Nope, doesn't work for me...each time I go into FB Home it tells me the certificate isn't the same as the regular FB app. Keeps prompting you to install FB even after you have already done it and updated.

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...

I have just been in the phone to HTC UK who haven't got any idea of how to solve the facebook crisis with syncing pictures in the gallery
and have stated its a bug which should be corrected
I have with a bit of trial and error managed to solve the issue - yes I know this is another forum topic but its important that users know how to do it as its causing users a nightmare
Right first thing
Go into settings
then into accounts and sync
on the facebook account ensure live feed is unchecked
Now go to settings and apps
go to all
search on facebook
you will get facebook and facebook for htc sense
select each one and clear the data and cache
go back and do the same for the gallery app
if you now check your gallery you will have no facebook pictures in it
If you now launch the facebook app sign in as normal as clearing the cache will remove your account
when you sign in ensure you don't sync contacts
now go to settings and account and sync
go to facebook again and ensure the live feed has remained unchecked
if you now go into the gallery you will not be able to see your facebook pictures and it will be restored back to normal for my photos
the only issue is that if you click on friends it wont contact anything as you have cleared the data and the pictures
until htc sort a fix out this is the best we can do
The guy at htc has escalated the bug and it should be looked at next firmware release
:laugh: SOLVED | Don't forget to thank me if you appreciate my work
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Cancel they remained off for 20 mins and now back on my gallery grrr HTC need to sort this annoyance out
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
what i've done is - disable live feed sync in facebook. then wipe htc facebook data in apps. forks fine for now)
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Never sign in to facebook via htc sense. All it will do is give you problems. Just log in with the app and sync nothing.

If you sign in with the facebook app it automatically seems to do it via sense ... no matter which way I have cleared the cache / data and signed in the pictures keep coming back
I am now trying to use an apk which I have found on the internet for 2.2.1 facebook to see if that will sort it
if you look in the app menu for facebook and disable the app .. and then go to the market you have to re enable which then gives you the same issues
it seems like htc have really sown up facebook on the device
ill let you know how I go on with a separate apk I don't want facebook in my gallery and still keep trying to find a way round it
open your facebook account go to Account Settings->Apps then configure "facebook for htc sense" or just remove it then your problem is solved.
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Nope still populates the gallery
In accounts there is only facebook not facebook sense
How do you launch facebook sense ?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Weird it used to work on Sense 4+. Friendstream can't pull any data on facebook when I remove it directly on my facebook account
Re: Facebook Gallery Issue with Sync Pictures SOLVED
Think HTC need to sort this bug out only way at moment is to disable facebook which seems pointless
I'll use another gallery till sorted
Only grumble I have is about the facebook integration other than that love the phone

Same problem here. Pretty damn annoying Lots of junk in my gallery now!!
Maybe the thread title should be changed to remove the "Solved" from it, i catch the title now and again and keep looking only to realize it still isn't solved.

Yeah exactly. Come on OP change the title. Very misleading because I remembered this thread and searched for it just to get a fix, when I found it I realised it doesn't work. Mods?
Have amended it does clear when logged into facebook temp but not a permanent fix
Thought I'd cracked it but alas no HTC have escalated the issue so hopefully fix well get released cos it's damn annoying

How about disabling the facebook app from setting/app and then download just another app for facebook instead of using the integrated facebook app??
think that should work?
let us know!!
Is this the remains of the facebook home launcher i tried or is the new updated facebook messanger service.
Check the attachment, the bit i have highlighted in RED appeared when a friend messaged me, and when I click on it it opens the FB messanger app, very similiar to the facebook home launcher. It closed when I tried a SS of it though, and I cant be bothered adb'ing to do it....
Its not a problem, I was just wondering..
this new feature may be disabled in options of FB Messenger app
Updated to 7.0 and all my apps. My Gmail app doesn't show any email when I open the app. However I do see the notifications for my email on lock screen and in notification tray but when I click on it the app loads empty.
I tried to uninstall and reboot where it will work on first boot but after awhile the Gmail app won't show the email.
Any suggestions?

Try Aquamail
Do you have exchange accounts? If so, remove them then swipe Gmail away from the recent apps screen. If it returns to normal, try adding exchange accounts one by one slowly.
