    Anyone who has got the Galaxy Nexus (or anything with 4.0), how the f*ck do you sync facebook contacts? When I select the add facebook account it does nothing and just goes back to the sync screen. It's driving me mad now!

    Not sure I'm happy with this as a whole; I thought I was holding the phone awkwardly and hitting the volume keys because a number of times the volume has dropped off on me (even though I couldn't see how I would have been doing it), now I'm after stumbling on a thread in the android forums where other people have had the same issue... It's only happed about 4 times but I only got the phone this morning!!! Actually, I'm not happy :mad:

    Something about sandwiches


    Don't hold your breath on the Facebook app getting an update. Its possible it may well get one soon, but from my experience writing other apps that link with it, there's been problems with it that are over a year old and still havent been fixed! Mainly problems due to not implementing Android functionality properly.

    I've been able to verify what some people in forums are saying in that if I put another mobile next to it and make a call (to any number) from that mobile it drives the thing mad. They say they've developed a fix so I'm going to give them about week or two before I return it.
