[Q] Facebook Contact Picture Sync Problems After Sense 6 Update - HTC One Max

Has anybody else experienced problems with Facebook contact photos disappearing after the Sense 6 update?
I'm experiencing it on two different phones with Sense 6 right now, so I'm assuming it's related to that. The pictures for my Favorites widget have always been synced but a handful of them have started to disappear.
Uninstalling/reinstalling Facebook, clearing data, etc. has not helped. Anyone else experience this?

Yes I have and apparently no one knows why, I'm getting blurry images of my contact which sucks

I used sync.me to sync contact pics instead....it loads the fb pics onto your google account

Contacts photo's - Can they Sync?

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.

Cool, thanks for the reply, its what I thought, but its a shame
Cheers guys
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

Contacts aren't syncing/linking.

I've noticed recently that my contacts aren't syncing/linking to each other anymore. It's done this on multiple roms so I don't think it's rom specific.
I have facebook, facebook for sense, google and phone contacts visible. So for some (most) contacts I have 4 duplicates. I know that I could disable some of those contacts from being visable but I like them all being visable, mostly for the facebook pictures for their display pictures.
Short of going through and linking all 4 contacts together for each person for my entire contact list, how would I go about fixing this? Why is there no auto link feature in sense? (other than it doing it automatically when it feels like it) This seems a bit silly to me.

ICS Contact/People Photos Too Large - Suggestions?

I know I'm not the only one who's had issues with the large contact photos in the People/Contacts directory in ICS, but previous threads have noted issues with Google Contacts.
They look fine on the call screen and elswhere.
I use Exchange for contacts and I don't use Facebook or Google+.
Any suggestions or solutions/workarounds you know of?
Thanks.

ICS contact photos problem

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

Issue with Contacts, Sync, Pictures, Messaging Client

Okay guys I have been having this or a similiar problem since back when i had my droid X.
Here is what happens:
I sync my contacts with google and facebook, pretty everything links okay and the contacts that don't I manually link to the proper facebook contact. All of my contacts have pictures now from facebook. When I use the messaging app my contact images seem random, some show up some don't. I have googled this to no avail and it seems that others do have this problem and something like syncmypix app can solve the problem which is the route i took with my Droid X. This method seems hacky to me and I really dont like having to run another syncing app when the pictures seem to already be connected to the contact.
The second bigger problem is that the contacts without pictures seem to not actually be connected to the proper contact at all in the messaging app. When i click on the "ghost man" (because the picture doesnt show up) thumbnail I am not forwarded to the contact details. However for contacts with pictures everything works properly.
When I use a third party messaging app (sliding messaging) everything works perfectly.
So the question is, am I doing something wrong? Is there an inherent flaw or bug in android that is ****ing this up? Is my cellphone data corrupt? What is going on... I love android but this is seriously almost driving me away as it has been an issue for almost 3 years with 2 different phones for me.
Thank you!
