Hello All,
Am new to HTC Android Phone. I have setup my contacts photos to be picked up from the respective Facebook Profiles. Although this happened the first time, if a contact changes the photo on facebook it is not getting updated in the phone? Is there a way to manually force an update??
Facebook sync is enabled (i guess once every 12 hours) and it has been several days since the contact updated the profile pic on FB.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I have the same problem, my contacts aren't updated >.<
Pretty annoying, but I have not found a way yet to fix it. Looks like a problem with facebook for android.
If anyone has more information, please tell us
It seems that the facebook sync method doesn't check if the facebook profile pic is updated or not. Probably to save network bandwidth and sync time. But it is kind of annoying that it is not updated.
I have exactly the opposite problem. The pictures assigned to my contacts in google keep getting updated with those in facebook. While I don't mind that for contacts that do not have pictures in Google, it is quite annoying for such that do.
i pressed the sync all widget and all my face book images updated
my legend is rooted and running the modaco rom tho

Strange that it works for you. Can't see how a root or new rom would change anything. I have the same problem, using stock unrooted rom. Kinda hoped it would be fixed with new update, but no luck
Contact Photo Update

Where is this "sync all" button? I am not able to find it. Is it something specific to the rom?

Oh! Thanks!
But it does not seem to solve my problem... The old FB photos are still stuck to the profile...

I was also facing the problem of getting updated display pic from facebook and thought that there wasn't anyway to solve.. until after i ran into the FriendStream problem.
My FriendStream started acting strange and refuses to update friends' status today, it force closes when i try to launch the application proper. After reading up online, I did what others suggested, remove the facebook account and re-add it to FriendStream.. It got my FriendStream working again, plus a bonus - it "re-linked" with all my contacts in People and updated their profile pics! =D
Might take a while for it to fetch all the display pics again though, so I'd recommend doing it with a WiFi connection
My facebook profile pics update but there is a major delay between 12 and 24 hours) even though facebook and friend screen update every 10 minutes
I have this issue too, it seems to come from the last OTA ROM update
my FB pictures don't updates, and worse, new FB contacts don't appear in my phone book. when I manually sync my FB account, there is a process that returns an error
the solution I found to force an update was to run friend stream, friends, facebook, menu, update
it takes some time

i know this is an old thread so hoping there was a better fix for this issue? terribly annoying
Doing a refresh in the friendstream app updates the photo in the app but not the contact photo
I have found no way to update the photos till now... have even tried unlinking the Facebook profile from the contact and readding - no use...
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
so there's no solution ..
I use SyncMyPix, it works well. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-nloko-android-syncmypix-qxEz.aspx
But I do hope that this gets fixed with a software update.
Cheers

I can't seem to upload any pictures capture by Touch HD camera onto FB or twitter .. I have no problem updating mails, FB or twitter.
Anyone else has similar problem ?
Any other alternative to the FB app from microsoft ? It seem to have many limitations
not sure if anyone else is having this issue..but after i updated to the ota 2.2 froyo, i noticed all my contacts used their old photos instead of the ones synced with facebook.... so does that mean i have to automatically go through each contact and click default picture to facebook???
i already deleted my fb accounts and redid it many times..restarted phone..same issue...fb wont auto sync the new photos as default, so i have to go through my contacts manually to use the updated fb pics...
That's odd. I'm not sure but I think the Facebook app's syncing is goofy.
For instance here's the hoops I had to jump through.
With original 2.1, I had used the integrated Facebook contact syncing to get pics synced to my contacts. And that worked no problem.
When DK28 came out, I took the opportunity to reset my phone and redo my contacts. This time I figured "hey, the actual Facebook app contact syncing should work good so I'll use that instead". And on the surface it did. In my contacts list the proper Facebook pic was on each contact. The problem was that any txts or phone calls I either sent or received, the photos were absent...just the generic blank silhouette. So I removed the Facebook contact sync from my accounts and went back to using the the Facebook syncing from the "Integrated contact accounts" once more and now photos are displaying in txt/phone properly.
Odd that the Facebook client syncing appeared on the surface to be fine but maybe this will help you or others trying to get this to work. In your case maybe the old pics still there show up with the Facebook client sync. Hopefully the integrated Facebook sync will clear it up for you.
Search the forums for this problem. It has been answered. I just am too lazy to find the post for ya.

I have a different problem with the FB app since upgrading to DK28, but I wasn't sure if it deserved its own thread.
I can no longer stay logged in to my account. It works the first time and then every subsequent time I open the app I have to re-enter my password.
Anyone else?

i tried..it didnt solve the problem..... like i mentioned i redid the facebook accounts and restarted phone etc...didnt work....
i think its from the exporting my contacts to sd card.... it saves the current picture before exporting..so perhaps i exported my contacts several times and it saved the same default picture under the phone settings... so when i integrated my facebook in 2.2, the old photos were showing..so i had to manually erase all of the old saved photos.... i couldnt find a way to automatically do it... if you still can find the posts/threads, please post it here
Is it me or are the contact photos synced from facebook (integrated Facebook sync or through Facebook app) are low resolution? Anyway we can fix this or is this just another issue with Google?
Hi community.
I think everything is in the title. Pictures of My contacts does not show up anymore. I tried reboot, erase all messages, clear data and cache of the app... It works with Handcent.
Pictures are in the contact app.
If someone understand .
Thanks.
Are these pictures from contacts synced with Facebook & Twitter? Or are they actual photos from your SD Card?
Both .
Some people on Facebook, others pictures from gallery...
Try removing the sync from Facebook & Twitter, reboot and then re-establish the sync.
Ok I do it now.
I will let you know if it worked.
Out of interest, are you using the stock android contacts app or HTC's people app?
It worked !
Thanks !
I don't understand what happened.
I used the HTC contact app.
hi i have already posted a similar thread to this one but didnt get any satisfactory answers or solutions, hopefully this time some one can HELP me
my Facebook (the HTC sense built in application facebook) does not download any pictures to my phone at all - no contact pictures or pictures from albums of my friends on facebook. even the FBcontact folder in windows is empty. my phone is sync with my facebook account, i dont have my contact sync with outlook so i dont see what is wrong with it. DOES ANY ONE KNOWS WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
also, my Twitter - the Peep app will not allow me to log in. every time i try to log in a window pops up that says that i have entered a wrong username and password wich i didnt. if i try to install the peep hotfix a window pops up again the says that the hot fix is not for my phone.
i have installed the lates vodafone ROM 1.41.161.1 WWE
i made HARD RESET once but nothing had changed
anybody knows what can i do to make it work again? if any ideas please reply
thanks
prob facebook : close FB app. go to default web browser (Opera or IE )and choose option enable view photo.go to FB app
prob nr 2 twitteer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13493262&postcount=8
thanks for ur reply mate
at least i know about the twitter now
the facebook still not working, though
Have you tried with a standard Web browser? eg. opera login to Facebook and see if there showing pictures? because I think the problem is in the settings
i dont think it is the web browser. not sure now if u know for sure what i was talking about. it is the BUILT IN SENSE FACEBOOK APP mate. when i go to all PEOPLE and try to link a contact with a facebook contact the picture will not be downloaded. it will show a down arrow wich is suppose to mean that the pic is being downloaded but this down arrow is ment to be in a ring or something. mine isnt. its just a down arrow wich dissaper after a second or two. just seems like the pic get lost somewhere in a 2nd dimension lol
the contacts are linked (phone and facebook) but the pics to them are missing. the same when i try to open a facebook album from a linked contact, the pic wont be shown, downloaded.
maybe u can try downloading the latest FB app, V1.1.0.26, search for it in the marketplace..
Facebook : disable https on your facebook account
Twitter : i have the same problem, the hot fix doesnt install. I wrote to htc and they said "try to uninstall and install it again"
I hope they release a fix for twitter and for https on facebook soon...
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH belannaer!
got all the pics now
wow you helped me so much! thank you!
