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'm wondering if I have found the cause of the notorious problem with the system server taking up 100% of the CPU at bootup. It seems to correlate with gmail accounts, or exchange accounts syncing at bootup.
To try and figure out what what causing the problem I started with a fresh install of FRX03 (using the latest kernel, 1253) and slowly added back my programs and settings, rebooting as I added things. Only after configuring my gmail account for the first time did I experience the lag. I then changed my gmail to not sync anything and the lag issue went away. I then added my exchange account and the lag issue came back.
After configuring my exchange account to sync on a schedule instead of push mode I've been able to reboot five times with absolutely no lag. I did experience the lag isue one time, but prior to changing my account settings I had to reboot four or fives times just to get the phone working.
For anyone having the issue, please try disabling sync on your exchange and gmail and let me know the results.

I don't use gmail, so i don't sync it. I use hotmail and it syncs everything 15 minutes. I experience lag for about 1 min after booting and after that it works just fine.
Hrm, never heard a theory that it's based on GSync.
I think it's related to netloc - I've heard when GSM guys disable it, the bug all but goes away.
CDMA, unfortunately netloc doesn't work... so it's always off for me, and I definitely experience the bug.
Calling voicemail always clears it up for me.
Some have said opening Google Maps/Places fixes it too, but it doesn't for me - I'm wondering if it's GSM guys that is working for... I'd bet my left kidney.
The calling voicemail trick works for me too, but sometimes the phone is so hosed that my phone dialer crashes and I have to reset. I'll report back the next time I have time to reboot.
And just like that I'm experiencing the problem again.
*facepalm*
Oh well!

netloc = network location?
I cleared the data for network location in application settings and then rebooted and the problem didn't happen so maybe that is it. I keep doing that regularly and see if it continues to work.

For me the Google maps trick works.. takes longer then calling voicemail tho, cause it's a drag to navigate to google maps when everything is in slowmotion, and all I want is fastforward...
Takes a couple of times before it finds my location btw, first few clicks say location not available. But voicemail always does the trick
vmail does the trick
usually when it boots up into No Service, i wait for the 3g signal to come in before dialing. actually put a direct contact just for dialing hahaha

Are you on GSM?
I have this issue again with top showing system_server is constantly consuming around 50% CPU, this coupled with user CPU processes leaves my CPU pegged above 95%. As a result my phone is terribly slow and batt drains fast. I'm on Android stock unrooted 6.01 with a Galaxy note 4.

I don't know if anybody else is having this issue, but I am using the "Buddies Now" widget that came stock with this phone, I don't know what is causing this but randomly all of the widgets in question I have added to a page lose the person that it was assigned to and revert to being a blank widget with no contact. I am assuming something is resetting them. It was happening before I installed Advanced Task Killer and is continuing after so I don't think that something is getting closed because of ATK which is causing the issue....Any suggestions/help/advice? Thanks
Yep. I ran into that yesterday for the first time.

Curious...I wonder if an auto-sync of GMail contacts will reset the widget. If your contacts are constantly syncing, it could disrupt / reset the feed to the Buddies widget, essentially making you reassign each time your contacts update automatically.
Test that and see, just remove contact sync as auto and see what happens. Worth a stab
I hadn't noticed this.... then I read this thread and within 30 minutes it happened... just my luck
Probably just going to use a different launcher.

I'm going to try that now...lets see if that helps...I also have launcher pro already set up the way I like it but haven't set it as default yet...hopefully the issue can be resolved so I won't have to change but no big deal if I have to
Even after Unchecking sync for contacts and assigning each widget a contact around 815PM tonight most of the widgets have lost their assigned contact and now are blank.
Yep happened to me too.
I am just using direct dial shortcuts for now, that widget is way too unreliable.
I noticed mine were messed up after issues with contacting facebook.

Again, my were messed up after spending the entire weekend on roam and experiencing numerous LOS issues.
Contacts widget .. stumped
i am also having a similar problem. my contacts will not show up in the widget as they are in the list. doesn't matter what launcher i am running. this has got to be reasonably simple fix. Please and thx
What happened to the old buddies now widget from the OG epic. This one doesn't have no carousel effect and the pictures are blurry.
Buddies now widget Problem
Im getting this problem at random intervals it just resets and wipes all the tiles,
I have factory reset the phone and unchecked the auto-sync but it still resets,
it's Really Really starting to annoying me,
Anyone come across a solution on this?
If so please please share
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
Hi,
No matter what, gmail emails will not automatically be synced unless i manually refresh the gmail app. On my old Nexus 5 and any other android device I've used the gmail app will always send a push notification whenever i receive an email but that does not happen on my N5X. I have enabled all the sync settings etc, compared them with the N5 to see if i had any setting unticked etc but they are the same yet my new 5X doesn't sync.
Anyone know any solutions?

Working okay here. Doze mode can stop Gmail notifications, so if the phone is left for 30 minutes or so and isn't moved that might explain it. Generally the notifications then ping through when you turn on the phone, or they just arrive late at the next scheduled wake-up event that Doze controls.
It might just be a registration problem at Googles side with their cloud notification system, it may sort itself out, have you tried restarting the phone?
Are Hangout notifications coming through okay?

Check your settings in Gmail. I had checked do not notify me for every message at one point. But to check your situation unchecked that and am getting a good sync
I am experiencing this issue. Gmail just stopped syncing a week ago. It doesn't even check for new emails when I open Gmail app. Only Gmail has sync problem. Other apps including other Google apps don't have any problems. I'm on OnePlus One CM13 nightlies.
Thank god, I'm not alone. This has been happening for a week plus, for me. It's ridiculous. And only on my 5x. Tablet is fine.
I am not having any issues with syncing of Gmail. I am having an issue with getting notified from any inbox that's not my primary inbox (like social and promotions, etc...). When i open gmail and before it refreshes it says i have new emails. I have made sure I have my label Notifications set correctly. This started around December 24th.
Also just noticed this as well I have Light Manager installed and when i get a new email the light will blink informing me I received a new email, but there won't be any notification on the lock screen or in the notification bar. Hopefully Google gets this sorted out
having the same problem. The last sync occured on Xmas. WTF?

Yeah, it's been flaky for me lately the last couple of weeks. I read on 9 to 5 google about a bug around the do not disturb feature, I wonder if this weirdness is related. I'll be fine for a while, then i'll go hours without syncing until I manually sync. Not sure what's going on.
I fixed the same problem by uninstalling greenify and rebooting.
There's a bug ticket on this:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=197805
Star or comment and maybe they'll take the hint.
Been happening to me now for quite some time, even before 6.0.1. Neither Gmail nor Inbox are auto-syncing.

Same problem, only with Inbox. I have to enter the app in order to get it to sync. Starred the bug @plwalsh88 has posted.
Hi guys,
I had the same issue back when I first got my Nexus 5X. I fixed it eventually by factory resting the device. Been great since, no issues. I suggest you guys try the same if you want a possible solution.
Cheers,
Nath
That's what I was thinking... Wonder what rom you guys are running because everything is fine on pure stock. Gmail and everything else syncs without problems.
You may want to go back to a nightly from before Xmas and see if that fixes it. Or read the change log to find out what changed.

I am pure stock. Haven't even rooted or anything. Just taken the two OTAs I've received since I bought the phone back in Oct, putting me on MMB29K now. Waiting to see if anything comes out of the bug ticket before factory resetting... Shouldn't have to do that on a pure stock, unmodified phone.

Me neither. But I'm just suggesting it in case you desperately need it fixed. Otherwise feel free to wait and see if Google bother to fix it.

I've had issues with Gmail for over a year and nothing fixed it, I had to use inbox to get any notifications since then. I did notice that I haven't had any inbox notifications in the past week, but my connection hasn't been stable until today so I didn't think about it.
with my nexus 7 close by, i noticed as well that my 5x wasn't syncing gmail properly while having the exact same settings. what seems to have done the in my case was deactivating the battery-optimization for gmail. i have had it like that for almost a week now. mails once again come throug without me entering the app and i have not noticed any difference in the apps energy consumption.
So a couple more comments on this. 1) I read somewhere I believe on the bug post, about turning off the doze feature for GMail might solve the problem. I tried that along with turning it off for Nine(I use that for work Exchange email) 2) I see the problem with Nine also, so it's not just GMail. I'm thinking maybe Doze and ActiveSync aren't playing nice together. I've turned off Doze for both the email applications as of yesterday morning and so far, no issues. Anecdotal unfortunately at this point as It's not a simple repeatable problem to know for sure yet if it's really fixed.
I'm having the same issue. It's definitely the Nexus 5X and not gmail as I have my Nexus 7 with me and it notifies me fine (in fact, that's how I know I have emails most of the time). Not sure what's going on, but it's really getting annoying. I'm desperate enough to try a factory data reset soon.
