I love trying new Rom's. The only problem that I have is syncing facebook to my contacts most of the time its not working and when I do get it to work I don't want to change anything. then it just stops working. Is there anyone working on a fix for this cause I have talked to both HTC and Facebook guys and there blaming each other. There are some smart people in this forum. I would think that someone would come up with a workaround
have you tried this (posted in xtrSENSE thread by xtr):
Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.
so, using a sense-based ROM, i'd imagine that you'd want the HTC Sense setting on (in FB). if using non-sense based, follow the above.
hope it helps!
I believe the facebook syncing has gotten MORE reliable with the July OTA update.
Try Evil Eris 4.0 when it comes out or Plain Jane v2 or Ivan's Eris_Official 1.1 when it comes out.
I leave always-on mobile on, and never have trouble with Facebook syncing. It never works right away, but does eventually. Sometimes if I open the people app, click the little recycling looking circle, and hit menu > refresh, the facebook syncing happens faster.
If you watch the Android SDK, you can watch it happening when it's happening. There's lots of data for it to download.

Is there anyway to incorporate July OTA update into the current roms now like an update that I can flash I have search the forum and google with no luck
I am running the new xtrSense 3.1 with the July update in it.
I too can not get FB to sync with my contacts. I can not get one single FB friend to appear on my phone.
I have also tried the FB settings as suggested but no such luck.
Kinda blows.
I have not been able get htcfacebook to setup on any htc rom i try since late friday... i posted a thread in general on it that has a little info. I am not aware of anything we can do until htc and facebook fix it...

My wife's Eris allows for FB Sync with her contacts. I am looking at it right now, now issue at all.
I have no idea what ROM she is on, Sense based. In software info it doesn't say what it is. I think it might be the Leak4BaseROM, it only allows OC to 710.

From my testing and research, the issue seems to only effect when you first setup the account so if you were connected BEFORE the issue, continuing operations seem to mostly work... not sure if this others experience though.

Follow what tenzomonk posted. This is what I did about a month ago to get mine to sync. I was getting the com.htc.bg error and facebook would not sync.
Go to facebook online and sign in. Go to your applications and delete 'Facebook for Android'. Then go to settings> Accounts & Sync on your phone and remove 'Facebook for HTC Sense. Now restart your phone and go back into Accounts & Sync and add 'Facebook for HTC Sense' again. This should solve the issue with com.htc.bg and your facebook account should now sync properly! Also, if you want your facebook contacts added to your google contacts, open contacts/people and then hit the menu button, then view, and then check facebook. This will add them to your google contacts.
Hope this helps.

What you all are seeing is the previously sync'd pictures from prior to the hose.
Go to the updates page and look at how many days ago the status update was.
It wasn't today. It'll probably say 5 or 6 days ago.
I search market for
Syncmypix
when I have an AOSP ROM or if I dont' want HTC Sync set up (due to having a snooping girlfriend).
Sets up your pictures.
No little 'F' in the corner.
Good luck
Really, this facebook issue has 0 to do with your ROM. It is all HTC/Facebook. If I restore a NAND from Wednesday, it *appears* to work ok, but as someone else mentioned, the data is 5 or 6 days old. Try adding a friend on facebook and they won't show up.
I flashed the *exact* same ROM again yesterday and they won't sync at all. HTC and Facebook both know about it, but it just went down overnight Thursday. They only had Friday to work on it, as I doubt either company wants to pay a bunch of devs OT to work on it over the weekend.

Thanks, pkopalek, for the tip on syncmypix. Works great. I don't know if I had problems before rooting yesterday, but haven't been able to get facebook sync to work since then. I was getting frustrated waiting for HTC and facebook to fix this. Now I don't have to wait.
Just an update. It looks like HTC is looking at it.

You're doing nothing wrong. The issue was with the servers on HTC & Facebook's end. Nothing to do with your phone in particular. The issue was a global one.
The issue appears now to be rectified as I am seeing reports everywhere that people are now able to sync and I, myself, noticed all my facebook contacts & status' were sync'd this morning.
It's fixed!!

Hi,
Recently, my GMAIL stopped auto-receiving mail and will not update until I manually sync it.
It was working fine until yesterday evening.
Any idea how to fix this?

Did you change any settings? I know it doesn't sync as fast anymore when one has the "undo" function enabled, found under gmail settings. GL
I was having the same issue and addidng to that was that I was not receiving all the email. It showed that there were new emails but those were not always appering. Fixed it by wiping data with Titanium.

To my knowledge, I didn't change any settings. Looking at the feedback in the market, I noticed that some of the other more recent comments show the same issue.
I think it was Gmail, not your phone. I had the same problem today. Then I got a bunch of emails all at once.
I'm having the same issue today as well. Probably a server issue.
+1 here, very annoying!
looks like this is a google server issue and they are looking into it:

Hey all,
I searched around here and didn't find anything. But is anyone else having issues with the calendar widget? I can't get any of the events to show even by setting visible and sync. I'm using cm6.1.1
On my aria
Or if there is a better widget that works too.
Thanks!

(side note: just want to say how awesome this forum is and how good the devs are! )

Which calendar are you syncing with? Google or something else? CM does not work with HTC sync so you will need something else to sync to Outlook. In the 30 minutes I had CM on my Aria last week I could not get it to log into my Google account either.
To get it to sync with google you have to flash the separate gapps. And yes i do have that installed with all the correct settings for sync. It apparently only shows the next one event(Which i wasn't used to coming from sense lol) That's why i was asking if there is anything comparable.
Other than that the cm mods are great!
Anyway to fix this? I need my email real time for work and have to manually refresh to get new email.

If you are using Gmail 2.3.5, check out the feedback ratings on the market. A LOT of people are complaining about that issue, as well as the fact that the update disabled the functionality of third-party widgets.
If you're not using 2.3.5, for the love of God turn off automatic updating and don't install the newest version...
Hey guys, need some help. I'm using the Apex Launcher on my Nexus 7 and it seems like I can't get my notifications to work. I use Juice Defender which disables my internet on standby mode but even after I open my Nexus some apps don't refresh automatically and I don't get the notifications (i.e. Facebook, Gmail), which is slightly annoying and I can't seem to find a fix.
Anyone there nice enough to lend me a hand? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Did it ever work before and it just stopped working or did it never work? Is sync enabled?

It seemed to stop working after I got Apex Launcher, also my Gmail Calendar doesn't update also when I click refresh, really weird. Where's the Enable Sync button? :\
Settings, Accounts, and then each account has its own sync settings that you can change.
