Is anybody else having issues with Facebook contact pictures not all showing up throughout the phone (SMS, Contacts, etc)?
I'm running Kspec Komplete CyanogenMod beta 5, however it has been like this since beta 3.
I know all of my sync settings are correct because maybe... 1/8 of my contacts pictures are coming in, but I can't find any rhyme or reason for those particular ones showing up.
Any ideas?
This can't be specific to just my phone.
Nobody else is experiencing this?
I believe it has to do with the privacy settings on your contacts' facebook
I only have like 500 some-odd facebook contacts, but have it just displaying my gmail contacts that are also facebook friends (so a little over 100 phone numbers in my phone) and its always shown everyone's photo and updated just fine up until I jumped ship to root-town.

I'm having a problem with the 'events and updates feature' retrieving updates from facebook.
When I select the 'update now' option in the 'updates and events' section for a contact it never retrieves any facebook information for any of the contacts.
All of my contacts are correctly linked to their facebook accounts but the application never picks up ANY updates.
Any ideas? I'm on O2 btw
your "me" contact card needs to be logged in, check that, also in the pictures tab, albums, switch to facebook tab..can you see their pictures?
if not you're not logged in.
Hi thanks for replying
yes I can see my 'me' contact card in the updates and events and can also see the facebook pictures in the facebook tab so it appears to be logged in fine.

I dont use facebook so cant really suggest anything else. I do know from the missus that fbook website has been flakey for her this past week or two, and i'm sure i read they are currently moving datacenters or something, so who knows. Maybe your friends just all stopped updating!
I dont really know how the application itself works, but for me, the updates seem to take a while (as an indication, about 3 or 4 minutes for 500 friends over wifi - dont know how big a difference the number of friends make). I've got to keep touching the screen so that it doesn't go into "sleep" mode otherwise it stops and I have to start again.
If I leave the screen on the "Updates and Events" page while it says "Updating...", the info will not automatically update even once all the data has been downloaded. I have to move across to another page (eg, Favourites, Groups, etc and then scroll back to see the actual updates.
Hope this helps .
btw.. I'm on Dutty's V1.5, if that makes any difference.
I have the same problem
it say ( updating...) when i click update now
but then the (updating ..) dissapears and nothing updated !!!!
but when i click update on a selected contact .. it become update !!!!
it was working fine ..i dont know what happened ?
Facebook updates working only for some contacts
For me it works for some contacts but not for all.
Just got my HD2 2 days ago, so so far only 10 people/contacts are linked to facebook.
- 9 fail to deliver/retrieve updates,
- 1 works
I noticed that the one status update that I received was really new, so I just wonder if there is somewhere a setting on how old the status updates can be, to be seen on the HD2.
I also had on unanswered event request, that one worked well.
One more issue, I can browse the album of almost all facebook contacts, but it's not working for one. does anybody know what could be the reason. Are only alboms which are set to be viewed by anybody browsable by HD2 (not the ones only visible to friends)?
I had the same issue, worked for a few days then would attempt to update, appeared to do so but no new info present.
Ended up having to go to Start/settings/data services/social networks and turn off facebook and then do it again.
After this for some strange reason it now works and has continued to for weeks.
Hey everyone,
I've searched and haven't found anyone else complaining about this issue, wanted to see if anyone else had it:
Running DamageControl 2.08.1
I have 1 facebook friend/acquaintance that apparently has a single space entered for his mobile number. He's not listed in my google contacts at all, only a facebook friend.
Since the hero syncs contacts with facebook friends it looks like it thinks anyone with a blank number is this facebook friend. The result: Any phone calls from people with blocked caller id shows as this guys name. Also text messages from the USGS earthquake list come in as if they're from him as well.
The only solution I can think of is asking him to change his number on facebook or unfriend him. Has anyone found a way to sync facebook profiles with people in the google phone book only and not every facebook friend one has? Or a way to remove a single entry from the facebook syncd people?
Thanks for any ideas

I had this randomly happen. Not sure why or how and it only happened once. I can back you up and say it happened, I don't know any more :/
I'm tired of my grey Android! So, How can I add my own picture or sync it w/ facebook?
I'm using cm6-rco fyi.

i would like to know as well. The stock rom did it, but i think that was because of Facebook for sense. I don't even have the android, i just have a grey square in messages.
any solution? I've set my phone number in settings, added myself as a contact that matches my facebook, synced facebook, etc etc. I got a grey android for 2 days then back to a grey square. really irritating.
running CM6.
You need to put your picture in your contact on your device.
The reason it's not syncing your facebook photo is you don't have yourself as a friend on facebook. I don't think if you can do that either.
Also, you may have to reset your number if/whenever you reboot. Sometimes just going into call setting/additional settings/my phone number will cause it to re-recognize the number.
Hello! I put the cyanogen rom a few days ago. I really don't like the contacts management....the list is ok, but the sync of the photos just doesn't work. Only some contacts are being sync-ed with facebook showing the right photos.
And the problem is that if I use a contact widget (for example photo contact widget or animated contact widget), the contacts won't have the facebook photo....but if I go in the contact list, those contacts correctly display the facebook photo, although of course if I go into the contact description, the contact itself has no photo, but it has only the '[email protected]' of facebook, synced to it.
Is there a way to make a proper sync? I don't want to use a photo for every contact...it would be just so easy to have everything working again like it was with HTC sense (everything automatic and synced).
Is that because the HTC facebook for sense is missing with cyanogen?
And also, do you have another ROM to advice? I am not sure i really prefer this cyanogen to the stock htc sense one....
i have the same problem with Cyanogen roms... is there a solution for this?
i have no idea...the way cyanogen manages the contacts looks really not that good...htc sense was way better.
anyway, the really weird thing is that now, among my contacts, everyone has the facebook photo but 3. 3 contacts seem they cannot sync the photo from facebook...i did it 3 times, i also reset the sync with facebook and then synced again....those 3 contacts just don't sync. i checked the names: 100% correct.
it is a bit annoying...sure not so important, but it is anyway annoying.

If the picture doesn't sync, try going to the facebook app and going to the person's facebook page. When the picture loads there, I noticed it also loads in my contact list.
As far as know, Facebook for HTC sense lets you sync contact photos, and remembers the link (in the comments). Facebook app only sync contacts that have their number shared in their profile, and you cannot manually create a link.
Cyanogen and Htc sense don't go together, so unfortunately you wouldn't be able to sync it the way you did with htc sense.

It will sync automatic as long as the name is the same. Thats why some are done and some are not.
Also if you edit a contact and then press menu then join if the name is similar it will show there facebook profile and you can join them.

I had a similar issue, and it seemed the problem was certain contacts who I'd previously (before I had the phone) assigned contact photos in Google Contacts. They were correctly linked to their Facebook accounts, but still showed the other photo. Solved it for each one by selecting 'edit contact' then scrolling right down to the end where it shows their facebook details, tap the photo there and select 'use this photo.' If the photo doesn't even show up in the 'edit' dialogue then I don't know.

Would you mind amending your original thread subject to reflect the fact this is about Facebook please? Many thanks in advance.

Hi everybody!
Yesterday I did a hard reset to get completely rid of CHT 2.0. After I linked my phone to my facebook account I waited for the pictures from my contacts to show up. Nothing happend! Therefore I checked whether the picture are visible in the contacts menu of sense. Also no pictures were seen there. Strange is that the amount of pictures for persons is shown, but instead of the images themselves I just see a stop-like sign. Does anybody else have this problem?
My rom version is: RUU_Photon_HTC_GER_1.36.407.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36
Okay, I found a solution!
Picture sync does obviously not work, when safe browsing in facebook is enabled. I switched of this option in facebook under account settings. That means you don't use facebook via https when you're online. Afterwards pictures were loaded as usual. For further information read:
