Hello.
Sammy's contacts app shows Facebook photos for the people and all is good and they show against the person in Sammy's Messages app.
I've just switched to Hangouts and they just show a grey face.
Any ideas?

first of all, I have had other issues with multiple facebook contacts and such so that caused me to clean out FB contacts from gmail and uninstall facebook on my EVO and started over. Now i get some FB contacts in my EVO contacts but not all have pictures. the main trouble im having is that I wanted to call a friend (brandon) earlier and basically this is what i found
1. Brandon is not in my people app
2. when i start dialing "BRA" "272" his name pops up with his phone # and FB picture
3. He is not in my people app but when i use the "search People" app, he does show up with his phone # and FB picture
does anyone know why this is happening?
and, as far as i Know, there is no way to just sync contacts from facebook to phone that actually just works. right?
thanks
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

So for some reason, my contacts will sync with their facebook counterparts, and display their facebook profile picture in the contacts app, but when I dial their number, or receive a text from them, it displays no picture. Any solution?
I think it has something to do with the 'phone' contact overriding the 'facebook' contact. Either way, the way I got around it was by deleting all the phone contacts I had and just going with google and facebook. This, of course, takes away the ability to set individual ringtones (as far as I can tell). But it should solve the issue.

You can try downloading SyncMyPix from market also, it will download all your facebook contacts pics and import them into your phone and google acct contact pictures, but you have to run it every couple of days/weeks if someone changes their FB profile pic and you want the updated one to show up.

HI All,
I have contacts synced through multiple accounts. I've noticed that for contacts that have photos in both Gmail and Facebook, the Gmail photo takes precedence in my contact list. If there is only a Facebook photo, that photo is displayed. Is there any way to set it so that the Facebook profile photo is the default?
I am moving from note 3 where there was option to set defaults for display picture but on note 4 i am not able to find any. I know there are 3rd party app to sync facebook to contacts but touchwiz is doing it perfect. Just that i am not able to force it to use facebook picture as default contact picture.
Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks All
