Trying to sync all my facebook friends to my phone contacts, but it just won't do it
Running XWKE2
Is this a commonly problem, any ideas on how to fix it?
Edit: Alright did the OTA software updates and it works now.. is there a way to keep the facebook contacts without keeping facebook logged in?

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!

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 xda. I was hoping you could help me.
On my last ROM installation I had a big problem with facebook contact syncing. What happened was I installed the facebook app and synced with that as well as syncing with the facebook integration of the contacts app.
It was a big mess.
My question to you lovely folks is this: which method should I use for best results?
Facebook application, or contacts application facebook sync.
Thank you very much

Honestly, I sync both (possibly needlessly). I have had small issues in the past, but as of awhile now, not one single problem. Might depend on the ROM. I run Adrynalyne's Super Clean 2.9. I love it. What I personally suggest, TRY syncing them both again, if that's what you like, or just Sync the Facebook App as the Facebook App Syncs everything that the Phone Facebook Sync does.
Has anyone else had a problem with their Google contacts syncing to their phone. I get the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly message". I can download contacts from Google but it will not upload the new contacts i put into my phone from just regular day to day usage... I have backed up all my contacts on both sides then deleted all the contacts off my phone and my google account. I have wiped the data on the people app, contacts storage app, and the google account sync... I have deleted the groups and favorites... but still when i try to sync up it still give me the sync error... Has anyone else had this problem? Oh im running the Viper DNA rom btw.
Hello everyone.
My phone started behaving weird.. it keeps switching to vibrate by itself. I'm not sure yet whats causing this but I searched around and I found that it might be caused be some app. So I'm thinking about restoring factory settings, but I want to keep my contacts intact.
The thing about my contacts is that I spent a lot of time joining people's phone numbers with emails, Facebook accounts.. etc.. I tried to export a backup using Contacts app but it said some info fields might be lost. So I'm wondering if there is a way to keep contacts as s after resetting the device.
Thanks in advance,

Go into Settings > Accounts and make sure all of the ones you have contacts with are synced and if you have some that are just stored on the phone only, make sure to sync to your Google account.
Will this keep Facebook, and other profiles linked to their contacts in the contact app?
Also, I deleted some Facebook contacts from my contacts app. If I synced Facebook app, will this remove the contacts from my Facebook account,? or re-adding them again to the contact app?

When you install the Facebook app back to your phone after factory reset and login. It will ask you to sync your contacts with the Facebook Profiles. In other words. This will link your contacts with the Facebook profiles on your friends list. And no it will not remove the contacts from your Facebook.

But note that when I installed fb app and synced contacts with the fb profiles, most profiles (I believe the ones that had no phone number) were not linked to contacts. I had to use the Join feature in Contacts app to link them one by one. I wouldn't have to do it again, would I?

Yes you would they don't save joined. Most just in case you don't install one of the apps again.
There is no way to do what your looking to do without redoing them.
