Android Contact Picture Sync?

[Peerzy]

A long time ago on my S2 I use to have all my contacts with nice pretty pictures in contacts and the same pretty pictures would show up on whatever messaging app I used (Handcent usually). The pictures came from Facebook.

At some point when using my S2 all these pictures disappeared and I just never bothered looking into it. I've since got an S3 which is doing the same thing. I have about 3 or 4 contacts with pictures (but I'm sure these are from Gmail accounts and not Facebook) out of my 150~ contacts.

I've got the FB app installed, I've told it to sync contacts, the contacts are linked correctly and the email address used for FB is set to sync in settings.

Yet no pretty pictures appear

Any ideas?

I had this problem with my S3. Here is the solution:

1) Open facebook app
2) Go to friends list
3) scroll up and down and wait till all the photos load
4) Photos should now appear as contact photos in Android*

*I had a couple that still didn't work

That's done about 60% which is good enough, although none of them are appearing in Handcent, it just gives everyone a default anon picture, apart from 1 of my friends who has a picture from his Gmail account is being displayed?
