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?

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.

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
Is there a way to get the Facebook icons to show up as the caller id picture in the messaging app. Works fine on my previous Android phoned. Got the contacts linked to there Facebook profile and it shows there Facebook picture in the phonebook but not in the messaging app for some reason.
In the contact file listing where you can see all the merged google and Facebook info if you long press on the displayed Facebook picture and select 'use this picture' it should change to that Facebook user's current profile picture.

You could also download the app "SyncMyPix" this did the trick for me!

same question here.
i have disabled facebook syncing from accounts (after linking my contacts) but still the pictures get updated once they are changed on facebook
remove the Facebook account from "Settings > Accounts & Sync" ?
Yes, remove facebook accounts from accounts and sync then restart phone. Check your contacts again if it still has the facebook photos of your contacts. You can add the facebook to your sync account after the problem corrects itself.
What I did is some work but I went manually into each contact that Facebook changed and choose "edit". Touch the picture on the top left corner and choose the Google account for picture source then save changes. I'm sure it changed all of Facebook contacts but I cared about only 6, who are in my Favorites...

The phone replaces Google contact pictures with Facebook ones when you make a certain change in "People". It also replaces Phone pictures with Google or Facebook ones. I'm not sure it does this when ANY change is made to People, or just a certain one (like changing an unrelated contact picture).
It's an annoying bug… I doubt it can be fixed properly :\
Thanks for your replies, deleting the Facebook account in Account & Sync doesnt work as when u run Facebook it asks you for your login info & then just recreates the account...Changing the pictures manually back to google photos works until a resync happens then they get replaced with google ones again...

This method works... as I had the same problem, the only problem is it takes time, if you have lots of contacts.

I've got a strange problem on my Viper 2.2.0. I know that the pixeled profile picture issue is known and I found a lot about this but many users say that this is fixed by Google and if you have problems anyway you can try tools like Hax Sync or Sync me e.g. None of this tools have any effect to the quality of the images. I've also tried turning Google contact sync off and than change a profile pic but this doesn't work either. Also if I choose a picture from my own (!!!) gallery or take a snapshot the quality is instantly crap. Without any sync. So it must be a issue with my handset!?
Does anybody know a working fix? Likely one to use profile pictures from Facebook (like hax sync should do)!

Clear Data for Apps "Contact Storage" and "People" did the trick for me. But be careful you have a backup or a up to date sync with Google because all your contacts are going to be deleted!!
