If I have a Facebook account and would like to keep my contacts linked... why can I not select Google as my picture source? The only option is Facebook. I want to use the pictures 'I' choose for my contacts, not their Facebook pics. I know the Incredible lets you select Google as the source of your pics.
I really don't want to keep my contacts un-linked.
Thanks guys.

I'm also trying to figure this one out. I also had the option to choose my pic source on my Evo 4g. It must be a HTC option.
Anyone know if its possible on the Droid x?
Im also trying to figure this out and also the display name some of my contacts are using their facebook nick name instead of the phone book name. it is very confusing and id like to also fix this as well.

Does anyone else have this problem (or a solution) but when I link my core contacts (from my Google account who all have their own headshot that I chose ages ago) and link it with Twitter (which seems to be fine) and/or link it with Facebook your Facebook Profile photo of said contact overpowers your default one? Even if I go into edit, and change the photo to tell it to use the "Google" one or even if I select an image from my phone's SD card it'll appear for a second but then Facebook's image over powers it... is this just me? Or if it's not, does anyone have a solution other than unlikning Facebook accounts to your existing contacts?
Thanks!
I think I have it now. I think it was the fault of the old Touch Pro2 I used to have as the <HTC DATA> stuff in the "Notes" of some contacts was lengthy...
thats good to know, just in case anyone else runs into this we have a solution
I have this same problem on a new desire z - not had android before. I pick a photo from the gallery but a few mins later the crappy res facebook one takes over.
Would love to know how to fix it.

Update... My idea worked, until Facebook did it's hourly sync from my phone! Back to square one!
Having done a bit of a google, im not sure theres a fix for this. Hopefully will come with 2.3.

I have a solution, I'll post it in a few hours when I'm back from university!
Create a "phone" contact with the same name (or similar), give that contact the nice sized picture from your phone, then link it with your Google/Facebook accounts, let your phone "sync" to these services once, then go in, edit contact and select the "Phone" picture from the menu and regardless of how many times you sync it won't overpower your default (large) phone contact picture...
Nice workaround - but hopefully 2.3 will fix it properly.

Agreed!

Hello!
Search produced nothing, so here I go - I want software that provides sense-like integration for non-sense builds. What I really care about are contact pics.
I tried Facebook app, but
1. It will miss most of the contacts, because my contacts are in Cyrillic, but FB are in Latin... although this in just annoyance and could be fixed with 2-3 hours free time spared.
2. Problem 2 is more significant for me - even if a contact is linked, dialer still shows gmail account pic, or no pic at all (even if the contact is linked with FB and has a FB pic showing)
3. Nice addition will be if someone proposes a cool contact app which manages contact groups( Google should add at least this to upcoming Android versions)
SyncMyPix does what I want

If you are using the htc facebook application from the market, it should ask you at the first start, if and how you want to sync your contacts.
After first start, you can configure it under settings-> sync contacts.
..but syncMyPics should also work.
I have htc facebook on my DHD but it seems I cannot find it in the market and download it for some reason. I know it happens. To be honest, SyncMyPix does the job even better, cos it writes down all images into contact pic place and nothing more, and I don't get all the unknown facebook contacts to bloath my contact book
I would like to see a download link to htc facebook sync though

There is no htc facebook in market, only facebook for android.

So it is not my fault, then. The stock FB app cannot provide the functionality Sense does... SyncMyPix then...
I was running cyanogenmod, but I missed the ability to match contact suggestions.
The dialer too obviously, I know I can use an alternative dialer for this.
If there is a matched contacts method or app, I can dump sense for good.

Bump in the night.
You tried the facebook for android app? twitter app? They synch the contacts pictures and numbers off facebook and twitter, google account would have hopefully backed up your contacts as well so it will pull it from there as well, thats the same as matched contacts (Y) all matched contacts was,
TL;DR download facebook app from market, install, just go to account settings and add an account and make it a facebook one
?????
profit.
I have people such as my brother who have different names on facebook and twitter. This gives me two contacts where I want one.
Have you tried Gibt contacts? I remember it offers some kind of contact merging...

Gah... curse you, Auto correction. I meant Go contacts... should be included in Go dialer...

Hey guys,
Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.

what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb

go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...
Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.
Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.
Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.
MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

Plain thanks for the info. Didnt realized after edit there was another sub menu to select join.

I just purchased the GS3 and love it! I did a sync with my facebook app and only added with existing contacts but it now shows ALL my facebook friends. Is there a way to fix this? Also the pictures that sync from facebook to this phone are all pixelated and not clear like on my Sensation. Besides that, this phone is awesome! Is there anyway to fix these isses?

Use haxsync app. Its not free but works the best. after install go to settings> account and sync, then sync contacts. When you use this make sure to delete the Facebook syncing so it doesn't conflict with it. You will still find some duplicate with haxsync but not as many and you can join duplicate ones. This is the closest were gonna get to HTCs fb contact migration. And the contact pics are higher resolution.

If you want to use the sync feature through the Facebook app, the only way I have found for it not to add ALL contacts, is to use an older version. 1.8.1 is the newest one I have found where "sync with existing" actually works. Still going to be pixelated though. If you don't want it pixelated I would suggest an app like the one suggested above or something like syncmypix.

I use Facebook contact Sync. You can choose the size of the contact pictures, sync all or only existing, and it's free. It also updates statuses for your contacts.
