i am able to sync contacts easily i see my fb friends in my contact list.

i hope u did many things but i will tell you to try my method if it works gud if dont then u have nothing to loose as u still dont have sync :

1.uninstall fb app or wipe data ( recommend : wipe data and uninstall both)

2. download latest fb app from market.

3. log in with ur credentials

4. wait for app to load properly because as soon as u log in u will be presented with a screen with 3 options

see the image below

a. dont sync contacts

b. sync already in contacts

c. sync all contacts

choose from b or c i choose b

5. after this process dont exit app and press home button as it will take a while to sync. now go to android contacts >> contacts to display >> set it to all not only gmail.

see image below

thats all buddy i get my fb contacts like this only.
[Nexus 4 General] anurag549:
is there any method to root the phone and flashing custom kernel and other stuffs without loosing the data has any 1 tried any method as such?
[Nexus 4 General] jagjeetxda:
Haxsynch

Seems like the only way out right now, did not wanted to use that because 3rd party apps will not synch phone numbers and emails, its written in their disclaimer page also

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Abhishek, (I think I read your name as Abhishek in some thread)

That screen with three options is not available for Android 4.1 and above devices.

Just for more info on it.

https://www.google.co.in/#sclient=p...cp.r_qf.&fp=ec94f01a283cf05e&biw=1366&bih=705

With whatever I could search and find, I understand it can only be solved by rooting and changing back people app to contacts app or using 3rd party which obviously does not synch phone numbers and emails.
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
Yes. You are right. This option was removed since android 2.3 by Google. It is still available in Samsung and other android phones. On Nexus phones it's not available on stock ROM. You can use carbon etc custom roms and you will get the 3 options while logging into Facebook to sync contacts.

[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
bro i have posted this screenshot today can u see the time ? and i am using 4.2 carbon rom

i wrote and posted this method for you only you should try.
[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
You are running a custom ROM. That has given facebook sync permission. I read about it somewhere. Its editing the contact provider. There was a tutorial on XDA for that. Stock Roms don't allow it. Google doesn't like the fact that facebook syncs data and not let the user modify the synced data from phone.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
For stock rom rooted facebook sync :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2174435
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Google requires any sync service to store data locally on the device. Facebook does not adhere to this. Till 2.3 GB, Google had put an exception for facebook to allow

syncing despite it breaking rules. In later versions Google has removed this exception and also implemented new social API's for social apps to use.

Facebook isn't updating it's app to use these new API's.

Samsung and other OEM's put it the earlier exception for facebook while building android which is why it works on those phones.
[Nexus 4 General] simratcs:
do u guys also have rattling sound ?

when i place my phone down i have some noise (chan-chan) to be particular !
[Nexus 4 General] MPAI:
No. Whenever you root your phone your boot loader is unlocked, while doing this it wipes your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
There are ways around this.

What I did:

Root phone using motochopper(no need to unlock boot loader. Just connect and enable USB debugging)

To unlock boot loader without wipe easiest way is to download boot unlocker from play store. Phone should be rooted first. Then just click unlock and you are done! Locking it also just as easy.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
yes and when u take n4 in ur hand and bang it lightly on ur other hand or palm u will hear something in ur n4 like loose nut or something.

it comes near earphone and headphone jack.

i thought i had the faulty one,then i searched more and found it was normal ! phew !! :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
That's because your phone gets disconnected from 2g and then gets connected to 3g network. Nothing to Gerry worried.

[Nexus 4 General] king231:
How much time does it take to get connected again. For me network bars go empty for 3-4 seconds and then i see some bars on the network thing when I switch from 2g to 3g or vice versa.

[Nexus 4 General] king231:
I did face the problem but that was on places where the connectivity was real bad. Some times even if it got connected immediately it used to take a long time for the internet to get connected. So I would suggest you to confirm how are the 2g and 3g network strengths in that particular place. Try doing it in an open place where the signals are good.

On Airtel ... Friends having no problem.... but the strange thing is its happening since yesterday ... Will wait and see for a while... For changing radio the phone needs to be rooted?
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
Does it happen every time you do it?

[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
Just now applied gadgetshieldz both side protector after 20 days of RECEIVING it :silly: because i was too lazy to apply as i read it takes 30-40 min but LOLLL i took only 6 minutes to apply both sides and that too perfectly in 1 time without removing it again with no dust particle or any alignment problem. i have ordered 1 more guard but only front this time.

things which i took precautions is :

NOTE : u need 2 tissue papers to use in this process 1 to make the base where ur mobile will be kept and 2nd u will use it to soak extra water on ur device so that it doesn't go into speaker

1. switch off fan atleast 10 min before applying so that dust particles in ur room settles down.

2. as it is hot in india so i first chilled my room with ac set to 20 and when i was satisfied i switched off ac as well.

3. soaked completely the protector in plate full of water and mild shampoo. use any shampoo.

4. removed extra water and soap from protector by my fingers so that speaker and earphone dont get much water

5. i started alignment from top not from bottom so that i get perfect fit in 1st time.

6. DONT USE CREDIT CARD it will scratch ur screen guard. confused ??? thinking what to use ??? Guys use any visiting card which is hard enough but not hard like credit card because they have sharp edges. if u dont believe me take a credit card and swip it on ur wrist like u swipe in atm machines u feel it :silly:

Note: Always swipe left to right or right to left. never swipe top to bottom or bottom to top because with this u will throw extra water in ur speaker and earphone. so use my technique of left to right or right to left.

7. i switched it off only for 6 minutes and as soon as i applied both i switched it on and now also while typing this i am using my device.

8. After applying u will see bubbles dont worry and dont try to push them hard they will not settle down with ur pressure instead u will damage ur screenguard. wait for 1 or 2 days they will get away. but dont apply unnecessary pressure no use.

i hope i have shared my experience well and if someone needs help they can contact me.

NOTE : 1 more thing u get front camera protection also its a small circle cut but u will not be able to apply it because the circle is big and space is less after applying guard so no need to waste time in that. if ur guard is properly aligned then there will be no space to apply that tiny camera guard.

[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
It needs to be switched on with USB debugging enabled.

If its not responding it means your adb is out of date. Google for adb for android 4.2.2. I had the not responding problem as well. When I updated adb it worked!! Older adb doesn't work on 4.2.2.

Then when you try it you will get a prompt on your phone. Press yes and it works :)

I tried on JDQ39 and JDQ39E and it works fine! Did the process get completed?

Did the second screenshot appear first?? Have you tried to press install?

My previous GS2 has zero scratches on it even after plenty of rough use. LG really uses cheap material I think.

loll yeah I had drinks but less today so was in a state of applying it.

so after 12 hours leaving it on under fan. all bubbles have gone front and back. there is not a single tiny bubble now and device Is feeling normal to use. it's a gud screen guard so I am ordering 1 more now but only front. after 6 hours from now I will put it back In ringke.

Hey, why did u remove the stock screen guard ? I got the phone with guards on front & back side :D

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Gorilla glass is not scratch proof, it's more scratch resistant compared to normal glass. Anything that sits higher on mohs hardness scale can scratch it very easily, e.g sand.

It's not right to blame LG for it. If you have to blame someone then blame Corning. Corning manufactured the glass and not LG.
