This is a bug in Facebook, not HaxSync. https://www.facebook.com/HaxSync/posts/430832546964821

I use "contact picture sync", give it a try.

Thank you very much for the information, it seems that I will need to wait for facebook to fix the problem.

Don't know if I am understanding the problem correctly. What I did is:
HaxSync>Preferences>Contact Settings>Manage Contacts>'go to any contact' and 'refresh'

Facebook sync works good for Me. Nd try download hacked sync jelly bean workaround from play store

Facebook sync

Hi. I know in previous versions of Facebook you could sync contacts (numbers/photos ect)
Does anybody know how to do this on the n4, or a way to import all the contacts photos and numbers?
I have already gone into settings>accounts and set contacts to sync from there but no luck
Any ideas?
Thanks

Ice Cream Sandwich and later versions of android don't allow Facebook contact syncing. My understanding is that this was because the way that Facebook had been allowed to do it in the past was a kludgy system that wasn't the same as the api available to other developers. Until Facebook decides to use the standard api, you have to use as third party app to make it work. I use one that's popular called Haxsync.

+1 for Haxsync
It is fantastic. You can sync your fb contacts - chose to sync those that match a contact you already have, or sync all.
It will also sync your fb calendar events and/or birthdays which I find really useful

+1 Haxsync. It syncs everything you might want and you can configure the sync in many ways.
It's not free though.

User that or Friendcaster for Facebook.

Does Haxsync still work in JB 4.2? If so do you need the app plus the work around?

You need the workaround. If you install just the app, it prompts you on first launch to install the workaround.

Haxsync works great.

I use Facebook Contact Sync, works great.

i read something about changing de contactsprovider.apk, so facebook kann sync by its own.
Does it work on the nexus 4 as well?
if it works u dont have to use another app, to sync.

FB Messenger looks great! but woke up this morning to a notifcation informing me play store has updated Messenger back to the older version!

[Q] Any good alternatives to HiSuite?

HiSuite has totally screwed up my Outlook calendar. When I did the last system update from B112 to B116 and then synchronised Outlook to my P6 the recurring events on my calendar such as birthdays, public holidays etc were quadruplicated and offset by 1 hour. It didn't help that the update took place over the weekend when our clocks changed from Summer Time back to GMT.
In addition synchronisation using usb takes forever, measured in hours rather than minutes.
Anyone know of a good alternative to HiSuite to synchronise Outlook, ideally free, alternatively cheap?

HTC 10 No longer scapes Facebook for contacts

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.

Not compatible with device.

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?
