Do any of the devs on here have any clue as to why there seems to be so many issues with Facebook Sync for HTC Sense ?
I've tried Fresh, DC and RegaW, and I'm still getting sync issues....
As we draw nearer to an official release, I'm hoping that it will be ironed out, but as of right now, Facebook Sync for me is broken.

It is because of memkill settings. The sync doesn't have a chance to get started. If you relax them, FB usually syncs in 5 mins.
This information is in the Damage thread. I know there a lot of posts in each Damage thread, but you're about to get flamed for starting a new thread for this topic.
Hope that helps and ignore the ones who just b!tch at you for this thread.
But I've always changed autokiller to default, and it's the same problem....

I tried everything under the sun, and it didn't work until I set that to default. Within 5 mins. it worked. Did that twice.
Sorry man.
hmmm. maybe i've got something else killing stuff.....aaaaaargh
Have you tried the forced refresh method?
im starting to think the problem is deeper than that if you actually dig deep into the sync setting you will notice that 2.1 has a Facebook Sync and HTC Sense Facebook Sync.
Menu - Setting - Accounts & Sync - Add Account
Exchange ActiveSync
Facebook
Facebook for HTC Sense
Flickr
Google
Twitter
You can make changes to the Facebook for HTC Sense but not for Facebook...
Possibility of the two of them clashing???
causing it to take longer for it to sync

I thought that as well.
I wonder if there's an apk you can remove....
The regular "Facebook" option controls the actual facebook app. If you bring up the facebook app and logout and then select that option it will take you the login screen for the app.

That's Completely understandable but still doesn't mean their can be a conflict from one of the .APKs from facebook
I too have had sync issues with Facebook for HTC Sense where it will only allow me to link my People contacts from Facebook until the letter L for my friends. Im running DC 2.07.2 and can't for the life of me find the autokiller app if there is one running. I've tried searching so if someone could help me tune it down to sync or explain the force refresh method I'd appreciate it.

Or better still, can anyone please explain how to REMOVE the memkill/autokill stuff ?
What can we do to have this left as default stock mem-kill ???
Also, has anyone actually PROVEN that the issue is with the mem kill stuff ? I mean is there a log that shows that the session has been killed halfway through running ??
That's why I initially asked if any devs have managed to look into this ?
I'm not good enough at all this logcat stuff to be able to give an educated response, but all I know if that it's not working properly, and I'd like to understand why....

That's true, they could still be competing. I've had varying results with Sense syncing. I was fine, had all contacts synced, could select to view fb contacts in the fb app, changed my facebook password re-added my account for fb sync in sense, now my linked contacts are pulling the fb info, and i lost the ability to select fb in the view menu.
when i first synced with facebook on 2.1 it only synced to the letter L like most people but if you leave it alone it will eventually pull the rest of the sync info from facebook
I used minfree manager and then removed the FB sync account. I then used the default settings in minfree and set up FB to sync again. My fb calendar was synced for about 12 hours but now its gone again. So it appears changing the mem killer helps but it is not a permanent solution.

Even after waiting and letting all my contacts sync, I still get multiple "View Facebook Profile" under friends that I have higher in the alphabet as opposed to having that option once for one of my friends whose name starts with a 'z'
what i've done every time i load a new 2.1 rom works for me and i've had 0 facebook link problems
i will sign into facebook/gmail/flickr on my first boot up
i go to photos/facebook tab and then i scroll to each person and let their thumbnail load
takes like 30 seconds to a min *i don't have more than like 75 fb friends*
THEN i sync my outlook contacts and it always works flawlessly

The Sprint Leak 2.1 took a long time to fully Sync probably a good 2 hours =/
my mem settings are now stock
echo "1536,3072,4096,5120,5632,6144" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
and I'm still not syncing properly....
I'm running a stock, non-rooted GS3. My contact icons are weeks out of sync with profile pictures and I can't get new contacts that are saved to display the picture. I went to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Facebook, and forced a sync a few times in the past 24 hours but it won't update anyone. How can I correct/update this? Thank you!
Go into your contacts on the phone and open the contacts you want to sync with your Facebook and make sure that they are linked via Facebook... If it is google only seems that for some reason it doesn't always update the photo....

Both Google and Facebook are set. Those settings are correct, I just can't figure out why the profile/contact pictures are weeks out of sync with some new contacts not even syncing at all.

Thats the glory of the Facebook app for Android.... It functions when it wants too..... Hopefully they are actually working on it.... There are other apps on the market for FB that allow better syncing with FB
Not a true "fix", but corrected it by clearing the cache from the app + all data from Settings > Applications, deleted it from Play then re-installed it. Again, not a fix, but resolves the issue in about 5 minutes.
I have the 11/22 driver (update 5) on the Infuse and I cannot get past the authentication screen for calendar.
After I plug in my uid/pw it says "Couldn't sign in". This must be a default message for something because when I test with an invalid credential it simply says bad uid/pw.
Does anyone have a working calendar on 4.4 ?
I had a similar problem. I downloaded the google calendar from the play store though and it seems to be working fine.
fixed by replacement

Thanks !
It seems that the calendar application included in gapps (green grid icon) does not work . I disabled it and downloaded the calendar application from Google:good: play (blue page folding icon) which worked without setup.
Google must have switched the application and we are still flashing with a wrong gapps.:good:
that green icon calendar is the stock android aosp calendar app. its not part of gapps, though you used to be able sync your google account with it. i dont know if you still can because they killed off google sync a while back. its still needed for other things like exchange accounts. google released a dedicated google calendar app like a year or so ago so you should use that anyways.
Thanks

Thank you for the explanation !
I had been using the green icon calendar all this while .... did not know enough to go the blue icon calendar app.

If the AOSP calendar is uninstalled and the blue Google calendar installed will calendar on lock screen function properly? I'm not on 4.4 yet but just curious. Thanks!
I've noticed that the Gmail app on the SW2 doesn't seem to update all the time. I've currently only got 5 messages in there, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it - previously it was only showing 1 email.
Similar story with Messaging.
So my questions are - is there a way to force an update/push to the watch?
At this time, Gmail Smart Extra won't handle multi mail accounts even it appears to.
If it's your case, just select a single account, you'll see it syncs just fine
Then, you'll have to do a "trick" (forwarding or fetch other accounts won't work properly) to get all your other account's mails into this selected account (lemme know if you'd like me to walk you through this).
Also, if you have some sort of energy saving feature enabled on your phone, Gmail might not sync/push notifications to your SW2 as often as you wish/think...

I've got just the one Gmail account.
It's also not working for the messaging extension, either.

No Energy Saving feature enabled? ie. Sony Stamina?

Hi, had my x3 pro a week and now the Gmail and chat notification sounds aren't working, pop up works but no sound. eBay sound works. Anyone got any idea how to cure this? I've gone through all permission settings and even reset Gmail.
Well, done a factory reset last night, still got the problem, get occasional vibration alerts from ebay app but no sound and no vibration or sound alerts from Gmail but the notifications do appear in the bar and floating notifications work. Speakers work, boot sound works, media audio works.
Any idea? Is this a MIUI thing? Thinking about sending back to Amazon if i cant sort this soon.

So do you think it's a google problem and not a MIUI issue? Hopefully, it'll get patched soon. I'll wait a week and see what happens.

Thanks, swapped over to the Outlook client until Google sort it out.
Please, outlook works fine.
I have a Poco X3 Pro phone that is not rooted and the bootloader is locked
For several days now, when I receive an email, its Gmail app does not play a notification sound
3 Gmail accounts and 2 Yahoo accounts have been added and none of them will play notifications
I did not make any adjustments to the settings
He had no problem before.
I have the same problem
Is this the only problem with this phone?
Do I have to wait for the Gmail update?
2chem20 - yes check update gmail aplication or use outlook email client.
Yeah, I've installed outlook client and it works fine, I'll keep using that until Google Gmail gets updated

Manage your email & calendars on Outlook & collaborate with anyone, anywhere
play.google.com
