Need help guys!!! My facebook contacts that I previously linked with my windows live contacts becomes unlinked everytime I perform synchronization in my hotmail livetile.
Pls help me regarding this problem. I have search the net but i couldn't find any solution. Anyone there with the same problem? Please help!!!!
Ive had the same problem. my contacts seem to randomly un-link with facebook and windows live as well as becoming un-pinned to my home page. Ive had the focus since november and this only recently started happening
Happened to me over the weekend as well, but just was a one time thing.
Word is that this should be fixed as of today. No specifics on the fix but there's nothing you need to do on your phone.

I just wanted to ask whether anyone else had run into the same problem or now. I have installed HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 on my unbranded Hero and it has been great. Really fast and it seems less buggy.
However I had one major issue. When I turned on my phone this morning all my contacts were gone! So I went into data synchronisation and made sure the box was ticked.
I ticked and unticked it, however things aren't quite syncing up properly at the moment. The contacts are back, but when I make edits on my phone they are not carrying through to google's servers ... Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: I have tried syncing my contacts again. After the little arrows stop spinning the last updated time still stays the same. It's stuck on 07:22 at the moment and it's 07:39 here ...
EDIT2: This problem exists on the wifi and mobile data connection.
Could it be that this is a problem on Google's end?
Woah! And we're back!
It seems to have fixed itself!
Not for me. Still have this issue, does anyone else?
God damn! My Hero deleted all its contacts again. It takes ages to sync changes and if you do too many at once it just doesn't do it, crashes and deletes all your contacts.
NOT awesome!
I have posted a support ticket with HTC, I'll see what they say.
I already experienced an "issue" with a delay from google contacts.
But I deleted everything, then synched and after a while (about 15 minutes) all contacts where shining in my Hero.
I have similar issue.
I can get my contacts from Google but cannot make new ones on the server side. I will check it thoroughly later on and report you back.
Google add to contact
The whole option to add to Google contacts is missing on mine. Google contacts are still present and seemingly updating.
So not exactly the same behaviour, but might be worth checking your phone.
Hello,
I'm sick of searching for hours and finding a solution. Let's discuss it here, as I think i'm not the only one Google Contacts user with an HD2.
- I setup exchange with my google account. WORKS
- Sync of main calendar, mail, contacts. WORKS
After sync, my contacts are "Lastname, Firstname". I tried "Contact_changer_v1.3.cab", it fixes it to "Firstname, Lastname". BUT, after phone syncs with google again it changes all contacts back to "Lastname, Firstname".
SOLUTION?
That's strage. I've got the same problem but than the opposite. After Sync with Google my contacts are 'firstname', 'lastname'.
What do you use to sync with Google? I use Nuevasync...
He's using the phone's built-in Exchange feature (ActiveSync) to sync directly with Google, not through some 3rd party solution.
I have the same problem (also using ActiveSync). Well, it's not a problem anymore since I gave up trying to correct it a while ago and just settled for the 'lastname, firstname' situation. I think Google's working on a fix (read it on one of their help communities somewhere) but who knows how long that'll take.
One solution would be if you guys switched: Rubenski, try using ActiveSync; Sallcho, try NuevaSync!
I have this problem too.
What i've found is that all contacts with photos or notes get reverted back after syncing.
So what i've done is to remove all notes/photos.
Anyone know if google is working on this at all?

I have found that you must sync through contacts instead of settings for it to actually connect and sync/link them. Go to contacts ->Menu ->Accounts ->Add Account. Then add an "Integrated Contact Account" at the top. Once it's added, click on Menu-> Get Friends.

This technique does not work. I have tried every possible way multiple times. Ticking facebook to "get friends" does not even do anything. Doing research about this problem with other phones seems to point toward FB servers as the problem. Pretty much FB = epic fail. I have only gotten my FB contacts to sync twice but it never updated - one was right when I got the phone but did not like the epic syncing 390430.39 contacts to my gmail (since there is no option to choose what to sync or even what groups to export!!! annoying i decided to do a hard reset). I had my fb contacts sync one more on my 3rd hard reset but i had to do yet another HR to clear a notification error due to conflicting apps. Now I am about to do my 5th. FML!
I wish FB would actually announce their issues
my voice search has stopped working other than opening browser to google. no calls, no music search, no nothing. apparently you have to sync ur contacts with google for the voice search to analyze your contacts to find the one to call. You can not have them stored to your phone group. switched all my contacts over to my google group and nothing happened. I was hoping maybe it would and that would also be why fb would not sync. guess not.
Mine synced today after turning on 4g for awhile.

It doesn't sound like a FB issue as mine synced immediately after doing what I outlined and has stayed since.
think it was coincidence
I think you trying that technique and getting it to work was just timing. I just checked to see if I can add contacts from my FB and it is the first it let me in a week trying every day. Has to be server side. People from other carriers and phones were reporting the same issue...

People reported success with this technique on other forums too, where going through the actual settings didn't work for them. IDK, it's whatever...
I'm sort of having a similar problem, except with MySpace, I haven't been able to log in since I got the phone. Any suggestions? I've tried it on both wifi & 3g (no 4g where I live) have flashed different roms and gotten the same result. Any ideas?
I recently updated to the new 2.2 that was officially released through Kies for the Samsung Vibrant. Everything was working fine and after a long process I finally got my Facebook and Twitter synced to my contacts on the correct people. Now, after about a week, the sync is having trouble and sort of unsynced people on it's own. So I thought, maybe if I removed the account and re-added it. Well, not it won't even log in.
Anyone else having this problem or had this problem and found a solution? Help would be greatly appreciated.
My facebook account wont sync either as of this afternoon. however the actual facebook for android app works fine. go figure
When I have a contact who has a Facebook account, the contact picture can be downloaded from there. This used to work on my HD2 for months, but about one month ago my HD2 stopped to download the contact pictures from Facebook. Even the ones which were already there have now dissapeared, so now I don't have any contact pictures from Facebook at all.
The folder Windows\FBContacts is now empty although the syncing is turned on (I also tried to turn it off and turn it on anew several times...).
Can somebody help me to solve this problem?

From your computer change the security settings on your profile login to HTTP instead of HTTPS....
Account Settings-->Account Security-->HTTP
THANK YOU SO MUCH, IT WORKS!!!
I would never ever come to this solution on myself! I always thought that the problem was some wrong setting or any conflict on my HD2 and I would never look for the solution somewhere else.
