Facebook And AOSP JB - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Hey, I've noticed Facebook doesn't like to play well will AOSP, as in it won't sync my contacts, even tho sync is on. Is this normal for AOSP? I'm used to dealing wit sense and ICS so JB is still new to me.

I think facebook doesn't play well on jb or ics, probably not aosp's fault. I would try updating to latest version if ur not on it, if you are or that didn't work then try scope or friendcaster.

Try haxsync app (worth it if you like hd pix of your fb friends when they call & their status update displayed)

Thanks for the input guys, at first I thought I was just being stupid

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] FB17 calendar snyc?

I just installed calks deodexed fb17 stock ROM, steadys kernel, and then hit it with overstews theme. (looks gorgeous and run infinitely better than the one click method I was previously running)
My question is regarding the calendar not snycing with facebook. I have snubbed manually, re added the account. checked all the settings, it still just refuses to snyc. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this and fixed it? or is this something I will simply have to live with as a result of my impatience to have ice cream sandwich?

Turns out its not just calendar that wont snyc. contacts wont snyc either and that is far more annoying.

Q. Has anyone been able to figure out how to sync Facebook pictures to contacts in JB? Haxsync seems to not work.

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.

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.

Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

I'm running Aeroevan's cm9 with the v10 kernal. It happens with sense roms as well... I have got seesmic to work properly over 3g but i had to turn on wifi to get it to connect to Facebook initially.

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using Tapatalk 2
OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Oddly, I found a Rom that the Facebook app works on. Andybones stock Rom works flawlessly.

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

Hey, so I'm having problems syncing my Google calendar on my phone with the server. I keep getting a sync error in the options everyime l try to do so. Strangely though, when I download the official Google calendar, it works fine. I do have the Google calendar set as default on touhwiz. Also, I'm running Darth ROM and android 4.1. Thanks for any help.

For what its worth, I had this problem too. Never found a fix, had to just stop syncing my calendar altogether. Happened on this phone and on my evo shift, so its not device specific
