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

Hi,
i store my contacts at my google acc. But i feel like i miss everything if i dont get the newest facebook profile pictures of my contacts straight to my phone asap !
The Problem is, i came with an fresh new phone, link my google account and want to synch. (google contacts because i think its the best way, **** yea google!) Until now its fine, but as soon as i link my fb profile too, my phonebook is exploding. now i get the latest pictures and adresses etc, but they do not merge with the contacts from google. At least not automatically.
Now i have the contact with this old, ****ty, not so glamourous picture but with the up-to-date phone numbre and the same contact with the wanted, new photo, but without any numbre, because facebook is read only.. wierd. help!

Hi,
Wondering for those who use Opera Mini were you able to log in and sync to your bookmarks (and use other settings)? After accepting terms I can't find a way to login.
Also, anyone have any success in using Twitter client? Have been able to login but app seems to crash periodically. Better suggestion? Like Twitter for push notifications.
Thanks,
Mike
mjoshea,
I have the same problem with twitter, after a few seconds running it crashed and went back to desktop. Tweetdeck is my twitter app of choice. I've even told one of the root devs about it, and he though it was weird.
I've never synced bookmarks with opera, so I can't help with that.
Hi all
Wonder if anyone knows how to solve this problem (or bypass the system normal behaviour)
I have two phones with the same live account (in order to share my purchases on both phones). I can have different emails on both phones and everything worka great but, regarding the facebook, although I enter different facebook accounts on each phone, on the second phone I have the chat working with the the first facebook account. on the feed it shows correctely but the profile pic is from the first facebook account again... !
Its insane... please Help!
Thanks
Did you also link your facebook account with the microsoft account on the homepage?
or just in the phone itself?
The chat only works when the Live Account is connected to the Facebook account. This is necessary to enable push on Facebook Chat. Given that it's not an official Facebook Client the phone would otherwise have to stay connected to Facebook permanently so this is run through Microsoft's server infrastructure. In the end this means: two phones with one account will always share the Facebook chat, Live Messenger as well as Twitter integration. There currently is no way around that.
You could use another way to access the Facebook chat though.
