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
Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
so did a battery pull trying to fix an sms problem and when i booted back up i started getting some FC and now lost most (not all) of my contacts and no longer can get into gmail and the market? the apps are there but when i click them they just look like they are opening and then i get put back to the home screen?? one of the pop ups i keep getting is the location consent? i have tried restarting a few times with no luck... also when i go to option and then to accounts and then add account, i no longer have gmail on there?

just did that and all is back to normal... was hoping there was a way around wiping all and tsarting over though... hopefully it wont happen again! not sure what caused it...
Unfortunately, the best way to take care of these odd happenings is usually get back to a known good configuration, then try again to pinpoint the source of the error.
Glad to hear your back up and running though.
I believe I know the cause to this. Go SMS seems to beat the ever living hell out of Gingerbread when you uninstall it. I had this same exact issue and the cure was either do not remove Go SMS for any reason, or never install it.

Go SMS can also be a pain to upgrade and goes nuts with memory issues that aren't really there. I use it and love it but it's tempermental for sure.
GO apps (at least some) collect info and send it back to the developers without telling you.

Why is the last couple days my Gmail will not check for mew mail? Stock rooted with update done yesterday. I have to open Gmail and refresh and get all my mail I've been missing all day. Doesn't makes sense since it was working before the last couple days. I have 3 accounts setup to sync and none are working.

Weird, my gmail is no longer updating automatically either. But it is working on my tablet.
EDIT: Well, I checked my account settings under Settings > Accounts and Sync and somehow my gmail, calendar and contacts magically got unchecked.
I had not heard that it does more bad than good, can you point me to a discussion thread on it?
I had someone else say the same thing about juice defender but did not get a explanation why either.

I had this issue on my Inspire. I went to GTalk and apparently, I was signed out. I signed back in (as I believe this is how it communicates with google servers and syncs) and mine has been syncing correctly since.

What the heck is gtalk? And whats it got to do with gmail refreshing on the phone. Ive never heard of gtalk !!! I googled it and came up a bunch of different things
All day today, no email. Manual refresh and a bunch of emails show up. This is annoying! I thought alot of my issues with the dell streak were solved by moving on but i guess i only moved onto different issues..... so annoyed

Google Talk. Google's chat service. It shows in your app drawer as "Talk". If you've ever noticed, when you access gmail on a computer, you're automatically signed into Google Talk. I was told a while ago in the past (when I owned a captivate) that Talk is what the phone may use to communicate with Google servers (makes sense), but not completely sure. By no means is gmail buggy or have issues because 99% of the time it syncs perfectly and without problems. My time period where it didn't sync was the first time it ever happened since I've had my Inspire (since February). My gmail has since returned to normal.
Do you have a task killer that's possibly interfering?
Are notifications enabled? (in gmail settings - "notify in status bar when mail arrives")

Still having issues with my Gmail syncing. I had no issues for the first few weeks I had phone, but now it is rare that push actually works. I have verified all settings are correct. I had issues on my iphone with email syncing also, so I changed to fetch emails every 15 mins on that to make it useful still. I don't see an option for that on the gmail app though.

That's really weird. The Gmail app has always worked for me, and very well at that (and on different devices). My GF's gmail app works just as well and she uses the Infuse. The only thing I can think of at this point is to go to the gmail application info page (via manage applications) and "clear data. Verify all of the settings again, reboot, and see what happens.

I do have advanced task killer but its not enabled at all. My gmail settings and notifacations are all set correctly.
Gtalk was logged in on my main account. I dont think that has anything to do with this problem though. I have 3 accounts setup and it worked fine for a little bit there before noticing the problem. If it was linked, i would have 3 loggins!
The gmail app has always worked fine for me also, UNTIL getting this phone! Sux

Settings -- Privacy then uncheck what you don't want restored
I tried that but it keeps on installing them. Maybe I have to skip the Google Account setup process and change those settings first. After which I'll add my Google account.
Didn't do anything for me. I think my profile is hosed on Google's servers. It hasn't tried a sync for me in months. I may try to leave it unsynced for a day and then recheck it.
I'm about to boot into my Sensation for the first time. There used to be a setting (though it may have been a CM thing) when you had to enter your username/password where you select "disable restore"... is that option not available here?
Is there any way to prevent sync before logging in? I had tried a bunch of new apps over the last week or so, and have no intention to keep them but am afraid Google will reinstall them.
TIA

The check box your referring to is there but unchecking will not do anything. Your applications will still install. I did it twice. What you need to do is skip the initial Google Sync Setup. When the phone boots go into privacy settings and uncheck the bottom two boxes. Then sync your Google accounts. That worked for me. This is going to sound off but the reason I proposed this question is because the phone seems noticeably slower when syncing your applications. I have tried it on two different Sensations multiple times with the same results. It's actually pretty odd.

I wonder if some system setting is being added that doesn't belong. That could explain why my experience seems a lot better with the phone's performance compared to others regarding general lag, network and launcher performance. It would be interesting if that was causing it.
