Hi, I tried searching for something like this on xda and I couldn't find anything. On my galaxy s2 the calendar app just doesn't sync with my Google mail account. I go into calendar it asks me to go to he Google account sync setting to sync calendar, even though the tick box for sync calender is checked, I click sync now anyway. After it has finished I go back to the calendar app, and it asks me to do the the same thing again. My contacts and even wallpaper form my old phone were synced propyl from my Google account but not my calendar. I just can't seem to find any reason why it isn't working. I've never had any problems like this before on my old rooted htc desire, where was flashing new roms weekly, so why on my galaxy s2. Would someone be able to help me please?
Just wanted to say I have the same problem, hopefully someone can help us.
I think it might be the Samsung social hub, together with the inability if kies to sync with google, and an assumption that you might want to use kies (or a lack of testing with the google calendar)
Try removing your social hub facebook account, and maybe deleting all the calendar data on the phone (under settings/applications/calander) so long as you are confident you have nothing stored locally without a backup.
I find the social hub facebook integration useless at the moment, since it doesn't hide declined invitations for me, so I'm going back to trying the google integration (which means i get birthdays spamming my calendar instead)

I have never used the Social Hub or Kies or even set any calender events on the phone itself but just clearing the calender data did fix the problem, and my Google calender events started syncing.
Thanks

Hi, i had the same issue and i am using a uk generic rom unrooted. problem seems to have corrected itself now. Wat seemed to cure it for me was to sync over my mobile network instead of wifi.

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?
Did anyone find a way to sync back facebook information to google contacts? If you get birthdays, email and phone numbers from facebook in your phone, it would be great to have that back in google contacts when using the desktop.
Even when properly linked, this kind of information is only in the phone and gets lost, when you loose a contact as facebook friend.
Did anyone find a way to sync it back and preserve this information?
I looked already from Pontius to Pilatus on the web and can't find anything. ;(
Looks like nobody found any way yet...hmmmmm. :-/
Hm i think that you shoud sync phone contact with facebook, using Facebook aplication from market, and then try synching phone contact with google, I think this will work. Cause it works both ways, Google -> phone an Phone->google. Then if your contact list in the phne doest include contact photos from facebook, you should google for aplication Facebook Sync, or try to find it on market, this aplication will sync contacts photos, based on name comparisn. I hope this will help you.
Unfortunately that's what doesn't work at all. It should in theory.
But Facebook information is not synced back to Google Contacts this way. It's only in your phone. If you loose the facebook friend or they just deactivate their profile, you will loose the facebook link and the bits of info (email, phone numbers, birthdays) that may come with it.
It looks like the facebook info is not stored in the phone contact application (htc's 'people' app), but in a separate data base. It's really just a 'link' and nothing else. To be fair, it doesn't look like a pure htc sense problem, as stock android also doesn't do it.
the cool thing to do is to have an app that will copy the facebook info permanently to the contacts
check this tool out, maybe it helps AddressBookSync
or for windows try Fonebook
you could try also: memotoo which is webbased like soocial
or this greasemonkey script: facebook_phonebook_export.user.js
Hey I've managed to sync facebook birthday data about my friends into google account with app called EboBirthday Sync, it is free on market, and download a plugin EboBirthday Contact Sync too.
Thanks for the tips! Now we just need something to sync back emails and phone numbers from facebook back to google contacts.
There is today an article in golem.de, a german online magazine, that google would love to connect a new service called Google Me with facebook contacts and data. They are asking for facebook to open up for that.
Lol, what a joke! We have that data already in our google phones. Just add the option to sync it back to Google Contacts for gosh's sake!
No need for another 'buzz' or 'wave'.
Edit: and here is the WSJ article, golem was referring to.
I synced my contacts yesterday but now I have duplicates of every contact. Plus it's a shame that pictures don't sync.

Facebooks TOS does not allow for that, that's what they want Facebook to open up.
Any source for that info? I mean, the facebook info is in our phones already.
Is that not a violation of the TOS then also? I just want to have a backup of that data.
And if google can't do it, some modder should be able to, no?
Ah, that's frustrating! ;(

I'm using SyncMyPix to sync facebook photos with my contacts, seems to work okay, found on Market.
3 years gown the road - has anything changed? No!!
It's end of 2013 now, more than 3 years and the problem still persists.
Whenever I set up my phone or flash a new ROM, Facebook will mess up my phonebook with duplicate entries for the same person.
Did anyone find a way meanwhile, to extra emails and phone numbers from the Facebook contacts and sync them back into Google Contacts?
I can't believe this annoying problem hasn't bothered any capable programmers until now?
After I updated to froyo the sync from jorte to google stopped working. When i creat a new event in jorte it never shows up at google calendar. But i can see it in the stock android calendar. creating an event in stock calendar syncs to google ok. Jorte does sync from google calendar.
Tried reinstalling jorte, and also tried clear data in "calendar storage". still same problem..
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to JPC (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769400 ) no tasks that are created with an third party app ar synced with Google
I use also some other Apps (Quickaddroid, Log 2 Calendar)
But no Task is synced. After editing with the Stock Calendar the Tasks ar synced but this cant be the Solution
Any Ideas?
Have also tried an Factory Reset and Disk cache wipe but no success.

- New events created in Jorte (use google calendar mode) -> not synced to Google calendar, but does show up on stock calendar
- New events created in stock calendar -> sync ok all Jorte, Google cal, Stock cal
- New events created in Google calendar -> show up in Jorte, stock cal
It seems like this problem is quite widespread, but there doesn't seem to be a solution. I'm having the EXACT same problem as described above and have found many similar issues posted on other boards, but no one seems to have an answer.
For the time being, I'm only using Jorte as a calendar viewer and entering events in my stock calendar. A bit of a nuisance, but that's the only way I can ensure everything's synced and showing up everywhere.
Okie dokie, I think I figured it out, at least in my instance of the problem anyway.
It was my task killer. I rarely turn my phone off and hadn't realized that it killed my Accounts & Sync process so when I restarted my phone I made sure to add it to my ignore list and VOILA, problem solved.
Hopefully most everyone else was experiencing the same problem and can fix it this way.
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...

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.
Hey,
as I realized last week that my facebook events and birthdays are not in sync, i checked the account sync's status, apparently it had failed to sync and still did. Then I deleted my sync account and tried to set it up again. But this failed too:
After entering my login data for a new integrated facebook account, it just reports "Incorrect email address". I am 100% sure this data I used is the same as in a browser.
Using the facebook account delivered with the official facebook app works, but can only sync contacts, not the calendar. Can anyone at least confirm it is no general bug to the samsung delivered account style?
Thanks!

Seems to have a few bugfixes.

I did, even though this should not change anything (and it didn't).
My issue is with the Samsung distributed version of the facebook sync (which used to work even without a facebook app installed)
I'm having a similar problem with Facebook calendar:
Recently I changed my email address in Facebook, after that I removed my Facebook account on the SGS that contained the old email and created a new one with the new email address. Contacts are syncing fine but in Calender no events from Facebook appear.
Going into Calender settings I can see that it is trying to sync to my old Facebook email.
Is there any way I can get calendar to sync to my new email address?

Hi guys,
I had the same problem when I updated my rom.
You probably need to clear the cache of the phone by using the 3 button combo option of the phone.

That's very strange, normally clearing cache always worked for me... Then I dunno what else to suggest... But keep us posted if you find out the solution to the problem.

Of course I will. Since I have a custom rom (Darky Rom 10.2) I confirmed with a buddies identical phone that it is basically working, so no ( at least totally) rom related issue.
I just hope to avoid my last resort, that is reflashing.
EDIT: Solved it. Never trust those lists of system app's purpose. Apparently one of those 3 is important to register this kind of sync account, not to run it: Dlna, GoogleFeedback, Layar, MtpApplication.
As I cleaned them after setting up the rest of my phone (to make sure everything is still working, with obviously backfired), I never realized that problem, so for people that mess around with their phones, don't forget to check those messy areas (and don't forget them like I did)
Thanks for the help!
