I am unable to add fb to accounts and sync. Added twitter and linkedin fine, but doing add on fb just takes me to the accounts list and does not add fb. Is this an issue for everyone?
Confirmed, same behavior here.
r u guys talking about FB on ICS? well ICS doesnt have feature for Facebook....you can use friendcaster to sync the FB contacts
Yea sorry forgot to mention this was on cm9. I have the option to add fb, it just won't add it. Is this really an ics issue? Kind of surprised this doesn't work in all of ics, seeing as how it was in earlier versions.

Guys contacts from facebook accounts won't sync but calendar syncs flawlessly. Other account would sync too. Can't contact facebook since there's no way to get to them. Did anyone ever come across this issue. Is there any possible solution to it?
I'm having the the same problem. Anyone? I'm on JVK Darky's RC4 if that helps.
I had this problem, but a while ago, while I was on stock rom. I had to delete de FB account from Acc/Sync, re-install FB for Android and let the app add the sync account. There's a small difference between the Facebook Sync account that is manually added or the Facebook Sync account that the app adds itself. You can even see a small difference in the icons (Account & Sync).
Hope this helps further ...
Facebook Contacts Won't Sync?
Don't know if you're still interested in the fix for this, but you'll need to go to facebook.com using any browser (don't need your phone for this), go into your security settings.
On the bottom left, you'll see a link for "Apps and websites: edit your settings," click on this and then edit the settings for "Apps you use."
Delete "Samsung Mobile."
You can log out now as you won't need to do anything else at facebook.
Now go into your phone and delete your integrated facebook account (if you haven't already).
Create a new integrated facebook account as you usually would. If you don't sync the first time, reboot and try again.
It has nothing to do with deleting the actual app. There are two Facebook services on the Android as Orvo has said, you can notice the difference in them by looking at the icons. Only one of them lets you sync contacts to your phone, if the first doesn't try, try the other. One of them works.
I had the same problem i fixed it by reflashing the whole rom with a full wipe.
Hope it helps..
I want to add my messenger contacts to my contact on the phone so i can join them with the other ones, from facebook, skype, twitter and google
now, i know the SGSII has the social hub which brings a sync manager for WLM BUT... it breaks the connection with FB and Twitter and also causes random SNS FC's in JVP, so my question is, is there any app out there that will add this as Skype adds it's own?
thanks for any help with this.
I'm running the ICS ROM by st.matt in the developer forum, and the major issue I'm having that nobody else seems to have mentioned is a lack of facebook contact syncing. I have the facebook app installed, but none of my contacts are getting their pics updated, and I can't seem to add the facebook account to my accounts list.
Is this something anyone else is seeing? Is this already known, but I just missed it?
it is a known problem
Well it isn't a game breaker that Facebook contacts aren't working.
But yes, I have the same problem, but I doubt that it is one that'll persist for long

hmmm..i thought you will need facebook for sense for sycn to happen, since ics alpha was aosp, so i think it won't be able to happen..
Yeah facebook only syncs with sense...
If you're a stickler for contact tidiness, and are struggling with no Facebook contact sync, you could always export your Facebook contacts to your PC and import them to your gmail account and sync them that way.
Although they won't updated should their details change, it's an alternative.

Hi, XDAers!
I updated my MM2 to Stock Android 2.3.6 and everything was working as well...
But I think I found a little bug in facebook (apk) contacts sync:
I just installed the app via Market and logged in, but for my surprise it doesn't show in Accounts > Other Accounts (as Twitter or even LinkeIn does) and sync is not working. (PS. not the Motoblur thing).
I tryed reinstall facebook app, reflash sbf, wipe data, restore factory defaults, santeria...
No success!
And there's no option in facebook app settings like in 2.2
Someone else can confir this bug, or is just me?
Well, yesterday I noticed the Facebook icon was shown in Accounts > Other Accounts, but when I clicked it, nothing happened... Thought it was a bug of Blur, so I took wipe data / factory reset and created a new Blur account.
Now, I noticed the icon is there and working (I've tested it)
Thank you for post it... I'll set up Facebook contacts from Facebook app instead from Blur (it has a lot of sync bugs)
--------------------------------------
EDIT: seems that there is no way to sync Facebook contacts using Facebook's own application. seems that the only function of the Facebook icon in Accounts > Other Accounts is just log into Facebook application. the only way to perform this task seems to be using the MOTOBlur.
Use Contact Sync For Facebook, is the best for me! If you talk about the same app sorry...
But there 2 apps Facebook Contact Sync and Contact Sync for Facebook, the second choice is best, but didn't have the options to sync automatically
