Outdated facebook picture in people contact list

As title.
I can't seems to get the latest facebook profile pic for my contacts listed in the People application.
I tried clear the cache for People and Facebook for HTC Sense in the application settings but to no avail.
I am able to get their latest contact number and facebook status message.
Is there a way to manually update the picture?
Please advise.

I have the same problem.
The only solution I found is that I delete the account "Facebook for HTC Sence" and I re added it. This way I force the Sense to synchronize itself with the latest pictures.

Thanks, it works, though the sync take quite a while.

just go into the gallery, switch to Facebook and then update after pressing menu
Only problem I got is that MY pic is not really syncing..

I use an app called syncmypix

Thanks for more suggestion

What may help, before syncing your contacts with HTC Sense Facebook, ensure that "People --> View --> Only contacts with phone numbers" is unchecked!!!
For some reason, when syncing contacts, this option comes into play.

[Q] Facebook and Contact List

My facebook contacts no longer sync with my contact list. Gone are all of my pictures on my contact list. in settings i went to the Accounts and Sync and tried to add account but when i hit the facebook icon it just backs to the previous screen. how can i fix this?

Get the Facebook app, that creates a new account in the OS

should be noted that for it to work correctly you have to have the same name in your contacts list as it shows on their facebook.
and also i believe there is a privacy setting on facebook that allows users to block the facebook app from pulling information

had facebook app installed but ended up removing it and reinstalling it and now it works like it used to. contacts all have pics with them now

Moved to Q&A

Has anyone been able to facebook and contacts to sync properly?

I have been trying forever to get the contacts on my phone (synced to my google account ) to sync up with my facebook friends. It will only sync a select few for whatever reason I cannot find. Any tips?

I had to manually associate each Google Contact with the correct Facebook contact. I did it through the built in "People" application.
If memory serves correct, you open a contact in "People" and it should show a broken link icon. Click on that and you can select the correct FB contact. After you select the FB contact the link icon changes to a "connected link" icon.
From there it should auto update status and pictures accordingly.

Ah I am using an AOSP rom so that might have something to do with it.

Click to expand...

1) download the official facebook apk from the market and sign in and there will be an option to sync all ur contacts pics.
2)also u can do it the following way after installing the facebook apk, go to accounts and sync in settings, add account and select facebook and then sync.....

I've got the contacts from Facebook that have a mobile phone number entered on their profile. Easy and nice.
What about the contacts in my phone that have a Facebook profile but not added their mob info to their profile?
Is there an app to link those Ki d of contacts?

Go to your contacts and click on the friend you want to "join" to the facebook contact. Edit and press the menu button. Now you'll see "join" and touch that. Now pops up your facebook friends that match.

Awesome. Its going to take a while but glad they are now joined.
Any reason why the contact picture displays with such bad quality when making a call?

Stop the change of source of contact pictures

I have my phone syncing my contacts' picture from Facebook. But for some reason if you use any application that involves contact pictures like go sms that did not come stock on the phone, that app doesn't show the picture. So I installed another app to sync Facebook contact picture which does show in the other app.
Every so often the picture changes it's source from the app I downloaded to the stock Facebook source. How can I prevent that from happening?
