I don't know about other people on the forum, but the one thing (and I do mean one) that I hate about the fascinate is the horrible facebook syncing that it has. By default, you seem to have to manually set up each individual person for facebook sync by 'linking' the profiles. I hate it, and I miss the D1 where it automatically did everything for you. That's the one thing I miss (minus FroYo).
My question, and I'm going to experiment tonight, is if you replace system files with D1 apk's, can it work since most android applications do not seem to be resolution dependant (coded with %'s instead of 400px's, for example if that makes sense)?
Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm currently running a deodexed heavily modified AOSP Magic 0.2 rom of my own creation, but essentially the AOSP Magic rom.

The only one I had to manually sync was "Mom" to her real name.

I have never had it sync automatically. I have always either had 'Facebook Sync Error' or it says it's doing it any never does.
Also, just an update. No. It doesn't work. I don't have any way to get to contacts now, even though I switched back to the original files...Fantastic. LOL
EDIT: Does anyone have the ContactsProvider.apk? Deleted it and have no backup now haha
OP, I'm assuming you're talking about DI01?
Heres a deodexed version from D101
Mine syncs thm automatically if I click the get friends option and go select everyone in my phone book. I also hate that I have to do this. Stock android and htc sense handled this WAY better.
You have to be patient with the syncing with Facebook on this phone.
I too noticed my Facebook wasn't sync'ing, so this is what I did.
Delete the Facebook App
Erase the Stock Facebook Syncing
Re-download and install Facebook App and sign in.
Go back into Accounts & Sync and use the stock Facebook Icon (It's darker and more round)
Fill out your information, hit sync, set it and forget it. Just let it sit and think and do its thing forever, the screen will more than likely timeout, but thats ok, go make a sandwich, then come back and check it.
I've done this twice now and it's sync'd up. You might have to manually fix some contacts, but that's probably always the case.
It does mess up every once in awhile and can't re-sync, just go back into accounts and sync, uncheck the boxes, recheck them and let it sit again.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but what do you mean delete the stock Facebook sync? The 'AccountAndSyncSettings.apk' in /system/app?
Yeah, I'm also confused. After installing the Facebook for Android app, I see the alternative facebook account in Accounts & Sync but no matter how many times I tap on it, I cannot select it.
heres why..
the contacts that you have on your
phone might have diffrent names than
your contacts on facebook.
what you do is have your contacts
name exactly how it is on facebook
same spelling etc..
then it should automatically sync
on your phone.
i never had a problem with
syncing my contacts/facebook
Dan, were you able to get the Droid's contacts apk working?
What about adding the Facebook App's account instead of the built in one? I still cannot get that to work. If I remove the facebook app, it also disappears. I install the facebook app, go to accounts & sync, click the lower facebook account, and it takes me to the facebook app's login, but gives me no option to sync pictures to my contacts as it would on the original Droid.
In the interim, I've discovered SyncMyPix which will pull facebook pics for your google contacts and attach them. It also will sync the pics to your google account so in gmail, you'll see their facebook picture. SyncMyPix can be set to update daily, weekly, or monthly to keep the pictures up to date. It's not as good as the Droid's version, but it works for now.

Ever since I've rooted and have flashed new custom Roms onto my Hero. A couple things have happened. The phone works fine, runs great expect for "My facebook" account not syncing with my phone. It did when i had the stock rom on it. I've tried different roms, but I'll I get is these two errors when I try and sync my contacts. My picture shows up at the top of my phone book, but no one elses gets linked.
Then I read in some forums to try other facebook accounts. So I tried my friends and her sync right up and started to download contacts pictures.....what is the deal?
How can the phone possible know the difference between facebook accounts.
any help?
The only problem I ever had was with facebook not syncing up correctly and it only happened once. I just went into the phone settings and deleted the account and readded it.
You might want to also try going into facebook from a webpage and clicking on Account -> Application Settings
Select Authorized from the drop down and then delete anything that says Facebook for Android or HTC Sense.
You may have multiple listings or the permissions might have gotten messed up. Deleting them will force the permissions to be re-established.

can you clarify in more detail on these steps? i went to facebook on the web and couldn't find those settings. i wish to complete this with successful results! mind being a bit more detailed? thx in advance
On the right hand side on facebook you will see ACCOUNT
Click on Account and select APPLICATION SETTINGS
Then on the application settings page there will be a drop down box with the title Show: select AUTHORIZED
Then you will have a page with your authorized applications. They are organized by category so you might have to click on the category to expand that section.
In the APPLICATIONS ON FACEBOOK category there will be FACEBOOK FOR ANDROID.
You might have several listings for Facebook for Android. On the far right of the row it is on there is an X.
Click on the x and click REMOVE on the popup.
Do this for every listing of Facebook For Android
Next go to the category DESKTOP APPLICATION.
You will see an entry or entries for HTC SENSE
On the far right of the row HTC Sense is on will be an X
Click on the X and select REMOVE on the popup.
Do this for every listing of HTC Sense
Then go into your phone and re-setup the accounts.
I had this error. My problem was that I had too many friends and caused it to crash while loading. I had 3,000+. I think it started to act up around 2,000
Also, if you have trouble with anything listed so far try this.
Run Logcat and sync manually in Accounts and Sync.
Watch logcat for com.htc.bg died.
If you are using a rom with the internal task killing mod (autokiller and dconfig also) set the task killer back to stock and then sync.
I've noticed this in the past that the taskkiller when set above normal will kill com.htc.bg while you're syncing. AFAIK, there is no way to change the process' "importance" or make the taskkiller ignore this prosses, but this is a verified work-around.

i think this was my problem as well. on other forums others were saying they had 300 friends only and their contacts synced up nicely. me on the other hand have 2000+ friends and about five min in that's when that damn com.htc.bg comes up and i have to force close it.
well I went into my facebook account settings, found what you where talking about. There was multiplies of the htc sense and other. So i removed my account from my phone, deleted the applications on my facebook. Logged out of facebook, removed it from my phone. Re tried....no luck.
So I went back to my facebook account. Deleted the htc sense. wiped my phone, flashed a fresh rom. skipped the set up. Synced my contacts. and then tried to sync with htc sense. No luck. plugged in my friends facebook account, synced right up within seconds....
whats the deal?

I've come to the conclusion it has to be something to deal with my facebook account. The only thing "facebook sync sense" syncs with is my (name, birthday and profile pic) nothing else. But if remove my account and replace it with my friends it sync perfectly fine. Any ideas?
oh yeah it synced perfectly fine with my account back when I had the phone stock with android 1.5
found the problem. If your facebook account has a symbol in it, like mine is Irish and has a " ' " take it out save facebook. Then uninstall from phone, re sync to phone. Works. how stupid.
VERY ANNOYING
I Have to FORCE close on on those 2 constantly. there has to be a reason for it
SOMEONE SOLVE THIS...
my fb has no symbols, i can open then close fb without them starting. its totally random when they come on
It's very strange, from what I gather is that the errors appear when facebook sync is unable to sync because of it not being correctly connected with your account.
Since I've deleted the ' in my last name on my facebook account and re-added facebook sense to my phone, it synced up and downloaded all 370 contacts to my phone within a couple minutes. I've also had zero errors, etc...

The problem I'm having is the com.htc.bg process stays open when sycning calendar. This causes obex service to constantly run and keeps the phone from sleeping. I have yet to find a fix for this besides killing the obex process manually.
Any thoughts? First time using the device, facebook synced just fine. Since then Ive done a software wipe and now I cant get FB to sync my contacts anymore. It just keeps saying "Sync isnt available at this time"

Day two, still wont sync. I have facebook enabled in contacts, it just shows a group with 0 people in it. It syncs my calendar just fine, but wont sync contacts for some reason.
The strangest part is that it used to, but after I reformatted it wouldnt.
Ive tried; Deleting and re-adding FB account at least a dozen times, and Menu -> sync/cancel/sync/cancel brute force approach that worked with other phones.
my facebook widget stopped auto updating even though its set for like every 2 hours the last posts i see are from this morning.
in fact if i click the manual green sync arrows it attempts to sync but nothing happens.
i already have done a battery pull today.
My facebook and twitter contacts both won't sync. And I have two sets of twitter contacts, one from the widget and one from the twitter app.

Got that too, but mine sync at least... sort of. I had to manually link contacts that were first linked automatically when I first set up my phone.
Same problem wont sync. Checked of and everything
I'm having the same issue, i'm curious all of you who are having problems did you experience them after the root?
My contacts synced fine when I first got the phone but have since stopped syncing (if I check under accounts and sync in setting I see an error) This issue existed for me both before and after root.
Synced fine before I rooted but tbh the phone was unrooted for about 10 minutes after initial setup. The second I got home I rooted and wiped.

guys. read the message on your phone. it says "sync is down right now temporarily" when you try to sync and look at specific status. I'm guessing this is more a samsung or android thing than "your specific phone".
Right beneath manage accounts it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Notice the sync icon with the red exclamation mark next to it
I have not rooted yet, and I'm still having sync issues.
I really think they rushed getting the phone out to compete with the droid x, moving the release date up a week. Hopefully this issue, the gps/compass, and 3g get addressed in a OTA update soon. I saw the droid x was already scheduled to have one.

I had the same problem. It just starting working now. I did not do anything. they must have fixxed something.
Having this issue as well. The weird thing is that when i add Facebook to the accounts list in settings, it updates the feeds widget with facebook statuses, and they are also listed in the contacts app, that last menu that gives you the various social feeds. However it cannot sync the actual contacts, must have tried 15 times today.
I was reading on another forum that someone found a solution that seemed to be working for people, but only if you were able to get it synced before and in some way either removed the account or the contacts and cannot resync. This didn't work for me as I didn't fall under that category, but I hope this can help someone.
1. Turn on background sync in settings.
2. Go into the main contacts window, and instead of hitting accounts to check the sync or whatever, hit menu at the main screen and choose "Find Friends"
3. Tap on Facebook. If you were able to sync before, it should work. If you are like me and was never able to sync, the box will be greyed out.

I had same issue with contacts sync with facebook images. But i found a work around. When you add facebook accounts and sync. Enable fackbook contacts and facebook contact images. Now it will dump all your facebook contacts to your phone, but it will categorize it. once you do that, it will link your say "gmail contact" and "facebook" contacts together, On the contacts that you have different nicknames, you can click on the contact and select linked contact, select facebook and choose your friends contact info and now my images matches. Looks better now. Hope i only have to do this once.
Good Luck and this is my first post.

the fist time i synced my facebook when taking my vibrant out of the box it worked fine, but i did a factory reset on my phone and now when i sync my facebook it only imports 192 people, (the same people everytime) i have around 600 contacts on fb and i dont know why it is doing this. i have tried everything in the world to get them to sync, i have removed samsung from facebook, did a hard reset and still the same 192 contacts. i have clicked the select contacts i wont to sync and it still gives me only the 192. someone please help before i throw my phone in the furnace at work. thanks alot in advance
Which facebook are u using ? Built-in or app from market ?
I noticed that they don't work together. I have enabled sync in built-in and disabled in app. Also there was a recent update to new version of facebook 1.3.1, maybe that fixed something......

Same here. It's really pissing me off!
dang it.. i just did a factory reset as well and its not able to pull all my fb contacts. I'm using the app and the newest out that was just released. will report back if I figure it out
Mine doesn't sync neither. But you can manually set your contacts to your facebook contacts. click on contact> Media> Link contact> Get friends then you can scroll to whoever you want to sync
Mine is fine, I did a factory reset also. Did you guys go to "Accounts and sync" and added your facebook account there?
The fix for this I'd that you have to delete the samsung application from the main facebook (under setting I believe) and twitter using your computer.
Just wait I few minutes and sync from your phone...that worked for me.

no. It's probably Samsung's hacked-together TouchWiz that's causing the fail.
Could it be that you have your contacts app set to show only contacts with phone numbers? Try disabling that option and see if you have all of your FB contacts.
figured it out!
This was frustrating me too! But i figured it out:
Ok from contacts you press menu, then press the "get friends" button. Add your facebook account, or if it's already there select it. Now you can choose which individual facebook contacts you would like to add, or you can choose "select all"!
So just picked up my atrix from costoc, coming from a BB 8310 and I'm already fully overwhelmed by this phone.

Basically need a place to start. So far I've looked at google maps and snapped a few pictures, plugged in the HDMI to see the pics on my TV, and linked my google account....so now what haha
LOL well the first thing I always do is find a good launcher; there are a lot of them outbthat, in my opiniojn, ar3all better and offer more customizability than the moto launcher.
After that, I set up my calendar so it syncs to my phone as well.
Twitter, Facebook, and a new browser and you're pretty much set.

Initially looking for what to take off I would say (not interested in any of the BS stuff moto puts on there, just not sure what I should be getting rid of and what should remain. I'll hold off on root for awhile just until I get more familiar.)
After that, mostly just basic stuff that people like to tweak a little here and there. There are so many options and functions I could spend days just sorting through them all.
One thing I noticed right away that I think was mentioned here or another board before, I added my google account to sync contact, email, and calendar...however I now seem to have EVERY person I've emailed, even random craigslist people that I spoke with once or twice, in my contacts. I'd really like to get it to sync only people that are an actual contact.
OK well pertaining to the applications, I deleted everything that was on there that I could; wasn't all if it but a lot of stuff could be.
For the contacts problem, to go settings, accounts, and click on the email addresses. Deselect contacts.
At this point it wont sync them anymore and you can delete them from the contacts.
You can also hit the menu key and choose different views for which contacts you want to see.

Just go to Contacts, hit the menu key and go to Settings. There will be a checkbox for "Phone Number's Only". Select that and the ones without phone numbers will go away.
Also, get ADW.Launcher or Launcher Pro. Figure out which one you like better and then upgrade to the paid version. I have ADW Launcher EX and I use it in all the android phones I've had since I bought it. They are so much better and more flexible than the built in launchers.
you dont need to delete anything since its not doing anything if you are not using it. Get apps like "whats app" and "pingchat" which work like BBM. Use launcher pro and customize your home screen. Download some games and emulators

Found the setting you described so hopefully that helps, will I need to manually delete all "extra" contacts that got synced previously? Also, would there be a way either stock or by 3rd party app to only sync people listed as actualy contacts in my gmail account? I have about 300 or so in my actual contacts list in gmail on the webpage, but a few of them that I do use are email contacts only so I would still want to sync those.
Also for syncing in general, does the computer or phone override? So say I delete a contact on my phone, will it delete from my gmail contacts list as well when i get into gmail on my comp, and vice versa?
Concerning synching in general, it goes both ways
Oh a word of advice, if you delete something on your calander on the phone, it is deleted from the cloud (and desktop) calender as well.
So I would suggest to delete all things on the computer if you can; I have my classes set up perfectly and I deleted all next week on spring break and it didn't give me aby options for that week; effectively deleting everything after that.

The phone will push newer data back out to the network. So if you change it on your phone, it will update to google, and vice versa.
I believe the "newer" data will always trump.
It should only push in contacts who are in your gmail contacts, so if you want email addresses only on some of them, then uncheck the box I mentioned earlier and just delete the contacts you don't want out of the google contacts listings.
It shouldn't list a bunch of contacts outside of that unless you have them as facebook/twitter friends and have those sync'd as well with contacts. (application settings)

Both good to know. I like the "newest" action being the overriding factor, so I can change from either location.
Looks like selecting the "only phone numbers" got rid of the extra stuff, but not sure what other contacts were email only I may have now omitted, have to look into it further.

Would there be a way to sync a facebook account on google contact, and then sync google contact to the nexus s?
Just had a look at my phone, and when i went into contacts, go to settings and there is an export to usb option as a .cvl (i think>) format.
Im assuming you can then go into gmail and import it into your contacts using that file, worth a try
What i'd like to do it to have all my facebook contact (100+) on my phone with their phone number and email.
Using gmail was an exemple as I know that one can be synced with the phone.

You can already sync facebook contacts to your phone, mine is set up like that right now!
I THINK that there was some controversy with FB and Google about FB's sync so they removed it? But CM mod has brought that functionality back.
Either way, it works on CM7 for sure
If you have the Facebook App installed you can Sync Contacts so long as you've Android 2.3.2 or earlier (Or install an alternate ROM). For more see;

I have 2.3.3, but I didn't know CM could bring that back. Most of CM feature I as were already part of my phone, so I didn't felt like rooting was worth it. But now I think i'll look deeper into that, thanks

If you use an AOSP-based rom, the rights google deleted were put back into it.
