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

Hi,
Does anyone else have issues with Timescape saying it is unable to connect to the Internet to get Facebook updates (shown in the Notification panel up top)? However, the Timescape panels all get updated with the latest Facebook news.
I do actually get Facebook updates in Timescape and the Internet connection is fine for me when browsing and for other Internet-based widgets. It's just the annoying warning up top in the notification bar about Facebook updates failing.
I've tried deleting my Facebook account on the X10 and then redoing the set-up. No luck... still get that annoying notification warning about Facebook not being able to connect to the Internet for updates when I go into Timescape.
Anyone else get this problem?
I'm experiencing the same.
yup same here.
i posted a similar thread also i think
it says failed to log in in Timescape
I have same problem on two Xperia X10s.
Timescape does update facebook but alway gets error.
Has anyone found a solution (that works) yet?
Yup same here..... i had this error from 2 weeks ago... So much for Sony's crappy "TIMESCAPE"
Rooted X10i (R2BA020), Indonesia
Why my contacts with a facebook profile associated do not get updated anymore? After a few searches I understand this is due to new fb security policy: is this true? Any solution?

Hi,
I've not been able to update my Facebook app since "The Great Facebook Crash of 2010" that happened on the 23rd
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11403897
I'd wait until Facebook announces that its working before doing anything to your phone.
just log out and log in again. hapnd to me too.
Unfortunately I have to log out and back in every time I want to upload something. I think I am just about done with Windows Mobile.
facebook uploading
Same problem here!When i need to upload something i have to logout and that back again,but i think this is not a problem to the Operaiting system itself,just the facebook application for these devices is not working like should be.But anyway,if some of the Android users could share some info here about this application,is there any problems like this,that would be very nice!
Hi everyone,
Is anyone experiencing problems with not getting notifications from facebook?
I can't see whether anyone has written unless I open the fb application.
Has anybody experienced such problems?

I don't use the facebook app on my phone, but I would download Light manager from the play store and use it instead. I had the same problem with the Y! Mail app and light manager helps. Try the facebook app setting and make sure notification is enabled.

I have experienced, not with Facebook, don't use out, but with G+.
I'm thinking out has less to do with the phone, although it's worst, but instead some Google update because my previous device did it too. Even with SMS.

It works fine here. Check and make sure the Notification is enabled in FB settings. Also I hope you're not using any TasK Manager that aggressively close FB.
Found it. The solution was obviouse, but it worked on Galaxy S4 which I switched to G2 from I thought it is a device problem.
The reason was multiple sessions opened in facebook. Which also means that you will not have fb apps properly working on two Android phones.
