syncing Facebook to phone contacts

---

im running CORE cell evo ROM and im trying to sync my friends FB pictures to my contacts, but dont know how, ANY HELP?

Go into phone app, tap all people, scroll to the right where there should be a facebook icon, link your contacts to profiles, and update. You also may have to login to your facebook account first in the Data Services option in the Settings tab.

I just log into Facebook on my phone and it automatically updates all of my contacts. If your FB buddies don't have the same phone number that your phone has for them then it won't do it...

Still no luck!

Do you have Facebook Set Data Sync turned on in Settings/Data Services, with the Download data automatically box checked as well?

u have to have ur sim contacts imported to ur phone. it won't work on ur sim contacts. after importing ur contacts ( go to phone-all people- menu-import contacts) it should work.
kinda sucks since u'll have to sets of contacts for each one (sim and phone contact) so then hit menu - view- contacts. this will show u only the phone contacnts. then u will have to click on each contact. click on edit information - then on the top right theres a box showing a contact pic, click on it and it will give u an option to link the contact to facebook.
But for some reason, after getting all this done if u go back to data services and have facebook sync data off, u will lose all the pics..
I put it off coz i dont want push notifications from facebook..is that wat facebook sync does when its on ? push notification? will it constatnly connect online and check for notifications ? or only update when i connect?

Facebook syncing only auto updates every 2 hours as stated in the data services menu. It's not push notifications.
