GalaxyS3 Gallery Not Syncing Facebook Albums - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

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.

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.
Thank you

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??

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.

Problem with adding and syncing account

I can't add a facebook account in setting->account and sync, therefore I can't sync my contact with my facebook account like Whatsapp. Does anyone have same problem with me?Anyone can help please?
I'm using stock rom 4.0.1, galaxy nexus[GSM].

Thx^^

It doesn't work yet on stock ics
So is there any rom that can have this work?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Nearly all have a facebook sync option built in
Another option is HaxSync, a paid app that syncs high res facebook photos

I have flasshed a ROM called eagles blood mod, based on 4.03 and i can sync with facebook. However, i cant see the contact pics yet.
Im on aokp and it shows up
The solution in those roms gives low-res pictures though apparently. You might want to look at the Haxsync app on the market.

Instagram and Facebook

Anyone know how to import your instagram photos to Facebook. I have tried sharing it to Facebook, but it will only give a link. I see that some people can import their pictures to a Facebook album called "instagram photos." Can anyone help?

Its handled by Facebook. Whenever you post to Facebook from the Instagram app, it by default creates an album called "Instagram photos".
Its an app for hipsters.
So chances are, they won't tell you how it works.

Its not, I think its because the galaxy nexus doesn't have Facebook sync support. When I upload a photo, it never appears on my fb account, even though I linked my account.. the same goes with twitter.
Kudos to the person who can find the solution.

Mind sharing how you got it to work? I'm having the same issue...
Haha please elaborate? I must be having a derp moment if it's that easy to figure out...
In the settings under "edit sharing settings" I have it linked to my fb account. However I thought that the photos would automatically upload just like that. But when you upload a new photo, you have to check the fb box, and then upload picture.

Oic... thanks. I thought it was automatic as well

facebook 1.9.1 and contacts sync

I understood that the new facebook 1.9.1 would sync contacts with ICS but I do not have this option in my GNex with stock 4.0.4.
Anyone else?

It doesn't sync at this time. It shows as an account you can sync, but falls to sync when you tell it to. Google blocks Facebook from sync at this time. Read the other thread about this same topic that was posted yesterday.

well my problem is that I don't even have the option to sync in the accounts manager 9see attached screenshot)
can you pls point me to the thread?
You should keep in mind that facebook copies all of your contact data onto their servers.
This really upset me when I found out about it, so I deleted the facebook app from my devices.

It is a good suggestion but does not answer the OP's question. Will this program overwrite the contact pictures from Google to Facebook?

Exactly -- I already have Facebook pics tied to my contacts -- the question is how do I force the phone to use them as the primary pics? HTC does this already...
Go to a contact hit menu then set as default then you can select which image is the default. Facebook contact sync does this automatically

HaxSync will do this for all your contacts. If it misses some, you can go in and manually join the contacts. The other nice thing about HaxSync is that it will use hi-res pics instead of the lame low res default.

Just grabbed this and will try -- yay for leftover Play Store credit from my Nexus 7!
Update: Looks like that worked -- and the pics look much better!
