Is anyone able to sync your Facebook contacts with your Nexus S 4G using the Facebook android app?
I own both the EVO 3D and the Nexus S 4G. The EVO 3D does sync contacts using the Facebook android app. In the Nexus S 4G I don't even have the option within the Facebook app to choose sync.

For some reason the NS4G doesn't. Look for a free app in the market called Facebook Sync seems to work well.

Misconception evo syncs facebook through sense. Google cut it off since facebook doesn't allow exporting of info

Get bloo from here. The one on the market is outdated. This one is a leaked beta which works just fine and includes chat as well
Edit: Yes, you can view the notifications in the app.

Are your sync settings enabled?

I get facebook notifications, but when I select them, the app does not launch :/. Haven't reinstalled since I'm not that bothered TBF
Has facebook notifications every worked consistently on any phone? Perhaps uninstall the app and reinstall

Not to be off topic or anything but I always disable the Facebook notifications and use Gmail instead. Its way better and you get notified every time...no problems.

I like the gmail idea, but I don't want loads of extra stuff in that particular account. Is there another workaround?

Thanks for the tip.
Hi guys,
Ive got a nexus s running ICS. The problem I have is that as I keep my contacts sync with gmail, the display picture of the contacts is very poor! some of them are so bad that its difficult to tell who he/she is.
Can anyone please help me fix this problem? I have read some forums and people have commented that this is fixed in ICS but clearly it isnt as I still have the same issue.
Thank you
Saud
There is an app called haxsync on the market. It syncs your Facebook photos to the contacts, and they look great
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
It's caused by syncing with Google contacts. There's nothing you can do aside from syncing with Facebook (which AFAIK, suffers the same problem).

Im not really a facebook user. Are there any other alternatives? I usually get my photos from picasa. Is there anyway I can get them higher quality?

Only way is to add them in manually on a contact by contact basis via gallery.

or you can back-up them by Titanium backup, and then restore. Quality will be the same.

They really do look fantastic but contact pictures that were taken with the camera still look awful
But haxsync really does make a gigantic difference

This is true. If you manually assign contact pictures AFTER your contacts have been synced, they will stay hi res. A PITA, but it works.
an alternative is Friendcaster that has an option that allows the use of high resolution images, it is also best of the original facebook app.
Is there any alternative app for non-facebook users?
I would hope so, but afaik there isn't any.
i use gmail, ive noticed one thing that is missing. the emails dont auto resize so it dont fit my screen. any way to fix that? thank you
Nope, idk why Google hasn't done it yet,that's probably the only feature I miss from my iPhone

On the Gmail app or the email app from htc?

I think it's a no brainer...it's on his HTC Email app. Google doesn't offer it (Yet). I use the Samsung Email app on my S3 and I love it. There litterally is no difference other than it's got a black background which is not a big deal. I can zoom in and out and read the whole email with ease. It totally, for me, removes any desire to use the native Gmail app.
If you switch, make sure you turn of notifications in the Gmail app.
As a side note, I'm a purist of sorts. I love my GNex in all it's glory, but needed this S3 Beast. I don't like all the bloatware but their Email app is nice.

Hi All
I would like to know how to sync my contacts with Facebook. I need the profile pictures as contacts' picture.
Thanks for the help in advance

best sync app i know of

HaxSync is hands down the best contact sync for facebook. It will let you pick how accurate names have to be (similar spelling or exact, and everything in between), cropping the face, if the picture they have is too big and all in HD (no low res pics). Also lets you sync facebook calendar and contacts birthdays into their contact card and their timeline statuses.

Thank you all. Why Facebook does this sync? Isn't there a setting for that?

There's a LOOOOOOONG running issue between FB and Google over all of this...Google it for more info as it's too long to get into here!
Just a quick question..
Does these apps incorporate all those Facebook contacts into our phone's contacts which aren't there at present?
As in I have a number of Facebook contacts which aren't on my phone and i don't even want them to sync.... Just want the pictures of people in my phone through Facebook.

Ditto this. Plus, it is easy and quick to manually add/change a profile picture from FB to Google contacts. And this actually works better since on occasion some people insist on having a goofy @SS profile pic.

Hi, all
I am using Ubersync for facebook in my N4. It has imported all of my contacts but no phone numbers. How can i sync my facebook contacts with phone numbers to my Contact list. Normal sync thru the phone is also unsuccesful
