Hey everyone,
Just updated to Cm 6.1 on my aria, beautiful to say the least.
One problem:
I was joining all my contacts with their facebook acounts, but i noticed that i cannot have a picture for myself when texting someone.
When I text someone I see their facebook profile picture, but i dont have my contact picture in there.
Any way i could fix this?
not sure if its the same on cm6.1 but in sense, i have a "My contact card" and i have it associated with my facebook there. *shrugs*

Is anybody else having issues with Facebook contact pictures not all showing up throughout the phone (SMS, Contacts, etc)?
I'm running Kspec Komplete CyanogenMod beta 5, however it has been like this since beta 3.
I know all of my sync settings are correct because maybe... 1/8 of my contacts pictures are coming in, but I can't find any rhyme or reason for those particular ones showing up.
Any ideas?
This can't be specific to just my phone.
Nobody else is experiencing this?
I believe it has to do with the privacy settings on your contacts' facebook
I only have like 500 some-odd facebook contacts, but have it just displaying my gmail contacts that are also facebook friends (so a little over 100 phone numbers in my phone) and its always shown everyone's photo and updated just fine up until I jumped ship to root-town.
Hey everyone,
I've searched and haven't found anyone else complaining about this issue, wanted to see if anyone else had it:
Running DamageControl 2.08.1
I have 1 facebook friend/acquaintance that apparently has a single space entered for his mobile number. He's not listed in my google contacts at all, only a facebook friend.
Since the hero syncs contacts with facebook friends it looks like it thinks anyone with a blank number is this facebook friend. The result: Any phone calls from people with blocked caller id shows as this guys name. Also text messages from the USGS earthquake list come in as if they're from him as well.
The only solution I can think of is asking him to change his number on facebook or unfriend him. Has anyone found a way to sync facebook profiles with people in the google phone book only and not every facebook friend one has? Or a way to remove a single entry from the facebook syncd people?
Thanks for any ideas

I had this randomly happen. Not sure why or how and it only happened once. I can back you up and say it happened, I don't know any more :/
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.

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!
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.
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.
