Happened in the December leak version as well. Appears as though it hasn't been fixed. Contact pics are also blurry and pixilated for no reason.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I'm just thinking out loud here, but you could try going to Settings/Apps/All, selecting Contacts Storage, and clearing the data. Then go to Settings/Accounts, and re-sync your Facebook and Google accounts. Hopefully that will clean the Contacts slate, and allow you to repopulate it again with your usual contacts along with their correct photos.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I had 2 issues with this update related to my favorites contact widget.
!- When selecting a favorite only 8 contacts were given to me when I have over 80 to select from even if I did a search it would not find any other than the 8 listed.
2- All the pictures I had synched through FB that were associated through my favorites widgets disappeared.
I tried clearing out my contact storage and nothing. I tried.resetting my phone back to factory and this cleared issue number 1 but not number 2.Last edited by jrzydude; 03-14-2013 at 11:52 AM. Reason: Clearing my previous comment up

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I'll also jump in on this...
After taking the update yesterday about 1/3 of my pictures aren't showing in my gallery anymore. They're still on my sd card, just not showing up. Same thing for all the music on my sd card.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I have two Razor Maxx phones. After the update, all of the FB pictures disappeared from my Favorites list on one of the phones. They did not on the other. I did not do anything differently to update each phone to JB.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
My favorites lost the pictures too. The contacts were still there just without the pics. I use another 3rd party app and my favorites were completely missing from it. In the stock Moto favorites app I tapped on a particular contact to open it, then I long pressed the blank photo and was able to edit the contact. Added the photo back and it stuck. After adding the pics I checked my 3rd party app and my favorites were there. Prior to trying this method I had tried editing thru the contact app and it didn't fix the favorites. Weird.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I am also having this problem. Tried a factory reset and that did not work. Tried clearing the contacts cache which also did not work. I have pictures in the people directory, just not in the stock favorite contacts widget. Frustrating.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I believe the favorites app won't use FB synced pics in JB, don't know why though. It will use Google+ pics. You can also add a contact pic and it will use that as well.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
If you join the Facebook account sync with your additional personal info for that contact using the Facebook account and join the additional, you will keep their photo.

Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I resynched my FB contacts, "split" the contact, joined them each back together (my address book/Google contact with the FB contact) and it still hasn't fixed the problem.
It seems like a decision has been made to NOT use FB pics in the contacts list. For some reason. - 03-21-2013, 05:11 PM #14
Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
Mine is doing the same thing but it seems to be only the users that have Facebook pictures. Any that I have set a picture on are still there. There has got to be a way to fix this!!!
It doesnt seem to matter if they are joined or not - 03-24-2013, 07:54 PM #15
Re: Favorite contact pics disappeared after Jelly Bean update
I too have this issue. Until it is resolved, I downloaded the free "Contact Picture Sync" app. It will download the Facebook image and set it as the contact picture. It is a little buggy, but did the trick. Good work-around until Motorola fixes the issue.
