Im having an issue with Facebook sense. I noticed after restarting my phone for the first time that the Facebook friend stream was no longer updating even though it was set to update every hour and it was enabled, Looking in the setting menu confirmed this as the last updated time was not changing unless i forced a resync. Removing and re-adding the account worked for a while until I restarted the phone but as soon as I did the same issue manifested, it just wont automatically update. All other automatic updates seem to work.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so have you managed to find a resolution?
Cheers!
if you have the little power bar widget, with Bluetooth WiFi etc on, have you turned on the reloading sign?

Already checked that, every other app updates correctly just not facebook
log out then back in...it fixed my friends list not updating with new friends, probably will sort out th e friendstream (providing you've not already fixed it)
make sure its the facebook for htc rather than facebook for android tho !
How are you logging out of it?

I don't have my phone with me at the moment, but while logged into Facebook, is there no option to log out via the browser or when you press the Menu button?
I had that problem, fixed by going into settings and re-selecting the update frequency, seems to need repeating at each boot.
Does anyone know how to update contact pictures? My friends have updated their facebook prof pics but it isnt getting update to my phone.
i had to delete my facebook account then re-add it
Facebook integration seems a bit iffy on mine too. New friend facebook contacts do not show up on Contacts tab (to be linked). It seems the thing does not update without remove-re add.

Yeah I had to remove the account and re-add but then it only synced 30 contacts at first and then I had to keep resyncing 3 times to get all contacts synced.
Same here.....had to re-add my account
The first time it cut off at around 40. I rebooted the Desire, now I have the first 40 twice.

Solution
Had the same issue, just updated facebook and all better now...
not to beat a dead horse on this one, but I am having something along these issues with my FriendStream widget. The Facbook isn't updateing hourly like it should, I have tried the following to correct the problem:
Removed/Re-Added my account
Cleared all Cache Data
Cleared all Data
Reset the phone (factory Reset)
Updated Facebook
Really ata loss for what I should do from here, any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.
I noticed this with dk28 where my snsservice would keep saying restarting after about an hour when my phone is booted and doesn't have a running time. I don't know if this is causing some issues because the phone then say that I can't edit my contacts.

I gather you are referring to Facebook SNS? This started after Facebook made changes to their application and introduced their own sync process. Those changes did something that conflicts with Google's integration with Facebook.
Google and Facebook are going at it over the sync process within Android.

There is another thread a few pages back in this sub forum that discusses possible work arounds. Nothing confirmed to resolve the constant prompts as of yet.
I'm having this issue too, I don't use Facebook and I can't find anything on any of the forums about this issue. No problems other than SNSSERVICE RESTARTING... continuously in running services. I push to stop it and it goes away, but I haven't noticed any other problems, even after I close it. I do notice that my battery lasts longer when I kill it. What EXACTLY does SNSService do? I've heard several different comments that it is for Facebook, its for Security (? if so, what security?), etc... and what would be causing it to go into restart. I do toggle off 3G from Power Control Plus (and GPS and Auto Sync) when I'm at work or other times when I have 1 or 2 signal bars (to save battery), but when I've had this happen, I try reconnecting all those, and it does not save the snsservice from going into a restart loop.

I have the EXACT same problem, on EB13 Syndicate ROM.
One thing I know for sure is snsservice fetches email syncs at the selected intervals for the stock email app, because I haven't been getting any emails since the problem started. My girlfriend has the Samsung Fascinate (sister phone) and she has the EXACT same problem. Anyone else know?
I found a fix for this...I'll bet if you have this problem you don't have a Facebook nor Twitter account and thus, have removed the "Feeds & Updates" widget from your screens. If you DON'T force close the SNSService, but just put the Feeds & Updates Widget back on an unused screen somewhere it will immediately stop the snsservice from restarting. I've then deleted the widget from my screen and was good for about 2 weeks, then it started doing it again (after the facebook app got an update) so I just left the widget up now.

That's more of a workaround, rather than a fix.

I don't know, for sure it doesn't help it. It would be nice if somebody shed some light on this bug.
My fix is to just delete the two SNS apk's, and use the respective apps built in sync feature.

what are the 2 apks? are they safe to delete even if I'm using fb (Facebook)? I've notice that when snsservice is restarting and if I kill it, it will stop notifications on fb.

Excuse me...you are right, it's a workaround, like the airplane toggle and the upside down compass calibrate, but hey I hope folks can use it until it does get fixed, which, I think people with the issue would appreciate knowing.

To remove the stock, built in SNS features, you can remove the following files:
Snsaccount.apk
Snsproviders.apk
About affecting the fb app, I'm not sure. I just started using the fb app so I can't say with certainty. I am going to test and see if deleting either or both apk files stop notifications in the fb app. Based on what you said, sounds like it might.

I'm pretty sure you NEED those apks if you ARE using Facebook. You just need to put the Feeds and Updates Widget back on one of your unused screens.
No, if you're using the Facebook app that you download from the market, you don't need either of those apks.
Just tested notification functionality like I mentioned in my last post, and I am getting them all. Those apks are deleted on my phone.
You'd need to keep those apks if you want the Twitter and Facebook functionality that comes built in on a stock phone.

Does deleting those two apks not affect Latitude updates? I know their separate services but it seems as if Latitude doesn't automatically update correctly when I remove either snsservice or drmprovider.

I have posted this in several ROM threads as well as the Android Q&A, with not a single response.
This is what I get in the T9 dialer on ANY 4.2.1 ROM. If I tap "loading" it takes me to the contact list, I then hit the 'back' softkey and it takes me back to the dialer with the contact name displayed instead of 'loading'.
Why dont you wait for it to stop loading before you tap it? Do you have a lot of contacts? Because I dont and mine doesn't even display "loading" when dialing.

I have let it sit for up to 5 minutes and it stays at 'loading'. I have maybe 100 total contacts between my 2 Gmail accounts.

Hmm. Well I dont have that problem. Right when I press a number, the first contact it finds a match to pops right up. I'm running CM 10.1. Maybe it has something to do with the multiple Gmail accounts? I dont see why it would but its the only thing I can think of.
I don't have any issues with the stock dialer either, didn't even know there is a "loading" screen there. I use EX though cause I got use to the swipe left to text / right to call function.
Since you've given us no clue as to what you may have already tried, I'm going to start with the obvious...
I'm guessing you have either corrupt data from restoring via TiBu etc, in which case I would recommend deleting data from the app and rebooting; or you have permissions issues, in which case I would fix permissions via ROM manager and reboot...
that is pretty odd.
i once had my duplicate contacts resulting in about 300+ and i never seen that loading thing before.
i've run through boat loads of 4.2.1 roms and never seen that either.
perhaps you should check how your gmail accounts are synced in settings?
maybe go to www.google.com/contacts and see whatsup there>?
edit- agree with danger-rate
go to recovery->wipe cache->wipe dalvik cache->fix permissions->reboot

I don't restore anything from TiBu or any other backup program. I can try to fix permissions in CWM. I have run MMuzzy, Xenon, BAMF, CNA, and a few others. All of them do this on the T9 dialer. When I go between ROMs I wipe everything and start fresh.

Try fix permissions using ROM Manager.
CWM takes about 2 seconds, and gives you zero feedback. I'm not even sure it does anything.
RM takes about a minute, and tells you exactly what it's doing.
Wipe data from the app itself (long press the app in the recent used list and look at the app info). Wiping Dalvik won't do anything for this...

I just went to the Google contacts page and nothing looks wrong. I haven't had this problem since 4.2.1. I don't have a clue, it just seems odd I would be the ONLY person to have this issue.
Even after a rom manager fix permissions I still have the same problem.
Just to say its not only you OP I get this from time to time with no idea why,seems to be a rare problem,if I get it fixed will be sure to post the solution
Anyone have this issue? My contacts randomly crashes even when I'm on the home screen doing nothing.
Happens to me too. No idea why. Maybe because of some app I've disabled. I don't worry about it.

Try disabling hangouts. That should be the cure. Worked for me.
I also read somewhere Google + can cause contact issues also.
Already disabled. Like I said, I don't sweat the small stuff. ?

I would ignore it but it just happened 5 times playing boom beach lol
Waiting for lollipop to factory reset.
A Gmail update causes this to crash I read. I have lollipop now so it seems to be fixed but if your still having the issue uninstall the update on the Gmail app and see if it goes away
I had this issue also.. Drove me nuts... I cleared cache and data for contacts and contacts storage and that solved it for about 2 weeks... Then it happened once right when I opened the dialer... After that was about another 10 days or so without it.. Now I have Lollipop so hopefully it's still gone/fixed
Mince crashed a while back a few times then stopped. Happens on my wifes S5 as well. She doesn't use Hangouts.
Mine crashes now when I try to use the favorites tab and HD calling is enabled. If I use the contacts tab it works just fine. It only crashes on the contacts that also have HD calling. Anyone else experiencing this on 5.0?
I've had this problem dialing my wife from favorites. Clearing contacts storage data only temporarily resolves issue. No idea how to fix.
I did a factory reset and now the contacts work just fine even with HD calling enabled.
Hi,
Google App has suddenly stopped opening in the non-rooted 5t. Please check the attached video. What should I do?
Thanks
Bump..........
Same issue. Checked a lot of forums.. no fix yet, just temporary work arounds. Uninstall or clearing data. But only Works for a day.
I have the same thing......
And it's working again as of this morning!
I'm having this issue and it's driving me mad, the device has FamilyLink on it so I cannot turn off device administrator because all of the Google Account dialogs are broken, can't clear data, what a mess. I'm currently 80% sure I'll need to factory reset (if I even can!)
I was thinking I could maybe get into recovery but it wants a password that I apparently don't know. I tried my google password, my PIN, switching my PIN to a password, and nothing could get me in :s
(Edit 4/13: Got into recovery by removing the screen lock entirely, wiped the phone.)
Google App not opening & news feed not showing in Bing
Hi,
So, the Google app is not working in apparently all 5t phones-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/help/google-app-t4060959/post82241813#post82241813
Tested in my friend's phone also
Since the past few days news feed in Bing app has also vanished. But it works in every other phone besides op. Why is this issue happening only in oneplus phones? I have sent the devs logs 2 times but no action has been taken. Never ever a op phone again.
Thanks

Can you please confirm if Bing is showing news feed in your phone or not?
