I have noticed that my profile is displaying wrong picture, which is very annoying. When I text with people I see some picture of some other guy, instead of me
Now I am wondering where contact pictures are stored so I can manually delete them and sync with the Facebook again.
Or if there is any other workaround...
Thank you!

Hi,
how do i make the picture i use in GMail for a contact take precedence over the facebook contact picture?
also I've noticed sometimes my friends on facebook will change their profile picture but it never changes on my phone. Any ideas here?
thanks!
Make sure facebook sync is setup in the android settings for pictures to be updated

yep, did that.
you may (probably) have to do it contact by contact, but if you go into contacts, pick the person who's photo you want to change (assuming you had a photo of them before, that was synced to gmail's contacts). go to their contact info, hit menu>edit contact. click on their photo, which should be the gmail photo. select "use this photo". it will override the facebook synced photo in your contact list.
Is there a way to pull pictures from Facebook for contacts (like on Droid phones?)...everytime I get an email I see the blank contact photo and would like to have their actual photo instead...
I think it depends on the person who's sending the email. The only time I see anything other than the stock picture is when my wife sends an email from her Gmail account b/c she has a profile picture defined. Does that make sense? I don't know if there's any way to associate your contacts with picture YOU choose but now I'm intrigued and will check!
EDIT: When you go into contacts you can add photos to your contacts. You should try if that does what you want.
Most people use SyncMyPix from the market. It works most of the time..lol

1st of all, I like HTC Sense feature to link all contacts together. But there is a problem.
When I have a Google contact WITH picture linked to Facebook contact W/O picture, every time Sync happens - it defaults to contact's FACEBOOK profile (which has no picture assigned). That means that this contact now has NO picture to show.
Sure I can go to Contact details, edit it and assign Google's picture to that contact. Until next Sync
This is really annoying. Any solution, trick, etc ? Except NOT using Sense
Not much you can do about that except tell this person to add a Facebook profile picture?
I though may be there is some sort of a trick which I dont know about
I have Google+ synchronizing with my contact list as it fills in a lot of pictures that I don't have for contacts. However, for one contact, I have a much better quality picture of them I would like to use. If I set the picture as their contact photo however, it doesn't change - the Google+ one remains. If I edit the contact I can see that locally the picture is being saved correctly, but the phone appears to be choosing to use the Google+ picture anyway. How do I make the phone choose what I've locally saved instead?

Obviously you can either chose to use G+ or your phone contact pictures, not preferably one from here and one from there.
But why not just sign into your gmail and manage your G+ photos and replace the low res one with the one you like, sync and you're done.
Go to google . com / contacts and set the picture there.
Right, so I removed the locally stored contact picture and instead went to my Google Contacts and updated it there, and when it synced back to the phone, it still uses the Google+ picture instead of the picture I want. The only way I can stop this is to disable Google+ contact sync, but then I lose a lot of pictures for my other contacts.
open your contact, hit menu, then select "Mark as default"
you can then choose which one you want

Thanks! Is there a way I can reset this setting if I'd like to in the future?
This is annoying me a little, wondering if anyone can help.
My Facebook contacts are linked to my google contacts, and when first done the pictures automatically updated my google contact images.
However, now when somebody updates their facebook photo, the new photo is synced to the phone (can see it if you go and try to edit a contact, in the facebook tab) but it doesn't overwrite the google contact photo (The old facebook photo), which is still shown in phonebook/messaging as default.
Any way to stop this happening, and always show the latest facebook photo?
