Hello.
Since this morning I started to experience a strange issue. It seems like my gmail is synced only one way.
I have Nexus 5 running Cyanogenmod 11 M3, Android 4.4.2.
If there is a new email sent to my gmail account, I get proper notification and I see the mail. I then go and delete that email (or mark it as read). My inbox does not have this email anymore. I refresh the mail, make sure everything is synced. Now if I open web gui of gmail on my computer, I still see that email there unread. If I go back to phone gmail, I don't see that email in my Inbox (or sometimes I do), but I can see it in priority mail box or under "all mail". It seems that whatever change I do on phone client is not properly synced back to server.
The same issue manifests also on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, running CM 10.2. It does not happen on my very old HTC Desire Z, running CM4.
I have not changed anything, it started to happen this morning. Any change done through computer web client is synced correctly. I have no idea what is going on. Does Gmail service have some issue? Anyone else experiencing it?
Thanks.
I think the first thing to clarify is whether or not you're using the native GMail app or have set up GMail through and alternative e-mail app (i.e.: Enhanced E-mail).

Sorry, I am using native app.
It seems that I also can not send any mail. It gets stuck in outbox, saying "Sending", but it is never sent.

The camera issue is among known problems with CM11 and since CM11 stable was not released yet, it is ok. I am sure that stable version will have this problem resolved.
Clear data for gmail. Settings > Apps > Gmail. You will not lose any settings, it will just delete your email from the phone and re-sync.

Thanks for the suggestion, the issue resolved itself today on both phones. I guess there was some problem on Google side.

Okey so I have a new atrix I got 5 days ago from the warranty center. Its running the gingerbread 2.3.4. My problem here is that my facebook doesnt sync into my contacts ( I only see contacts from other accounts ) It also doesnt sync with my gallery ( when I go to my gallery homepage its suppose to show the pics uploaded by my friends on facebook ) I have tried turning the device on and off / Removing the battery / Resetting my phone to factory setting (X4) / Making a new MotoBlur account / Also took the phone back to the warranty center and I tried it on a new phone and still no results. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

As far as I know, Google disabled the syncing of Facebook pics to contacts because their tiff about private data.

Right I read the same thing. I also heard that Google told fb they would have to write the code (for pic syncing) into their own app just like everyone else has to do. No more free ride for facebook now that Google has a competitor. Hopefully fb does add the feature into their app in the future.
hi everyone!
dont know if u notice.... the option for facebook contacts sync in the social hub was removed in the new Ics Rom the problem with this is that all the contacts pics are now small resolution.. so there pixalated as.. f....k
anyone knows a solution for this??
Me saw that too... and so has the inherest ability to sync fb birthdays to tw calendar also gone... Any workarounds anyone??
Yes, HaxSync paid app and works better syncs higher quality photos, events and birthdays. Worth the pennies it costs from play store.

Also noticed that it's missing, however a review on GSM arena seems to suggest it should be there?
One important change is the new Contacts app. It integrates with your SNS services and gives you a second tab for each contact's details with their photo and info grabbed from social networks.
You get to this tab by swiping sideways - a bit like you would in Windows Phone (Android has really grown into the sideways swipe thing too).

Any more? is that SURE? and... Why? Do you have any source, please?
I dont understand why Calendar and messages can be sync but contacts cant....
Is it permanent for ICS roms that are to come?
Thanks
I actually created a new thread for this not knowing that it has been asked...
Yes, I also noticed the GSMarena review and so I thought that I had a bad update. I tried to restore to factory setting and reflash the firmware update but still nada.
My current conclusion is perhaps for somewhat reason some firmware versions have the SNS contact integration and some don't...
Mine is XLP7. Would others kindly share their firmware version and situation on the SNS contact integration?

Not possible with ICS.
You can try friendcaster(free) and HaxSync (paid).

I am using ICS DXLP7. If you just upgrade from Ginger to ICS without doing data wipe or factory reset, calendar and messages were fine but Official Samsung ICS ROM (upgraded using KIES) doesn't have Facebook Contacts sync anymore.
However, if you did do the factory reset after installing ICS on you Galaxy S2 ... poor you, you will not be able to sync any of the three (Facebook contacts, messages, and calender). Must use third party app.
yeah at the end the solution is an app from the market.. theres 2 that works well but they dont sync phone numbers tho

Hello!
I just changed to a new Galaxy S3 last weekend and there's still an issue that I have not been able to solve. When I go to the contacts app, contacts appear linked to their Facebook profile, but I cannot see their picture. In the synchronization options my Facebook account seems to be well added and the "Sync contacts" option is ticked. I just want every contact to appear with their FB picture the same way it used to happen in my already retired HTC Desire.
Any help with this?
Thank you very much!
i couldn't get this to work with the facebook app (which was the only reason i downloaded it) so instead i tried an app called "syncmypix" which did the pictures > contacts sync perfectly

CONTACT SYNC into the PLAYSTORE is for FREE and you can chose huge picture size!
Is there no way to get FB contact phone numbers (if they're on there) without using the official FB app (which doesn't seem to work)?
Try to delete the facebook sync and re-do it. Not sure if that will help.
Longshot: Delete the facebook app cache.
Thank you all for your replies. Most of them are the things a "more or less experienced user" would have done and, because of this, I had already tried them...
Using either "Haxsync" or "Contact Sync" there are still some contacts that I don't get well synchronized...
I have also tried to edit some contacts manually via my Gmail account adding the HTC Data type information that is supposed to link contacts with Facebook (lines lika <HTCData><Facebook>id:XXXXXXXXXX/friendof:YYYYYYYY</Facebook></HTCData>) but not even this way I've had success...
It's unbelievable how such a simple thing can bring so much trouble...
Ok, here's what I did to finally solve it.
With Haxsync, synchronize automatically the contacts the app recognised itself.
With Haxsync, synchronize all my other Facebook contacts. There's an option to do that, you have to select all your contacts from a list, one by one.
Link manually these contacts synchronized in previous step.
With Haxsync again, assign each contact it's HTC Facebook ID.
Now, with Contact Sync, do a synchronization with the "Sync by HTC Facebook ID" option ticked.
Done!
If you have a tidy list of contacts in Gmail, every one of them with its HTC Facebook ID, there's no way it can go wrong!
I use Facebook Contact Sync - might be better or worse than Haxsync, not sure - but it's free. It works but you have to do some manual labor to set it up. It could use some more features and support from the dev but at least it does the job...unlike the Facebook app...which is a total disappointment with syncing.

I've spoken with some devs about this and it's not possible because Facebook only allows addons to see/pull certain pieces of information. Birthdays, for example, can be set to private by FB users and so addons cannot pull that data - some people have it public so it works sometimes. I believe phone numbers are just completely off limits.
This works in Wifi connection only using the official facebook app.. It will not immediately load all the images specially if you have lots of friends but it will load it all.. If not try to clear your facebook app cache and data...
Using only mobile connection facebook is a failure, all the problems will start if you are in mobile connection :cyclops:

I have always tried the sync process with Wifi connection and the official FB app won't sync a single picture... It links most of the contacts and makes them appear with the FB logo, but it does not load the picture...

Wifi connection works for me... try clearing the data and cache of facebook or better reinstall the application then try to sync again using a wifi connection (make sure you clear the cache and data before uninstalling the app).. You may need to still wait for a while if you have lots of friend.
I'm only having problem if I use Mobile connection...
An additional question: do you know if we can make the contacts be shown with their Facebook name? This was possible with HTC Sense...
Im using the official Facebook for Android app and I have contact photos, phone numbers etc everything synching fine. And thats even with moving the data from one device to another.

What do u mean by manual labor?!... I am used to use this application on my HTC Desire and it was working fine but now it doesn't work... I face a problem after linking all the contacts that I can't make any calls or receive ... What type of configurations have you done ?! ...
Btw I tried this application on two different galaxy S3 device and I faced the same problem.

I am using friendcaster pro, but the normal version should work fine as wel: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...fyFree&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd
I have no issues and the best thing about that app are:
more function than original app
NO transferring of your SMS (unlike the original version from facebook, which does that)
nice UI
Make sure that contacts sync setting from facebook is enabled than try to logout from facebook app and log back on... It worked for me and now I have all my contacts pictures!
all the other applications doesnt sync numbers or emails from facebook only pictures !. can somebody tell me if there is a solution ? i tried all the posted solutions but non of them is working !
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!

Hey there. I just installed CM11 onto my Note 2 yesterday and it works amazingly. However, even though my email for my work is syncing across (we use Office 365), my calendar does not, and this hasn't been an issue before. I've tried clearing the Calendar app cache and data, rebooting, removing and adding my account, turning calendar syn on and off, but yet the only calendar that the calendar app sees is my gmail one.
Has anyone had this before? I kind of need my work calendar to come through....
Thanks!
Also, just noticed that MMS also doesn't work. Any tips or tricks there? I mainly use Handcent, but the default Messaging app doesn't work either.
I've solved my issues through Googlefu. My fixes can be found on post 4

Menu button, calendars to sync and calendars to display make sure your work calendar account is in there. As far as MMS it's working for me. Maybe an issue in your area? Does it work with other roms for you?

The only "calendar to sync" that shows up is my gmail. Nothing else. Removing and re-adding my account doesn't make it show up either.
However, I initially flashed this via TWRP and re-flashed through PhilZ 6.48 and now my work calendar is in there. Still no love for MMS though. I've heard something something APN edits from the /etc/ folder? I don't know specifically what needs to be changed though.
MMS worked fine on AllianceROM build 25 and 26, as did calendars and GPS.
Also, for more information, here are my device settings:
Baseband: I605VRUFND7
Android version: 4.4.4
CyanogenMod version:11-20140912-NIGHTLY-i605
Kernel version: 3.0.64-CM-g526d694
[email protected] #1
Build number: cm_i605-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q 1b9a28f2a1 test-keys
SELinux status: Enforcing
*Sigh*. The issues continue. I was able to finally play with some APN settings and get both LTE and MMS to work, but once again my calendar isn't syncing/showing up in Calendar.
WHY ME!
Here's the fix that works for me to send MMS now
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2754568
Alllright, chugging right along. According to this thread, the built-in Exchange sync sucks, and they recommend downloading NINE email application and what do you know, it actually works.
MMS is sending!
Calendar is syncing!
.... What's next?
