    i just upgraded from my OG Droid 1 to the new droid 3. so far im liking the new phone, but im absolutely hating the fact that i cant get facebook to sync with my contacts. My gmail contacts, calendar, etc all synced immediately from my gmail account. i then added my facebook account, but it is not syncing with my contacts. no contact photos, no employer info, no email addresses. nothing! i have tried everything i can think of. i went into display options and checked facebook contacts, it added no one. i tried to uninstall/reinstall, nothing. i tried to redownload facebook, nothing. i tried to remove account, then add it again, nothing. i treid to use the phone's "social Networking" app, nothing. On my Droid 1 i was always prompted after adding a facebook account to "Sync all Contacts", this phone did not present the option. If someone has solved this problem or at least has experienced it please let me know. i feel like im all alone on this one right now.

    Google stopped support for that with 2.3, correct me if I'm wrong. You would have to use a thrid party app to sync anything facebook-contact related (which I'm opposed to). I'm sure other people have plenty of suggestions.

    Look under Settings, Accounts for a facebook account. If it isn't there, add it.

    Go back to my original suggestion. I'm using the market app and sync my facebook contacts using Accounts. I've tested the effect on battery power and it is minimal.
