Is anyone else having sync issues with Facebook? I downloaded the application and I was able to login successfully, but it still isn't showing up under accounts or in my contacts. I have checked the contacts settings to make sure it was set to display Facebook contacts, but the option was not there. I uninstalled Facebook and then reinstalled and added the account using the android accounts menu but after entering my information it still failed to show up. If anyone has figured out a solution, or has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. I will keep trying on my end and post here if I figure it out. Thanks!

Do you still have the stock facebook apps installed, in particular the htcfacebook.apk

Facebook contacts sync is a bug related to ics in general. It won't sync on the galaxy nexus either.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I see you said "ics-deck alpha2"
Searching in the Development forum for "ics-deck" the only one I see is alpha1... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380505
Was that a typo or am I missing something?

Interesting. Looking at his twitter, it seems that there's even an alpha3.
It seems strange that he would update his post (last updated on 12-25) and not include the most up-to-date version of the ROM, since that's the point of the post. It makes me wonder if the what works, what doesn't work, what's new, etc. that he lists corresponds to alpha1 or alpha3.
But, I digress. Thanks for answering my question

If you tried a few times with a few reboots. Just give a second, is the phone within the first hour of activation?

I had the exact issues with my Touchpro2. I had to use another app to get it to work. The built in apps that came with the htc phone wouldnt work but a off brand app did.
If I am not mistaken its because of the way the built in apps sends your login info to the authnication servers with FB and Tweeter.
Even with the facebook market app installed i cant add it to accounts and sync settings. Oh well itll get resolved soon enough

Having the same issues here.
same here, probably just down because of all the activations, it will probably work before the weekend is over. does anyone know if this syncs contact photos with facebook? if so does it do it as well as sense does?
Called Samsung and they are now enlightened about the problem, said they would be looking into and call me back with resolution or when fix would be available
Synced fine on my phone with not too many contacts
Yeah its not syncing pics from FB kinda sucky
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Hmmmmm I couldnt even get it to log in. But when I grabbed the facebook app from the market place and used it it worked like a charm. Even the pictures and graphics for the different news feeds synced right up. All of my facebook contacts are on my phone now WITH their pictures.
I can't log in fb through social hub but I can through fb app for android. If anyone hears from samsung please share the news

Same issue. Media hub wont allow sign in FB or Twitt.
So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

Hi there, Facebook syncing is a feature that I miss from a custom ICS rom I used to have. I read somewhere that there might be JB Roms that support this feature but I haven't been able to find one, so before I give up I want ask you directly.
Now before you answer make sure to read this, what I am truly looking for are the numbers and not anything else, so please don't redirect me to HaxSync or FriendCaster because I don't care about high-res pictures or calendar events. If there is a third party app that can sync numbers i'll happily take it. If there really is no way to workaround this issue then, oh well. Thanks for your time guys.

There is a workaround to just copy & replace ur contactproviders.apk
I have used it on a jb rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35867380
It enables u to sync contacts with pics. No calendar though
Make sure to backup orig file. Replace. Set permissions. Reboot. Clear fb, contacts cache. Reboot. U do have to manually join.
But for now m happy w/o getting any extra app can sync

Working on BlackBean, just hit sync on Facebook app... all my contacts and numbers are in People
I keep getting this error, specifically when using Go Messenger's contact link.
I've tried clearing my contacts data, calendar but nothing.
Can someone help? Thanks.
Uncheck sync contacts in FB. If that stops the error, then it may point to the fact that one of your Friends has a birthday of 2-29. Have seen some off site topics that the date is screwing with contacts being synced with FB..

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

Probably part of the debloat. I use Sync.ME for the same features though.

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.
Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk
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 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.
