I just tried it and now that useless Outlook Mail folder has purpose!
Here's the link:

YAY!!! Slow using GPRS, but thats to be expected. Just glad it works.

interesting...am gonna try now

It doesn't seem to be working properly for me. When I tell it to show all my mail, it only shows 10 messages, not the 70 or so I have in my gmail. doesn't anyone else have this problem? By the way I'm using a Fuze.

it does not work for me. Suddenly calendar-sync doesn't work, too. Getting an 0x85010016-error. Any hints?

I got that error before as well but keep trying, I think they are still having some problems with it or maybe their server is a bit slow right now probably because of everyone trying it .. but it does eventually work..

working great for me now.
It did hickup earlier but all cam right on the last sync, now seem to be fine.
It's early days, but a great step in the right direction.

seems to be going up and down. I got it to work as far as syncing and getting my email but no push yet.

I have got the calender and contacts work, but when i tick the email it fails? any ideas or is anybody else having this problem?

Working fine here.
It was slow last night, but guess that is down to the initial load on googles servers

Was it not letting you sync at all? or was it connected but just slow.
Also was there a setting in gmail?

It's working for me - only problem I've got is the email tab in TF3D does not show the account and the new email button doesn't use it?
Any ideas?

I am using gmail with the m.google.com/sync already, what should I change to use the push function ?

go to programs -. activesync -> options -> exchange and check email.

Hmm, maybe I'm just shortsighted, but I'm not seeing how this is useful. Gmail already offers free POP3 support, so you can setup email on your phone to get emails from your Gmail account. Even if you don't like such a thing, Google also offers a J2ME Gmail app for use.
So is there something I'm missing or am I misunderstanding what 'push email' is?

The best you can do with POP/IMAP is check eevery 5 minutes - which may be "instant" enough BUT that will eat up data (even if there is nothing to download) and battery.
With push you'll pull a message when it's available but not be using data checking when there isn't.

Hmm, I see. So it's an issue of how fast you receive a email from your account and data usage. Alright, I understand now. Thank you for the response.

It still doesn't work if I enable email-sync. Without email all my events becomes pushed and synced. Don't know why there is that error...

I had errors too, but I tried to sync only calendar and contacts and then I added emails too. It works good now.
But everytime I setup new sync connection it makes problems, so I think it is necessary to try it several times...

mine still isnt working, it wont full sync when i have the emails checked
the funny thing is i tested it on my girlfriends N97 with my details and it worked a treat
i want it even more now

Facebook sync

Has any one got this to work? Mine just says it down and try later?

Yeah mine just worked. I downloaded the Facebook app from the market though. I didn't know the phone came with one.

The Facebook Sync that came with the device isn't working for me either. "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."

Not working for me either. No bueno!

It's not working for me either... I get the same message as some other posters, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." I have tried re-installing the facebook app, and removing the facebook account in Settings>Accounts and sync. No luck yet. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I haven't gotten mine to work either. I have the same errors as everyone else is reporting.
I don't see any other way of doing it via downloading a market app either.
I really don't care if it is integrated via samsung or an app, I just want to check it out.
Any suggestions?

Someone should try to contact AT&T or Samsung about this.

Having the same problem here. What did you do to accomplish the same with the Facebook app?

I don't know what happened but mine finally started working. I did root the device but I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

So facebook is now showing contacts on my phone, as far as actually properly 'syncing' I don't know yet.
However, they must have just fixed what was wrong with the connection.
More later

Bloo is an app that'll give you notifications similar to the BB FB app when someone sends a message or makes a comment or even pokes you. Although I have had issues when I try to go to the photo that someone just commented about, bloo can't get there. But it does notify me. I just have to use the FB app if I want to reply back.

Mine worked fine yesterday.

My fb sync is definitely not working either. I've probably tried it at least 15 times since sunday. A few hard resets, reseating battery and sim. Tried setting up fb sync as the very first thing after a hard reset so no other settings or accounts conflicted... Nothing. I would very much like this to work. Whats strange is that in the contacts application the activities tab pulls my news feed, but within my contacts and groups there are 0 contacts that show and I get the sync error saying it will be back shortly in the accounts settings.

any update on this? i really want my facebook contacts to sync.

Still no go for me either :/

Yep, same here. It pulls in my activities, but not my contacts with the very same error. I've read on some other forums that it's a FB error and resolves itself when it feels like it. But it does seem weird that it would get updates and not contacts unless it's pulling that from somewhere else. I'm wondering if it has to do with the security settings I have set up on FB?

Well I finally got it to work. Contacts sync 2 days ago but did have to lynk a few manually. Then it would just have a error if it tried to auto sync. Rooted my phone yesterday day and removed att apps and now it will sync every hour no problems. Duno if either helped but worth a shot.

Mines not working. What's going on? Anyone

Contacts Link/Sync Suggestions Bug

Every day, sometimes twice a day, the phone will have a notification that it "found" some suggested contacts to link between my Google account and Facebook. So I link them all and click Ok. Then it comes back later again. This has been happening for months. Has anyone else seen this bug or know how to resolve it?

mine just started doing it lately and its annoying!

I don't have this problem but I don't use Google to sync contacts, I sync with my companies exchange server. I'm sure you've tried this, but maybe remove FB account and then add it back?

mine doesnt just do it with google. it also does it with the ones that are synced via tmobile as well. i may try deleting the facebook sync and start all over. funny thing is i froze my facebook account a few weeks ago via my pc and when i unfroze it, i had to delete the sync and re-add it for it to work again.

Anyone having problems with Friend Stream/ facebook?

My friend stream widget appears to be not working. It doesnt pull any updates unless I make a status update. Even then, it just shows mine. Any way to fix this? Ive tried redoing the entire account and still no luck. The twitter widget works fine though as well as enabling twitter in the stream widget.. facebook just wont update.
Any thoughts?

Do you have your Sync Friends with Contacts setting turned on?
Go to: Facebook app >> Settings >> Sync Contacts
Select "Sync all" or "Sync with existing contacts"

I'm also having trouble connecting to HTC's friend stream server and after trying to reset and re enter my fb user Id and password it says the service is not available...
Ps I'm using mikes revolution 3.2 Rom

I too am having a message come up when i try and log into facebook for htc/friendstream saying service is unavailable is there a way to fix or work around this?

If the Service is unavailable it is most likely something on HTC and FB end. With all the privicy issues FB is facing I have a feeling we will be having more and more issues like this.

[Q] Connectivity Issues

Im having trouble connecting to Facebook chat or Facebook feeds and Marketplace. I get "Can't get feeds. We are having trouble getting your feeds right now. Try again later." when looking at Facebook updates. I get "Can't connect to chat" and "Can't connect to see who's online" on the facebook chat. I've never been able to see any MSN Messenger contacts. When trying to download an app from the Marketplace I get "There is a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code: 80070490" Everything worked intitially except for the MSN Messenger. Restoring the phone corrects everything minus the MSN Messenger which is what I did last time. Restoring the phone every 2 months is not an option so I'm hoping someone can point me to a fix!
Thanks in advance!

I've just had the same problem. I tried everything. Updating phone, reinstalling Zune, but i think the only way to fix it is Hard Reset. Sorry...

1) Did you link your facebook to your hotmail account? If i remember that was required pre nodo and is how mine is setup
2) Go to email accounts under settings. hold finger on windows live and press sync (also change the setting to as items arrive for windows live)
3) Do the same for syncing with facebook account. (i also found sometimes to update friends immediately that you add through pc you have to go in there and sync the facebook
Also when you say restore... you mean from backup? have u tried a hard reset instead? (i would recommend it at this point) and are you on mango?
