Has anyone else noticed that Google has recinded their facebook syncing capabilities with the Photon 4G?? I had to do a data wipe on my phone and realized that even though I logged into my Facebook account, it will not let me join Facebook contacts with my Google contacts.
If I am mistaken that they have done this or if I am missing something (which I doubt) please let me know. Thank you.
I don't know if they killed facebook syncing but it does take a long time sometimes. I just wiped my phone too and going through the rebuilding process...
Unfortunately, when I try to add my LinkedIn account, I get "An internal error has occurred, please try again". I've tried numerous times (with the correct login info) and still no luck. GRRH!!!

Yea, I've gotten that error before too. It's on the part of LinkedIn. And have you been able to join facebook contacts yet?

I flashed the latest SBF update and the LinkedIn problem went away!!!
UPDATE: Although the LinkedIn connection problem went away, my FaceBook contacts are NOT syncing. Not sure what's going on here.
Same issue here. Temporary fix is SyncMyPix app.

I was using syncmypix as well as F-Sync. Give it a total of two days and you should be good.

Hey all,
I don't know if any of you have encountered this problem yet but I decided to download the Facebook for Windows Mobile App from the Marketplace and I logged in and everything worked fine untill I opened the app up later on to find it will not update, I tried on WIFI and 3G etc Nothing happens it starts to refresh (eg the rotating loading icon appeared) and then stops and it doesn't actually refresh.
Is there a way to go back to the original app? or is it all around better to use the Opera web version?
Thanks very much for your time!

I'm running Dutty CDLC v15 and it's only started happening since yesterday. Maybe something wrong with Facebook? It works if you log out and log back in again though.
I uninstalled and reinstalled to see if it would work and it did, didn't think to try logging out to be honest ha-ha I think it may have something to do with the program. I will try and see what either Facebook or Microsoft says and hope they make a new update that actually works.
Thanks for the reply =]
Facebook itself is having problems. Been reading all over Twitter, people saying Facebook is down. Don't know how the site is,but the app definitely isn't working for me.
I posted about this over in general, was told the same thing, logging in and out seems to work but you have to log in and out every time you want to update.....
its a facebook side error though that's the bottom line......

HMM .. I found a different facebook APP called XDA FACEBOOK .. it doesnt do all the things the regular facebook app does and doesnt show photos yet but it DOES refresh so I wonder whats going on...
hmmm that weird.... maybe the fb app has gone the same way as the myspace app...... right down the plughole......
Same thing's happened to me. Anyone got a reason as to why? Or is it just related to the facebook crash?
I did a hard reset and installed FB first...Refresh works...after SPB backup (Restore)...didn´t Refresh...i guess it´s no FB and no Marketplace problem...
Here´s the solution...
Delete the "Facebook" and "FacebookInfo" files in the main dir of your mobile...start Facebook, login again...and it works...

only seems to work once.
then it's back to the 'no refresh' issue
Experiencing the same issue here, looking forward to a solution for this one.
Yeah I have not been able to get facebook to connect on my HD2 for a week now. I can still upload photos to facebook via the uploader, just cant update the app info... anyone know and app that works lol
....same here no updates possible since few days :-(
can anyone confirm if this advice is of any help?...
have you ever changed your facebook email address? check that the contact address in account settings matches your new email. i found that though i could login with my new email the old email address was still showing as contact address. i also reinstalled the facebook app so could also have been that which started it working again for me.
In my case I'm having problems logging in.
Regardless if I tick the "remember settings" square it keeps asking me to re-login with all of my credentials even after I hadn't shut off the phone... which didn't happen when I had the old Facebook Mobile version...

Hi, I'm the developer of the XDAFacebook app, and I can say that yes FB was down last week. The reason my app still worked was because the error that was breaking everyone had an easy work-around and I was able to release an update that worked.
I would say if you are not happy with the Microsoft app, please check mine out. It is still in early beta stages but will quickly become a full mobile client. Any feedback would be wonderful!
here is the link to the dev thread:

+1 same problem
I don't think we'll EVER see a fix. This app was developed by MS & not facebook, like on Android or Apple. So I think it's safe to say MS has abandoned it in favor of their WP7 facebook app.
I've been using joe coolish's xda facebook app. It works great, just doesn't have all the bells & whistles yet, but will.
Other than that I do use tweetdeck & the facebook app when I switch over to android, both of those are good, especially tweetdeck, you can update twitter, facebook, foursqaure & more all at once.
Hello everybody... i have a problem and i hope can help me,recently i remove applications with root manager and after that when i try to add a contact to my contact list of my phone dont let me add and sent me the message " process com.motorola has stopped unexpectedly" what can i do....
Did you remove any messaging apps?? And have you done a "Fix Permissions" via ROM Manager?
Why on earth would you remove apps?! Freeze instead!!
Check the second sticky in the General forum for answers on what to do next
How is that ?
Freeze with Titanium Backup....!!!

This post is not about freezing it's about the Error which I have noticed a lot of people are experiencing. Some say it's due to Google + App, I have NEVER downloaded this app and I'm experiencing this issue. Need fixes that Don't involve losing my contacts.

u revived a rllly old topic...
anyway, if u synced ur contacts with Google, there is no worry, since it backups them, so u can do those fixes and sync them back later...

I can't my contacts won't do anything. I did export them to my SD card tho, but still trying to find a fix with out the reset.
I'm also posting on Motorola Forums.
and a few other places I mean this issue seams to be a random one but still affecting a lot of people. be nice to find a fix.
Okay I got a post from another person who went thru the same issue. It seam when Hotmail wento Outllok.com it messed up something. Here is a copy of his post
"I may be on to something here. I recently installed the MS Outlook app. That's when my contacts stopped working. I uninstalled both my Hotmail and Outlook apparently and restarted the phone. The contacts still wouldn't work. For some reason, I decided to reinstall the new Outlook app. After I did that, I was able to access my contacts again!"
I did uninstall both my hotmail app and outlook.com app, Restarted (pulling battery) then it worked. I reinstalled Outlook.com and it still working. So that is how my issue got fixed. hope it helps others out.

Have to agree with Hotmail app being the problem. I have had FC problem for a while(around the same i was forced to start using the new outlook.com webmail). Uninstalling the Hotmail app fixed the issue(Also installed new Outlook app and still works). Thx!!!
I just updated my Sprint Evo 3d to ICS last night and before I learned that you can't see Facebook contact images in 3rd party apps without some tinkering I deleted my gmail and Facebook accounts from the phone thinking that would help. When I put my accounts back Facebook only automatically linked half of my contacts. I selected the option to sync with existing contacts. Is there any way to get it to automatically link the rest? I don't want to manually link 100+ contacts. Is there a way to manually trigger the linking? Also, I don't know if it matters, but before the ICS update I had Facebook and Facebook for sense on the phone. Now it is only Facebook.
The other 100 might now have a phone number linked to fb or the names are,diffrent or you don't have an email for them or some kind,of linking info I'm your phone but the fb app should allow you to resync the people in settings I think

All the names are identical so that isn't a problem and they linked perfectly fine when I first got the phone with gingerbread. When I first set up the phone periodically the phone would alert me to possible contact links every so often until they were all linked. It isn't doing that now.

Sitlet I think that is for a different issue. My problem isn't that 3rd party apps can't get the pictures (well that WAS my problem originally), it is that the link is not being established in the first place. I can fix the picture issue but I need the phone to prompt me about potential links between the contacts so I don't have to do it manually. The fix in that thread won't LINK my contacts right? It will just allow 3rd party apps to get the contact photos.
In case anyone cares, it took about 48 hours and last night I received the prompt suggesting I link contacts. I have no idea why it would take so long to trigger but all is well in the world now. Thanks to those who tried to help.

I bet it's facebook's problem. They've been having a lot of issues with the mobile app. Mine, along with many other people, has been logging out and having problems with sync lately.

Yeah for a few days it forced me to login every time. It wasn't just the mobile app though it was doing it to me on the regular web version as well.
Now that I have this all figured out it leads me to my next question. I used syncmypix to grab the high quality images from FB instead of the **** low rez ones that it imports itself and it synced it to my gmail account. However, the phone is set to default to the FB picture not the Google version. I can go into each contact and tell it to use the gmail photo but once again, I would rather not have to do that. Anyone know of a batch way of doing this?
i had to clear the data from "contacts" and "contacts data" to clear an error that kept popping up after i flashed the latest task aokp rom, coming from a previous 4.1 version of the rom.
but now i cant sync the contacts back into my phone from the google servers/gmail. ive been trying regular syncing and resyncing but im still not getting my contacts back. the contacts are on gmail but i cant get them back on my phone.
does anyone have any solutions to this? tried searching google and xda but im getting much luck. thanks

-Did you try deleting your Google account in accounts from your phone and then add it back? That might work. Since you checked online and your contacts are still on Google, it sounds like a sync-focused problem and not an account issue. Is your Google Calendar syncing? Also are other accounts syncing?
I once installed a rom (not Tasks) and the contacts did not show up until I reloaded gmail and sent myself an email. (I don't normally use Gmail, but did for that issue!)
Sorry, I don't have more recommendations!
Good Luck!

good job! However, I would be concerned that they may not sync or stay updated. . . You might still have a sync issue.
Does your calendar sync? Also gmail on the phone stays sync'd with the desktop /web versions? That's the issue!

Never had this problem on my v10 but my lg motion 4g from a few years ago had that happen all the time. There might still be an app called contact sync fix on gplay.. That's what I had to use way back when.

Maybe a coincidence, but I just happened to notice the same thing. I have two Google accounts attached, only one has contacts set to sync, and it's showing an error. Interesting thing is that is says 'Last successful sync 1/23/16' so it would seem that (at least for me) this has been going on for a while.
Post Script - Instead of trying to figure out why this was happening, I did the standard prescribed solution - disable contacts sync, clear contact data and cache, enable contacts sync; seems to be OK now.
