I recently started over fresh with my rooted evo.
After installing my roms/apps,etc I noticed my contacts were not synced with facebook.
I tried maunally hitting the sync button still nothing.
I tried to delete my facebook profile, clear the cache and log back in. Still wont sync my contacts from facebook.
Anyone having these same issues?
I cant figure out how to fox this.
Apparently it's a server issue and has nothing to do with your rom. I flashed a few roms and back to stock and it still doesn't work. Someone at ppcgeeks called htc to find out the issue and that's what he was told
Diddo! The whole reason I'm searching this forum 2nite is for an answer to this.... please someone provide help... I used simple root to root then did the clockworkmod install....Idk I found a thread that said do simple root then this other 2nd step... as u can tell I'm a noob...I've tried flashing a few roms damage control and some other one nothing gets it sync'd doesn't even show contacts in the live Facebook folder..... tia

Nothing you can do for now. Wait for facebook or htc to fix it.
I don't see how this is an issue with fb or HTC since it was working prior to root. And my contact card is populated with my pic.... guess I will wait n see...

It's an issue because I have an unrooted evo and it was fine yesterday and I was playing around today and unsynced my facebook and now I haven't been able to get it to sync back all day.
So it's not just the roots
Well, I hope its an issue that can be resolved rather quickly on HTC's end.
Dont know how 1 day everything can be working, then the next we get nothing.
Its not like there was a recent update.

Not to bring back an old thread, but I don't want to start a new thread if the issue is already posted.
I have the same issue (however on the HTC Aria), my Aria is brand new and from the start it didn't work. I flashed the update from HTC's website, the one released September 14th, 2010. (version 1.25.502.12) And it still doesn't work. I recently rooted my phone and it still won't work. My contacts card is partially filled from facebook, just my birthday synced and the picture can be synced, the rest won't sync. I have a friend with a Aria as well and their's works fine however, except with a couple day delay on new friends appearing.
Has it been determined that the cause is either HTC or Facebook?

OK I flashed the 2.1 hero/eclair and didn't like it just yet so went back to the 1.5 hero build and I cant sync my facebook social network deal, twitter did fine but I hate twitter lol... i want my facebook... any one willing to see if they can log out and re-sign in... lol just kidding not gonna ask any one to do that cause I miss my integration, don't want you to miss yours... but if any one flashes a hero rom any time soon, and try to sign in and fails let me know, the error message reads as fallows.... The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again? also of course I tried re wiping everything again and again... thinking it's an htc or facebook deal...
This is a known issue. Get the latest facebook app, and sync using that. It should work fine for you.

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!!

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, and I just picked up my vibrant two days ago... my twitter sync works perfectly, but my facebok one unfortunately doesnt... none of my contacts pictures show up, and theres no sync to their account...
what i tried was downloading the facebook app and now when i click to view a contacts profile, it only takes me to mine, and the pictures STILL dont show up...
Does anyone have any advice they can please offer? I'm a major facebooker for business and the sync was one of the main selling points for me... am I doing something wrong or should I exchange my vibrant for a new one?
Thanks!!
It wouldn't be a problem with the device itself I think. My contacts do show their profile pictures and status updates but it hasn't been retrieving data for a couple days so I'm assuming It's just a server issue. Give it a couple days and see what turns up

Same here... it hasn't updated anything in days, so my dumbass deleted the account and added it again, but that only made it worse, cuz now it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" so I guess I can only wait now... I am not sure, but I think this happened after I did an update to the app, but I am not sure
Mine did this as well for a couple of days when I first got the phone. Then it just randomly synced one day, so from my understanding, it's on Facebook's end, not your phone.
Damn Facebook lol.

Hey all
I just had a strange problem with my Vibrant. Perhaps someone can help.
I don't know if this is the correct forum to put this in... if not, apologies and feel free to move it.
For the record I am running Vibrant9 on the phone, and everything has been running beautifully for a few weeks.
This morning, in fact, everything was running just fine. Then, all of a sudden, my phone lost all connectivity, both mobile networks and 3G. I rebooted the device, and the mobile network and 3G seemed to come back, but now it will not connect to my google accounts. I get messages saying either the account has changed, or the password is wrong for both accounts.
Web seems to be working over 3G, and I can make calls, but I cannot look up e-mail, and I get notifications saying my google accounts are failing to connect.
I'm not sure how to move forward with this, and I've never seen anything like it. I can log into my google accounts on my PC just fine, so the accounts and the passwords are OK... seems to be the phone.
I will keep looking, but has anyone seen anything like this before ? Anyone have this happen in the last 10 minutes ??
Any help appreciated.
Well I'm facing the same issue. Can't sync my mail, no apps can be.downloaded from market...its a issue.from Google.side I guess.

Until I can get 2.2 installed, I've given up on the existing gmail app that comes with 2.1. The gmail market app that is published recently is only 2.2 compatible. I've been using K9 for both gmail and my imap account and been far more pleased with it.

Really ? That's interesting. So google's mobile connections might be down ?
I can't find anything about that online... anyone else wanna weigh in ? Is this just a problem for every android handset ?
How frustrating.
Are you able to log into gmail on a computer? I had that same message the other day. Wasn't able to connect, my account had changed or password was wrong. Turned out, at 4 am there was spam sent from my gmail to 5 of my contacts. Gmail caught it and made me revise my password. After that, all is back to normal with market, gmail, etc...
Good thought, but I can actually log into gmail from my phones browser just fine with the same address and password.
Still have the same problem. Can log in to my mail using the other android email app. Just not the default app. Market broken, and anything needing that google account.
If others aren't having the problem, then it must be me, but I'm damned if I know what it is.
Might try restoring my nandroid backup.
Any other thoughts?

Hi I just started having the same problem as well. Computer based gmail is working fine, but I can't access my two accounts through the gmail appand my mobile network connection seems to be down.
Edit: mobile network is back, but my accounts still aren't connecting.
Ok I just resolved this problem. Guess how?
I restored the nandroid backup that I took yesterday. Working fine now.
And what has changed since I took this backup? Only that I installed the overclocking kernel released yesterday... Could it be that?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Ok strange new symptom.
My nandroid backup doesn't replace the kernel, so I'm still overclocked and still running the new kernel.
However, since restoring now my google accounts seem to work (market ok, voice ok etc.), I can receive email, but not send it.
This is really troubling. Anyone have any similar problems, or ideas?
EDIT : The kernel I flashed yesterday is "[KERNEL] [2.6.29] [Flashable-.zip] [BFQ] [Oc] [Uv] #1 "Finally" '9.8 Linpack!'", which as far as I can tell is the only difference since this started happening.

I was able to login after the firmware update from T-mobile....and so far it looks like its working....time will tell....
I use Touchdown and had email, calendar and contacts within minutes. It also syncs tasks. Try it for free in the market. Much better interface than stock. I've used it on my Epic, X and now MT4G with no problems.
I noticed today that it appears active sync is only not working for me while on wifi. Anyone else noticing this?
