I have the exact same problem, I would appreciate a solution
i know this doesn't fix your problem but just to confirm I have no issues on my TP2 so it must be a connection config problem.
Have you gone to settings>connections>connections>advanced and selected the proper networks?
Facebook
Thanks but i have no conection issue I have push mail working fine and RSS hub also updating. i tried over wifi 3g gprs everythingworks exept facebook
Same problem here.
Mail, rss, weather, browser work. Facebook app doesn't.
Using a Dutch ROM
i have noticed it has not downloaded the images of all my friends... now irrespective of the fact that it updates status msgs, photos are not downloaded for all.... it pulls some photos of friends down at times.... any way i can sync all the photos too?
ok... let me just answer my own question...
simply delink any one contact and re click link the contact with FB.... this brings the link profiles page up... wait there for sometime till the application downloads all the photos.... that's it... u r done!

i even tried going to individual contacts and clicking on update photo but it has not worked...
any experts...
does someone know a better hack to synchronise the photos?
ok... i downloaded fonebook and let it do the integration... forget the htc app!

I am having the same problem. Got my TP2 today and can't get the Facebook Application or Microsoft MyPhone to communicate. I have the network connections all set correctly and everything preinstalled works fine.
Did someone mention you should untick the proxy server setting??
Anyone find a solution to this yet??? I'm having the same problem.. Thanks!
Don't know if it is a coincidence but after I removed/disabled my facebook login data from Skyfire I didn't get a connection error anymore. I granted Skyfire to be logged in even after closing it and maybe then facebook is locked for other apps.
Solution
I found a solution for my problem with the facebook-connection. It seems the application can't handle my password. It contains the folowing symbols: "?&".
I changed my facebook password to letters & numbers only and now it works.
I found another problem. I have tried this a few times and even did a hard reset to my device.
The facebook Update and Events function crashes Manila.exe everytime if you have 63 contacts linked to facebook contacts. It won't crash it if you have 62 or 64 links but only 63.
To replicate this, all you need to do is:
1. Have 63 contacts linked to facebook profiles.
2. Click update now from People->All People->3rd Tab(person with a clock)->Menu->Update Now.
It will tries to update but it will fail and crash. I had to delete one of my links so it won't crash anymore. More over, I added more links to test if it can't handle more than 62 links but it can.
Really don't understand why it can't handle the number 63. It really pisses me off now that I have to remove a link or I have to find a friend that I can link to on facebook.
Anyway, I thought I will share this with you guys, just in case yours crashes because you have 63 links.
"Facebook Login failed"-Problem solved.
You have to change your Facebook login password to a easier one. It's seems to be a problem, if you use special chars. +:%>)*/+=^ etc. in your password.
Just a question about this: does anybody knows if the application erases existing picstures with the facebook ones ?
I have pics for soem of my friends who are also on facebook and want to keep the oens I have at the moment on my outlook... And dont anna run the risk of running the sync and losing them
Does the app propose to keep the existing ones selectively ?
Hi
I hadn't had any pictures in my Outlook contacts, but the HTC Facebookapp replaced my Windows Live contact images in my adressbook.
I have recently purchased the HTC Desire HD and its an amazing phone. So glad to be away from Apple - amazing to have so much control over my phone again.
I have rooted, installed Android Revolution - and I am currently trying to find ways to improve my battery life - thanks to all the great posts on here about that, I have spent ages reading and tweaking the phone. The best thing is however I can carry round spare batteries! Good bye iPhone
Anyway I have a slight problem that I think is related specifically to the HTC. I have a Google Apps Domain account. I have set up the Gmail Sync for Contacts / Calendar - but the sync is only one way. So all changes online from my laptop change the contacts on the phone but not the other way round? E-mail syncs fine as well... just not calendar / contacts - I have seen problems online with Gmail accounts - but not with Google Apps accounts - do you guys have any ideas?
Cheers

Clear data of any google applications from setting may help.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
And let it resync? Won't I loose all the new data off the phone??
Cheers
anyone got any more ideas on this one?
C
Weird...you have it set to sync manually or automatically? Also check what google synchronizes under accounts and sync...see if contacts and calendar are there. I ve never had any problems
hey thanks for getting back to me... I have set it to auto sync in background, contacts checked - new ones come down to phone from account but when a new on on the phone is made - it doesn't go back up to Google Apps account

Hi,
this is an old topic, but I had exactly the same problem. Clearing the data and cache from Gmail totally helped. It resynced everything and it is working normal again. Thx for the idea jokies.
Hi Every 1,
I have my company gmail registered to my phone
Now I no longer in my old company so I wanted to delete the gmail account
But it does not allow me to remove the account & the error message that I received is:-
"
This ccount is required by some applications> You can only reove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults( which deletes all of your personal data). You do that in Settings, under SD & phone storage.
"
I tried to check and HTC Market is the 1 that keep on asking me to relog my company gmail but this email has already deactivated by company
I could not delete the account yet unable to relog the company gmail
Any 1 can help to share some idea besides master reset the whole cell phone?
Thanks
So my first guess would be... that company gmail your trying to get rid of is also the same gmail that your phone is setup with, if this is infact the case, maybe try adding another google account first, and swaping everything in the phone to the account i.e. market, and google sync, and then try deleting, if that doesn't work, simply add another google account, set up everything on that account, and under accounts and sync, uncheck all of the sync options for the old google account, try deleting it again then, or just leave it there to rot and do nothing
Hi,
Noted your advice
But I could not find a way to switch my company gmail to my personal gmail in market.
This may be 1 of the limitation that Android faced
Just backup everything and do a factory reset. Bwahahahah *evil laugh*
Oopps, I went a little overboard there, sorry.
But that's the easiest way to do it.

after a new account is added, market, menu, accounts, should get a popup, window that allows you to select which account to use. Now you are going to lose anything that you previously had purchased on the other google account, maybe a way to contact google and have them transfer purchases or something.
Thanks all,
But I believe the best method that drpsyko said is correct. Master reset it.
To xx_bluedev_xx,
I had tried many ways but still unable to have any pop outs says for me to switch email
You cant remove the email account used to set up device. Only way is factory reset.

Hi twiztedvvv,
Thanks
Before I factory reset, how should I back up my sms and contacts & email address?

stock messaging app in Sense 3 provides backup option , you can backup your contacts by going to people>Menu>Export
alternatively you can use MyBackup Pro, its v good when it comes to resetting your device
Thanks atifhasan86
I manage to export my phone & company emails address to my SD card
I wonder how to import back once i factory reset it?
I will download My Backup Pro from market after i master reset it cause now i unable to download anything as my email used to set up this cellphone is deactivate

Same thing happened to me with my school email. Worked for a year then one day it just stopped. What it was is the school changed their server so they could funnel email to their new app.
So I set up my account through my native phone app and these are my settings that seem to work
Edit: oddly enough the hotmail app works for me suddenly lol. Recently I did re-flash my firmware then re rooted and deodexed maybe that fixed it
Actually uninstall the app if your using the hotmail app, then go to settings then backup and reset and uncheck it, it should warn you it will delete any saved backups hit ok then reinstall the app and try the account again. I just noticed on my ion under backup and reset that it saves deleted app settings so if your app bugged out in the settings it will always come back unless you delete your back-up
Hello everyone,
My device is G4, LG-H815 variant and it's updated to Android 5.1, not rooted. My problem: there seems to be no way to import Facebook contacts to contacts list.
I have migrated all my settings and apps from my G3 using LG Backup successfully. The Facebook and Messenger apps work fine, show all my contacts, and are configured to sync contacts. I have also gone into Contacts settings and made sure Facebook sync is enabled. But no matter how long I wait (1 day), only my Gmail contacts show. There also seems to be no syncing option for Messenger.
Things I've tried to no avail:
- rebooting
- reinstalling Facebook and Messenger app and configuring them from a scratch
- restarting Contacts app
- unsyncing and syncing again
- removing my Facebook account and adding it again

I always turned Facebook sync off, I never use it [emoji14], but I'll try to give you some suggestions.
1. have you tried setting Contact to display in contact app settings to All contacts?
2. is the contact sync in the Facebook app settings turned on for all contact?
that's as far as I know in android syncing. if it doesn't work, maybe the other could help you. sorry!

Same issue
Thank god I'm not the only one with this issue!! I thought I was going mad. I just got this phone & not used to LG phones.
Okay, so I haven't done as much as you, I have uninstalled/reinstalled fb and msngr though & still nothing. When I select to see only fb or msngr contacts it shows none, only myself.
I'm slowly losing hope to see a resolution as this is the first post I've seen with this issue!
I will keep checking this thread Thanks for posting
I have a similar problem but with Dragon Quest 8....the thing refuse to sync my save on the cloud....i remember that on a M8 i hasnt problems at all ;_;

I feel just the same. I can confirm than syncing worked just fine on my LG G3. With G4, it looks just like the Contacts app doesn't see my Facebook account for some reason, regardless of the settings.
Same thing is happening to me... Any of you with this problem have a second phone? I have an s6 with no sync problems for work in addition to my g4. My only possible thought is some how that is affecting my lg...? Hopefully someone figures this out ASAP
Been talking to UK LG Mobile Support today, their advice is to enable syncing from Facebook app's settings. When told that this didn't work for me, they said they're not aware of anybody having this issue. So, has anybody solved this yet?
Alright, here's the reason behind the problem:
Apparently Facebook no longer supports syncing for Android devices. Just like that. As confirmed by Facebook itself under a link I can't post.

Hey there,
Poked around a bit more...not sure that is true. Seems like a lot of internet BS generated from frustrated people with the same problem we are having. There are no concrete facts from Facebook or Google that currently support that theory.
On another note, this problem started happening on my G4 about two weeks ago, at which time it was synced to my facebook contacts prior...so, it may be possible a software update was pushed and this functionality was not carried over?
My current workaround (i'm not giving up on this, don't worry)...buy/borrow an older android device from a friend or off CL, sync your facebook, manually program the names of the contacts you need from facebook sync on that phone to your G4...I already tried exporting the CSV from my work phone to my G4 with no luck of carrying over my facebook contacts.

Facebook changed the api download most of the photo sync apps from the appstore they do nothing now

I spent three awesome hours last night pretending like it was 2002 and manually copying numbers from my work phone to my new phone since it is still sync'd with facebook...at least now they are permanently in my google account
Had the same issue. I uninstalled the FB updates to factory. Re-syncedb and set Facebook to manual updates.
Hi!
I know this post is relatively old, but I recently purchased the LG G4 Vigor. While at the Kiosk of my service provider, they transferred all my contacts for me. Bad idea!!! I spent the last two days trying to figure out why my Facebook contacts would not transfer. Furthermore, all the addresses were not transferred at all. So, I worked hard to find the problem. I simply had to Reset Factory data! . For some reason, when they transferred my contacts, it was interrupting the Facebook contacts from transferring. Before doing so, make sure you save all info on your SD card. I took out my SD card, for good safety measure. After the Reset, do not install the SD card right away. Open Facebook and go through login etc., then in your phone contacts settings, accounts & sync, add Facebook, then go to "contacts to display", click all contacts. Check your contacts folder to be sure. Do this before transferring your data from your SD card. Unfortunately, you will have to go through and delete those contacts, from FB, you don't want. At least they are all there, with picture and info! Hope this helps!!!
