They were syncing fine before I did a factory reset, now they just say 'sync is temporarily down, it will be back up shortly'.
I've rebooted, tried deleting and recreating the accounts, neither worked.
Any ideas why this is happening after a factory reset?

Honestly it just takes some time. A lot of people had this error, including me. If you wait a day or two it usually just fixes itself. That is what happened with me. And even now sometimes when Facebook syncs, it gives me that error, but usually tries again in a couple of hours and decides to work.
Once it can connect to the server though, you may find that it doesn't grab your contacts. If this happens, go to the main contacts page and hit Menu>Get Friends. You should be able to select the account and manually add people. If the account is listed but grayed out, it means that it hasn't yet been able to even connect to the server.
Well, its been more than 24 hrs, but I'll wait another day or two. :-\

Mine started syncing again, but I did have to use the 'get friends' to pull my contacts into my address book.

I had this issue on the first day. It initially got my Facebook friends then seemed to lose them somewhere and wouldn't get them again. I actually deleted my Facebook profile and put the info in again and it worked. Redoing the facebook settings takes all of 30 seconds so it seems to be the quickest fix.
Try this fix I got somewhere else. It worked for me after a few tries.
1. Remove your Facebook account on your phone.
2. Go to the Facebook webpage and go to your Application Settings.
3. Remove "Samsung Mobile."
4. Wait a few minutes and add your Facebook account again.
Something else I tried, which may or may not have helped was turning on the auto sync when adding the Facebook account.

I usually carry three Gmail accounts with me in my pocket at all times. I've had no issue adding the first one on the MT4G but the second and third gave me problems. They confirmed and synced in the Accounts menu, but.wouldn't appear in the main Accounts list afterwards. I had to add each several times before they appeared. This happens after OTA as well.
Does anyone else see this? Thanks.

Cannot reproduce the problem. I have two gmail accounts and one exchange account and they all appear immediately. of course the syncing needs some time.
You could sync one and the use the Email app instead of Gmail.
I think the Gmail app is very superior to the email app so I'd rather stick with the big G if I can. I was able to get it to work but not after a few tries. Dunno why that was the case, but I guess the bottom line is it's on there?
I'm really liking this phone!
I had the same problem. I was connected to Wifi. I shut off the Wifi radio and reinstalled the gmail account with no problem. I hope that helps.
A most peculiar thing has happened regarding my Contacts. At 7:54 a.m. on 12/9/2010, last Thursday morning, my Epic does not want to sync with my GMail contacts properly. When I change or add contacts on GMail from my computer, sometimes new or edited Contacts show up on my Epic, sometimes they do not. Regardless, on my Epic the sync screen indicates that 12/9/2010 at 7:54 a.m. was the last sync, it does not update. My calendar and GMail sync fine, but Contacts does not want to leave last Thursday morning! Has anyone else had this odd occurrence, and any suggestions on what to do? I wanted to insert a screen shot of my Epic to show you precisely what I am seeing, however this forum will not allow me to insert an image apparently because I have not been posting, only reading and learning.
Thanks.
try turning off auto sync,then remove the google account,then re-add the google account,you might need to reboot to clear the cache first

Thanks, but...
If I try to delete the GMail account I get a dialogue box that states "this account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy." What now?
It will not reset your phone,only break the market until you reboot and readd account.

No matter how many times I add my facebook to my fascinate on DL30, the contacts never load, nor do photos sync with contacts. Anyone have any luck?

Working 100% here. Factory/data reset before flashing and wiped dalvik cache before flashing, I assume?
Have more than 500 friends?
Some sync programs have a hard time with >500. Maybe sns does? Hmm.
Wipe data, dalvik, and try again mb?

I can attests to facebook not liking high latency, I travel and I am living in a 1x area and my SNS wont sync, but when I get in a 3g area it will.
Also try
Contacts > Menu > More > Display Options > Facebook account > check All Contacts
I used to have and HTC and it displays them automatically, with Samsung you have to tell it to, for the longest time I was wondering where my FB contacts were until I found that menu option
SNS has been less than reliable the few times I have actually used it, even on Eclair.

Also, I wouldn't be sweating this for like 24 hours.
I've had both sns and facebook for htc sense take at least over night to do its thing.
The watched pot never boils.
Calls and texts interrupt the sync if it's not on wifi anyway.
They don't follow the rules of every other network activity using the standard TCP stack. If it gets interrupted, it just quits

Having this problem too. It works on some Roms, not on others. There's not a twitter at all either. On Clean .6 dl30, btw.
Same problem for me. The Calender syncs, but not Contacts.
I've been having the same issue with Myspace and Twitter syncing using the SNS sync. I don't think it's directly related to the DL30 leak since I flashed back to DL09 a few times to make sure it wasn't related to Froyo. I think it just hates certain people for a few days at a time.
I only have FB photos sync'd, but it appears to be workin fine for me.
This was my first time rooting/rom and it has not bugs/issues yet.
I did follow the directions in the 'how to' thread exactly and started from a stock DL09.
Okay I did a full factory data reset (settings, privacy, factory data reset ) and now it works fine for facebook contacts, but now my long press search button does not bring up voice search.

Issue with contacts
Has anyone else had the back button stop working when in contacts?
It worked fine when I first got done with the update, then sometime after sync of facebook it stopped working. Not sure if that was the cause but something made it stop.
Install the official facebook app. Froyo supports push notifications which are handled by the app now.
So this morning, everything was fine, all contacts were there.
I charged my phone and an hour later, picked it up, a few contacts were missing (like my dad and home and such).
Synced it and still nothing?
I went into my gmail and all the contacts are still there, but not showing up on my phone
I've had that problem... Go to accounts and async and make sure google is there. My google account had erased itself, just ran htc setup and re entered google info

Had the same problem - rebooted phone - contacts came back.
Google was still in Account & Sync
I had to manually add it for now =\
I thought something similar had happened to me, but what had happened is another account synced with that contact and arranged it "last name,first name" and so it was in a completely different spot than usual.

Starting last night Gmail does not push any email to my phone. Any ideas what happened? Could I have stopped a process that it needs(not Gmail app)?
Did you check your settings? Not trying to be am a$$. Only reason I ask is cause Ive run the root process twice on my Note 3 so far. First time everything was fine. Second time I had to sign in tp google twice, and sync for gmail and other sync options weren't checked

I had this issue. I turned on WiFi and it started to push my emails. I turned it off and it seemed to work fine.
I tried it but it did not seem to work although I was not connected only had WiFi on.
I had this happen too. I had to go into gmail settings, and then click on my email addy. On this page go to the "manage labels" button and make sure your boxes are set to sync and notify. I use like 5 different inboxes so I had to enable sync for each one. It took me forever to find this and I was going insane trying everything to enable sync. I still have no idea what causes this activity.
I've had this happen on galaxy devices. I usually go to Gmail and clear and restore defaults then that usually fixes it. If not then go to accounts and sync and disable sync then re-enable it. One of those should work

I saw that the notify flag was off so I turned it on. I will see if that fixs the problem.
