[Q] Anyone having facebook problems?

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums, and I just picked up my vibrant two days ago... my twitter sync works perfectly, but my facebok one unfortunately doesnt... none of my contacts pictures show up, and theres no sync to their account...
what i tried was downloading the facebook app and now when i click to view a contacts profile, it only takes me to mine, and the pictures STILL dont show up...
Does anyone have any advice they can please offer? I'm a major facebooker for business and the sync was one of the main selling points for me... am I doing something wrong or should I exchange my vibrant for a new one?
Thanks!!

It wouldn't be a problem with the device itself I think. My contacts do show their profile pictures and status updates but it hasn't been retrieving data for a couple days so I'm assuming It's just a server issue. Give it a couple days and see what turns up

Same here... it hasn't updated anything in days, so my dumbass deleted the account and added it again, but that only made it worse, cuz now it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" so I guess I can only wait now... I am not sure, but I think this happened after I did an update to the app, but I am not sure

Mine did this as well for a couple of days when I first got the phone. Then it just randomly synced one day, so from my understanding, it's on Facebook's end, not your phone.

Damn Facebook lol.

Lost all facebook contacts

So something happened today after a power cycle, i lost all my facebook contacts under my contact page. In the end its not that big of a deal becuase i believe i backed them all up to google... I did however enjoy the ability to use the updates tab under everyones name before calling them so i was up to date. I also liked having the up to date pics of them via facebook. So i double checked and made sure facebook was still syncing everything under the contacts, and it was. However everyones facebooks contact is just outright gone now. Not just missing pictures or not displaying updates... gone.
I cant seem to find a way to reenable this. Any ideas?

I was showing my cousin (iphone user) how cool that was but it was missing.

This happened to me also. Resynchronizing them doesn't seem to do anything. It sucks. I thought that I could go into Groups under contacts and add them all again, but there isn't any option to add contacts to the preexisting groups. That's actually the only part of TouchWiz that's really pissed me off so far. It would be great if someone could figure out how to fix this.

Do you think the update to Facebook caused this?

See at first i thought it might have had something to do with the facebook update. but i had not updated my facebook at the time. I hage since then thinkinkijg it would fix the problem, but it has not helped at all.
Contacts are still MIA for me at this point. Anyone got ideas?

Lost all Facebook contacts? That sounds more like a feature than a bug

[Q] Gmail delayed pushing?

Is anyone else getting delayed pushes from Gmail? The time I receive the email can vary anywhere from instantly, to minutes later.
I've been doing testing by comparing it to K9. K9 consistently gets every single email instantly.
Anyone else experience the same problem?

Yep. I get mines on my tablet before on my Nexus 4

Gmail has always, since 2009, done this to me. Anything that comes directly into my gmail account I get almost instantly but any thing from my forwarded accounts takes up to 30 minutes as gmail doesn't querry the other servers that frequently. I haven't found any way to make gmail querry my other email servers more frequently.

Op, is this just on WiFi? Or does it also happen on mobile network?

This happens to me with WhatsApp

This is on WiFi with a very strong connection. I don't have service yet so I can't test mobile data yet.

You are probably just losing your WiFi connection. Google it. A few of us on here have the problem of losing connection to Google services after a few minute of screen off while on WiFi.

No I'm not losing my wifi connection. My original post states that I am doing the exact same test with K9. K9 gets it instantly, gmail always lags behind.

This happens more frequently on the N4 than any other Android device I've owned. Something is up with the Google Sync on it. On both wifi or HSPA(AT&T), my gmail is delayed, google voice too. Yesterday, I had a message sent to me on purpose to see how long it would take and waited 40 minutes for it arrive...I had to manually refresh Gmail for it to show up. I've gone through all the auto-sync and sync settings in gmail and in settings(data usage and google account). I'm running CM10.1 nightlies on it, so I wonder if it's on that end. To try this, send yourself an email, the first one might push...send another one in about 30 secs to 1 minute after you send the first...it won't show up immediately like the first one did...If the first one showed up immediately at all. Seriously unreliable push...gFail.

I have the same issue with my N4. Is there a fix for this? I have to manually refresh gmail every time. My tablet gets the emails much faster.

Do you happen to be using a custom rom or stock?
I'm tempted to flash back stock to see if it's an issue with CM 10.1 nightlies.
A temporary fix, which I'm using, is to use a different email client. I'm using K9 and it gets the emails instantly. However, I'd rather use Gmail's app since the interface/interactions are much nicer.

Not sure that's a CM 10.1 issue or not. Coz I am using vanilla jelly bean (4.2.1) and updated my gmail app to 4.2.1 as well, having the same issue.
I setup the same Gmail address on stock e-mail app using exchange server settings, email pushed and notified me almost instantly. So I suspect that's a glitch of the gmail app.

So I think I have found a preliminary fix for it. I have read other threads about sycing problems with Gmail, but can't comment on those. I sometimes keep Google Now on when on Wifi, but turn it off when out and about. I think this MIGHT be causing a lack of sync. When I checked to see if my gmail was synced it was not.
I have since kept Google Now off and see that I have no problems with getting my mails in as they come. It is faster than my tablet now.
Hope it helps.

I have tried, still no joy, i even tried to factory reset my Nexus 4, but still having freaking bad delay...
hooking onto the same WiFi, my iPhone and the One X+ both get the push email without delays. Even more worrying is that my One X+ is also using GMail 4.2.1. I starting to worry that is a hardware issue? (coz my frd's Nexus 4 do not have sync delay)

Google Contact constantly trying to Sync

Hi All,
I've just noticed on my Nexus 4 that it's constantly trying to sync google contact, I've check my Note2 and my Desire and all of them seem to be having the same issue.
Is anyone else having issues with their google contacts constantly syncing?
I've tried force closing contacts and clearing the data, then removing my accounts and re-set them up. However the issue persists!
Any help would be great.
Cheers
DK

It could be a Google server issue, how long have you been suffering this problem?

It's been happening for a day.

Did you try removing your Google account and then adding it again.
Try to only sync the contacts and calendar separately to see where the problem is

Yeah I've tried removing the accounts then adding them back but the issue persists.
I've tried to sync only the contacts and sync is still constantly trying to sync the contacts.

I'm not trying to stop sync, my issue is contacts sync is constantly try to sync without success. The last sync was one day ago.
So if I check my Google account under sync everything says it synced within the last 1 hour. But contacts says it's trying I.E, the sync icon is next to my contacts constantly with a date of last sync from one day ago.

I had the same issue as well and it seems there are many with the same problem. I think might be some bug and hopefully it will be solved by the next OTA

I've manage to resolve the issue by force closing and clearing data on: Contacts, Contacts Storage and Google+. I have not resigned into Google+ and everything has been syncing for about half a day now. I'll keep you posted if it works.

Can't sync contacts ? Tips ?

As title says , contacts won't sync , everything else does , im running CM 10.1 and I have 2 Google accounts on my nex. My secondary Google account has everything off except for emails being synced . not sure what the problem is. Last time it synced was may 22nd (as it says in the sync screen)

Wipe the data for contacts storage under all applications. Keep in mind this will permanently erase any contact info not synced to Google's servers. Then, be patient while the device redownloads all of your contacts.
I had this issue once and this fixed it.

Use my phone explorer... Google sync screws up contacts with similar second names. For eg. John Smith and Jason Smith will be grouped under Smith. J... I had a lot of confusion.. Then I bumped into mpe.. Its simple.. Its straight forward... But u need a laptop or a comp(which I assume u do) try it.. U will not regret it..
