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.

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
Dear All,
I do apologize for starting a new thread on this topic (I know others have been berated for doing similar) but I have searched and not found anything that addresses the issue that I am having.
My Gmail app keeps dropping its push email function. Manual refresh works but not push. I can get it working again by clearing the Gmail app data and re-setting up all the Gmail settings (signature, notification, etc.) and all works well. However it only lasts for between a few hours to a couple of days before it stops working again and I have to repeat the process to get it working again.
Sending email, and my wife's Nexus S works fine. I have also just noticed (but not investigated it) but the Calendar does not seem to be automatically syncing either even though auto syncing is enabled.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a cure?
I also noticed similar Gmail sync issue yesterday. I tried all means but not successul till now. Hope someone comes up with a solution.
Oh, yesterday I got this error message couple of times " Google services framework force close or something like that". I rebooted the phone, and that error went away but not sure if that's the reason for my push email not working well.
Did you ever come with a solution to this? I've found it to be quite annoying.
This claims to be a solution: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-gmail-app-has-stopped-syncing.html#post94541
It's written as though it's for situations that it started happening pre-empted by adding additional accounts though. I've only got 1 account and it's tending to happen every 2 or 3 days.
I have not found a "solution" - just a work around. What I have found is that when I do a full Google account sync (Settings/Accounts & sync/[Google account]/Menu button/Sync) it forces a sync of my entire Google account but then kicks my push email into life again for a couple of days without needing to wipe my Gmail app data.
I've just got into the habit of doing this every morning when I get into the office. I took a vacation a few weeks ago and forgot to do it for a couple of days and lo-and-behold my emails stopped coming through, so nothing's changed.

Well that's a better workaround than having to clear data all the time at least.
Thanks!
Has anyone found a solution to this one.
I am having the same issue on an HTC Sensation with GMAIL android app. Basically it works for about 2 days and I receive an email exactly as I receive it but then after some days it stops working.
What I normally have to do i switch off all Sync and then switch it on again and it restarts everything but this is not the ideal thing.
I had this problem before. The only way I found to fix it is to remove the google account from the phone and add it again. Also if you disable the Google account from the Account & Sync Settings and enable it again will fix the issue. I didn't have this problem again but not sure if was actualy fixed from the above steps.
Hi
I did what was said in post and now I am getting replies but I am afraid that this will stop after some time....
In the end for me I had to do a factory reset, the little workarounds weren't sticking.
After loading Gummy Charged on my phone, I'm having 3 problems. One is that my hotmail email keeps sending me notices of new mail even after I have checked them off as being read.
Secondly, I can't seem to add my yahoo mail account. Keeps telling me my info is wrong.
The third is that my gmail account isn't syncing my phone contacts. It is listed as a synced account but will not show the contacts. I have even gone to the verizonwireless website and tried to sync there. It says that I have successfully done so, but the contacts still do not appear on the phone.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Chris
I'm not sure I can help with the first two. The first one I have dealt with since day one, even on stock. The second one I have no idea.
For the third one, I may be able to help. I had this same problem and it ended up being a google thing. To solve the problem I had to sign on to gmail and go to contacts. There were a slew of people listed under uncategorized. I moved them to my contacts, synced my phone, and all was well. I hope that helps.

Well I reset the phone hoping it would help and it took care of the gmail account. Still having probs with Hotmail and I just gave up on adding the Yahoo and got the app for it.
There are also no longer notifications showing for messages or emails on the icons. Is that something that was removed from Gummy?
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'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?

Hi all
Hope your all enjoying your new phones
Does anyone else have the same problem with gmail as me? After maybe 30 minutes to an hour i keep on getting the message that my sign-in has failed and i need to keep on entering my password, also when i delete emails they either stay there or reappear later on!
Nope, but I do sometimes get the error that it couldn't sync my contacts on the regular email app for my work Office 365 exchange account
This is what I get and it's driving me crazy !
No problems here with gmail...yet.

Used to be a common problem with Android. The solution was what was stated earlier, remove the account and add again. I don't think I've seen that problem since KitKat...
And with emails coming back, this used to happen to myself as well. I have my Yahoo email come through the Gmail app and it used to happen all the time. Now when I get an email I don't care to read I'll delete it from the notification bar and I haven't seen it return like it did to myself on marshmallow on my s7. But I'm able to see multiple emails and still delete them individually from the notification bar now, I couldn't do that before.
