I ve been looking for a while with no success on the forum.
A friend just got the Defy but cannot get facebook to sync his contacts.
Phone is fresh, with no root or custom rom.
I installed for him the Facebook app which sat on top of the stock facebook app and still no luck. There is no sync contacs in facebook > settings.
In Settings> Accounts> Add, there is the option for facebook but clicking on it will do absolutely nothing (well.. the icon does get colored when clicking but just that!).
did he add Facebook to his Motoblur Accounts?
I had the same problem with a modded rom. Went back to stock and all ok.

The Greek ROM is the CEE ROM, the Central Europe ROM and it does not include Motoblur. The official Facebook app won't sync, not sure if it's a bug or intentional. The only way is to flash the phone with a Motoblur enabled ROM, but then no more Greek menus, so it's up to your friend.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Not having greek menus is not a problem, but the phone is not rooted. Need to root to get a english-facebook-working rom?
Hi, my Defy is just 5 days old and I'm also experiencing the same issue. Mine's Asian firmware (with no motoblur) and is experiencing the same error.
Just wanna ask if I will just do the same procedure- using RSD Lite to flash another ROM? I've downloaded UK firmware JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 (with a note "You cannot downgrade after flashing this firmware.")
Is it safe to flash this directly to my asian FW JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 ??
I can confirm that the Greek firmware version (which you can find at Germanos Romania) has the problems with the Facebook app.
From what I found the problem seems to be the Facebook app and you can't do much about it.
I gave up on searching for a while, but I'll get back after I finish customizing the phone. Maybe the much expected update will save us all.
Cheers!

It's "safe", the flash will work without a problem - BUT - I'd recommend you actually flash the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 ROM. It's a bit older, but many people who upgraded to the 2.51 version have had issues upgrading to Froyo later - so I'd suggest you avoid it. The 2.21 ROM has no such issues.

That won't work, he states he already is on version 2.51 which means he cannot flash anything earlier, the phone won't boot. He can safely flash the UK 2.51 though.
Exact same problem here. Phone was on firmware 2.51 out of the box so nothing I can do about that. I also installed latest facebook app and indeed tapping facebook in the add accounts screen does nothing. I am using rom Adlxmod F4D version 2 which is Froyo.
Read somewhere on the internet that it can also be device specific so facebook does not natively support sync for all phone models. Hope that is not true...
Here they have a modified Facebook apk for sync to work on a CM rom for the EVO 4G. Maybe someone can do the same for the Defy.
And more interesting stuff to read.
Nobody is interested to investigate this a little bit more? I've been looking into modding apk's but I found nothing about locking in or out certain devices. Also tried random text searches, call them educated guesses, in the apk-files but again found nothing. It seems that Facebook sync is only supported in Android 2.2 and since the Defy officially still has 2.1 it probably takes a while before Facebook officially allows us to sync.
somebody pls look into this! I need facebook sync soo badly!
Facebook sync solved!
I am on Pays ROM and had the same error trying to sync Facebook contacts.
The answer is here my friends:
Look up the Social Buzz apk on the net.
I've found it in a multiupload link on the net.
The socal buzz apk comes in a zip file with 2 apps to instal.
First install pluto and then install the Social buzz apk.
It logs in Facebook quickly and it restores the Facebook contacts sync.
is there a way to sync facebook contacts with the ones in gmail? because that would solve the problem (btw i have the blurless hungarian rom too). i know you can load gmail contacts to facebook, the question is if it is possible to do it the other way around...

I had the same problem with my htc magic ruining on CM 6.1.
But after that I installed the skype app and synced contacts with that, the fb sync started to work too...
Maybe that can work here too.

hello!
hey guys! i have the same problem!! i was running the stock 2.2.2 asian firmware on the defy, and well it didnt work!! then once i rooted my device and started swapping roms i realised it didnt work on quite a few custom roms!! today i was reading this article about how googles taking a stand and something to do with contacts linkining on facebook! so lets see maybe in a future update of face book we'll get lucky!
I used an app that syncs the picture of my facebook contacts, I can't remember the name, but there's one. But it syncs only the picture.
The contacts sync isnt yet supprted in the official facebook app but there is a rom that lets you merge facebook without the need of a blur account. The latest Taiwan released 2.3.4/4.5.2-109 lets you add facebook and other networking accounts with contacts and inbox sync. Check it out in the Development forum.

Hi there..
I install MIUI ported rom and facing some issue like cant access google via browser. And i cant login to some social apps like twitter. it says date and time is wrong..
is it bug or what?
thanks and sorry for my bad english.
Hi everyone,
I have a really boring issue, I can't parameter any of my email (infomaniak, work-email, school-email) but gmail on my CM12.1 with my S4 mini I9195.
- I checked my school tuto and my infomaniak tuto to parameter pop3/imap on android phone.
- I did exactly the same as asked by tutos (adress of mail-server, security protocol, port, username, password)
- I also tried every possibility between security protocol and port, "no security" included.
- I'm sure the servers are right because if I type them wrong I have an error with the server.
- I tried on both stock email-app of CM12.1 and gmail-app, I always have a nickname & password error when the app is checking servers, except... my gmail email...
- I also tried to do that both with my wifi at home and my 4G, same issue
I don't know what to try next, I already checked tens of forums threads, nobody is talking about general issue, it's always specific app or mail problem, generally due to a wrong server adress or protocol or username/pw
Is there any problem with mail-authentification on CM12.1 ?
Did I forgot something to parameter on phone instead of email-app ?
Any idea ?
install a different exchange service and disable the 5.1.....

I disabled the version 5.1 of Services Exchange and I installed com.google.android.gm.exchange Version 6.5-1729047
Your idea was good, I'm quit silly to not have though about it but, it's still doing user/pw problem
Do you think I should try with older version of exchange service than 5.1 ? Maybe that's not this causing the issue...
Thx for answer TheBroos, waiting for other idea

I don't have that problem. i installed cm12.1 on two different i9195 phone's. maybe the gapps version?

That's enought for me, maybe too much already.
But what is the point of GApps here ? There is no link with the fact I want my mail on my phone and google apps ? No ?
EDIT : I checked the full package content of GApps, there is no apps linked to mail except GMAIL that I installed to test mail-parameter on my phone
Up, any ideas ? If I forgot something to help you finding the way to fix, tell me, i'm here. If there is another forum more appropriate on this site to ask my question, can you give me the name ? I don't know where or how to fix this annoying issue

Hey guys!
I have bought my HTC 10 in China, I have changed the language to english, however the phone is for the chinese market and therefore I can't download instagram, google, google play service, instagram etc...
It is a big problem for me, the "playstore" is in chinese and only chinese apps. So do anyone of you know how to change the OS to non-chinese software? I managed to download Facebook and other apps but it requires "google play service" and even with it error messages pops up. The phone denies me from downloading many stuffs that I used to have from my last HTC (swedish andoird version).
Thanks a lot!

You could unlock, S-OFF and follow my guide to convert to a real WWE version (see my sig for link). Both unlock as S-OFF are needed, as the CID and - maybe - MID has to be changed during this process.

You don't have to do that. Just buy an International varient and uninstall/disable facebook or any app you don't want. (Or go further unlocking the bootloader)

HTC 10 Lifestyle Taiwan (Chinese versions) ROM and S-OFF and root
Hello guys,
I have the HTC 10 Lifestyle Chinese version (Snapdragon 652). I managed to unlock the bootloader but I can't get to do the S-OFF. Anyone knows how? I have tried many apps but it won't work. I tried to root but it refused. I tried to flash the ROM as well, so that I install custom ROM but it is not possible. It says it can't flash ROM when S-ON. I have done this successfully with my previous OneM8 but this one is tricky.Please any genius on this come to my rescue. I need to root so that I remove some two bloatware apps and also change to a ROM I like. Thanks in advance!
U have to unlock the bootloader as the first step
Check htcdev.com
Then install the latest twpr recovery that u can find over the web
Recovery is flashed via fastboot
"Fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img"
After flashing recovery you will be free to flash any rom
Enjoy
HTC 10 Lifestyle Taiwan (Chinese versions) ROM and S-OFF and root
I did unlock the bootloader however whenever I try to flash using twrp, I get a message saying it cannot flash when S-ON. So the real challenge now is to S-OFF this phone. Any leads will be appreciated.
Does anyone have any solution to this problem?

You theory is interesting but not true. Facebook cannot be uninstalled because Facebook pays all the phone company to make Facebook installed by default. So you can only disable it. And it does work.
If you are super suspicious about this, you can use adb code or other monitor apps to check if facebook app or related service is running or not after disabling it.

That is false Facebook app permissions have permission to toggle off/on just about everything. You can check your browser cache history and still see that you have Facebook in there even though you have not used Facebook or logged onto Facebook. Your contacts from your emails and contact book will be recommended to you to add on Facebook as various people from your contact list that you have not added will start popping up on your Facebook asking you if you want to add them. You do not know enough about the evil practices of Facebook.
