i recently installed ICS on my SGS. now, I miss the samsung's FB sync that not only would get my contacts's photos, e-mails and also dates of birth and put them in my calendar.
i tried the FB app sync but it isn´t working. i'm currently using friendcaster but it only sync contacts's photos.
is there any better solution?
thanks
Ics disables fb sync for now

Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?
Hi, I know that there is a bug/restriction on ICS, but is there a way to sync contact and events like birthdays on a new calendar?
Got it on my Evo 3d but I don't know if this is sense related function.
Thanks.
Syncing Facebook screwed up the contacts on my phone so I stopped doing it, it may be because of that or because of the spat between Google and Facebook.
Try Haxsync. It works for me. But it's paid for app.

Does this also work with the calendar? (calendar widget)
Only with contact images, there is no calendar sync from facebook.

The newest version of Haxsync can do calendar sync now!
Dears,
Dud anybody get Facebook sns to work on aokp milestone?
I like how the birthdays are integrated into the calendar. Tried 3rd party apps like a calendar, ebo, friend caster and haxsync but none was really good and some birthdays were missing, also syncing the fb calendar to Google is not good as then the contacts from address book are shown twice.

If you are on ICS, use Haxsync, it syncs pictures in HD quality.
so how does haxsync work? does it save FB pictures and directly sync to google server?
Im thinking of doing multi-boot to ICS, install haxsync and sync then go back to cm 7.2 and have the contacts re-sync. will that work?
I'm a cm 7.2 lover as ICS isn't stable yet

Sadly it wont work that way.
Haxsync syncs your facebook contacts photo in ICS phonebook without phone number coz FB doesn't allow these app to sync mobile number. Then you have to manually join your google contacts with fB contacts. The only good thing about this app is that It syncs pic in HD quality and this is the first app which could do this job on ICS.
Any shortcut to sync fb haysync pix to gmail contacts? I have 400 plus with phone number

Sry for picking up an old thread, but is there any News on this?
I would love to sync fb user pics to Google, so I have them in my gmail contacts too without too much hassle.
Any tips highly appreciated.
Kind regards,

You have to stay in contacts and wait few minutes while the info is requested.

have you tryet synchronize all contacts not only phonecontact
Facebook contact sync was disabled in ICS, so Sony's version does that in a weird way. Try removing your FB account and re-adding it.
I had a hard time getting facebook to sync too. After a few minutes it worked, but it's kind of weird because not all the contacts sync.
The best to sync contact pictures in the highest possible quality is to do it with "Facebook contact sync" -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
You can adjust image quality, sync interval and more... Best app ever!

So much more efficient than stock FB apps. :good:
I'd recommend HaxSync ..
I cannot get the Top Contacts widget to work properly. After so many tries re-signing FB and FB inside Xperia, somehow I don't know exactly I got it to work and sync with the Facebook but after 2 days only I am now getting the error that there seems to be a problem with Sync and should be back shortly.
How to get it working again.
What's wrong with Sony's facebook contact sync? I can see that there is some apps from playstore that can sync the photos, but I prefer only to use Sony's sync.
Its strange, because some contacts is sync and some are not.
Had anybody fund the solution yet?
