Ok, so my original Eris was causing a ton of problems for me, so I went to the Verizon store today and got it replaced. They gave me a recertified Eris. It's synced my contacts and everything, but not my market apps. How do I get it to sync them?
Unless you backed up your apps, you'll have to reinstall each of them.
Make sure that you are logged in with the same google account and also make sure that Auto-sync is on (Settings>Accounts&Sync>Autosync). If they don't sync, then you will have to download them again manually.
Were you running a 2.2 rom? Also, did you happen to have NHL app or score center installed?

Instead of setting up facebook as part of motoblur, I simply wanted to install facebook app and let it sync with my contacts like I had it on Nexus One.
However, when I go into accounts, I see 2 facebook icons, one as part of motoblur and other under "Other accounts".
Only the motoblur facebook account setup works, the other one does absolutely nothing. Tapping on it yields no results.
Is this intended behavior or am I missing something?
Don't know much about this yet. I'm currently using the installed app that's on the Atrix, will let you know more further, just bought the phone last nite.
Alright, thanks.
Im not sure whether yours has a problem or not but I've been using the Android app since day one and it has worked fine. I haven't used the motoblur facebook but I imagine it's not too different.
I just didn't like how the motoblur facebook app synced and the regular facebook app doesnt set up appropriately. I guess I'll try uninstalling and going it again.
Did you stated you installed the actual facebook app? and setup the atrix facebook app before hand?
ok I just installed the FACEBOOK APP THROUGH ANDROID MARKET, tried to SIGN IN, and stated "AN ERROR OCCURED......" but when i signed in a few times, it let me in, it could be a server issues, but I'm in and working. Try to sign in a couple times.

Did that, it worked, but now it doesn't show up under my accounts within settings. This is definitely broken.
Yea that is broken then, try to uninstall and reinstall the program.
So am I correct in assuming that Facebook Sync does not work with our Gingerbread 2.3.3 (GSB & Ginger Tazz) just as it does not on the Nexus phones?
If you are referring to the HTC facebook linking and stuff, then no. But you can sync all your contacts from Facebook and put them in your contacts with their pictures.

and how would I do that? I've tried a few things but it just doesn't seem to be syncing everything... I have facebook set up in Accounts and everything but it still isn't syncing all contacts...

That would be incorrect. It works just fine on my phone. FWIW, it does work fine with the official build of the Nexus S, but the official build of the Nexus One had Facebook contact sync revoked by Google. I don't know the status of AOSP 2.3.3, but it's working fine on GSB 1.9/CM7 RC1/2.3.3.

When you sign into Facebook from the app it will give you the option to sync contacts. Works fine for me on tazz cm7 rom

Well, I should say that my GSB 1.9 build was flashed over 1.8, which was flashed over a fresh install of 1.7. If you cannot get Facebook contact sync to work in 1.9, I suppose one thing to try is to fresh install an older version of GSB (say, 1.7), get everything set up on there (I'd do Facebook first, to make sure that contact sync is working for you) and the flash over with 1.9 and gapps.
My only issue with FB contact sync is that I have manually join some contacts with my existing gmail contacts after a fresh install. FWIW, HTC's facebook contact sync was always much smarter about this.

I did the unforgivable - never did before. I backed up my system's App data from GSB 1.9 and restored it to GingerTazz 11. It actually works quite well. I only have two quirks, Flow keeps FCing and I can use the Facebook app but not add it to the sync list.
I definitely could before.
I'm going to do a fresh install now that I have more time so I anticipate both of these to go away.

Had sorta the same thing coming from GSB v1.9-GSB v2.0. I had to uninstall Facebook then reinstall from market. Everything works great now!

I'm on Ginger tazz 10 and I've had no problems with Facebook sync but then again v11 had a few probs go either 10 or 12

The thing is whenever Google released GB 2.3.3 the Facebook contact sync was supposed to be disabled. So when Shed and Tazz compiled there source that feature should not be there. This is only in GSB 2.0 and Tazz's v12 because they are 2.3.3. Anything previous to these versions still should sync with no problems. Now with that said, I have noticed that the sync is still working for me in GSB 2.0. Although it may be hit and miss for others. My advise would be to NOT to update Facebook until this gets fixed and all the bugs get worked out. The problems is not with the phone or the roms. Its with Google and Facebook.

its kinda weird because some of my contacts do sync and some don't.... like you said... hit or miss...
Just installed Cyanogen along with google apps. I was under the impression that once google is installed, my contacts would be imported automatically once I entered my email. That's not the case though and for the life of me I can't seem to import them at all.
What am I missing here?
u dont have a backup of ur contacts on ur sd card??

Unfortunately not. Since the Vibrant I guess I stupidly assumed all roms would sync automatically.
Any ideas? Is it supposed to sync automatically with google installed? Just trying to figure it out.

Not sure if this really works

Yes, definitely. My contacts are permanently on google within my gmail account.
I've since had to flash back to an older rom as I had to go out and needed my contacts on there. From what I saw though I'd absolutely love to go back to CM7 asap (it's beautiful) so I really want to find a solution to this. Cause while I can now back up my contacts on my sim or vcard then put them on CM7, what's gonna happen when I'm constantly adding new names (which I do daily)? I don't want to have to manually keep backing my contacts up.
Isn't google apps supposed to take care of that on CM7? I'm just thinking that something is off with my setup. Surely CM7 is supposed to constantly sync your contacts (like all other roms) once google apps is installed, no?
Edit: I got it sorted out. Google apps wasn't installing properly before. It works perfectly now.
hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.
eric
Make sure you are syncing and signing in with your gmail account that you purchased the apps on. Do you have more than one gmail account?
Hey guys,
I'm currently running the most recent cm10.1 nightly for the N4 conversion. Recently all of my 3rd party google apps (voice, calendar, tasks) stopped syncing and I have no idea why. My apps that are specific to the phone (gmail, contacts, play music) all sync without a problem, but I just cant get any of the apps I downloaded from the app store to sync to my google account.
Has anyone dealt with this before and know how I can fix it? I'm guessing it is some sort of a com.android file that went missing when flashing the rom. I've tried factory resetting and flashing clean, and wiping app data and uninstalling each app, but no luck.

Have you tried launching the app first then go into settings>accounts and making sure the desired option is checkmarked.

Yes I have done that. The only thing I can even think of doing now is wiping my titanium backup data and reinstalling all my apps fresh. Ive wiped all data for the apps that aren't working, but maybe wiping all apps would help?
