Hello All,
Am new to HTC Android Phone. I have setup my contacts photos to be picked up from the respective Facebook Profiles. Although this happened the first time, if a contact changes the photo on facebook it is not getting updated in the phone? Is there a way to manually force an update??
Facebook sync is enabled (i guess once every 12 hours) and it has been several days since the contact updated the profile pic on FB.
Thanks in advance...

Hello,
I have the same problem, my contacts aren't updated >.<
Pretty annoying, but I have not found a way yet to fix it. Looks like a problem with facebook for android.
If anyone has more information, please tell us
It seems that the facebook sync method doesn't check if the facebook profile pic is updated or not. Probably to save network bandwidth and sync time. But it is kind of annoying that it is not updated.
I have exactly the opposite problem. The pictures assigned to my contacts in google keep getting updated with those in facebook. While I don't mind that for contacts that do not have pictures in Google, it is quite annoying for such that do.
i pressed the sync all widget and all my face book images updated
my legend is rooted and running the modaco rom tho

Strange that it works for you. Can't see how a root or new rom would change anything. I have the same problem, using stock unrooted rom. Kinda hoped it would be fixed with new update, but no luck
Contact Photo Update

Where is this "sync all" button? I am not able to find it. Is it something specific to the rom?

Oh! Thanks!
But it does not seem to solve my problem... The old FB photos are still stuck to the profile...

I was also facing the problem of getting updated display pic from facebook and thought that there wasn't anyway to solve.. until after i ran into the FriendStream problem.
My FriendStream started acting strange and refuses to update friends' status today, it force closes when i try to launch the application proper. After reading up online, I did what others suggested, remove the facebook account and re-add it to FriendStream.. It got my FriendStream working again, plus a bonus - it "re-linked" with all my contacts in People and updated their profile pics! =D
Might take a while for it to fetch all the display pics again though, so I'd recommend doing it with a WiFi connection
My facebook profile pics update but there is a major delay between 12 and 24 hours) even though facebook and friend screen update every 10 minutes
I have this issue too, it seems to come from the last OTA ROM update
my FB pictures don't updates, and worse, new FB contacts don't appear in my phone book. when I manually sync my FB account, there is a process that returns an error
the solution I found to force an update was to run friend stream, friends, facebook, menu, update
it takes some time

i know this is an old thread so hoping there was a better fix for this issue? terribly annoying
Doing a refresh in the friendstream app updates the photo in the app but not the contact photo
I have found no way to update the photos till now... have even tried unlinking the Facebook profile from the contact and readding - no use...

so there's no solution ..
I use SyncMyPix, it works well. http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-nloko-android-syncmypix-qxEz.aspx
But I do hope that this gets fixed with a software update.
Cheers

Anybody else having trouble with facebook not syncing lately? I also notice that the feeds and updates widgets wont pull any facebook posts either and now wont update at all. I know the widget from launcherpro works so it must be isolated to something with facebook or the widget itself.
I was having the same problem after I did the froyo update and it wouldn't resolve itself so I made tmobile give me a warranty exchange to go back to eclair...any news on if it has been fixed yet?
I was able to "fix" this by removing the facebook and twitter accounts from accounts and sync in settings, re-booting and adding the accounts back in. I'm running Bionix V. Hope this helps.

Mine does this every so often too. So far, I just remove the widget from the home screen and reinstall it and it works.
Same problem here.
I didn't root still running the stock rom seems like the FROYO for galaxy S has been on major F*CK UP across the board. Sprint pulled its FROYO update for the Epic 4g can't wait to hear what goes wrong with the AT&T update.
Anybody running the stock rom have a resolution for the widgets and facebook/twitter sync issues tmobile customer care was no help.
How come the facebook contacts on the new GB leak are un-editable? If I remember correctly you could on froyo, anyone have any idea why?
I've noticed this too. It might just be a gingerbread feature
Hopefully it will be able to be fixed somehow or possibly changed, not felling having 2 of the same contact names for no reason
I agree with you there. It does get quite annoying
Yeah im having the same issue. I have to unsinc all the facebook contacts and manual add the person as a contact with the info I want then resinc all the facebook contacts and it adds the facebook to the existing profile.

Hi. Has this been going on for others? Timescape was working fine until today and I was getting status updates from my contacts. But now I am only getting status updates from some of my contacts and not from ones I used to be getting from too even though in the Facebook for Android app, I can see the status updates. Does anyone know what is causing this? And what fix there would be for this? I've reset my phone, cleared the cache, removed data, etc. and it is still happening.
I'm running stock GB 2.3, rooted.
As a side note, does Timescape allow you to update from Facebook only a certain list?
Thanks.
Hi,
is there any chance to get back my gmail notification labels on my screen?
Since an update of gmail there are now small numbers showing my unread emails.
Is there still no fix for this? Downgrade gmail is no option for me.
Google disabled third part acces to GMail app. If u really need it u can downgrade it. But look at it from bright side : your account is now much more protected
