I installed CM9 Alpha2 on my phone. Everything is working fine, however, when I installed Facebook, there is no sync option in the Facebook settings.. Any idea as to why? I use that feature frequently to sync pictures and things. It worked fine on Calk's ROM. :/

Use Haxsync from the market, it works well. Only 99 cents

It's a known compatibility issue between Facebook and ICS. Basically Facebook and Google are having a little tiff and we have to suffer while they duke it out. Hopefully they'll get their acts together and we'll all be able to play nice again. In the meantime there is Haxsync. $.99 and it works great!
I just type in "Facebook Sync" in the Play Store and found a free app. It's working wonderfully! All is well. Thanks for the input guys.

I went to add a Facebook account, and it just takes me to the Facebook app login. Nothing shows up in accounts and sync.

I use syncmypics personally.
That's what I had to resort to. I thought everyone was mentioning that Android 2.1+ had native Facebook sync.
Not to my knowledge.
Um, yes acutally.
EVO's have a Facebook app that is SUPPOSED to sync contacts. But as of late the FB servers have not been syncing anything and it isn't just the rooted devices.
A friend of mine is running a 2.2 rom (NON cm6) off of another android board and he installed this Facebook: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734739 and he said it works.... It's worth a try if you haven't already.

can anyone tell me why facebook contacts show up but with no pictures? I'm running trinity kernel, would affect fb @ all? Anyone get working MyVerizon app on this build?
You need a custom ROM for contacts to work, and then you have to wait for it to actually then update them (which can take a while)
Which ROM are you using?
EDIT: Or are you on about the app not showing pictures?

I'm running AOKP build 24 and Trinity Kernel. When I was running stock rooted 4.0.4 it worked. It shows the contact just not their photo. I have the fb sync option in the actual fb app
Clear the app data and log in again, seems to do the trick

download haxsync for 99 c, works beautiful
All has been working fine on my EVO4G running MIKG 3.1 until tonight... I looked at the phone and it said it found some contact links. they looked like ones I had already linked but I linked them again. Now, some of the contacts (ones that need to be relinked), show a blank facebook contact photo. Just the generic silhouette of the face. I unlinked and re-linked and re-sync'd the contacts.. nothing.. some are fine and show the contact photo with the facebook symbol. I checked on my PC to see if maybe the person removed their photo, but it is there.
Any ideas????
Anyone? I just tried syncing using Facebook app. Same issue. some contracts pulled photos and others not. Ideas?

Hey,
in order to get your contact photos to sync you need to use htc sense the app wont do anything man, and if that doesnt work it might be a glitch so try wiping your cache dalvik and flashing the rom again. let me know if it works, but that just might be a bug between your evo and the rom bro,

The app does sync. It adds to my accounts and sync. The app filled in some missing photos which Facebook for sense left blank. I read elsewhere that others have this issue too...

You can try using the app SyncMyPix (I think it's all one word like that, could be wrong). I used it in the past when I had issues on CM7 with Facebook contacts.

Since we have today our fully working ICS rom, I would like to share this app
HaxSync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
It's sync your facebook contacts (Pictures and status updates) with your phone contacts in the same way ICS sync your contacts with google plus (High res contact pictures)
The app it's only 99 cents and IMO it's totally worth it.
BTW: I hold no relationship with the developer of this app, im just a happy customer.
Try it you wont regret.

whats different between this and the official facebook app sync feature?
i thought you were going to say Chrome browser as the must have app
why pay .99 cents when this feature is already free?...

Is it a built-in feature of ICS? Because for me it only syncs Google+ contacts and completely ignores facebook contacts. Pictures don't come up or anything. Neither do their icons show in Handcent SMS

no, it's built into the official facebook app. I guess that app is included in the skyrocket port. you have to go into facebook settings and choose SYNC.
That said, it looks like my contacts (i use Go Contacts) defaults to sync with google+ before it uses facebook for photos.

Yeah man just go on to the development forums and it should be on the first page. You could also search for it. Instructions are all there. There are a couple of bugs, most notably the auto rotation doesn't work. But other than that it works perfectly for most, including me I would suggest reading the entire thread to gain a little insight into what has been going on and to be a little safer with the installation and all that.... GOOD LUCK!!
When I had my Galaxy Nexus back in December I know there was no Facebook sync available for ICS at the time, I don't know if they've updated it back then.
But you can use Friencaster to sync all your contacts and pictures.
This reminds me though, has anyone else noticed there's no People app? Is that a Nexus only app or just missing?

Did I miss a memo?
I have a question, Facebook from the sky rocket ICS port won't let me access the pull down notifications. What I mean is, I'll get a notification, open the pull down in the app, and it shows me what's new but I can't touch it to access it, it does absolutely nothing.
Anyone know of a better app for Facebook?

Imma wait until all the bugs are all ironed out, I'm not that thirsty for Ics like some who will sacrifice bugs and stuff not working just to "have" ics

I've found that touching it about 50 times does the trick lol but it is annoying... Use friendcaster for now, it works great

you can also try syncmypix it's free.
Which software do you guys use for syncing contact images to facebook? I haven't tried any yet, but I've heard the stock FB app has some problems. Last time I used it (on my ancient Optimus One), it used to sync very low res pics, and it was impossible to reassign images in case of wrong matches.
PS: Also, as a side question, which facebook app do you use?

just use Conctact-sync it is completely free and works perfect with high resolution images
I quite like Sync.Me
I've been using Haxsync, but it doesn't update properly. Have you guys noticed this at all? When a person changes their picture on facebook I have to manually go into the settings and refresh their image to update it. I've got my phone setup to sync everyday and also on mobile network not only wifi, but this hasn't made any difference. I get the same issue on my Nexus 7.
I personally use haxsync but a friend uses sync.me and both do the job

That only works on the next sync, then the option un-checks itself.
I use friendcast and it works well.. anyone else tried it ?
Okay, I tried HaxSync and Sync.Me
I just can't figure out HaxSync, it doesn't seem to work. It keeps crashing. Seems like a waste of my money.
And Sync.Me seemed just what I wanted, BUT it doesn't put contact pics of some of my contacts for some reason. I can't figure out why. If I remove the link and re link the contact to the same Facebook contact, then I get the pic. Weird bug.
Is there any 3rd decent app for this purpose?

You need to install the haxsync jb fix app once, then open main app bro. Then read the FAQ. I tried other apps like sync.me those are whack they don't update most of my friend's pics and has no manual update option. Haxsync worked perfectly after syncmypix stopped working. The only good alternative is haxsync.

then again.. friendcaster worked perfectly fine for me as well.
I use HaxSync. It works incredibly well.
After trying the suggestions here (and not working) i started looking for myself and found Facebook Contact Picture Sync on the play store which does everything i need and is also really simple at the same time.
Contact sync https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0. has always worked perfectly for me and of course is free.
