Hi guys, first post here but been around a bit on the forum
Basically whenever i connect my contacts to their facebook profile everything syncs up fine EXCEPT their profile pictures, i'm not sure what caused it but if the contact was added recently on facebook it just cant seem to load the picture for it .
Anyway I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on my problem or had suffered something similar.
Thanks in advance!
Make sure you are on a wi-fi network and allow time for the picture to be downloaded..If it doesn't appear, edit the contact and select the facebook picture..
Nevermind i solved the problem now it was to do with how i was connecting, i had to connect via 3G to access facebook and wifi to access twitter.
Hey but it works pretty well for me with Wi-Fi too....jus needs time to download the picture.....all you have to do as the prev post said.....iv personally tried and tested it
does not work for me...
Hello,
this has always worked for me but now all of a sudden the pictures are not loading. When I synch with facebook I see the pictures on everybody when I can select what contacts to synch. (I have all boxes checked) but after accepting no pictures are synched. Everything else is synched...
Hi guys, sorry to bring up an old post but I think it's the same issue I'm now having.
I was able to view all the FB profile pictures until recently. They're all set to FB profile picture but I get the person outline instead of their picture.
Even my own "Me" contact card won't show my profile picture, it's annoying that it did work but now it doesn't!
Any ideas? Status' are updating. I signed out then back into FB. I didn't have to connect via wifi before when it worked. When I go to Settings>Data services>Facebook, I'm logged in but the icon is grey, maybe it always but <i>thought</i> it used to be blue.
Um, not sure what else to mention. Thanks in advance!
Totally was having the same issue up until about 5 minutes ago, found the way to fix it! It has to do with your actual Facebook account and not the phone. You have to change your Facebook account to DISABLE the secure browsing (https). once you do that, relog into Facebook on your HTC Sense and reload the profile pictures!!
You my friend are a hero, that fixed it for me too! So now I have a bright colourful address book again, yay!
Aw thanks! I'm super happy to have all my pictures back! It was driving me crazy!

After enabling secure browsing on FB, my phone didnt sync aswell. Took me ages to find out.
So, I'm still having the same problem. How exactly do I turn off the secure browsing on my browser?
I had the picture sync problem on ICS. I use HaxSync now. Works very well!

You do not need turn off the secure browsing on your browser, you need open your FB account with your browser ( IE, Chrome, Mozila), then select the arrow at the top right (next HOME button), and choose from there Account settings. In newly opened window of FB choose Security. Now you can see on the first row your
secure browsing - edit it!
Pay attention: You need DISABLE it (uncheck) !!!!!!!!!!....if you want syncing FB contacts with HTC contacts
I try to use browser to view facebook but it show connection error,so can`t play FaceBook games. it's that any fix?
In the address bar type about:debug and then go to settings>debug and change uastrings to desktop then type about:debug to get out of debug again
You can do what he said, but I found that I would often go back to android mode. So I have switched to dolphin browser HD and set it to desktop mode as default and have a gesture set up if I want to use mobile mode. Much easier and no problems with Facebook or other sites yet.

I had this issue. Only started after installing the facebook app. I uninstalled the app and clear cache and changed uastring to desktop and it works pretty good. Only issue is after several hours of the tablet being idle and the tab open I see the issue pop up. I close the tab and launch a new one and I am good to go.
thank you for reply
im having serious facebook issues on my tablet too!
the facebook app never worked for me properly (couldnt see the feed screen) so i uninstalled it. I also tried connecting my facebook in Pulse Newsreader but that also didnt work either. Only way I could get it working was via the built in social jogger app which actually has quite a nice interface but is somewhat limited.
Also last night I tried browsing facebook via the default browser and it loaded the first time and then stopped loading after clicking a 'see all comments' link.
anyone know the cause?
I will use ESPN.com as my example for my problem. I have a couple of browsers in my little widget I have on the screen and ESPN is one of them. I set it up so when I click on ESPN it will send me to ESPN.com. about a week ago I went into an article on ESPN, after that, every time I go on to ESPN through the bookmark widget, it directs me to ESPN.com/what.ever.that.article.was. it won't send me to ESPN.com home page like before. I tried to delete that bookmark and readding it but nothing helps. ESPN.com is not my only website issue.. any fix?
After I started syncing the tablet with Chrome, I've been getting bookmark bugs everywhere. Bookmarks will randomly change to URLs I've visited before no matter how many times I change them back. I tried clearing browser data to make it stop syncing with my Google account (since apparently you can't disable it after you set it) but it still happens with a few particular bookmarks. It actually began affecting my bookmarks on my desktop running Chrome as well by moving bookmarks around and changing URLs. Although turning off bookmarks sync on my desktop stop the issue there. Still happens on the tablet.
I try doing the same as you do but nothing helps:/ starting to piss me off!

Had the same problem on my tab. One bookmark would always change. Never figured out how to fix it.
I'm trying to figure it out but I got nothing! Any help from anyone else?

Here is a fix for apps such as Weather (Bing) or cut the rope not working. this also fixed me not being able to add my Exchange account. I found this on the Microsoft forums and now every app works.
Slide the Start Charm bar out on the right side. press settings. Click change PC settings. In the list click on Ease of Access. Turn off Tab through webpages using caret browsing.
Immediately all my apps that were closing as soon as i opened them started to work and it accepted my exchange account.
I hope this helps anyone having this issue.
Hi everyone. I'm having this weird problem and I hope to get some help with it. I use the stock Samsung Browser with Google as my default search engine. Everytime I search for something in the address bar, it shows results with India in the suggestions. For example, I will search "Huawei Watch" and the search results will recommend "Huawei Watch India". It will also recommend the Indian version of webpages like google.co.in. I was recently in India on vacation but some setting must have stuck. I tried the Yahoo and Bing search engine options and won't get the same results. This only appears for Google search engine. I have cleared history, cached, and the reset the app but it is still happening. I have cleared my Google account search history but it still happens. I use Chrome browser and it does not happen. Does anyone know why this is occuring? I really appreciate the help.
