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

[Q] Tmobile contact backup question

I have the tmobile contact backup turned off & set to not sync. Every time I look at my phone though it is shown in the notification bar as "Checking Status". Does this happen to anyone else? I don't want this damn program running at all!

Mine doesn't seem to be running. i went into manage apps, cleared the data and turned off sync. I still check it every now and again to make sure it's not syncing behind my back. I don't trust it because for the first few days it seemed undeterred when I'd tried to stop it.

I'll try that

Also I would advise you to delete your tmobile contacts form your phone, and just store and sue the google contacts, so that you can be sure if the Tmobile contacts syn has reenabled itself after you disabled it.
I can't wait for Root so we can get rid of this stuff!

I don't want to sync my contacts with google simple because it'll add any email address that you email. I use Outlook to handle them. I did clear the contact backup data & haven't seen anything happen since then

For some reason when I got the phone it added all my contacts about 5 times each... I had to delete everything from the phone itself, then resync with tmobile back up because of all the crazy linking of phone numbers. I don't even store contacts on my phone anymore I purely use the tmobile backup list and facebook contacts.

instead of rebooting hit the power button and restart that will shut down every app to its normal state

thanks for the reply, but that's what I meant by rebooting

ok try turning off data then restart the phone see if that works with no data it cant sync

This is being discussed in another thread.
1.Disable automatic syncing.
2.Sync manually once. Then re-enable syncing.
Still doing it? disable the syncing of 'watch' in accounts and sync.
This should cure it and credit to the posters in the other thread for this fix

Thanks for this. It worked
Can you tell me the other thread that talks about the solution as i have searched and cannot find it?
Thanks

This did not seem to work for me. When you say manual sync do you mean go into each listed item and hit the sync now button?
Watch is and never was auto sync in my handset.
Any help would be great or the pointer to the other thread!
Cheers

I had this issue and uninstalled linked in for sense and it disappeared

Well had a play and it seems if I stop the auto sync, cancel the existing sync and turn auto sync back on it works fine.
I can only think on startup there is an issue with one of them, not got the time to work out which at this point, could be linkedin for HTC as I do use that. Will try it fist and let you know.
Thanks

Sync - Constantly on

Ok,
I noticed my battery was being killed quite alot and i couldnt work out why, then my mate relised my phone is constantly syncing the whole time.
now i have already turned off auto-sync, gone through all my accounts, turned most apps to sync manaually and also got juice defender and canceled a few apps (like stocks) disabled to connecting.
Now i noticed every time i restart my phone, it comes up saying syncing in task bar at top. now if i go to accounts all the sync symbols are all greyed out (black shows its syncing). I cant seem to find what the is atcually syncing. But the button at the bottom says cancel sync, i press that and it all stops syncing.
My problem i have is i think its my google account which is stuck doing contacts, but i want to know why it doesnt it stop syncing, it almost gets caught in lop and stays on complete the whole time the phone is on unless i manually stop it??
Can anyone help me?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Also just noted that my enhanced email hotmail account is under as exchange, it could this that is stuck as sync. although when i cancel all syncing i still get emails?
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
EDITED - Ok little more update, if i go to accounts and sync, cancel sync, Everything stops syncing. Then i go through like facebook, exchange, google and sync now, it comes up in task bar syncing and then dissappears afterwards when finished. So question is what is getting stuck syncing everytime i retsart my phone??

No one has any ideas??

Bump, someone surely might have some ideal?

Bump??????????

I have the same issue at the moment. It's probably HTC Sense.

Well i think its because of htc sense account...remove it...it might help...on my sensarion it used to sync continously and make copy of all my contacts again and again...so i just login with the google, facebook for htc sense, facebook, exchange, htc sense one by one to find out who is the culprit...and it was htc sense..

Mine is very low. Will try to free up some space and come back with the results.

Try the tutorial from this section. Factory data reset and stuff...

I was going to but i cant before SMS and contacts are synced. Since when i backup and then it syncs with HTCSENSE i end up with double contacts and sms.

Hmm, mainly yes you have very low free space. Try to move to SD card as many downloaded apps as you can and then try to sync again. Or just remove them, sync, reset, re-sync, re-install, move to SD card.

HTC Sense still not syncing. This is getting on my nerves
I removed acccount and added it again, still nothing.

You need at least 25MB free space. Do you have less than that? If you have more (40 MB for example) then that's a problem. Try doing this:
- Go to Settings
- Accounts & sync
- Select one account
- Manually sync contacts, calendar, SMS (whatever you want) one after another and see which is causing the failure.
Also, you have mentioned HTC Sense not syncing. Try checking into HTC Sense website at: https://www.htcsense.com/ and see if your account is working properly there. Try to contact HTC as well (but they'll probably tell you to reset your phone).

My Htc cha cha doesn't sync the calendar with gcalendar. Why?
Then, really i can save the sms ?

Hy alex What'sup? I tried to do the factory data reset but the sistem doesn't reinstall the free app that i see on my market. What can i do to have that? It will be better for next time use titanium backup?

Is everything synced and setup? It should be downloading automatically once you connect to the internet and sync all accounts.
Which app isn't the phone installing?

all the app. i must reinstall manually all the app. The app that i download are only free. i must set up something in particular. In privacy i tip "backup" same problem in my htc desire and in my htc cha cha

When you have performed your initial setup, have you deactivated the "Keep my settings backed up" in the last screen of the Google account setup? It's normally activated by default. These are the settings that I am using.

no i didn't do this. but, if i deactivete this, what's happen?

I was just asking to see if that's the reason it won't resync. I thought that you deactivated it. Check my guide under the memory issues and activate those two also.

Can i deactiveted now or i must deactiveted only after "factory data reset"?
i must deactiveted from "privacy" ---> backup my setting

They all need to be activated. I asked just to check

Yes my friend, restore app and back up, in privacy area are all correct activeted.
So please tell me what i must to do to restore all my app
1) back up with titanium?
2) how can i restore after a reset? I didn't s-on my htc.
3)The reason could be that my cha cha is branded? I download "apn italian" from market do you know another way to unlock?
So please tell me why if i create an even on my android calendar this does'nt sync in gcalendar? Gmail sync the contact and not the event.
