My sms wont sync with fb images so after doing some research ive found that u need to sync with the sns fb account, only problem is that when i try to sign in it says there is a login error and to try again later. ive tried a bunch of times and it wont work, i cant sign into the sns twitter account either. anyone else have this problem? know how to solve it?
Maybe you can find something here.
i figured out the problem. I am usually on wifi and SNS like other apps/widgets only work when using data. dont know why this is, but i was on data and it connected immediately.

I have the At&t Captivate, but it looks like this is an issue that could stretch across all Galaxy S phones. A quick Google search will bring up quite a few posts/threads on Samsung's Facebook page about it too.
I use the built-in SNS sync for Facebook, which is what Samsung uses under the default Android Account settings.
I've flashed a few ROMs, and at some point (I think it was after trying some of the I9000 ROMs), my Facebook wouldn't sync my contacts anymore. I get the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. try again later".
The things I've tried:
-Flash back to stock & other ROMs
-Clear all cache data in CWM
-Delete SNS Account data under Application Settings
-Delete Samsung Mobile from my applications on Facebook
-Changing my Facebook password
-Tried logging in with someone else's Facebook account, same error with their's
The Android Facebook app loads up fine, but with Samsung, it doesn't sync contacts, it forces you to use SNS for that.
Under Contacts, if I go to the Activity tab, I can see the news feed, but it still errors out and won't pull any contacts over.
Any other suggestions?
Facebook changed how it does authentication, guessing samsung hasnt updated to handle that yet.
Odd that mine works fine. Only time I have seen problems is if I don't log into google account first after flashing. Just flashed to andromeda and everything synced fine.
After you've signed into facebook (settings->accounts) try going into the contact app itself and press the menu button.
2 options might work.
1. "sync sns data"
2. "get friends"
Hope this helps

I had Google setup since its required for the Market, but I didn't sync anything with it (I use Exchange), so just to try it, I checked for it to sync contacts and tried again and still got the error.

I've tried that too, and it just seems to initiate the same SNS Sync and errors out.

I'm not sure about that since some people seem to have no problems with it. I also tried someone else's Facebook account just to make sure it wasn't a setting in mine, and her's didn't work either.
Hi everyone, I hope this question hasn't been asked before (I couldn't find anything, but I'd be surprised if I were the only person with this problem).
I just got a Nexus S (not rooted or anything yet) and a friend wanted to check his email on it, but the Gmail website doesn't seem to work unless I'm on wifi (It finishes loading very quickly and all I get is a blank white page - no error message or anything). I tried going to the site directly (wwwDOTgmailDOTcom, gmailDOTcom - same problem) and accessing it through a google search (gmail, gmail login, gmail mobile, etc.), but no dice. It works fine on wifi. Is there a way to get it to work, or has anyone else had this problem? I have Java, flash, and plugins all enabled in my settings, and everything else seems to be working great both on 3G and wifi.
If that doesnt work, does anyone know if it requires a lot of data to temporarily sync someone's account to my email app and then remove the email account when they're done? I had to do that to get my friend's account to work, but I wouldn't want to do it all the time if that's what I need to do for a friend to check their email on my phone.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps out. I know it seems like a dumb question, but I'm new to Android and couldn't find anything in any of the settings menus. I assume it's because Google wants you to set up accounts for syncing, but in this case it's just for people who want to log in quickly and check their email.
(sort of a bump)
Since nobody seems to know what my problem is, could someone please check if they have any difficulties logging into gmail's website on 3G (NOT wifi) and let me know if it works? I haven't rooted or anything, so it would still help me know if it's a phone problem or something with my settings. Thanks.
i have same problem
No gmail and no downloads from google market app on 3G. All work fine through WIFI. (Droid 2 from Verizon, now using on other network).
Ok, so for the past week/week & a half I've been getting notifications that the stock email app has a sign-in error & I have to re-enter my password. I only have my yahoo account tied to it, no work email. It happens a few times a day & is pretty annoying.
I've deleted the account in the app & re-entered it, but that didn't fix it. I've re-entered my password, but after a bit, it give's me the same problem. I've changed my password in Yahoo, but still no fix.
I didn't see anything when I searched the forums, don't know if anyone else is having this prob or if I'm just special.
If its like this it has been happening alot. My wife is fed up with it.

Mine has been doing this for a few days too. Weird!
Im having trouble connecting to Facebook chat or Facebook feeds and Marketplace. I get "Can't get feeds. We are having trouble getting your feeds right now. Try again later." when looking at Facebook updates. I get "Can't connect to chat" and "Can't connect to see who's online" on the facebook chat. I've never been able to see any MSN Messenger contacts. When trying to download an app from the Marketplace I get "There is a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code: 80070490" Everything worked intitially except for the MSN Messenger. Restoring the phone corrects everything minus the MSN Messenger which is what I did last time. Restoring the phone every 2 months is not an option so I'm hoping someone can point me to a fix!
Thanks in advance!
I've just had the same problem. I tried everything. Updating phone, reinstalling Zune, but i think the only way to fix it is Hard Reset. Sorry...
1) Did you link your facebook to your hotmail account? If i remember that was required pre nodo and is how mine is setup
2) Go to email accounts under settings. hold finger on windows live and press sync (also change the setting to as items arrive for windows live)
3) Do the same for syncing with facebook account. (i also found sometimes to update friends immediately that you add through pc you have to go in there and sync the facebook
Also when you say restore... you mean from backup? have u tried a hard reset instead? (i would recommend it at this point) and are you on mango?
Hey,
I recently changed my password of my facebook account and now my phone prompted I should re-enter my passsword.
So I reenter it but it keeps saying it's wrong. I also tried deleting it, and readding it manualy and on my PC through Windows Live but it's a no-go.
Sometimes it also says "Something went wrong".
Is anyone else experiencing issues, or is there something I can do about it?
Remove it both from the phone (built-in feature) and from your Windows Live account (may need to use the website for this). Reboot the phone, and make sure the Facebook integration really is gone (no FB chat, for example). Then, re-enable them in the usual way (add the Facebook account, try to enabled FB chat, accept the connection to your WLID, etc.)
I *think* this will work.
I did this a few times and did not solve my problem
