I'm using HaxSync already but it creates new account and stores pictures in it's own. Are there any app takes photos from fb and overwrites them to google contacts?
Check out HaxSync's Advanced Settings
There are 'n' number of such apps
I believe HaxSync already does that for you, but if you want a free alternative, you can try some of these...

Yes there is an option for it in HaxSync but it didn't work. For me at least. Also it says, "overwrite photos stored in google" So maybe it only changes if contact have a picture before sync. I didn't comprehend this fuction properly yet :silly: Trying your suggestions too now.

HaxSync writes the new pictures into the Google Contacts on your phone. It might take a while for the Google Sync to sync them back to the Google Servers.

Call me stupid, but where do I find the advanced settings.
In fact, I saw them one time, even could manually assign some pictures, but now it's gone.
I open Haxsync, it asks me what to sync and that's it.
Edit: Yes, call me stupid. Found it in the Accounts

Hey guys
I tried searching the forums, but found nothing on this. I'm looking to refresh all the facebook photos that are used in the sense contacts. I have done the link/unlink and sign out of facebook for sense in the past, but these get annoying because I then have to relink all the accounts. Now that I have root, is it possible to clear a cache of these photos somewhere so that they refresh? I'm really trying to avoid having to re-link so many accounts again.
Thanks
.
I was wondering the same thing, myself
Yeah, that **** doesn't update at all.
They are also pixelated as ****.
Well this kept bugging me too, but I just keep doing the sign out of facebook and resign in trick...
I don't know why this would unlink all your contacts to their facebook accounts, as whenever I sign out and sign back in, nothing changes except the contact pictures...
I also am not deleting the account then creating a new one if that helps...
If you have the contacts backed up to Google remove the face book account then clear contact storage under manage applications then re-sync Google then re add Facebook. Hope that helps.

It has something to do with Friend Stream and the way things are linked with it.
I know I have done it before and when I choose refresh it does go out and update their Contact photo's to their latest Facebook photo.
I just sat here playing with it and I can get them to update as long as they are linked. However if you have a photo saved into an Outlook contact, it will not update, it will force to what Outlook has set. (I know this is true for Exchange, but not sure if it is same for a Desktop Sync)
Hope this helps !
From Android Central.... (I cant post links)
If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to
People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh.

I second this... What is really weird is my wife doesn't have this problem, all of her contacts sync perfectly, it definitely frustrates me lol.
Refreshing them through the facebook directory only refreshed them in that screen, not in my normal contact list. The app was a great suggestion though, thanks!

What I found is that once you scroll over a contact it will add them to the 'to update' list. So if you scroll through your contacts when refreshing then it will update them all ----very slowly though.
Anyway to remove the blur "account" page. I see that if I change sims it forces me to login to the existing blur account. What if I want to completely de-blur the phone? Is that possible? Or not because motorola says so?
Not possible. No way to replace with stock accounts.
I am having many problems with these built in accounts. I was having problems with YouTube until I realized that I needed to login with the actual YouTube credentials and not the gmail ones.
I am now having similar problems with picasa, but as I am new to picasa, I don't know what my other logins would be other than my gmail ones. Basically every time I try to upload multiple photos from the gallery folder on the phone, it returns a message that says "failed to receive login information".

Ok more info on picasa. When I "quick upload" a single photo from the gallery they will go to picasa. Its only when I multi select photots and try to upload that it won't take. It still says "unable to retrieve user info" or something. Another note is that when the upload to picasa screen comes up, its not pulling my albums down from the picasa site, so I can tell right away that something isn't communicating the info.

Try installing Gallery 3D from the market. It's the stock gallery app. Much better.
Figured it all out. I HOPE many people end up finding this thread. I went through a lot to figure this out. The following fix will work for both Picasa and YouTube problems where the error pops up saying that login info could not be retrieved. The problem is that you can not use the same email address for motoblur as you do the rest of the logins. You MUST set your motoblur to another email address when setting the phone up, preferably a non-gmail address. Unfortuantely for those of us who already setup the phone, the only way to change the motoblur email address is to wipe the phone and set everything up again.
I can confirm that this is 100% working. Now... If you don't want to setup the phone from scratch I can show you work arounds.
For YouTube, if you go into the YouTube app, hit menu, go to "my channel" (make sure the phone is not in landscape when you do this) then look at the top right and click logout. Then log back in, instead of putting your gmail address you can enter your YouTube user name and password. This will allow you to upload videos directly from the UI and gallery to YouTube.
A work around for Picasa is to set Picasa as the option in the "quick upload" menu in Gallery. If you go to gallery and click menu, then settings, you can set Picasa as quick upload there. Then whenever you are looking at a photo you can click menu and select quick upload, it will then upload straight to Picasa. The only problem is that you can not select multiple pictures and upload at once to Picasa. You have to do the real fix mentioned above to send multiple pictures to Picasa at once.
I reccommend you all do the real fix while the phone is still new and not that hard to wipe and start over.
Apparently it is possible, NO IDEA how i did it though D:
now when i take sim cards out it doesn't ask for motoblur account. Some reason I also lost all my contacts, don't know if it was because I lost my motoblur account or if it was a coincidence?

Hmm I'm not sure that this is a good thing lol. Try your best to re add the motoblur account, preferably under a different email address. If it works, this will be the best fix.

clicking "add account" just gives me the option to link fb, myspace, twitter, etc. with motoblur, no option to add a motoblur account. And i didnt really lose EVERYTHING, just my contacts, I can just put them back in manually, its coo.

Wipe it and start from scratch using my method posted earlier, just make sure to NOT use a gmail address for the motoblur email.
Let us know how it goes. Good luck.

If you freeze items through TiBU this happens. You can remove the need for MotoBlur that way. But to go non-root there is no way to remove MotoBlur.
Also, I have no issues and I have MotoBlur on same email as everything else.

Boy im glad I read this post. I went and got gallery 3D. Now THAT is a stock app. It makes the moto one look horrible. The zooming is actually smooth.
Are there any other stock apps I should check out that would be better than what I have on the phone right now? Thanks

If you go back to accounts and add your facebook account(via the add button at the bottom), it should sync the contacts as well. However, if you have manually added contacts, or are using google for contacts, you will have to link them with your facebook contacts.
I must be trying to link them wrong then cause im only linking contacts with other contacts. Can you give me detailed instruction on how to do this process
Sign out of the facebook app. (Assuming you downloaded it.) When you sign back in, and you see the tips page, do not click anything on the screen but click the back button on the phone and the sync settings show up.

Thanks I got the sync settings to come up. But it still did not sync them. When I first got the phone I recovered my contacts from google and it synced all my fb friends on my contacts which was way more contacts then what I had so I deleted all my contacts and recovered them again and now it wont sync them at all. Im running a unrooted atrix with webtop hdmi mod which launcher pro. Would that affect it. Also I tryed to pull up the social networking app for the phone and it wont even let ne log into facebook thank you

Not the calendar app causes this but a other app with some add/spyware in it.

Well, check permissions on all your apps, and block all the ones that shouldn't have calendar access.
Then check Facebook and block that calendar access, because that seems something that would pop up in Facebook and no one would check.
Finally, it's likely that all that stuff has been synced to your actual account, so you're going to have to delete all those entries.
If you use a Gmail account you can do it from Google calendar online, and if you use something else, you'll be able to do it from that calendar.
