Hi all,
this forum is like a heaven for me , after switching from iPhone to Samsung and was stuck starching my head after purchased the NOTE 4 from CHINA .
so far i am on KITKAT , rooted , with CWM installed. I am having problem with contact sync.
i am not sure it is STOCK contact app causing this issue or the user app causing this. For example. I am using LinkedIn app , i would like this app to sync contacts with my phone book. I have few hundread contacts in linkedIn , but it is not syncing , if i try to add manually go to contact app setting and add the account of linkedIn , it shows me account with sometime empty sometime few like 10 or 20 or 39 , and sometime all disappear in the that particular group of account in contacts app.
So my question is , is this is because google is totally blocked in china , and when linkedIn send requests to Stock contact app , it has to connect with somewhere google network to let the sync happen . I am really clueless here. I was thinking to update the stock contact app but i am not sure if there is such thing available or not.
My stock contacts app showing the version number as 4.4.4-N9100ZCU1ANJ3 .
Please help me for this , i dont know its problem with linkedIn or andriod , because in my iphone linkedIn works like charm when it comes to sync new contacts and update the existing ones.
Please guide me and help me out for this matter.
Regards
and Thanks in Advance.

Hello!
I just got myself HTC HD2 and upgraded to WWE 3.14.405.2 official ROM.
I also upgraded FaceBook app to 1.1.0.26 from Marketplace.
But I don´t have all my friends listed in facebook app. I have over 500 friends, but I can`t see all of them. I go to "Friends" Tag, and click "Search" then i input the person's name which i'm trying to search and there is no results come out. In the web I have this person in my friends list!
That`s also why I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the list in conctacts !
Please help me! What I have to do?
Thanks!

Anybody having same problem?
Help needed!
Don't bother with the facebook app. It's so buggy its untrue.
The facebook mobile site works much better. Open opera and surf along to :
http://m.facebook.com
Cheers

Thanks. I have done this since now.
But I like, when my contacts have pictures and birthdays from facebook.
Thats why I would like to see it working.
But as I can see, then only thing what can help is new version of facebook app.
I have read that you never know is it coming or not at all

Ok I did some looking for you, but next time please use search. Go to this thread and this thread and check this thread out. One of the Face book apps has got to suit you. Then default app sucks, but then again what do I know I don't use facebook at all.
Thank you for reply. I have searched for a weeks already for the solutions and have seen these programs too.
But the thing is, that my HD2 syncs contacts with the original Facebook app. Right now I cant sync all my contacts with facebook because they are not in the friends list in my HD2 facebook app! To have their pictures and birthdays in my HD2 is why I need a working ORIGINAL app of Facebook

Sorry about that then, I meant no harm just see people complaining about the stupid default facebook app all the time, but usually non of them have even tried to find a better app.
This may be a really dumb question but have you tried logging out of your face book account in the app then logging back in? I have heard that has helped some people on these and other forums.
Yes I have tried that, no help
Also I have tried to reinstall that Facebook app again, no help
I don´t like this original Facebook app mutch, but since it is integrated to my HD2 and it has possibilities I like, then I would like it to work as it has to be !!!
Today I reinstalled 3.14 ROM to HD2, hoping it will change something, but nothing new. Nothing changed in Facebook.
Is there any fixed ROMs, that are similar to original, but working better then original?
If all you really want is pictures and birthdays in contacts, HTC Sense has built-in Facebook integration for that. Have you tried going to settings (in Sense not the start menu)-data services-click on Facebook under social networks and set that up? That's how I sync my contacts with my Facebook. Btw, for general Facebook browsing I highly recommend either the FIM app, the XDAFacebook app, or the m.facebook.com site as mentioned before.
Thanks for reply!
Yes, I have done this. From there I have from half on my friends pictures and birthdays already in my HD2 contacts. But in this list, what will open when I want to link someone with Facebook, there isnt half of my friends listed! Thats the problem! They arent listed in Facebook app too. Also I think, that the Facebook app and HD2 Social Network systems are connected to eachother. When one is not working then the other is also crap
Still no solution for my problem!!! Anyone?

i think it has something to do with your friends' privacy settings. if they have platform applications disabled, you will not see their name, photo, id, anything. i have some contacts that are not showing up either, though.
quick question: when you go to htc album, select any friend's facebook album, and browse images, do they download for you guys? i have troubles for 2 days with those now. i only have a cross.
Hi,does anyone have an issue with adding Facebook account to the list of accounts under the "Account&Sync" setting? Each time I select the Facebook icon,it doesn't do anything which makes it impossible to create the FB account. I'm trying to make my Facebook contacts available/visible in the stock android contact app just like the HTC phones

i think the facebook app is not compatible fully to honeycomb
cheers guys,i thought as much i.e. the fb app not being compatible
will the facebook will be compatible, because it's suppose to be SOCIAL NETWORK Friendly, (social jogger...)
so should be 100% facebook compatible, but the problem come from facebook as well so far the latest version is not stable.
both of part have to works on it.
I ll wait.
Google has specifically mentioned that Facebook account sync (contact sync) has been disabled in 3.0 and upwards due to privacy issues which facebook has not addressed.
Hi everyone! I have a Milestone 2 and recently I became tired of motoblur social apps, so I downloaded the twitter and facebook original apps. The problem is that facebook app doesn't sync my contacts based on my friends. If I go Menu>Accounts and try to add the facebook account from the facebook app (not the fb icon from Motoblur), nothing happens (I just keep cliking the icon and nothing happens). If I go on facebook app Menu>Config>Other settings, it's empty, and there should be the sync options... Does anyone know an idea to fix it?
Another problem is my contact linking names, and I believe you are aware of this. If I link, for example "Gabriel Avignon" with "gdeavignon", the contact name will be shown "gdeavignon", which is ridiculous. Is there a way to fix that, like replacing the contacts app (BlurContacts.apk)? If there is, where can I find a right pack for that?
Thank you ppl!
I know all about the drama... As far as I know there's no fix.
The Facebook app syncs only on specific devices with the Facebook app preinstalled afaik (Milestone 1 is one of them).
The contact list bug annoyed the hell out of me ass well. For now I'm not using blur anymore but seesmic. Love it so far.
You might want to try to bug Motorola with it...
I see, thank you! But is seesmic able to contact syncing? I looked for it and found no option on the app..
Motorola is disappoint me =p. I'm still hoping it will release gingerbread update for M2. Whatever..
No seesmic can't do that. Sux indeed. You might want try to get a hold on a OG Milestone Facebook.apk. You might be able to sync contacts and the functionality remains after upgrading.
Ok, I'll try or continue with this motoblur till motorola release the new firmware WITH GINGERBREAD please -.- thank you very much
Just remove motoblur app from facebook app list, also remove facebook from motoblur account and then try to add the facebook again. It's work for me after facebook update last night.

Hi all,
Just setting up my new Note 4 and have come accross this issue.
The error occurs when I go into Settings, accounts, facebook and select Sync with your device. As such I am unable to sync my Calendar information with the S Calendar app.
When trying to perform the sync I receive "Unable to single sign on (SSO) to Facebook at this time" message.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
I am having exactly the same problem. Any help will be very appreciated!

Must be down or something. I'm using a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up till yesterday morning when I started to get this same error. Hmm.
Same problem here. Single sign on won;t work for facebook.
Contacs also keeps crushing the last week.
Lolipop is a real mess...
ALso in kitkat says , but with the next update on facebook this message will be gone
I don't think it's a facebook error. Twitter is also unable to SSO with the galaxy app. I am pretty sure it's a Lolipop bug.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the 5.0 lollipop update considering the update isn't available in my stress yet. When there's a new update about to hit, most phones in general start to do the same or something similar. I also have a Note 4 and my bf has a Note 3. I also work on devices frequently. At this point it will continue to be an issue. If you have the Facebook app then you're fine anyway. Just continue checking for further updates. Remember to shut down your device daily for 30 seconds to 1 minute (it's very similar to a computer).
.+1.Me too having the same problem with Facebook since friday. I'm on kitkat with my canadian N4.. I think thst is the Faceboom servers the problem.
Does twitter work? Cause I have iasues with single sign on and twitter also.
I'm also having the same problem since Thursday or Friday, Verizon note 4.. kk.. no other apps having the problem yet. . Very annoying. . .miss not being able ru sync calendar, and photos. ..

I thought it was just me.
I've only just received my Note 4 (Europe) and have the same problem. In my case it all works fine on my old Note 2 and Note 2014 Tablet but not on the Note 4. All my devices have Kit Kat as well.
I hope someone finds a solution as I want to sync my facebook calendar into the S Planner. At present I am keeping my old Note 2 alive for this purpose.
Is this only on Galaxy Devices
I too have this problem on my new S5. My Note 10.1 2014 is still working fine but SSO on the Galaxy S5 just wont work. I have done a factory Reset and still no success. I spoke with samsung which was a total waste of time. Cant wait for someone to find a solution to this.
fix
I to have the note 4 and I completely unistalled Facebook app and forced stop on calender. Reinstalled Facebook app not opening and went back to calender and added new account clicked on Facebook account then signed in. Hope this helps works great now and Facebook is sync with Google calendar.

I'm still on KitKat and having the same SSO issue with the FB app.
Update SNS
The cause is an outdated Samsung SNS provider. After updating it to the latest version in Galaxy Apps, it will work.
Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue on my galaxy s4.
