I haven't had that issue. The closest thing is when you log in from your sense tab, it will download the picture to your contacts (if you have friends numbers loaded into your contacts and you reference them with their facebook account.)
If you go into your contacts and un-associate their facebook page with their contact info that should clear some of it up.

Hey guys
I tried searching the forums, but found nothing on this. I'm looking to refresh all the facebook photos that are used in the sense contacts. I have done the link/unlink and sign out of facebook for sense in the past, but these get annoying because I then have to relink all the accounts. Now that I have root, is it possible to clear a cache of these photos somewhere so that they refresh? I'm really trying to avoid having to re-link so many accounts again.
Thanks
.
I was wondering the same thing, myself
Yeah, that **** doesn't update at all.
They are also pixelated as ****.
Well this kept bugging me too, but I just keep doing the sign out of facebook and resign in trick...
I don't know why this would unlink all your contacts to their facebook accounts, as whenever I sign out and sign back in, nothing changes except the contact pictures...
I also am not deleting the account then creating a new one if that helps...
If you have the contacts backed up to Google remove the face book account then clear contact storage under manage applications then re-sync Google then re add Facebook. Hope that helps.

It has something to do with Friend Stream and the way things are linked with it.
I know I have done it before and when I choose refresh it does go out and update their Contact photo's to their latest Facebook photo.
I just sat here playing with it and I can get them to update as long as they are linked. However if you have a photo saved into an Outlook contact, it will not update, it will force to what Outlook has set. (I know this is true for Exchange, but not sure if it is same for a Desktop Sync)
Hope this helps !

If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to
People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh.

I second this... What is really weird is my wife doesn't have this problem, all of her contacts sync perfectly, it definitely frustrates me lol.
Refreshing them through the facebook directory only refreshed them in that screen, not in my normal contact list. The app was a great suggestion though, thanks!

What I found is that once you scroll over a contact it will add them to the 'to update' list. So if you scroll through your contacts when refreshing then it will update them all ----very slowly though.
In sense I was used to have all my contacts shown with their facebook information within their phone numbers (I just need to pair them first on winmo).
I tried some sense Android build and I still have all the number connected to my facebook account, now I put on a senseless build that is 10 time faster so I'd like not go back to sense, but I miss that function, to have facebook pictures of friend, and birthday and their updates all bound to phone numbers..
All I have now is a contact list with my own names (they are not listed with name/surname) with phone numbers and all real names from facebook without numbers and only the email.
Is it possible to merge them again like in the sense contact list? someone knows how to do that?
thanks for reading
Please help someone.... i need an answer too....
Short answer: no
Long answer: In pursuit of same solution, the best i came up was to merge facebook with gmail, leaving out facebook in the phone alone. There's few ways to do it, but the easiest and most reliable I found, was to get yourself yahoo.com mail, pull facebook contacts into it using the integrated tool that they have (gmail should make one too :/) and then merge it back into gmail using gmail tools. This method however leaves out pictures. So to rectify that, get yourself a free app on market called "SyncMyPix". It will match your (now updated) contacts to facebook and get pictures. It's not perfect - resolution is smaller and you get F in the corner (Facebook F), but it works.

Edit Contact -> Join/Merge (Cant remember)... I join/merge my saved contacts with facebook contacts always. Using senseless build.

Well, that was a suprice find, thanks Edit contact->Windows hardware button->Join is the actual path.
Always thought XDA was the best!

That about sums up what i did. The pictures dont matter. Once you put the combined contact info together then import in gmail, open the facebook app and sync all, the pics then show up on the phone in contacts.

Nice find, guys! I've been looking for this for a loooong time.
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?
I have Launcher Pro (paid ver) on my Fascinate.
I have sync'd all my pictures on FB to my contacts in the phone.
The phone contact list shows all the right pics.
My contacts are Gmail based, not phone based.
In my People widget the only pics that show are those who have gmail pics.
In my SMS app, it also only shows pics for those who have gmail pics.
What am I missing to get the FB pics that are displaying in contacts to show elsewhere?
...................
edit: use the app 'SyncMyPix' from the market. See below...
You need to go to each individual contact and merge them with Facebook. Additionally you will need to select each contact select edit and select the pic and choose remove icon. After doing this and saving the Facebook pic will be the one thats used not the gmail pic. I also had this issue which is how I discovered that this needed to be done, however I have found no easier way to complete this.

Well that's kinda annoying. I'd figure it would some way of using what ever pic was available, maybe Gmail first, then others. I'll check it out and report back. thx!
EDIT: Wait, if I select the FB image and then choose 'remove icon' doesn't that just delete the use of that image entirely? How would this fix my issue? Do you mean I need to save everyone's FB pic to my gallery and then set it as the image of the main contact?
Well figured out a good solution.
It appears there was no easy way to make anything outside of the actual contacts list show your FB pic after sync.
So I found this app that copies all your FB friends pics to their corresponding gmail contact image on your phone.
SyncMyPix
It worked perfectly on my phone and I was able to actually remove syncing my FB contacts all together. Which is good as that's less stuff going on.
Have no clue what Xanaki was talking about above btw, but this app works well and its free. You can even go Friend by friend to link to specific contacts if it doesn't auto match them due to you having a nickname in your list or something.
I now have it scheduled to run weekly to keep it all up to date.
I believed it was something about the Facebook API or something not allowing other applications to sync Facebook contacts.

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.
