your google contacts but not the picture. I ask this as I have just wiped my phone and synced my contacts and no facebook links are showing, and as I have 80+ contacts this is going to be quite annoying each time I want to wipe my phone.
In other news I have just discovered an app which syncs the facebook profile picture to your google contacts. However the contact has to have the same name as on the facebook profile which is a bit formal for me.

EDIT: Somehow my phone has managed to sync all my contacts with there correct facebook link and the pictures from the facebook profiles are showing as well.
On that note, I was just going to share this...

Just to let you know, just got to grips with this program, its great, only for PC users though it seems...
Lets you link your google contacts with facebook (seems to be either stored on google or facebook, which is good)
Lets you upload the current photo on facebook to the google contacts and stores it
Works brilliant, well chuffed! And the facebook link transfers to the hero so it gets the up to date details too
Hi everyone
Since I root the stock 2.3.3 I dont seem to see the status update of my contacts in the contact page anymore, does anyone have the same situation as well? It looks like it works fine when I first got the unroot GB update....anyone knows what happens and the work around?
same problem...
Does that particular contact still have a link to their Facebook page? If not, then the software isn't registering/linking them with their Facebook account. I think I read somewhere that the software looks to link Facebook account and contact list through phone number and/or email.
Well, I really like this forum and i've been searching a solution for my next problem: I'm using KKP8 and the official twitter app, it can sync contacts perfectly to the address book, but when i try to go to the profile of twitter from the address book it tells me, "Can't retrieve the tweets in this moment, try again later".
This has been happening to me since 2.3.7.. so please, help!
Btw, sorry for my english...
Anyone? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance..
