Anybody with enough guts to delete their facebook sync account on their evo, reboot, then readd the account to see if their facebook contacts sync?

Already tried it about 5 times with no luck. I read elsewhere that it's a FB server issue.
Mine worked before I rooted, installed CM6 and then reverted back to stock 1.47 rooted image.
good to know. i spent HOURS trying to figure it out. now i have to reroot my phone becaue i unrooted trying to fix this ****.
I've been having issues with it all day and I'm on an unrooted rom. I deleted my facebook several times and even data wiped my phone trying to get it to work, all with no avail.
I have been going crazy about this also, trying numerous methods I found on Google. None of which worked. The weird part is it pulls my profile info from facebook, but nothing else, is that the same issue you all are having also?
It's definitely an issue on FB side (FB servers). Guys on Crackberry.com are having the same issues. It's not android specific.

Firstly, I'm running the rooted stock rom (OTA 1.45..). I don't know if this has been a problem SINCE I've rooted, as I don't go on facebook much, but, one of my friends, I just dded her on facebook the other day, and then noticed that it wouldn't let me link her fb account on her contact card because her fb account wasn't present in my contacts.
Anyways, whenever I try to refresh my facebook contacts, it takkes me back to the "online directories" screen with a message that says CONNECTION ERROR.
I can login to my fb just fine and things like my friendstream and the facebook app itself are ok, but, my contacts will not update at all.
Is there a file I'm supposed to flash, or what? Any help would be appreciated.
This has been discussed here and everywhere else
As of right now, their seems to be a problem with the Facebook servers. You can log into Facebook for HTC Sense fine, but it will show that you have "no friends". When you attempt to refresh, it will just load up and then exit out of the program with the "connection failed" error.

Sorry. I've seen discussions about it, but with so many different RoMs out, I wanted to make sure it was system wide rather than one or two in-particular. Thank you though.
weird, when I try to add facebook for sense to my accounts sync, it says warning the service is curently unavailable. do you want to try again? and never works.
Nothing new. It's been broken for over a week. It has nothing to do with being rooted.

This is the first I've heard of Facebook not working... mine has been working with no problems whatsoever. (and I'm constantly on it, refreshing all of the time) Maybe it's not as widespread as some people think?
Facebook for Android works.
Facebook for Sense is not working.
Two different things that people are getting confused. It has been down since last week. It has nothing to do with ROOT or NONROOTED phones, it has to do with Facebook's connection or server hence the "connection error" that is displayed when you try to refresh your contacts.
I'm going to take a look at logcat when I can but it doesn't seem to be a connection issue (at least with authentication). Deliberately enter the wrong password and you'll see.
An issue with Facebook none the less.

Exactly. You can log in successfully, but when it comes to getting your contacts between Facebook servers and your phone, it isn't working. Somewhere there is a disruption between the 2. Androidforums.com has been on this for a while and even the HTC.com forums have had people talking about it.
From what someone mentioned, this happened to the iPhone a few weeks ago and was successfully fixed ASAP...
Soooo, basically, we're just waiting for it to fix itself?
... ugh.

I'm sure this issue will be fixed ASAP (As Soon As Possible) too, rather than just sitting around twiddling their thumbs...
Go here this should work. Be sure to read my post as well.

The problem seems to be fixed now. I just happened to open my people app, and pow! Facebook friends and contacts were updated. Pictures, updates, everything.
Anyone else having this problem?
I cleaned up my contact list, which seems to be the issue i read on another website, and flashed Skyraider rom to my phone. noticed i wasn't getting msg, so i went back to stock, same issue.
I can get msg both ways from my pc, or other programs, which makes it that much more weird.
Just wondering if any of your guys had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve?

Have you cleared the data and cache in the application settings? I've seen odd issues happen with Gmail that are fixed by doing that after installing different ROMs.

Issue with Google. check below for more info if your effected by this issue.

Lately, as I delete emails after I have read them within the Gmail app, they will show back up in the Inbox a little while later, sometimes as new/unread mail and sometimes showing as unread emails in the Inbox counter but not actually showing in the Inbox.
I've done several things to try and fix it:
- Went into Applications and cleared the caches (problem eventually comes back)
- Cleared the caches as well as uninstalled the Gmail updates then reinstalled from Market (problem eventually comes back)
I've searched through the forums and can't find where anyone has written about having this issue or resolving it. Has anyone here run into this and if so, how did you go about resolving it?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve this issue?
No "final" solution that fixes it...just have to keep doing the 2 steps I wrote about and the problem goes away for a while.
It happens maybe every 2 weeks and seems to pop up when I haven't gone into Gmail and emptied my trash from within the Gmail site for a while. Also seems to come back if I read through emails too quickly; maybe an issue with reading and then deleting on the phone before the phone can push back to the server that it's been read...just guessing.
Sorry...

Go to manage applications, find GMail then force stop it. clear cache and then clear data. Reopen GMail and set up the label sync etc how you like it and should be good. Hope this works for you, let me know.
Thanks ifly! Haven't tried the force stop part before so I just did it. I'll report back if anything comes back.

No problem at all. Hope it fixes it. I have this happen quite a bit after a nand backup or restore. When I do a nand restore i always wipe data/factory reset, then cache and davlik now and that seems to fix the problem. Not sure what is getting hung up in the data to cause this.
That's what's been bugging me as well...I do all the wipes when I do a nand restore or load a new rom but Gmail always seems to go back to this stranger behavior. I looked all over these forums (and others), hoping someone had at least seen the same thing but to no avail.
UPDATE: Started having the same issue with Gmail. Was honestly hoping the last suggestion would help...guess not.
Any other ideas...anyone?
Login to gmail from a browser.
Click settings and then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab
Check the settings there. I have both pop enabled and IMAP.
What are yours set to?
I've got them both enabled as well.
hmmm not sure what the deal is then...strange.

I'm having similar issues as well. I would get an email notification, open gmail, read it, delete it. Few minutes later, it shows up as an unread email but does not appear in my inbox. If i go to my "all" email box, it's there. I also still see it on my desktop PC. It finally goes away when I delete it from my PC. Another major problem that has not been mentioned here is that I cannot send an email from my EVO using the gmail app. It just keeps sitting there in my outbox. Very frustrating.

Hey Guys,
Been experiencing gmail issue for the last couple of weeks.
Desire Z, now with the OTA update - used to have root, task managers, but did factory data reset which should remove those two, correct?
Upon boot, gmail functions well, and pushes my mail thru well, then after a while, i'd go into the gmail app and refresh, and a flurry of emails would come thru, some hours old.
I've done several factory resets, at the moment have weather sync every 3 hours, gmail, exchange (push), facebook for sense every 12 hours, and whatsapp.
Not sure how the native gmail app works, is it exchange? proprietary sync? imap idle? or thru the google cloud service?
been reading and people have cleared the gmail cache as a temp workaround, but I find this annoying, and its results are hit and miss.
I have tried on gmail app version 2.3 and 2.3.2 (latest)
any ideas?
PS - background data on, sync on, all on!
Native gmail app is pushhhhhh. It should be pushing down....
I have had troubles with syncing but I flash so muchstuff I'm never in the same place at the same time. So a wipe is always the fix everytime.
If I were you id quit on the weather (look up at the sky) and facebook. Eliminate the junk if you are trying to fix something substantially important. See what happens. Try a wipe they feel good actually.
vision
Thanks for the suggestion,
over the weekend (Xmas weekend) i wiped twice, both times i didnt install anything else, both times after a period of time, it would stop pushing.
I have no idea now hahaha
Ok, so i just did it again, factory reset, formatted SD card, completely clean phone.
installed only my gmail account and my work exchange account. nothing else.
my push gmail worked for about 1/2 hour, and stopped again.
The problem is with Gmail. They just updated the.app. go to the Market and download the new app before you.delete your whole phone or something.

Yea.. I was having the same problem yesterday. Went to the market, saw there was an update. After I downloaded it, it fixed everything. Hummmm. Let me check my version # yup. I'm 2.3.2
anyone else experiencing this issue? I am only showing 370/408 contacts. I tried to troubleshoot this with google and they couldn't figure it out. They reassured me that it would eventually sync.
Yup. Same issue, only on an OG Pixel XL.
yes, same issue, even reset phone twice now to try and get it to work
giving errors at time also if I try to add a new one.
Same here on smaller Pixel 2 on 8.1. WTF Google. Do they ever test their ****?
So I do frequent the Pixel 2 XL forum b/c I had one and returned it but looking to get another if the price drops. Point of me posting now though is that I am still using my 6P and having this issue as well. So looks like google messed up something. Luckily they released a december patch for 8.0 as well so I'm going to do that instead since I'm missing contacts that I frequently communicate with. No clue how they can mess up something so simple.
edit: also, my win10 laptop will not recognize the phone in MTP mode unless usb debugging is on. 8.0 didn't have that issue either. I did freshly flash twice and factory reset just in case but that made no difference with the contacts issue nor the MTP mode not working without USB debugging on.
Just a note, the issue exists on the 8.1 stable, and on the 8.0 stable. I don't think it's related to the update, it's an issue with contacts itself.

I was just coming back in here to mention that. I clean flashed back to 8.0 with dec security patch for my 6P and those same contacts are missing. Not sure what channel to go through to report this issue.
same problem pixel 2 xl
i found that if I removed the profile url a contact would sync to the phone. see atttachment

I found if you go to the old contacts UI web interface, you can select people in your circles from G+. At least for my contacts, everyone that had a linked G+ account had that profile URL in the contact entry.
I just got my Pixel 2 XL today, immediately flashed 8.1.....and I have this problem.
I exported all my contacts to csv, removed the profile columns, deleted all Gmail contacts, and re imported

Thank God for XDA, I was going nuts after noticing half of my contacts were gone, including my wife's, mom and brother. Thought it was related to the 8.1 update but guess not. Hopefully we get a fix later tonight or tomorrow.
I have the same issue. Brand New Pixel... I thought it was defective. Just pulled it out the box and when it didn't sync I thought i had a major issue so I did the google support call and the rep told me it was a known issue and should be resolved in 1 to 2 days.
Funny, I was just noticing the same. And it's bad because one of the missing contacts is my wife! Lol
This is not a 8.1 or a Pixel issue, I tested it on a Nexus 5 on Marshmallow by removing and re-adding my account and it also happened there. Took me a few factory resets to finally figure it out cause I was setting up a new Pixel 2 XL by copying from another phone. I realized that as soon as the phone is copied all the contacts are there on the new phone, but after a contact sync some go away, so I just tuned contact sync off immediately after entering Android on first boot. I'm gonna wait it out until they fix it on their end.
