I just got a replacement Shift and having some problems. First the contacts that were In a favorite group in the people widget all got deteleted from my exchange email.
Today I noticed that most of my contact pictures got deleted but the contacts remained.
Any thoughts on where to look to solve this?

Are you rooted? Did you do a FULL Wipe before flashing if you are rooted? What Rom are running?

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!

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.

Just did a factory wipe of my phone and now when trying to log in to Facebook for HTC Sense I am getting: The service is currently unavailable. Would you like to try again. Tried again with and without wireless to no avail.
Anyone else having this issue?
Restored back to a Nandroid backup that had been working fine, removed the Facebook for HTC Sense sync account and tried re-adding it, getting same issue. Sounds like a problem with Facebook.
Just flashed my Desire tonight and I can't sync Facebook.....it's getting me mad now.....grrrrrrr
It is ok, that is a very useless bloatware feature of Sense... Soo lucky!
I like the Facebook for HTC Sense app, it sync pictures for all of my contacts to their Facebook accounts so I don't have to. I loved that feature in MobileShell 3.5 for Windows mobile.

Heres HTC's response.....not tried it though as no doubt it won't work
In regards to Facebook I can help you with that. Please try the following steps if these do not help please contact the HTC helpline. Check People>Menu>View and confirm is the Facebook and/or the Facebook for HTC Sense is ticked. Log into there Facebook Account online and check if anything has changed. Does your password contain any unusual characters? (!ӣ$%^&*()_+) etc. Open People app>select the globe symbol>Facebook>Menu> Refresh. If you have checked all this and it fails try Home>Menu>Applications>Manage Applications >Facebook for HTC Sense>Clear Cache>Clear Data. Home>Menu>Settings >Accounts & Sync>Facebook for HTC Sense>Sync Now. I trust that this resolves your query. Please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.
kurtish your pessimism was spot on. HTC's instructions do not work.
I noticed this as well after using the OTA update leak
Just ran Across this on the XDA home page today
HTC Sense Not Playing Nice with Facebook
Followed the steps in the post and Facebook for HTC Sense now connects, but it still doesn't seem to be working properly. If I go to a contact and try to link it to a facebook contact it doesn't show any of my contacts. Definitel sounds like Facebook changed something that broke the way the HTC Facebook app interacted with it.
Functionality seems to be restored for some users now, I personally had to nandroid restore back to a few days ago pre-FB/HTC issue, but once I did that+some muddling/restarts, all contacts sync'd as they should. YMMV
I have had the same issue with sense not getting along with face book. In people, where you choose which contacts to show, I checked my contacts for face book but it showed 0 of them. After restoring any data I thought would help thru titanium, un-installing fb, re installing fb, and re booting did things seem to be back to normal.

Apparently HTC have advised some customers that the issue will be fix within 48 hours.....so give it until Christmas and we'll be able to sync again
not sure if anyone else is having this issue..but after i updated to the ota 2.2 froyo, i noticed all my contacts used their old photos instead of the ones synced with facebook.... so does that mean i have to automatically go through each contact and click default picture to facebook???
i already deleted my fb accounts and redid it many times..restarted phone..same issue...fb wont auto sync the new photos as default, so i have to go through my contacts manually to use the updated fb pics...
That's odd. I'm not sure but I think the Facebook app's syncing is goofy.
For instance here's the hoops I had to jump through.
With original 2.1, I had used the integrated Facebook contact syncing to get pics synced to my contacts. And that worked no problem.
When DK28 came out, I took the opportunity to reset my phone and redo my contacts. This time I figured "hey, the actual Facebook app contact syncing should work good so I'll use that instead". And on the surface it did. In my contacts list the proper Facebook pic was on each contact. The problem was that any txts or phone calls I either sent or received, the photos were absent...just the generic blank silhouette. So I removed the Facebook contact sync from my accounts and went back to using the the Facebook syncing from the "Integrated contact accounts" once more and now photos are displaying in txt/phone properly.
Odd that the Facebook client syncing appeared on the surface to be fine but maybe this will help you or others trying to get this to work. In your case maybe the old pics still there show up with the Facebook client sync. Hopefully the integrated Facebook sync will clear it up for you.
Search the forums for this problem. It has been answered. I just am too lazy to find the post for ya.

I have a different problem with the FB app since upgrading to DK28, but I wasn't sure if it deserved its own thread.
I can no longer stay logged in to my account. It works the first time and then every subsequent time I open the app I have to re-enter my password.
Anyone else?

i tried..it didnt solve the problem..... like i mentioned i redid the facebook accounts and restarted phone etc...didnt work....
i think its from the exporting my contacts to sd card.... it saves the current picture before exporting..so perhaps i exported my contacts several times and it saved the same default picture under the phone settings... so when i integrated my facebook in 2.2, the old photos were showing..so i had to manually erase all of the old saved photos.... i couldnt find a way to automatically do it... if you still can find the posts/threads, please post it here
Is it me or are the contact photos synced from facebook (integrated Facebook sync or through Facebook app) are low resolution? Anyway we can fix this or is this just another issue with Google?
Hello guys, I am facing a weird problem that I have never faced before. I have one week old brand new Nexus 4 and its just awesome. But some little bug in the OS is just spoiling the whole experience. I am not sure if its a bug or not but surely it shouldn't happen.
The problem is I always synchronize my contacts with gmail. So whenever I added my gmail accounts first, all of my contacts just came into my phone flawlessly. But one morning I just saw all the contacts disappeared leaving a just few which are of no use. After googling and some small rnd I found the life saving option "Restore Contacts" in gmail contacts. I got them back. Didn't know the reason but thought it would never happen again. Today again this thing happened which really pissed me off.
I have used all of the android OS starting from GB to ICS but this thing never happened. I also found that whatsapp, facebook, wechat contacts are not synchronized properly without any reason. Contacts are not properly shown under "Contacts to display" option. Guys is this problem common in JB 4.2.2 or I am missing something to properly configure my phone. Please share your views friends.

Log in to your google account through a web browser. I'll guarantee all your contacts are still there. Either you are not syncing right or you need a factory reset/flash.
Gmail contacts also deleted when they are disappeared from phone

Thanks for your reply. But let me tell you one thing the moment I saw my contacts gone in the phonebook, I checked my gmail account also. The contacts were also not there. Then I performed a "Restore" action and the contacts came into gmail address book as well as in the phone. Hope I have made the problem clear now. :crying::crying:

Yes I restored my contacts they were fine. They came back to my phonebook but without any reason they disappeared again. I had to do same restore again in the gmail to bring them back in my phonebook. I had not faced this problem before. Thats why I am confused. And moreover can you tell me why no whatsapp and wechat contacts not shown in the phonebook while all the syncs are on? Please tell me if you have any ideas...Thank you in advance.

It's pretty clear to me. The OP added his Google account to his phone, sync'ed his contacts and then some time later found that they had vanished from both phone /and/ Google. He was fortunate to be able to recover them, but the fact that he was able to does not mean that it's not an issue. Likewise, the fact that it has happened again suggests that he needs a little more support that an implied PICNIC reply....

I'd be looking into apps here - if a contact is deleted on your phone, this deletion will be sync'ed back to Google with the symptoms you've reported. Have you scoured your phone for a potential rogue here (either malicious or, more likely, buggy)...?
thanks for getting it finally
thanks daern for understanding my problem. You read my mind. This prob should not happen. Do you mean that any malicious programs are running in my phone?? or any other issue is causing this weird problem. I am not sure tomorrow morning I will see all the contacts vanished again. Its been 2 times I am facing this.

Chances are some (non Google) app on your phone, which has access to your contacts is deleting them. I would backup your storage and "factory reset" your phone. If the problem returns, try removing apps with access to your contacts.

I have a similar problem but in my case there is absolutely no doubt that it is Google deleting contacts from my Nexus 4. I do not even want my contacts synchronized or backed up on Google's servers and prefer to use the phone memory (because I use other apps to back up my contacts). The first time Google deleted my contacts from phone I realized that I had only disabled synch for "contacts" but neglected to also do it for "people" so I made sure all of that was disabled before I went and started deleting duplicate contacts from Gmail (that's right, it not only deleted it from the phone it duplicated them there). I then proceeded to restore my contacts from a .vcf file directly to the phone memory and it worked fine at first. Then, the next day, Google had AGAIN deleted all contacts and again duplicated them on Gmail. The phone has Android 4.3 and is stock other than being rooted. I am hoping to avoid having to delete the google account from the phone altogether. Any ideas?
