Anyone can confirm this?

Facebook contacts must be fixed by Facebook so no.
And Twitter sync was removed by Twitter themselves. It was kinda useless in its final days anyway.

I was thinking that the problem was "katana" permissions missing from the contacs app. Am I wrong?

It's on FBs end. There have been threads about this.

Are you right? Yes and no...
Facebook proccess had a privilege that allowed it to work with sync in a different manner, so, it was a one way sync, you can't share facebook contact information with other apps or edit that information in your agenda (i.e.: add extra info, change picture, etc). That privilege has long been revoked and, google says, if they want to do it, do it my way... Facebook wants to do its own way (so contact data is not exported)... End result is that everybody loses and we do not get Facebook sync, period. This won't ever be fixed, if Facebook could (perhaps their end usr agreement doesn't allow them to do it, not sure)/wanted to change, they could have already changed it, come on, this has ben an issue since gingerbread mid life versions...
So, do not expect anything from Google or from Facebook, if that ever comes, great, but evidence shows that it is very unlikely to happen...

I can't add a facebook account in setting->account and sync, therefore I can't sync my contact with my facebook account like Whatsapp. Does anyone have same problem with me?
I'm using stock rom 4.0.1, galaxy nexus[GSM].
Sorry for my poor English.
Thx^^

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

No there isn't there is a problem with the Facebook app not using the official api's
I remember the cool videos of talking into the voice command and being able to see your voice to text in real time.
I'm rooted but besides that im still stock everything.
Voice to text is exact same as froyo and gingerbread on my nexus where it does the red circle and then the squiggly lines that are transcribing it..
which is cool.. but I want the instant voice recognition.
How do you get instant voice recognition to work?
Thanks much
With a good wifi it's about instant for me

I remember reading that it only works with stock keyboard so if you changed keyboards you might have problems.

no no no.
I mean like as you speak, your words are are being shown on the screen.
Mine doesn't do that. It waits to transcribe everything and then tells me what I said.

in what application are u using it? in the stock sms app for example, with the stock keyboard it works fine without wait
Problem kind of solved.
I was only trying it on the top fixed Google Search bar..
That does NOT work. Pretty stupid hopefully fixed next update.
So it actually does work properly for me, just not for Google Search.
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.

accounts management > add account > choose twitter
then you can choose to sync contacts and data: i am syncing only data
For the life of me I can't figure this out. Anyone else having the same issues or know how to do this.
You'll have to wait for a Dev to add it in on a rom, their are apps that do it too I use hax sync on my galaxy nexus

I use this app:

Since facebook seems to have removed the picture feature. It works pretty well.

Google dropped support because of their stupid fight with Facebook. Imo they should just kill Google minus and support Facebook more. Anyway haxsync works great

Haxsync it's the best!
Envoyé depuis ma Nexus 7.
Haxsync for sure if you dont mind paying.
I use SyncMyPix as a free alternative.
Find it here.
Title says it all really, I had to install the social media.apk just to get facebook in blinkfeed
This seems like a huge step backwards I assume I'm missing something
Any info on this would be much appreciated
Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.
I don't know if it did for the M8 or M9 either did it?

Do you know which apk controlled that? Just checked both devices and neither has Facebook contacts so it may be something I removed on the custom ROM.
I thought Facebook themselves killed that functionality a long time ago.
Hasn't worked on Samsung devices for a while. I'm wondering if it isn't a FB thing.

What the 10 doesn't have and I find a little odd is no Blinkfeed integration!
So it comes with Facebook and Messenger stubs but no Blinkfeed plugin.
It doesn't come with Twitter, but does come with a Twitter blinkfeed extension
It doesn't come with Google+, but does does come with a Google+ blinkfeed extension
;p

I'm not sure. All I know is that I could add my Facebook account and it'd match names and photos

I think at some point that was a Facebook feature that they killed off sadly.
Sync.me is a great tool for doing it tho!
My T-Mobile M8 did Facebook contact sync. I eventually reflashed to AT&T and lost that functionality. Later reflashed to the unlocked version and it was missing from that version by that time as well.
Just tried sync.me, wow it fixes what I've been missing for so long. How could I not have tried this app. I've tried so many others with no luck this works great thanks everyone

Yes but as far as I know sync.me only links facebook contact picture to contacts and no other information and it doesn't link the contact to their facebook page
Yes Facebook killed that feature. What worked for me on my M8, was to google facebook apk version 27(I may have the apk in dropbox). That version had the sync contact setting. Once you did this your contacts will be back and then you can update back to the latest fb apk.

This is the method for syncing fb contacts if you dont wish to install other apps. facebook removed the contact sync from the app a while ago and an old app is needed to sync them them updating the app is possible.

Nothing to do with HTC, it was Facebook who discontinued the feature unfortunately. Use Sync.ME.

I tried installing the older Facebook app and keep getting an "app not installed" error. Could it be because of the Facebook app already loaded on the device...even though it's not the full app?
