Also worth noting the "phone" app facebook has called Hello. Its like a gatekeeper for your phone calls with messenger integration on top.
Sidenote: does anyone know if it will finally sync my fb contacts with my phone?
Got my Pure just 3 weeks ago, the novelty still hasn't worn off ha.
Some people on XDA had this work for them: turn off phone, remove sim card, turn on phone. Check for updates via WiFi. Personally I just went ahead and flashed the latest TruePurX rom, it is 6.0.
If you figure this out let me know, I've been wanting pictures synced since my galaxy s4.
Can't you just use a file browser (like solidexplorer) to move the pictures manually?
Edit: What are the odds? Randomly browsing dialers on the play store and found this one. It connects to your Facebook and syncs pictures, numbers, emails, etc. with your contacts.
Hi Kipp.
Just wanted to follow up on this because of an update that I saw the other day. Facebook's dialer/contacts management application Hello seems to be the reason they pulled support for third parties to have access to profile pictures. In the last 10 or so days they implemented the contacts photo sync into this application in addition to several other features. Guess they felt they'd gain a significant competitive advantage if they precluded other services from offering that synchronization as easily.
Facebook removed their APIs for doing this kind of thing awhile ago. It sucks, but you can try using Facebook's own contacts/caller ID so app to help: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.phone
This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but you could use the Facebook Caller ID app called Hello https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.phone&hl=en
I tried it for a day and did not like it at all. But just throwing it out there. It might work for you.
Good news! You don't need to wait, you can try it right now. Play Store link here.
If you don't live in one of the countries where they have released the app (can't remember which ones right now), you can still download the apk from somewhere else and sideload it; it'll work.
US only I think.
Yeah I'm not cool with this. Facebook has an app that does something similar but using contact info the contacts provide themselves: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.phone
No silly.
There's also the Facebook hello app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.phone
facebook has a new app that might work for you. I am using it and so far it works pretty good.
My vote is for Hello. Been using it for a year or so, and haven't had any complaints. I also like the Hangouts Dialer if you happen to use Google Voice.
