I found the solution for mine! first log in to facebook and also the facebook app. Once your logged in go to settings/apps/facebook and disable the app, go back to the gallery and remove facebook. You will now see facebook pictures removed. Go back to settings and apps and enable facebook app once again. Open the app and you should be logged in and go to gallery and you shall not see facebook pictures!
:good:

Or you can go to your gallery touch the three dot menu go to add online service and disable the Facebook from there that's what I did

if you do that once you go to the facebook app without disabling it you will have to log back in, and once you do the pictures will sync again.
Yep I just noticed that . Turns out I don't sign into Facebook that often lol
Thanks
Thanks mate:good:

The facebook app that comes with the phone isn't really an app, it is just friendstream, no? When I signed it, it downloaded ALL of my contacts instead of just those with a matching entry in my phone which I can do with the Facebook app. How do I change that?

can you not find the official facebook app in the market? I personally use Bloo as my FB Client and just sync my FB contacts through Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add new > Facebook
I can but want to understand what the integrated solution does
Go to the Sync option remove your facebook there and then add it again it will ask for the option if you want to sync matching contacts or all of them.

Add Facebook or Facebook for myTouch? Regular Facebook doesn't do anything when pressed. Facebook for myTouch doesn't give me the option.
Thx
Use facebook for mytouch, after doing that wait for some time and it will notify you that you havd contactd simmilar to your fb account and if you wanna sync them

Go to your contact list, click menu and view. It will let you decide which acccounts you want it to show in your contact list.
Facebook for Mytouch never syncs contacts for me, it gives me the "sync is having problems now" message. Anyone experience this?
Mine worked fine but there is an option under the contacts settings to make only contacts with phone numbers show. That is really nice.
I disabled this cause even when I select use google pic, some how a few contacts would still revert to facebook over time. Too frustrating for me.
Now that we have perma root... does anyone know if removing the facebook for mytouch app will cause any problems? I would like to pull it off and put on the market version. I plan on making a backup and trying it myself but was wondering if anyone had any insight before I try.
ei guys could you help me out....im using ice cream sunday final...i love it there is only one tinsy winsy adjustment i would like to make do you know the option in 2.3.4 gingerbread contacts where you could join facebook account or email account and phone contacts into one? i kinda want that hehe..any ideas?...could you help me out. your help is very much appreciated. thank you
Download the facebook app from the market. Install it.... Go into the app and sign in your facebook account. If it's your first log in, it will ask if you want to sync your facebook contacts with your phone contacts. Then tap on "Sync all". Done Cheers!

After following CNghost's steps, You must click on display options, go to for example... Facebook [email protected], click the arrow and check the Facebook contacts box. then, press back, click on a contact, menu - edit, press menu again and click join.. the phone will automatically show you the relevant contacts.
Most of my favorites I display on my people widget are linked between my google contacts and facebook profiles. No matter how many times I change them to display the google contact pic, it always changes back to their facebook profile pic after a little while.
Searched high and low with no luck. Have had the problem with stock rooted and mean-rom.
Any ideas?
I've had to go into each "favorite" contact and manually change them from facebook picture to google picture of the contact.

Yep, I've done that at least a dozen times, but It will revert back to the facebook pic. Let know if it stays for you.
I can't isolate the problem either. It seems to keep it on restart. I will even keep it when I restart sense.
My thinking is the facebook sync is overriding my settings, but I dont' know how to stop it from overriding. I still want all of my other contact to sync up...
Haxsync, sync contacts then manually select the contacts you don't want to update and turn off Facebook syncing.

Works great, thanks.
According to the settings, it doesn't look like it would do what I want. But I installed it a few days ago, and everything now works how I like it to.
my contact pics are still the same pics that my FB friends have had since before I even had this phone...is there a way to force update?
i know there are apps, best one?

I haven't actually tried any of these ideas, but I think one might help, and they're pretty low risk:
Method 1: Toggle Facebook Sync
In Facebook app, settings, Other Settings, Contacts Sync, change setting from 'Sync all' or 'Sync with Existing Contacts' to 'Remove Facebook Data'
Hit the 'Sync/Done' button at top-right
Check your contacts and verify that photos/links have been removed
Return to FB app, same place, change setting back to 'Sync All' or 'Sync with Existing Contacts'
Method 2: Delete Contacts and Re-sync
If Method 1 doesn't work, try this. This method assumes that your contacts exist only in the cloud (e.g., on gmail, exchange server, etc.) and not locally, and thus can be re-synched easily. IF YOU HAVE ANY LOCAL CONTACTS THIS WILL DELETE THEM.
- Follow steps 1 and 2 above
- Exit the Facebook app
- Go to System Settings-> More -> Application Manager, swipe right until you see 'All'
- Scroll down to Contacts Storage and click on it
- Click on <Clear Data> and <Clear Cache>
- At this point, I'd reboot the device
- After re-boot, your contacts should re-sync from outside sources, (if they don't, go to System Settings-> Accounts and click on the account where your contacts are (e.g., Google) and the account name and it should sync)
- Follow Step 4 in Method 1 above
I found that you have to edit the contacts. If you have them attached to a gmail or outlook account then they default to that picture. I've had to edit a lot of my contacts bc of this.

I use the Sync.ME app. It downloads hi-res Facebook pictures and you can set it to run automatically on a regular basis.
Ubersync in app store works awesomely
Haxsync can solve this as well.

+1 for Ubersync. Works great, except I wish it didn't create an "Ubersync" account in my phone, but other than that, works great.
Hey, here is my problem:
Facebook and Messenger are always turned on in the background and whenever I connect to the internet I appear online on FB.
Sometimes I want to use the internet without appearing on facebook and receiving messages. I know that I can use the log out option in both FB and Messenger but than I need to re-enter password and re-login with all those questions about syncing my device with FB. I am looking for a solution. Something like 1 button widget that disables/enables facebook in no time. I tried using some firewalls but they took long to work and when I wanted to turn back FB on I had to restart my device.
Any ideas?

yes of course you can chat even without messenger. chat heads wont pop up but once you open the facebook app, you will be receiving notifications in the notification bar.
