I used the Facebook application, and they're all there in my Contacts app, but in Dialer One it only shows my Google contacts (and it doesn't even show their synced photos). I didn't see any option to show my social network contacts.
same issue.
Necrobump! But really, did anyone ever find an answer for this?
Have you tried going to Menu --> Display options in Dialer One and looking in the "Choose contacts to display" section? You'll have to have sync enabled in the Facebook app first, of course.
The problem is Facebook changed their app so only the stock dialer could show Facebook photos. The only work around that I know of is to install and run an app called photo unlocker. Its free in the market. You must be rooted to use it. Also its buggy so you might have to run it a few times but it works for me. Now any dialer app I install can use Facebook photos. Hope this helps.

I get photos in Dialer One just fine with the official Facebook app. The only issue is that they are low-res and look ugly on the incoming call screen.
Noxious, I see no such option. It's not a matter of photos. The contacts themselves don't show up.

You take your phone and you look it in the face and say " dialer one show me ya moves" then you toss your phone in front of you and swing your fist at it while yelling "FALCON PUNCH". Problem solved, phone now displays FB contacts.
The best solution for this is to use Go Contacts. It has an integrated themeable smart dialer and has way more options than Dialer One. The option you're looking for is included in Go Contacts.
Photo Unlocker does it. Root required, by the way.
Go Contacts doesn't seem to want to do fb contacts either =\
moreover: what I've noticed is, it's only SOME facebook contacts, and not others. There's one call I got from a guy... in the call log it shows as his number, but when i click on the blank contact picture on the left. it shows me his fb profile

Worked for me... good find!
Thanks for the replies guys. I've been meaning to say though, there are still some contacts on FB which Go contacts refuses to show =\
Use TouchPal... much better app IMO. All of my Facebook contacts show.

Well, as almost EVERYONE that uses HTC Senses' "Link" function knows that you can link your Contacts with your Facebook friends. One issue still remains. The contact pictures. Most of the time, they simply won't apply to the Contact, so you have to set manually.
Here's a little tutorial on how to MANUALLY link your Contacts Pictures with their Facebook Display Picture.
1.) Slide to your Contacts Tab
2.) Select "All People"
3.) Select a Linked Facebook Contact in your list [One without a Display Picture]
4.) Scroll down to "Edit Contact"
5.) Select it.
6.) Once you're in the Edit Contact Card screen, you'll see the Image Placeholder in the top right.
7.) Tap on the Picture and you'll see the following Pop-Up Menu:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note: If their Facebook Picture is still blank, you'll see the Download Arrow next to it.
8.) Once their Facebook Picture appears, simply select it.
9.) It will automatically add their Facebook Pic to their Contact Card Pic [And should update when they change their picture].
10.) You're done!
Hope this helps the peeps who need it!
How to save a other Facebook pic (Profile Album) to my photo contact?
You'll have to manually download the picture you want from the Profile and sync it to your device. Then, follow the steps above, and look at the screenshot I have provided. Rather than tapping the "Facebook Profile" button, tap "Open Album". Doing so will open your Devices Photo Album, and you can select the image you wish to use for the Contact Picture. Hope this helps.
I'd like to know is it possible to save facebook default profile pics as contact picture? Just selecting facebooks image to be shown doesn't save it as a contact image, it just displays it. When doing ms phone sync, image is not uploaded, only the old image that I have manually downloaded and saved is uploaded.
Thanks a lot for this TC! Totally helped my problem.
Glad my tutorial could help.
hmm i dont know, i am so unhappy about this facebook and twitter integration, its to aggressive.
is there anyway from stopping facebook, twitter and so on from overwritting the contact picture?
i love to have my contacts linked to facebook, but i want that the contacts keep the picture i choose, most of the time its phone or google. is there anyway to force the contacts app to do so?
is this still working for you guys? for me it doesn't work anymore, sense can't get the facebook photos. no support from htc or facebook yet.

I was wondering if ASOP roms have a link like in sense, I use Facebook, but i don't have people named the same on my phone as on Facebook. So i'd like to like them, Is there anyway i can do that on an ASOP ROM like CM?
This is now what's keeping me from using aosp roms I'd love a way to do this.

If you find the contact you want, go to menu > edit > join and it should find the contact that you can join with in facebook. it's a workaround, but it's but as good as htc sense facebook link
I don't have the join option.

Menu -> Edit Contact. Then Menu->Join...
What ROM are you on?
There is an App called SyncMyPix which worked for me. I have the Join options but it was not working that great.
Sync My pix works very well if your contacts names match those that are within your facebook account. You can manually do it but depending on the amount of contacts you have and number of facebook friends to go through it could be a pain.
I got it all taken care of this morning, works great. I use everyones first and last name for a contact and the app synced up all but like 10 people who have either a different facebook name or do not have it at all. Free app to by the way
EDIT: I'm running CM7 as my rom
Or just download Facebook for Android?

When you dl the facebook app it asks if you want to sync your contacts on your phone...
You can change it under Menu > Settings > Other Settings (at the bottom) once you load up facebook and hit back to get to the screen where you choose messages, profile, news feed, etc...
I have no option to do that on my facebook app

syncmypix!
The by far best solution is to use the free app syncmypix from the market. Takes care of all the syncing for you, even shows the ones the didn't sync so you can match them up. Works on AOKP ICS on my INC.
ok. SO I am officially sick and tired of having to re do contacts and apps after every flash. I have google sinc checked, but no apps ever seem to auto re download, except maybe maps and another... as well as every time i have to re do my contact list, add from sim to phone, then add in facebook contacts. what am i doing wrong? why do i always have to re link up contacts and why is it always so messy, with like duplicates and contacts with 2 of the same number? is there some damn guide to that? am I missing something or is it always suppose to be a pain in the ass?
any help is greatly appreciated. I can sit here and flash a new rom in ten minuets and spend a hour or more re doing my damn contact list, apparently it doesnt like me...
I tryed save to Sd card, but then I had the problem of it loading in MORE duplicate files, and if I do that Im assuming I cant have facebook contacts with out same problem ? ? what do you guys do and what am i doing wrong? Thanks
Have you tried to use google to sync your contacts to it? This can be done in settings-accounts-and checking the sync contacts.
Also, have you tried titanium backup to backup contact data?
I have never tried either of these since I just user my sim card for contacts, but maybe one of these will save you an got after each flash.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App
wow umm i just went through this.. it does get messy but it can be fixed and have your phone, google and facebook ALL sync to the same correct contact..
Back up to SD first (you did)
Phone Contacts> Menu button> More >Display
UNCHECK PHONE
CHECK GOOGLE
Phone Contacts> Menu button> Settings> Save new contacts to GOOGLE
go to gmail.com on computer > import contacts > use backup on SD card
phone Settings> Accounts and Sync > Google> Sync contacts
now all new contacts automatically go to google and sync to phone.
for facebook use built in facebook syncing, not the App based syncing.
Phone contacts> menu button > get freinds > Facebook >check ones you want to sync.
Go through contact list, LONG Press contact> Join Contact

2 issues though, syncing with google contacts I believe doesnt let me set custom ringtones.
and the other is that when i sync with google i seem to get all the damn emails ive ever communicated with over like 10 years so its like a billion random emails ( craigslist, ebay, work, school, ect.)

I believe you can use custom ringtones with google contacts..I just tried mine and I have the option to use them.
All my contacts are synced with google...so when I flash a ROM, I just add my google account and all the contacts are there. Plus I like the fact I can control my contacts in gmail. Go to your contacts in gmail and choose what you want there...
As for apps, use titanium backup to back them up.
I use contacts groupu from the market. Works great for groups then all u have to do is set the ringtone after a flash. Works great for me! Let me know if u need any help.

Hi Guys,
For some reason I didn't want the Google+ App, so I removed it with Titanium Backup. Now this also removed the new Google Photos app. However, whenever I capture an image through the default camera, the image preview (slide from right) opens in this app. (See below)

Firstly, I'm not sure how it ended up remaining partly in the system. Secondly, when I press the circled icon, the app force exits to the homescreen instead of taking me back to the gallery or camera. Not only that, the photo that is currently being previewed gets deleted. I mean common Google, you can't force me to use an app, if I don't want to!
Having said that, I would like to know if it is possible to change the default preview app from the photos app to the android gallery app? Or if thats not possible, is it possible to install only the G Photos app and not the entire G+ application?
TIA,
Cheers!:good:
Anyone?
I do not have "photos" installed nor google plus. Removed a bunch of google bloat via clean master. When I go into my camera and then slide right it goes into what you have posted the little google photos thing. But I use gallery as my photo app. I have this same deal as you posted it just doesn't bother me.
Download the picasa tool, that is just strictly photos and you can manage them on the cloud.
Hope this helps I will check back if this isn't clear.
I believe this can be resolved by going to your app list, and choosing "Clear Defaults" on Google+.

Can you confirm this, since you have Google plus still installed. It would be much easier for you to check it. Would be really helpful if you could check whether the gallery app can be set as the default previewing app by clearing the Google plus defaults.

I am simply ignoring it because it does not really bother me. I never actually view my photos this way versus just hitting the gallery app and since I have some in the cloud I use the picasa tool. I am pretty sure that once photos are removed gallery becomes default because I remember when looking at a photo in SMS it asked me for photos or gallery.

I thought I would respond to this because after flashing to lollipop this is really annoying me as well. I prefer quikpic but I cannot change the default viewer from the camera. I can verify clearing defaults does not resolve the problem.

2. have tried changing g+ profile pic from the phone
3. have tried adding my own phone number as a contact in the contacts app with the same g+ pic
4. have tried changing the g+ pic in g+ on PC
5. This is simply an annoyance and SMS functionality still works but why is this not happening to everyone?
6. when tapping the blank user pic this page comes up:
Full URL of error is: https://plus.google.com/_sms_only_account/about/
any ideas? There is a thread about this at AC forums also but nobody has come up with a working solution yet maybe some of you have this working?

Make sure you have set up the "ME" contact in the People app. That is what Hangouts uses for "you".
IIRC you can change your profile picture in Hangouts itself, somewhere in the settings. That should be synced with your G+ account, but you didn't mention trying this in your post.
If that doesn't work I'd try going into Settings > Apps > Hangouts > Clear Data and see if that helps.

yeah that is all setup with a pic and my phone number and link to g+ and everything, might try clearing the hangouts app cache and data and see if that changes anything
well this is dumb.. you MUST be signed in to the hangouts half of it to see your pic in the SMS half.. @[email protected]
when not signed into hangouts even tho i can send myself a SMS and see my pic in the "from" left side lol the "to" right side is still blank
way to half-ass it Google
That's a funny quirk. I will say though, if I weren't using the Hangouts half of the app I don't think I would use Hangouts for SMS. There are so many better options out there.
