My Twitter account in Accounts & Settings always comes up with an error for syncing down contacts.
Anyone know how to fix? Not possible to delete the preinstalled Twitter app and start again!
I have the same problem.

Hi!
same problem here with my two Twitter accounts.
The message that appears in the Account & Sync screen is like the following:
Synchronization has got some problem. The operation will be restored soon.
Or maybe: Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
If I tap on the Twitter Account, there are two options to be enabled:
Synchronize Twitter Data
Synchronize Contacts
As regard the Synchronize Contacts item it has an exclamation mark near the sync icon. It is clear that the issue is related only to the contacts.
Why is this happening?
Any news?
Ok, it has been found that it is a Twitter app issue.
Me and my friend have sumbitted a bug report to Twitter for fixing.
Please do as well.
Twitter 3.1.0 has just been relased but the contact sync problem is still there! They've fixed everything but the most important thing!

Hi,
When i try to sync with google contacts the contacts in the gmail account are loaded into phone.
But the contacts in my mobile are not showing up in gmail...
Can anyone help me out?
I have problems when i try to sync contacts form phone book with gmail account i receive next msg: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" i mention sync of calendar and gmail it's working fine. I use facebook sync with existing accounts too.
I am trying to add my Facebook account to my Atrix. I click on the icon under Settings - > Accounts but nothing happens. I can only add Facebook through Motoblur. Anyway to fix this? The Facebook app from the market works fine and stuff but I don't get any of my contacts sync'd unless I add Facebook to my accounts list.
I too was experiencing this problem, it seems it's been disabled by disabled by motoblur (contacts won't show information from the facebook app such as statuses anyway as it is not the stock contacts app). I found a way around it and was using it temporarily to sync display pictures but since then facebook has been forced by google to remove the sync feature entirely, that function -should- be dead on all android devices at the moment.
Hope this helps

Edit: http://heartofangel.com/google-contact-sync/ Use this for almost all information except statuses which as I said won't work.
Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble at the moment getting my Facebook contacts profile pictures to show up when sync'ing my contacts with the Facebook for Android app. It sync's the accounts okay because I can still view a contact and it will have a link to their Facebook profile, however it's no longer sync'ing the pictures anymore.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Facebook app and then sync'ing contacts again but it still doesn't work. Does anyone have any idea why that might be? Cheers.
i did had this issue.... i removed the facebook account from social hub & the facebbok app itself..
Settings -> accounts and sync -> then clicking on the account and removing them.
Then first added facebook to social hub...synced it...then pictures were back...then i had to again log on to facebook app...and synced again (this is just to attach the contacts) so that the app can be lauched from contacts itself.

I don't have Social Hub, I froze it in Titanium Backup and it seems to have disappeared. Think I'm going to have to reset the phone.
Just try to delete and readd your Facebook.sync account. And then sync again. That worked for me. I never use the hubs

Cheers for the replies guys. I found out what the problem was, the ROM I had installed had the Facebook sync removed from it. Did a full wipe only to realize this afterwards, all sorted now though.
So I have three exchange accounts that sync with my phone. Only one is checked to handle contacts. A few days ago, I noticed I had 3 duplicates of my contacts when browsing my contacts, either directly from the contacts shortcut in my app drawer or via phone>contacts. I removed the account from my phone and readded it last night. Everything was fine until this morning when I noticed my phone was doing it again, showing duplicating contacts. Right now when I go down the list every contact associated with the exchange account is duplicated.
Has anyone seen or heard of anything like this? If so, wanna share a fix?

Does the US version not have a Merge Duplicate contacts option under settings??

Thanks for the reply! I have 'Merge with Samsung account' and 'Merge with Google' as the two menu options with merging in them. Under 'Contacts to display' I have chosen only to show my exchange contacts for the account I sync contacts with, so I know these duplicates are coming from one exchange account only. Also when I look online at Outlook.com all my contacts are not duplicated.
I d this problem with doubles not triples...all i had to do was select Merge Duplicate Contacts and it went through my contacts and all the duplicates were gone.

I wish I had that option... I just noticed my calendar events (birthdays mainly) are duplicated as well.
I would try the merge with Google if you have not already.

Help! I am facing the same isues th Exchange contacts n calendars. I removed the exchnge account n resyn. It was fine for a while, and then double contacts n calendars started to appear.
Same issue here....
I have a company exchange account and hotmail (exchange)....with contact sync only with my company account.
All the sync options are properly set for both of these accounts.
What i notice is that after a day or so... I will see my hotmail reloading all emails then duplicate contacts start to appear on my contact list.
It's weird because my contacts are from my company's not hotmail.
I have a similar setup on my last phone (Galaxy Nexus) and I do not have the duplicate contact problem.
Exchange Duplications

I am running the latest CM9 / AOKP / Liquid Rom (10/26). I can not seem to sync my facebook contacts with my google contacts. So in the contacts I am not seeing contact pictures or any facebook related info. I have went to menu / system settings / accounts & sync and set facebook account to sync on. That did not work. So I uninstalled and re-downloaded the facebook app again. Still no dice. Any suggestions?
App Facebook Contact Sync. Do not allow the facebook app to sync, it will only duplicate if it even works. Which in 99% of the case it doesnt.

Ang1dust, Facebook Contact Sync app did the job. Thanks.
Is there a way to get facebook contacts sync without the facebook app? I've generally found that letting it run on my phone causes all sorts of problems.
