Why can't I save a Facebook photo while tap/holding on a picture I'm viewing?
When I click the menu button, i have the option to share, or assign as a contact photo, and even to Dropbox but now on the device.
Seems to be specific for my GS4 and a buddy's GS3.
Ang work around?
Its not your phones....ive had the htc one s, gs3, and now the gs4....its a facebook thing...not the phone. I believe there is an app on the market that will allow you to download pics.

I just assumed because my buddy has a DROID incredible and CAN save them by holding on the photo, another friend with some kind of Motorola running Android that also can, seems like a stupid problem, I know it's available in the Facebook app, i'll check version numbers of their specific facebook apps.
I've never been able to do this on any of my previous Droids or Tablets with the official facebook app. The free-version 3rd party facebook app, FriendCaster allows you to save pictures.

I can tell you now, I miss facebook for htc sense when it used to ACTUALLY WORK, my contact pics aren't syncing, the facebook for android is sh*tty compared to what it used to be, this is more a rant than anything cuz I doubt it's fixable by a dev

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 this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&hl=en
In conjunction with getting rid of the god-awful Facebook app and using your Browser (which is quicker, less of a battery drain and doesn't scan your text messages!)
HD contact photos on Play Store, that app fixes blurry contact pics
None of these apps sync with facebook I dont. Have the pictures on my phone to do it manually
There is an option for fb
i use Facebook contact sync by danut chereches. it pulls 720*720 images and links it to your contacts. it can also set how often to refresh the info as well. you can set the pic size if u want as well...
it has a nice feature that links the contacts based on fb notes that are attached to you phone contacts when you first linked it via facebook's app. so it's practically automatic.

As the pictures of facebook are low res, I downloaded an app to insert high def pictures from my computer (HD contact photos)
Now I found a method to download the high res picture from facebook, but cannot find a way to set the contact picture back to facebook picture...
I had an HTC wich had a little arrow next to the contact pictures wich was used to switch between a preloaded one, or the most current facebook one.
Does this phone have this to?
thx
Use haxsync it works great.

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.

In the photo albums only. Your contacts will be fine so long as you tell facebook to not sync the contacts. I dislike that too.

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.
i changed to Quickpic myself ... awesome gallery app
According to an article I saw on android central HTC is supposedly considering implementing a toggle for facebook photos in the gallery in the next update.

That's just how they are if you don't have the contact linked to a social networking profile or choose your own picture from the gallery.

That is when the sync picture resolution is not big enough to prevent the picture blurr. That is why I think they use dots to display it.
hey bro i had the same problem... if u transferred the contact from a different phone by HTC transfer tool, this what u will get............
best solution is change your contact to gmail account (no more on phone) and change the contact pictures that u want with pictures from gallery for one time (i know its sucks).... also if u have some of ur contact linked to facebook, that should update ur friend pictures without dots
Actually, there are issues with gmail as well. Check out this long thread over at Adroidcentral about the issue:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/htc-one/270273-contact-picture-issue.html
I setup all my contacts on gmail.com and uploaded hi res images (some 3000x3000!) and they still show up dots. I'm just living with it right now until I get the urge to move all my contact photos locally to the phone.

here's what I did
open the contact touch the picture it gets larger with a setting in the bottom right corner. Choose that and then from the choices choose phone and the picture cleared right up. Did not work with every picture so I deleted those and got new one's from gallery / facebook or where ever.
