Facebook sync - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any Roms that have added the ability to sync facebook contacts yet? I know after a while there were a few for the gnex and nexus 4, but in my quick look around the Roms that usually had it, I saw no mention.
Thanks in advance!
PS, I use Haxsync and it's fine minus being able to bring phone numbers over from FB.

Try this as well if you'd rather stay on your current rom

are you using a custom rom? the stock messaging app?
Need more information to be able to help you out.
No stock ROM stock messaging app.

May need to change your settings. Go into the messaging app, hit menu, then settings. You may have it set to delete after so many.
Yeah I saw that but it says after 200 in one thread. does it mean 200 message total or 200 in a individual thread?

If you're running stock or a stock ROM and are using the stock Samsung messaging app, you should be able to backup SMS with a Samsung account. It's not gonna help bring back the ones you lost now, but it can help prevent you from losing anymore from here on out.
Individual basis.

Haxsync and KitKat

Hey guys, has anybody tried had sync? I always used it on my nexus devices, however, the last update for it is on October 6th, way before KitKat release date. I've read through some of the reviews and some have mentioned of it preventing phone from going to deep sleep and causing wake locks. That was on a galaxy phones though, no mention of issues on nexus 5. I have just got the nexus, don't really want to install something that's not fully compatible yet.

Working fine for me.. Just got my phone a couple hours ago, so can't really say much on the wake lock part. But, the contacts sync up and its fine so far..
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Why not try it for your self? If it causes problems just uninstall it. Plan and simple. Not like it can brick your phone because an app isn't 100% compatible.
Working fine for me too.

I have sync.me on one of my old androids letting it update my contacts...good idea if you have a old phone laying around...not sure but you could use haxsync like that too.

I did when I got my nexus. My battery died faster than expected. I looked through logs, and noticed that yahoo weather was draining a lot of battery on the background, ended up uninstalling that and haxsync because I figured that it could have been both as android usage was also high. Today, everything was fine. I will try to reinstall it.
I do seem to get some contact pics synced, I'm guessing by default Facebook app still doesn't sync contacts on stock, right? Pictures might be coming from Google +?

I have not as the Dev put in the description that it's only needed for 4.1. Calendar and contacts are syncing just fine without it.

Uhm I installed it, but the pictures seems to be all in low resolution.. It's because this Nexus is bigger then the previous?

On 4.4.2 haxsync doesnt work anymore at least for me
are there any alternatives?
I don't find HaxSync on Play Store, on both Play Store app (on Nexus 5) and Play Store web
There's a playstore fix in xposed installer. This may fix your problem

MersauX,
Can you please tell me where you found it? What link? When I search for the Haxsync APK, I find a lot of sites, but I am always a bit leery at downloading them from these types of places since I worry about the files authenticity. Thanks in advance.

Thanks but it's not currently available on the play store. That's the reason I asked in the first place.
I've never had any wakelocks using haxsync, and it has never shown up in my battery stats ever.

Odd, that link works for me. Must be because I've had it installed for years...

Caller ID photo blurry

Is there a way to make the Caller ID photos not blurry other then using HD Full Screen Caller ID app? I use Ubersync for facebook to update my contacts photos and information in my contacts but they all come out blurry.
I use haxsync which is pretty good and takes HD pictures from Facebook. There's also sync me but I haven't tried it.

Does it sync with hd pic? 'cause the last time I checked, the result was not as good as haxsync.

There is only one "small" problem... It's not possible to find haxsync on Play....

The pics are super sharp and it also adds some cool features to call screen if you choose to use them. I just discovered this app a couple days ago when I realized that haxsync wasn't updated to work with kitkat.
I use UberSync for Facebook. I didn't know about sync.me until now and I can't compare them, but UberSync does its work pretty well.

Sync.me doesn't incorporate with contacts app, it's a standalone app, so I think haxsync it's a one-way solution, if ubersync doesn't sync with hd pics. Haxsync works with KitKat.
Sent from my Nexus 5
I used to use sync.me but personally I find haxsync much better. Also it syncs much more like calendars, status updates and the pictures seem better.

Am I the only one here that would have a contact list full of either random people, or dogs, or famous people if they sync'd their facebook friends profile pictures?
lol
I have manually added contact images since i went Nexus simply because i got sick of not seeing the actual person that was calling me....I'm a little OCD about stuff like that...so i manually went in and plucked High res images from Facebook for each contact, uploaded them, and they get sync'd across in nice crisp images now. I rarely add new contacts, but when i do, I just do it manually. it kinda sucks, but its the only way i can get an accurate picture that is the same every time that person calls me.
What about non Facebook people? I don't use Facebook for anything but I would still like HD pictures. Any ideas?

HaxSync

Seriously? We have to use a 3rd party for this??? What a pain. Had this with S3 and now S4. I find it hard to believe (call me naive) but why can't Samsung or Google, or Android or whoever simply make this little item work. All my FB synced contacts the photo is blurry.

Can't reach Google at this moment?

So within Google Now when I click the little magic looking icon, I try to change my location and it says can't reach Google at this moment?
My friend was able to do it next to me in his Galaxy Mega with no problem.
Any thoughts?

Side Solution:
Found a work around by opening Google Maps, sliding the little tab on the left out and editing the location from there.

Try a different connection type. If you're on wifi, try it on lte, or vice versa.

Contact pics

I sold my note 3 yesterday and bought a nexus 5.
In the stock contact app I don't see pictures on the contacts.
On Samsung n HTC it use to merge FB and wapp pics and show as contact pics.
Is there a way to do it here? I've got the fb account set up and it's working.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
You need an app to do it, e.g. Haxsync:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync
Stock Android doesn't have the option to sync with Facebook contacts
HaxSync is blocked by Facebook at the moment. SyncMe is the better option. Its improved a lot recently.
I paid the money and it didn't work..luckily the refund option was still available.. Thank you.. I'll try that

I may start using it again for birthdays then. Although Sync ME does seem better at the moment...
I would use it but it leaves an icon in my app drawer whereas Haxsync doesn't

Sometimes have to allow Haxsync to sync a few times at first, depends on how many contacts you have to sync (I only have 56 contacts on my phone). Personally, it's the best app I've used, been using it on my old phones (GNex, Nexus 4) and now my Nexus 5
