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

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.

Unable to synchronise Facebook contact

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.

Facebook Issue

After I installed the new Facebook for android application (1.5.1) on my DHD device I can not check my notifications.
Every time I launch the facebook application it tells me there was an error "connection reset by peers".
Any solutions ?

Maybe try to delete cache for facebook

I tried deleting data and cache and still does not work.
Update: Uninstalling the update and going back to the older version. All notification working properly
Still need to find a solution to get the notifications and syncing issues solves on the new version.

so i am using the older facebook application version because the new version give me the same error "connection reset by peer".

do u know how to downgrade back to the 1.5version?

To uninstall the updates. Goto applications -> select facebook -> u'll have a button saying un-instal updates.
This should push u back to v1.5.0

So is it solved now?

Update:
The new facebook application works fine of Wifi. Receive all notifications and updates.
It is only on Mobile(3G) internet that the facebook application shows me the error.

I get the same error pretty frequently. I usually just log on to Facebook using Dolphin Browser.
The Facebook Android app needs a lot of work to catch up to the Apple version.

I hate that I can't upload pics to someone's wall. I can do it on the iPhone...
And I have a problem with showing notifications but they won't go away after checking them.

i got the same problem with version 1.5.1 ("Connection reset by peer")
i also tried deleting cache and so on. did not help.
version 1.5 is working good, but it does not have chat, like 1.5.1
so i want 1.5.1 to work.
i've got the problem since two days now. i was using 1.5.1 before and everything worked well, but suddenly it did not -.-
if someone finds a solution, please post it

still no solution so far. Works perfectly fine on Wifi. Its only on 3G network that the notifications don't show up.

Gmail APP

Did anyone else experienced disappearing task bar caused by Gmail App notifications? As soon as I get new email and get a notification, my bar disappears. I hope I'm not the only one.

SKORPiO1975,
Yes, this is a known issue. What happens is the Gmail App sends a notification to the upper Status
Bar and since the Kindle Framework is different than the stock ICS Framework it causes the bar
to disappear as it attempts to post a new message icon into the Kindle Framework. The solution
is simple:
1. Upgrade to Gmail 4.1.2 by installing the attached Gmail apk
2. Open the Gmail Settings, choose Message Actions
3. Change to Do Not Show
4. This solves the problem.

thank you prokennexusa the gmail app you linked above. I downloaded the one from the play store earlier and it kept crashing. I haven't encountered any problem w/ your version yet. Also, do you have an ICS version of the contacts and calender that i can use w/ gmail? because I don't want to use the stock email program I deleted my accounts on it, and now the contacts is all empty. something got screwed up here.
I can't wait for the day when I can replace all this amazon crap w/ a clean CM rom.
thank you!

You need to install the previous versions and don't let them update. They'll work fine.

Facebook now works fine with the latest essential update.
