I ve been looking for a while with no success on the forum.
A friend just got the Defy but cannot get facebook to sync his contacts.
Phone is fresh, with no root or custom rom.
I installed for him the Facebook app which sat on top of the stock facebook app and still no luck. There is no sync contacs in facebook > settings.
In Settings> Accounts> Add, there is the option for facebook but clicking on it will do absolutely nothing (well.. the icon does get colored when clicking but just that!).
did he add Facebook to his Motoblur Accounts?
I had the same problem with a modded rom. Went back to stock and all ok.

The Greek ROM is the CEE ROM, the Central Europe ROM and it does not include Motoblur. The official Facebook app won't sync, not sure if it's a bug or intentional. The only way is to flash the phone with a Motoblur enabled ROM, but then no more Greek menus, so it's up to your friend.

Thank you very much for your reply!
Not having greek menus is not a problem, but the phone is not rooted. Need to root to get a english-facebook-working rom?
Hi, my Defy is just 5 days old and I'm also experiencing the same issue. Mine's Asian firmware (with no motoblur) and is experiencing the same error.
Just wanna ask if I will just do the same procedure- using RSD Lite to flash another ROM? I've downloaded UK firmware JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1 (with a note "You cannot downgrade after flashing this firmware.")
Is it safe to flash this directly to my asian FW JRDNEM_U3_2.51.0 ??
I can confirm that the Greek firmware version (which you can find at Germanos Romania) has the problems with the Facebook app.
From what I found the problem seems to be the Facebook app and you can't do much about it.
I gave up on searching for a while, but I'll get back after I finish customizing the phone. Maybe the much expected update will save us all.
Cheers!

Same problem for me with Facebook and Defy bought in Romania - sync is not working
Same here in Hungary. With the stock Blurless rom.

It's "safe", the flash will work without a problem - BUT - I'd recommend you actually flash the JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0 ROM. It's a bit older, but many people who upgraded to the 2.51 version have had issues upgrading to Froyo later - so I'd suggest you avoid it. The 2.21 ROM has no such issues.

That won't work, he states he already is on version 2.51 which means he cannot flash anything earlier, the phone won't boot. He can safely flash the UK 2.51 though.
Exact same problem here. Phone was on firmware 2.51 out of the box so nothing I can do about that. I also installed latest facebook app and indeed tapping facebook in the add accounts screen does nothing. I am using rom Adlxmod F4D version 2 which is Froyo.
Read somewhere on the internet that it can also be device specific so facebook does not natively support sync for all phone models. Hope that is not true...
Here they have a modified Facebook apk for sync to work on a CM rom for the EVO 4G. Maybe someone can do the same for the Defy.
And more interesting stuff to read.
Nobody is interested to investigate this a little bit more? I've been looking into modding apk's but I found nothing about locking in or out certain devices. Also tried random text searches, call them educated guesses, in the apk-files but again found nothing. It seems that Facebook sync is only supported in Android 2.2 and since the Defy officially still has 2.1 it probably takes a while before Facebook officially allows us to sync.
somebody pls look into this! I need facebook sync soo badly!
Facebook sync solved!
I am on Pays ROM and had the same error trying to sync Facebook contacts.
The answer is here my friends:
Look up the Social Buzz apk on the net.
I've found it in a multiupload link on the net.
The socal buzz apk comes in a zip file with 2 apps to instal.
First install pluto and then install the Social buzz apk.
It logs in Facebook quickly and it restores the Facebook contacts sync.
is there a way to sync facebook contacts with the ones in gmail? because that would solve the problem (btw i have the blurless hungarian rom too). i know you can load gmail contacts to facebook, the question is if it is possible to do it the other way around...

I had the same problem with my htc magic ruining on CM 6.1.
But after that I installed the skype app and synced contacts with that, the fb sync started to work too...
Maybe that can work here too.

hello!
hey guys! i have the same problem!! i was running the stock 2.2.2 asian firmware on the defy, and well it didnt work!! then once i rooted my device and started swapping roms i realised it didnt work on quite a few custom roms!! today i was reading this article about how googles taking a stand and something to do with contacts linkining on facebook! so lets see maybe in a future update of face book we'll get lucky!
I used an app that syncs the picture of my facebook contacts, I can't remember the name, but there's one. But it syncs only the picture.
The contacts sync isnt yet supprted in the official facebook app but there is a rom that lets you merge facebook without the need of a blur account. The latest Taiwan released 2.3.4/4.5.2-109 lets you add facebook and other networking accounts with contacts and inbox sync. Check it out in the Development forum.

Ever since I rooted my device Google Sync Contacts is not working , no matter what ROM I'm using , I've been through many ROMs in hope it fixes the problem but nothing is helping
While it's not of a big deal since I use Titanium Backup to regularly back up contacts , but it's kind of annoying to manually update my contacts in Gmail every time I add someone :X
I did clean installation every time all I get when I try to sync Contacts is "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." & last sync was 28th of July "just before I rooted my phone" , everything else under google account is syncing ok without problems .

Before rooting I didn't have this problem but just now , & it's not related to any specific ROM , I tested on my brother's rooted X10 Mini Pro & it seems he can sync no problem , so how can I get Google to sync contacts again with my phone ?
Last sorry if this question has been asked before in a way or another , I did search before posting & none had exactly same problem.
Thanks in advance
