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

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.
Hi,
Upgraded to the new version of Froyo 'Android 2.2 (FroYo) On HTC [03 Sep 2010] (V1.6) ' and when I go to add account, I choose Facebook, and after a slight pause, returns to the General synch settings page, but no Facebook.
Worked fine on previous release of 2.1.
I downloaded Facebook from Market.
Any advice would be appreciated, possibly I have the wrong version for the phone??
Same here,
Could this be because of a 'non-existing' link between the sync settings and the facebook app?
(Maybe because of some recent facebook app update?)
The facebook app itself works by the way, (notifications, widget, app etc) But it would be nice to sync contacts etc as well (A)
It doesn't work in mine either. (UK O2 Streak with official 2.1 update.)
Hopefully it'll be fixed soon as I liked how it automatically downloaded a profile picture for every contact in my phone.
A little reading may have a clue...
Althought I cannot confirm, it appears there's 2 versions fo facebook available for us.
Facebook for Android or HTC Facebook for Sense. I recon I must have had HTC Facebook before which does synch the contacts..
Anyone confirm this??? Anywhere to download and test HTC Facebook for Sense??
Facebook Contact Sync
Hi Guys,
I'm now in XDANDROID FRX04 with the latest facebook from the market and have the same problem, facebook does not sync the contacts.
Does someone make it work?
Does someone have a working apk of HTCFacebook?
Does not work for me either with XDAndroid FRX04 or Froyo X Red.
Right now i am using: SyncMyPix to sync Facebook contacts on my phone until this problem is resolved.
If the problem is between facebook app and phone contacts, perhaps it's because google blocked that feature. If it's between the app and facebook, no idea, it works for me.
Edit: NVM, I see what's the problem and dunno why
Keep it in the related thread
Excess threads muck up the forum.
1st i do apologize if this is in the wrong section and I have looked around the site and found 5 more posts on this subject but no answer but i will go ahead anyway!!
I was on Froyo 2.1 on my Galaxy S i cant say anymore than that because once i was home i updated via Kies i believe it is to Froyo 2.2 XXJPO base version I9000XXJPP, All i did was update via kies and i changed nothing else!!
in 2.1 and social hub it showed my facebook, messages and both my hotmail accounts, since updating it only shows facebook and messages, i can not for the life of me get it to show my hotmail accounts anymore, this as been for well over 24hrs now
I also have a gmail account that is my main account and my push account, should that be in social hub because it is not??
my hotmail accounts are set to never download, well manual download!! which i have done!
but it would be nice to get all of my things in social hub again!!
does anyone have any ideas to what i could do other than maybe going back to froyo 2.1 because it did work on that build!!
kind regards and have a great day!!

Hey Chris, I can't help you bud, but wanted to let you know you're not alone. I have exactly the same issue. It used to be a really useful app, but now I don't use it at all.
Not much of an 'upgrade' is it? I've seen other post in various places that they have the same problem, maybe it's a google thing, trying to push people into using gmail??
Did you try adding your Hotmail accounts via Contacts ->Activities ->Menu->Add account->Corporate account (for any thing other than Gmail).
I have them working fine on my SGS 2.2
Your accounts will appear in Social hub when you have added them using the 'Samsung Email' app. You should have three email apps, Gmail, Email and Samsung Email, only accounts added and used through the Samsung email app will appear in Social Hub.

I really appreciate the post mate, at least I know im not alone
Just bugs the hell out me that it worked, I upgraded and now nothing!
I read someone say it just started working for them a few hours after it stopped so I hope that could happen to me but still no luck as yet.
As for adding accounts via contacts, I tried that, it just takes me to accounts & sync I think it is and I added my hotmail via corporate and selected push and had all working fine but still nothing in social hub, sorry I could not quote the post above this, but sure how to quote multiple posts on this app.
should my gmail account show up social hub?

I have no idea what the samsung email app is, I was lead to believe that to get them in social hub we have to add email in the email app, little white envelope with the green @ sign which I did in 2.1 and all worked but in 2.2 I did exactly the save but but working, I have never added via samsung email and I had it working on froyo 2.1
I don't have a samsung app
Of course I can live without it, just it really bugs me that it worked but now won't and now only shows message and facebook even though I have gmail and 2 other hotmail accounts set up on my SGS
Thanks for all your replies guys.

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.

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.

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
