Why is it that all my facebook contacts that are synced have blurry images? I thought this was supposed to be fixed with Jellybean?
I thought it was actually the other way around, it always worked up until Jellybean. Either way, you can try "Haxsync" from the play store, with the "Haxsync Jellybean workaround", also from the play store. It worked for me in the past, although i haven't used it lately because, to be honest, i stopped caring.

I heard that this program has issues with it not syncing updated or rather recently changed profile pics. Input?

No I haven't had that issue. Sometimes the app doesn't find some friends but you can click on the person and manually associated them through the app.
edit: You may have to re associate the person if there pic changes I assume

I have an xt910 running on the latest EU version and I am facing a problem. I have some of my contacts linked with their Facebook so their photo shows when they call me. The first time I linked them everything was ok and their pics was shown correctly. But when someone updated their pic it showed it as blanc. Now none of my contacts has a pic displayed regardless if it is a simple Facebook contact or a linked one. I have the latest Facebook app from the market. I think it has something to do with the folder which the Android stores those pics and I want to delete it to see if it will force the update. Does anyone knows where they are stored or has any suggestions about the matter;

It was easy to force update of Facebook contacts on wp7.. Not so easy on Android..
I'm interested in a way to force it besides using an app which is free on goggler play, which messed up my contacts by attaching the wrong image to the wrong person..
Sorry, this is my first Android phone.. Previously on wp7, blackberry and Nokia 5800..

Go into config/aplications/manage apps/... and clear the contacts app cache, this may solve the black pics.

I just cleared data for anything with "contacts" in the name, and your contacts will resync.
I have Facebook and friend caster pro installed. Friend caster syncs HQ pics when setup correctly and has kept them up to date for me.

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!

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!

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

Anyone have HaxSync working? I loved this app on my Epic 4G, it would download high-res contact photos from Facebook and use them instead of the low-res ones from Google.
Every time I try to set it up I get the annoying "Unfortunately HaxSync has stopped"
I got it to work no problem, but it has the same crappy quality pictures that come with the FB app contact sync.

Yeah, I don't get it. On AOSP with Haxsync the pictures were beautiful. On Sense 4 it's just garbage, even when manually choosing the "Haxsync" picture in the inividual contact settings.
yup same problem here. strange how it worked on ics leaks and kangs but on an official shipped ics, it doesn't
I too am interested in this...
On ViperRom right now, it is not giving me higher quality images.
ALTHOUGH... I seem to remember before I rooted that it DID give better pics?
Ok I was able to get it to install. Had to uninstall, reboot (probably to clear the cache), then re-install.
It's not syncing my contacts though (0 contacts shown in Sense People) but it looks like that's a problem with everyone right now according to the HaxSync Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync
Ok just checked their Facebook Page seems to be up and running. It's also downloading high res photos on my stock rom

Yes. You have to switch the photos though manually to use the haxsync photo instead of the Google photo.
This works for me too. Super annoying to have to manually switch pictures on every contact. Has Anyone figured out how to set haxsync pics to default?

Hi,
I just got my S3 a few days ago and I noticed something weird. Ive been using Handcent SMS for years now and never really had any problems with it. Now, I dont see any contact pics in the app unless they're from the Google profile or from the phone. If I set the pic from Facebook it doesn't show up. The exact same thing happens using Go SMS.
Also, why are the Facebook pics such crappy quality? ;/
Thanks for any help.
Anybody having a similar issue?

Thats because your screen is too big
Facebook avatars aren't that large on the site to start with, so appear slighly blury on these displays.

I can't see the big differences from the old app.
Can you send photos and videos out files with it like whatsapp? I haven't found a way to do it.
Furthermore I can't add a photo to my chat profile without having to add it to Google +.
And my contacts that I have pictures of in my contact book are shown without pictures in the chat since they haven't got a picture on Google+.
So far I am a little bit disappointed with these issues and whatsapp will unfortunately still be a more preferable way for me to send messages for a while longer.

Use Titanium Backup or similar software to remove Talk-app (remember to backup) and then install Hangouts from Google Play. Worked for me!
1)Delete talk with titanium backup
2) Restart device
3) Install hangouts from google play
This only worked for me I hope it help you:good:
