Hey, I am running the newest Nookie Froyo. When I try to add a Facebook account in the account settings of the device, it just kicks me back to the previous accounts screen.
I want to be able to have my contacts sync with Facebook contacts like my Droid X. I have the FB app already but it doesn't do this.
Any ideas?
Bump...anyone?

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.
I noticed that even though i have Facebook set to sync with existing contacts, it doesn't sync the profile pictures of people with the messaging app. it does show the pictures in Contacts, but not messaging or phone calls. Is there anyway i can do this without any apps from the market? i wanna keep the stock messaging app. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Update on this, I've figured out how to sync my Facebook App with my contacts.
when i launch contacts it shows each persons Facebook Profile picture next to their name, however when I launch messaging or phone, I do not see these pictures, instead they are replaced with the default "No Picture" image
has anyone figured this out?
Rom: Mosaic V
I would ask in the Rom q&a thread as this should be the normal behavior if the snsprovider etc are incorporated into the Rom. Haven't messed with any of their new stuff but I would assume they have the correct apks included.
Delete all your accounts. Use the integrated Facebook thing in Accounts to sync your Facebook account to your phone. Then install Facebook and Twitter app.
Remember to clear Samsung Mobile in your Facebook App page, otherwise it won't work properly.

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

I cant add my facebook account to my phone to allow it to sync with my contacts...
I have recently reverted my phone back to stock from using roms for about 4 months. I am able to add my Gmail account no problem but then i click on the facebook account and it reverts back to the account page. I was able to add my facebook account before but no luck anymore... any ideas
I figured this is the place to ask it!
Thankyou.
I have enabled apps in the facebook page as well under privacy settings and it still does nothing and help would be greatly appreciated .
Cheers
Facebook for android is the worst app I have ever installed, when is not a thing is other, alpha versions of other apps I have installed have less bugs than it...
you may need to update the facebook app before you can add your facebook account.
Facebook for android is terrible.
Might I recommend Friend Caster? Designed much better, with popup notifications and it will sync all your contacts flawlessly. It's on the market.
Give it a whirl. You won't be sorry.

p.s. im using the facebook apk. v.something.
I have had a Motorola Droid 3 for about a week now. I just downloaded the Facebook App. It asked me to sync my contacts, so I did it. Now when I go through my contacts, there are doubles. There's the contact that was originally on my phone, and the one that came off of Facebook. I don't want to delete the original because I'm not quite sure if the number on Facebook is the correct number, and I like the idea of having a picture ID for my contacts. Any help would be appreciated.
you can join the contacts, although the process of having FB contacts and GMAIL contacts should be automatice. did you add a FB account in the account setup portion?
to join, edit the account, hit menu and then join. select accounts you want to join.
i have to do this with a few friends that insist on using aliases on FB.
On facebook you can disable the contact importing to your phone. Or on your phone in the main contacts directory you can disable contacts from fbook sync from showing. I had done it another way when I first got my droid 3 which was less of a hassle but I think I did it by luck.
