still doesnt work?
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.

This worked wonders...Thanks!
I'm having a similar issue with my twitter contacts. I can manually add a few via the method offered above, but the account doesn't seem to find some of them (including my girlfriend's, which is particularly frustrating).

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.

Hey guys,
Hoping you can help me with this besides doing a hard reset. I had to resync all of my People contacts over again and now they won't link with Facebook contacts (won't show the Facebook picture in Favorites or link in People at all - when I'm in People and click the sync button to click 'link Facebook profile', the list is empty).
I've tried loggin out and then back in to Facebook, but no luck.
What can i do to fix this?
Did you remove HTC sense
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
No.
I think I just fixed it (I googled the error message and tried a couple things I read):
I went to the setup program (the one that you got the first time you started the phone), and went through it until reaching the facebook options. Logged out, and logged in again. I then re-synced HTC contacts and slowly it refreshed the Facebook stuff and I could manually link contacts to FB contacts.
Alright so I had to remove my facebook account from my phone and put it back in - like countless other people the contacts aren't sync'ing. Here's what I've tried:
Removed facebook account from Accounts. Uninstalled Facebook app updates. Turned off phone. Logged into facebook on my PC and went into application settings and removed facebook mobile and samsung mobile access. Booted phone. Checked logs and saw "facebook_1.2.apk has changed ... unpacking" Rebooted phone. I went back into accounts and added Facebook account - still not syncing with the contacts. I opened the Facebook app and logged in. The facebook app gave itself an account in my Accounts & Sync (So now two facebook entries there) but the app will only pull contacts not the calendar. But it did put pics and link my contacts successfully.
So now you're probably thinking - problem solved albeit through 2 facebook accounts on the phone right? That's what I thought - one can do my calendar and one can do my contacts. However, I then discovered that for some reason the contact pictures aren't showing up in the messaging app - or anywhere else in the phone where they should (Except the Contacts app itself). So I started the whole process over again keeping a close eye on the logs to check for errors. Apparently for the contact pictures to populate to other parts of the phone, it needs to be done through SNS service. While trying to update the facebook account with the SNS setting (Not the one created by the FB App) and pouring over the logs I came across:
W/System.err(2437): at com.sec.android.app.sns.xml.parser.SnsXmlParser.parse(SnsXmlParser.java:73)
E/SNS_PARSER(2437): SnsXmlParser : xmlReader.parse() : SAXException occur
Parse method return false
So it would appear that the SNS service is to blame. The question then is... why is it broken? I'm wondering if this is something that happened through an MR. I've had the phone since launch and contact sync was never failure free (Unlike my HTC phones) but if you let it sit a few days it would magically work one day - well I've been sitting for a few days and it hasn't fixed itself yet so that's what started me on proactive approach.
Thoughts?
I called sprint about this problem yesterday and was pretty much told its probally something with facebook and not much they can do since its 3rd party...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Well the problem I have with that response is that the Facebook app itself will pull the contacts just fine. So the issue I believe is with the sns service - whether it's going to the wrong site on facebook to pull the contacts or whatever. Which would explain why it's not able parse anything, it's not getting anything to parse. But they won't touch it. I'm willing to bet it's Samsung related. This problem happens to other Galaxy S models also. Guess we're just s.o.l.

Has there been a fix for this yet, can I drop in the sns file from lets say evo ?
No issues here..if you use the facebook account sync option at the top and turn off the one that facebook installs then everything will work fine.
My issue is tha I can not join contacts with facebook ones, it does not sns account, only the one that comes default but even then I can not join contacts, even if I match them up

I'd say start over with a fresh factory default or wipe with clockwork mod. I've never had a facebook sync issue since the phone was released. Not an issue on the DK28 ones either.
Does anyone know what the People app for Sense filename is? I'm trying to load an alternate People app from a Desire HD ROM. The Evo version shows all Google contacts and there is no way to turn it off. What I am trying to do is show only the "My Contacts" group. If it works I'll let you guys know! Thanks!

Your post is confusing but I will try to help.
The evo sense people app is htccontacts.apk. The google contacts is handled by googlecontactssyncadapter.apk.
You can stop the google contact sync by unchecking "sync contacts" under gmail sync in accounts & sync (if you have gmail auto syncing) or you can uninstall googlecontactssyncadapter.apk.
I have uninstalled googlecontacts and googlecalender sync adapters with no ill effects.
Unsyncing or uninstalling will stop google contacts from appearing in htccontacts (sense people). If you have google contacts in there already you will have to delete them manually AFTER you have disabled googlecontact syncing or uninstalled the googlecontactsync adapter.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I was brief in my first post but here's a longer explanation.
The People app on the Evo shows ALL of your Gmail contacts. However, there are some contacts that I've placed in a group called "Unused Contacts." If you check your contacts in Gmail, you will find that there is a group called "My Contacts." That is where I keep my most frequently used contacts.
On my phone, while browsing the contacts in the People app, every contact in my Gmail account is enumerated, including those in the "Unused Contacts" group.
However, the People app on my old phone (HTC Hero) had the ability to choose which contact groups you wanted to view. It was through a menu option within the People app. That was the feature that I was trying to replicate.
I went ahead and downloaded a ROM from the Desire HD forums. I have heard that the People app in the Desire HD had this feature enabled. I pushed the HtcContacts.apk file to my own phone's /system/app folder using adb. However, when I restarted the phone, the app just force closed on me. After playing around with it for a while, I was still not able to get it to work, so I just restored a Nandroid backup.
Hope that's clear enough for you
I can't test the google contact sync since I don't use it and for the reason you mentioned above.
The evo people app has a view option when you hit menu while viewing all your contacts but again I can't test filtering since I don't sync contacts to my gmail.
As for installing the people app, uninstall the stock one and try installing the desire version via a flash zip.
I find adb to be picky sometimes when pushing system apps. I had an instance where I had to restore my system app bluetooth and the only way to install it correctly was to flash it via recovery.
Hope that helps.
I have been looking for this fix for forever!!
I have the same gripe all the other HTC phones have the ability to filter the google contacts.
Were you able to figure this out? I would love to be able to do this.
I have been using Hyperdroid for a while, and all is well.
After reading some articles on the new features in ICS, I decided to try a new ROM: Tytungs NexusHD2-ICS-CM9_V1.3.
I resized the partitions, wiped data and cache and installed the ROM (Magldr).
I'm very please with the new features of ICS and all seems to be working find except for my calendar sync: Right after I enter my account details I see a message "unfortunately calendar has stopped". I can still open the calendar app and see all related calenders (I sync 5 calendars) except for my own - the main calendar defined for my own google account. My calendar shows as synced and displayed, but none of the calendar entries show up on the phone.
I was using second factor authentication, so have disabled it before restarting the whole setup procedure. As you guessed the problem still occurs. I don't see why the other calenders still sync as expected, but my own doesn't.
I would really like to continue using ICS, but without a trusted calendar sync I don't see myself doing this.
I've searched the forums, but found no posts about this particular problem - does any know how to solve this??
Are U using any firewall app (like DroidWall) on your device?

No, not yet (I would like to try it later to reduce my data usage) first want to get this running.
Funny thing is that the other calendars I'm syncing are on my phone correctly.
One more interesting fact: if I add a new entry on the phone, it appears correctly in my gcal.
Can't see what's happening :$
