Hey.
I have just got this awesome phone.
But I can't find a way to sync my facebook contracts with google contracts. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do that.?

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).

Because i want to post my tweets on google +..

I am not able to find any app yet in the market - oh.. I mean Google Play (weird huh?), that supports blasting to Google+ and other social networks at the same time. Until then, i use SocialBlast , which does what you want (Linkin, Facebook, Twitter) but not Google+.

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!!!

Probably not, but just asking

I wanna add my email account to the Android market app to my little brothers phone, he has a galaxy note 2 aswell, so he can use the apps i use, is there a way possible of doing this without him getting all my emails and contacts?
Is there a way i can transfer all my google purchases to another email account?

It can be done, I shared some of my apps with my mom. I don't think it's right or fair to share paid apps because it's stealing and dishonest. Only you paid to use the app. XDA is not the place to ask how to cheat developers or steal from them and to do so will likely result in getting yourself banned.
It's actually easier to use S Beam to share apps between devices that have this feature. A lot of my co workers have SGIII and one has Note2 and we use S Beam to share photos, videos, and apps all the time.

Not looking to cheat out devs, if that was the case, id just side load the apps, can easily find em online and skip the license checking aswell. My little brother is in 8th grade, not really working or anything. And i buy apps that he uses alone aswell.
And the reason to switch the purchases to another account was so i can keep my personal emails contacts and calendars separate from google app side of things.
Thanks for the input thou

Just add your account to play store on his phone, just don't sync anything else. I did it on my mom's note2.

Post to multiple social sites from Android

Hi guys
Just switched back to android from iOS after two years.. Am looking for an app or widget to post status update simultaneously to multiple social networks... Couldn't find it through search. I found multi post that uses ping.fm but that is now closed. Suggestions?

If This Then That - IFTTT
Not an app, but a web service - you can make basic 'recipes' such as "If I post a status on facebook, post a tweet". There are a bunch of triggers and actions you can use, plenty of services to hook into, and a bunch or recipes made by other people to browse.
Perhaps a bit more encompassing than an app; I thoroughly recommend it

Thanks for the suggestions friends. I am primarily looking to update fb, twitter, g+ and linkedin directly from one place without having to copy paste or retype. IFT TT is an option but I'd rather do it from one dedicated app or widget. Quite a few software for the same on iOS, one of my favorites being sociable. Anything that comes to mind for this?
