Re: 2.1..STILL not able to sync contacts pics with facebook?

I'm running stock 2.1 and my contacts sync up fine with FB profiles and photos.

I'm using Exchange to handle my contacts and in the "notes" field of exchange I have a code that looks like this:

<FDMID>#######</FDMID><sn>id:##########/friendof:###############</sn>
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:##########/friendof:###############</Facebook>
</HTCData>

Where each # sign represents an actual number that I have hidden for privacy.

The first one indicates that this person is on my favorites list. The second one indicates that I have linked that contact with their facebook profile.

A couple of times I couldn't get the profile to sync so I deleted that code in their contact file (using outlook) and "relinked" the contact with FB and that fixed the problem. The other thing I did was after updating the facebook app, I went to the friends list via the app and scrolled through my list of friends. I didn't scroll down until all FB picture appeared on a page (sometimes this took a few seconds). That helped add a photo or two as well. Since then, I've had no problems with FB pictures in my contacts.

I hope this helps.
