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

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).
Since getting the Galaxy Nexus it appears the Facebook app lost the option to sync contact pictures...anyone know of a work around or possibly another app that will do that for me?
Thanks in advance

You can read a bit about it in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393924
You can use a custom ROM - Paul O'Brien from MoDaCo has enabled it with the Facebook app but quality is pretty poo at the moment. But at least it works
Use the app friendcaster it will let ypu sync ypur facebook contacts on the nexus

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.
Have anybody been able to sync their Twitter contacts to the default phonebook? im on 2.3.6, DXLA2.
And also, how to remove Twitter account from Samsung's Social Hub?

Check this, Twitter Contact Sync is currently unavailable
About how to remove the social hub, I removed the app, thus... I don't know, sorry

thanks! I thought it was our phone's issue. First time i tried to sync Twitter contacts and it fails.
Will try to check other forums on the Social Hub issue. I suppose it comes standard on other Samsung phones right?

As far as I know, Social Hub is a samsung apps, thus it *should* be available on the other samsung phones
I understood that the new facebook 1.9.1 would sync contacts with ICS but I do not have this option in my GNex with stock 4.0.4.
Anyone else?

It doesn't sync at this time. It shows as an account you can sync, but falls to sync when you tell it to. Google blocks Facebook from sync at this time. Read the other thread about this same topic that was posted yesterday.

well my problem is that I don't even have the option to sync in the accounts manager 9see attached screenshot)
can you pls point me to the thread?
You should keep in mind that facebook copies all of your contact data onto their servers.
This really upset me when I found out about it, so I deleted the facebook app from my devices.
