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.

If you have rooted your phone, install Root Explorer and edit build.prop in /system. Change ro.build.manufacture from Nokia to Baidu and original whatsapp will work fine.

First thanks for ur reply
I already seen this solution but i dont really want to root my XL this is why im searching an other solution.
First, remove clean master app, if you use it.
Download 2.11.205 version of Whatsapp and install it but do not open.
Then change date to: May 26 2014
Now create whatsapp widget (This is the only way u can access whatsapp)
Open whatsapp from widget and verify. Then chat with some friends.
After al these steps, now u can remove original whatapp and install whatsapp+'s last version.
When u do all these steps, whatsapp+ will not ask u for verifyng.

Thanks for all ur reply i found myself the solution but before did it i restored my XL :
First i clompletly removed all Whatsapp Data from my mobile ( delete Whatsapp folder )
Then i changed my date into Date Settings to 9 June 2014.
Then i download an old WhatsApp Version who was the WhatsApp Messenger v2.11.238.apk ( search it on google soory i cant put the link here i had a restriction for new members ><)
Then i instaled this Whatsapp, after the instalation i launched it then i done the SMS confirmation after the Sms confirmation my XL says me that "Whatsapp is not supported".
So i only uninstaled WhatsApp but i didnt touch to the Whatsapp folder ( it should not be removed ! ). I change my Date to today's real date.
Then i download the latest version of WhatsApp Plus (it was 6.10 when i did it but i think u can try the latest)
I instaled it and all was done
Im still using WhatsApp plus with no problems, thanks again for all the replies i post my solution if other people search it, im soory for my bad english i'm just a french college student
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
Jo
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
thx

Same problem here
Bought yesterday and want to flash custom ROM but got stuck at this,not received mail from Zuk
Searched a lot didn't find any solution.
Any one please help with this
Struggling with the exact same issue. I especially bought this to have the flexibility of custom roms and the power of SD820. But now I am helplessly stuck with ZUI and Marshmallow. The whole point of buying this went in vein. If there's any update, the site is working or any workaround, please keep posting here.
That zuk reply dont work with " Gmail or Google ". Use some other mail service and find the file .
Unlock Bootloader Z2 Plus
I faced the same problem.
Send an email to [email protected] and mention your device model name e.g. Z2 Plus and Serial number.
You should receive an email with an attachment as unlock_bootloader.img.
Hope it helps.
Heyyy guys, just a quick update, the site works today. I got the unlocker img in one try. Good luck today.
Yes guys try now.i just got mail from zuk.

I got the same problem again.
gmail, web.de and my custom mail server e-mail don't work.
Any clues what to do?
€dit:
the 4th try worked with a google mail address (for the unlock page) AND active chinese VPN. I don't know which one was neccessary in particular. I THINK the google mail account did it since they have a troubleshooting page, which states that some (western) mail services may get blocked by their outgoing mail servers. But I didn't have to create a new lenovo account. The old one with a different mail worked.
Hey Guys I've been trying for some days now and I'm not able to get the unlock image. I've also tried to send email to [email protected] the mails don't get delivered. Does anyone have an idea as to what is happening?? And what should I do?
I've tried with emails other than Gmail.
