Well I have this little annoyance, yesterday I've finally installed the update for my C5306, everything is working beautifully except for one thing. The facebook contacts' syncs is broken.
It worked yesterday at night I could see high resolution photos on the caller ID for every linked contact, but this morning while finishing downloading all my apps I've noticed that is broken. Now it just shows little ugly, and blurred pics for my contacts.
Does anyone know a way to fix this?
Thanks.

I hope this is not a noob question, but if it is I'm sorry and this is my first Android phone. Does anyone else notice that the contact pictures on the Evo are extremely grainy and compressed. I even changed one of the pictures manually, and it was fine initially but became highly compressed again. Is there a way to fix this please. Thanks

I noticed this too. The pictures it pulls from my facebook contacts look great, but the ones from any other contact doesn't.
I have not noticed. My pictures are just like I took them or uploaded them.
I usually don't edit contact pictures like I would with my photographs that I take.

It does the same for all my pictures, even the ones pulled from Facebook. Is there any setting that needs to be changed for it to straighten out cause its really annoying.

They were grainy for me at first, but after I sycned them to facebook, they looked great.
There was an issue with Exchange servers doing something to contact pictures. I don't use Exchange mail, so I haven't seen it.
The photos should be the same.
If you add a photo manually to a contact in Google, it should synch that photo to the phone as well.
I had this problem when I first synced Facebook with my contacts. The pictures were extremely blocky and low res.
Eventually it got better. Not sure how it happened, maybe a reboot or it finished syncing. No idea, glad it got there though.
Well lets hope mine eventually fixes itself..fingers crossed

I had the same problem, I was linked to Gmail for syncing and Google compresses the pics wile syncing them back to evo. I change the pics on evo it’s good for few seconds and then back to grainy sync from Google. Google is been working on a fix, they have been aware of this problem for some time.
I turned off contact sync option, now calendar syncs ok without fuzzy pics
Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, and I just picked up my vibrant two days ago... my twitter sync works perfectly, but my facebok one unfortunately doesnt... none of my contacts pictures show up, and theres no sync to their account...
what i tried was downloading the facebook app and now when i click to view a contacts profile, it only takes me to mine, and the pictures STILL dont show up...
Does anyone have any advice they can please offer? I'm a major facebooker for business and the sync was one of the main selling points for me... am I doing something wrong or should I exchange my vibrant for a new one?
Thanks!!
It wouldn't be a problem with the device itself I think. My contacts do show their profile pictures and status updates but it hasn't been retrieving data for a couple days so I'm assuming It's just a server issue. Give it a couple days and see what turns up

Same here... it hasn't updated anything in days, so my dumbass deleted the account and added it again, but that only made it worse, cuz now it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" so I guess I can only wait now... I am not sure, but I think this happened after I did an update to the app, but I am not sure
Mine did this as well for a couple of days when I first got the phone. Then it just randomly synced one day, so from my understanding, it's on Facebook's end, not your phone.
Damn Facebook lol.

So something happened today after a power cycle, i lost all my facebook contacts under my contact page. In the end its not that big of a deal becuase i believe i backed them all up to google... I did however enjoy the ability to use the updates tab under everyones name before calling them so i was up to date. I also liked having the up to date pics of them via facebook. So i double checked and made sure facebook was still syncing everything under the contacts, and it was. However everyones facebooks contact is just outright gone now. Not just missing pictures or not displaying updates... gone.
I cant seem to find a way to reenable this. Any ideas?

I was showing my cousin (iphone user) how cool that was but it was missing.

This happened to me also. Resynchronizing them doesn't seem to do anything. It sucks. I thought that I could go into Groups under contacts and add them all again, but there isn't any option to add contacts to the preexisting groups. That's actually the only part of TouchWiz that's really pissed me off so far. It would be great if someone could figure out how to fix this.
Do you think the update to Facebook caused this?

See at first i thought it might have had something to do with the facebook update. but i had not updated my facebook at the time. I hage since then thinkinkijg it would fix the problem, but it has not helped at all.
Contacts are still MIA for me at this point. Anyone got ideas?

Lost all Facebook contacts? That sounds more like a feature than a bug
I've searched through previous threads and couldn't find an answer so I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.
Note that I'm on my 2nd Droid X. The screen on the first one died, but it too experienced this issue.
The issue I am having is with syncing contact pictures onto the phone. If I add them manually, the picture quality is fine. Note that I am using OS X to sync my contacts from Address Book with Missing Sync. The only problem is that as soon as I sync my contacts to Google, the picture quality goes to hell. I have disabled automatic contact sync and unlinked my Address Book from my Google account, but I'm just wondering if there is a workaround for this. It's not a big deal to sync everything manually, but being able link everything automatically with my Google account in case of a catastrophic simultaneous breakdown of my computer and my phone would be nice. Any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Not sure if this helps any, but my phone is rooted and running on stock Froyo 2.2.340.
No one have any issues with this?

I'm sure everyone does but just accepts that Google just reduces the image quality when it's synced to their servers
Thanks for the reply. I was just being optimistic hoping there was a way to shut my iPhone friends up when they see crappy pictures show up in a call.
Are you on facebook? I use the app syncmypix to put the profile pictures of my contacts that are my friends on facebook cuz it seems launcherpro has trouble updating the pics... I know there is an option to use high quality pics... I don't know if that would solve your problem
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Yeah, unfortunately that doesn't seem to work either since as soon as the pictures are synced with Google, it's back to the low quality versions. The weird thing is my wife's Incredible syncs automatically with her Google contacts, and everything looks great so I'm not sure if the problem is with Motorola or just the way Google interacts with the Droid X.
The Incredible might be storing local copies of the hi-res images
Are there any apps to get this bback. I miss my contacts not having pictures

I'm using SyncMyPix. It can download your facebook friends pictures. Also the pictures will be uploaded to google contacts.
Awesome cheers

This is a life saver. And the fact that you can select some contacts where the names doesn't match perfectly makes this better than the official FB sync.
Thanks for posting this. However, there is one pretty big flaw, at least in my opinion. There's no option to prevent the app from overwriting contact icons that I manually set on my own. This can be annoying as many people have stupid pictures set as their profile pics on facebook.
Can i really sync all contact even the ones not on my phone or is it just for syncing a photo?

my contacts dont have pictures on them only my girlfriend and me. as for facebook I deactivated a long time ago, I couldnt stand the site. only thing that annoys me is the fact games force you to have one, eg zynga poker, Loved it until I found out its facebook only
I use http://danauclair.com/addressbooksync/ and http://spanningsync.com for my Mac.
