So i have this contact widget for one press dialing people, it works fine on my skyrocket, as well as on my old captivate.
my sister also got the same phone this week and i also installed it for her, but for some odd reason when i put up contacts most of them don't transfer the picture over. Dialing with it works fine but its annoying that their pictures don't show up.
I would think that maybe there's an issue with the address book contacts or how its set up but I'm not sure what's different from my phone since its the same model. some pictures are from Facebook sync and i made sure it was all synced up too.
Any theories or thoughts? I'm sure its possible there's an app problem but i have it working one one phone lol. Thanks!

What widget are you using?

Actually that's the name, contact widget

Lol. That's funny, I think. Its also early and I'm on vicodin and it's not helping much.
Anywho, try clearing out the data for that app. Go to:
Settings
Applications
Manage applications
Select 'contact widget'
Clear data
Then try it all again. Just to make sure - all contacts are syncing and showing up, just none of the pictures, right?

Yes that's right, there doesn't seem to be anything funny with the address book, within the widget the contact well show and works properly but just no picture for the contact. I'll have her try that thanks!

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.

Its what I did, however its when I receive a call or text message the fb pic doesn't show, its still blank.

Yea mine isn't syncing up right either. Picture is not showing 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?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I'm having the same issue. No clue how to fix it yet.
I know this donte help you much but I do not have that problem. I have all my contact pics showing.

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.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
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!)
Ok guys and girls I need the best way to sync FB photos to my contacts. Through the FB app it doesn't show the photo when you call but it shows it under contacts. I want to actually replace the image and sync it with google. I've used SyncMyPix but the quality sucks. I bought Full Screen Caller ID but need to get my money back due to no response back from the dev. It shows a nice image when calling but nothing during text or anything so kind of annoying. I want something that will sync as flawlessly as possible thanks!
Umm mine works fine with the FB app. Try changing the setting in the app to sync all see I'd that works. I noticed it worked like that on mine.

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.
Is anyone else having this issue? I only use one calendar and for some reason all my events are multiplied by 4 and I just have a feeling it's going to get worse. Does anyone have a fix for this. Running fully stocked.

Have the same thing going on with my work email, removing the account and readding it fixes it for a couple hours then it does it again. Also my contacts are multiplying.

Damn! Just looked at my contacts. Not good. It's almost like a mirror effect going on. I have a bad feeling it's just going to keep doubling until I have no room. I wonder if backup assistance is causing the problem?

I'm not using backup assistant, figured it was happening to me from a couple dirty flashes, but if you are running stock then that's not the case.

I had a similar problem on my Incredible because I have multiple Google accounts that have access to each other's calendars, so it would show all my events 2 and 3 times. Check your calendar settings and make sure it only shows one occurrence for each calendar name. Hope that helps.

I've been looking for a setting option like that for the last hour. Are you sure it exists on this phone? If so, I'd be grateful for your direction.
I deleted my corporate email and added it again. I'm no longer syncing contacts that's for sure.
Currently not being productive.
There are 2 places to look...
First, go under settings -> Accounts and sync. Check each account to see if "Sync Calendar" is checked.
Second, at the top of the calendar app main screen, hit the "Calendars" button. This will give you a list of available calendars to display. Mine has:
My Calendar = checked
My Tasks = checked
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked) and US holidays (unchecked)
[email protected] with an arrow to expand showing my calendar (checked), [email protected] (UNchecked), and US holidays (unchecked)
Show birthday with an arrow to expand showing "Contacts' birthdays" which is checked.
I left my other gmail accounts off this phone since I check them enough from work.
The problem I ran into on my Inc was from having my badseed767 calendar checked on 3 different accounts. Once I unchecked it on the extra accounts, it only showed up once.
Hope this helps.
No, but I appreciate the attempt. I was hoping there really was a way to ignore "same name" events. I had found the calendars menu and made sure only one of each account was checked and it was still multiplying everything. Then again it might have been too late since the events already multiplied. So this is what I did.
Deleted the email account. Joined all my contacts that could be combined. Setup the corporate email again and only synced the calendar and email. Went into calendar as you suggested above and made sure that only one corporate email was checked, then synced. So far no duplicates.

Sounds positive. I'm curious, do you have the Google sync thing running on a pc that syncs outlook to Google? Also, can you give us so insight on the exchange server? Curious if those having issues are imapi or pop3 configured etc.

Well... I honestly don't know. I'm new to Samsung/TWiz phones for the most part and I'm still trying to find my way around through all the settings.
As for Google being synced to Outlook, no, not intentionally at least. The only syncing I've done with Google has been on my phones. Hell, if I didn't have a phone, I'd never even look at gmail.
If I was on my HTC phone, I'd be able to answer your question on the server. Is there a way for me to see that somewhere in the settings? Haven't found it yet. If not, I'll try setting my phone up on my wife's phone(my old Rezound). However, I love to know where I can find that if it's an option.
EDIT: I can't find your answer. It's a corporate email if that helps.

Well, my plan didn't work. Events doubled. This is starting to drive me crazy!
