[Q] Facebook contacts sync not working? - Captivate General

Hello,
I flashed to Cognition 2.3b6 5 days ago, and the facebook sync contacts option has said "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." ever since I flashed. Twitter and Google contacts have synced and integrated to my contacts just fine. I think facebook contacts sync was working fine on Cognition 2.2b1 until I flashed. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

Try to force a sync? I had the same issue, forced a sync, left the phone overnight and everything corrected itself. Weird...

I've tried to force sync multiple times with the same result.

I had the same type of problem today. For me the fix was as simple as deleting the account from sync rebooting and setting it back up.

^^
I've done that countless times as well

I had that issue once too, can't remember what Cog built I was on, but I'm running perception build 4 now and it's running great, with everything syncing properly. If you haven't tried perception yet, it's awesome!

Gmail Issue: Waiting For Sync

Everything was working good until a few days ago. Now the Gmail app states that is waiting for sync. Your email will appear shortly..
And it never does. Ive tried turning off and back on the auto sync and tried to manually sync but I get an error message that says
Sorry!
The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get it up and running again? Thanks.
I'm on JF's RC33
Ok, I figured it out. I went into settings and Gmail Storage and cleared out the data. Then I went back into gmail and entered my account information again and it seems to be syncing now. Really weird, I dont know how it just stopped working. Anyway, hope this helps someone in the future.

Dont know if you have docs to go. but when i uninstalled docs to go gmail started working again for me. Now i reinstalled docs to go and havent had any problems yet.
Reinstall any apps you've been using to send attachments (eg. Note Everything, Doodleroid etc.), clear out your gmail and gmail storage data, and it should work.
Try to avoid sending multiple attachments at once: for example if you send one and it 'stalls' and you try to send it again, it could do this to your gmail.
I also had this issue. I resolved this issue by turning sync back on. Once I enabled sync, I was able to get right into my gmail account.
Similar problem here
(Using CM 5.0.8 final on my original black G1)
I can manually sync with the server to get email, but syncing seems to happen maybe once a day for the past week or so. It used to happen so frequently that i'd see email on my phone before i'd see it in my web browser if i was at a computer.
Haven't changed anything recently... Tried rebooting the phone of course.
Can't find the tool for clearing out gmail on my phone, so i haven't tried that.
any other theories?
thanks
Edit: Turned off sync everywhere and rebooted. Got stuck in a boot loop.
Used amon ra recovery console to wipe dalvik cache
Boot loop is fixed
Refresh problem seems fixed too.
yay?

Stock ROM, Rooted, Sync hang?

I am on the stock ROM rooted. I have a gmail, google apps, facebook app - Not HTC Sense (contacts only) and weather(3 hours) accounts setup. Something seems to hang while syncing and the sync icon stays on for a long time. This will cause emails to be delayed in showing notification.
I cannot figure out what it is that is causing the issue. I am also assuming this is not good for battery life. When it is hung like that I can look at each account on the accounts & sync tab and none of them show active syncing. If I cancel the sync and then sync now they will all sync and complete as expected.
Any one else seeing this? Any ideas on figuring out what account is causing it?
Mine does this too. I'm rooted, running Perfect Storm v1.0. I also did the 'Kernal/OS tweaks'. I'm not sure what caused it, but it's been doing this on and off for a couple days. I also had that ooVoo video app installed and when I uninstalled it, the sync indicator went away. (I had previously set the ooVoo sync to off). I'll post if I find anything.
I selected each account and disabled sync for each one and it still showed the sync icon later on. Do we know what all triggers the sync icon?
Any one else having this issue?
I was having the same issue. No idea what was causing it, I thought it was Facebook, but I froze it and it still was popping up. I did install advanced radio tools in settings from Jcase and leankernal from Imoseyon...
Yeah I am unrooted still and have this same issue with gmail delay. I can send an email to my self and watch it pop up almost immediately on my old eris connected to wifi but actually have to launch gmail to get the email on the thunderbolt. WTF!? Thats basic stuff. I cannot for the life of me figure out how it works fine on the granddaddy eris but not on the grandson TB. I have one personal gmail account and one gapps account. The only difference in the phones (other than the obvious massive power difference) is 4g so I wonder if this 1st gen 4g device wasn't polished enough back at the HTC labs?

I have 1 of each account type as well. What about other of you having this issue?
I've been experiencing this all day. Won't sync my g-mail accounts. I froze HTC Sense, could that be the cause?
EDIT: Unfroze sense and it still won't sync my g-mail. Syncs my contacts fine, just not my calendar or my e-mails. I deleted data and it did nothing except remove all of the e-mails that I had on my phone. Still wouldn't sync so I booted up my backup, and it STILL is not syncing. Please tell me I'm not the only one experiencing this problem.

Google Sync Error.

When I turned on Auto Sync. I get the message, "Sync is currently experiencing problems, it will be back shortly". I can't sync my contacts at all. I also tried Contacts Sync Fix(app), and thay didn't seem to help.
Please any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I'm not so sure about that. Can you check the date the sync was last successful? My sync date on my Galaxy S3 was a few months old (in Feb I think). I think (at least I) am running into the problem described in http://code.google.com/p/android/is...s Owner Summary Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=42641. I tried a few suggestions there like clearing out my contacts data etc. And then I deleted my account and recreated it and the problem is worse now. I don't get a last successful sync date at all anymore. No errors. But no syncing either. I can create new dummy records and it will eventually (a few minutes later sync). And changes I make on the phone will also eventually reflect in the cloud. Meanwhile no problems syncing on my Nexus 10. But if I change a real record (possibly a Google+ account), it never syncs up.

Well I removed my google account yesterday and re added it and now everything syncs up fine. My last sync time was about 5 minutes ago. It syncs constantly throughout the day since I use G+.
I have the same problem. If I clear the contacts data, it'll sync but only once. If I add something on my phone or on the website, the sync won't work again until I re-delete the contacts data again.
I have this for about 3 weeks now. I even reinstalled the ROM, but not helped.
Acer E350 with Android 4.0.3 (with 5 different updates, even with the first version). Everything worked correctly until May 15.
I solve this problem, I think...
Google Account Dashboard -> Account -> Security, I deleted all (mobile) apps*connections to my account, then deleted my Google Apps account on Android and reinstalled it. Now I can access everything again!

I've been having this issue for the past week and can't seem to fix. I've gone to Settings and deleted cache and data, Google contacts will resync and bring the contacts back, but then a short time later, they are gone. I've done this about a hundred times already. I've also gone and deleted duplicate contacts, installed an app to fix broken contacts, all to no avail. I don't know what else to do at this point, very frustrating. I'm having this issue on different roms that I flash.

I am experiencing the same issue once again. I don't know if this is Rom related or anything, but it's driving me nuts!!

I'm a little late to the game here, having recently acquired a One, but this fix worked perfectly for me. So far it's been a few hours and the sync still refreshes without issue. Kudos.
Which settings?

Sync?

Hello,just bought the HTC one mini,great phone.My calendar doesn't seem to sync with Facebook.Is everyone facing the same problem?
Sent from my HTC One mini using xda app-developers app
Hi all. It seems I am experiencing the same issue since a few days now, and I cannot seem to find the root cause at all.
For some strange reason, Facebook and Google won't sync, and I keep getting this sync error all the time.
I use Google Calendar Sync program on my laptop, so that I can sync my Outlook calendar with the Google calendar, and everything works fine, and worked fine when I initially installed it, seeing my outlook meetings also on my phone.
I have no idea what I could have done on the phone to get this sync error. The accounts are right and have the correct passwords. And, also, if I log on to my Google calendar on my laptop after syncing it using the above software, I can see the synced meetings from Outlook.
I have also attached some screenshots. If anybody has any idea it would be great. I don't want to reset my phone.
So I managed to get the Google sync solved by removing and re-adding it, everything syncs fine, for now at least
But Facebook calendar just won't sync at all. I removed and re-added the account several times, rebooted the phone but still nothing. The app cannot be un-installed as it is built in. Anyway, I un-installed the updates and re-updated the app, and no results.
It is really not much big of a deal not having the birthdays of my facebook friends in the calendar, but still, I don't understand why it won't sync.
If somebody faced the same problem, any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Gmail not syncing one specific account

For the past two weeks, the Gmail android app has stopped automatically syncing mail from my primary Google account. Sync is turned on in both the Gmail app as well as in Settings. I've tried toggling them off and on as well. Other Google accounts sync mail without a problem so I don't think it's an issue of Gmail not running in the background but I've also set the app to "Unrestricted" battery usage.
I've tested this on 4 different Android devices and my personal account doesn't sync on any of them (including an older version of the app). I'm currently using the Outlook app until I can figure out the problem and it automatically syncs the account just fine. Co-incidence or not, I started noticing this around the time I installed Nameless ROM on my Oneplus 8T. I've tried totally removing the Google account from the devices and re-adding it multiple times. Any idea what could be causing my personal Google account not be playing nice with the Gmail android app?
Did you find a solution ? Im facing same problem. Just one account doesnt sync and its my primary... I tried different phones and on all of them it cannot sync my data on that account. Gmail not working untill I enter it

Unfortunately, no, I haven't found a solution. I'm just continuing to use another email for that account.
Did it start completely out of the blue for you or had you recently installed a custom ROM or anything?
Installed custom rom but on different phone. My main is stock
Also already uninstalled every device from myaccount.google.com and still doesnt work. I've tried also on fresh phone but it doesnt work too. I have other gmail accounts and they are syncing without any problems on every device.

Yeah, sounds like we have the exact same issue. I also asked on Reddit a couple weeks ago and didn't get any responses. I'll let you know if I find a solution though.
Just an update to say that my account has started syncing again today. I didn't make any changes recently on my end so I still don't know the cause but at least it's resolved.
