Hey Everyone!
I'm having an issue with Facebook Sync for HTC Sense. My facebook account forced me to change my password, because it thought my account had been compromised (I threw a party, and friended EVERYONE (over 100 friends) from that party). Now I THINK when the password was changed, It may of broke facebook sync. I changed the password back to the orignal on my facebook account, and it didn't seem to give me any issues, although I didn't notice if it WAS actually syncing... Just no errors.
A day or so later, my phone popped up a warning about not being able to login to facebook. I canceled that message, and thought facebook changed my password again, which they didn't. A few days later I noticed that my contacts were not syncing from facebook.
I removed the facebook account, and waited for all my FB contacts to go away, and the FB information from my linked contacts to go away. I then Re added the account, and synced it.
I noticed the syncing feed would take about 10 seconds, but syncing contacts would take maybe a second. I checked my phonebook and noticed there were NO facebook contacts.
Does anyone else know what I can do short of a factory wipe? I've cleared all the caches allready as well.

I managed to sort it out. I took off facebook contact syncing, removed my facebook accounts from facebook and friendstream, rebooted, readded the facebook accounts leaving contact syncing off and this solved it. I'd rather not have my facebook contacts showing in my phonebook any way...
occurs when a facebook friend has put somthing stupid in the phone number section instead of leaving it balnk
I added a contact to my contact list on Thursday and it didn't show up until Friday. I made heavy changes yesterday (clearing out the useless ones) and it still has not shown up. So maybe it doesn't update every minute, I get that. What I don't get is how I have....
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the displayed lists on my contacts menu
removed and replaced "Corporate" from the Accounts and Sync > Sync Contacts option
turned off and on Auto-Sync on Accounts and Sync
....and the changes STILL haven't shown up! Do I really have to remove the account and replace it in order for changes to show up? How much of a "sync" is this if I make a change and nothing happens for days? When I turned off and on Auto-Sync, the grey sync icon appeared on the notification bar and ALL the accounts under Accounts and Sync showed they were currently syncing. I waited until the process was done, then went to my contacts list and saw no changes.
Any suggestions? How do you get changes to appear immediately or is that not how SYNC works with contacts in Exchange on this phone? My email syncs immediately, new mail and read mail will display almost simultaneously on both the phone and PC, so how come contacts won't do the same???
i did this the other night. went in and cleaned up my gmail contacts, because i had old versions of contacts that i have updated versions of in exchange. by the time i was done with editing my contacts, they were already synced with my phone...
Gmail sync is flaky sometimes. I have had many branded Android phones, and sometimes you find a change that just won't sync.
My final solution when i am really frustrated is to just delete the account from the phone, reboot and add it back.
I have not had any problems in a while though.
I have no idea if this application supports the Google Exchange Contact List (no idea what that is) but I've found MailDroid to be much much faster than either the stock mail app or the GMail app, and have lots of nice features.
Something I noticed...I set my gmail to sync hourly but it does not do that at all. Both my hotmail accounts will sync hourly but whenever I go to my gmail app, the longest time before another sync was like 22 mins. I emailed myself something through gmail once and although my sync settings were still set at hourly, I got the email 10 minutes later. Idk what's going on with that. I just now put it on manually because I'm pretty sure its turning on my 3G more times than it should.

gmail app?
Anyhow, I have my gmail sync every 15min and think it's pretty accurate...
I actually have several gmail accounts and they sync at various times with my main personal account syncing every 15min... And it all seems fine...

He probably means the Gmail email app you get once you configure a Gmail account on your WP7.
slightly different problem with gmail sync
Hey everybody,
I'm wondering if anybody else is having the same problem as me at the moment ?
I've had the phone a few months now. I experienced a few issues with Hotmail and returned to using Gmail. It used to sync and push emails flawlessly, however it seems to have stopped working which is driving me mad.
When I wake up, i'm used to seeing new messages waiting for me (mainly XDA forum news). However, the push functionality has stopped working. I open my inbox, and see a message indicating email is up to date. However, no new messages are displayed. When pushing the sync button, the inbox is synced and the new messages are displayed, despite the settings set for "as items arrive". Highly annoying and not very productive to have to check for messages manually.
I played around with the settings trying various options, I even deleted the account and started over again (which was a pain re linking contacts etc, all to no avail.
Can anybody help me to restore my push email please ? I'm getting really cheesed off now.
Thanks
Garrickus.
Could it be possible that your phone had synced with G-mail 50 minutes before you sent yourself an email, and then you received it 10 minutes later, after the scheduled hour?
BUMP
go to email account settings and check if it is showing any errors. happened to me once. I re-entered my username passoword and the error went away. Perhaps this is due to Google getting very picky these days as many gmail accounts are getting hacked.
Why not just leave it in 'push' mode? Unless you have a lot of emails every hour, push email uses less data than polling. Gmail's exchange activesync isn't exactly rock solid. Back in WM 6.xx days, I have to reset my account every few weeks.
I sync to hotmail for all my personal contacts and all of a sudden this morning none of my hotmail contacts are showing in my phone. Nothing has changed since last night and when I look in the account settings it is set up to sync contacts. Also when I go online my contacts are still in hotmail. My hotmail account is set up as an exchange active sync account and up until today it worked fine with no issues.
When I go into the contacts app I don't have any contacts for that account and when I go into groups its not even listed there at all as an account. But like I said in the account settings it is listed as syncing contacts.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this and fixed it? Or have any idea what causes it? Is it just some server issue on the hotmail side that will clear itself up randomly like it glitched out randomly? I highly doubt it's related but my phone has been unable to connect to the at&t update servers for a while now and never got the ota update I've heard about. TIA for any help.
EDIT: so I tried deleting the account and re-adding it and now some contacts are showing but not all even though the account sync shows completed. And for a second the account was listed in the contact app groups and then I literally watched it disappear. I am completely at a loss here.
I'm experiencing the same problem and can’t find a solution.
Not only my hotmail contacts keep disappearing from my standard contacts-app, also my hotmail-emails and agenda items keep disappearing. A few minutes later my smartphone tells me I’ve got new emails, but it just downloaded them back to my smartphone. The same with the contacts and agenda-items.
I already did a hard reset with my smartphone, but it keeps deleting everything from hotmail.
When I disable the synch-options for that account, it doesn’t delete my mails, contacts and agenda, but then again I have to manually look for new emails.
EDIT: I just noticed, when de synch-option is disabled for contacts, my smartphone randomly deletes everything from hotmail including the contacts. Only the contacts stay deleted, while emails and agenda-items are downloaded again.
So it probably has to be an issue with Galaxy S3 or Anroid.
I've got: Model GT-I9300 with Android-version: 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich)
Just like "erikk" my Hotmail account is set up as an Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account.
Hi all,
I encountered a rather specific issue, and i cannot resolve it.
I had to send my HTC 10 to service, and as a replacement i had iPhone 6.
I synced my google account on it, and normally used gmail and all contacts synced properly.
Now i returned to HTC 10 and i cannot sync back all contacts the the phone.
I am checking on web, on my gmail account, all contacts are still there, but on HTC 10, both People and google Contacts application for some reason cannot show all contact.
I tried reinstalling, resyncing, deleting app cache and data, restarting phone multiple times...
I tried also so isolate, if those contacts maybe have some fields that cause an issue on sync, so those contacts cannot be pulled on the phone, but 3 weeks ago i had them all normally on the phone....
The contacts that dont want to sync, haven't been newly created on iPhone, all those i had on my gmail account for ages now...
Any idea where to go on from here, who to contact?
Thank you, BR
I solved this problem by deactivating power saver. After a few minutes, Contacts started to sync with my Google account.
