First updated the app on my nexus 7 in which I don't have haxsync installed and was surprised to see my people app being full of Facebook contacts with pictures. Thought I could finally be rid of haxsync and then I updated my phone and well nope, no contact syncing. After further inspection I found something odd. On my nexus 7 I have a category in Facebook settings called "other settings" and underneath I have sync contact options. The "other settings" menu doesn't even appear on my nexus 4. Check it out

Nope, I don't have that menu on my N4... Last app update was 05.09.

I dont have it either. Can you get your facebook.apk from data folder and share it? Maybe its different app for Nexus 7.
Sure but where are user apps stored? I can locate the system apps but not use apps with es file explorer.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Have you root on that Nexus?
If yes go to system files (if you cant access using ES use root explorer).Go to data folder then app and there are all user apps.
Facebook sucks. Lags all the time opposed to the iOS version.
Maybe you have big mess in your phone or just need to clean facebook cache? My facebook is working perfectlly.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue, my wife's phone, same thing. I tried about every idea I could possibly think of
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
but did you cleared cache before uninstalling? Before you uninstall press clear data button in app info. Also after you uninstall if you have root go to /data/data and look for com.facebook.katana and delete it also if you were using FB messanger look for com.facebook.orca and also delete it.
Hope this will help you.
I just went through, wiped cache, wiped data, uninstalled, and reinstalled and same damn problem... Ugh

Thats very weird.. Maybe I should first ask you but what exactly is the problem with it? When is it lagging etc?
try to install these facebook apps. The are black themed but will se does it help or not.

Lol nothing is wrong with it, contact sync just doesn't exist on my phone. The option to sync contacts is present on my tablet but not on my phone as seen in the first post which doesn't make sense since they are the same app
Edit : I just realized what happened. Someone came in and complained about the app lagging and somehow you and me got talking. Lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Same thing for me with Galaxy S+ not option for syncing contacts. The app is also otherwise really a piece of crap, very slow and consume really a lot of battery.
Just pulled the app from my Nexus 7, installed it, and still no sync option. I give up, this is something on their end. Just wish there was a way to talk to facebook support. They always ignore my emails
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
did you try to activate facebook contact sync in settings-accounts first?
Yep, I've tried everything I can think of. Oh well, haxsync works good enough for now I guess. Just would be nice to not have 2 apps for Facebook purposes.
I keep thinking does the htc first have sync problems? I wonder what the GP who grabbed that phone thinks when they don't have any contact pictures in the dialer app.

Contacts sync is still not working. Just thought I would pass this along if not posted already.

at the risk of asking the obvious did you activate the sync settings in the app? Three dots> settings> your account> sync...
Then activating in the ics accounts and sync settings?

Does twitter not offer a sync api to third parties? I went back to plume when they did their big update not too long ago. I've noticed friendcaster for Facebook offers some sort of sync but I find it odd that no 3rd party twitter app has sync yet.

The contact sync issue is almost certainly related to their security problem in February. I think they purposely still have it off.

We're talking about contacting syncing in this thread and yours is broken too.
If you want twitter sync to work go to 4shared and download an older version of Twitter, resync and there you have it.

Nice, I did notice this yesterday on the update list.
One thing that still drives me bonkers is when I ask it to set a timer..
Like "set a timer for 10 minutes" it ALWAYS creates a NEW stupid alarm. Why cant Google just build in a countdown timer and have it run off that?
Its really annoying the fact it creates a new alarm for everything and doesn't delete when its done.
Launching apps only works with certain apps. Won't even launch Chrome.

Possibly, though i'm running off the last RC of Liquid JB, and its using the CM10 clock in it :/
Wonder if I have to install a different clock in order for it work properly?
Does it set a timer within that 4.2 clock? or still set a new alarm?

Yes, I use the stock AOSP email for a unified inbox with my gmail and exchange, and it worked great. I do have the gmail app installed, but don't use it, you might need it on the phone for it to work properly, but it will do it without you even checking your gmail app.

I'm not sure if anyone else has notices this or if it's just me. I have the deodexed OTA for 4.2. Just last night I noticed I can't find the Google drive app icon anywhere. It's not in the app drawer and it is ladle labeled as installed and I can access it by the way of the widget but that's it. I tried reinstalling it but no go. Anyone else having this issue?

Quite obvious it's the custom ROM based on the OTA, but I do enjoy the many ways sarcasm can be misused and from time to time I forget them. It is people like you who do a great service to the people of the internet.
But back to the topic, yes it shows up in the settings as a downloaded app but it does not show up in the system/app directory. But Google Play shows it's installed, I have the widget, and the app loads.

This might not have anything to do with this but Google might be diddling around with Drive itself. Just tonight I tried accessing (on my stock 4.2 GN) a shared company Drive spreadsheet that I just updated on Sunday and Drive was making it difficult for me (I.e., not recognizing the Google account and some other things). When I finally cleared it up (by logging off/signing in a few times), I was able to access and view the spreadsheet but not edit it (which what I need to do).
If it's any consolation, I wasn't able to edit it on the company iPad that's there for that purpose.
Again, it may be unrelated (and I'm still learning here) but in case that helps...
I added Google Drive under Web Storage in X-plore and it shows up and all my stuff is there.
I am running MMuzzy's 4.2 Verizon build.
Where did you get the widget?
Steve
The widget was just Google's widget that is added when you install the app. I remembered I had "add widgets to desktop" unchecked through Google Play so I selected it and reinstalled the app and it put an icon on my home screen, so that fixes my problem temporarily, as the icon is still missing from the app drawer and does not show the app in my system menu.

Don't you guys think that Drive should be a built-in app? It should be a natural part of the Android ecosystem. I don't think there are many people who don't use Drive, so it'd be more convenient to just make it a built-in app. This could bring in more support for it, too.

Turn off any notifications like Tapatalk, Facebook, etc...
Google settings like location services.
Learn hpw to manage apps and close them out properly. Every once in a while I'll go through TouchWiz Manager and end all apps even though I know some of the apps I haven't even opened or they might just still been opened up.
Like I said your maps app is taking location which kills your battery faster.
Your email app is probably on auto sync which means it's constantly syncing itself constantly on a connection that is constantly getting information back and forth hence killing your battery.
Beautiful widgets if that is also on auto sync which means it's taking your connection again and constantly syncing for info and data.

Not at all. Its not too much of a big deal I mean I just still go into my email app and just hit refresh just to see if there's anything new and is much better for battery life than having to be on auto sync because Its not constantly having to sync every second.

Yep! Just checked and it was almost 3GB again. I just deleted it but this time I checked to see what was in there and it looked like it took a small video of every movie/video file that I have stored on my phone & SD card. I guess it is for the Video player previews. Anyway to stop it from doing this and am I the only one having this problem?

Then go to applications, all.
Scroll down to gallery an clear the cache.

Of course that only works if you use (and sync) Picasa and hangouts. So ymmv
My thumbnail issue was definitely file manager related, switching to a filemanager that allowed me to manage its thumbnail cache fixed it.

Just delete the whole thing you wont loose nothing important. Save you time and space. Try "Root cleaner" I had 3.56gb of space. Bought the pro version and did a quick clean. Now I have 5Gb of space! What the app does it deletes all unnecessary files.

Well I'm still having trouble figuring out why it does this. I don't use Astro File Explorer, Picassa or Hangouts. I can't see this as a normal process because if left unchecked you would never have any internal storage or at least half or more would be swallowed up by these useless video clips.
