Would like to know if I can join my own entry in the people app right at the very top of the list to add a picture and contact info from my google account. I find it a little untidy and annoying I can't seem to find an option to do this.

It would be nice to do indeed. Don't know how though. Still waiting for the phone to arrive.
It should just do it automatically. I didn't have to do anything for it to link mine up.

Hey.
I have just got this awesome phone.
But I can't find a way to sync my facebook contracts with google contracts. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do that.?

You can't. The app doesn't support it. The only contact sync that works is Google+ out of the box.
Okay thanks for the answer. Hope that they will change that soon

That's all up to Facebook. Hopefully they add it back in. The API is available for them to do so in a new version of the app. Google isn't restricting them or anything.
Friendcaster app can sync with the people app in ICS.. But the photo are not high definition!
Nexus devices have always had this feature excluded.

No they have not. I can sync just fine on my Nexus One. Also, it's not that the feature was excluded. Facebook used to have a backdoor API that allowed them to sync in Android that other developers couldn't use. Google removed it in the newer versions of Android. This means that for it to keep working, Facebook would have to update their app to use the public API for contact syncing (that's been there the whole time) and allow the user more control of their own info. They have not done so.
It's Facebook's app that's the problem here. It's nothing specific to the Nexus devices in general. You just notice it more in Nexus devices because they don't have manufacturer created Facebook apps (i.e. HTC's custom made FB app that syncs properly).
I have the Facebook app working fine but when I try to add a Facebook account in the accounts section of settings nothing happens. When I click on the Facebook icon literally nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Everyone is. There are a LOT of threads on this already. Due to a failure on Facebook's part to properly use the Android Contact APIs, Facebook contact syncing is currently NOT supported.
Well don't I feel stupid. I did do a search but didn't find anything. Thanks for your help. Sorry for the duplicate thread.

No problem; the search function on this and most forums is sorely lacking anyway, at least in my experience.

Just to let you know, you can sync your contacts by getting the friendcaster app or a new app called haxsync which works really well.
Yrs haxsync works awesome

Hi All,
how to get the Gmail application asking for a password rather than going straight to my inbox / conversations... ?
Thanks in advance,
Wolf
Sign out? Or get an app that can password protect other apps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I can't find any " Sign out " while i am in the Gmail app !
That will be a nice option though ...
I don't think it's possible to sign out of your Google account on your phone. There are probably some third party applications that can hide or protect Gmail.
Alternatively, you could create a second Gmail account and unsync your primary... just a thought I haven't needed to hide an account so I'm not sure what Gmail will do I. That scenario.
Good luck

Wow I could have sworn I had seen one, but I guess not cause I can't find it lol. Just get an app that password protects other apps

Since YOU didn't find it as well, lol
I will get an app that password protects other apps
Sorry about that
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Hi All,
what app do you recommend to password protect other apps ?
Thanks
I used to use the one in zd box. And btw, if you force close the app that is password protecting another app it will stop protecting it. So don't find this out the hard way if you're hiding stuff from your wife or gf or whatever lol

Anyone know how to import your instagram photos to Facebook. I have tried sharing it to Facebook, but it will only give a link. I see that some people can import their pictures to a Facebook album called "instagram photos." Can anyone help?

Dude just try a Google search you'll get an answer quicker.

I tried that and can't find nothing. Thats why I'm here..

Its handled by Facebook. Whenever you post to Facebook from the Instagram app, it by default creates an album called "Instagram photos".
Its an app for hipsters.
So chances are, they won't tell you how it works.

Its not, I think its because the galaxy nexus doesn't have Facebook sync support. When I upload a photo, it never appears on my fb account, even though I linked my account.. the same goes with twitter.
Kudos to the person who can find the solution.

Mind sharing how you got it to work? I'm having the same issue...
Haha please elaborate? I must be having a derp moment if it's that easy to figure out...
In the settings under "edit sharing settings" I have it linked to my fb account. However I thought that the photos would automatically upload just like that. But when you upload a new photo, you have to check the fb box, and then upload picture.

Oic... thanks. I thought it was automatic as well

I wanna add my email account to the Android market app to my little brothers phone, he has a galaxy note 2 aswell, so he can use the apps i use, is there a way possible of doing this without him getting all my emails and contacts?
Is there a way i can transfer all my google purchases to another email account?

It can be done, I shared some of my apps with my mom. I don't think it's right or fair to share paid apps because it's stealing and dishonest. Only you paid to use the app. XDA is not the place to ask how to cheat developers or steal from them and to do so will likely result in getting yourself banned.
It's actually easier to use S Beam to share apps between devices that have this feature. A lot of my co workers have SGIII and one has Note2 and we use S Beam to share photos, videos, and apps all the time.

Not looking to cheat out devs, if that was the case, id just side load the apps, can easily find em online and skip the license checking aswell. My little brother is in 8th grade, not really working or anything. And i buy apps that he uses alone aswell.
And the reason to switch the purchases to another account was so i can keep my personal emails contacts and calendars separate from google app side of things.
Thanks for the input thou

Just add your account to play store on his phone, just don't sync anything else. I did it on my mom's note2.
