[DERP] Facebook 1.9.1 doesn't restore contact sync - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

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.

Missing Facebook Contacts Links

Something weird is going on. For some reason, I am unable to link certain friends' contact information with Facebook (Sense). I'd say 95% of my contacts are syncing fine where their information and pictures are updated through their Facebook profiles. However, I noticed that about 5 of them aren't listed on the Facebook link search list: even though they're on my Facebook app friend list.
What could it be? Is there a setting in Facebook that doesn't allow this information to be synced to people's phones?! Only thing I figured it could be.
Thanks in advance...
Nobody can relate?!
Yep. I have one who I cannot link. He has the highest level of privacy on his account vs. the rest of my friends. So I am pretty certain it is a security setting. Not sure which one though.

Gotcha. I guess it makes sense. Alright then. Thanks for the help!
I imported my contacts from a save file on my sd card recently, and noticed some contacts not syncing with facebook.
Later in the day I checked it again and they were synced fine. No idea why it was like this. I stored my contacts through google, and not to my phone.
Weird. The thing is, with my, it's only like 5 contacts out of the hundreds that are syncing fine. It's been months too and they're still not linked. I guess there's a setting on Facebook for that.
i'm having a similar issue, although my phone is an HD2. but there are some facebook contacts that will not be available for me to sync them with my phone contacts. and even i add more friends to my facebook profile, when trying to sync the contact, it only shows 53 facebook contacts. even though more friends were added recently. any ideas?
I have cm6 and downloaded Facebook. I don't have last names but 30% get linked. I just want their pics on contacts. I downloaded I used syncmypix app from appbrain which I'm sure is in the market. Does Facebook sync for pics. Got all of them on there. It will attempt to sync them. After and if it doesn't do all of them go to results. Will show the list of friends and who's picture worked. You can go through and if there is no pic next to the name and is on your phone contacts, click their name.. it will pull the pic from Facebook. Hit the back button to to exit pic and press and hold on their name. Will bring you to your phone contacts. Scroll and click. Bam you synced their pic. It will ask to crop or skip.

Contacts

Hi, i`ve had my Desire a few months now, (first Android device).
I decided to sort out all my contacts via the Contacts manager on the Gmail website, as i had loads of them sort out, my old phone hadnt sorted them very well at all so i had to re-enter every contact.
What I`ve noticed is......IF i add a new contact (or edit an existing contact) via my Desire, it`ll stay on the phone ok UNTILL SYNC has occurred, then it resets all contacts Purely to what is on the Gmail site.
Is that normall?? Surely it should update the website with the new Contact ?
The only real way for me at the moment is to add a new contact via the gmail site, this way i just Sync phone and it appears but i should be able to do it from anywhere
cheers
I think if the contact has the same details, then it'll merge them or something if the contact is still on the Gmail server. Only way to get around it is to delete it off the server and phone then put it back in as a Gmail contact. Or delete it off your phone, make sure it syncs with the server then put it on or edit it. Something along those lines anyway. Sorry if I have gone a bit wobbly with my answer.

i tried add a `new` contact earlier today, as a Gmail contact from phone earlier today, it didnt merge nothing as i was carefull to pick something random, perfomed a Sync, it was removed from phone, not on Gmail site....even as a Gmail-contact....
It shouldn't be doing anything like that at all :S maybe if you remove the Gmail account and re-add it on your phone it might help. Just a weird thing to happen.

agree, should not happen. seems that it is only using a 1-way sync?? I am also using Gmail's contact management with my Desire and it syncs 2-way, tried it with a contact and an additional phone number for instance. Added it on my Desire, sync to Gmail.

G-Mail doesn't push on CM7 RC4

I just updated to CM7 RC4 and everything is working great. I simply thought I didn't get any g-mails recently. I found out they aren't being pushed. Is this a common problem or is this something that I can fix?
May not be a CM thing per se, my gmail hasn't been pushed as frequently either. Verified by using pc browser and sending myself gmail from another account, it was at least a couple minutes before it got to device, was in pc browser in seconds.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I've been using the CM7 nightlies as my "daily driver" for months now. Never had a problem receiving Gmail. Sometimes the phone will let me know there's a new email a few seconds before I see it come into the web interface on my laptop.
The only suggestion I can offer is to make sure that your sync settings are still setup properly. From your home screen: Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync. Make sure Background Data and Auto-Sync are both checked. Then make sure that your Google account shows up below, click on it, and make sure that "Sync Gmail" is checked
Mine can take up to 30 minutes to push mail, used to be a lot faster. I thought there was a setting for how often GMail checked email but I can't find any. So not sure if it ever existed or if Google removed that option. Also not sure if this is only a CM7 thing or happens with Sense based ROMs too.
edit: this only happens on my linked accounts (hotmail, ISP email, work email). mail sent directly to my gmail account comes in almost as soon as its sent. there is no setting in gmail (web based) that i can find that changes the frequency that it checks the other mail accounts, looks like the default is every 30 minutes.

Interval sync settings are generally removed from apps once they achieve true push functionality, since at that point they are moot.
It's odd that we are experiencing such drastically different things. I don't have any idea why mine come in instantaneously while yours take up to 30 minutes. Very strange indeed.

This only recently started happening as all my mail used to be pushed to my phone a a lot faster. The change happened within the last two months so I think Google changed its policies as to how often they querry the other services for mail.
happens from time to time. go into settings, applications, gmail and clear data / cache. this will fix it.
Note : you will have to go into gmail settings after your inbox syncs and set your settings up again (ringtone, vibrate, etc)

No worries, I noticed the same thing when I installed CM7 for the first time the other day. Took me a while to realize why. It also took me a while to figure out how to turn the vibrate back on when I type a message!

Jelly Bean and Exchange Calendar - not working

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Jelly Bean, I can't get the stock calendar app to sync with my exchange account... It did work just fine with ICS 4.0.4 stock calendar, as well as with Touchdown. With JB, I have not been able to get it working with stock calendar... but it does work with Touchdown.
Under settings in the calendar stock app, I see the following entries:
- General settings
- my exchange account
- my gmail account
- About Calendar
When I click on the exchange account, it says " no calendar".
I thought it might have been an issue with the way I restored the account from TB. I restarted from scratch, same problem. Did several factory resets, same. Thought it could have been a bad flash, now I have flashed 4.1.1 and still the exact same problem...
I really don't see anymore what can be causing this. It is my only problem with JB which otherwise is just great...
Any suggestion on where the problem could come from?
Thank you.
Ah, strange. I just thought that I'd acticate "automatic push" mode, and guess what, my calendar items showed up in the stock calendar app...
I have always had my exchange account configured to manual (I want to decide when I see my work email) but this never did have an effect on calendar sync... Very strange.
I leave the topic here in case someone would have the same problem...
Thanks for that, been annoying me all day. Works a treat

Thanks for finding that solution. I tried several things last night and couldn't get it working. I was running ICS on my Rezound without that issue but I'm guessing it was due to Sense. I'm not a fan of automatic push but my exchange calendar is important.
two methods.
one: use exchang mail dirctly with out gmail.
then: use a google account and calender is automatically sync after that

I think that activating push was the way for the calendar to start syncing but then I went back to manual only for what I think is the email setting of Exchange account, and I have calendar syncing fine, while emails are fetched only when I explicitly ask. To me the activation of push was only a trigger, that I was able to undo later on...
That worked for me as well.

You're right had to activate push and there it is :good: thanks i was wondering what it didnt work no more.
setting to push worked for me too - seems really stupid, but it worked.
like others I don't like to have push on. Has anyone turned it off now and have new appointments show up?

Absolutly. This is what I did in the first place : Turn it on first, got the sync to work, then turn it off and voila, it works fine, as you expect.

I've been helping my Dad with his T-Mobile Galaxy SII on AOKP JB Milestone, he's having the same issue right now with his Exchange Calendar not showing all appointments. Push has always been enabled. However it only shows random items from his Calendar, not all the items. I've wiped the device, reflashed, set up the Exchange account before the Google account, nothing seems to fix it. Only a few items from the Exchange Calendar show up.....
I've been searching on this issue it feels like forever now and your post is the closest I've found to the issue lol
Thanks for this! I was frustrated because the Google Calendar sync doesn't sync everything for some reason, but then I couldn't get the exchange calendar to sync. I switched to push, set up to display the calendar, and switched back to manual sync.
We'll see how it goes.
So I can also confirm the calendar continues to sync after setting sync back to manual.
I got a new calendar entry that synced and also edited another and those changes are also on my phone.
I still have problems to sync my exchange agenda with HTC desire HD, try all the suggestion meantion here.
Somebody a other suggestion.
I have no issues with ICS
Thanks

This bug was opened but closed as Unreproducable even though it is!
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23173
Please go star this item and comment about how you can't get it to reproduce
1) add exchange account, but set sync to "manual"
2) go to Mail and download all your mail ("sync")
3) Go to Calendar and see that you can't add your Exhchange calendar as a possible calendar
4) go back and set your Exchange settings to "push"
5) go back to calendar and see your Exhange calendar has appeared

Contacts Disappear or Not Showing up

Hi there
The thing is whenever I add a new phone number to my contacts list they don't show up there. When saving the contacts I choose to save them to my Google account. So if my phone dies or is stolen I can recover all my contacts. The thing is they're not appearing on my contact list. Even tough I've selected in contacts to show: All contacts.
The only way to find them (since universal search was removed) is to use the dial to type the name (most of the time without luck) or go to the call log (if I called that number before).
I've come to think the contact IS on the phone, Cuz it appears in the log with the name I've given it.
I have account sync on, I've turned the phone off and on.
I've been experiencing this problem on different phones (HTC Inspire 4G and now on a GS3).
If anyone can help, thanks!

Adding this in case any one else is seeing the same issue:
Did you check if any of your sync accounts are failing to sync? In my case it was facebook sync so i removed FB from the list of accounts to sync with and the other contacts were restored. Mine is Galaxy S2 running ICS so YMMV.
Looks like a bug in Android is preventing it from showing contacts even if one of many sync accounts fail.

I had the same problem on my HTC One X. After some time I figured it out. Sign out of your Google mail account and resign in again. After a 'sync'
all my contacts magically appeared. I hope this helps.

This has been happening to me for a while now, and it was driving me insane!! I also save all my contacts to gmail account, yet all of them never show up, even with display all contacts. Sometimes, even doing a search in contacts would not find them, even though they were there!! Just now figured it out, and I am happy, happy, happy!! No need to sign out and sign back in. Just go into your contacts, hit the menu button to bring up settings, hit contacts to display, check 'customized list", now there should be a setting button beside that, hit that, go down to your gmail account and pick it, now u will see like 6 boxes, such as my contacts, starred in android, etc, all the way at the bottom check "all other contacts", save it and you're in business!! Hope this helps...

Unfortunately I don't have a 'contacts to display' or 'customise list' on my HTC One X, just 'Only with phone number' option but never mind
whatever works.
If there's a will, there's a way!
My suggestion : Go into CONTACTS. Hit the RIGHT OPTION (CONTACTS) Then the MENU button. Then ACCOUNTS. Tap on your GOOGLE account. In there you will have the SYNC options.
I just went through this because all of my contacts are not syncing. I have 95% of them for whatever reason.......

Try deleting your google account completely from your phone and re-adding it after a reboot.
This is driving me crazy too...
So,I've installed kitkat 4.4.2 on Friday and everything was really ok. Today I realized when someone is calling me on Viber,there are no contacts,the same is with WhatsApp.
And when I want to use my phone contacts,they are all gone. Then I need to copy the contacts from the sd card(cause there is no option to show contacts from sim card) and they showed up,when I click on Viber again,the contacts are gone again.
Anyone can help me with that???
