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!

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..

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
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Okey so I have a new atrix I got 5 days ago from the warranty center. Its running the gingerbread 2.3.4. My problem here is that my facebook doesnt sync into my contacts ( I only see contacts from other accounts ) It also doesnt sync with my gallery ( when I go to my gallery homepage its suppose to show the pics uploaded by my friends on facebook ) I have tried turning the device on and off / Removing the battery / Resetting my phone to factory setting (X4) / Making a new MotoBlur account / Also took the phone back to the warranty center and I tried it on a new phone and still no results. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

As far as I know, Google disabled the syncing of Facebook pics to contacts because their tiff about private data.

Right I read the same thing. I also heard that Google told fb they would have to write the code (for pic syncing) into their own app just like everyone else has to do. No more free ride for facebook now that Google has a competitor. Hopefully fb does add the feature into their app in the future.
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

My phone book when i had my arc use to sync all the pics with fb but now on the xperia s it has synced a couple was wondering if there is a solution or any1 with the same problem. I have fb inside xperia turned on so it should work
thanks in advance
They'll all be in your google contacts already I guess, so merge them there and they'll update on your S as soon as gSync runs.

I can't do it. I have sync my contacts through my gmail into my xperia s and then I logged in facebook and checked the option sync my existing contacts. But nothing happened. What i do wrong ??
Go into contacts
Hit menu then filter . Make sure Facebook is ticked in the option
Failing this , I had a problem where my contacts came over and not the pictures .
What I had to do was uninstall the facebook updates . Turn off the Xperia facebook sync
Add the facebook app updates , log on and set it to sync all contacts
Waited for sync to finish then added xperia facebook sync
It then worked
I had the same problem! Facebook updates and everything but will not sync my friends' photo onto my phone! Had to use "facebook sync" from the store/play in the end
I have a relatively same problem.
My contacts aren't synced with FB. FB sync either way syncs all my FB contacts with phone number.
I'd like it to sync only the ones that are already in my phone. How can I do that.
I'm also having this issue, with my X10 it was just a case of going through each contact and 'joining' them with their Facebook profiles, although now I've moved over to the S I cant seem to figure it out, i have the odd couple of friends who have pictures as their contact images but these are either coming from Gmail or G+
the occasional Facebook picture will link up but not all of them like before
I had the same problem. Just go to the settings>accounts & sync settings and there in Manage accounts tab you should have facebook inside xperia and there you should have sync calendar, albums in agllery and contacs. Works fine on mine
Hi i cant seem to find this option in my XPS.. "facebook in xperia" as that of the arc..

Ahh.. will try that. Didn't work first time. Maybe more luck next time
Although I tested mine and it works fine, I use Friendcaster pro for push notifications and contact pictures. The pictures are a higher quality and look really nice compared sometimes. I used to use it as my main Facebook app, but Facebook have really stepped up how good their app is now
Oh and by the way there is a free (ad supported) version as well, called simply Friendcaster
I've always had a problem with the image quality, but now it also downscales the images I set to a thumbnail format. Facebook images and manual set images get (I think) sync with gmail, and get replaced by a thumbnail version (same goes for facebook images, so i assume it's the gmail sync.
Any way I can fix this ? I still want to keep sync with gmail, and the above app "friendcaster" I might try, but it wont solve the problem for manual profile pictures I set.
I hate this, I've got a huge ass crystal clear screen, and only low quality and/or images with 100by100 pixels
i still cant get the phone book to sync contact pictures with facebook. i get three different contacts when facebook sync and facebook inside experia syncs. i get different info for each.
do we have to manually merge all the contact info?

Same here.
The only thing Facebook in Xperia synced for me was my best friends relationship status lol.
Urgh! I do not know why. But this still does not work for me, and its a bit frustrating!
Anyone have any solutions on the new ICS for this issue>
This is due to FB and Google not agreeing on the way contact settings are stored. Doesn't work on ANY ICS device without some kind of hack.
Whats the flag which defines the sync?
Hi, my ques is that what criteria or field is it that is necessary for a successful sync?
Like, i have 2 phone contacts with matching names as on facebook, and same email as used in their fb a/c (both hv no nmbrs posted on fb).
But one contact sync beautifully with bday, photos etc, but the other has no info pulled!
So what criteria sets d sync???
(SE Arc S on GB unrooted)
I am rooted! YAY! I didn't know that my contacts with fb would not sync, and neither are all of mine from google. booo!
Is there any way to get my facebook contacts to sync with my phone contacts? I really liked having all those pics for everyone, plus all of the other contact info. I didn't know that the backup my phone was syncing with every day (was it with verizon?) on stock GB was not a contact list that I would not be able to use on ICS. I lost a lot of contacts. How do I get all of my google contacts to show up, and how come it's only showing me some of them, and not all of them? Where do I go to manage all of my google contacts and get them on my phone? Do I do that from the desktop gmail in my pc browser?
Also, is there a way to make the contact manager list the contacts without the ginormous pictures in a side-by-side fashion? I really don't like the look or feel of it, is there a better way?
ETA: This might be helpful, duh, sorry

For google just set your gmail up or google voice and they should automatically show up.
Just do a google search. Thats what I did.
well, that is incredibly outdated and poorly written information, but thanks.

You're going to have to use an app such as HaxSync if you want to sync your Facebook contacts in ICS.
different contact manager for ICS?

thank you! I knew their had to be a way. Is there a different contacts manager for ICS? I really dislike the one that it comes with. Maybe I am just too used to the one that GB had, but I find the one is ICS to very unwieldy.
