Facebook Contact Pictures Wont Stay

So some of my contact list are connected to face book and some time the photos will stay and most of the time they don't even after I refresh them with facebook.
Don't forget to check your cinch!

I have the same problem. I saw the solution here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/help/caller-id-photo-t2895902, but i think that there should be the solution without 3rd party apps

  • Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s

    I am trying to have my Facebook contact pictures show up in my iPhone 4s.  I have the FB app installed AND already followed these steps in the FB app:
    1.  Friends 
    2.  Sync Contacts
    3.  Synching (turned on)
    4.  Replace photos (turned on)
    Now, it did work for a very select few contacts, like 6...  For examples:
    For my contact "Allison" it added her current FB profile pic & put a bunch of gibberish under notes (<sn>id:122360 etc...) 
    For my friend "Pat (Last name)" it added his current FB profile pic but did NOT put a bunch of gibberish under notes. 
    For another contact it did not add the picture but still put the gibberish in notes. 
    It doesn't seem to make a difference if I have someone by just their first name, a nickname or their full name.  Some work, some don't.  & that's where I'm at.  If there is some ez way to go individually into a contact & sync it to a FB profile, (like android) that would be ideal because it's not working this way.  I have read a lot of other's threads but no one seems to have any answers more than the steps I already did.  If anyone has any solutions it would be MUCH appreciated. 
    Thank you!

    Do you mean it won't show up as the little icon in Music, for example?
    For some reason, Apple decided to remove that icon even though there is plenty of space available for it.  You must now use Control Center to access this functionality, if I am understanding your problem.  Swipe up from the bottom of the screen and look for the AirPlay icon.
    This is a senseless regression on the part of Apple, one of many arbitrary changes that users have to figure out.  This goes against Apple's previous culture, that made iOS something even a toddler can figure out.  Now we need a modicum of expertise to use this OS.  That's bad....

When you view it from safari, no pictures are shown and it looks like html script texts. In facebook app, there are texts but no no images shown. thanks.

    Where did you get the device?  Is it possible that it has an IT policy on the device blocking Facebook and/or Facebook options?  Look in Options >Security Options >General Settings (actual menu paths vary with OS version) and see if there is any reference to IT policy.

  • Facebook contact pictures

    Hi all,
    I upgraded from a Z1 now and loving this Z3. I've noticed however that the Xperia with Facebook app isn't syncing the high resolution pictures of my contacts. I'm wondering if this feature is missing or removed. Has anyone else noticed this?

  • Contact Picture sync behavior

    Problem: I add a new contact picture on the iPhone, later sync: the pic loses its resolution and becomes a low-res 'Address Book' picture that appears in the top-right corner when someone calls.
    I know the topic of contact pic has been hashed out lots already, but I haven't found this answer yet. How do I get my iPhone contact pictures to stay on my iPhone contacts in full resolution after syncing to MacBook Address Book?
    What happens: take a new picture with the iPhone by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Take Photo, or add a picture by going to the contact / Edit / add photo / Choose Existing Photo -- the contact picture will be a full-screen full-res contact photo; the person will call and their picture will be the full background on the phone call display. Then I sync a couple times with my MacBook with 'Sync Address Book contacts' checked: the full-res photo will be lost, replaced by a low-res version that only appears in the top-right when the person calls.
    It's like the first sync Address Book receives the photo from the iPhone, the 2nd sync the iPhoto replaces the high-res photo with the low-res one that Address Book is using. When it happens with a new photo it appears there is no way to recover the higher-res photo (very sad sometimes). It doesn't happen 100% of the time - perhaps there's a variable I'm not seeing.
    Others have said that you only get the low-res, top-right picture if you assign the photo to the contact in Address Book on the computer, but I'm also getting it when I simply sync to the computer. I've never added contact pictures using Address Book.
    My wish: Address Book would accept the higher-res version photo. Fallback wish: Address Book uses a low-res version, iPhone keeps it's higher-res version. At the very least, let me choose which device takes precedent in sync!
    Is there a workaround? A way to recover the higher-res version? A way to make the higher-res picture stick? Mostly I want to know: is anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks for any info in advance.

    It seems that with each upgrade the feature that allow you to assign a photo to a contact keeps changing the way it works. When I select a photo and used the cropping tools, the results are not even close to what you selected on screen with the crop and zoom functions.
    How do we get this bug fixed!
    Thanks!

  • Facebook profile pictures not showing up in my Contacts

    For some reason only two or three of my contacts show their facebook profile pictures, even though probably 75% of my contacts have facebook photos... why would the pics only show for a few contacts?  And how do I fix it?  I've checked FB settings and phone settings, but I must be missing something!
    Solved!

    You can easily delete your Facebook account from the #Z10, reboot and set it up yet again and allow those pictures to sync.

  • Sync wont update contact pictures on Windows 7 Contacts

    I use the application MyPhone to sync new facebook pictures to my iPhone contacts.
    I also use iTunes 10.1.0.54 to sync with my iPhone 4 and have it set to sync contacts with 'Windows Contacts'. That ends up coming into the 'Contacts' folder in 'My Documents'.
    Although, when I update the pictures with MyPhone and try to sync them back to my Contacts it does not update the Contacts on Windows.
    Surely I cant be the only one with this issue. Is there a fix?

    When you're syncing your iPhone with iTunes, are the new contact pictures on your iPhone reverting back to match the photos in Windows Contacts?
    I'm also a windows 7 user and I sync with windows contacts as well. What I have noticed, although I sync over the air with MobileMe, is that syncing with windows contacts is not too reliable. Eventually changes will show, but it may take a few syncs and photo updates. Maybe try downloading windows live connector and link your windows live ID with your Facebook account. I believe this too will sync contact photos with their Facebook photo.

  • Unlink Facebook 'home page' & contact pictures

    I have Facebook contact sync off, but it has been synced before (so the pictures in their contact cards are their FB profile pictures). Is there a way to remove these photos and the 'home page'/facebook link, other than manually?
    For example in each contact that was previously linked to a FB account, in their contact card there is a 'home page' field (fb://profile/00000) and a 'Facebook' field with their name. I want all of this crap gone!!
    Thanks!

    I agree is is not a third party issue.  My phone has been crazy since the update (but wasn't great before).  This is my second phone because of problems I have had with it.  It does crazy things like when I unlock the screen the time is ALWAYS exactly an hour prior to the actual time (and the time zone is correct). Also, when I go to send a text message, the message appear correctly but if I click on them quickly when I start typing I am actually sending the message to the person that was in that message slot 24 hours before.  My text messages no longer show my contact photos even though I don't have "phone only" checked.  I have tried both with and without being synched to FB but still no success.  And another weird thing, since the update I have discovered I am able to take a screen shot and that is without an app because I've never downloaded one or even tried that...it was an accident the first time and I did it again and again and it works.  Craziest phone I've ever seen.  I do want a solution to my photos being in my text message contacts.  Their names are there with their numbers, just no photos, no matter if it is a saved photo from the phone or a FB linked contact

  • Does Facebook integration in iOS6 replace my contact pictures? Cause i don't want that!

    That's pretty much it. I'd like to connect to Facebook, but I wanna keep the pictures I have for people, not their Facebook profil pictures.

    It does not, it creates another contact entry with the FB data. You can then switch viewing that off or on under contacts/groups.
    However, updated photos do not sync to icloud - at least not for me - so even they can be used to replace the photo in contacts on the phone they do not show up in icloud. Although I'd like to have that feature.

  • Updating Facebook Contact Profile Pictures

    Is there anyway to update the facebook contact profile pictures? Is there a button where i can press sync and it syncs them?

    At this time the only option to do this is with a third party application. The name of the application is SyncMyPix. Keep in mind all applications are from third party developers and are download at your own risk.

  • A problem in contacts pictures on my nokia n8

    Hello...
    I`m experiencing a problem with my n8. I added a picture to one of my contacts and right now his picture appears for all the rest of contacts (unless those with their own picture), also the picture appears for all the numbers I dial and for all the calls I`m receiving.
    In my contacts list, the picture appears just for one contact. I tried to delete the picture, and to remove it from the contact details, but this wasn't helpful. 
    Please help me.
    Solved!

    Dear haZey
    Thank you so much for your solution, IT WORKED GREAT! You saved me from having a nervous breakdown lol
    It appears that my problem of the (unnamed) being listed as contacts was due to the Nokia Social Facebook app from the Nokia store. This particular Nokia Social Facebook app is the one that allows you to link Facebook contacts, Facebook birthdays and Facebook events to your own contact list or calendar on your Nokia N8 phone. I will never use this particular Nokia Social Facebook app again.
    It made all my contacts on my phone have the name "(unnamed)" listed for every contact (Very annoying) (except for the contacts saved on the sim card remained the same).
    The 'soft reset' solution that you provided (ie
    Soft reset
    - enter *#7780# into your device's keypad and you will be prompted for a security code.
    - Security code by default is 12345
     ) solved the problem and restored the contacts to what they were. It did not ask me for a Security code.
    After the Soft Reset, all my photos and videos stayed the same, it removed shortcuts to apps that I had on my 4 home screens and replaced them with the default apps. It also removed my backgrounds and replaced them with default backgrounds. Is also changed the appearance of the clock on the screensaver.
    My Nokia N8 phone also said it removed a faulty app, but I am unsure which app it was and not too concerned about it.
    I will be doing a back up of my phone tonite. I will also be purchasing an unlocked Nokia 808 Pureview once the price goes down to under AU$500-
    Thank you again for the solution to this very frustrating (unnamed) issue with the contacts.

  • Contact Picture Bugs

    I have 2 complaints about contact pictures. One is fixable in WebOS directly, the other may be Google's fault. My first problem occurred when I took a picture of my coworker with my Pre and used it as the contact picture. It synched with Google and worked fine, until I wanted to change his pic to another. I changed the photo using Google's contact editing page, and his photo is now correct in the contacts app on my Pre, but when he calls me, the old pic is what shows instead of the new one I set. I have deleted the pic from my Pre, and I cannot find anywhere that the image is assigned to his contact info, I only have his contact info coming from Google, nothing from Facebook or Exchange, or my Palm Profile.
    The other problem is with Google's contact picture sync. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed that images added to contacts from the Pre show up with lots of artifacts in Google's contacts page, the only way to avoid it is to add the picture from Google directly, not on the Pre. They are minor problems, but they make a difference to me. Thanks to anyone who can help me fix this, or to Palm when they make the changes. 
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    It seems that with each upgrade the feature that allow you to assign a photo to a contact keeps changing the way it works. When I select a photo and used the cropping tools, the results are not even close to what you selected on screen with the crop and zoom functions.

  • Facebook Contacts Profile Pics not updating on Incredible

    Just like the title says - after syncing everything with facebook to my current contacts (people) list, the current facebook display picture appears.  However, if one of my contacts changes their facebook display picture - it won't change in the contacts (people) list to the new, current display pic.  Even if you go into the online directories and update the facebook list you get the current display picture in that list but it doesn't transfer over to the linked phone contact display. 
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong or how to correct this?????

    I am experiencing the same thing, and it's bugging the heck out of me as well.   I have tried everything and it just doesn't add up.  I know that People is syncing with FB as I am seeing status updates, but I have at least 5 friends/contacts whose photos are not updated.  WEIRD if you ask me.
    I have sync'd, unsync'd, downloaded lastest FB widget, signed out of Facebook, signed out of FB for HTCSense, shut-off, turned on..... YOU NAME IT!
    Will sit tight until someone has a fix.
