I have my contacts synced along with pictures for those contacts, main ones are on linked to google and other pics are linked from facebook. I can see all of the pics in contacts, but none in the messaging app. It was working fine until I installed shapewriter, but I have since uninstalled that app and none of the pics are showing. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
Mine does that until I go to the contacts app. It seems like my contacts have to refresh before pics show up in the messaging app.

Notxel posted a fix for that in the Iced Glacier thread that worked for me. If you go into application management, click all, find contacts and contact storage, clear data in both, then after your phone really syncs, it should be fixed. Hope this helps...

worked for me too, except after i got my facebook account to finally link to my contact card, all the contacts in my messages decided to unlink themselves from their respective facebook accounts... Re-linked them and all is well... weird

So i got fed up with widgets and google voice not showing contact pics. So i removed my facebook and twitter account. But there is still no pictures where before when i would unlink a contact the pic would start working. But none of them work in these apps. I've tried resyncing the google contacts and still no pictures. What can i do short of wiping my phone? thanks

So this what i did to kinda fix the problem.
I noticed when i logged into my facebook account it would start loading up all the pics from my google acount (which is what i want) once it was done with that it started to replace them with facebook images which would make the widgets and google voice go blank again. So i just logged into facebook and waited till most of my pctures showed up then removed the facebook account partway through the sync. Now i have my google contact pictures in voice. Well most of them anyway. I guess it will do for now untill i can figure out a way to manually control these pictures. Damn u motoblur

If the pictures are from facebook they will only show up on your contacts. third party software cannot access facebook data, which is a decision made by facebook. It is not motoblur related.

Ah that makes sense but it doesn't explain my orginal problem that now that i've removed the facebook account none of those apps have any pictures (even though i do have pics with my google account) if i could just get those back and working fully id be happy

Maybe remove your google account and facebook account to try and clear all your contacts. Then re add your google acct and not the facebook account. Im not too sure.
Im not even sure if you can remove the google acct.

Nah i tried removing my google account its the master account and it told me to do a format in the system options. Im almost considering it but i need to get all the apps i want all orginized so it doesn't take me forever to reinstall.
I figure by now someone would have made an app or be a menu in the system for controlling contact pictures. It seems the mtoblur sync for facebook (because the offical facebook account can't be used on the droid x) and once its synced just says its the contact pictures now and doesn't give any option not to turn it off. I really do like the status updates when people call but id rather be able to see contact pictures on my homescreen.

Try syncmypix app
already formated but maybe i'll look at that app this time around for syncing some of my pictures, do you guys know of anyway that I could sign into the facebook moto blur account and not have picture synced? because isn't that the only program that will show me status updates when someone calls?
The contact pics have disappeared in my sms's. It's not a facebook issue as I've removed all facebook apk's and odex's.
Anyone know a fix?

There is a thread about 10 places down from this one, try the possible fix from that one.
Thanks for your reply but no luck. Htc apps suck. I'm gonna try to find the 2.2 sms app and install it because it all works fine with cyanogenmod rom, just not the stock rom.

Solved.. removed htc sense account. Saved contacts to sd. Deleted contacts in google webmail. Synced from phone then restored contacts from sd and left sense account removed.
All down to htc sense. Pain in the nuts.

I recently got this as my first android phone. My friend convinced me to perma-root this phone and I did. I now have CyanogenMod 7. However, a few things are bothering me. My calender is not syncing up correctly for some reason, and my contacts book looks so much more dull without the facebook links and their statuses under their names, as it did with the original interface/operating system I was using (stock that was loaded with HTC stuff).
Are there any apps that compensate or do the same thing as that friend linker?
Thank you
Assuming you mean linking you calendar with Gmail, this is a known issue. Go to settings, applications, all, Gmail, then clear data. You wont lose your emails as they're in the cloud and it should remedy your problem.

Link your Facebook account under accounts then go to contacts -> settings -> display options then click show the fb contacts.

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...

I am currently on cm7 rc3 and before I downloaded this I had all my contacts linked to facebook but now when I go to my contacts it shows notes next to there name something like <htc data><facebook>id and alot of numbers. I have tried photo unlocker even dialer one but still does not give me the option to link contacts I also do have the facebook app. In my phone and did the sync setting with facebook and still nothing. When I used photo unlocker it did unlock about 3 contacts pics and facebook info. I just liked seeing all my facebook pics in phone book has anyone else ran into this problem and been able to fix it.
Google stopped the Facebook link in 2.3.3

Not sure how well this would work being CM7 doesn't have HTC Sence but you could try installing the "Facebook for mytouch 1.0" apk thats in the stock T-Mo ROM i know thats the APP for stock that updates the linked contacts. Just make your you backup your everything in case it screw up your rom
Thanks a lot but I downloaded Easy sync and it worked great for syncing my facebook contact's it's a paid app but it was well worth it.
