The new update seems pretty good, except facebook......
I can not figure out how to just use the facebook app without automatically syncing all my contacts/pictures etc.
I can remove the accounts (yes automatic 2 accounts in the sync menu) but then there is no facebook at all.
when I just use the normal facebook app, the other account pops up again..
then it asks for my permission, witch I don't want to give (that option is there).
So when I give permission that I don't want to sync my contacts an pics.
I get the message every time again that there is something wrong with the syncing with facebook..
I need ROOT fast, so I can delete this stupid facebook ****

You should be able to turn it of in contact settings. There you can choose wish phonebooks to use. Same in calender.
I can't find any settings, too. Neither in the "SE settings", nor in the apps using the FB integration.
Settings / account and uncheck "contact" sync in Facebook

I can only uncheck the whole sync, not separate ones. :/
Edit: Found it. I had "auto sync" turned off, so there weren't any checkboxes to deselect specific syncs, of course. ^^
Thanks, i will prove
Facebook privacy
The new integration in 2.3.3. update looks very good on paper but:
When I want to enable sync it gives me a webpage that wants access to just about anything from me and my friends on facebook. The list goes on and on. from access to my friends list to being able to send me emails and post messages on my wall and access to all my photo's
Why do they need access to all this privacy related stuff.
I choose to NOT give permission and therefore I can not use the facebook integration, too bad but it keeps asking me to give permission every time even when I have switched off the sync on the facebook account.
are more people having this issue?
Yeah... I know what you mean... I did grumpily just give it the access.
Photos -> Gallery
Post on Wall -> Like-Button
Friends List -> update Contacts
Email -> ???
Shame that you can't deselect them seperately.
Google Calendar will not sync,first noticed the problem with shared calendars not showing,deleted data and cache and now no calendar will show up on the widget,first time problems with this,any ideas?
Now will only show facebook calendar
No one ? Factory reset it is then.
open the calendar, hit Menu > more > calendars and make sure that the boxes for 'sync' and 'view' (the little eye icon) are both checked on the calendars you wanna see.

Thanks for the response but Im using Unity and I think the Calendar app is different as I cannot navigate your suggestion,done a factory reset and have got my calendar back but no joy with shared g calendars,still dont know why stopped working,going to try resharing and see if that fixes it.
How do I turn email sync off where when I open the email app I can check for it manually? I tried to do it like I have on previous phones which were by HTC. The only option is saw turns it off completely and I can't refresh to check for new emails unless it's on but then it's automatically gonna check for it which is what I don't want

Go to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Google > Uncheck Gmail
Then you can check it manually.
Somehow my email (POP3) accounts have been changed from sync to disabled in settings. If I go to settings, accounts, email, all email accounts show sync disabled. If I click on the sync icon my only choice is to manually sync the account.
If I go to email, settings, for each account, sync email is checked and there is an appropriate sync schedule selected.
I find the email is not being checked per schedule, it is acting disabled as it shows in settings and only checks if I manually checked it. It was working properly at some time in the last week or so.
Obviously I must have changed something to cause this, but I can't figure out how to fix it.
Any ideas?

When in the email app, settings, per account, above the just 'sync email' button, under ''days to sync,' is it set to automatic? Also the inbox check frequency, make sure its not set on 'never'.

I do not see those settings. I go to email, settings, account, 1st section is common settings, then data usage, then sync settings. In sync settings only thing is sync schedule. I that are the settings for peak, off peak, etc. Am I looking in the wrong place because I can't find what you're referring to.
Note: this is a non-rooted phone running stock JB received OTA.
I've had problems with stock JB phones and enabling Exchange sync (yeah, it's not POP3, but I wonder if it's the same issue?)
Try this: Settings > Data usage > (Hit the Menu button / Action bar [the vertical ... thing]) > make sure "Restrict background data" is UNCHECKED and Auto sync data is CHECKED.

Restrict background data is unchecked, but auto sync data is not. I am checking it now. Hopefully that will do the trick. I'll report back.

Thank you so much -- that did it! I couldn't find the setting I needed.
Glad to hear it!
From my experience, these settings are set by certain carriers or phone mfgs on JB ROMs (I've seen it mostly on Verizon devices though), since you said you did an OTA, that's probably what changed it. Apparently they want to prevent people from using data or something

It wasn't the OTA that broke it. I did the OTA immediately before setting anything up and the email sync was definitely working then. Something since then (maybe something I installed?) caused.
Oh well, at least its fixed now and I now know where to look for the setting.
thank you so much, this worked for me,,,, after fixing these settings, I was able to go back to the email client, and fix those settings and everything worked,,, God bless you
This has started happening to me this weekend and I've no idea why... I've had to turn on email syncing 3 times.

The option is in Data Usage..... Thanks for the right answer!
(I'm still learning the recent Jelly-Bean upgrade. Some things are easier to find, but then some things that Were easy to find are Now buried in three layers of onion.)

I had this same issue after I upgraded my note 3 to kitkat and this fixed it,THANKS!
I have 3 gmails setup on my phone but for some reason i can only see the the calendar for one email account only. I have checked the settings calendar sync is active but for some reason other 2 accounts are not showing up.
Let me know if you someone have any advice to solve this issue
Did you check those two additional account settings in the main device settings? (Menu > System Settings > General Tab > Accounts > Google) then click on each Google account and make sure the Calendar box is checked in the Sync settings
If you have already done that and it's still a problem, let me know and we'll troubleshoot some more.
I just realized I was assuming you had checked the sync settings in whatever calendar app you're using, but either way check both system settings and your calendar app settings
