Is it just me or are facebook contacts not working? As in they won't sync with the people app on my phone. It did not work for me in a stock rom or the euroskank rom and i was just wondering how to fix it if there is a possible way. Like is this a nexus thing or something, idk any input would be appreciated!:cyclops:
Does not work for me either with my N4 or N7. Easy way around this is to use haxsync.

From your homepage on your Nexus. Go to settings> accounts > facebook > contacts sync. I think that should work
or use HaxSync.

i just tried haxsync and it didnt work, even after a manual resync and a reboot. this is gunna bother me a lot.
Facebook does not use the proper way Google wants for contact syncs, so that's why it doesn't work on pure Android OS.
Google it.

HaxSync works perfectly for me on my N4. Perhaps there is something wrong with your set up that is preventing HaxSync from working for you?

The fix is for Facebook to fix their Contact sync. Or use 3rd party programs.
Facebook thinks you don't own your contacts. If someone removes you as a friend Facebook things that contact info should dissappear from your phone. That's not right and that's not what Google allows.

Did you also download the haxsync jelly bean workaround? Haxsync is working just fine on both my nexus devices.

I did and it didnt work but i had a euro skank rom so maybe thats why it wasnt working. so i decided to go back to stock and i accidentally formatted the sd card and bricked my phone. scariest moment of my life haha, thank god for wug's nexus root toolkit. Now im back to stock, unrooted and locked. i'm gunna attempt haxsync tomorrow since i am done ****ing with my phone after bricking it!

That's the way I did it, and it worked for me... Stock rooted 4.2.1
The profile pictures sucked, though... I had haxsync, but found that Contact Sync for Facebook does a far better job getting statuses, bdays, and most important, those nice looking, hi res profile pics

I thought i'd try to see what syncing flickr does. It does nothing great, but now how can I remove this sync?
There is no option to remove, whereas everything else that is synced liked google or facebook allows me to remove the account.
Thanks.
That would've been my best advice if you hadn't already tried. I don't have a Flickr account so I wouldn't be able to replicate the issue.

The funny thing is that you don't even need an account to sync. Go into the sync section, select flickr, and you can put in whatever name you want.
Hmm alright then. I'll check it out later and see if mine does this as well. You just want to be able to delete it because it isn't doing anything right? It's not actually harming your device?
Sent from my awesome Vibrant using XDA App
Not an answer, but I just email pics to my flickr account. Best option in my opinion.

Correct. It is not harming my device, but simply adding another line item to the list of services to sync. I would just like it to not be there anymore since I don't want to use it.

Also in my contacts group area I now get a "unknown" group from flickr that I also cannot remove because of the sync.
Had the same exact problem. Ended up doing a factory reset to get rid of it. What a PITA!

Makes sense. Finally off work so I will be able to play with it. Sounds like you all have the same deal going on. Maybe a software update will add the ability to delete since a factory reset is a drastic step.

Yea, I ran into a few issues which required a factory reset. Such simple things to code for and left missing =/
Ran into the same issue. Didn't use my phone, used someone else's that has a Flickr account.
Looks like you're going to have to wait for a software update or a dev to figure out how to solve this. Sorry I couldn't help ya out

Looks like only 4.1 support there...
The other link is a patch script - it extracts your existing email client, patches, re-packages and pushes it back to the device. Clever stuff and, so far, has worked across multiple Android versions without problem. Better than a static, patched .apk I reckons...
It works fine on 4.2, been using it for a while now.

Fair comment, but it does mean you're running a 4.1.x email client which seems kinda a shame... :-\

I guess, but its not like the 4.2 email client changed much from 4.1 unlike the gmail client.

"Obviously requires root access and working adb." - so, needs a computer. When I do this it takes around 60s to complete and then I can re-add the Exchange account, which is removed as part of the process.

just needed to reboot now it works.
Any newer versions? I just updated Xylon and now I can't get this to work anymore.

Thanks, this worked for me. I tried using Hangouts for a few days but found it lacking in some areas (mainly I wasn't able to easily locate who was online/offline/away). Talk just seems a lot more user friendly as it's much simpler.

I would like Hangouts to disapeer from my installed aps on Play store. How can I do it?
Master plan is Talk to have and no leave no room for possible updates.

I noticed there was an update to the Hangouts app on September 30. I'm still using talk because when I tried hangouts when it first came out it was very difficult to use. Has anyone downloaded the updated hangouts app? According to some comments I read, you now have the ability to see who is online. Has the new update improved the functionality?

It's much quicker now. When you first boot (or if you kill the app) it still takes a second to open Hangouts, but returning to the app doesn't reload it every time like it did on the last version. It also seems much faster when moving between hangouts/opening a new hangout.

I think I know what your problem is.
1. Go to settings and turn off contact sync.
2. Go to Google.com/contacts and delete EVERYTHING.
3. Use go contacts to delete duplicates.
4. Turn on sync again.
Done!

I am telling you to delete all the contacts from a PC. Just select all and press delete. And go contacts is pretty easy too. The full process will take like 15 minutes, that's all.
