Hello, everyone!
I've owned the Wildfire for a bit over a month now. I really love the phone and all the features and the possibilities. Also this community has been very helpful in resolving a few issues I've had so far.
Yet, there's one annoying little thing, that keeps catching my eye almost every time I make a phone call. You know what I mean - the Facebook logo in the corner of the contact's profile picture. My question is: Is there any way to remove the Facebook logo from the profile picture of a contact without removing the picture itself or unlinking the profile from Facebook?
Cheers!
If the picture of the contact is taken from one's FB account, then no, but you can add a picture to that contact independently from FB (from camera or gallery), without unlinking it.

Hi All,
My desire is set to use only gmail contacts list in PEOPLE (checked and doubledhecked, facebook is NOT ticked)
However, when i click the phone button to make a call the list that appears behind the 0-9 keys contains my facebook contacts as well as my gmail contacts.
I've looked far and wide to be able to disable the facebook contacts with number to display behind the 0-9 keys but without success..
Bear in mind I still want to sync facebook notifications, just NOT contact list.
Could you please guide me the right way on this?
TL;DR Facebook contacts behind 0-9 keys, I only want PEOPLE in that list.
Thanks
EDIT: SOLVED, removed the FriendStream widget.
no solution at this time that i know of other than to NOT sync them in the first place, but as that is not what you want, there is no solution for your case.
the view option in people only hides them in people, not anywhere else.
Now yes, this is a damn stupid state of affairs, but it's what we're currently stuck with.
Anyway you can sync the facebook contacts w/ the x10 phonebook??

Nope fraid not
Yeah I tried everything, even online at Sony Ericsson sync's website. I matched up all my phone contacts with their corresponding facebook profiles (took a while), but this actually accomplished nothing on my X10. No updates, no extra contact info or photos synchronized, nothing.
You can link contacts on the device itself to their fb accounts and get status updates within the Dialer app and a facebook tab on a contact’s info page, but that’s it and it takes a LONG time because you have to scroll through EVERYONE you have on facebook to match them up, no way to skip to letters.
Thanks a lot guys, had to make sure

Agree - facebook integration needs to be solved.
It should be relatively easy to program the contact list app to suggest the facebook contact with the most similar name...
I know that Desire automatically connects phone and facebook contact list (though, it makes a few mistakes). Do you know if that's android 2.1 or HTC?
no idea why to link with facebook/twitter contacts anyways if information can't be synced.
it should save phone number field on facebook to the X10 phonebook ..then it ll be awesome
In Timescape, when a user posts an update (be it Facebook or Twitter) press the infinity symbol in the top right of the update. It will then ask you to link to your contact.
There is a bar down the right hand side of the contacts screen that just has the alphabet shown in it, pressing anywhere in here will take you to that letter, meaning you can add Tom to Tom quite quickly by pressing T.
Then in your phone book you will have a picture, a facebook/twitter update and their normal information like phone number/address etc.
Downside is, you still have to go through one-by-one and if you have friends who don't update Facebook, you can't add their pic to the phone book.
Sorry, pictures don't add still.
My bad.
Download "facebook sync" from the android app store.. Works a treat.
Ooor, just add the folder Facebook phonebook to your homescreen. Longpress on an empy area and press folder, Facebook phonebook!
Facebook Pics
Curious every app I try - I find that the picture QUALITY is horrible. So I have downloaded all the pics manual and gone into each contact to crop them from a higher resolution... Anyone found a faster/easier walkaround?
Thanx
Don't waste your time trying to.
You can do it via "link profile" if you have your facebook a/c setup but the pics don't sync only status updates.
Full functionality was introduced in 2.1 which updates pics and numbers etc with your friends when linked on facebook (and it links the profiles/phonebook automatically if you choose).
Just hangfire, or use SyncmyPix (market) for free, which syncs the pics.
First of all, sry if this is posted somwhere but doing severall search and nothing come out.
Sync Facebook to contacts, and Galaxy is doing some weird things to the contact pictures picked up from Facebook, shrinking or expanding to fit the total resolution available.
Leaving ppl with a really strange look, either to thin or to large.
Even in Samsung app Friends Now is happening the same. Or if you had a shortcut of a contact to UI.
My question, is it possible to prevent SGS to Stretch/Skew this pictures...?
Thanks in advance.
Strange to see close to 100 views and no one claiming to have same issue.
If someone as same problem pls reply.
Brgds
It fits the images to a certain box. That is how it works.
Dont know anything more helpful. Anoying yes but I havent really thought about it
Same here, images get stretched to fit the box. Annoying indeed. One fix would be creating a local contact and linking it to the facebook contact, then download a picture from the facebook site and add it to the local contact. That way the local picture will show up. I wish the phone did this automatically though.
Also, how come there's no "set as contact picture" option in the browser or in Facebook S? Cmon, it's a must feature!
UPDATE: I got excited too early thinking the problem is fixed. It's just the google sync took too long. So, we still have to use magnifying glasses to view the tiny useless image for caller id picture.
One of my favorite feature on SE android phones is how uniquely it displays contact image while dialing or incoming call. That got messed up in previous update.
Now, it looks fine and the google image is not over writing the image selected on phone.
I've still got the problem in 2.3.4, in case the phone book is sync with Google contacts.
How to fix the problem??

The problem is still present in this update.
Tried using high res pics for my contacts.
Auto sync to Google contacts is enabled.
Viewed my contacts after the sync and picture size returned to low resolution.
Now I removed the check mark on "Sync Contacts" for a temporary solution and backed up the contacts on my desktop.
Sigh.
In my current 2.3.3 fw, the contact pictures do not have this problem if you go into album, select a picture, click on options and set it as caller image. However, if you go into your contact list and change the caller image by editing contact info, this problem comes up. Either way it's still too much hassle setting caller image for every contact in the phonebook. I'll bear with the tiny photo sync-ed with Facebook for now.

I waited for more than a minute and the high res image stayed. Must be some slow sync at that time. You are right it doesn't work even if you set contact picture form gallery instead of setting from Contacts - Edit.

If that worked in 2.3.3, it doesn't any more in 2.3.4.
I have solved this by adding the contact person manually as internal contact and not google contact. If you give it the same name it will automatically be linked to the google contact, you do not have to add any phone numbers, just an empty contact with the same name. This contact will have priority over the google contact and added highres pictures to the internal contact will be used instead of the small google/facebook contact.
I can see some reason to this, if you have 1MB pictures on over 100 contacts and you sync them all, that will cost allot for those who do not have unlimited data. Many users are not technically enough to be aware of this when setting up their new phone with a google contact, this could lead to allot of unhappy customers/users with huge bills just by synchonizing their contacts.
The other issue would be the huge cost of internal memory having 100MB consumed just to store high res pictures for 100+ contacts and time it might take to synchronize.
It might take some time to do this manually but once done the pictures will stay for the contacts. I do not mind this workaround to have high res pictures, but can see it might be a big hassle for those few how often reset their phones and would have to set everything up again and again.
Do any of you know where the contact pictures are stored? I would think the internal memory but I am not sure, I am only using high res pictures on a few of my contacts.
Use Sony sync for contacts and your images will remain the same.

Don't worry this firmware is just a middle version the "full" version will come in october till november so there is still a chance to fix :]
anyone else spotted anything else exept contacts?
This problem is back in the ICS(at least the Arconium 2.2 ICS) The callerID is ok if I use facebook contacs sync app from play store. But the main Sheet of contact info is different. It only has this cmall little useless picture on the top left. I want the faded almost full screen like picture back. Any ideas?
this isn't a bug with the sony firmware it is a google contacts sync problem there is a bug filed on it in the google code group but after 10 min of searching i couldn't find it
Pvy.
Hi everybody!
Yesterday I did a hard reset to get completely rid of CHT 2.0. After I linked my phone to my facebook account I waited for the pictures from my contacts to show up. Nothing happend! Therefore I checked whether the picture are visible in the contacts menu of sense. Also no pictures were seen there. Strange is that the amount of pictures for persons is shown, but instead of the images themselves I just see a stop-like sign. Does anybody else have this problem?
My rom version is: RUU_Photon_HTC_GER_1.36.407.1_Radio_Signed_32.2803.05.06_0.63.05.36
Okay, I found a solution!
Picture sync does obviously not work, when safe browsing in facebook is enabled. I switched of this option in facebook under account settings. That means you don't use facebook via https when you're online. Afterwards pictures were loaded as usual. For further information read:
