I've always had issues with htcfacebook only syncing half my contacts and then either taking a week to finish or not at all. is there any other app thats syncs facebook to phone contacts or a way to force the htc app to do it?
Thanks.
I have both my Exchange account and my Facebook account setup to sync on my Vibrant. The calendar items that sync from Facebook show up fine on the phone and they are in turn synced to Exchange and show up in Outlook. The problem is, they all show up with the wrong time in Outlook... they are all 4 hours early. I live in the Eastern Time Zone, so I think it's that they are listed as Pacific Time. Is there any way to change that?
Also, everytime the phone does a scheduled sync of the Facebook calendar, it adds another copy of the Facebook events to my Outlook calendar. It creates a new one every time. Any suggestions?
For now, I've just had to disable calendar sync for the Facebook account on the phone, but I'd like them to sync.
Doesn't anyone else have their phone syncing with their Exchange and Facebook calendars? If so, do you see the wrong time and duplicates for Facebook calendar items that are added to you Exchange calendar in Outlook?
Someone else must have their phones syncing their Exchange and Facebook calendars, right?
I haven't had this exact problem but something very similar. I use calWidget to display my agenda on my home screen. Any of my face book events that show up on there are behind by 5 hours. When I click to enter the calendar app though, the correct times are listed. This only happens with my facebook events. So you're not alone Yogi, but I have no solution for you.

Thanks for the response. At least now I know I'm not crazy.
You aren't tripping, I have the same exact problem. The only difference is mine are off by 7 hours. Its really pissing me off, and makes my widget totally useless. UGH!!!!!!

Yogi, I am currently experiencing the exact same problem here in our office with one user. The question I have, is why is Active sync even pulling in the Facebook calendar events? My user happens to be using the same email address for both Facebook and work email accounts, could that be why Active sync is pulling the events? In any event, if at this point I could get the Facebook events to show up on the users phone and not her outlook that would be fine. The best solution would be to get the FB events to show up properly in her outlook, (they are showing up about 4 hours early) at the right times and not repeating themselves.
Did you find any solutions?

Unfortunately, no, I never found a solution to this.
I noticed when my phone is sync-ing with Google, I can't view or edit the events on my calendar. Is anyone experiencing the same problem and if there is a fix for it?

im trying to sync FB contacts with my regular contacts list. now, on Froyo there was a menu item to sync with FB. but now, on Gingerbread, that option is gone. most of my contacts are synced but some people who have different FB names, FB wont sync them and i cant do it manually. any way to do this??
i figured it out, disregard. in edit contact you need to select "join" then loacate their FB page. slow and silly, but it worked.
Wait you got the pics to sync with the contacts?

yes. at first, FB synced like 95% of my contacts but left some not synced. i had to figure our how to manually sync them. you have to go into edit contacts, then "join" contacts to another contact (the FB one) then save it. more steps than it was on Froyo, but it worked.
I think this may solve the issue I'm having. Thanks.
I noticed I can't add any additional info to a facebook contact. I'm guessing the only way around this is to create a new contact and then join them?
Does this also update pictures as well? I see that fb has sync contact info but not pictures. Any insight is helpful.

WHich rom are you on......what settings have you got in facebook...sync all?
I'm on stock GB.
I went into my Accounts & Sync, then my gmail account and clicked sync Calendar and now I have all my Facebook events in my Calendar (on my phone).
EDIT: Okay sorry, never mind. I did have a facebook account setup in accounts & sync. I removed it and resynced everything is good now. Thank you.
