[Q] Can't add Facebook account to sync - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey i installed Cognition yesterday and everything is fine,
But i was used to have Facebook account in my sync settings so it will sync events the best way with my calender,
Since i installed cognition when i try to add "Facebook" account it's like the button for facebook doesn't work,
i mean i get the Hover on and when i take my mouse off the color changes back to black, but it does no action,
how can i get my Facebook sync again, and why can't i sync it now?

Same problem with jelly bean CM10

Facebook SNS sync compatibility with ICS is very awkward. Why? Because Facebook and Google are having issues.
You
can still sync however, by installing the Facebook app or alternatives from market e.g friendcaster. They will get the job done and syncing will be working fine once more.

Sorry about that, Facebook had sync issues with ICS, and thus CM9 but it seems the problem is worsened with CM10. Hasync also does not even have jellybean support yet.
Download another Facebook app e.g friendcaster. Your problem should be solved

Google Calendar Not Syncing At All

I got syncing working between Outlook and the Google Calendar site ... so I can see all my events and such on the Google Calendar website.
What isnt working is the sync with my Tab 10.1 ... I can see the calendar name on the Tab (and it changes on the Tab almost immediately when I change the calendar name on the website) but none of the events ever sync down to the device.
I've tried removing my google account and setting it back up, tried just turning sync on/off, tried powering off/on ... any one else having this issue and/or solved it? Thanks.
I am having the same exact issues you are. When I'm out and about I set all my calander events on my evo. Non of them however transfer over to my tab. I made sure auto sync is on and even tried manually hitting the sync button but no dice. Its easier to view mybdaynahead on my tab. Hopefully next update take all GT 10.1s from a beta feel to a solid feel. On my second GT10.1 already :-(
" hang on to your dookie, its about to get spooky "
So between this issue and a few others I factory reset my SGT last night and magically the Google Calendar is working perfectly now (so far). :-/
Not sure if my answer apply, but I sync with exchange and that work fine at least.
I think I'm having the same issue, or at least I'm sure that the calendar widgets don't show all the synched appointments in my calendars...

the calendar widget is garbage, because it only displays your events for the week. download WIZZ from the market, it has a much better agenda widget.

Social Hub facebook Sync Contacts

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).

not there any more and 3rd party application is the solution.

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

[Q] SNS Contact Integration in ICS Missing?

Hi, I just upgraded my Galaxy S2 to ICS XLP7 a few days ago from Kies. However, I found that the SNS contact integration to Facebook and LinkedIn is missing. I used the Social Hubs app to sign in. Those contacts will not appear in the contacts app...
The phone is rooted using CF-root. When I go to Settings>Accounts and Sync>Facebook. It only has setting for Sync Calendar and Message.
I have tried to remove the account and re-add it to no avail...Please help! It's been driving me crazy because it worked smoothly in Gingerbread before.
Thank you in advance!
Same Here
I also recently updated to ICS in my Galaxy S2, And i found out Samsung had took the contacts SNS integration from the new update and put on Google talk status message on the contacts to whom you add the IM id.. This is insane.. Plan to go back to 2.3.6 GB.. Any options of adding status updates of Facebook to the contacts...
facebook integration gone.
its happened to me too..
Integration only with google plus now!!!
contacts - section is looking really bad, low clarity photos too
Guys Facebook sync has been removed in ICS by Google..
If you want you can use Hax Sync from the play store to sync your Facebook contacts..

I mean, nothing happens when I add facebook account. Finally I installed Facebook contact Sync app from Google play. So I have found a work around but the original problem still persists. I even found some threads going on about this same topic.
from ics up, android is no longer able to synchronise with facebook.
its a known unresolvable issue... facebook as of now cannot be synced

I was just about to suggest Facebook Contact Sync, there isn't really that much extra that can be gained from having the Facebook app synced directly.
IIRC, birthdays might be a problem with FCS, but I use Ebo Birthday for that anyway.

Its because it is not supported. As simple as that! Use Haxsync for this purpose. for syncing birthdays best way is to add your FB calendar in Google calendar. Haxsync syncs calendar too.

[Q] Gmail synchronization working only one way?

Hello.
Since this morning I started to experience a strange issue. It seems like my gmail is synced only one way.
I have Nexus 5 running Cyanogenmod 11 M3, Android 4.4.2.
If there is a new email sent to my gmail account, I get proper notification and I see the mail. I then go and delete that email (or mark it as read). My inbox does not have this email anymore. I refresh the mail, make sure everything is synced. Now if I open web gui of gmail on my computer, I still see that email there unread. If I go back to phone gmail, I don't see that email in my Inbox (or sometimes I do), but I can see it in priority mail box or under "all mail". It seems that whatever change I do on phone client is not properly synced back to server.
The same issue manifests also on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running CM 10.2. It does not happen on my very old HTC Desire Z, running CM4.
I have not changed anything, it started to happen this morning. Any change done through computer web client is synced correctly. I have no idea what is going on. Does Gmail service have some issue? Anyone else experiencing it?
Thanks.
I think the first thing to clarify is whether or not you're using the native GMail app or have set up GMail through and alternative e-mail app (i.e.: Enhanced E-mail).

Sorry, I am using native app.
It seems that I also can not send any mail. It gets stuck in outbox, saying "Sending", but it is never sent.

The camera issue is among known problems with CM11 and since CM11 stable was not released yet, it is ok. I am sure that stable version will have this problem resolved.
Clear data for gmail. Settings > Apps > Gmail. You will not lose any settings, it will just delete your email from the phone and re-sync.

Thanks for the suggestion, the issue resolved itself today on both phones. I guess there was some problem on Google side.
