hey guys, is anyone else using stock rom having issues with facebook sync not updating properly? I restored my phone back to non-root and all because I thought it was an issue when i reloaded rooted stock rom. I found a thread on FB about people saying theres an issue and HTC is aware of it. Just curious if anyone else is having problems. It adds facebook HTC sense to accounts and sync, but will not load any contacts or pics.
yeah, i'm having the same issues. I'm just using syncmypix for now for the contact pictures.. unfortunately the actual FB syncing is broken
Having the same issue here. None of my Facebook contacts show up. The only thing that's actually synced is my picture and my birth date.
Looks like its not just our device, all HTC Sense devices are having issues sync'ing apparently. I read through some HTC forums and they are working on it. There was a post today on the main page:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-sense-not-playing-nice-with-facebook/
So wait the facebook not syncing with my contacts or even being able to link to my contacts is not a result of rooting my phone? I just rooted my phone yesterday and now i have no pictures or any facebook info in my phone book. I also did the OTA like 2 days ago, which is why i rooted in the first place (lost wifi tether) and untill all of this i had no problems with my phone at all.
With using the new leak of 2.2, facebook and everything is syncing just fine!

Yeah after poking around it seems all versions above (i think they said) 2.0 were having the issue for a short period of time. Probably to do some kind of server testing for the launch of froyo for evo or some phone or another. Seems to be working now and i'm going to reroot.

Hello,
I bought my nexus s today, and i noticed that Facebook wouldn't sync to my phone! it starts by not asking whether or not to sync contacts when i install the Facebook app and continues by not responding to 'add account' in 'accounts & syncs' in settings.
I really like the option that i can see my fav's pictures.
any ideas what can i do to solve this?
but all and all amazing phone, specially after coming from here, after two years
2.3.3 intentionally disabled facebook syncing. the way to bypass this is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7
thanks. good to know, although i don't understand why they did that.

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

Just like what tomm posted. This change was intentional on Google's part.
CM7 modified it to enable syncing in 2.3.3 again. You also gain a lot of extra benefits using CM7
Hi, I'm running a custom Rom arhd 4.1.8 with sense 3.5 and everything works great EXCEPT facebook for HTC sense. It won't even show up in the accounts and sync list. I tried downloading the actual .apk file, installing it, moving it to /system/apps, fixing permissions and restarting to no avail. I have tried removing my HTC account from facebook hoping that would "restart" it somehow.
Has anyone heard of this issue before? It really is a minor.nuisance because the regular facebook account syncs fine butttttt it was annoying the hell out of me that my pictures and statuses aren't coming up when I look through people and when they call me.
Oh, btw, it works fine on previous versions of arhd. I think it might be an issue with sense 3.5 but, I'm no expert.
Don't fret it's there but hides itself behind the official Facebook app. Just sign in using the official Facebook app. The Sense version will pop up immediately and ask for permission to access your Facebook account.

Thanks for responding. I did know that already though haha. that's actually the problem. When I choose to sync my facebook account, it will pop up a facebook window after I hit "sync" and it looks as though its going to authorize faceboock for HTC but for some retarded reason, it exits out and an error notification appears in my notification bar saying "you need to authorize facebook for htc sense. And I'm like "wtf!!! It is authorized because I checked on facebook.com and its listed in my apps!!!
So the problem probably lies in the actual authorization phase of syncing. It's really getting on my nerves. I don't understand why it would work for sense 3.0 Roms but not 3.5. I just installed insertcoin hoping for different results but the same damn thing keeps happening.
Anybody else have an answer???
It just works fine for me.

Okay, either I'm an idiot, or it fixed itself. Either way, I'm happy!!! Haha problem solved.
So, I have a galaxy Nexus and my girlfriend has a stratosphere, i am able to get her calendar synced to my phone, but not get mine on hers. We can get the calendar onto her google calendar via the browser, but will not sync to her stock calendar app. Any ideas?

Sync to Google calendar on Litening Rom v2.3 failure
Hi,
I'm am currently experiencing a similar issue. I recently rooted a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i91000) with an original kernal (XWKK2) and flashed the Litening Rom v2.3 onto the device. Everything else works fine but the syncing with google calendar. I noticed in the changelog that v2.2 had added the google calendar but I'm unsure whether the syncing aspect was added. I was originally intending to post to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but because I am a new member I am unable to. I'm wondering if other people are experiencing this issue?
The error message was very vague. I will include it on a follow up post. I am hoping to bump this post as I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Many thanks for the help,
Pat
Edited text: I'm hoping to get a response first just so I know whether to install ADB - i.e. whether this is already a known issue or not.
I had this problem and solved the syncing last night. On your mobile device go into settings, applications, manage, all, then find calendar storage and clear data. Ok that and reboot. It will then resync with your online calendar.
See vmiller's post in following link.

Calendar was syncing with my kf but not my Droid X. Did this on my Droid x and it syncs fine now.
Thanks so much!
I'll try this soon.
Looks like this will solve the issue.
I'll thanks the post when I can - did more then 8 today
Cheers,
Pat
Oh, and only need to do that once.
It solved the problem of new events created online or on kf not showing up on my Droid and it solved the problem of new events created on Droid not appearing online and on my kf.
IMHO , when i log in my google account , the calendar start sync
Hi guys,
I've tried it on the phone and it seems to work after the restart. However, if you restart the phone again (for any reason), the sync issues reoccur. I've found that if I clear the data, restart the phone and re-sync it works but it fails to sync again once the phone is restarted. I'll stick with the workaround for the moment but I hope a fix comes about.
Cheers,
Pat

I will try this and report back. Thanks
I upgraded my Nexus S from Android 2.3.1 to 4.0.3 and all was well: those I follow on Twitter turned up in the new People app. But recently I ran a factory reset to try and improve battery life and since re-installing Twitter for Android it refuses to sync my contacts.
My Twitter account has been added to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. What I get for "Sync Contacts" is: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". "Sync Twitter" is working fine as is syncing with googlemail accounts.
My colleague has a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (also running Android 4.0.3) and I got him to add his Twitter account to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. He is getting the exact same problem.
Is anyone else getting this? It's been broken for a few days now.
I'm running the AOSP oICS and it doesn't work for me either. Try to sync contacts with twitter and it just fails. NS4G.

It's a problem with Twitter. It was fine a few days ago on stock Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.1 and then it just stopped working.
Mine works, but I installed from a backup so they may be gone when it updates.
Mine also doesn't work. I submitted it as an issue to them and I recommend you guys do the same.
Submit here: https://support.twitter.com/forms/apps
same here with aopk kangy8, with a previous version it was good, it doesn't work with the last
any news? I tried another rom, but same error

It's a 4.0.3 or Twitter 3.0.1 error I think, not sure. Anyway I contacted them (FWIW) and I got the basic reply:
Hi,
Blabla thanks. Blabla assigned to an engineer. Blabla once fixed it will be posted on blabla
Sorry, thanks for being patient etc

It worked fine for weeks, only stopped a week or so ago. Something on twitter's end.

Yeah I figured in the meanwhile, not app/OS version specific, lets hope they can fix it soon because my contacts are all grey and boring atm
guess what..u guys are not alone. Mine also suddenly causing me similar issue since last night.
Definitely not an ICS issue. It has to be a twitter issue, because it also stopped working on my gingerbread-running Optimus One.
do you think it's a twitter problem or is ics?
I sent a message with the link ... waiting response now ... =)
Wait & see
Same here! No ICS Issues confirmed
I can confirm the issue, in my Xoom running ICS and also in my phone running Gingerbread, both with the same message using the same account... So I think is twitter fault...
So we have to wait for an update...

My skyrocket refuses to pull in my Twitter contacts. I have wiped the Twitter and SNS accounts twice and added them back and restarted the phone. It just won't sync the contacts. There's a red "!" on the sync button and none of my twitter contacts show up in my contacts.
I read on a forum somewhere that Galaxy Nexus people are having this issue as well. Is it a Twitter issue? Hoping to get some confirmation that other people are having this issue. It's driving me crazy.
It has also happened on my ICS equipped I9100 and Inspire(Desire HD) running ICS. I think it has to do with API changes in the way it syncs with Twitter. I Unfortunately that means we will be waiting a while for a fix.

I'm having the same issue on two different roms! Seems to be a Twitter issue.
Yeah, thanks for the replies, guys. I just checked it on my Vivid and it's not syncing either. The timing was coincidental, but at least I know it's not my new phone.
