I have android gingerbread running on my HD2, I have my facebook contacts synced which is great, but how do I assisign my profile? I.e In text messeging, it has the contacts face book picture, but for me its just a grey box. How do I get my profile picture to show up there?
I got it by adding myself as a contact on the phone. And it should sync to your facebook profile. The phone knows its "you" by the phone number

Hey everyone,
In the old custom roms with facebook integration, when you synced a contact it automatically set their picture to the facebook profile picture. For me this was very handy as most of my contacts have a facebook account. In the new ROMs with facebook integration, if seems as though you have to set the profile picture yourself which is very tedious for 100 contacts (although I love how you can sync all the contacts at once now instead of going one by one). My question, is there anyway, whether a reg tweak or some option that I missed, which would automatically set a profile pic to the facebook picture?
Much thanks
try booksync....
booksync
u can get it from here
http://www.booksync.co.uk/
also i have found syncing one contact at the time works. quite time consuming....but it works, also their status updates.
ok i have all my contacts linked to my Gmail account so i can transfer from phone to phone...it's been successful going from the BB 8900 to the HTC Tilt 2 and finally to the HTC Aria. 90% of them are contacts that are linked to my facebook account...ie friends contact pictures changes as they update their facebook profile pic.
but what i've recognized having this benefit is that when fwding or composing email in the Gmail app...it pulls the email address and phone number of everyone in my facebook friends list. folks i don't care to or ever will contact, that are not in my Gmail contact list. this makes for even a longer list of names to scroll through..especially using common letters as A or C..etc.
is there a way to turn to this off? i mean only have the Gmail email app pull contacts from ONLY my gmail contact list/those contacts listed on my phone only.
Also interested if there is a working solution to this, for similar annoyance.
Contacts: I loved the sense contacts (People) app. I liked that I can assign a facebook account for each contact. I used it for getting my contacts' facebook profile pic as their display pic. worked fairly simple and if a user updates his profile facebook pic, his/her contact pic is also changed. I didn't use the other functions of Sense's facebook integration though. The status updates was poorly implemented and displays "this person has updated their facebook profile" for whatever that friend does on facebook.
Now with vanilla , the sync with all contacts that the official facebook app offers doesn't work as I want, cause:
- I have some facebook friends that I don't want them as contacts in my phone. facebook will always sync the contact if he/she has a phone number in their profile. Which, for some friends, I don't want.
- If the same person has different names in facebook and in my contacts list, I won't get his picture.
So, is their a way to fix this sync issue?
Or, can I get the sense Dailer/People app in vanilla?
Or, Is there a good alternative in the market?
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!
Hi all,
I've just moved from an HTC One X to an S4 and am setting everything up like how I want it, one thing I cant figure out which was relatively simple on the One X is the management/syncing of contacts and their associated accounts.
I have set the phone to display my Google contacts and each contact is linked with their respective Facebook profile.
Currently the phone will display the Facebook profile picture for the contacts that I have NOT uploaded a picture for in Google Contacts.
All other contacts will show the contact picture that is uploaded in my Google Contacts even if they DO have a Facebook profile linked.
Is there any way to change this?
I only want to have my Google Contacts in my contact list but want to have my contacts show their Facebook profile pictures who do have a profile linked with their contact entry.
I dont want to change the 'Contacts to Display' setting to Facebook Contacts as that will show ALL my Facebook Contacts not just the ones that are linked with my Google Contacts
Thanks for any help you can provide guys
