I like the DNA so far but Sense Gallery ahs been broken for a long time. You do not get your proper picasa gallery if you have anything other then an @gmail email address. Custom domains do not work. I emailed HTC about this many time on previous phones and it is still not fixed. Is there any work around to trick the app into getting the right pictures? I know i can find and install AOSP gallery if need be. I would think there would be more complaints about this.
anyone?

Hello, I have stock JB One X on Orange in UK and this is broken still. I use google apps account.

anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

i cant confirm this works but i have heard it works..

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
Just as title asks, i know that motoblur on photon has the social networking widgets and that stuff. Biggest question is, i currently have a stock rom and have my facebook sync'd to my phone and it combines my contact list with facebook and blah blah, anyways i like how i have my contact photos syncing with facebook. IF i flash to CM7(or any blur-less rom) will i lose this? Or will i still be able to sync my facebook into my phone and have my contacts and contact photos sync together like it is now? Not the end of the world if it doesn't, just want to find out any possible downside before flashing anything.
blur is nothing but bells and crap. flash cm7 and you have settings to choose to integrate social networks or not. I have CM7 and i have it to sync contacts to pictures so they show up with latest pix when they call. I can confirm that it works.

i believe you still can integrate the facebook contacts via CM7 i might be wrong on this one, but its the facebook app that can still offer that as well, like the things you would lose is like the stock music app, any moto apps really since they are built into the framework, settings will be a little different, theme customization will be different as well, sometimes it can free up and even speed up your phone by removing even more bloat. one thing i cant live without is the stock moto music player. i really do like it but its built into the framework so i cant move it over to cm7 im hoping i can figure out a workaround for that one
So strange problem, I'm using the HTC contact book and it will only show photos from FB, not google or anything else. On the other hand Handcent will show anything other than FB pictures so it's impossible to get both to work at the same time.
I'm running KingCobra3D-ICS, I didn't have this problem in GB.
I have the exact same issue. With all the ICS based ROM's many of the photo icons show. Furthermore it is with the default HTC contact book and also with "exDialer & Contacts" in the Google Play as well.
Hope someone sees this post and can recommend a fix.

If I use exDialer & Contacts, I'm fine since it uses the same images as Handcent. It's just if I want to use the stock contact app.
install friendcaster and sync pics register it with/in your contacts
log out/uninstall facebook, its fuggling it up
Fix is here

I just purchased a Droid Increadble 4G LTE from Verizon Wireless. I have started to notice some things that were forgot about or missed. These things should be caught before release.
Android version
4.0.3
HTC Sense version
4.0
Software number
1.43.605.3 710RD
1. The FriendStream widget is not there but is hidden.
2. I also noticed that when delete pictures from the phone storage using the computer they still show thumbnails in the gallary but when selected they give and triangle with the ! in the middle
3. Contact merge does not update contacts across the accounts as did previously on Droid Increadble.

1. That's been commented on several times here. It's just not a link in the app drawer, but it still exists in several places.

2. I pointed that out a few weeks ago, but no one has commented. I don't know a way to resolve it.

3. In the People app, it gives you the option to link contacts, exactly the same as it did on the original Droid Incredible, which I used for two years. It never updated anything on your Google account if you linked it to a contact on your phone storage, even if more information on the phone storage, and also vice versa. When I deleted my Facebook account on my Dinc last year, it deleted every contact who came specifically from Facebook, and deleted all information originating from Facebook from existing contacts. Linking contacts simply puts the two information together for one easy place to look at it on your phone. If you go back and delete all contacts from your old phone and then resync your Google account, you'll only get the ones who came from Google, no phone storage, no Facebook, etc. Every time I updated to a new ROM, I have to manually restore contacts from my phone storage after syncing my Google account until I just manually entered every contact from phone storage into my Google account.
IceDragon59 you are correct i was just putting all the annoying things in once place. Also the contact sync does not work for me as it did on the orginall Increadble. Maybe it is the same reason there is no Frienstream app or widget. But my contacts that should be linked to facebook arent showing there fackbook profile pictures like on previous HTC devices. Also I dont see Facebook for HTC Sense sync like before just Facebook for android.

Sense 4.0...yeah they changed a lot of the older functions to be merged into other places. People got used to the old Sense way of doing things. Whether these changes are for the better or not, time will only tell. But I agree, it seems a little too much in places. I think it's all part of their streamlining of Sense.

FriendStream is specifically hidden in the default.xml file. I believe the way they implemented Facebook for HTC Sense on this phone is that it is an add-on to the main Facebook app, and that's why it doesn't display. A couple of apps on this phone seem to work in a similar fashion. Since I don't have a Facebook anymore, I can't verify how the contact sync works from it. Currently I have nothing but a Google account syncing contacts. It's possible that you have to merge those contacts, then set each manually to update their photos from Facebook.

Thanks, but I have been going through and manually adding them. I guess it is something that I will get used to or switch to a different launcher. Launcher Pro has a widget like the friend stream one.
Hi All,
I use to have the option sync with Picasa under google account but it is no longer there. I also no longer see it under my Gallery neither. I am currently on JB 4.1.1 I605VRALL4. Any one know how I can get this back? I know there are many other 3rd party that I can use to view my Picasa pics but I like to have under Gallery if all possible. TIA.
never mind, I found my answer, it is automatically synced and the option is under google plus I believed.
