Can not add Facebook Account - so far after only a few hrs looks like Nexus is a flop

[mispk2]

I go to Accounts Sync - Add new account - Facebook is on list - I select Facebook and absolutely nothing... no message no account added..

I only activated this phone last night and so far list of problems is getting longer....

Can't sync Facebook with contacts, sound is practically non existent... does it actually have sound?

its the facebook app. not your nexus.

I had the same issue. I had to add the account through the facebook app, even though gmail and linkedin could be added through Accounts Sync.

When I first got my Galaxy Nexus, I couldn't do anything with facebook at all, I had to download facebook from the app market. Now it lets me sync facebook. In the contacts section, there isn't any syncing via facebook. It's heavily biased toward Google +. I have to download Hax Sync to get contact info from facebook to show up in my contact list I have 180 friends on facebook and 44 on G+. I've read that the next software update will have better contact's syncing. I'm a little surprised that such a feature packed phone would basically shut facebook out. I wasn't aware of that when I bought the phone, had I know I probably would've opted for the Razr.

The Facebook contact sync was removed by Google because the API wasn't playing nice.

HTC and Motorola and the other OEM can re-enable the feature in their devices.
