Can not sync Facebook account. If you go to settings\ Account and Sync, you can't add facebook account. The screen flashes and nothing happens. I tried to reinstall facebook app a few time. Doesn't work. This make games and apps that have facebook login feature stop working because you can't login. Anyone know of a remedy?
Same thing is happening with skype ..... any help

Is that an app or a root tool or etc? Description and a link would be helpful. Appreciate the suggestion though thanks!

Hi xda. I was hoping you could help me.
On my last ROM installation I had a big problem with facebook contact syncing. What happened was I installed the facebook app and synced with that as well as syncing with the facebook integration of the contacts app.
It was a big mess.
My question to you lovely folks is this: which method should I use for best results?
Facebook application, or contacts application facebook sync.
Thank you very much

Honestly, I sync both (possibly needlessly). I have had small issues in the past, but as of awhile now, not one single problem. Might depend on the ROM. I run Adrynalyne's Super Clean 2.9. I love it. What I personally suggest, TRY syncing them both again, if that's what you like, or just Sync the Facebook App as the Facebook App Syncs everything that the Phone Facebook Sync does.
Hi i got streakDroid 2.0.0 and when i go to contacts and then Account Settings, I
add my Google Account...works fine,
then I add my Twitter Account .... works fine.
Then i want to add my facebook Account, giving it my login data it works fine, the facebook apps open and i can use it like the way befor. But then the Facebook account is not in the List of the account. And in continue there are no Facebook contacts in my Contacts List. And this is sucks
When I go to Account Settings again and click "add facebook" it loads 1 second and bring me back to Account Screenm but again without the FB Account.
Can someone help me here?
I think this is more to do with a disagreement between Google and Facebook about contact sharing than a problem with the ROM. I think Google took integration out of the ROM for 2.3.3

Can anyone confirm if this is true!?
If this is true this is not nice. That was one of my Favorite Contacts Features...
just got my new S3 last night, pretty happy. However, I can't get FB events/birthdays to show up in the calendar like my previous Amaze did? There is no calendar option under the accounts and sync option for facebook?
Any ideas?
You have to add a "Facebook (for sync)" account (I don't if that's the correct translation, I don't have my phone in English), you don't even need to install the Facebook app. Then you need to allow the permissions it asks, if you reject or remove any of it, then it won't work.
Awesome! Thanks!
I'm getting events but no birthday?

The easiest way to do it is, go to facebook calendar on your browser, copy the export calendar link, add this link on your google calendar via web browser. Now when you go to your google calendars on your android, you will be presented with 2 new calendars facebook events and facebook birthdays.
Its very effective that way

I tried that and gave me the link was wrong. So i exported it as iCal and imported in good calendar. Worked like a charm.
One question though, every time i have a new event coming up or add a new friend on FB, i will have to re-export, am i right? because it doesn't auto update them.
The only way to keep updated is the app?
Thanks for your input guys
I am running the latest CM9 / AOKP / Liquid Rom (10/26). I can not seem to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts. So in the contacts I am not seeing contact pictures or any facebook related info. I have went to menu / system settings / accounts & sync and set facebook account to sync on. That did not work. So I uninstalled and re-downloaded the facebook app again. Still no dice. Any suggestions?
App Facebook Contact Sync. Do not allow the facebook app to sync, it will only duplicate if it even works. Which in 99% of the case it doesnt.

Ang1dust, Facebook Contact Sync app did the job. Thanks.
Is there a way to get facebook contacts sync without the facebook app? I've generally found that letting it run on my phone causes all sorts of problems.
Hi. I am new here.
I have problem with sync contacts from Facebook on my smartfon with Android 4.4.4 (Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE). It was working about 1 or 2 weeks ago, now doesn't work. Android doesn't download even 1 contacts from Facebook to his address book.
I logged out from Facebook application, deleted account Facebook from account in address book. Then added Facebook account again, logged in in Facebook application. Switch on sync all contacts and setup contacts to show for google account and Facebook account. Sync was completed and nothing was downloaded.
I don't know how can I fix this up.
PS: Facebook application was reinstalled, doesn't help..
PS2: application such sync.me doesn't download any FB contacts , too.
Seems like it probably has something to do with their new API. Check out the info for another FB contact sync type app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
Yes it is the api. After the change and the current tos from Facebook Google removed androids native sync options for Facebook.

You just need a 3rd party app to do it. Facebook is not really a big thing with alot of people I know so I really dont use it much and stopped syncing stuff from it when the TOS changed a while ago.
Test a few out in the play store. One of them is bound to work.
