I have the Droid Pro and I have it set up so that my contacts pictures are whatever their default picture is on Facebook, but now a lot of people have changed their picture and I still have their old one on my contacts list for them.so how do I update all their pictures so that its their current Facebook default?
 
After you add your Facebook account to sync, open the Facebook app (on the homescreen) and go to Menu>Settings>Sync Contacts and turn on Sync all.
 
I wouldn't know. I still keep getting" an internal server error has occurred please try again later" message so I can't even add my fb account.
 
My friend just got a Droid X and he's having the same problem. However, I remember that he DOES have a "Sync" option... it just doesn't seem to really do anything. Regardless of what he sets for the Sync options, the pictures will never change. He has to actually completely uninstall the Facebook application and then reinstall it for it to pick up current profile pictures.

That's why I'm at this thread in the first place... to see if I can find help. I know the Pro and X aren't the same, but still...
 
I just something called SyncMyPix. I hate having contacts stored in the phone that I don't need, which is what Facebook sync does. I know I can hide them, but the fact that they're downloading at all bothers me. SyncMyPix just synchronizes the pictures, and birthdays if you want, and nothing else.
 
I wish people who don't have a Pro would stop responding to these questions. Droid Pro does NOT have this sync option.
