I have two Mytouch 4G's (mine and my wife's) both running Android 2.2.1 with facebook app 1.5. neither of the devices are able to sync contacts from facebook to the device. (Not using mytouch facebook app) I have done a hard reset on the devices, installed and uninstalled the app several times with no change. Anyone else have this issue? (also it will not display in the settings accounts & syncs - when I go to add account nothing happens) Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
Sounds like the only option is to use FB for MyTouch to sync with contacts and regular app for everything else. That's what it was last time I was running stock rom.
I hope you are not right. As I have seen it working on other MYT 4G's. But if I have to that will work. Not the best solution.
Were they stock phones or running custom roms? It's working fine in CM for me.

Just did a factory wipe of my phone and now when trying to log in to Facebook for HTC Sense I am getting: The service is currently unavailable. Would you like to try again. Tried again with and without wireless to no avail.
Anyone else having this issue?
Restored back to a Nandroid backup that had been working fine, removed the Facebook for HTC Sense sync account and tried re-adding it, getting same issue. Sounds like a problem with Facebook.
Just flashed my Desire tonight and I can't sync Facebook.....it's getting me mad now.....grrrrrrr
It is ok, that is a very useless bloatware feature of Sense... Soo lucky!
I like the Facebook for HTC Sense app, it sync pictures for all of my contacts to their Facebook accounts so I don't have to. I loved that feature in MobileShell 3.5 for Windows mobile.

Heres HTC's response.....not tried it though as no doubt it won't work
In regards to Facebook I can help you with that. Please try the following steps if these do not help please contact the HTC helpline. Check People>Menu>View and confirm is the Facebook and/or the Facebook for HTC Sense is ticked. Log into there Facebook Account online and check if anything has changed. Does your password contain any unusual characters? (!ӣ$%^&*()_+) etc. Open People app>select the globe symbol>Facebook>Menu> Refresh. If you have checked all this and it fails try Home>Menu>Applications>Manage Applications >Facebook for HTC Sense>Clear Cache>Clear Data. Home>Menu>Settings >Accounts & Sync>Facebook for HTC Sense>Sync Now. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
kurtish your pessimism was spot on. HTC's instructions do not work.
I noticed this as well after using the OTA update leak
Just ran Across this on the XDA home page today
HTC Sense Not Playing Nice with Facebook
Followed the steps in the post and Facebook for HTC Sense now connects, but it still doesn't seem to be working properly. If I go to a contact and try to link it to a facebook contact it doesn't show any of my contacts. Definitel sounds like Facebook changed something that broke the way the HTC Facebook app interacted with it.
Functionality seems to be restored for some users now, I personally had to nandroid restore back to a few days ago pre-FB/HTC issue, but once I did that+some muddling/restarts, all contacts sync'd as they should. YMMV
I have had the same issue with sense not getting along with face book. In people, where you choose which contacts to show, I checked my contacts for face book but it showed 0 of them. After restoring any data I thought would help thru titanium, un-installing fb, re installing fb, and re booting did things seem to be back to normal.
Beamed into cyber space by my Droid Incredible
Apparently HTC have advised some customers that the issue will be fix within 48 hours.....so give it until Christmas and we'll be able to sync again
What is the issue exactly? Is there a way to fix it manually? As I am having to reload the phone to stock ROM, UI, and just leaving it rooted as I am having to give it to my mother. I want her to have the ability to use the syncing feature, without having to get a different ROM.
Which ROM do you have loaded on it now?
I know DamageControl 2.08.01 had some Facebook sync issues, but I am not aware of any other ROMs having problems.
Make sure you sign in to the Facebook app on the phone, and also have the sync set up in the Accounts & Sync options in the Settings menu. It should be working fine.
Hey all,
I searched around here and didn't find anything. But is anyone else having issues with the calendar widget? I can't get any of the events to show even by setting visible and sync. I'm using cm6.1.1
On my aria
Or if there is a better widget that works too.
Thanks!

Which calendar are you syncing with? Google or something else? CM does not work with HTC sync so you will need something else to sync to Outlook. In the 30 minutes I had CM on my Aria last week I could not get it to log into my Google account either.
To get it to sync with google you have to flash the separate gapps. And yes i do have that installed with all the correct settings for sync. It apparently only shows the next one event(Which i wasn't used to coming from sense lol) That's why i was asking if there is anything comparable.
Other than that the cm mods are great!
I was using cm 6.1.3 all my contacts were there. I then flashed the latest sprint lovers rom I no longer can sign in to facebook on htc sense. I then did a nand backup and still couldn't sign in to facebook for sense. I also flashed mikifroyo which was working over 1 week ago now can't sign into facebook for sense. Any ideas on what is causing this? Is it the fact I went to an ASOP rom then back to sense. I have done a full wipe every time I flash. I have also uninstalled facebook for android then tried to reinstalled. I have searched all day and all info seems to be from July.
CM's contact sync is different from a sense rom's. Did you try going to Accounts and Syncs and adding a Facebook For HTC Sense account? That should do the trick.

When I do that it says service unavailable. I have tried 3 other sense based roms and the same message every time.
My facebook (from samsung social hub) calendar just wont sync with any custom rom.
It worked fine when i had stock rom but doesnt work with litening or villain 1.2 (current).
Doesn't work for me either at the moment on the stock rom.

I have the stock rom, and it has been working fine for me. I think it is linked to the SNS Fb account in the social hub, because when I forced the social hub to stop working the sync stopped. But when I re-booted the phone and social hub came back online, sync again started.
facebook calender synchronizing has worked fine with me with stock ROM, as well as Litening 1.2, 1.3, & 1.4!

This seems to be a serious error for people that want to use facebook sync.
What could be the problem?
Mine worked for me 1 time when I 1st got the Charge but other than that I've never been able to get it to work! I really like having that calendar too, and it kinda sux I can't get it to work, I have sync calendar checked but it just won't work.
I did a trick that made it work again but had forgotten what it was. I'll definitely let you guys know if i remember.
I think it had something to do with the facebook android app interfering with it. Not sure since I don't use facebook anymore.
anyone find out how to get it to workk.. just got home from tmo with it and facebook sync will not work
any apps out there that independantly do this? it would be great to completely rid myself of all samsung crap on my phone and reliance of their software for anything....
thats why i replaced their email, music, calander, file explorer etc so when i change roms, i keep all my data and settings from ROM to ROM
