[Q] Facebook contact sync error (screenshot attached)

Note: It's working again! Looks like a server issue from Samsung which they might have fixed. See post #6.
I replaced my old phone for dead pixel. On the new phone, I restored contacts, and synced with Facebook (Social Hub), but I get the following error and FB contacts are not getting loaded -
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
I tried the following but didn't help -
1. Reset phone, sync with FB contacts before anything else - didn't help
2. Remove Samsung Mobile app from Facebook (from the browser in App management) - and remove mobile account at the same time. Reconnect mobile account. Didn't help.
The Facebook App's sync works though, and syncs with the contacts! Unfortunately the way it syncs is not compatible with third party apps like Viber or WhatsApp who try to read the phone numbers from contacts list.
I know this has been posted sometimes before, but that was 1 year ago with Froyo. Is there a solution to this?

Facebook Samsung Social Hub sync error
I also have the same problem with my Galaxy s2. My problem started with a session expired error. Now i get "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"View attachment 748549
I have the same problem after flashing KI8 firmware. It was working fine with 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. But I can sync messages.
Looks like it is a current problem that the servers are facing. I will report back when it works (if ) for me!
Same thing happening for me on my T-mobile GS2. Social Hub FB Calendar syncs OK but not Contacts nor Messages.
My regular FB account sync (that comes with the regular FB Android app) is syncing contacts just fine however.. So I can see my FB contacts from the Contacts/Phone app, but the Activies, History, and Media tabs (which I assume are fed via the Social Hub FB syncs) are empty.
The Social Hub service is back online on my SGSII. Everything is green. Samsung must have fixed their server issue.
Thanks, checked, it's working!

Thank you! I looked at your post and checked, it's working for me as well. It means now Viber and WhatsApp can analyze my address book again
I will post a comment in the original message.

[Q] Local phone android contacts with ICS?

Hi everyone,
I'm using CM9, but I tried different ICS roms and I encounter this problem with all of them.
- I'm trying to add a local phone (non gmail) contact to my phone, but it doesn't let me do that. When I add a new contact, a message box pops up saying, that: "Your new contact will be synchronized with <my gmail account>". How to add a local phone (not a SIM card) number?
- I have a backup of all my local phone numbers from GB made with MyPhoneExplorer, and restoring it works when I'm on ICS. The contacts are shown as local phone contacts (PCSC). However, after restarting the phone and waiting a few minutes, all the local contacts are completely gone. MyPhoneExplorer confirms that there are no contacts in the phone either. What's going on?
I really do not want to sync my contacts with google. Looking forward to hearing some answers!
Cheers!
I use CM9-alpha4 (i9001) and it works for me.
I did completely turn of "accounts and sync" and I also didn't flash gapps.
When I first created a new contact I was notified that it will be local and not synced. No problem there.
I'm using the CM9 9-20120614 version (the newest beta). I have Accounts and Sync on, since I want some stuff synced with my phone (facebook, linkedin, gmail calendar, etc.). And I experience the beforementioned problems...
I fiddled with the options but found nothing that would allow me to store my contacts locally and prevent the existing ones from being deleted
There is an issue in the Bugtracker:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26834
You could also use some other account that doesn't sync with Google. Funambol[0] would be my choice.

Thanks for that link.
However, I'm not sure, how is that cloud solution about to help storing my contacts locally without sharing it with any 3rd party?
You have to assiciate your contacts with some account. The funambol client creates such a "account provider" for you. But I just tried it and it seems like the client always wants you to sync with some server. You could set up your own server but that might not be what you want.
Sorry I can't really help. There is another thread about this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27747450
Alright, thanks a lot for your replies! Sigh, I guess I will just stick with google contacts for now -_-
here's my fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808037

Thanks! I will test it soon, although I have already moved my contacts to Google's cloud. Also, will this fix prevent me from synching google contacts? If so, it's more of a workaround than fix.
It breaks contact syncing deliberately. If you want to keep that while enabling local storage of contacts you need to edit the contacts.apk . I initially decompiled it and identified the line of code that enables or disables the local option.

[Q] Sync only one contacts list from Google account?

Hi,
First of all, JUST RECEIVED MY SIII
I'm messing around with it, and I can only say it's a BEAST!!
But the first little problame I cam across is the syncing of my contacts. I have a list in gmail of my phone contacts (so I don't have to have ALL my gmail contacts) but I can't find in android 4 how I can only select this list ... can someone help me?
Thanks!
Sam
I can't believe this is not possible ...
I think it depends on the dialer/contacts/people app combo. I know I could select which groups of contacts was shown in ICS on my HTC Desire (menu/accounts in the contact list), but I don't have the option on the contacts/people app currently in use in the BlackStar rom.

Contacts keeps merging

Hi,
Ever since I upgraded to 5.5.3, my contacts keeps merging wrongly.
All my contacts are stored on the gmail account.
The phone keeps merging contacts with different phones and different names.
Even after separating the contacts manually, they sometime return to be merged, with a different contact.
Anyone heard of this bug or know how to fix it?
Had the same problem on my Galaxy Fame, running on Android 4.1.2
Any solutions?

Unfortunately, no solution so far.

Export your correct list of contacts, then delete all your contacts from gmail and phone. make a manual sync of your account, possibly it will tell you that are to manny contacts deleted. log on your account from pc to check if there is no contacts! after that you can import the list exported earlier! or add them one by one in gmail , from a pc. after your can make a sync to see if will not mess up!
You can try first to download Contacts sync fix from playstore , maybe it will fix the problem!
