Did you try reflashing your rom? That should work.
Install Facebook App from market, that should do.
It would work fine.
It won't be integrated as before but it surely works good just as before.
Restoring the just the system back solved my issue, thanks!

Hello All... i have recently flashed crazy 8 and now my facebook sync will not work. Any ideas on how to fix this or what the problem is?
Thanks!
Goto settings, then account sync, click on facebook and make sure all the boxes are checked and time interval is set to your liking. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the reply fear! The problem I am running into is once I try to set up the sync for facebook it says the session has expired and I have been logged out. Then it says the sync has experienced trouble and then there is a red exclamation point I believe. have you seen this and is there a certain thingi have to do to fix this?
Goto settings, then account sync, click on facebook

That is were all this is happening!
I had that problem. If you have the Facebook app installed, you will see two FBs under Accounts and Sync. Use the app to sync, not the build in service.
It's weird!! I fixed this by removing the facebook app and then reinstalling it...very strange but everything is working good again!
Have searched found most of what I wanted to do however I have the following two things I can seem to get rid of.
I have removed all of the SNS stuff except SNS 1.5 with TB.
Can I remove this?
I also cant seem to get rid of everything Social Hum as in when you goto add accounts there is still two listed. They are:
Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo Mail
How can I get rid of these?
some one has got to have an answer..... please
Just because the option is there doesn't mean the program is. Why the need to get rid of every trace?

That confused me too. Why do you want remove every trace of them? The only time you see that is when you go to add an account.

I guess I am a little OCD?
can I remove SNS 1.5?
You can freeze it in TB, if you don't get FCs or other issues you should be able to uninstall it. That way you can unfreeze it instead of reflashing a ROM if it gives you issues.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
If you freeze/uninstall all of the different SNS listings you WILL get FCs when trying to use certain features related to contacts. Specifically if you link your contacts with FB or whatever and then freeze the SNS account linked to that social networking site your contacts will never update. If you freeze SnsImageCache it will cause a FC if you try and open the "media" tab under a contact's name.
hi everyone!
dont know if u notice.... the option for facebook contacts sync in the social hub was removed in the new Ics Rom the problem with this is that all the contacts pics are now small resolution.. so there pixalated as.. f....k
anyone knows a solution for this??
Me saw that too... and so has the inherest ability to sync fb birthdays to tw calendar also gone... Any workarounds anyone??
Yes, HaxSync paid app and works better syncs higher quality photos, events and birthdays. Worth the pennies it costs from play store.

Also noticed that it's missing, however a review on GSM arena seems to suggest it should be there?
One important change is the new Contacts app. It integrates with your SNS services and gives you a second tab for each contact's details with their photo and info grabbed from social networks.
You get to this tab by swiping sideways - a bit like you would in Windows Phone (Android has really grown into the sideways swipe thing too).

Any more? is that SURE? and... Why? Do you have any source, please?
I dont understand why Calendar and messages can be sync but contacts cant....
Is it permanent for ICS roms that are to come?
Thanks
I actually created a new thread for this not knowing that it has been asked...
Yes, I also noticed the GSMarena review and so I thought that I had a bad update. I tried to restore to factory setting and reflash the firmware update but still nada.
My current conclusion is perhaps for somewhat reason some firmware versions have the SNS contact integration and some don't...
Mine is XLP7. Would others kindly share their firmware version and situation on the SNS contact integration?

Not possible with ICS.
You can try friendcaster(free) and HaxSync (paid).

I am using ICS DXLP7. If you just upgrade from Ginger to ICS without doing data wipe or factory reset, calendar and messages were fine but Official Samsung ICS ROM (upgraded using KIES) doesn't have Facebook Contacts sync anymore.
However, if you did do the factory reset after installing ICS on you Galaxy S2 ... poor you, you will not be able to sync any of the three (Facebook contacts, messages, and calender). Must use third party app.
yeah at the end the solution is an app from the market.. theres 2 that works well but they dont sync phone numbers tho

Facebook, sense, contacts, image, pictureebook acct and told it to sync to existing contacts and back when I had the OG evo the contacts would automatically be updated with their facebook profile picture. Currently after many syncing attempts, restarts, etc the contacts still don't have their facebook profile pics and when I go to edit the contacts manually to add them when I click on facebook it doesn't have a picture. Is anybody else having this issue? (btw all of the contacts I've tried to manually map all have facebook profile pictures) Does anybody know of a fix? Thanks in advance
It's been mentioned and explained before. Here is the app you need

I was having this issue also, and my issue was fixed by doing two things.
1) In facebook (website), under "Account Settings -> Apps" I deleted HTC Sense (basically revoking HTC Sense access)
2) In Android "Settings -> Accounts & sync" I deleted Facebook, then readded it and made sure Sync Contacts was checkmarked.
HTC Sense should ask again to be allowed access to Facebook. Once accepting, the contact's profile pictures started trickling in.
The thing is if you're running a custom rom, the rom dev may not have included "Facebook_Client.apk" and "FacebookEngine.apk" which are essential to syncing facebook with htc sense.

Mine says app not found when trying to download it
thanks a lot...deleting the app from facebook and the phone fixed it...appreciate your help!!
Thanks for the tips, I was wondering why the syncing didn't work because I had to go into each contact and link them individually, which of course was a pain

seems like both go sms and handcent are unable to pull up access to facebook contacts, stock messaging will, but no go on searching in other apps.
anyone know of a workaround?

Strange GO SMS Pro for me is working fine. Its not allowing facebook photos to show up otherwise its fine for me.
I'm guessing so app's are crossing over and garbling crap up
anyone have any idea what the samsung app "facebook for syncing" is in the accounts manager vs facebook/friendcaster.
I've found that friendcaster will sync my facebook friends..but not my numbers...
and facebook app will do both..but other app's arent registering them
and as far as I can tell the samsung facebook app for syncing is just for gallery/calender...but yet I can't get calender to work, just error's out.
