I am having the same issue. It syncs the calendar fine, but not the contacts. I would like to have the Facebook profile pics sync to my contacts just like on my HD2. I had the issue before and after root so I know it isn't that.

still doesnt work?
Day two, still wont sync. I have facebook enabled in contacts, it just shows a group with 0 people in it. It syncs my calendar just fine, but wont sync contacts for some reason.
The strangest part is that it used to, but after I reformatted it wouldnt.
Ive tried; Deleting and re-adding FB account at least a dozen times, and Menu -> sync/cancel/sync/cancel brute force approach that worked with other phones.
my facebook widget stopped auto updating even though its set for like every 2 hours the last posts i see are from this morning.
in fact if i click the manual green sync arrows it attempts to sync but nothing happens.
i already have done a battery pull today.
My facebook and twitter contacts both won't sync. And I have two sets of twitter contacts, one from the widget and one from the twitter app.

Got that too, but mine sync at least... sort of. I had to manually link contacts that were first linked automatically when I first set up my phone.
Same problem wont sync. Checked of and everything
I'm having the same issue, i'm curious all of you who are having problems did you experience them after the root?
My contacts synced fine when I first got the phone but have since stopped syncing (if I check under accounts and sync in setting I see an error) This issue existed for me both before and after root.
Synced fine before I rooted but tbh the phone was unrooted for about 10 minutes after initial setup. The second I got home I rooted and wiped.

guys. read the message on your phone. it says "sync is down right now temporarily" when you try to sync and look at specific status. I'm guessing this is more a samsung or android thing than "your specific phone".
Right beneath manage accounts it says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Notice the sync icon with the red exclamation mark next to it
I have not rooted yet, and I'm still having sync issues.
I really think they rushed getting the phone out to compete with the droid x, moving the release date up a week. Hopefully this issue, the gps/compass, and 3g get addressed in a OTA update soon. I saw the droid x was already scheduled to have one.

I had the same problem. It just starting working now. I did not do anything. they must have fixxed something.
Having this issue as well. The weird thing is that when i add Facebook to the accounts list in settings, it updates the feeds widget with facebook statuses, and they are also listed in the contacts app, that last menu that gives you the various social feeds. However it cannot sync the actual contacts, must have tried 15 times today.
I was reading on another forum that someone found a solution that seemed to be working for people, but only if you were able to get it synced before and in some way either removed the account or the contacts and cannot resync. This didn't work for me as I didn't fall under that category, but I hope this can help someone.
1. Turn on background sync in settings.
2. Go into the main contacts window, and instead of hitting accounts to check the sync or whatever, hit menu at the main screen and choose "Find Friends"
3. Tap on Facebook. If you were able to sync before, it should work. If you are like me and was never able to sync, the box will be greyed out.

This worked wonders...Thanks!
I'm having a similar issue with my twitter contacts. I can manually add a few via the method offered above, but the account doesn't seem to find some of them (including my girlfriend's, which is particularly frustrating).

I had same issue with contacts sync with facebook images. But i found a work around. When you add facebook accounts and sync. Enable fackbook contacts and facebook contact images. Now it will dump all your facebook contacts to your phone, but it will categorize it. once you do that, it will link your say "gmail contact" and "facebook" contacts together, On the contacts that you have different nicknames, you can click on the contact and select linked contact, select facebook and choose your friends contact info and now my images matches. Looks better now. Hope i only have to do this once.
Good Luck and this is my first post.

Anyone has any issue with Google Contact Sync? It says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Several methods I've tried before:
1. Delete the Google account and add again
2. Clear data from "Contacts Storage"
3. Enable all google related services that I have disabled before (Google Newstand, Google Book and etc)
It seems that I can only download the contacts the first time I add the account, but any edit I make on the phone won't sync back to Google.
Can't find any other new method from Google result...

Go to contacts (not with phone but contact app) go to settings then account and see if Google is there
Yes it is there, along with other stuff like Whatsapp, Samsung, Facebook etc. I have tried removing Google, re-add again, and then tweak one contact on my phone, and then go back to the setting > account > google to check, and there it is, "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" on the Contact part..
I was wondering if you got anywhere on this when you had the issue? I am having a similar problem.
I have two questios related to the above
1. There is an item named "Cloud" in the lower part of the account section.
What is it good for?
2. I am using two applications bought thru google play store
one syncs the contact list and
one is supposed to sync photos, downloads, etc.
to my ownCloud server at home.
Both applications work.
However, when the phone turns off because of drained battery or restarts after OTA updates the information for both accounts are gone. Such accounts have to be added again.
Why is this and is there a way to save and restore such account details without using any backup app? Where does Android 4.4.2 store or save such account information?

Folks
Not sure what has happened but the contacts on my watch (LG Watch Urbane, AW 5.1.1) do not sync any more
When I swipe to the contacts section it says "No contacts found"
Anyone know why ? or how to force a sync ?
Thanks
Folks
Sorry - solved it (I think)
It only displays contacts from the phones recent calls list rather than all the contacts
Thanks

I noticed that too. I guess it takes less time to sync that way, but it doesn't help if you want to call someone you haven't called for awhile.
For your contacts with multiple numbers, are they categorized correctly. Others and myself have noticed that they're all wrong, i.e. work displays as mobile, etc.

I just checked mine and the categories are still wrong. Before I got the Urbane, I was using Watch Phone from the Play Store and will still use it instead. It lists all contacts and the phone numbers are listed correctly. Check it out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.psksoft.watchphone
Edited....
hey - i had some problems with "ok google" and did this
- make sure you have contacts backed-up to google
- settings -> accounts -> google -> touch your account to show all the sync settings
- unclick contacts
- settings -> apps -> all -> contacts : wipe cache and data and force stop the apps
- do the same as above with contacts storage
- settings -> accounts -> google -> touch your account to show all the sync settings
- click contacts
- wait until sync completes and it should work
this worked for me when I was getting no contacts available when using "ok google"
I hope it helps you too
The only contacts that show on the watch is the contacts you favorite on your phone. To remove a contact just remove it from your favorites.

Hi, as mention in my tittle, my settings keep reverting to default as if the changes don't get saved. For e.g. Assessibility, I have changed setting to enable apps with gestures to have access but after a few hrs. It request for the same permission. The same occurs with Google play games and I can't access it in battery saver mode? Is this a bug or something? Currently using JOYUI, most updated version.
Yep, this has been brought to their attention. It's been documented.
Google Calendar not syncing {option does not even appear}
When I look into permission manager or battery management, I always allow "googleCalendarSync" and all other google services to be check. Especially for autostart features. However, I just can't seem to get the calendars to sync. When I look it over under accounts> google> calendar does not appear at all. I have contacts, play services etc but not for calendar? Does anyone know what is wrong with it ? or has a fix assuming its googleCalendarSync issue?
Is it on demo mode? Hmm

its not on demo mode, I own a xiao mi mi 6 so I am familar with the battery management features and auto-start permission to allow notifications from telegram, email and whatsapp. All works except calendar where under SYNC, google, calendar does not appear at all. I also can't add other calendars under the default calendar app. Any updates fixing this?
You can fix the calendar sync issue by first uninstalling rhe google calendar sync in apps list, then install google calendar from play store.
Once that is done, the other calendar accounts will appear in your calendars app
