yeah, you installed something that turned it off. happens to everyone.
Settings->Accounts & Sync->Auto-sync should be checked.
you're welcome.
well it's checked....that's why i'm asking.......
damn. i thought i'd try. alright... have you tried say, removing an account? something like Facebook. then adding it back and see if it Facebook auto-syncs?
will try that. Still the same....wtf is wrong?
When I clock on SYNC NOW that circle isn't spinning like used to.......
Could be low space on internal storage? IT WAS THIS.....

What did you expect it to do? Download them fresh every time and hold them in program memory so you've got no space to run the OS?
well i only wanted some picture for my favorite contact and link them to their facebook account
didnt want 2000 profile picture and infos on my phone !

I have just tried to re-sync my facebook contacts with my htc desire (previously had them on but wiped them all because I was annoyed about seeing people who i never wanted to phone in my phone list)
But now it just keeps on coming up with "process has stopped" error after I do it and doesn't seem to sync?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Why can't android just have a system where you individually link each contact in your people list with a facebook account??
I'd say add their photos manually to your google account (but unfortunately you'll face the bug of low quality images). Or create a fresh Facebook account for your favorites

You can individually connect/disconnect contacts in your phone/ google with their facebook accounts if you use Facebook for HTC Sense, with the "link" icon on the top-right corner or the Sync Tab in the contact details card. Then uncheck Facebook in People>Menu>View
Whenever I try to link a contact with Facebook, it comes up with no matches found, like I dont have my facebook linked to my phone.
As i said, when I try to sync my facebook contacts the phone says the process has had to be stopped running (error message)

If it's not a problem for you do a factory reset.
On another note, if you just signed into your facebook account, wait a bit as sometimes it takes time to sync, especially with many facebook friends.
a factory reset doesn't delete anything on my sd card does it, just my downloaded apps and contacts/accounts etc?
Can i back stuff up before I do it?

No it doesn't.
What stuff do you want to backup? The phone system, built-in backup should restore your messages, bookmarks and personal settings.
You can find that in Settings>Privacy
I was wondering if someone could help me out.
Today when I went to settings, accounts and sync I get the below message.
Sync is experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
It has been like this all day and I have tried unchecking and rechecking autosync. I have also press the button that says sync all. Still getting the same message.
Any idea what may be happening or what I can do? Thanks.

yes it is. I think I got it figured out. Under manage accounts the message was popping up for Twitter, but none of my other accounts. When I click on twitter, Sync Twitter was working perfectly, it was Sync Contacts (twitter contacts) that wasn't. I unchecked sync contacts and no more error.
I didn't really want my Twitter contacts to show up under my phone contacts anyway.
thanks.
under 'accounts and settings' i'm finding facebook contacts sync like it was before gingerbread 2.3.3 came out
Yeah. It always shows there. But when you try to add it to sync, it just goes back to the page that shows you accounts that are already synced. it never adds FB.

Doubt it. Its always been like this. Since Android 2.3.4 Facebook camera sync has been broken. Don't think they're about to bust it out. Could be wrong based on how responsive Facebook has been the last couple weeks as far as the app goes, but guess we'll see.

Well hopefully they leave OUT the functionality bit that automatically DELETED phone numbers from your address book when someone takes their phone number off their facebook profile.
I lost close friend's phone numbers more than once on my old Droid X because of this "functionality"
Facebook can't add it back since Google blocks com.facebook.katana in the sync providers package on the Nexus line.
Google removed it since Facebook doesn't allow exporting of contracts.

GNex 4.0.4 stock and I cannot add the sync option at all: i click on ADD ACCOUNT, choose facebook but then nothing happens 9see attached image)
What I find interesting is that my Accounts and Sync now shows that Facebook is synced with my G-Nex.
It always used to be that I could go to "add account" and "add" facebook. However, when I would click on the button to add it, it would simply go back to the "add account" screen. It would not show Facebook as an account.
I havent tried in a while, but I noticed today that it said Facebook was an account on the phone and it showed the green sync button. I clicked to refresh and it did it's thing and said that it was "refreshed at whatever the time was.
Anyhow, I never had it say that it was synced before, but it does now. Seems like others have had this happen as well, but I figured I would report it as it is something new for me.
Stock Rom, Not rooted or anything. FB version 1.9.3.
Also, while it says that it is synced, when I go into my "people" app it shows Facebook as being synced, but when I click on it to show the facebook contacts it only shows one, and that is my own info.
Like I said though, my phone never even showed that FB was even an option, let alone actually synced so I figured I would report. thanks.

The change happened with an update to ICS. Blocked providers will now still show under Accounts even though sync'ing is still disabled in the OS itself for that particular package name.

I'm on stock 4.0.4 And been on it for a while. I never had it say that it was actually synced before though. I've had the option to sync Which always failed when I attempted to do it. Now it not only shows that it has the option to sync but it also shows that it is synced with Facebook.

Hey guys,
Wondering if anyone knows whats going on with this or if it is just my phone. I get emails to my phone instantly no problem, but when I delete them from my phone (this is all through the gmail app) they aren't deleted when I check them on my PC. The phone shows they are deleted because I did the delete from the phone, but on my PC the emails are still sitting there unread. I gave it about 15-20 minutes to see if it was just a sync issue, but they didn't seem to be deleted. Any one notice this as well? My epic 4g touch definitely deleted my emails. Thanks for any help!

I am having the same issue. Resolve it yet?
Sometimes there is a sync issue with Gmail app and Gmail. I would try to clear cache and data from the Gmail app and un-check sync from your accounts. Then recheck sync.... It's something to try.
I have this question, in ICS when i install the facebook app, its ask me to sync my contacts in with facebook (the existing, i mean the contacts in my phone to update with fb photo, info, etc) but in jellybean i cant, i see the account there, i turned on the sync option, but it doesnt do anything.
Someone know what to do?
The functionality has been deliberately disabled by Facebook. There was something of a controversy about it back when it happened. So, yeah. Not happening anymore.
So,do you know any good app that do that work very good? like ICS without any problem
Contact sync for facebook in the play store. Try that out.

I use Friendcaster and it syncs the contacts pretty well. I started using it when Facebook upgraded to 2.0 and kept having network errors. The contact sync was just a plus.
