Help How to get Facebook contact pics to contacts list

We won't get facebook pictures from facebook to your contact until froyo.


That's not true. I synced a lot of my FB contacts, and they all show their profile picture in the Contacs list.

Now, if you have someone in your list as just a first name, it'll double up when you sync. (Example: John Smith was originally just John in your phone, and now FB added John Smith. You have to link the two together.)

Anyone know how to do this? I know the iphone had it and I believe the evo did also. Anyone know?

I posted this reply from another thread I posted in.

"Yeah took me a second to figure it out.

1. Open contact app
2. Click on the person you want to sync up.
3.Click on Link contacts.
4. Click on add link contact at the bottom.
5. Click on Get friends.***
6. Click on Facebook and select the friend that you want to sync up with.

The thing is the name has to match up with the name in FB or it wont link together... It will create another entry for the FB contact.

***Your FB account should be there... If not heres the steps to add your facebook account.

1. Open contact app
2. Hit the settings key
3. Click on Account.
4. Add account."

Are you talking about the contact folder and not groups folder? In the contact folder it's still the same, in the groups folder under facebook it's there.
