Help - Facebook contact sync?

LunchBB

Android Enthusiast
Got my GN international version today. Loving it so far.

I installed the facebook app but noticed contacts won't sync. Head to Account and Sync and it won't show Facebook as a sync account. Anybody has a solution? It would be nice to see contacts with their photos from facebook.
 
FB contact sync isn't part of the current official version of ICS as it was in Gingerbread. A lot of custom Roms however do have the feature built in.
 
I think FB contact is part of the FB app feature integrated with android's contact, not something built in Gingerbread.
 
When I open the FB app and click the "3 dots" at the bottom right. Click settings , and at the bottom is a option under "other" for syncing contacts. So you have that set?
 
I checked my FB app, there isn't the "Other" settings. There is only one settings for "Notifications".

I poked around found out an app HaxSync is made for this fixing the Facebook contact issue in ICS. It's $0.99. Working great so far.
 
I'm using Friendcaster just for the sync options. I don't use it for actual browsing. It could be better, but it works. I had heard that the updates past 4.0.2 will fix it, but I'm not sure.
