Hey guys, today marks my 1 week anniversary with my vibrant, and everything is close to perfect except my facebook contact sync... It hasn't worked since day one... Does anyone have any advice? I've tried just about everything without success, do you think I should return it and try out another phone??

Are you using the Buddy widget thing or the facebook app?
What do you mean by buddy widget?
The Feeds and updates? Yeah, and it works perfectly...
My twitter sync works flawlessly too.
The FB calendar sync works perfectly, the app works, but the stock sync and the app sync dont work.
I've tried running each sync (through accounts and sunc, and through the fb app) and NOTHING!

ok, here is what you do
1)enter the phonebook/contacts
2)click the menu button
3)select add friends
4)select facebook and add all the friends whose number you want to be synced
The phone won't let me click on the facebook tab under that menu.... The only one that works its the twitter one... :-/ thanks for that tip, I had never tried it.. Still no luck any other thoughts?

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

You can download syncmypix (it's free). Wham, bam, thank you sir
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.

Yep, HTC has said to try doing one of the following:
1. Try adding a city and state to your current job in Facebook.
2. Try deleting your current company in Facebook.

Doesn't work either.
I just got mine to synch up. Might want to give it a try now and see if it works for you. I went about it a round about way but it is working and Friendstream is showing content from facebook again.

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.

Yea I found that today. It works pretty good.
Started working again about 5 mins ago. Finally.
Yea looks like they are getting it straightened out. Just noticed a little bit ago that my contacts were syncing with facebook again.

Yep, was in Messages and saw the facebook logo by the contact icons
yay
I cant seem to get my linked Facebook profile pictures to show up in my text messaging app (the stock one). Only 1 picture for 1 of my many contacts displays, never updates though.
M using syndicate rom, Andriod 2.1. Anyone else experience this problem before?
I remember seeing a post about this a couple of months back. I don't recall whether it was resolved or not, but you should try looking around the forums for it.
Download SyncMyPix
Settings-> accounts and sync-> delete both facebook acounts. Then add facebook account back on from the same screen. Then login to your facebook app. That's how I got mine to sync a few months ago.

+1 on that
I can confirm that this worked for me also when I was using Syndicate. For whatever reason, that Rom/version had 2 FB apps/syncs.
I could have sworn I did that once before without anything happening. Maybe twice was a charm. Thanks though
Is anybody having an issue with facebook closing unexpectedly?
I've had Trigger 2.7 for a few days now and facebook has not worked even though it synced with contacts, just won't open mobile app. Any ideas?

I'm having issues with my contacts FC when I try to sync facebook contacts to my contacts.
I didn't start until today when I flashed to Trigger 2.7.1. It worked fine on 2.7?
My only problem is my widget hasn't refreshed since march 3rd.

I just updated to JVB using ODIN. Then i rooted with latest cf root for JVB.
After that i tried to add Facebook account to my phone (Built in facebook account).
but it keeps on giving an error saying Login Failed. Samething happens when i try to add twitter account.
But with Facebook app for android i can login successfully...
anyone facing this issue????
Yes!
I have the SAME problem... Really bugging me...
Same with twitter as well
Sooo annoying... The facebook integration is one of the key features of the Galaxy S...
I'm still on XXJVK and have the same problem, think it may be a server problem rather than ROM
It's well documented on the net that Google removed facebook syncing with contacts with the 2.3.3 update on the nexus s. Might be related.
That would definitely suck.

Email cant add yahoo accounts either. This is not the case in jvk.
**Fixed**
Just install email.apk from jvk
Thanks for letting me know guys
.. Thought it was a problem with my installation..... Lets hope itll get fixed soon...
Coz i dunt think its a issue with 2.3.3 coz it worked fine in jvk...

Are u using the built in SNS accounts to add fb and twitter or are you using the fb and twitter apps downloaded from market?
because the problem is only with SNS account. FB Android app works flawlessly.

I think that because the service wont let you connect to the fb/twitter service... cos of that it cant get the new data. Whatever you restored from the backup will show up. Thats just what i think....

I found this problem on friday...
everybody surf by chrome firefox or ie to m.facebook.com
use the browser that you don't connect usually to facebook... and than try to connect to facebook...
they an problem on their servers...
than try to install on your SGS hacked browser and use desktop agent... now you will succeed to connect facebook
have a good week
i also flashed JVB and did a factory reset...
now installed facebook from marked and would set up my account.
It displays an empty EULA field with accept/decline button.
But on this moment the app hangs and crashes. I removed the app and installed the app again, but the same behavior.
EDIT: Ok, after a reboot of my fone the app works and I have no login problem!
Well I'm having the same problem as you guys, though I'm using a I9003 and just did a factory reset!
Seems to be like Samsung's server or facebook/twitter has some problem, especially with so many people logging in after updating...
I revert to JVK and got the same problem
i Guess Samsung has a problem with SNS server
especially that Facebook tell me tht you some one loged in from a samsung mobile device
Does turning off syncing under your Google account stop syncing from occurring completely? Or will it still sync when I run the application itself etc. Would like to turn auto syncing off yet still be able to sync.

You'll still be able to sync. Just turn auto sync off and for example, open the Gmail app. There's a refresh button at the top if you want to sync.

You'll also have to keep in mind that most email accts added to the native email app will be able to sync when you choose to, but an Exchange server acct might not be happy.
