I just noticed this, because I rarely call contacts through phonebook, so I'm not sure how long it's been going on, but basically, when I click on a name, nothing happens. Long press on a name brings up the menu (Call Mobile, Edit Contact, etc). If I click on "View Contact", it says:
"The application Phonebook (process.android.process.acore) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
I'm on rooted R2BA024. Anyone have this problem/know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I deleted timescape when rooting, could that be the issue?
Also, I synched my contacts with Facebook, is there some way to use the display pictures from there as my contact pictures?

Yup, the phone book is associated with Timescape, so if you've deleted that, then your phone book doesn't work.
It happened to me before too. I had to clue how to reinstall it, so i ended up reflashing the phone lol.

The easiest fix is just to install a different phonebook app from the market (such as aContacts or Phonebook 2.0). The issue lies with viewing contacts directly through the SE phonebook. I deleted Timescape and have been using aContacts with no issues whatsoever.

I tried putting Timescape back on, but that didn't work. So I went to the market and downloaded Phonebook 2.0. It def works a lot better than the stock phonebook.
Thanks for all the help.

Also looking for the best method of doing this, tried several but none seem ideal so far!
Try syncmypix from the market.

Use the official Facebook app, it works better than friend stream. You can do the same with the official Twitter app.
I don't get how to do it with the facebook application. I messed around with it for a bit, but no avail. Any help?

Go to settings and make sure you have sync contacts enabled. The names /emails have to be similar, but you can always go the contact app, edit a contact and then use the join option in the menu to manually connect contacts.
Edit: this works better than Sense because now all apps that use contact syncing will now have that popup menu when you click on a contacts photo.

Sorry man, but Friend Stream is for HTC Sense frameworks, and won't work in CM6. But, if you purchase Launcher Pro Plus, then that launcher has a widget similar to friend stream (puts facebook + twitter stuff in one widget for ya).
Good luck
Also as an fyi- you can go to any OTA rom, download and rip out any apk's you may want to try. All you need is winrar and you can extract the friendstream.apk file from system/app/ yourself

Use Launcherpro (http://www.launcherpro.com/. It has a widget that is the same as Friendstream.
I have the facebook app installed on my phone. When i went to upload a photo onto facebook it gave me the option to use the facebook app or facebook for mytouch. i went ahead and tried it through the mytouch option and i signed into my account which seemed to add my facebook account onto my phone as something it automatically syncs. it synced my facebook contacts to my normally contact...a cool feature and all BUT i dont want it...
i deleted the facebook account off my phone but my facebook contacts are still mixed with my normal ones. i cant delete them either, i tried long pressing and also tried going INTO the contact to maybe edit it and it wont let you do a thing.
any advice?
Were the contacts linked with facebook accounts?

You may want to sort you contacts, from the contacts > Menu> View and uncheck facebook. It won't delete them but you won't have to deal with them.
Also try clearing the data in the Facebook for MT app, not sure if it will do it but it should't hurt.

They were these were contacts that i've never had in my phone before then they appeared on my actual contacts. Some did/didn't have contact numbers depending if they had them in their actual facebook and what i'm noticing is they all have the little circle by their name greyed out meaning i can video chat with them. I deleted all my video chat programs and cleared all my data for contacts/facebook/video chat and they wont go away.
These people have never been on my phone before it happened right when i tried out the facebook for mytouch.
*i wouldnt mind this but i play a lot of farmville and "those" games and half the people on my friends list are "neighbors" only*

hmm any way you can post a screen shot.... Also when you go into the contact and click the name..... in the top right what does it say? Google? Linked? Facebook? And one last thing, once in the contact can you click menu and delete? if not what happen?

Sadly i'm not rooted and therefore can't post a screen shot...unless theres another route you can advice me on then definitely. Maybe ill just take a photo of it with my camera if there is no other way lol.
After clearing all my info again and uninstalling any qik updates it shows qik in the corner of all these contacts, none of them are linked, and about half have actual content info.
From the contact list - long press - call mobile, send contact as vcard, add a fave now!
From within the contact - clicked on the menu button - all, link, send contact, save to sim, set speed dial
From within the contact - tried pressing every item i could and i can only "Edit" the number to something else...i cant do much else with it.
thanks for the help =)

Sorry man, I tried everything I could to recreate this on my phone with no go.....
Make sure to check your contacts on the gmail site, make sure they are not listed there.
If that does not work it looks like you will need to do a factory reset. Sorry

I was afraid of that...
I went ahead and rooted my phone, deleted qik completely off my system. That took care of it. Hope this doesnt happen to anyone else =/
Thanks for your advice though, i'm surprised it didnt work. It was extremely "stuck" and quite stubborn.
Contacts is only showing the contacts with phone numbers - I'm not seeing any of my email-only contacts. I've dug around and can't find the option in either Contacts or People to show all contacts.
I'm on Euroskank CM9.
Did it by any chance combine/join contacts with similar names?

Nope. Out of 200 something contacts on Google, there's only around 75 with phone numbers and that's all I'm seeing. I've tried wipes, syncs, viewing options, and I just can't get those other contacts to show.
I'm hoping it's a bug, similar to Facebook sync, that needs to get worked out or just a bad pick on the kang.
Try going into people app or the phone app and press the menu button and choose "contacts to display", maybe there's something there.
Or you can try going into the email app itself.
Update: I found out that if you go to the people app and you're on your favorites it won't show also if you go to groups so try it where all the contacts show, just if you didn't know.

Here's what I've tried so far:
1. contacts --> display options --> check all boxes under my Google account. Doesn't work. I do see the group I want to show ("all other contacts" or something like that)
2. people app --> nothing works here. I don't see the group I want to show.
3. Gmail app --> I can start typing an email address and all of my contacts will pop up, but this is only in the Gmail app and I'm not able to view the contact profile. From this, I can see that all of my contacts are indeed synced so now it's just a matter of getting them to show up properly either in People or Contacts.
Well I tried a few things and I'm getting the same problem. Maybe its gmail because on the other email app it works and it syncs fine. The only way I got them to show was adding them to the contact.

No worries, thanks for helping. The error actually went away after I flashed yesterday's build of the ROM I'm using. It's only the second or third build of the series so probably bugs and bad picks are getting filtered out.
Hi, first of all, i'm using the Android Revolution HD rom.
My problem is that though my contact picture does sync and show up both in contact and stock messaging apps, they don't show up in Handcent sms... Though if I click the empty picture, contact details (with the options like "call, mail, etc") show up, including the pictures (can upload a screenshot if this is not clear)
I've tried rebooting, reinstalling handcent, i've also tried this fix as well as fixing permissions from recovery. Nothing seems to work.
I've been googling like crazy for the last hour looking at least for people having the same problem as me, but all the posts i've found are from january-february, which makes me wonder if it is supposed to be a fixed issue. I've also read a few of the thread on these forums referencing ICS bugs, and haven't found this particular issue.
I've also tried flashing the stock HTC rom, though to be honest i didn't spend as much time trying to fix it there, since it wasn't the rom i wanted to use.
Thanks to anyone who will be able to help, even if only to confirm that i'm not the only one having this issue...
[EDIT] Fix found, please read this thread.
Thanks to Chronic404 for providing us with the link.
I'm having the same problem, don't show in whatsapp or go sms pro
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using XDA
I was having the same problem with go sms pro and it was driving me nuts.
Found that if I went into the stock 'people' app and re-chose the contact pics for people they then showed up in go sms.
Not ideal and quite time-consuming but couldn't live without the contact pics showing up!

Thanks for the tip, though i don't seem to have the stock people app on my rom, is it also the case for the HTC stock rom, or is it just because i'm using ARHD ?
May i ask what rom you are using ?

As I said in my first post, I did try this fix, but it's still not working...

Oh sorry I don't read much, can you tell? but I had the same problem and that fixed it for me. Must be handcent.

First of all, I want to apologize, my previous post was coming off as a bit rude, didn't realise it as I was typing on my phone
It might be Handcent, i actually have no idea how to check that since i don't know any app with uses contact pictures, save for the two mentioned in this post: go sms pro, which seems to require to install quite a lot of things, and whatsapps which, as far as i understand it, would require someone to chat with, but i don't think i know anyone who uses it...
So if you have an idea for an app that would use my contact pic tu check whether or not it's a handcent bug, i'd gladly take it.
It's okay I'm not easily offended!
Have you ever tried kik messenger? Once you install it and make an account it'll ask you if you want to add the people from your contacts list that also have it.

I tried it, but apparently none of my contacts use anything else than sms, so still not sure of anything.
I've tried the terminal message also but to no avail.
I've just flashed the MIUI rom so I'll be sticking to that for the time being but if you solve the problem please post the method!
Same problem here i'm afraid.... No contact pictures in handcent app...
+1
I am UK Orange Sensation XE User running ARHD and also have contact images everywhere except in Handcent, despite trying the Root Explorer and Terminal Permissions fixes.
I have a small number of contacts where the contact image is a photo rather than from Facebook, and these DO show in Handcent.
Perhaps one of the techy types can use this info to diagnose the problem?
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Facebook and Handcent, have cleared the Data caches from both and reinstalled, still no joy.
Please post the method if you find a solution!
Contact Photos
Hi There, I had the exact same problem with Gosms and Cabbage which I use constantly. I tried Android Revolution HD and Elegancia (which i love). the only way I could fix the problem was the following.
Downloaded syncmypix and ran it, then deleted the Facebook account. The contact photos now appeared in Gosms and cabbage (even unticking facebook avatars in Gosms didn't work). I then re input Facebook account details but chose not to sync any details at all. This worked perfectly for me and somehow or another the photos and FB details still appear and update in contact details.. Weird but great.
I hope this helps as I am totally anally retentive about photos for contacts which is why I loved the Sensation to start with.
Cheers

That's an interesting method but honestly, I would rather a cleaner solution. Sounds very suspicious that although the FB update is off, the pix continue to update... VERY weird... Seems we have to wait
I have tried Johnner's fix, and it has fixed some of the contact images in Handcent
What i will say though is that SyncPix confuses some of my contacts so i have the wrong images for some contacts, and not all contacts can be "found" by SyncPix for whatever reason...

Thanks a lot for the tip, though i kind of agree with GorgiGR that I was looking for a somewhat "cleaner" fix, i'm especially afraid that it would just confuses things for when the issue will receive an "official" fix.
About the facebook update still working while Facebook sync is off, I'm no specialist, but it might be because although you deleted your facebook account, the Facebook for HTC Sense app is still working.
I am using Haxsync from the Play Store to sync all my facebook photos to my contacts. It works great. The only downside is that it is a paid app. But it was money well spent!
I have just used this fix, and it works!
