Google contact sync down?? - Epic 4G General

Hey guys..just switched roms, installed my theme of choice.. now have titaniumed all my apps back and went it to contacts to send a sms thinking I was done... but my contacts didn't sync, says sync is experiencing problems and will be back shortly.. anyone else having this???? Its 4/28/11 around 6:15pm ct..
Could I have someone just try to sync there google acct and let me kno what happens?
sent on a sfr epic

Just tried for the 20th time must be back up
sent on a simply aosp epic

it was down for me too. restored, though, as you said.

I just hard reset my phone and was experiencing the same problems.
I can't update my profile and prl anymore either
Edit: nvm...working again. still can't update prl and profile tho...

mine is still down on all my android devices

I had the same issues.. For whatever reason themes I am installing with SRF 1.1 don't play nice. I will get a few days that it seems to work fine, but then at some point I will get a lockup, or the battery will start draining..
Its off topic for the thread, but was the reason why I was needing to re-sync my contacts... Going to stay SRF 1.1 only until 1.1.1 comes out.

unable to sync contacts since update

just about Since i updated to JF ADP 1.42h i have been unable to sync contacts- i backed them up using mybackup and reinstalled them using this- the phone automatically synced all google stuff with gmail at the start and it wiped all but 5 of my contacts in gmail but all are still on my phone.
now when i try to sync contacts with gmail it says: "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Anyone else having/had this problem? How to fix?
thx
yes I am having this issue also. It really sucks. I notice it syncs the contacts but not completely thru. At first I thought it was something I did but now I am thinking it has to do with the 1.42(RC33) update I did.
Looking for a fix myself. I am just about to do a wipe to see if that does the trick. If it does I will report back but if someone knows anything about this please let us know .
hi,
i had the same problem and it deleted about 50 contacts before i realized it was doing so. mybackup if flawless on other versions of jesusfreke but its odd there is a problem this time. I think it might be jf's gear or maybe I partition the card and now its weird. i don't know....
Happy Valentines!
hbguy
i have decided to just live with it- all my contacts are backed up with mybackup anyway, just not in gmail anymore. Maybe next time install contacts first before syncing with gmail......
but am not gonna wipe again or anything- my wife would kill me getting all my settings right again- i will wait for the next update in a couple of weeks- hopefully cupcake
It as a job but I got it fixed by doing a complete wipe a few times. I lost radio for awhile for some reason flashed the latest radio update but contacts now sync perfectly.
I am about to do a partition test ... if it messes up after that then I know that's the cause. This all started now that I remember because I did a restore with MyBackup for my contacts & that was a mistake it seems like.
We shall see though.

Facebook Problems that HTC and Facebook Guys wont fix

I love trying new Rom's. The only problem that I have is syncing facebook to my contacts most of the time its not working and when I do get it to work I don't want to change anything. then it just stops working. Is there anyone working on a fix for this cause I have talked to both HTC and Facebook guys and there blaming each other. There are some smart people in this forum. I would think that someone would come up with a workaround
have you tried this (posted in xtrSENSE thread by xtr):
Slow facebook sync? per erishasnobattery: log into your facebook account on your computer - Click Account>Application Settings>under Authorized - remove listing for HTC Sense.
so, using a sense-based ROM, i'd imagine that you'd want the HTC Sense setting on (in FB). if using non-sense based, follow the above.
hope it helps!
I believe the facebook syncing has gotten MORE reliable with the July OTA update.
Try Evil Eris 4.0 when it comes out or Plain Jane v2 or Ivan's Eris_Official 1.1 when it comes out.
I leave always-on mobile on, and never have trouble with Facebook syncing. It never works right away, but does eventually. Sometimes if I open the people app, click the little recycling looking circle, and hit menu > refresh, the facebook syncing happens faster.
If you watch the Android SDK, you can watch it happening when it's happening. There's lots of data for it to download.

Is there anyway to incorporate July OTA update into the current roms now like an update that I can flash I have search the forum and google with no luck
I am running the new xtrSense 3.1 with the July update in it.
I too can not get FB to sync with my contacts. I can not get one single FB friend to appear on my phone.
I have also tried the FB settings as suggested but no such luck.
Kinda blows.
I have not been able get htcfacebook to setup on any htc rom i try since late friday... i posted a thread in general on it that has a little info. I am not aware of anything we can do until htc and facebook fix it...

My wife's Eris allows for FB Sync with her contacts. I am looking at it right now, now issue at all.
I have no idea what ROM she is on, Sense based. In software info it doesn't say what it is. I think it might be the Leak4BaseROM, it only allows OC to 710.

From my testing and research, the issue seems to only effect when you first setup the account so if you were connected BEFORE the issue, continuing operations seem to mostly work... not sure if this others experience though.

Give this a try...
Follow what tenzomonk posted. This is what I did about a month ago to get mine to sync. I was getting the com.htc.bg error and facebook would not sync.
Go to facebook online and sign in. Go to your applications and delete 'Facebook for Android'. Then go to settings> Accounts & Sync on your phone and remove 'Facebook for HTC Sense. Now restart your phone and go back into Accounts & Sync and add 'Facebook for HTC Sense' again. This should solve the issue with com.htc.bg and your facebook account should now sync properly! Also, if you want your facebook contacts added to your google contacts, open contacts/people and then hit the menu button, then view, and then check facebook. This will add them to your google contacts.
Hope this helps.

What you all are seeing is the previously sync'd pictures from prior to the hose.
Go to the updates page and look at how many days ago the status update was.
It wasn't today. It'll probably say 5 or 6 days ago.
I search market for
Syncmypix
when I have an AOSP ROM or if I dont' want HTC Sync set up (due to having a snooping girlfriend).
Sets up your pictures.
No little 'F' in the corner.
Good luck
Really, this facebook issue has 0 to do with your ROM. It is all HTC/Facebook. If I restore a NAND from Wednesday, it *appears* to work ok, but as someone else mentioned, the data is 5 or 6 days old. Try adding a friend on facebook and they won't show up.
I flashed the *exact* same ROM again yesterday and they won't sync at all. HTC and Facebook both know about it, but it just went down overnight Thursday. They only had Friday to work on it, as I doubt either company wants to pay a bunch of devs OT to work on it over the weekend.

Thanks, pkopalek, for the tip on syncmypix. Works great. I don't know if I had problems before rooting yesterday, but haven't been able to get facebook sync to work since then. I was getting frustrated waiting for HTC and facebook to fix this. Now I don't have to wait.
Just an update. It looks like HTC is looking at it.

You're doing nothing wrong. The issue was with the servers on HTC & Facebook's end. Nothing to do with your phone in particular. The issue was a global one.
The issue appears now to be rectified as I am seeing reports everywhere that people are now able to sync and I, myself, noticed all my facebook contacts & status' were sync'd this morning.
It's fixed!!

facebook sync and "feeds and updates" widget

Anybody else having trouble with facebook not syncing lately? I also notice that the feeds and updates widgets wont pull any facebook posts either and now wont update at all. I know the widget from launcherpro works so it must be isolated to something with facebook or the widget itself.
I was having the same problem after I did the froyo update and it wouldn't resolve itself so I made tmobile give me a warranty exchange to go back to eclair...any news on if it has been fixed yet?
I was able to "fix" this by removing the facebook and twitter accounts from accounts and sync in settings, re-booting and adding the accounts back in. I'm running Bionix V. Hope this helps.

Mine does this every so often too. So far, I just remove the widget from the home screen and reinstall it and it works.
Same problem here.
I didn't root still running the stock rom seems like the FROYO for galaxy S has been on major F*CK UP across the board. Sprint pulled its FROYO update for the Epic 4g can't wait to hear what goes wrong with the AT&T update.
Anybody running the stock rom have a resolution for the widgets and facebook/twitter sync issues tmobile customer care was no help.

Can't send or recieve pics through text...

For some reason I can't receive or send pics through my text messages anymore on my EVO Shift. It used to do it just fine but for the past month or so it wont do it. I went to Sprint and the CSR tried to update a few things and even tried to send a pic to me from her phone and it wouldn't do it. She said I need to take it to a repair store... but my phone isn't broken!! I have never dropped it, never scratched it and have never had it near water.
I run Lookout (free), JuiceDefender (free), Launcher Pro (free), FW (free) clock widget, Apps2SD, Some icons I downloaded from this site, and that's pretty much it. Everything else with this phone is working flawlessly and I have no problem getting pics through my mail on the phone. The Micro SD card was upgraded a while back from 2gig to an 8gig. Any experts out there that might know what's going on? Do I need to remove some apps?
I don't know why juice defender?? The Shift has a great battery as it is.
No need for such apps.
I got the feeling that it is juice defender what is causing your troubles since usually those apps shut down your data services to save battery.
Try resetting everything to default on juice defender and get rid of it.
I have only had Juicedefender for like 3 days, the issue has been ongoing for a month or more sadly

What about a data reset??
I had the same problem bro. A factory reset fixed the issue.
I think I will do the reset tonight... I need to back up all of my phone numbers though and sprint said this phone wont do it. This was an odd statement to me because when I upgraded from my Samsung Instinct S30, all of my contacts were in this new phone and all they did was activate it... no sync or hooking it up to anything.
Ugh... Well the Data Reset worked... I can now send pics through MMS. However I have lost all of my contacts. Oh well... time to start fresh lol.
UPDATE!!
Accounts and Sync... Sync your google account and BAM!! All contacts are back!
That's why I always export my contacts to my SD card. Keep that in mind

Same issue here. Has been ongoing for some time. I've heard turning off WiFi while sending pictures works and it seems to be hit and miss.
This happened on both CM as well currently on MikShift. Also with GoSMS and default messaging app

I don't see why.. contacts are saved on Gmail so just sync your Gmail acct and they should be there again..

At the time I was unaware that Gmail and my phone was linked like that... I am glad though, now I won't hesitate to do a factory reset if something messes up again. Also, I talked my girlfriend into an HTC phone... she got the EVO 4G in white. She loves it.

[q] n4 pa 3.6/3.65 email not working!!! Help

2 weeks ago I flashed PA 3.6 on my N4. after a day or so i noticed that i was not receiving any incoming emails on a Hotmail or exchange account. BUT if i went into the email account and manually hit the "sync" button emails would populate. I was previously on a PA 3.XX Rom and had no issue.
I installed the new rom, wiped cache, installed Gapps update, Fix and still nothing. The only new app i installed was Swipe, i uninstalled that, cleared email app cache and still nothing unless i manually sync. I then moved up to PA 3.65 yesterday and the same issue. So i decided to delete all the email accounts and re-create them. Now it lets me create an account and verified the credentials on the accounts but never completes a "sync" and seems to be stuck in a constant loop.
This is on wifi or the network. Anyone have similar issues? i have found no posts regarding this. Worst case i could just do a factory reset and try that if i have to.
Thanks!
I get this all the time with new ROMs. The last ROM that acted up was MakoColors, before that was MIUI, then PA before that. It must just take time, because my Nandroid backups (I rotate between PA and MIUI every week or so; I love them) seem to be working. I encounter it every single time I try a new ROM, then it just magically fixes itself after a few days. I don't understand it either, OP. I have a Gmail and a Hotmail account; the Hotmail account is the only one that has problems (makes sense that the Gmail one wouldn't act up). I have no idea how to fix it though. It's quite annoying.
I wish that was the case. I had 3.6 installed for about 9 days and it was still the same story. I've tried to change from push to a different interval and back to push and same outcome.
Ok, I gotta bump this thread because I'm now getting this problem with the 4.3 leak. My email refuses to sync no matter what I do. It's a Hotmail account. Anyone know what could be the cause? Stuck on the sync screen with no emails or anything on my phone.

I fixed my issue by doing a factory wipe. nothing else worked no matter how many times I flashed.
let it in peace, it will sync. this is not a problem with a rom, not pa or miui or whatever you flash - it just takes times. i recently bought my mom a macbook air, it took one hour until her mails were there, when i set up one of my android device i just put them away to allow them to get sync their stuff. i noticed especially in the legacy mail app this can take quite long but you can be certain there is no difference between stock android and PA in that regard.
I flashed pa 3.65 and it worked, I just had to start clean. dirty flash was producing the same result every Rom I flashed.
I had this happen to my Nexus 7. For about a month. No play store. It linked fine, I could go into the play store on the N7, just couldn't install from the browser. A little inconvenience, but no biggy. Today I wanted to squash it. lol.
What I did was clear data and uninstall updates from settings-apps-all. Then opened up the play store and saw it was the old version of play, which was fine. Exited out and went back into the play store. I got a message that I needed to enable or download the play services app from the play store, which is weird because I already have it. So what I did there was clear all data in that app and sign into the play services app. Again, exited out and went back into the play store. Play updated automagically, but I still couldn't see the N7 listed under my devices in my browser. I let it go for about an hour because I got busy at work. Decided that if it didn't show up by the end of the day, I would factory reset and redo everything. So I began my titanium backup.
Before that, I let TB and went into the market update helper to attach the apps again to the market. Then I started my apps and data backup just in case I needed to do a factory reset.
About a hour later, I see the N7 back under my settings.
