You can't. Support was removed back in 2.3.x for the Nexus S. Issues with Facebooks use of Google API's & local storage of contact data or something along those lines. Should be plenty if you search - either on XDA or on the wider intewebs.

whoa whoa whoa...
let's say I have all important people in my google contacts. I have manually related every one of them to corresponding facebook contacts so that essentially I could see their FB profile photo.
seriously, cannot that be acomplished using GNex??

Facebook Sync
Don't fret folks. There are other options. I use Contapps. It has a feature to sync HIGH QUALITY facebook pictures. You're going to have to go with the pro version.

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).

Facebook not syncing photos with contacts

Sorry if this question has already been asked, I searched, which is useless with the xda app and did not find anything. Has anyone else had issue with Facebook contact photos not syncing with contacts in address book?

Did you check the sync settings for facebook and select "sync with contacts"?

Facebook decided it wasn't going to place nice with google anymore and throw up all kind of restrictions on the API to sync contact pictures with Android. Basically it's not even supported with JB so that means you need to use a 3rd party app unfortunately. Don't ask me for sources because I read it somewhere when I was researching why my contact pictures weren't syncing. I just tried to go back and find where I read it but couldn't find it.
Personally, I've been using this app on the market: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.

Yeah, I read about Facebook not playing well with JB. I just use Friendcaster to sync contact photos then remembered to un sync it after it drained the battery not allowing the phone to sleep, if you don't un sync it syncs constantly.

Friendcaster doesn't have the option of how often it syncs? The app I recommended does. I have it set to once a day on wifi only. And you can specify how large you want the picture to be. High Quality photos on the N2 is amazing!!!

Need multi account Twitter, you Facebook app

Hey all,
I am a Web site developer and because of this I control a bunch of Twitter and Facebook accounts for various websites and clients.
I need social apps that Allow more then one account. The only one I have found and have used is Tabr and is ok but I need something better.
Also, are there any social apps that let you actually manage your data? I want to be able to add users, find users, manage pages, etc. I have not found app that allows too much.
Thanks, I really appreciate the help.

HOW I INSTAL FACEBOOK HOME ON MY ACE (S5830i)

HOW I INSTAL FACEBOOK HOME ON MY ACE (S5830i)

what do you mean?
just install it like any other app, there are 2 apps you will need to install, the facebook app and the messenger app. If you already have FB app then uninstall it before installing the new one.
Just read the thread, everything is given there.
