Three are lots of good alternative email apps. A few to look at are Cloud Magic, TypeMail, and Mailwise. I. Have tried all three of these with my corporate Exchange account and they work fine.

thanks, i reached out to them.
figured it out, it's because of 2 step authentication. since asus is not using the "new" login method for Microsoft, it doesn't try at all to attempt 2 step authentication so it fails. disable 2 step in security and app works now. add 2 step back and app still works.

Is there an app or methodology to get Facebook birthdays to sync to the birthday field in your contacts? I know how to add them to my calendar, or have a third-party app display them. I want them to be added to the actual contact record of a person.
Also, is there an app that allows you to add a location to a calendar event by contact. For example, I have my doctor's address in my phone, and would love to be able to select his name to add to events. If this is possible with Google Calendar or S Planner, please describe the steps to accomplish this.

Every Facebook syncing app only syncs a contact's birthday to your calendar...he wants a way to have their birthday under their contact info. I don't think there's a way to automatically do it..but if you have some time you could manually add them. Just..
Edit contact > add new field > event

Well doesn't misreading just suck, lol.
Right, I want it as an event under contacts, but the manual process is what I'm trying to avoid. This seems like a pretty simple idea (as long as contacts have the same name.) Don't know why it's more difficult than adding to a calendar. I guess it's related to the fact that when you sync Facebook contacts their birthdays are not there also.
Haxsync seems to put the birthday under contacts as well its a setting in advanced

I did some research here and on the internet to set up my gmail account with exchange settings to get push notifications but none work.
Not sure if its a sprint thing.
It worked fine on ATT.
Anyone has any idea how to do it?
thanks
Don't we have push notifications already with the default Gmail app?

Are you using the Gmail app? I'm on sprint too and there isn't a way that I know of to change the sync times....should be push by default.....

any help on this would be very much appreciated
Normally the best thing to do is clear facebook data and log in again, if that doesn't work then uninstall/reinstall.

tried all that m8,endlessly searching on google,nothing works,many people have the same problem even with different phones,beginning to think it's a problem @facebook's end,have installed Android Pro Widgets,logged in no probs.
Would still like to find a solution though
Having the exact same issue here. Tried every solution that i've found, needless to say nothing worked.
Something i have found out is that if i use my girlfriends account, or any other account except my own, there are absolutely no issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Setup another facebook account,and it didn't authorize,worked straight away,this time sense is showing as public and not only-me

So did you manage to find a fix, or did you just setup a new account? Because i have tried mostly everything, but i still have the issue.
This hasn't worked for me for ages, but a little work around:
Open the Facebook app until it asks for access.
Minimize app
Login to facebook on browser.
Minimize browser, and go back to facebook app.
This usually allows the app to login for me

I've the same Issue. Disabled auto-synch to get rid of this symbol in statusbar. I hope Sense 5 will fix this
I use outlook.com for my emails, phone book etc. Everything was fine with my contacts on my phone, I had all the small avatars for myself and all my contacts. I've got a big problem since MS updated me to their new style Outlook.com.
All my contacts Avatars have gone and I seem to have every contact in my phone from Facebook even though I have only chosen 'Outlook' in the settings. More annoyingly I have about 300 'Unnamed' contacts appear in my contacts and none of them have any info inside. I have deleted my account on the phone and resynced and it is still the same?
Has anyone come across this and any ideas how I can get my original properly synced settings back?
I have about 300 of these empty names now,

Did you already check in Settings > Apps > Outlook if all permissions are granted. If not, delete your Outlook account, set all permissions, re-add your account.

I'm using the outlook that is in the accounts settings and not the Outlook app itself. I've got my mail,calendar and phone numbers synchronised.
Maybe I'll install the App and give it a go that way and chose that setting in the phone app to see if that sorts it.

If you guys want to know some good email apps the type mail app works great so does blue mail I use both and they rock. They have like a 4.6 or 4.7 rating not many apps get praises like that. Just thought I would mention that as I think the outlook app has a lot to be desired.

Thanks for that but it's not the email I have problems with it's the Outlook account sync problems that give me hundreds of false empty entries in my people phone book when I sync to Outlook.com. They are obviously not in there so I don't know where they are coming from. It has only happened since MS updated me to their new Outlook.com style of page.
Oh I had that issue on Tuesday with the outlook servers using Thunderbird email software I had to force close a couple times now seems to be fine all day Wednesday yesterday and still going fine.
Hi All,
First Post, please be gentle .
TLDR: What do you need from me to help me discover why my phone contacts periodically self delete?
I'm not incredibly tech savvy, however i know my way around a smartphone, and majority of the settings etc.
I have set myself up with a Pixel 3xl with LineageOS installed.
I am not sure what i have done, or what is causing it, however periodically and unexplainably, all my contacts get deleted from my phone, only ones remaining are the ones synced from a nextcloud server.
I am surviving by recovering all lost contacts from a backup i made when i originally moved to the phone and new contacts persist through the Nextcloud syncing, via DAVx5.

Not sure but I have instantly an urge to blame the syncing between NC and your device, no? And what is the period? How about switching off NC for contacts?

Nope DONT WANT IT.
I can try the next cloud thing, however what alternative should i use in the mean time.
The frequency is random, last time it didn't happen for a month, sometimes it is only half the contacts, its really random... Or i haven't noticed a clear pattern.

Weird. Can't think of an alternative right now, unless perhaps exporting your address book manually after adding a contact (mark all contacts, then export for example by bluetooth or simply saving).
