With the new update today I think it's finally as good as the iPhone version, minus chat.
everything still loads slow as hell over here with cog 2.2 b9
Contact syncing is not back, no chat, etc etc
-_-
Contact syncing is a separate service using some goofy Samsung thing SNS. On the Nexus One it was built-in with the facebook app.
Still no push notification, but at least now when you click on a notification it loads it in the app instead of loading up the website.

older versions of the fb app had contact syncing that allowed you to select "only sync with existing contacts" instead of samsung's fb sync that syncs every contact unless you manually uncheck them.
HTC did it best with their built in fb sync

I don't even get my notifications. Everytime I load the app, "500/Internal Server Error". Uninstalling and rebooting hasn't done anything for me yet. Heck it FC'd upon first launch. I just don't get why our app has to be so far behind the iOS and Blackberry versions. Its not like we don't have the user base.

I'm pretty sure the setup wizard in 2.2 gives you the option to "only sync with existing contacts"

Ahhh, ok. My biggest complaint about Samsung's SNS thing is that it doesn't seem to pickup new friends. When I add someone on Facebook, they never show up in my contacts or link to an existing contact, even if I do a manual sync.

Facebook Account synch was not available in Donut 1.6, so I downloaded the 2.2.1 update from this website for Cricket for both my Zio phones. Both are having the same issue. Contacts --> Menu --> Accounts --> Add Account --> Facebook. This does not work.
After clicking Facebook, it kicks me back one screen without adding it to the list of synched accounts. If I log out of Facebok and clear the data, and re follow the steps above, it displays the log in screeen to facebook. After logging in, it simply brings up my facebook home screen. When I go back into Account & Sync settings, Facebook is still not listed. Is anyone with a Zio, and with the 2.2.1 update having this issue?
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Facebook app to no avail.
I'm having that same issue. I have been doing some research and will let you know if i find a fix
download syncmypix from the market. It works great unfortunately it does add everyone from your facebook. If it cant find a contact because the name is different just press and hold onto the contact in syncmypix and seletc link to contact and select the contact you have in your phone book and it will sync it.
make sure you have sync turned om from the facebook app itself. open the app, and back out of the newsfeed. press menu > settings and verify you have contact sync turned on.

I'm running the offical facebook app from the android market and I have the same issue.
Same issue
I installed the Facebook app from the market and I have the same issue. I am unable to sync Facebook in my contacts.
Im pretty sure this is because there isnt a stock facebook app built into our android version.
And when you think about it, if you install facebook app, it will automatcally sync (in the facebook settings). So theres really no need for android to handle the sync.
Kyocera should have removed this from the sync settings..
I had to do a factory reset. I added Facebook as an account and synced contacts. It doesn't show up in accounts but all my FB contacts are in my contacts now. Sign out of the FB app, uninstall it. Add FB to your accounts. Reinstall. Contacts should be there. Make sure your also signed out of FB in your browser.

Facebook contacts may be added by going to the home screen(or one with sufficient space) and long pressing. The go to folders. Put up Facebook Phonebook. Open it. Go in to each contact individually and add them.

Not necessarily the easiest way to sync your Facebook contacts, I am going to see what can be done to actually sync contacts.

Easiest way I have found to sync facebook contacts is an app called friendcaster. There is a free and pay version on the market place.
Has anyone been able to add their facebook account by going to settings-accounts-facebook?
I installed the facebook app off the market, but when i went under settings it didn't give me the option to sync friends to contacts like it did on my droid.
So went to accounts, add facebook, entered my email, and password, but it wouldn't sign in
Kept giving me a server error, then about every third time it gives an error that says that something is wrong with the device clock and to contact the administrator.
Tried uninstalling the app to see if it was causing problems, but no luck. Anyone been able to sync facebook friends with contacts (its
mainly to get contact pics off facebook)
Thanks
Edit: Finally got it to work. Only took over a week
When you install Facebook, under the "My Accounts" app, you'll see two entries for Facebook. One is actually for your Facebook app, and one is for Moto's "Social Networking" app. Using the Moto-branded version may offer you additional features.
I've noticed a couple places where you get shafted by Moto software for not using their built-ins. Like the Car Dock front page only links to the Moto Music Player... which has no music because I stream from Google Music.
I believe since OS 2.3 (Gingerbread), the facebook sync with accounts option has been removed from Android.
Easy method, download (free) SyncMyPix from the Market, it will sync facebook pics with matching accounts on your phone into your actual Google Contacts.
I run it once and don't let it do it automatically, just run it whenever I add new contacts.
The sync facebook accounts worked fine on my original droid, its running cyangenmod 7 2.3.3. Thats why it was driving me nuts, could just set the sync settings from the facebook app. Figured it was some moto thing, but didn't know if it was specific to my phone or not.
Thanks

Thanks for the SyncMyPix suggestion!
Looks like the facebook app has removed the settings for syncing contacts. Tried using the Verizon "MyAccounts" app but definitely a little screwy.
fb contacts synced with no problems for me. I used the "social networking" app in the app drawer and entered in my fb info. contacts now have either gmail or fb photo as their contact photo.
I used one of the two in the My Accounts app, contacts synced just fine.
I don't love that when you sync with face book your gallery becomes less about you, and turns into a fb gallery...wish you could turn only that feature off...

Use quickpic, 100x better gallery and free

So suddenly my contacts that are joined with my facebook friends aren't sharing the pics. Used to be that whenever I would get Call or a text the contacts name would show up with their facebook picture. Now all of a sudden it just shows an android pix. Although the facebook pix will show up in the contacts page. Anyone have any ideas? Im using com rom 2.1 and this high voltage reenergized.
Here is what I do. I use the Max os x address book and sync it to my Google account, and there is an app that sybcs Facebook info with address book. So I sync Facebook and address book, then address book with Google, the Google with the phone. Haha.

There is no option to link photos in the app. Does it do it automatically? Been a few hours since installed and nothing has changed.
Here's a question to all: is this linked account done via the Facebook app or SNS? I noticed personally that pictures would only show up with SNS configured.
How do you set defaults? Been looking around on phone and can't find anything. Also, I sync using facebook so everything isn't doubled up. Is that why the pics aren't linking?

You can tell the Facebook app to not sync contacts, and tell SNS to sync contacts, and you won't double up. That's been my experience on CR2.1.
Running ComRom 2.1 and have had same problem. SyncMyPix didn't work for me, but I did find a workaround.
I downloaded and installed 'Phonebook' from Market. It is a contact replacement app. I logged into Facebook through the app and it matched my existing contacts and it automatically downloaded their Facebook pictures and replaced all the Contact pictures.
Now when I go back into 'Contacts' all the latest Facebook profile pictures are with the contacts. And the photos also appear for incoming calls and text messages.
Hope that helps.
You gotta go into facebook settings. And then select, "Sync existing contacts with facebook contacts". The names have to be exactly the same as well or else it won't sync automatically. Otherwise you'd just have to link it manually.
is there a way to link contacts in cm7?
Go into market and search "syncmypix"
It takes all the pictures for contacts you have and uploads them to Google contacts

1) Go into your Google contact
2) Select menu -> edit
3) Menu -> join
4) Profit
sweet but a pain in the ass from when just needed to click menu on contact and go join. But good find none the less!

You are 100% correct. I disable the facebook app from syncing. Then I re-created the SNS facebook sync, and joined my contacts again. Everything shows up.

LOL mine is the opposite....I have SNS off and fbook app does it.
Is there a way to only sync photos with existing contacts from Facebook? For some reason, all of my Facebook contacts are now in my phone and I don't really need them all there. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: Figured it out. For anyone wondering, all you do is Open Contacts -> Press Menu button -> Display Options and then un-check Facebook and it will clear out your FB Contacts, but leave the ones you entered yourself.
Thank you so much for this! I deleted all of the fb contacts that got added by hand then they all synced back again... I was like wtf dude.... glad I searched and found this, I was going to make a new thread!

yep, just install Facebook, launch it and it'll ask (the first time...after logging in) "sync all contacts" or "sync only existing contacts" Choose existing. Done.
I was having issues with this working the way I wanted, so I just used SyncMyPix. Does syncing it using the FB app or using and FB account sync more than just the pictures?
Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?
