Help Facebook contact sync

Is there a way to sync my Facebook contacts into the N4? I was able to fully integrate it on my Bionic so I know it can be done. Just not sure how. Sorry if this has been asked already.
 
On your phone, go to "settings" and scroll down to "accounts", tap on "Facebook" and then tick the "Contacts" box (which should have "Sync is OFF" displayed), then it will start syncing :)

So, I did that but it's still not syncing them.???
 
Thanks. I really dislike the idea of paying for something that my phone should be doing, you know? My Motorola had no problem with this. I'm baffled it's not working correctly.

The Facebook App isn't great at syncing them to be honest. I would recommend HaxSync (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync&hl=en )...pullsdown hi-res images and auto syncs. I think there are some free ones around too, but I've not used them so can't comment.

I second the HaxSync comment.

Pulls hi-res pictures down from Facebook which the free ones don't seem to do.

When you see hi-res on your contacts, you won't want anything else!
 
The UberSync one is pretty good for free...I used to use it when it was called something else. The only issue I had with it is that it wouldn't crop down to the face. Some of my contacts just had a chin or shoulder.
 
UberSync works for me, too.

It's not the phone doing it, it's the OS. Google and Facebook have a pissing match ongoing, so full sync doesn't work above GB or ICS, I think.
 
Ubersync works great for me on my N4 and has customizable sync settings and is free.
