I'm new to the DROID x2. I was just wondering why the Facebook app didn't have a sync contact option and if so how do I sync my contacts. I went to accounts under contacts and added fb but not all are sync. Very little are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys and girls.

Go into your contacts, open the menu, and tap on display options. click on FB next and see if the sync contacts is checked.
my phone is not in front of me right now but I think thats the way to get to those options.

I did that and it sync some but not all. On other phones, they ones it didn't sync I can manual sync them by clicking on their name....can I do that here?
Go to contacts and click the menu button then display options. It should say only show contacts with phone numbers at the top. See if that's selected. That might limit whos being synced.

If nothing else works, try downloading friendcaster from the market and sync them through the app. After flashing certain roms, FB doesn't play nice with my contacts and friendcaster is the only way I can get them to sync

Friendcaster?

Friendcaster is your only option from I believe pre 8.1 Eclipse. 8.1 on up FB should sync with AOSP.

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
Hello,
I just wondered if i can sync Facebook Birthdays on my phone as i can't find the settings...
I used to be able to do it on my HTC with calendar but can't seem to do it on this phone or a possible App from the market that will do this...
Kind Regards
Moto blur doesnt include this. I have tbolt as well. But i am sure there might b a calander app. I will take look

If you sync your Facebook to your Google acct you should get your birthdays listed when your Google calendar syncs to your phone.

Hi there,
I don't want to sound dumb but how do i sync Facebook to Google??
Kind Regards
Make the email acct associated with your Facebook acct your gmail acct. I had to do this when I had a fascinate in order to get my Facebook calendar to sync with my phone. In a nutshell, your phone calendar syncs with your gmail calendar automatically, so if you make your gmail your default Facebook email it should force the sync to your phone's calendar.

Does it sync your FB contacts to the phone?
I use this app as well, as a replacement to the official FB app, but I can't sync with it, or even add it as a sync account in the Settings...
You dont need an app for that. You need to add the contact as a google contact and then join the google contact with the matching facebook contact. Then the pics should sync.

C'mon really. I was a being a good sport and went along with Moonshield's and CaelanT's joke. Anything further is just being immature. I'd expect better from a "Senior Member".
Uninstall and reinstall
I had the same problem. I uninstalled and reinstalled the facebook app, and leave it on charging with wifi connected (As per my settings) overnight, and everything was in by the morning.
My FB contacts sync aok using FriendCaster on CM9 [ADT's SelfKANGish build 8]. Receive status updates, notifications, etc, also no problem.
Really, guys?
I asked this in a different thread but it was moving so fast I think people over looked it.
Is there anything from the gb roms that i can do/add that will allow social hub sync my contacts? I loved how it showed all my Facebook friends birthdays in my calendar. i noticed HTC sense would do this too.
It might not be that its social hub that isn't allowing it it could be the calendar. maybe im missing a step. When I sign into my social hub fb account it shows to sync calendars but it doesn't show their birthdays.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

I know that after installing the Facebook app, you get presented with a screen which asks you what you want to sync. Personally I hate it so I always click 'do not sync' but I'm pretty sure it'll let you sync like Sense does?
Facebook app settings has a way to sync FB.
but the only thing the FB app actually sync is the picture and phone number, and maybe email, I don't remember it syncing birthdays.

I use the same app and have no issues... have you tried wiping the app's cache and data then uninstalling and reinstalling
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried several times to that.
When I go to the stock calendar, the only account I see is gmail .
And if I add a new account, I get message that the account is already there.
Any other ideas?

I'm referring to the stock "Email" app that comes with Android. Or have you thought of using it instead of the Hotmail app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I believe this is a bug that started with Android v 4.0.x
For instance, my work email is a live365 account and my phone running CM9 will not my get emails, it's loading forever with default email app...
I have not tried the default email app.
The weird thing is that the email pat, even contact syncing works. It's just the calendar syncing.
I will post some screenshots of my TP when I get home.

I got sick of the Hotmail app and moved to the stock one and have ever since not been able to sync the Calendar. I'm not really comfortable with Hotmail calendar --> Google calendar --> Phone calendar. As mentioned by an other member earlier, this could've something to do with Android 4.0.x., especially since it was working with 2.3.6 for me. Have attached a few screen shots to show what I mean.
I guess this is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue with Android 4.0.x
This suck becuase I have all my dates in Hotmail calendar.
I guess should move to Google calendar
Simple change in settings solved the problem for me.
1. Set Sync frequency to Automatic - Push instead of Never.
2. Turn on Auto sync.
3. Wait for it to sync.
Live calendar will then appear in android calendar.

No the issue is your setup because I have 8 Android devices and all of them sync both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts (mail, contacts, calendars and tasks) without a hiccup

Of course Ive taken for granted that you have double checked all your sync options in the apps you are trying to use and set them to push correct?
Also taking for granted that you have toggled all those settings on and off and rebooted in between toggles correct?

Hi there
I have an acer iconia a500 (ICS)and I have the same problem. Well, everything was working fine but suddenly my calender and contacts didn't sync.I figured out that microsoft wants us to use the dedicate app from the market. You can still use the stock email app for email only. What you can do is use the microsoft app only to sync calendar and contacts.
