Hello everybody!
I'm using official I9505VJUAMDM firmware (the latest update for Brazil ZTO) and I am having some trouble with Google contacts sync. As you can see in the following screenshot, everything syncs fine, but not Google contacts. It keeps trying to sync over and over again, keeping the phone awake and heavily draining battery life. If I disable the option to sync Google contacts, it works fine.
I've already tried to remove Google account and adding it again, and even made hard reset, but the problem still persists. Is there a fix for that?
I'm also facing the same problem

It just keeps saying "Sync is currently experiencing problems" It happened two days ago. I try to fix with factory reset but it doesn't help.I try to sync with my friend account with no luck. Does anyone experience this problem?

Facebook sync doesn't seem to be working anymore. Others are experiencing this so I'm guessing it's the same for every GS owners.
Maybe you right, Davith.
I see other experience problems on Samsung Galaxy S facebook page.
I contact Samsung service but it seems they can't fix my problem.
I suspect that there are problems with Samsung mobile application on facebook.

first i am using built in app to sync contacts - not working
fb 1.3.1 syncing but inside contacts visible as unknown contacts with no photos...
Do not install 1.3.1 FB app!!!!!
if you do, NEVER tell it to sync your contacts.
use only the internal built in sync feature of the SGS!
Check thread #7695544 as well
Yep,
having the same issue as well..
I have the same problems with facebook and sync. How can i fix that??
just a suggestion, you can uninstall the facebook app from market
boot to recovery mode, wipe the data and also wipe the cache
then use the build in Samsung facebook app
I've given up on Facebook sync. It hasn't been working for about two weeks now. SyncMyPix is the way to go if you want to get your contacts' pictures.
Funny thing, it just started to work for me again.. Anyone else?

same here, I thought by doing some stuff like setting a new fb password, cache clearing and such I had resolved the prob, but maybe it was some general problem caused by facebook itself, not caused by any phone settings.
Well, it started working out of nowhere, let's hope it lasts ;o)

Finallyyyy,
I got crazy trying to fix that f****** issue
100% sure it was Facebook's fault
Just started working here as well. GG Facebook.
I just updated to JVB using ODIN. Then i rooted with latest cf root for JVB.
After that i tried to add Facebook account to my phone (Built in facebook account).
but it keeps on giving an error saying Login Failed. Samething happens when i try to add twitter account.
But with Facebook app for android i can login successfully...
anyone facing this issue????
Yes!
I have the SAME problem... Really bugging me...
Same with twitter as well
Sooo annoying... The facebook integration is one of the key features of the Galaxy S...
I'm still on XXJVK and have the same problem, think it may be a server problem rather than ROM
It's well documented on the net that Google removed facebook syncing with contacts with the 2.3.3 update on the nexus s. Might be related.
That would definitely suck.

Email cant add yahoo accounts either. This is not the case in jvk.
**Fixed**
Just install email.apk from jvk

.. Thought it was a problem with my installation..... Lets hope itll get fixed soon...
Coz i dunt think its a issue with 2.3.3 coz it worked fine in jvk...

Are u using the built in SNS accounts to add fb and twitter or are you using the fb and twitter apps downloaded from market?
because the problem is only with SNS account. FB Android app works flawlessly.

I think that because the service wont let you connect to the fb/twitter service... cos of that it cant get the new data. Whatever you restored from the backup will show up. Thats just what i think....

I found this problem on friday...
everybody surf by chrome firefox or ie to m.facebook.com
use the browser that you don't connect usually to facebook... and than try to connect to facebook...
they an problem on their servers...
than try to install on your SGS hacked browser and use desktop agent... now you will succeed to connect facebook
have a good week
i also flashed JVB and did a factory reset...
now installed facebook from marked and would set up my account.
It displays an empty EULA field with accept/decline button.
But on this moment the app hangs and crashes. I removed the app and installed the app again, but the same behavior.
EDIT: Ok, after a reboot of my fone the app works and I have no login problem!
Well I'm having the same problem as you guys, though I'm using a I9003 and just did a factory reset!
Seems to be like Samsung's server or facebook/twitter has some problem, especially with so many people logging in after updating...
I revert to JVK and got the same problem
i Guess Samsung has a problem with SNS server
especially that Facebook tell me tht you some one loged in from a samsung mobile device
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.

So the number 1 battery hog by far on my g2 is google contacts sync. Its basically never letting my g2 sleep. FWIW I checked in accounts and there's an error showing that sync is experiencing problems and hasn't updated since I bought it.Any idea on what's going on?
yeah a bad luck situation. delete account and resetup sync for one account, let it sync and then add another if you have multiple.
If that doesnt work you might need to go into settings, apps and then wipe contacts and then contacts sync and then resetup again the sync.
Thats whats worked on old phones I had
My contacts haven't been syncing since the 28th either, don't know what gives
Just had the same issue. I was getting massive idle battery drain; ~ 13% just sitting overnight whereas my GNex drained ~2-3% overnight. Went to app manager and cleared data on contacts and contacts storage. Then re-synced and it seems to be working again. Not sure what happened?

I am on stock. I downloaded an app called "contacts sync fix" that will go through and fix errors in your contacts so they will sync again. May not be a permanent solution, however the contacts sync is no longer leading my wakelocks.
Hi. I'm new here so I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this. I was using crash rom and I seem to have a problem with syncing and restoring from Samsung account. I got the error that says sync error and server is busy. I flashed x note and I never encountered this problem. Each time I flash crash rom with full wipe, I will always have this problem. Anyone can shed some light to my problem?
Retry the account. It usually fails first time. It did for me when I logged into my Samsung account

You mean deleting my Samsung account and readding it back? I did that previously but i'm unable to get it to sync and restore. All 4 sync options like contacts, Internet, calendar and scrapbook have the red exclamation mark beside it.
Yeah.. that should fix it. Unless your phone is having connection issues. - it's also possible Samsung sync is down - I don't use it anymore so can't verify

I've tried removing and adding my account several times now but it doesn't seem to work. I also tried flashing with and without full wipes but it doesn't change. When I flash X note back, it could sync and restore normally. Weird.
