I have recently started running Liberty 0.3 on my DX, and the only issue that I see is with my contacts. My contacts are syncing to my google account, but when I select for them to also use facebook, it highlights the icon and acts like it is selecting it, but nothing comes up. Any suggestions for fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated.
wipe data and cache and reinstall the rom again . during the set up skip the gmail login. after your finished the set up open up the market place and do the sign in from there. It worked for me. Some reason when you try to login to your gmail from the backup assistance it take forever longer than the suggested five minutes.
I updated to liberty v.5 and they had an option to install a contacts sync feature so it now works. thanks for your help!

Hey all, I'm having a problem with the native gmail app. As of yesterday 3pm (at least what the sync screen shows the last gmail sync) my gmail app will not sync or open. It crashes/force closes everytime I open gmail. I can use the native email app and access gmail from there but it is not push or in my opinion as good as the native gmail app. I'm running JFv1.42 RC33 Mod, with my apps on SD card with ext2 partition. I also have app data moved to sd card as well. Everything runs fine except my gmail app which mysteriously stopped working yesterday. I'm trying to avoid wiping the G1 as I don't want to hafta go and download all those applications over again.
So far I've tried reflashing JFv1.42 RC33 mod, app still crashes. I tried moving data back to phone, app still crashes. I don't understand what has happened, or what could be causing this, my wifes gmail app works just fine? Anyways any other ideas I can try before going thru the tedious task of wiping and flashing and redownloading everything again?
Fixed it, just posting this in case anyone else might run into same problem. I went into menu>>settings>>Applications>>Manage applications>>Gmail Storage>> Then tap clear data. (Don't worry, gmail will sync your mail again, you won't lose anything) After that Gmail started syncing and wasn't giving me a force close or crash, but the mail still wouldn't sync. So I rebooted, then opened gmail app, all my mail synced and everythings fine!

doesnt work for me damn..
edit : su copy.sh undodata seems to have fixed the issue
i have then again moved my apps and data back to sd card.
The issue is EXT2 doesn't play too well with memory cards and gets corrupted easily from what I've been told. I've had my google apps database get corrupted multiple times and it was caused by a corrupted file system which forced me to have to load up a linux livecd to fix the file system errors. Now I keep my data on the internal memory to avoid the issue. From what I understand if we had an easy way to create a yaffs2 partition instead of EXT2 this problem would be less frequent.
This resolved my syncing issues, thanks!

CONFIRMED. I had to do this on my Nexus1. When checking out applications management, filter by "all". Thanks again!
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?

wow! that makes me not even wanna try! you did all that and still no results! what ROM are you on??
Damagecontrol v1, damagecontrol sprintupdate2, fresh rom 2.0d, fresh rom's newest one....it all continues to do the same.
thats prolly because peep.
try to disable peep auto update. get autokiller from the market and kill com.htc.bg and bgp. fixed it for me.
those two brought my rom and oc kernel to a complete death crawl

I don't use peep. com.htc.bg and bgp failures happen whenever I try and sync. Doesn't work either if I kill them before I try and sync.
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...

we were having the same problems to the T!! now your facebook works simply because you deleted a ' from your account name?!?!
i don't have no symbols and i followed all the other steps as well about removing the facebook htc sense from facebook and all the above. haven't tried the peep since i do use it but how do you kill the btp and bg???

any fix to this?
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.

By recommendation of another member, I cleared data from 'contacts Storage' and 'People' and now its working perfectly!
I just flashed the newest Sprint Lovers ROM, and my contacts wont sync. I get the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" message. This has been for the last 5 hours. Maybe sync really is down? My email syncs fine, all my data works (market updates, internet) and have tried on WiFi also. I have also updated my profile succesfully.
Is it down for anyone else or any ideas?
edit: I have also tried unchecking the sync box in the accounts and sync menu, rebooting, and re-checking the box. No worky.
edit2: Well now it synced with no error, however, it shows last sync time as 1230pm today (6 1/2 hours ago when I flashed) and contacts didnt load. This is very bizzare.
Well I ended up just creating a vcard from my gmail account and importing. Although my sync this morning doesnt show the same error, it still shows last sync was yesterday.
I dunno.
edit: I just created a test contact and synced to see if it would add it to my gmail contacts when I log in online...now it gives me the error, and it didnt sync. Im perplexed.

Ive been getting the same message however i can't download apps or install them. this happened while I was using titanium backup...Restoring apps because I flashed another rom. Now I can't flash any new roms because i cant restore any older apps. Suggestions????
I am wanting to find out how to solve an issue i am having with facebook sync, I was using bionix 1.3 but decided to change to deodexed kb1. I will provide all info just to help. I have voodoo installed as well, also have used the 6 lockscreen mod by whitehawx. Thats it other than that just stock. With bionix, and other custom roms including cm7, I could select in the facebook app to sync with existing contacts, I like it for the pictures more than anything else. Now the option is gone and with accounts and settings it wants me to choose all or to go through and select each one, which I dont want to do, I have to many contacts for that. I looked though the bionix rom and it uses 3 apk's for account and sync and contacts, where in stock deodexed kb1 has four associated with it. Can someone shed some light on this? I'm not sure if apk is relevant or not. I also have copied build prop over from bionix rom just to try and see if that would make facebook app think i was on different rom and give me the option but that didnt work either. I'm lost Not even sure if im anywhere close to ballpark as to what is causing this. I have searched through the forums and all over the web and have seen same issues talked about but no solution, Im aware google disabled this for the nexus s due to facebook not using api correctly but I want it.
no one has any idea, or even experienced the same issue as me?
Maybe you need to find an older version of the facebook app and use it. Google may have only disabled the contact sync for the nexus s but facebook just recently updated it's program and might have turned them all off in preparation for some new system. Just a thought..
I just recently switched from bionix to kb1 as well..but I just sync all contacts and only display the ones with phone numbers.

Are you freezing any apps through Titanium Backup? If you are then defrost them all and then try and sync. I had that same issue and that worked for me.
Bionix 1.3.1 w/Overstock 1.4.1
Scarlet Leftovers Theme w/flip animations
im having a similar issue. Im running bionix 1.3.1 and during initial set up, i synced my facebook contacts with my google contacts, but after i was done all my facebook contacts disappeared completely. I only have my google contacts. I cant seem to re-add my facebook contacts to sync them together.
Do either one of you use Titanium Backup? Is there anything frozen like DRM,etc? If so unfreeze that should solve your issue. Its not the FB app cause I had this problem. Also go onto your contacts and make sure that the fb sync shows up. If not then try reflashing the rom.
Bionix 1.3.1 w/Overstock 1.4.1

I dont have anything frozen on titanium backup. I tried syncing my account again, fb account showed up in contacts, then disappeared again. I deleted the fb account to my contacts list and re-added it and it worked. So I guess to OP, delete/remove the account from your contact list and add it again, see if that works.
dont have anything frozen with titanium backup, only thing i use it for is to restore apps after flashes never system data or anything else
I've come across my first problem with LPF.
When I try to create a new task in S Planner, it says "event created", then the screen goes black and it hangs for about a minute, then a system notice pops up that says "Unfortunately, S Planner has stopped. OK"
When I go back int S Planner, the event hasn't been created.
I tried rebooting and get the same thing.
I don't use the local calender, I only use the gmail calendar.
It was working on LPY, because I created an event yesterday on the phone.
Is anybody else having this problem?
Rich
My splanner is OK just checked.
Thanks.
I couldn't work out the problem.
I tried to clear the cache and data in the app manager.
I tried to restore an older backup from TB that I know was working under LPY.
I added events via the web interface and they wou;dn't appear when I synced.
My google account was still setup ok as Gmail was working.
I ended up doing a factory reset and TB restore (without restoring S Planner) and am just going through and reconfiguring everything now.
S planner works OK for me now.
