I have a droid 3 and droid pro and when i sync my contacts with facebook, it won't import the numbers nor will I be able to edit them so i can put the numbers in myself. I can't believe how irritating a simple transfer of numbers has turned out to be.
I don't know why this is happening now since it worked before. Is friendcaster doing some updates? Is anyone else experiencing issues?

Does anyone else have this issue?
My contact list displays all three sources...SIM/Phone/Gmail no matter what I select in "display" I had to delete all SIM and Phone contacts and just use Google Contacts not to have duplicates...
Maybe it is something I am doing wrong? Did not have this issue with 2.1.
I don;t use exchange. I am Google centric so Its not a bad thing but i was wondering if anyone else noticed this on their updated Phones.
I had the same problem. I had to unjoin all my contacts and delete all the multiples.

I had the same issue. It's bothering me, so I'm just going to pretend it doesn't exist.
Great I am glad its a "bug" and not unique to my device. I use Google contacts as it syncs. Phone and SIM contacts have no benefit for me. I have back ups to the SD card JIC.
Google contacts all screwed up.
found issue in other thread
they need to add an option to remove duplicates.
I have everything in my sync and also configured in my facebook settings to receive the notifications....But so far, I just receive one time...Is set to sync every 30min...But it worked one time only....
I know that is a know issue, I just would like to know if someone know how to fix that...
I wanted to receive notifications when i have messages, comments and new requests....
I just configured everything in the facebook settings on my phone...is still not working....
You did know you can activate your phone through Facebook to receive sms notifications.
Sign into Facebook>Account>Account Settings>Mobile Tab
See if that will do what you want. Facebook sync is meh at best.

Facebook notification is badly broken across all android phones and there's no excuse for it

yeah i wish we had the iphones facebook notifications..the only good thing about the iphone lol
So still no fix for this? My notifications worked before the most recent Facebook app update. Way to go, Facebook.
If you use Hotmail for facebook, Just sync it via EAS in
Settings > Accounts and sync > Add account > Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
You will get notifications via hotmail instantly.

Guys, I know this is an old thread but I want to see if someone can confirm that notifications work with this facebook apk.

It is a blacked out version which I honestly think is better without notifications, but I started getting them after installing. So if anyone could confirm it works for them, great! If not, I got lucky and at least we have a cooler looking version of facebook.
I am having a problem with facebook contact syncing on my SGS. The contacts all sync to my phone fine, but i have noticed that even if i have the same name in my phonebook as i do for a facebook friend it joins the 2 together.
Only problem is that if i join 2 people of the same name, it seems to use the profile photo and status of another facebook user, and there seems to be no way to sort it, i have tried deleting facebook account from phone and resyncing it, i have tried manually joining the contacts and still nothing.
Anyone else experienced this?
Happened to me on Several roms
Stock 2.1
Stock 2.2
Various custom roms
I'm running the ICS ROM by st.matt in the developer forum, and the major issue I'm having that nobody else seems to have mentioned is a lack of facebook contact syncing. I have the facebook app installed, but none of my contacts are getting their pics updated, and I can't seem to add the facebook account to my accounts list.
Is this something anyone else is seeing? Is this already known, but I just missed it?
it is a known problem
Well it isn't a game breaker that Facebook contacts aren't working.
But yes, I have the same problem, but I doubt that it is one that'll persist for long

hmmm..i thought you will need facebook for sense for sycn to happen, since ics alpha was aosp, so i think it won't be able to happen..
Yeah facebook only syncs with sense...
If you're a stickler for contact tidiness, and are struggling with no Facebook contact sync, you could always export your Facebook contacts to your PC and import them to your gmail account and sync them that way.
Although they won't updated should their details change, it's an alternative.

I went and got my Droid Turbo Thursday. I installed twitter, turned on notifications and selected which twitter accounts I wanted to receive notifications from. At first it worked perfectly, but starting saturday I noticed that I wasn't getting notifications anymore. I uninstalled the twitter app, reinstalled it, restarted my phone, unfollowed and refollowed the twitter accounts, turned mobile notifications off and back on for each of the twitter accounts. I get notifications from gmail and text messages, but for whatever reason twitter notifications don't show up. Every time I uninstall twitter on my phone, I'll get maybe 2 or 3 notifications before they just stop coming again. Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what this could be?
I created a new twitter account and the problem went away, so I'm guessing there is something wrong with my other twitter account. So if anyone else experiences this issue, create a new twitter account and see if that fixes the problem.
Twitter Push Notifications Not Working!
I'm having the same issue as Kenfolk but I really can't create a new twitter account. That is crazy. My notifications are turned on, on both my phone and on my twitter app. However, the only notifications I receive are the basics- like when multiple ppl retweet the same tweet- I do NOT get notifications for when my favorites tweet. I don't understand how my cheap POS lucid could deliver these notifications in real time but new, fancy, expensive Droid Turbo can't without me creating a new account.
Some one please solve this! Or I'm taking my phone back to Verizon this week.
Personally, I don't use Twitter on my Turbo. They are too much like Facebook and want permissions they don't really need. Like http://www.cnet.com/news/twitter-is-now-tracking-the-apps-you-download/ tracking what other apps you have on your phone. I installed both on my Kindle Fire which doesn't contain any contacts and only has a few apps on it.
But I wouldn't blame the Turbo phone if you are having Twitter issues. It could just be that the Twitter app hasn't yet been updated to work with the Turbo. The joys of coding an application for Android is that there are hundreds of different phones out there running a slightly different version and this is a programmer's nightmare. You can only do your best and fix the bugs as they happen. Before giving up on the Turbo, I would try contacting Twitter to see if they are aware of the issue.
Yea, I don't think it is an issue with the Droid Turbo itself, since I had a similar issue on my Droid X2. As it turns out creating a new twitter account only temporarily fixed the problem. I went in, unfollowed and refollowed the accounts and turned mobile notifications back on and sometimes that fixes the problem. To be honest I think it might be a problem with the app itself. I haven't had this problem in about a month, since I originally posted this, so I'm guessing that it just takes a little time for it to get back working. But ultimately creating a new twitter account didn't really solve my problem so I went back to my old account.
TL;DR Probably a twitter app problem not a Droid Turbo problem and only time will fix it.
