Haxsync in the app store will do it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Any other suggestions? I will try it out tonight.

You could try adding the fb account under settings. Or delete the account from your phone and add it again.

[Q] gmail not syncing

My gmail randomly stopped syncing. I am using virtuous .72 with pershoot kernel. I have tried clearing the cache and reflashing kernel but still no luck.
Any help, please?
You dont have any power saver programs running do ya? Also check to see that you have the gmail service running.

no power saver programs. what do you mean the gmail service?
In settings>account my gmail is listed and is supposed to sync mail. I am getting mail from my exchange account but I can't reply to it or or send any emails.

I was recently having that same problem. I just uninstalled Gmail with root explorer from the system/apps and then reinstalled from the market.

Glad you got it working. I should have double checked before i posted that. I thought there was a gmail service that pushed email to your phone. I cant find one so.... nevermind.

Contact picture sync

So i'm wondering if anyone is also having issues with syncing Facebook pics to your contacts? I've clicked sync in the Facebook app and also in my contacts on the phone and the pictures don't sync. Maybe i'm doing something wrong?

well for the FB app.. the uh original one... you can always click "don't sync" let it erase everything then click sync again. Or Don't sync... remove FB app then dl fb app and sync.. just have toy around with it. Remember you need to let it fully sync before resetting or doing anything that will make you lose data connection. that just messes everything all up again lol.
Just realized... I should delete my FB account if I'm at a point where I help others on fb troubleshooting..
Mine will sync a handful of pictures (always for the same contacts, oddly enough) but never more than 5 or 6. Even though their Facebook page is displayed in their contact info, it won't bring their pictures over. Could this be a privacy setting on their end perhaps? I can't think why else it would sync the same people every time on three different ROMS and kernels and ignore everyone else.

Google contacts
I am also having a issue with my "Google" contacts syncing pictures. I was on a stock rooted ROM with the issue, I now have the Juggernaut ROM and still, no contact pictures. I am not really interested in "Facebook" pictures, just Google contacts. If anyone has a clue on how to remedy this issue or can point me in the right direction I would be grateful. Thanks in advance XDA members.
UPDATE: I figured this out, it seems I am not the only one who came across this problem, so this is how I solved it, If you make changes to your contacts that you want to undo, you can restore your full contacts list to an earlier saved version. This allows you to undo changes like:
Recovering contacts that have been accidentally deleted
Restoring contacts after an unsuccessful sync
Undoing a recent import
Undoing a recent merge
To restore your contacts to a previous version, just follow these steps:
1Click Contacts.
2From the More actions drop-down menu, choose Restore contacts.
3Choose the time you'd like to revert your contacts list to (e.g. 10 minutes ago, one hour ago, one week ago, etc). We suggest that you also make a note of the time that you restore your contacts, in case you'd like to return to where you started.
4Click Restore. You'll see a confirmation at the top of the screen when the rollback is complete.
Hope this helps people restore their missing contact pictures and data!
If you guys wanna get the all pics for the synced contacts you should open the Facebook app and get to your friends list by using the draw on the left side. Friends is under the apps subsection. Once you are there scroll al the way down to the end of the list and wait for the pictures to load. Once you get photos for all friends loaded just reboot the phone. It should do.

and I'm assuming when you say to manually sync all contacts you mean to sync the contacts under your google account under settings>accounts?

Contacts question

So I send a lot of emails on Craig's List using my Gmail account. For some reason every email address I send an email to get captured by Gmail, and somehow ends up in my contacts list, and gets downloaded on my phone every time I sync after installing a new ROM.
Any Gmail experts know how to prevent this from happening?

I'm def no expert on that but seems like its more likely a setting in your gmail than your phone. Log in with your computer and look through the settings on there.

Birthdays for people who are in your phone book?
You add the birthday under their contact and Google updates the calendar.

Under calendar>settings there is a setting for what calendar to show. One of then is contacts birthday. You can add as many calendars to show as you have.

I have the same issue with my contacts' birthdays on CM 10.1.3. Just switched to this version from stock and the birthdays are not available anymore regardless of the fact that the Google calendars settings and the phone calendars ones are as they should.
I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!
