coming from sense and touchwiz, i'm a little spoiled with the built in facebook sync, so i apologize if this question has already been asked before. in my contacts it recognizes my facebook, however whenever i receive a call or text message my facebook pics don't show up. is there a way to get this to work?
Download the facebook app from the marketplace and have it sync contacts.
That worked for me and all my contact info synced right up.

I wonder what I did differently because mine all synced and are running perfectly.
The pics show up in contacts, phonecalls, and texts...
Mine is also working fine. All contacts synced and photos showing for everyone.

The names have to match up mostly.. If not, edit contact> join> find contact.
I had the same issue.
I downloaded syncmypix and it syncs your Facebook photos right to your Gmail account and that cleared it up.

google did it
face book if you have synced with your google account it will work. syncing from facebook was stopped by google because they were not using the right api.
...I dont know if this is in effect on froyo 2.2.2 but it was and was highly publisized with gingerbread.
Of course this may be resolved if facebook fixed what ever google had a problem with.

Facebook sync works just fine in froyo. It was only removed on the latest update of gingerbread and it is not yet fixed.

If the sync worked just fine then we wouldn't be having this problem...i installed sincmypix from the market and it seems to work however I feel that we shouldn't need a separate app to get this to work properly.

The weird thing is that the facebook photo appears when I view the contact from the contact list, but when I view my sms threads, the photo is nowhere to be found. Also, when I use HANDCENT SMS, the photos show up just fine.

thanks for this app.. never heard of it till i saw u post the name of it here. works great on my g2x running gingerbread
slightly different problem.
I recently downloaded the FB app for Android. It asked to look at my contacts in order to see who was already on FB so I could add them as friends. There were at least 10 people I don't know. Obviously I have numbers in my phone that no longer belong to the people I know. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to see which numbers these are and either replace the old numbers or delete the contacts all together.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So only issue I have with this phone so far is that none of my Contacts Pics show in the messaging app. My contact pics are all there in Contacts though. I tried hard resetting and setting up the phone again and it didn't fix it....so I'm stumped. Anyone out there having same issue or know how to fix it?

I'm having the same issue. No clue how to fix it yet.

In the stock message apparently specifically though, bullseye69?.. Not just your phone contacts list? I seem to be having issues with contact pics not showing up in various Google apps (gTalk for example) while everything seems to be syncing fine.

the only contacts in messaging app that appear are the ones that have their google accounts synced with a picture
My contact pics are good in stock messaging. Even my wife's contact pic who does not have a google account, that I set manually with my G1 years ago. I did notice my own contact pic changed to an older one when I switched phones...
Is there a better messaging app? I do miss the vibrants default

I have this problem, however its only with Facebook synching. Google pics, or photos I've manually saved to contacts work.
There's a free app called synchmypix that will solve your Facebook woes.

You can't go wrong with Handcent !
My facebook photos were showing up in my contacts, but not in my messaging. I got SyncMyPix as well and it worked like a charm.
EDIT: Oops just saw Frank29 post. He already mentioned SyncMyPix.

Awesome find, and thanks for the suggestion. Works perfectly. (Hit thanks!)
Hey guys and gals, on my old htc hd2 it the facebook app would match up my contacts with online frinds and update the contact images with their facebook photos. Anyone know how to do the same kinda thing with the xoom? It was a really nifty feature.

If you just want pictures use syncmypix from market... Friendcaster for tab does contacts I'm pretty sure

I'm sure this question has come up lots of times I just never looked into it cuz I thought it was just me. Facebook Sync has never worked on my Xoom, not with any of the roms I've used. I just flashed [ROM][ICS] Team Eos ICS 1.0.0... Does anyone have a solution for this problem???
Thank You!!!

You can sync Facebook contacts using FriendCaster in the market. But it won't sync any events. I too am looking for a fix for this. I hate trying to remember all the birthdays. When its sync'd it shows up on the calendar.
So I setup my facebook as an account and told it to sync everything. The problem I am having is that the pictures are not being downloaded for most contacts.
I went into the address book and selected to view just facebook contacts and 99% of people who I did not like to a contact did not have a picture. The same could be seen for people's bdays who appear in my calendar.
Anyone have a solution?
Unfortunately, it's a problem with ICS. Facebook and Google are having a bit of a pissing match, much like those between Apple and Oracle. No ICS ROM period can sync facebook pictures without jumping through some hoops.
There are solutions; look for an app called HaxSync on the market, it's a workaround but it does work.
Or as a free alternative, Friendcaster.

I knew about the facebook/google fight but I thought HTC's facebook implementation would get over it that just how alternatives like friendcaster can
try this:

its what i use. only downside is that it syncs EVERYTHING so you will have to link contacts to clean up your address book
It's been working fine for me. All of my contacts that have fb are synced and there pics are there

Contacts that have Facebook sync perfectly fine. It's the Facebook contacts, the ones that I don't have linked to my contacts, are the ones that don't have their pictures synced

I think the issue is with the HOX because it doesnt show up on Go SMS either. The only way I got it to show up was by installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
