I'm having an issue with the built in facebook support, I can sign in to flickr and twitter, but when I try to sign in to my facebook so I can link with contacts, it says that the service is currently unavailable....something I'm missing? I'm running fresh rom 0.7 with the patches.
I am having the same problem. Are you using the Hero or Eris? I have an Eris and am having this problem.
I'm seeing this post topic on all the boards right now. It must be down.
It must have something to do with the new privacy settings that Facebook just implemented.

i wonder if maybe you need to log in to facebook.com from your phone and accept the privacy policy?
Thats a no go. I just logged in to Facebook with the Android app and I still can't login through the Social network option.
Facebooks no privacy settings reset all of your privacy and app options. We may have to wait for an update for it to work properly, but mine doesn't sign in either, not even Bloo or Fbook.
not sure but....
after many...many....many retries it finally connected, that was weird, I just hope that I never have to go through that again (no more wipes for me unless absolutely neccesary)
Anyway, weird glitch, I could log in with the Facebook for Android app though, so not sure what would have caused that.

I'm pretty sure all that app does is interact with their website as opposed to using the API. Looks like the problems were with the API.
www.facebook.com is down as of right now. I tried from work internet and my phone 3g.
I imagine they are having some problems.
Good thing I found this post, I didn't notice a problem until immediately after installing unofficial MoDaCo 1.2c and I've been flashing recovery images all day trying to fix it.
It is working for me now. I haven't done anything to either my phone or Facebook options sense yesterday. Wonder what it was? Oh well, as long as it is working.
Facebook sync appears broken
To give you a little background, I've had a rooted Hero for quite a while now. I have been running Fresh 1.1 since it was released. I have also had my Facebook linked so I have all of my contacts with pictures and info in my phonebook.
Well after a few other mods on my phone like taskbars, icons, etc. I decided to wipe and go back to a fresh install of Fresh 1.1 again. I linked my Facebook profile again and after a few hours everyone was showing back up in my contacts list with pictures and such.
Last night my phone started acting weird and alot of things were FC'ing, maybe 3 or 4 things, but I didn't look at what specifically. Later last night I realized all my facebook stuff was gone again from my contacts list. I thought that maybe it was because of one of the processes that FC'd so I restarted the phone but as of this morning still a phonebook full of blank heads.
Anyone else had this issue? I've tried logging out and logging back in and everything. Any help would be appreciated, the phonebook looks so ugly without everyones pictures.
It may be a coincidence, but facebook itself has some severe issues right now. Some people are of a mind that the "new" viewing heuristics are themselves broken. You now view based on your history and interactions with/of your friends. My age there is 100 so it they write (email) to me personally.
Facebook Error
I am unable to sign into Facebook from the app it from HTC senses Facebook. I have tried wiping everything and various ROMs but im having the sane problem. any help would be appreciated
Sync Facebook Calendar
I am having a problem getting my facebook calendar to sync. I am running a Damagecontrol 2.1 Rom when I 1st set the phone up I'll see my facebook calendar entries in my calendar and eventually they disappear and the option to disply the facebook calendar also disappears. Does anyone have any insight?
facebook/google birthdays
i have some contacts that i have entered birthdays for in my google address book, however they are also friends of mine on facebook. i noticed within the calendar widgets that it lists the birthdays for these contacts twice once for the google contacts calendar and one for the facebook calendar. Is there a way to fix this so for linked contacts it only lists the birthday on one calendar.

uncheck facebook in your calendars to show.
well i would like the birthdays of friends who i dont have on google to show up still, i just don't want duplicates and i dont want to go through all my google contacts and remove their birthdays.
Contacts facebook link
Is there a way to link all contacts with their appropriate facebook account automatically, i remember in 1.5 it would auto predict and suggest linking automatically for all the contacts, there is no option to do all contacts in 2.1...
anyone know of a way to go about doing that instead of painfully going one by one...
Hi,
I've sync'd my outlook calendar with Samsung Galaxy S Android calendar. However, all my events are half an hour earlier than the actual time.
Does anyone know why this is so, and how to rectify this?
Thanks,

Can you describe how you've managed to sync your outlook with your SGS? I bet there is a large number of people interested in knowing that. Then we might also be able to find out if the half hour change always happens, and what is causing this.
What OS are you running and which version of Kies (I suppose you synced with Kies, right?)
Well, on Android, I've added my corporate email as one of the accounts, and enabled synchronization of contacts and calendar. This takes care of synchronizing my corporate email from exchange to the Samsung Galaxy S phone automatically.
What I meant by outlook contacts is going through corporate exchange which contains everything that I see in Outlook.
Running on Android 2.1. Not used Kies for this functionality.
Thanks,

Hi All,
I am facing the same issue. One more point to add. Once i try to modify the date on my sgs calender, entries are deleted from both outlook and sgs calender.
Can someone check and respond.

I am facing same problem with SGS after flashing to JH1, all my events are half an hour earlier than the actual time. Any solutions yet...?
Re: Calendar Sync Problem on Samsung Galaxy S
Any known workaround for this?
I'm having this problem on both firmware 2.1 and 2.2.
I'm syncing my Corporate Exchange Calendar, and GMail Calendar. Both are an hour wrong when they get to my phone. If I add a new entry to the Google Calendar on the phone, it will show the correct time on the phone, and an hour late on Google Calandar via the web.
The time settings and timezone are correct on the Exchange server and the phone. It does not matter if I set the time manually on the phone or use the auto Get-time-from-Network setting.
It seems to me that the Samsung Sync program adds Daylight Savings regardless of where the calendar entries are synced from, and regardless if the source has allready compensated for daylight savings or not.
I've got the exact same problem. One hour wrong.
Tried searching the web but this is the only place i have come across someone with the same problem.
Would really like to fix this
Someones got to know something about this? Anyone?

Calender events half an hour early issue
any updates on this? any one could able to crack this?
It looks like all galaxy s has this issue but I see only few people reporting and discussing about it.
its confirmed by google that 2.1 does not have native calender sync support and its developed by samsung and Samsung has to fix it.
I am wondering is it a setting that we are missing or really a bug?

My probleme turned out to be the time zone. I had to change it to gmt +2 though norway is really +1
Called samsung about it and the supportguy told me to try that and ut worked.

yes this fixes it: go to settings > time > set to manual > select your CORRECT time zone.
If the time does not match, your operator is the problem.
Keep time on manual, do not change timezone, but manually adjust the time to the correct time.
Hi all, I've updated to Mango and ever since then my Google contacts list has failed to sync ("there was a problem syncing, please try again later error 8004010f"). This is with a Google account tied to another email address not an @gmail.com address. If I put in an incorrect password or incorrect server details I get different errors so it seems as if I'm at least getting the details correct. I've tried all the steps I could find (mainly a useless KB article) so I'm wondering whether it's a Mango thing. Or possibly a Google+ thing?? (No I'm not on it.) Either way I foolishly unchecked the 'sync contacts' box so i now dont have any contacts

My google account sync perfectly with mango in my trophy...so must be something in your phone...Maybe the tied account has to do something with it
I figured it wasn't a common problem or I wouldnt be the only person complaining about this
Well, some more testing, I have tried deleting the account from my wp7 and adding it again - still the same error msg.
Bizarrely, though my Google contacts don't show up in my people hub, if I go to the hub and search for a contact and then hit "search Google directory" the contact will appear.
Also, checking my Google dashboard under Google Sync shows a "last sync: 8:25pm" or whenever the last time I tried to sync was. So I'm fairly certain this is an issue with my particular phone...Maybe it's time to hit the Microsoft support forums!

I think I know what's up
So I woke up this morning and the google sync button required attention. So I clicked on it and synced and well.. my contacts disappeared. Now I was perplexed by this. I erased and re introduced my account information. And nothing... so I went ahead and went to the Gmail webclient and somehow my contacts had been deleted. Google now has a function where you can restore your contacts. And I was able to sync again... Lets see how long this lasts. Let me know if you are able to fix your issue

I'm having the same issue on my Arrive. Can't sync and foolishly tried to delete and reconnect now all my contacts are gone. Did you figure out anything?
Actually, its not the exact same issue as I reread your problem as I am trying to sync directly with a gmail account, however, I am having the same results and same error.
Ah yes. I should've updated this. I never found a fix...but what I did do was add Gmail and Calendar to my google account. Then it synced fine. Not ideal as I never use Gmail but meh. Sorry I haven't got anything better!

I've been using Hotmail since 1999 and recently I downloaded Hotmail for android app. Everything was smooth until I tried to enter a new contact, where I found that I cannot do that. Partially I mean. I can only enter the name field and nothing else. I cannot edit the synced contacts too.
because HTML mail was not possible with the default mail app in android and exchange in Hotmail, I used to forward my mail to Gmail and use the Gmail app.
I was very joyed with this app release and now facing this bug.
I googled but couldn't find any solution or similar bug reports.
Am I the only unlucky person or others have this problem too. I'd there any fix for this.
I have already tried removing and re-adding, uninstall and reinstall.
I am using cm7 on my wildlife.
Thank you in advance.

You are not alone! Still looking for a solution myself.
Have you tried using another email client and signing in through it?
Same problem here. Hotmail worked great through Activesync on Android, but this app is much nice. But contacts edit is not working at all !! And not found any fixes thus far.
-sony xperia arc w/stock kernel
Still to fix
Sorry to say that I am having the same issue. Have to been able to find a fix. Please let all know if anyone can figure this out.
Thanks.
Same problem here
I too have the same problem. I erased everything, tried with another gmail account, made sure to not sync anything with gmail, with no avail. This is a huge bug.
Response from Hotmail
So I contacted Hotmail about this issue. Here was there response:
"We aplogoize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. Please understand that the ability to edit contacts on Hotmail app for Android phones is currently not available. However, our product team was already aware of it and a fix is being considered.
Thanks,
Windows Live"
Hopefully this fix will be soon.
How silly to create an app without editing capability... i have switched back to exchange. works seamlessly.

No HTML mail with exchange on my Wildfire....
I'm looking for a solution to this one too. The Hotmail app is actually pretty good, but the inability to edit contacts is an odd bug.
Solution
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market. It lets you edit the hotmail contacts and sync them back up.
I've only tested it for about a minute, but it seems to work.
I gotta tell you.
I've done a research. Microsoft is aware of the issue since about November/December 2011. SEVEN (the actual manufacturer) confirms it and reports work in progress (in February/March?), an update to the app has been issues by the end of February but the issue has not been addressed and has not yet been resolved.
I used Microsoft's support forums to ask the question, how to sync the contacts then, if nothing works as intended.
One of forum's moderators confirmed the issue, another asked how did I exactly try to sync.
If you would be kind enough to visit the question page yourselves and click "I have that question too", I'd be thankful. Maybe they'd actually do something instead of constantly apologizing and confirming either the issue or the progress of the works...
I tried Contact Editor Free by dmfs in the Market like Joe USer and works ok

use Contact Editor free by Marten Gajda.
worked for me.
Don't know why I never noticed this before when I was using my Galaxy S2 but it hit me today on my Nexus 4. I was trying to find out why Bluetooth handsfree calling through my Garmin wasn't working and it is because the Garmin has all my contacts showing last name first even though they aren't presented that way on the phone. When I tried to view the contact directly through the Contacts app, I saw that it was showing last name first and I couldn't edit the contact to try and fix it.
We are what, over a year since this was first recorded here and still no fix other than a third party app? This wasn't an issue on my BlackBerry.
On top of that, it makes handsfree unusable since there seems to be no way to get the contacts to list with the first name first. The contacts are all fine on Outlook.com so something is getting messed up with how they are presented in Android.
So what I have found is that I can't add new contacts to the S8+ and they get saved to my outlook/live account for some reason. I even approached the Samsung rep at ATT and he said it is a known issue with Android and Outlook.... I thought that seemed very odd. He suggested I add the contacts locally and sync should pick them up. I am not sure about that and sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about.. I asked him if he recommended any other course of action I showed him the account/cloud was up to date and I even had the outlook app. No (new) contacts in either.
My next attempt will be to try and save to my gmail account and see how it does. Any suggestions as I have seen there is a contact sync fix suggested in playstore for gmail. Is there a fundamental issue with account sync or do I have too many accounts on my device (5)?
Great device small annoyances.
