I didn't see this anywhere else, and I'm probably going crazy. I went to MMS a picture to my wife today, and the messaging app said that "The linked app is no longer available on this device" or something similar. I found it odd, kind of infuriating, but figured a restart of the device should fix it.
Gmail came up missing on restart! Now, I looked into the "All Apps" area and sure enough, both apps were listed. I cleared the cache on both Sense and each of the missing apps, and did a full reboot. They were still missing. So now I'm doing a full data wipe. I'm wondering if this would explain the missing Clock apps as well.
Anyone else having this issue?
I've had this happen as well. Maps, Facebook and Twitter all vanished at one point. Mine seems to be losing login information for my 3 gmail accounts, facebook and twitter as well.

It's very odd. I reflashed mine, and now my google account won't sync. Something is up.
I have this question, in ICS when i install the facebook app, its ask me to sync my contacts in with facebook (the existing, i mean the contacts in my phone to update with fb photo, info, etc) but in jellybean i cant, i see the account there, i turned on the sync option, but it doesnt do anything.
Someone know what to do?
The functionality has been deliberately disabled by Facebook. There was something of a controversy about it back when it happened. So, yeah. Not happening anymore.
So,do you know any good app that do that work very good? like ICS without any problem
Contact sync for facebook in the play store. Try that out.

I use Friendcaster and it syncs the contacts pretty well. I started using it when Facebook upgraded to 2.0 and kept having network errors. The contact sync was just a plus.
Hey Guys,
My Facebook app was working great but out of no where it stop working properly. I am having trouble in syncing of Facebook Contacts to "People". I uninstalled & installed this app but all in vain. Problem is still there, app itself is working great, notifications & messages keep coming, but in Settings>Accounts>Facebook nothing shows up in there (No checkbox), no settings about contacts, no nothing about sync.
Help me guys. Thanks.
It's either a bug in the last update from November 15th or it was removed purposely. I no longer have it either.
To start I would like to say search within this forum was down for me, so sorry if this has been answered already.
After the update to 3.11.605.1 I lost my facebook contacts and the HTC Sense Facebook app is not syncing them. I don't get any errors, my contacts for facebook just sit at 0. I am S-Off TWRP stock rooted.
I do use Appops and previously disallowed the Facebook app to touch my location and contact info, but didn't inhibit the HTC sense facebook app. Since then I turned on those capabilities, uninstalled and reinstalled the facebook app, and removed the facebook account from sense and added it back on.
Blink feed updates the news feed just fine, and the calendar syncs birthday and events just fine, but no contacts.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Never mind this eventually did sync on it's own. Or maybe something I did above fixed the issue....

Yea, that was off by default, but I turned it on. My contacts still didn't sync until that night/next day.
But it's all good now. thanks for the reply.
Hello everyone,
My device is G4, LG-H815 variant and it's updated to Android 5.1, not rooted. My problem: there seems to be no way to import Facebook contacts to contacts list.
I have migrated all my settings and apps from my G3 using LG Backup successfully. The Facebook and Messenger apps work fine, show all my contacts, and are configured to sync contacts. I have also gone into Contacts settings and made sure Facebook sync is enabled. But no matter how long I wait (1 day), only my Gmail contacts show. There also seems to be no syncing option for Messenger.
Things I've tried to no avail:
- rebooting
- reinstalling Facebook and Messenger app and configuring them from a scratch
- restarting Contacts app
- unsyncing and syncing again
- removing my Facebook account and adding it again

I always turned Facebook sync off, I never use it [emoji14], but I'll try to give you some suggestions.
1. have you tried setting Contact to display in contact app settings to All contacts?
2. is the contact sync in the Facebook app settings turned on for all contact?
that's as far as I know in android syncing. if it doesn't work, maybe the other could help you. sorry!

Naturally.
Same issue
Thank god I'm not the only one with this issue!! I thought I was going mad. I just got this phone & not used to LG phones.
Okay, so I haven't done as much as you, I have uninstalled/reinstalled fb and msngr though & still nothing. When I select to see only fb or msngr contacts it shows none, only myself.
I'm slowly losing hope to see a resolution as this is the first post I've seen with this issue!
I will keep checking this thread Thanks for posting

I feel just the same. I can confirm than syncing worked just fine on my LG G3. With G4, it looks just like the Contacts app doesn't see my Facebook account for some reason, regardless of the settings.
Same thing is happening to me... Any of you with this problem have a second phone? I have an s6 with no sync problems for work in addition to my g4. My only possible thought is some how that is affecting my lg...? Hopefully someone figures this out ASAP
Been talking to UK LG Mobile Support today, their advice is to enable syncing from Facebook app's settings. When told that this didn't work for me, they said they're not aware of anybody having this issue. So, has anybody solved this yet?
Alright, here's the reason behind the problem:
Apparently Facebook no longer supports syncing for Android devices. Just like that. As confirmed by Facebook itself under a link I can't post.

Hey there,
Poked around a bit more...not sure that is true. Seems like a lot of internet BS generated from frustrated people with the same problem we are having. There are no concrete facts from Facebook or Google that currently support that theory.
On another note, this problem started happening on my G4 about two weeks ago, at which time it was synced to my facebook contacts prior...so, it may be possible a software update was pushed and this functionality was not carried over?
My current workaround (i'm not giving up on this, don't worry)...buy/borrow an older android device from a friend or off CL, sync your facebook, manually program the names of the contacts you need from facebook sync on that phone to your G4...I already tried exporting the CSV from my work phone to my G4 with no luck of carrying over my facebook contacts.

Facebook changed the api download most of the photo sync apps from the appstore they do nothing now

I spent three awesome hours last night pretending like it was 2002 and manually copying numbers from my work phone to my new phone since it is still sync'd with facebook...at least now they are permanently in my google account
Had the same issue. I uninstalled the FB updates to factory. Re-syncedb and set Facebook to manual updates.
Hi!
I know this post is relatively old, but I recently purchased the LG G4 Vigor. While at the Kiosk of my service provider, they transferred all my contacts for me. Bad idea!!! I spent the last two days trying to figure out why my Facebook contacts would not transfer. Furthermore, all the addresses were not transferred at all. So, I worked hard to find the problem. I simply had to Reset Factory data! . For some reason, when they transferred my contacts, it was interrupting the Facebook contacts from transferring. Before doing so, make sure you save all info on your SD card. I took out my SD card, for good safety measure. After the Reset, do not install the SD card right away. Open Facebook and go through login etc., then in your phone contacts settings, accounts & sync, add Facebook, then go to "contacts to display", click all contacts. Check your contacts folder to be sure. Do this before transferring your data from your SD card. Unfortunately, you will have to go through and delete those contacts, from FB, you don't want. At least they are all there, with picture and info! Hope this helps!!!
