I have a rooted gs3 that will sync contacts as long as I don't add any new ones to my phone. As soon as I add a contact I get a sync error. I've tried several different roms and all have the same problem. The only way to get the sync error to go away is to reinstall the rom, but again sync will only work until I add a contact.
My wife also has a gs3. Hers is not rooted and she has the same problem. To clear the problem I'd have to do a factory reset.
Anyone else having this issue and know how to correct it????
Thank you!!!

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?

I just downloaded the friendcaster app and that seemed to work great. Thanks.
If anyone knows of another way to sync contacts please post.

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?

So my dad has the EVO 4g I'm pretty good with tech stuff but this I just can't figure out, his phone was acting werid so I did the first trouble shooting you do with anything power off power on however when we powered it on all the contacts were gone, when you look at view theres 900 contacts but with no phone number any ideas

Does he have a google account setup?? Because if he did is only a matter of signing to your Gmail and they all should be stored there.
Yes he does I thought the same thing I was like its fin Google backs it up but nope not there either
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
This may sound funny but could it be possible that he has more than one and you're not using the right Gmail account? Well in any case you can go into that Gmail account that he used from a computer and check if those contacts are there; now if the're not then I think is fair to say they're gone almost for sure... Now if they are there then we can figure out a way to get those back in there.

Is he on a stock rom or have you installed something non-stock for him? Also, as stated above, log in to contacts.google.com and see whats there. If they are there then go into accounts/sync, disable google contacts sync then reboot, connect to good wifi connection, and re-enable contacts sync.
If they aren't showing up in contacts.google.com theeeeeen I might try another reboot. Or maybe fix permissions if you are rooted and your recovery supports it.

I apologize if this is a known issue, but i wasn't able to dredge anything up. Seems that I'm unable to create new contacts in my list. It works otherwise, i.e. I can call and/or text using the touchwiz shortcuts, but a no go for adding new numbers. It just freezes and then force closes.
Running 4.04 FH13, stock and unrooted. Next step is to delete them all and try to start over. Thoughts?

I dont think deleting all the contacts will help. Try removing your google account and then resyncing it. You could also try clearing Contact Storage data before resyncing to see if it helps.

Hey devs,
Currently running Aristodemos 3.0 with wifi sharing fix, and the final zip that was done.
Currently the stock email application is giving me some trouble. I'm still able to receive messages and open the application to view messages but I am unable to reply and compose messages.
I was able to get a log cat but haven't been able to find out what's causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated. If anyone needs the logcat I can send it to them by pm. Thanks everyone for your hard work

Just an update,
Trying out divide and so far no problems. Will keep an eye on it and let you guys know if it's a viable option until a fix is available.

Getting the same message, thought it was just me. I have tried several roms out in the last week, found this one to be the best. Great job smartguy044 and Team Insomnia!

Agreed, it is unfortunate that there is something wrong with email. I'm not sure what could be causing the problem? I used divide which is a launcher switcher and the email apk that comes with it is working fine. I'm going to try different launchers to see if I can narrow down the problem to just being the lancher

Didn't think about launcher being an issue, will try the same.
So after some more searching it turns out it may be a problem with both the email apk and the exchange services apk (?). If you look in the ADIII thread someone just uninstalled those two apks and then installed them again and it started working again. Let me knows if you have any questions.

Thanks, I did see that and tried it with no luck. Perhaps I didn't do it right so I will look further into it.
When I go to the play store the apps I purchased say I didn't buy them. Gmail won't sync. Samsung account won't sync. My contacts won't sync and mostly every thing else like this. Execpt my yahoo mail with the stock email app does sync. I have sync on. I have even tried manually doing it. Everything looks normal. I have tried several different roms clean install every time and this is without adding, changing anything. I have no trouble signing into any account. Its just that nothing is there.
Now here is the really weird part. I made a backup of my rom before I started flashing and when I restore my backup EVERYthing is find play store recognizes I purchased my apps everything syncs. I have never seen this before and I have now spend all my time for the last three days looking for an answer and I found some things to try but none of them worked. I tried clearing app data, uninstalling updates, reinstalling them, and some other things I'm forgetting right now. The only thing I can think of at this point is to unroot and go back to stock. I'm hoping that you guys will have some advice for me. Thanks

Long story short I never figured this out just went back to stock and everything is good now. Weird.
