Facebook Sync FAQ

Hey everyone,

Hopefully you find the answers to your questions here. If not, please shoot me an email!

1. It tells me I need cookies, what can I do?

Cookies Required

Basically, the Facebook Connect API is still in a relatively early “beta” version, and so this is a known bug that occurs. The fix is simple though – just put your password in again and try again. It always works the second time around in case the first time you don’t login.

2. Some of my Facebook friends have blurbs in their “About Me” fields but they aren’t getting sync-ed with the Notes in my contact book.

This could be due to the fact that sometimes Facebook users choose not to share certain pieces of information (i.e. they keep the “About Me” field private) in which case you can see it in their profiles but you cannot grab it through Facebook Connect. In other words, make sure that the user has given Facebook the proper permissions to give out information such as “About Me”.

3. Sometimes no status message pops up during an incoming/outgoing phone call.

If the user has no latest status then no toast (status message) will appear.

Hope this was helpful!
