Facebook Contact Picture Syncing Problem

**mcguirej** · 04-20-2012, 02:00 PM

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I rooted my Droid Incredible last night (I know I am a little behind the times) and am running the latest CyanogenMod ROM. The only major thing I have noticed is that none of the pictures for my contacts are being synced with Facebook. I have it set so only my Google contacts are being synced. If my understanding is correct, that should propagate certain Facebook information (including profile pictures) to my contacts? I know at least a portion of the syncing is working because each contact has a Facebook status and link to their Facebook page, just no picture.

I would appreciate any suggestions (well, except Friendcaster - I would rather not have to install and leave another app on my phone for this).

I could be wrong but I recall reading that this is a problem on Facebook's end, and that they won't update their code or something, thus making what you want not possible.

Awesome. Guess I will just turn off the contact pictures option. Thanks for the heads up.

Actually it's because you're using CM7 - HTC had a face book integration for the contacts that was separate from the Google contacts. I'm not sure - I don't use Facebook myself - but I think if you download the Facebook app then you can sync contacts again.

Thanks, I figured that's what it was. HTC's integration was really nice and that is one of the things I am missing, but not so much that I want to go back.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Facebook several times and can only get it to sync about 5% of the pictures. Its not a big deal though, just something I was hoping there was an easy fix for.

Also, I have been wondering what the Pville is referring to in your username?

For the past year or so I've been using a sweet little app called SyncMyPix:

Just install, sign into FB from the app, grant permissions, and schedule for often you want the app to sync your FB friends profile pics to your contacts.
