Facebook sync

Sorry if this has been asked before but...
How do you add a Facebook account to sync contacts etc?
I have the Facebook app installed and have added twitter accounts etc through the accounts and sync in settings but Facebook never adds.
Thank you

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.

the facebook sync doesnt actually "add" any real contacts but simply makes them look like they have been added. but will get deleted once you "un sync"

I think but am not sure but if your contacts are on the sim card then you can not add pictures to them. Copy them to the phone or use your google account instead.

There are 2 ways I know you can achieve this:
1) Use Samsung Social Hub, add your FB account and it will give you options to link each of your contacts to a their FB account, this will sync their photos and status updates into your contacts.
2) Use the official FB app, and check the Sync Contacts option. I havent tried it personally but should work similar to Social Hub

Good luck! =)

I used an app from the play store called HaxSync, you have to pay for it but I find it so much better with it using face detection to get pictures and downloads hi-res pictures, check it out

I had this too. Edit the contact and make sure you're using the high res photo from haxsync. Mine were defaulting to the low res from friendcaster.

How do you do this? I've already got haxsync, but can't find any option for changing default picture?

It's syncing but not replace the pictures (and i tick the "force replace" pictures)

help :<

Go into your contact, click on edit contact then click in your contacts photo you can choose haxsync photo from within that.

JB facebook sync workaround

Okay this isnt a complete solution for jb but if you use Facebook for alot of your numbers then this will work for you. Unfortunately for now haxsync doesn't sync numbers just pics, statuses, etc etc so what i did was use an app called super backup: sms and contacts and backup contacts in an ics rom that supports fb sync then flash the jb rom and restore contacts with the same app. You should have them all and it actually makes them into regular contacts so you dont have to use fb anymore for them. If you want hq pics then use haxsync or any of the other fb picture sync apps

Nice find, I wish I saw this while I was still on ics. I made a post about this a few weeks ago but didn't get much input
Thanks

Np and hey you can just backup your current setup and then flash an ics rom that has fb sync and go back to the backup. Itll take maybe 30mins max but its worth it if you need the contacts like i do

I might just use my old sgs2. Sync the contacts there and copy over to my nexus

Another workaround:
I was going to start a new thread on this, but since it's my first post I feared getting flamed..
So, here's the best workaround that I've come across for phone number syncing for Facebook on Jelly Bean..
1. Go ahead and sync your facebook contacts by clearing the Facebook app cache and adding your Facebook account to your phone. It will ask you to sign in, and then it will sync contacts without phone numbers.
2. As you try to dial someone's number and you realize that it's on Facebook instead of Google, open up the Facebook app and search for that contact by clicking the "three horizontal line" icon on the top left.
3. The contact will have a phone icon next to their name if they have their phone number stored on Facebook. Go ahead and click the phone and it will bring their number up in the dialer.
4. On the bottom right of your dialer, click the "three dot" icon and select "add to contacts". You know what to do from there.
It's not the best solution, but it's the best i've seen so far. You won't have all of your contacts at once, but you can search for the ones that you know right off the bat, and then search for them as needed later on.

Thats a really long process lol i have over 300 friends so that would take forever. My process saves you alot of time and has the added benefit of turning the fb contacts into regular Google contacts.
Also haxsunc doesn't sync numbers so alone it was useless to me lol

All of your facebook contacts can be dialed directly from Facebook. So just keep them on the facebook app until you need to dial a specific Facebook contact, and then take the extra 2 seconds and save it to Google contacts before you dial it.
Plus, I'm sure everyone doesn't need that weird kid from science class from the 7th grade's phone number. This way you can pick and choose who to add as you need it.
Even if there is eventually a way to sync every facebook contact, i much prefer this method.

Thank you for the tip

GalaxyS3 Gallery Not Syncing Facebook Albums

Cant seem to get my Gallery to sync up my Facebook Albums anymore. It used to work fine. I cant remember the last time I had it sync but I have Flashed Blazer Rom 1.5 and Freegs3 v.08 and .8.1 over the last few weeks. Is there anything I can do to fix this. It was a nice feature to access the albums offline.

I'm having the same issues. Haven't been able to get it to sync.

Same issue for me...

I think I saw a similar post about a similar problem. There is a app to help called hc sync or something... Lemme go look
Edit: try Hax sync in the Play Store...
Might help

Haxsync only syncs your contact pictures, and calendar . The SGS III used to sync the facebook gallery with your SGS III gallery. It was a cool feature. Not sure what happened.
