[Guide] How to get Facebook Sync to work. [Should work for all phones]

So after having an issue getting my Facebook to sync with my contacts I went through a lot of effort to find a solution. I eventually found the issue that was causing Facebook not to sync. At some point the Facebook app removed the sync option entirely from their app. Older versions had an option that you could enable contact syncing.
So to fix the problem first uninstall Facebook.

The next step is to go to Settings->Security and tick the option Unknown sources. This will allow you to sideload apps.
Then go to http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/faceboo...-apk-download/ and download the Facebook apk.
Then open up a file explorer and go to your downloads folder.
Tap the apk you just installed and then click install. You may need to press next a few times first or scroll down through the permissions.
After this press login and once you're at the main page for the app press the menu button.
Tap Settings.
Scroll all the way to the bottom where you will find Sync Contacts.
Tap Sync Contacts where you will be given three options. Choose the one that best suits your needs.
After that go to your phone's settings again
Find and tap Accounts & Sync
Tap the plus sign
Tap Facebook
Go through all you need to go through
Then when your back at the Accounts & Sync page tap Facebook
Make sure the checkbox next to Contacts is checked
At this point you can go to your People app and sync your contacts



I highly recommend you make sure Facebook cannot auto-update
To do this go to Play Store
Tap the three bars at the upper left
Tap My Apps
Go to Facebook and tap it
Then press the menu button
A menu should popup that has an Auto-update option with a checkmark. Make sure it is unchecked.


A little side note you will get notifications in Facebook to update. Just ignore them you do not have to update.

Problem with Facebook notifications

Facebook notifications on the status bar don't open the Facebook App when touched. They just close the notification list. Am I the only one with this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Favor for a fellow XDA-er... help with a facebook like

Hey guys, there's a contest going on in my local town, I was hoping to see if ya'll could give me some comment likes. I'd win a ipad mini!

So a direct link is here: https://www.facebook.com/BoilingPoin...%3A%22R9%22%7D

It's under the post by "Eric To" which says:

"The curry fish ball soup is my favorite because of the richness of the soup and the balance of fish balls, veggies, and the over-easy egg. #BPbacktoschool"

It has 63 likes currently. One guy has over 160, but he was using some bot, he got those in less than 30 mins.

If that link doesn't work properly, my comment is on the first page of this site:

https://www.facebook.com/BoilingPointSG

It's on the first post, the "back to school" post. Once you click the comments section you'll see my post detailed above.

Thanks!

White Neo's CM12.1 - Cannot update Facebook (error 504)

Hello,

My Xperia T has the latest WhiteNeos CM12.1 Homebuild. I have a problem with the Facebook app. Whenever there is an update, it downloads normally , but during installation, a message pop ups "cannot install facebook app uknown error -504". I have searched for solutions and the only one that works for me is to uninstall facebook and messenger, delete the appropriate folders from /data, clear Google play cache, reboot and I can reinstall facebook app (on 2nd try).

As you can imagine it is very annoying to do this on every update. Is there a more permanent solution maybe? - by permanent I don't mean to download facebook app from amazon store :p:p:p:p

Thank you :)

What exactly are "Clicks (All)" and "Link Clicks" in Facebook Mobile Install Ads

I have an Facebook Mobile Install Ads, which is used to drive my app installation rate.

My current "Clicks (All)" is significant higher than "Link Clicks".

I had gone through https://www.facebook.com/business/help/674769555983979 & https://www.facebook.com/help/commun...04930247030298, but I still have doubt on it.

My understanding is,

If clicking on ads brings user to Google Play Store,

+ "Link Clicks" count increase by 1
+ "Clicks (All)" count increase by 1

If clicking on ads brings user to my facebook page, or user "likes", "comment" or "share" my ads,

+ "Clicks (All)" count increase by 1

The problem is that, clicking any where in the ads, will only lead me to my Google Play Store page! There is no way to go to place other than Google Play Store page, by clicking on the ads. Also, the count for "likes", "comment" and "share" are 0 too.

So far, I have 2 "Link Clicks" & 60 "Clicks (All)".

If, 2 users go to my Google Play Store page by clicking on the ads, what other 60-2=58 users are doing? Where does the counter for "Clicks (All)" comes from?

Thanks.

Youtube videos won't work within Chrome or Facebook browsers

Suddenly, Youtube videos that are linked on FB or sites within Chrome won't load for me. There's no error message. When I hit play, it starts to buffer but doesn't actually play or load the video.

The YouTube app itself works fine. I have no idea what would make this change suddenly. Anyone have any fixes?

TIA.

Facebook (lol) crashing a second loading app on news feed

Does anyone else experience this problem? I am on latest oxygen 2.1, tried with stock kernel and latest ak kernel and have xposed with few modules.

I have had facebook version 46 which had worked perfectly fine until the v47 update from the playstore..which had completely messed the app up. A TBU restore of my previous v46 does the same now...

A clean flash has been done and still problems persist..anyone know of a fix?
