    I don't want facebook to take over my contact photos

    Is there a way to set up the facebook account widget and not have it take over your contact photos?

    My brother and dad have the same name, my dad has facebook, my brother does not. So the facebook app took it upon itself to take my dads facebook image and apply it to my brother's contact entry. It doesn't seem you can change it, or I haven't found the setting.

    One option would be to download the regular Facebook app and not use the built-in Blur version. Just make sure you delete your facebook from 'accounts'.

    In your contact info - is your brother's contact linked to your Dad's FB profile? If so, unlink (menu button) and then delete the photo thru contact edit.

    Failure isn't falling down, failure is staying down.

    This is exactly why I refuse to use the Blur's social networking stuff - it hijacks your phone contacts. If it simply left those alone, then I think it would be a 600% better product.

    Yes my brothers contact is linked to my dad's facebook. I unlinked it and all is good, Thanks.

    Another thing that sucks about the blur facebook is you cannot delete a contact if they are a facebook friend.

    Good you got it. Yeah that does suck. Let us delete Fb contacts Moto!

    I found you can go My Accounts>Menu button>Picture source, but it only gives Fb or Twitter as source options, no Gmail option like on the HTC's lame Motorola.

    I had the same problem. Uninstalled the Blur FB widget (and ACCOUNT!) and went back to using Gmail contact pictures, which works very well. I simply downloaded the regular FB app to deal with FB. Too bad they don't give you a choice between Blur FB and GMail as the source of contact pictures. That would have solved the problem.
