Default Facebook contact sync issue

Facebook, sense, contacts, image, pictureebook acct and told it to sync to existing contacts and back when I had the OG evo the contacts would automatically be updated with their facebook profile picture. Currently after many syncing attempts, restarts, etc the contacts still don't have their facebook profile pics and when I go to edit the contacts manually to add them when I click on facebook it doesn't have a picture. Is anybody else having this issue? (btw all of the contacts I've tried to manually map all have facebook profile pictures) Does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance

I was having this issue also, and my issue was fixed by doing two things.

1) In facebook (website), under "Account Settings -> Apps" I deleted HTC Sense (basically revoking HTC Sense access)

2) In Android "Settings -> Accounts & sync" I deleted Facebook, then readded it and made sure Sync Contacts was checkmarked.

HTC Sense should ask again to be allowed access to Facebook. Once accepting, the contact's profile pictures started trickling in.

The thing is if you're running a custom rom, the rom dev may not have included "Facebook_Client.apk" and "FacebookEngine.apk" which are essential to syncing facebook with htc sense.

Thanks for the tips, I was wondering why the syncing didn't work because I had to go into each contact and link them individually, which of course was a pain
