[Q] Twitter for Android - sync contacts broken in ICS / Android 4.0.3 ? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded my Nexus S from Android 2.3.1 to 4.0.3 and all was well: those I follow on Twitter turned up in the new People app. But recently I ran a factory reset to try and improve battery life and since re-installing Twitter for Android it refuses to sync my contacts.
My Twitter account has been added to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. What I get for "Sync Contacts" is: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". "Sync Twitter" is working fine as is syncing with googlemail accounts.
My colleague has a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (also running Android 4.0.3) and I got him to add his Twitter account to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. He is getting the exact same problem.
Is anyone else getting this? It's been broken for a few days now.

I'm running the AOSP oICS and it doesn't work for me either. Try to sync contacts with twitter and it just fails. NS4G.

It's a problem with Twitter. It was fine a few days ago on stock Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.1 and then it just stopped working.

Mine works, but I installed from a backup so they may be gone when it updates.

Mine also doesn't work. I submitted it as an issue to them and I recommend you guys do the same.
Submit here: https://support.twitter.com/forms/apps

same here with aopk kangy8, with a previous version it was good, it doesn't work with the last

any news? I tried another rom, but same error

It's a 4.0.3 or Twitter 3.0.1 error I think, not sure. Anyway I contacted them (FWIW) and I got the basic reply:
Hi,
Blabla thanks. Blabla assigned to an engineer. Blabla once fixed it will be posted on blabla
Sorry, thanks for being patient etc

It worked fine for weeks, only stopped a week or so ago. Something on twitter's end.

Yeah I figured in the meanwhile, not app/OS version specific, lets hope they can fix it soon because my contacts are all grey and boring atm

guess what..u guys are not alone. Mine also suddenly causing me similar issue since last night.

Definitely not an ICS issue. It has to be a twitter issue, because it also stopped working on my gingerbread-running Optimus One.

do you think it's a twitter problem or is ics?

I sent a message with the link ... waiting response now ... =)
Wait & see

Same here! No ICS Issues confirmed
I can confirm the issue, in my Xoom running ICS and also in my phone running Gingerbread, both with the same message using the same account... So I think is twitter fault...

So we have to wait for an update...

but with the first aosp I flashed, the same version of twitter I have now, worked fine. with the update of the rom, no more sync.

Same problem here.
Was working 3 weeks ago. Since then, twitter contacts sync don't work.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus with stock rom 4.0.2

Stock Rom - Facebook Contact Sync???

hey guys, is anyone else using stock rom having issues with facebook sync not updating properly? I restored my phone back to non-root and all because I thought it was an issue when i reloaded rooted stock rom. I found a thread on FB about people saying theres an issue and HTC is aware of it. Just curious if anyone else is having problems. It adds facebook HTC sense to accounts and sync, but will not load any contacts or pics.
yeah, i'm having the same issues. I'm just using syncmypix for now for the contact pictures.. unfortunately the actual FB syncing is broken
Having the same issue here. None of my Facebook contacts show up. The only thing that's actually synced is my picture and my birth date.
Looks like its not just our device, all HTC Sense devices are having issues sync'ing apparently. I read through some HTC forums and they are working on it. There was a post today on the main page:
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/htc-sense-not-playing-nice-with-facebook/
So wait the facebook not syncing with my contacts or even being able to link to my contacts is not a result of rooting my phone? I just rooted my phone yesterday and now i have no pictures or any facebook info in my phone book. I also did the OTA like 2 days ago, which is why i rooted in the first place (lost wifi tether) and untill all of this i had no problems with my phone at all.
With using the new leak of 2.2, facebook and everything is syncing just fine!

Yeah after poking around it seems all versions above (i think they said) 2.0 were having the issue for a short period of time. Probably to do some kind of server testing for the launch of froyo for evo or some phone or another. Seems to be working now and i'm going to reroot.

[Q] Facebook would not sync to nexus.

Hello,
I bought my nexus s today, and i noticed that Facebook wouldn't sync to my phone! it starts by not asking whether or not to sync contacts when i install the Facebook app and continues by not responding to 'add account' in 'accounts & syncs' in settings.
I really like the option that i can see my fav's pictures.
any ideas what can i do to solve this?
but all and all amazing phone, specially after coming from here, after two years
2.3.3 intentionally disabled facebook syncing. the way to bypass this is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7
thanks. good to know, although i don't understand why they did that.

Just like what tomm posted. This change was intentional on Google's part.
CM7 modified it to enable syncing in 2.3.3 again. You also gain a lot of extra benefits using CM7

Syncing Google calendars

Sync to Google calendar on Litening Rom v2.3 failure
Hi,
I'm am currently experiencing a similar issue. I recently rooted a Samsung Galaxy S2 (i91000) with an original kernal (XWKK2) and flashed the Litening Rom v2.3 onto the device. Everything else works fine but the syncing with google calendar. I noticed in the changelog that v2.2 had added the google calendar but I'm unsure whether the syncing aspect was added. I was originally intending to post to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095274
but because I am a new member I am unable to. I'm wondering if other people are experiencing this issue?
The error message was very vague. I will include it on a follow up post. I am hoping to bump this post as I haven't been able to find a solution yet.
Many thanks for the help,
Pat
Edited text: I'm hoping to get a response first just so I know whether to install ADB - i.e. whether this is already a known issue or not.
I had this problem and solved the syncing last night. On your mobile device go into settings, applications, manage, all, then find calendar storage and clear data. Ok that and reboot. It will then resync with your online calendar.
See vmiller's post in following link.
https://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/m/#!topic/android-market/wAutrBgUWM8
Calendar was syncing with my kf but not my Droid X. Did this on my Droid x and it syncs fine now.
Thanks so much!
I'll try this soon.
Looks like this will solve the issue.
I'll thanks the post when I can - did more then 8 today
Cheers,
Pat
Oh, and only need to do that once.
It solved the problem of new events created online or on kf not showing up on my Droid and it solved the problem of new events created on Droid not appearing online and on my kf.
IMHO , when i log in my google account , the calendar start sync
Hi guys,
I've tried it on the phone and it seems to work after the restart. However, if you restart the phone again (for any reason), the sync issues reoccur. I've found that if I clear the data, restart the phone and re-sync it works but it fails to sync again once the phone is restarted. I'll stick with the workaround for the moment but I hope a fix comes about.
Cheers,
Pat

[Q] Is corporate calendar working on JB 4.2

Has anyone been able to get corporate calendar (exchange) syncing properly on any JB 4.2?
If yes which ROM and GAPPS have been used?
Any help to further debug this issue would be highly appreciated.
OLD POST:
I just flashed JEDI SoA (wiped System/Factory/Cache/Dalvik) and everything is working fine.
I successfully configured my Exchange account ... emails and contacts are sync without any problem but nothing appears in the calendar.
I forced a sync of the calender under Settings/Accounts ... no errors ... but still nothing in the Calendar.
I also tried installing Orthus 8 and I'm getting the same problem.
Under Calendar -> Setting -> Account I see a calendar for my Gmail account but nothing under the corporate one

What ROM were you using before?
Sent from the darkside
same issue on Gnex.
I'm having the same issue on my Gnex, already on 2 different 4.2.2 ROMs. Corporate email and contacts are set up properly, but there is no Corporate Calendar in the "calendars to display" of Calendar settings. Under sync all 3 appear, calendar mail and contacts. I tried Slimbean and now on JBSourcery 5.1, both with custom (from the devs side) gapps. Could the gapps package be the fault? When I installed another 4.2.2 ROM, I installed the oficial gapps package for 4.2.2 and calendar sync was present. What apps/services are responsible for the corporate calendar sync ?
BR,
Ivan.

Initially I was using Superlite Superfast (vicom Rutumax 4.1.2) ... I'm still using as my daily drive.
Then I installed Jelly Jedi and I also tried Ortus.
Anyway before flashing the new ROM I always perform a "Wipe system" + "Factory reset" (at least 2x).
Exchange works fine on Superlite Superfast 4.1.2 (email + contact + calendar).
I never managed to get any 4.2.2 to work with Calendar ... Emails and Contacts worked initially and then stopped working after a while.
Let me try one more time ...
Has anyone been able to get corporate calendar (exchange) syncing properly on any JB 4.2?
If yes which ROM and GAPPS have been used?
If no ... is this a well know problem of JB 4.2?
Is this a ROM or GAPPS problem?
Thanks

I tried and didn't work. Email are fine but still nothing in the calendar.
Looking around I noticed that my Calendar apparently is working properly only on the distribution using Stock Exchange (SecExchange.apk) vs Exchange2.apk.
Could this be the reason?
I'm getting my outlook calendar to sync also.

Found a solution that worked for me:good:: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31803329&postcount=10
I have no data plan on my mobile so I changed "push" in settings to manual. Calendar showed up when I changed back to push. I haven't tested yet if I can sync without push though, but now know where the problem is.:laugh::victory:

Thanks snigel, followed the suggestion and worked. During the setup of the exchange account I left the frequency on "push" and the calendar was properly populated. I then changed the setting to manual and the calendar still show the exchange account in the list to sync.

maybe I'm too late... but I also had the same issue... had to set the sync to "Push". This fixed it for me. You can change back later.

Sync from mobile to Exchange does not work. The other way does

Running Cyanogenmod 13 24 May Nightly on a Nexus6.
Have not had any previous problems with calendar, contact and email sync until now.
Calendar, contacts and email was syncing fine. Until I noticed that when I added a calendar item in the phone it does not sync to Exchange. The other way around works fine. From Exchange to the mobile.
I have removed the device in Exchange, cleared the Exchange profile on the phone, added it again.
Calendar sync still not working ok.
Did a full wipe of the device installed latest Nightly and Gapps stock and tried again. Same problem but now I also get “Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly”
......
Same issue here with a few Nexus devices on stock 6.0.1. The problem seems to be the updated Exchange Services that came from the Play Store.
They are investigating the issue. Search for the thread on google support forums: Exchange-Service App don't sync
