my fb pictures from my contacts aren't loading up. well some did, but not all...
I tried manually adding/linking contacts from the contact page, but they don't come with pictures either... I disabled fb sync (both of them) and re-ejnable them, but nogo...
any idea how I can pull them up again?
I'm running latest Bonsai4all on EXT4
For a while I had to use a third party app from the market to get fb syncing to work. I believe the app was called simply "fb sync". Not sure now as syncing started working when I updated to froyo so I uninstalled. Lemme know if you can't find it and I'll dig around for it.

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 problem is that touchwiz has integrated facebook and system does not even recognize facebook app and therefore u end up with 2 separated apps that don't work together.
the facebook app from the market works fine, including sync (as of the update today)
go into facebook, settings, sync settings
The facebook app from the market is working fine for me as well, use it all the time, never had an issue with syncing on it yet. Good luck.
The facebook Touchwiz app is from samsung and has nothing to do with the Facebook app from the app store.
What TouchWiz app? You mean the feed widget? Why do you even use that? It's useless to begin with. Try the fb app from the market.

Facebook is integrated in touchwiz and works fine, syncs evens and contacts. Facebook app from market also work fine BUT when u enable sync there I get 2 extra linked contacts for every facebook contact that I already have. So the app and touchwiz don't work together and I had to disable app syncing....even under account you get 2 facebook entries
Just tested and removed integrated account and app sync didn't work correctly. I ended up without pictures, and 2 more Unknown entries. If you disable app sync and enable intergated then things work, but you are stuck with 2 facebook accounts in phone instead of one, and does have to sync updates.....
Do any of you had problem syncing contacts from facebook after the OTA J16 update?
I had this problem too, FB wouldn't sync so I didn't have contact pictures for any of my contacts. I removed my account, added it again, forced resync a few times, rebooted the phone and nothing seemed to work. Then, like an hour later it synced. Seems to be working fine except I have one contact tha has the wrong profiles picture shown and I can't figure out how to fix that.
@deadpass, do you have facebook for android installed? I have that installed and have the widget for launcher pro as well.

I do, the widget is on one of my home pages and it updates fine. I just removed and readded by FB account and all the pictures sync again, but I still have the one contact that has the incorrect picture.
Fb and twitter sync is completely norked on my phone. I meed to get a netbook soon cause these smartphones are wholly unreliable, imo.

Whenever i try to sync my facebook account or go into my contacts i get the error "the process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I get this everytime. What does this mean and how can i fix it? Thanks in advance!!!
if you removed the twlauncher that is your problem. the facebook under the intergraded contacts is tied into tw. I have a facebook under other accounts that I can never get to open so I just do with out linked contacts lol
Sent from my Samsung Fascinate using XDA App
lol yeah i put tw back on and all is well now
So, if you remove TWlauncher, does that mean you loose the ability to sync facebook contacts to google contacts?
yes via the integrated facebook contacts

This just started for me too, but I couldn't figure out what was causing it. How can I disable the Facebook syncing attempts that cause this? Is removing the Facebook sync account enough, or do I have to disable another apk as well?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
just uncheck contacts under the facebook account in settings or remove the sync account all together

Actually, scratch that. Ever since I got a replacement Fascinate, the integrated Facebook syncing refused to sync my Facebook contacts. I tried everything possible, but it wouldn't work. Since it wouldnt work anyway, I figured I'd just disable it along with TW, but I decided to enable the TW launcher again, and now I see it's syncing properly now. Go figure. Well, since it's working now, I guess I'll just leave TW enabled, since I want my Facebook contacts to sync.

not sure if anyone else is having this issue..but after i updated to the ota 2.2 froyo, i noticed all my contacts used their old photos instead of the ones synced with facebook.... so does that mean i have to automatically go through each contact and click default picture to facebook???
i already deleted my fb accounts and redid it many times..restarted phone..same issue...fb wont auto sync the new photos as default, so i have to go through my contacts manually to use the updated fb pics...
That's odd. I'm not sure but I think the Facebook app's syncing is goofy.
For instance here's the hoops I had to jump through.
With original 2.1, I had used the integrated Facebook contact syncing to get pics synced to my contacts. And that worked no problem.
When DK28 came out, I took the opportunity to reset my phone and redo my contacts. This time I figured "hey, the actual Facebook app contact syncing should work good so I'll use that instead". And on the surface it did. In my contacts list the proper Facebook pic was on each contact. The problem was that any txts or phone calls I either sent or received, the photos were absent...just the generic blank silhouette. So I removed the Facebook contact sync from my accounts and went back to using the the Facebook syncing from the "Integrated contact accounts" once more and now photos are displaying in txt/phone properly.
Odd that the Facebook client syncing appeared on the surface to be fine but maybe this will help you or others trying to get this to work. In your case maybe the old pics still there show up with the Facebook client sync. Hopefully the integrated Facebook sync will clear it up for you.
Search the forums for this problem. It has been answered. I just am too lazy to find the post for ya.

I have a different problem with the FB app since upgrading to DK28, but I wasn't sure if it deserved its own thread.
I can no longer stay logged in to my account. It works the first time and then every subsequent time I open the app I have to re-enter my password.
Anyone else?

i tried..it didnt solve the problem..... like i mentioned i redid the facebook accounts and restarted phone etc...didnt work....
i think its from the exporting my contacts to sd card.... it saves the current picture before exporting..so perhaps i exported my contacts several times and it saved the same default picture under the phone settings... so when i integrated my facebook in 2.2, the old photos were showing..so i had to manually erase all of the old saved photos.... i couldnt find a way to automatically do it... if you still can find the posts/threads, please post it here
Is it me or are the contact photos synced from facebook (integrated Facebook sync or through Facebook app) are low resolution? Anyway we can fix this or is this just another issue with Google?
