New guy here.
First off, many thanks to all the dev's and forum members for all the hard work they put in to unleash our phones!
Several months ago I flashed CM7 and every time I rebooted my contacts would disappear. However, on my wife's EVO, which was set up the same as mine, she has never had that problem.
I just flashed CM7.1.0 build GWK74
Android 2.3.7
Radio 12.15.00.08.08
Stock CM Kernel
I am still having the issue. I send all of my contacts to the phone from Touchdown(Exchange) and then export them for safe keeping. Even if I import them again they disappear.
I have yet to flash CM7.1 on my wife's EVO as I would like to solve this issue first.
In an attempt to fix, I ran the fix permissions and I am still having the issue after reboot.
I sure would appreciate some help.
You're signed into your google account? I'd trying syncing the contacts to google.

That was it!
That, and I didn't have touchdown added as an account to sync to.
Thanks!

Wait, that was almost it.
After reboot, the touchdown account disappeared.
Like I said, hers is working fine. Still looking.....
BOO!

When I originally did the CM7 I did a full wipe.
With the upgrade to CM7.1 I did not.
I have been having the issue since CM 7.0

Ok, so here's the issue.
It won't let me set up and account under contacts for touchdown.
It shows touchdown as an option, but you can't select it.
If I add an account using the built in mail client for exchange, it will sync and all contacts will remain on reboot.
It's a workaround, but it's not right.
I'm not sure if this would be a CM issue or a Touchdown issue.

I think it may be a touchdown issue. You can try it on another rom to verify.

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.

yup same here. my profile is there fully.
I know the password and and email is right because i use the same to login on a pc or the mobile broswer, but it just won't let me login or the facebook app from the market. any suggestions?
Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling? Is your version of Facebook outdated?
Well the only way i can remove facebook for htc sense is by forcing an uninstall using super manager. I been flashing a few ROMs recently and noticed it wouldn't work. I have no idea when it stopped working. I just found a ROM I liked and decided to start linking my accounts.
Oh, I was under the impression you were using the market Facebook. Try downloading it from the market. I never link my Facebook to HTC Sense, I skip it, and I download the one from the market.
yea not working either...

I recommend Synergy or Shooter(Joel's or wildstang's). They are solid roms.
I think it's a FB issue. It always worked for me but now won't work on any ROMs.

Check your Facebook Account>Security>Login Approvals setting from your PC. If it is set to Required, every time you flash a new ROM and reinstall a Facebook app, FB sees a new, unauthorized device and sends an SMS to the device with a numeric code for you to enter instead of your password.

Ive looked at this setting as it was suggested to me over in the thunderbolt-synergy thread, and it was disabled. Ive had this same problem for a couple days now after installing a new rom. Even going to a backup, it keeps telling me to re-enter my password when I try to sync my facebook account, and then tells me I entered a wrong user name or password. I do think it is a problem on facebooks end, but the weird thing is my girlfriend is having no problems with signing in to facebook for htc sense or the market facebook app.
I'll try the facebook account settings, but every ROM I flash it doesn't make a difference.

The facebook account settings didnt make a difference to me. Still wont let me sign in.
So I found a method that worked for me to fix HTC sense. I created a new email account with gmail and made it my new primary email with facebook. That's under account settings. Once I made it the new primary, i tried htc sense and it worked. Logged me right in. Let me know if this works I can give more detailed instructions per request.

Thank you. I was able to sign in after switching to my hotmail address as primary email. I wonder why we can't use our original email address. I was also able to sign into the market Facebook app.

It only seemed to be the Facebook for Htc sense and the market facebook app that wouldn't accept the old email. Seesmic had no problem signing in with my old email.
maybe you guys can help me with this problem. I recently had to hard reset my phone, but after re installing the app Facebook for HTC Sense it no longer tells me via notification bar which of my contacts has updated there facebook status. it used to show the people Icon with a syncing/refresh ring and tell me which of my contacts updated their status and pressing this would take me to my people app. is there anywhere on my phone where i can enable this? im on a Droid Inc
I searched in this forum already, but couldn't find this.
I'm having issues with sending emails with the gmail application. They just sit in the Outbox with a sending status. I've checked the sync settings, refreshed both from the sync section, as well as in the app. I even tried just text, as well as using attachments. And, no, they're not being received either.
I'm currently running the leaked OTA and the new radio.

Uninstalling fixed the issue. I don't know why I didn't think of that. I had done the same thing earlier, so restoring it from Titanium Backup may have been the issue...

That makes sense. I use titanium as well but don't backup up any of the google apps cuz they come preinstalled in roms. Pleasure to help ya bud.
My fiancee's Dinc quit syncing overnight. I've had her running Optimized Shift for almost a week now with no issues. Then this morning she work up and her gmail wasn't syncing? I thought it was a rom issue, but I will try reinstalling gmail and see if that helps.
Also, her phone doesn't seem to save text messages as drafts on this rom, as it did with the stock rom. Was this left out of this rom or am I missing where they are stored?
Let us know how uninstall/reinstall works.
I haven't used stock messaging app in months but I believe drafts are saved under Menu>Drafts in all versions from Sense 1.0-3.0. I'm on a Sense 3.0 rom with 3.0 messaging app but I think it's the same in your rom. I know mine used to have trouble saving drafts with no Sender but I know it worked fine if I had a contact in the Send box prior to saving the draft.

Are you saying Menu > Drafts, from within the stock messaging app? If so, that's where I thought it should be...but it's not, for some reason. These are drafts already addressed to a sender, in an ongoing thread. I know with the stock rom, she could do Menu > Drafts, no problem, but the options appears to be gone now. I believe optimized shift is Sense 3.0, but still, I can't imagine they would take that option out.
Hey Guys,
I'm quite sure these questions have been asked before but I can't find it
1. My Browser doesn't want to sync. Anyone else experiencing this problem?
2. How can I transfer files to any specific location? (sms backup file for example) - SOLVED!
Thanks a lot!
Does no one have this problem?
Browser sync gives me an error too.

Good I'm not alone. Are you using the Chrome dev version?
i have a problem with browser sync as well, and i'm using Chrome Stable.

It doesn't work on the nexus s AOSP roms floating around either. I think it's broken, or not turned on yet.
Its not broken, i have it working on mine.
To get it to work. Clear the browser data on the device and uncheck sync browser. Then go onto google dashboard and there is an option to "Stop sync and delete data from Google" This will take a few minutes to complete.
When it has done, recheck sync browser on the nexus, and it should sync. This worked for me.
What worked for me is, to delete everything from the Google Dashboard and re synchronize everything.
I have Browser sync issues on my GT8.9 and GT10.1 tabs also, so this seems to be a general problem, not related to Galaxy Nexus.
Is there a way to sync the phone and chrome via BT/Wifi/USB or just anyway that I don't have to sync with the "cloud" first?
With a 3rd party app, yes. With the stock Cal, no.
I'm sorry.

Yeah, but you didn't answer his question.
If we delete the sync data from google dashboard, do we loose all our bookmarks and passwords from our desktop PC's since they are all synced?
delete the data. then sync it back again via chrome. done.
might gonna do that for my 3 chrome installations

no, all it does is remove your sync data off of Google servers, once its deleted and you activate sync on your phone you activate sync on your PC browser and all the data gets re-populated.
I have tried clearing data and keeping things from syncing but still no go. Has any one had any success flashing AOSP contacts.apk or been able to get contacts working again?
I know this has been covered and I think this would be a good thread for others to see.
If you open the contacts before adding your google account for the first time and syncing the bug never appears.
I tried this on FC22 and it seemed fine until I synced exchange. Now it is blank again.... not setting this up again. Wish they would fix this in leaks. I don't see what they are changing in recent builds but this is a bug that seems important.

I haven't seen this issue yet across stock ICS, CM9, or Calk's ICS ROMs. Do you have any additional details you could provide, like number of accounts, types of accounts syncing, etc?
I sync my exchange from work, IMAP from school and facebook. Facebook apparently broke it again. I will just wait for FC14 and not sync anything but exchange until I see a solid fix for this bug.
