Facebook Sync not working?

I'm running a custom ROM but it's a stock ROM, with Darchstars GodMode overclocked kernel. Also, I'm using Launcher Pro and not Sense. My problem is that for some reason, my Facebook contacts will not sync... I'm using the stock method for syncing contacts (Account and Sync; Facebook for HTC Sense)
Thanks

Swyped from my Sprint Hero via XDA app.

You can download syncmypix (it's free). Wham, bam, thank you sir

Go to Facebook->Application Settings and remove HTC Sense. Then delete the Facebook sync from settings and add it again. This might fix it but I'm still waiting for it to sync.
Nevermind, didn't work.

It is working for other androids. It seems to only be a problem with 2.0+ syncing.
When I first got my phone (Vibrant) on 7/15 it worked fine then it didnt give me updates so i tried removing then re-adding facebook to accounts and sync and it no longer works, even tried doing a factory reset. Still nothing. So it went from working fine, to not working for some reason.

If you re-added your account or did a first sync after it stopped working, it won't work. If it was already working before it should still work.

I take it it's still broken. I just installed Fresh Rom, and it still will not sync my contacts.

Yep, HTC has said to try doing one of the following:
1. Try adding a city and state to your current job in Facebook.
2. Try deleting your current company in Facebook.

Doesn't work either.

I just got mine to synch up. Might want to give it a try now and see if it works for you. I went about it a round about way but it is working and Friendstream is showing content from facebook again.

How did you get it to work? It isn't working for me.

I guess I am not as lucky

You know this is pretty sad but I can't seem to figure out how exactly I did it. I went into a contact under People and was messing with the picture somehow and it gave an option for facebook. Signed in from there. Since I did it there I have been able to remove my facebook account from accounts and sync and then add it from there.
Edit:
It's working for live updates but doesn't seem to work for synching contacts though. My list of Facebook contacts is blank when I try to link an existing contact with a Facebook contact.

You can use syncmypix from the market. I'm using it as a temporary workaround.

Yea I found that today. It works pretty good.

Started working again about 5 mins ago. Finally.

Yea looks like they are getting it straightened out. Just noticed a little bit ago that my contacts were syncing with facebook again.

[Solved]Calendar app not syncing with Google Calendar

I just recently got my Desire Z and I realized my phone is not syncing with my Google calendar. I tried searching but can't find a solution. I'm on Android 2.2 (1.34 Bell).

just happened to see your post, even tho I have a different Android phone. have you gone into accounts and synching, and made sure your calendar synching is still enabled. otherwise, when my Gmail isn't synching, I have fixed it by going into my apps>manage applications>running apps., and clearing the data in Gmail and Gmail storage...... it wipes the data in my Gmail on the phone and re-synchs with the Google server, and then it starts working normally. I imagine it is the same for the calendar.
now if it doens't synch back up right away, then it may be a problem connecting to the network, or whatever else, but it should work. just wanted to warn you that it WILL wipe your calendar data from your phone until it synchs back up. hope this helps..

Hey, thanks for the suggestion. I did that but it didn't work. I think it's not syncing properly but don't know how to fix it. Maybe I'll try a factory reset and see how that works.

oh damn, ok, I hope that works. I just tried mine, and it seems to be synching ok. are you on a stock or custom ROM?

Still on stock rom. I haven't rooted yet.
EDIT: The factory reset did the job. Thanks. Was hoping I had a way to fix it without reset so I don't have to set up the phone again.

ah ok, so the whole factory reset did it then. glad to hear that at least.

can't sync twitter account contacts

the feature was working just fine before I decided to do a fresh installation of nexusbeam 4.2.3 rom, now I can't sync my twitter account contacts.
I tried to rollback to nexusbeam 4.0.3 to sync twitter contacts but with no luck
I would post this in the NexusBeam thread but I still don't have sufficient post to access the reply feature

actually i had the same problem with a couple of ics roms so went back to cm7.1 and had the problem. In my case it did still sync the contacts just gave the error had to check and uncheck it a couple of times though, so it may be something with twitter.

rolling back to CM7 didn't fix it either, I suspect a leftover preference file from another ROM or something like that is causing the problem.
i will try to do another fresh of stock ROM and report back if it worked.

This seems to be a server-side problem, I can't sync contacts on my Nexus S with stock ICS (4.0.3), even though I didn't change any settings.
This problem started on Friday.

Same here (on cm7)
Previously (on stock rom) whenever I clicked on the twitter link of any contact in my list I would get an error about twitter not being available.
So contact sync never worked correctly for me

my xperia play sync the contacts without any problem, I think the problem might be related to Google devices only. hope they will fix this soon

Same here. It started Friday. Must be a Twitter problem. I can't sync my contacts on my Nexus S or my Xoom since Friday.

Got the same problems.
I re-installed the stock ICS package (no custom roms, no mods, only the same kernel - Matr1x - I had before wiping) and once I tried to sync my Twitter account it said "Unable to sync etc etc"...
Tried again after a few hours and today again but it keeps saying "unable to sync, connect, rofltrolol and so on..."
Nice to see that I'm not the only one having this problem.
PS: before I re-installed ICS, I did a proper wipe (system, data, boot and so on) so I don't think there is any trace of the previous ROM (however, the previous installation was the same IML74K I set up yesterday, so dunno...)

I thought I was the only one with this problem lol. I was messing around with the sync settings and thought I broke it by accident.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon. It was working a few days ago (or at least since my last full wipe)

Had the same problem did nothing now it is working :s

anyone got this syncing issue solved ?

still not working here...

I don't think it's something we can solve. I think it's something Twitter has to solve.

Ditto. I have an HTC Vivid, stock and unrooted, and this problem started happening on my phone last Friday, 1/20.
Contacts still won't sync. Having read the other posts here, I tried creating a new twitter account in order to determine if it was related to settings associated with my account. I had the same issue with the brand new account.
To be clear-- Messages (tweets) sync just fine, and my account is accessible through the Twitter app, but the contacts added previously to my list by Twitter do not sync.

The issue is with the app-- Not your phone.
Just out of curiosity, I checked the comments on the app, itself, in the android market.
Anyone who is unsure if the contacts sync issue is with the app or some fouled up setting on your phone should check out those comments. You can see them for yourself here.
Multiple complaints that the latest update to the app prevents contacts from being sync'd.
The bad news is you won't get twitter updates on your contact list ("people" app on many android phones) and unless you uncheck the option in accounts, there will be a consistent "fail" warning.
The good news is, the app works fine outside of that one feature and the error is related to the app and not your phone or settings.
I'm sure there will be an update soon enough. In the meantime, just uncheck the sync option or ignore the error warning.

Google Calendar Sync problem

Does anyone have issues with syncing google calendar on newer Flyme versions as well???
It says syncing, but nothing shows up in calendar.

I'm on version 1.0.3 quad core, syncs fine.

if the sync isn't working try disable/enable the sync or delete the account restart and add account again. after a few times it should work. one user said it worked after he disabled the google recovery feature. i reported this issue to meizu already.

Google Calendar Sync
Hi Everyone, this is my first post.
I too have the same calendar sync problem with the new Meizu MX2. I have tired everything that people have posted and still nothing is working. Google Calendar still crashes all the time and the Meizu Calendar still does not show my calendar even though it says it has synced.
Anyone have any suggestions??
Many Thanks

Contacts: No "merge with Google" available in China ROM - How to sync?

Hello,
It took me a while to understand that the Contact app in the Chinese Stock ROM is somehow customized.
Since Google Play Store and Gmail apps are not installed here then I managed to get them and pushed them to system/app. Fine, can access GMail and the app store using my gmail account.
However, although I've set in <Acoount> my Google account to sync People details, there is no freakin way to sync them in the Contacts app. No "Merge with Google" item to select, only Samsung. So frustrating!!
Does anybody know how to sync the contacts? I'm not talking about importing.
Otherwise do you think I should try to get from a fellow SGS4 owner the official (and not restricted) Contacts apk (btw is this SecContacts.apk?)
thanks a lot for your help
L.

Nobody? :crying:

I have the same issue. Just bought a samsung in China and I'm unable to sync google contacts.
I've downloaded the GoogleContactsSuncAdapter.apk and will install onto my phone tonight. Hopefully this will work. Will let you know how it goes.

Well, how did that go lavive? Cause I'm having the same problem

I didn't a way until now
Maybe we'd better look for a contact apk from a Samsung's international Stock ROM, and replace the one from the Chinese Stock ROM.
