sync the URL through gmail. I had to do one for events and another for birthdays. Can't remember where I found the link with instructions though.

Haha I have to agree with you.
If it doesn't auto sync, click edit your contact, then menu-> join. Find your contact in the list that matches and save. Sometimes if the name you have doesn't match a facebook name, edit the name, join, then re-edit the name.

If you sync your Facebook to your Google acct you should get your birthdays listed when your Google calendar syncs to your phone.

Hi there,
I don't want to sound dumb but how do i sync Facebook to Google??
Kind Regards
Make the email acct associated with your Facebook acct your gmail acct. I had to do this when I had a fascinate in order to get my Facebook calendar to sync with my phone. In a nutshell, your phone calendar syncs with your gmail calendar automatically, so if you make your gmail your default Facebook email it should force the sync to your phone's calendar.

On your computer, on a desktop browser
Visit this page : https://www.facebook.com/events/list
on the top right next to "Today" there is a gear icon, click on it
this will bring a drop down menu and one of the selection will be export
SNS service stopped

Does it sync your FB contacts to the phone?
I use this app as well, as a replacement to the official FB app, but I can't sync with it, or even add it as a sync account in the Settings...
You dont need an app for that. You need to add the contact as a google contact and then join the google contact with the matching facebook contact. Then the pics should sync.

That is a great way!!! If only the Facebook contacts could be synced to the phone properly with ICS.... mmmmmm, maybe I'll open a post that will tell me how to sync the FB contacts to the phone, so I could join them with my google contacts...!
DA!!!!

Maybe you're missing the sarcasm of his post and my reply?
C'mon really. I was a being a good sport and went along with Moonshield's and CaelanT's joke. Anything further is just being immature. I'd expect better from a "Senior Member".
Uninstall and reinstall
I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the facebook app, and leave it on charging with wifi connected (As per my settings) overnight, and everything was in by the morning.
My FB contacts sync aok using FriendCaster on CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish build 8]. Receive status updates, notifications, etc, also no problem.
Really, guys?

Syncing contacts issue

I asked this in a different thread but it was moving so fast I think people over looked it.
Is there anything from the gb roms that i can do/add that will allow social hub sync my contacts? I loved how it showed all my Facebook friends birthdays in my calendar. i noticed HTC sense would do this too.
It might not be that its social hub that isn't allowing it it could be the calendar. maybe im missing a step. When I sign into my social hub fb account it shows to sync calendars but it doesn't show their birthdays.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know that after installing the Facebook app, you get presented with a screen which asks you what you want to sync. Personally I hate it so I always click 'do not sync' but I'm pretty sure it'll let you sync like Sense does?
Facebook app settings has a way to sync FB.
but the only thing the FB app actually sync is the picture and phone number, and maybe email, I don't remember it syncing birthdays.

Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter - All in one client?

Has anybody come across a android app which can post status updates to all the three G+, FB & Twitter?
Or sync all the three without any chrome like plugins?
Or a web application which can sync all three?
Thanks,

Tweet Deck is a better app
Correct me if I'm wrong, but G+ syncing/cross-posting will probably be the hardest to find as I don't think that Google has released any APIs for it.

Agreed, G+ API is still read only, hence no direct way.

Hi, sorry for reviving and old thread, but since Hootsuite now let us post to G+, is there any API or app taking advantage of it?
Thank you
