Ok first, I LOVE my touch pro 2, so much nicer than tp1...

i love how i can sync my contacts photo's with facebook... but i have a slight problem... some user pics dont resize to the correct portion of them... like a few girls i just see their mid section... not that im always complaining but id like to see their face.. any idea on how to move the picture?

thanks

hmm, that sounds interesting. It might just be a problem with the photo itself being too large. So beyond telling your friends to post different profile photos, I'm not quite sure what you can do. I would recommend SkyBook at this time, but it's currently having some problems communicating with Facebook. That program would let you sign into your facebook and browse through your friends pictures and choose whatever one you want to set as the contact picture. Try keeping an eye out for that. In the meantime, try saving the photo from a browser, editing the way you want and associating it with the contact.

It may also have something to do with the resolution of their pic.

If you put 2 identical pictures on your phone, one is 20x40 pixels and the other is 200x400, when you associate the pics with a contact two different things happen. Choose the larger one and you're brought to a screen where you can choose the area to be cropped out. With the lower res photo it just centers and you never see the cropping screen.

Do you have that issue with every single facebook pic? Maybe it's that the pictures are downloaded off the tiny thumbnail instead of the higher res photo that's behind it.
