According to HTC in order to fix this problem you must do the following:
Go to Facebook.com
from your personal info you must delete your High School information. then add a city to your employer.
that worked for me and hope it works for you...
I'll try it right now, kinda weird fix though don't you think?
Holy ISH it works!!
This will not work for users that can login and can not see facebook contacts or link them.

HOLY **** it WORKS!!!!!
Lmao, it DOES work! I went into contacts and online directories had to refresh like 5 times before it synchronized my friends. After complete sync, I added my high school info. All seems to be ok. Crazy fix!
How weird is that... It worked!
Still doesn't fix the whole "no friends" situation

Try removing you fb acct from accts sync. Delete you high school and add the city to you employment. Then add fb back to accts sync and refresh a few times under contacts and online directories.

That too, almost forgot I did that step as well.
Yep. Deleted both things. My high school info is gone (left college), and my jobs have cities... re added it to sync and have been refreshing under onlien directories...it's a no go.
Nevermind... it looks like it worked out of no where after I just plain removed all of my school and work info.
And now it's getting connection error everytime again... ugh. I give up.
It worked for about 5 minutes and then FAILED!
Sort of retarded that you have to tweak this and twist that, just to get the account to sync correctly.
This worked, but I litterally had to hit sync about 100 times to get it to go.

I'm running a custom ROM but it's a stock ROM, with Darchstars GodMode overclocked kernel. Also, I'm using Launcher Pro and not Sense. My problem is that for some reason, my Facebook contacts will not sync... I'm using the stock method for syncing contacts (Account and Sync; Facebook for HTC Sense)
Thanks

Go to Facebook->Application Settings and remove HTC Sense. Then delete the Facebook sync from settings and add it again. This might fix it but I'm still waiting for it to sync.
Nevermind, didn't work.
It is working for other androids. It seems to only be a problem with 2.0+ syncing.
When I first got my phone (Vibrant) on 7/15 it worked fine then it didnt give me updates so i tried removing then re-adding facebook to accounts and sync and it no longer works, even tried doing a factory reset. Still nothing. So it went from working fine, to not working for some reason.

If you re-added your account or did a first sync after it stopped working, it won't work. If it was already working before it should still work.
I take it it's still broken. I just installed Fresh Rom, and it still will not sync my contacts.

How did you get it to work? It isn't working for me.
I guess I am not as lucky
You know this is pretty sad but I can't seem to figure out how exactly I did it. I went into a contact under People and was messing with the picture somehow and it gave an option for facebook. Signed in from there. Since I did it there I have been able to remove my facebook account from accounts and sync and then add it from there.
Edit:
It's working for live updates but doesn't seem to work for synching contacts though. My list of Facebook contacts is blank when I try to link an existing contact with a Facebook contact.
You can use syncmypix from the market. I'm using it as a temporary workaround.

My stock calender keeps showing the forecast like its a appointment.. I even did a hard reset and it still shows up.. I have installed smooth calender for my home screen so I can remember my appointments.. but the weather is there and its maing me forget about the actual appointments that I do have. Is there something that I'm syncing that's doing it that I don't know about.. I have gmail account synced and facebook.. but with facebook I don't do the calender because I don't use it.. I really don't use gmail calender either.. could it be gmail that's doing it and if so how do I stop it??

Try to login into your Google account, go to the calendar and on the left side in the Other Calendars click settings.

Anyway to remove the blur "account" page. I see that if I change sims it forces me to login to the existing blur account. What if I want to completely de-blur the phone? Is that possible? Or not because motorola says so?
Not possible. No way to replace with stock accounts.
I am having many problems with these built in accounts. I was having problems with YouTube until I realized that I needed to login with the actual YouTube credentials and not the gmail ones.
I am now having similar problems with picasa, but as I am new to picasa, I don't know what my other logins would be other than my gmail ones. Basically every time I try to upload multiple photos from the gallery folder on the phone, it returns a message that says "failed to receive login information".

Ok more info on picasa. When I "quick upload" a single photo from the gallery they will go to picasa. Its only when I multi select photots and try to upload that it won't take. It still says "unable to retrieve user info" or something. Another note is that when the upload to picasa screen comes up, its not pulling my albums down from the picasa site, so I can tell right away that something isn't communicating the info.

Try installing Gallery 3D from the market. It's the stock gallery app. Much better.
Figured it all out. I HOPE many people end up finding this thread. I went through a lot to figure this out. The following fix will work for both Picasa and YouTube problems where the error pops up saying that login info could not be retrieved. The problem is that you can not use the same email address for motoblur as you do the rest of the logins. You MUST set your motoblur to another email address when setting the phone up, preferably a non-gmail address. Unfortuantely for those of us who already setup the phone, the only way to change the motoblur email address is to wipe the phone and set everything up again.
I can confirm that this is 100% working. Now... If you don't want to setup the phone from scratch I can show you work arounds.
For YouTube, if you go into the YouTube app, hit menu, go to "my channel" (make sure the phone is not in landscape when you do this) then look at the top right and click logout. Then log back in, instead of putting your gmail address you can enter your YouTube user name and password. This will allow you to upload videos directly from the UI and gallery to YouTube.
A work around for Picasa is to set Picasa as the option in the "quick upload" menu in Gallery. If you go to gallery and click menu, then settings, you can set Picasa as quick upload there. Then whenever you are looking at a photo you can click menu and select quick upload, it will then upload straight to Picasa. The only problem is that you can not select multiple pictures and upload at once to Picasa. You have to do the real fix mentioned above to send multiple pictures to Picasa at once.
I reccommend you all do the real fix while the phone is still new and not that hard to wipe and start over.
Apparently it is possible, NO IDEA how i did it though D:
now when i take sim cards out it doesn't ask for motoblur account. Some reason I also lost all my contacts, don't know if it was because I lost my motoblur account or if it was a coincidence?

Hmm I'm not sure that this is a good thing lol. Try your best to re add the motoblur account, preferably under a different email address. If it works, this will be the best fix.

clicking "add account" just gives me the option to link fb, myspace, twitter, etc. with motoblur, no option to add a motoblur account. And i didnt really lose EVERYTHING, just my contacts, I can just put them back in manually, its coo.

If you freeze items through TiBU this happens. You can remove the need for MotoBlur that way. But to go non-root there is no way to remove MotoBlur.
Also, I have no issues and I have MotoBlur on same email as everything else.

When I go to Contacts>Menu>More>Manage Accounts> and click my facebook account, it has the login and says "remove account" then at the bottom it says OK and Cancel. OK brings me back. When I click on the google, it lets me sync.

Open your facebook app and go menu-settings and at the bottom should be sync contacts.

Strange, isn't it? I got mine to work by changing m.hotmail.com to bay-hotmail.com (copied from my ICS HTC Desire), but when I suggested this on the Revolver forum, it didn't work for others. I thought I'd mention it here in case it is relevant for somebody. By the way, debug also works for me.
Saved my sanity
Thanks, I thought I was cracking up. I always used the hotmail feed in the main mail app since it is just one place to look. I tried resetting the account etc, all to no avail. I ended up using the Hotmail app from playstore.
I will try both addresses and see what happens.
Had a similar problem on my wife's TF...could not get it to work trying all options...ultimately downloaded tbe MS+Seven Hotmail app. Works good and she now has the same app on her Galaxy Ace phone...Life is back to normal...
Has anyone recently had issues on their transformer with Hotmail again? I had last year and the fix was using "Debug-", but I am now having issues again. I dont seem to see any new threads on this.
Update:
So I changed to a POP3 account instead of the EXCHANGE and it seems to be working. Not sure what is up with that. With POP3 I dont get my folders, so I would like if I can get this resolved.
Cheers

Try IMAP instead of POP if hotmail support it (I don't use it), you should get your "folders" back.
