Having a issue with pictures not being displayed in the Facebook app. Pictures show up perfectly fine in my news feed, except for in facebook groups just a box. The pictures do appear when I click on them however..
Can anyone else confirm they're have the same issues. Works fine on my N4.

Hey guys,
Just flashed to 2.2 and its working great. Only annoyance is contact pictures no longer show up in the messaging app. They show up fine in contacts, but won't show in the message app. I've seen a lot of users with similar issues, but not many on Samsung phones.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hmm just noticed this on mine as well.
Well the issue seems to be app specific. Downloaded Handcent and Chomp and they pulled the images perfectly fine.
It appears the messaging app no longer pulls pictures from linked accounts. Set one by hand on the main contact and it started pulling the picture so I guess it can be fixed with one of the Facebook photo sync apps. Annoying but seems like the only solution at the moment.
For starters I'm on an HTC Thunderbolt running Android 2.2.
I prefer Facebook For Android over the HTC version, and I'm hoping I can get this sorted out.
I can get my contacts to sync, even if I have to do it manually. However, I'm not sure how to get it to sync correctly for me. For example, when I'm sending texts it shows their picture for each of their texts, but for my picture in the conversation it's just one of those default silhouettes, rather than using my facebook picture.
Any fix for this?
Maybe you could try option "Always sync with facebook" or you could also use
SyncMyPix (App on Market). This will do the job for ya!
not sure how you can possibly like the facebook app better than htc's offering...it doesnt work lol...ive had the same problem you have on like 7 different non-sense roms...and i keep coming back b/c of the integration ...havent tried syncmypix though..sounds interesting
all i know is the picture doesn't automatically sync, you have to attach your pic in the people view to attach your facebook picture
Thanks for the assistance everyone. I caved and I'm just using the HTC Facebook solely for syncing contacts, as it does it fantastically.
Now if only the Facebook for Android had working push notifications.....
yeah, you have to either use the HTC facebook to get your pic to show or make a contact of yourself. I had read it had to be named "ME" but I named mine my full name and I think I did a nickname of "ME". HTC does really have the best facebook sync abilities, one of the few things I miss about SenseUI..
well I tried syncmypix and it works like a charm...so give that a shot if you really are against using friendstream

Great app! solved all my FB pic woes!
I'm using SyncMyPix but it doesnt seem to be syncing correctly. Anyone facing similar issue? It used to work flawlessly, not sure what went wrong.
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 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.
Anyone having a problem attaching pics using Gmail app? They never attach, regardless of how I try. Very irritating. I've had to download another email app just to send pics.
No. Mine's fine with the stock Gallery app. But try QuickPic and see if it helps.

I like QuickPic too --- I just like the way it works ---- and Photo Editor works easily for quickly resizing -- I found the attach take forever to load (maybe never load..... I gave up waiting) so I resize the photos,,,, works great.

I noticed the same thing and found that the Gmail app only attaches files that are stored in device storage. Every time I tried to attach a file stored on microsd the message goes through sans attachment.
Not sure if this is a bug or deliberate but it definitely makes the app less useful.
My issue was the opposite. I had a picture attached to an email (.jpg). And on the TF700 when I download or view it, it ends up blank. It works fine and displays fine on my SGS2. But not on the tablet. I tried deleting the saved file and re-downloading it from gmail many times and it was always a blank file with 0 KB.
