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).

Problem with adding and syncing account

I can't add a facebook account in setting->account and sync, therefore I can't sync my contact with my facebook account like Whatsapp. Does anyone have same problem with me?
I'm using stock rom 4.0.1, galaxy nexus[GSM].
Sorry for my poor English.
Thx^^

There is a problem between google and Facebook regarding this. B, default this is disabled but through other ways (apps, root) you can still sync
Please use the search button in the galaxy nexus forum to get more info from threads where this was previously discussed.

Try HaxSync. It doesn't require root and will sync your Facebook contacts.

Or Nimbuzz do it too i think but the problem with this kind of app is it changes the pictures even if there are already one ...
I prefer when it's integrate

It doesn't work yet on stock ics

So is there any rom that can have this work?

Nearly all have a facebook sync option built in
Another option is HaxSync, a paid app that syncs high res facebook photos

I have flasshed a ROM called eagles blood mod, based on 4.03 and i can sync with facebook. However, i cant see the contact pics yet.

Im on aokp and it shows up

The solution in those roms gives low-res pictures though apparently. You might want to look at the Haxsync app on the market.

Q. Has anyone been able to figure out how to sync Facebook contacts in JB?

HaxSync - 4.x is the new update. The version is 2.3.5 and should now work with JellyBean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Haxsync ... I Beta'd the new version before release when i contacted the developer...
It also supports Higher Resolution photos so they look as good as G+ synced photos

+1 I can confirm that HaxSync is working w/ JB

No

The app facebook contact sync works.

Haxsync works but must reboot after install. (At least this is how I got it to work.)

HaxSync is also working for me, after a reboot. It's a great solution I think!
Have you guys installed the jelly bean workaround too?

Anyone know why aokp removed their Facebook sync in milestone 6?

How strange I wonder how that's possible.

I use the 3rd party application FriendCaster and it works well for contact sync.

HaxSync works best

I've had a similar problem with my Nexus. I ticked sync Facebook Contacts so I could merge them with my proper Google contacts but it seems that none are synced. There's also no option to configure the sync in the Facebook app.

Facebook sync has been broken for awhile. (Since like gingerbread) facebook hasn't fixed their app tip comply with the api
Haxsync works perfectly
