My new Samsung Galaxy nexus will not let me add facebook to the account list? I can add email accounts google accounts etc. but when I click on the facebook list is just flashes and goes right back to the list screen. I have tried restarting phone and taking battery out. I can get the app for facebook that works fine, but I am trying to sync my contacts with facebook. Please help!!!!

Hmmm, I have an HTC Evo 3D with 2.3.4 and it can sync my contacts to their Facebook profiles just fine.
I wonder if only HTC phones can do this?
I would like to see this working on our Nexus Galaxy too!
HaxSync makes Facebook sync work with ICS.

Unzip a 4.0.3 rom take the contactsprovider.apk and contacts.apk and push them to your system/app partition with adb or es file explorer fix permission reboot and try
P.s. back up your contact first and I don't have a gnexus so I can't test but I'm about 99% sure it should

With hi-res pictures or the same as Paul O'Brien's hack for earlier ICS builds? I don't remember hearing Facebook changing to use the Google API

They listed a new Social Stream API. That does NOT mean that Facebook implements this API. Until Facebook makes the changes on their end, it will not sync with stock Android.

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).
guys, since switched to Galaxy Nexus, I found that my outlook exchange can't sync any calendar events older than 3 weeks!!??? do you guys have any problem with that? it really annoys me. I don't have this problem with GS2 and Desire. (my company uses Exchange server 2010)
Anybody annoyed by this problem? Or just me?

Have you found any solution to this then? I believe the closest solution would be Enhanced Email, but seems it hasn't support calendar sync for ICS yet.

Have tried Moxier mail.
It works, so it must be some bug in the stock synchronization.

Does Moxier integrate exchange calendar into phone's calendar like Enhanced Email or it's like TouchDown which has a separate database and view for your exchange account like TouchDown?
No, unfortunately it doesn't merge it whit the calendar, it's a standalone app.

have tried it, too bad it's another stand alone app, really got used to viewing all calendar details in month view and now I can't live with other apps
Enhanced Email supports ICS since v1.33, feeling good about it, past events are synced perfectly, (still gotta see if it has the wakelock bug which stock app has) but gotta pay 10USD for a feature that Google should've provided.

It doesn't work yet on stock ics
So is there any rom that can have this work?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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 pictures to contacts in JB? Haxsync seems to not work.
Sent from my Jelly Bean Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
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?

How strange I wonder how that's possible.
I use the 3rd party application FriendCaster and it works well for contact sync.

Hi. I know in previous versions of Facebook you could sync contacts (numbers/photos ect)
Does anybody know how to do this on the n4, or a way to import all the contacts photos and numbers?
I have already gone into settings>accounts and set contacts to sync from there but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ice Cream Sandwich and later versions of android don't allow Facebook contact syncing. My understanding is that this was because the way that Facebook had been allowed to do it in the past was a kludgy system that wasn't the same as the api available to other developers. Until Facebook decides to use the standard api, you have to use as third party app to make it work. I use one that's popular called Haxsync.

+1 for Haxsync
It is fantastic. You can sync your fb contacts - chose to sync those that match a contact you already have, or sync all.
It will also sync your fb calendar events and/or birthdays which I find really useful
+1 Haxsync. It syncs everything you might want and you can configure the sync in many ways.
It's not free though.
User that or Friendcaster for Facebook.

Does Haxsync still work in JB 4.2? If so do you need the app plus the work around?

You need the workaround. If you install just the app, it prompts you on first launch to install the workaround.
Haxsync works great.
