1st of all, I like HTC Sense feature to link all contacts together. But there is a problem.
When I have a Google contact WITH picture linked to Facebook contact W/O picture, every time Sync happens - it defaults to contact's FACEBOOK profile (which has no picture assigned). That means that this contact now has NO picture to show.
Sure I can go to Contact details, edit it and assign Google's picture to that contact. Until next Sync
This is really annoying. Any solution, trick, etc ? Except NOT using Sense
Not much you can do about that except tell this person to add a Facebook profile picture?
I though may be there is some sort of a trick which I dont know about

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

also i have found syncing one contact at the time works. quite time consuming....but it works, also their status updates.
Hi,
how do i make the picture i use in GMail for a contact take precedence over the facebook contact picture?
also I've noticed sometimes my friends on facebook will change their profile picture but it never changes on my phone. Any ideas here?
thanks!
Make sure facebook sync is setup in the android settings for pictures to be updated

yep, did that.
you may (probably) have to do it contact by contact, but if you go into contacts, pick the person who's photo you want to change (assuming you had a photo of them before, that was synced to gmail's contacts). go to their contact info, hit menu>edit contact. click on their photo, which should be the gmail photo. select "use this photo". it will override the facebook synced photo in your contact list.
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?
Is there a way to pull pictures from Facebook for contacts (like on Droid phones?)...everytime I get an email I see the blank contact photo and would like to have their actual photo instead...
I think it depends on the person who's sending the email. The only time I see anything other than the stock picture is when my wife sends an email from her Gmail account b/c she has a profile picture defined. Does that make sense? I don't know if there's any way to associate your contacts with picture YOU choose but now I'm intrigued and will check!
EDIT: When you go into contacts you can add photos to your contacts. You should try if that does what you want.
Most people use SyncMyPix from the market. It works most of the time..lol

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
