Hi. I am new here.
I have problem with sync contacts from Facebook on my smartfon with Android 4.4.4 (Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE). It was working about 1 or 2 weeks ago, now doesn't work. Android doesn't download even 1 contacts from Facebook to his address book.
I logged out from Facebook application, deleted account Facebook from account in address book. Then added Facebook account again, logged in in Facebook application. Switch on sync all contacts and setup contacts to show for google account and Facebook account. Sync was completed and nothing was downloaded.
I don't know how can I fix this up.
PS: Facebook application was reinstalled, doesn't help..
PS2: application such sync.me doesn't download any FB contacts , too.
Seems like it probably has something to do with their new API. Check out the info for another FB contact sync type app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync
Yes it is the api. After the change and the current tos from Facebook Google removed androids native sync options for Facebook.

You just need a 3rd party app to do it. Facebook is not really a big thing with alot of people I know so I really dont use it much and stopped syncing stuff from it when the TOS changed a while ago.
Test a few out in the play store. One of them is bound to work.

Dear all members,
Just to check whether how we can sync my outlook contacts and calendars with my Google account.
I have tried Google App Sync but I have encounter an error which need the Google app sync to be enabled in the email account..
Anyone know what I should do or any easy software to sync the contacts and calendars between Google and Outlook?
i think this was only turned on from 2.1 up then it was enhanced in 2.2
If you are planning on doing this only once a workaround is to export your Outlook contacts to a comma separated .csv file and upload this file to Google contacts. Works very nice, but I understand you might need to do it a smoother way if you need to sync Outlook and Google often.

Hi,
Yes, I will prefer that there will be a software which will continously sync the contacts in my Outlook with Google and that is why Google App Sync caught my mind.
But I know that I can only use it if my Google account is the premier and not the normal type.
Anyone know whether there is other software which can do the task?

Try turning Outlook off then on again?
I have noticed when ever I start Outlook now I get a popup asking about which "profile" (i think is the word used) to enable; google sync or outlook?
Syncing between X10i and Outlook (business phone is foked without this ability imo) is the main reason I am travelling along the rooting road at the moment... not started the search for the software yet.
Have installed google sync but not used yet as I am uncomfortable storing 20+ years worth of valuable networking details in that giants hands
Good luck

Thanks. I managed to find 3rd party software called Companion link but required to purchase in order to use. If the software is good, I dun mind paying for it.
Guys,
I have managed to try out the CompanionLink software whereby you can synchronize the outlook contacts and calendars with your Google account, it work perfectly so with this software, there is no hassle either you do update on your phone or PC using Outlook.
check it out if you are interested :
http://www.companionlink.com/
However, you can try it for 15 days and if you like it, you will have to purchase the license which I will be intending to purchase this software.

Guys, I just turned on my X10 first time.
When I go to Calendar app it asks me to login to Google account.
That may be strange question for users here, but - do I HAVE to login to Google
to use Calendar on X10?!
i'm using MyPhoneEx and it works well and it is free
I also use MyPhoneExplorer

?! I was asking about Calendar application...
Yeap. I use MyPhoneEx to sync outlook contact/Calendar directly into my X10. If I want to sync contact/calendar with Google, I just goto Setting ->Accounts & Sync and press sync contacts (or Calendar).
That's why your X10 asked you to log-in to google when you turned it on. If you've not log-in to Google, the calendar in X10 is still working fine but you cannot sync it with google contact (or calendar).
Hi i got streakDroid 2.0.0 and when i go to contacts and then Account Settings, I
add my Google Account...works fine,
then I add my Twitter Account .... works fine.
Then i want to add my facebook Account, giving it my login data it works fine, the facebook apps open and i can use it like the way befor. But then the Facebook account is not in the List of the account. And in continue there are no Facebook contacts in my Contacts List. And this is sucks
When I go to Account Settings again and click "add facebook" it loads 1 second and bring me back to Account Screenm but again without the FB Account.
Can someone help me here?
I think this is more to do with a disagreement between Google and Facebook about contact sharing than a problem with the ROM. I think Google took integration out of the ROM for 2.3.3

Can anyone confirm if this is true!?
If this is true this is not nice. That was one of my Favorite Contacts Features...
Hi, I have a problem that has been puzzling me for some weeks now. Here is the situation:
I have a Galaxy S, running a custom ROM on 2.3.3. I have my Google and Facebook accounts and my Android calendar shows events from both Google (events I entered, contact birthdays, etc) and Facebook (FB events and birthdays). The Facebook account is the integrated one (the one listed in the top, with Twitter and Myspace).
So I bought my wife a Galaxy Ace. It has a stock ROM from our local Braziloan carrier (Claro). When we bought it, it was running 2.2.1 but Kies just updated it to 2.3.4 this weekend. In the Ace, my wife also has a Google and a Facebook account (the integrated one as well) but with a difference: her calendar shows all Google events but for Facebook it shows only the events, not the birthdays!
I hoped the upgrade to 2.3.4 would solve it but nothing... I already checked and the Facebook contacts do have birthdays (when viewed from the contacts app).
I tried peeking at the "calendar.db" as suggested here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1100191) but could not find anything wrong in there.
I also searched for "calendar", "facebook", etc here in XDA but no help sp far...
Any clues???
Did you reinstall Facebook ?

Try to sync? In the settings in facebook.
its a common problem i think...
when i sync my contacts with fb, the birthdays are showing in the agenda but there is no way to display those birthdays in the calendar...
what i did is export your facebook birthday calendar and import it in google calendar (web), then you can go into calendar app and sync that calendar.
Thanks for you replies. Here are my comments:

Actually, I did... I even wiped it all and re-installed everything. Did not work either... But please notice that the Facebook app itself is not the case here. Why? The Facebook app uses a non-integrated Facebook account and I'm using the integrated account.

Yes. I configured it to sync contacts and calendar... And I synced hundreds of times, just to make sure.

This is a workaround, indeed. But I don't want to to this way because it is not automatic: each way a new friend is added in Facebook, I'd have to re-export the FB calendar to Google.
Here is some additional info. I did some more peeking in the databases (the .db files) and found out that the birthdays are not being loaded in the "events" table from the "calendar.db" file (not sure about the exact names, I don't have the phone at hand now...). If I look at this database in my Galaxy S (where it works), I see all Facebook birthdays and events in this "events" table. In the Ace, only the Facebook events were there...
Now it looks like the problem might be in the syncing itself, not in the actual Calendar app (which only display what is in the database).
I had this weird idea: since everything works in my Galaxy S (I even did a real-case test: I wiped my Galaxy S, configured my wife's Gmail and Facebook accounts and it worked perfectly), would it make sense to copy the .apk's from my phone to the Ace? If true, which .apk's could it be?
It doesn't work for me too. Actually, facebook only has the option of syncing contacts. Do I have to have a google account tied to facebook for facebook events to be synced to calendar?
Can not sync Facebook account. If you go to settings\ Account and Sync, you can't add facebook account. The screen flashes and nothing happens. I tried to reinstall facebook app a few time. Doesn't work. This make games and apps that have facebook login feature stop working because you can't login. Anyone know of a remedy?
Same thing is happening with skype ..... any help

Is that an app or a root tool or etc? Description and a link would be helpful. Appreciate the suggestion though thanks!
It seems to me strange that I can not believe it ... (and hope I am wrong).
I tried to set up my google apps account as an account of the GS3 activesync email application.
simple options that are usually on the other device (username, domain, password, service ect) here are different ... mahh ... in the "Domain \ user name" ... I tried all combinations: domain.xx \ name \[email protected] with the bar, no bar, with 2 points, commas, capital letters etc etc. ...
The exchange server is the same m.google.com and works on all phones in the world except this one ...
the result always is:"can not connect to server"
If you have suggestions, perhaps borrowed from GS2, are available to test

Why are you doing that?
Setting -> Accounts and Sync -> goggle
Enter in your email and password
I have my Google Apps account on it now using that, has push email/cal etc
yes in gmail app... no in e-mail app
yes, it works in gmail app. What does not work is a google apps account (exchange activesync) in the touchwiz e-mail app
Is not a solution but I tried with k-9 mail and it work ... But I would like to use the samsung e-mail application
I use google mail exchange with the Samsung email app with no issues. Pushes email.
Is that what you are trying? In Samsung email settings, add new account. Enter google email and password, then select manual setup, hit exchange etc

Certainly, gmail works.
What is not working is "Google apps" account (accounts that use google servers www.google.com/a)
It does work. Go to settings, accounts and sync and setup Google there but don't sync gmail . Untick this option. I have reader, finance, and about 6 other Google services all syncing

does it work? exchange with the Samsung email app and GOOGLE APPS account? how can email work if I untick this option?
With the Samsung email app I have gmail setup as exchange. Within the system accounts Google is setup. Goto the gmail app and setup your email. This initially doubles up as your email its setup with the Samsung email account too . Now go to system settings, accounts and sync and within Google untick mail. Try it then key me know it is working. If you can't get it to work you are doing something wrong .

I do not think we understand, it may be my bad English ... However, the problem is not Gmail in exchange on the Samsung email app (it does work fine); the problem is a GOOGLE APPS account (it's a account that have [email protected] and domain.xx is different to gmail.com).
"google apps" account is different from gmail account. the first in exchange with Samsung email app work, the second with Samsung email app work only in IMAP (without push)... i want it in push, as on xperia s, one s etc...
I paste my Google apps settings that do not work
Address: [email protected]
password: mypassword
manual configuration
Domain \ user name: \[email protected] (but I tried it without the bar, with bar, with mydomain.xx\myname etc ... I think I have done all the tests imaginable)
Password: mypassword
Server: m.google.com
SSL: yes
Certificates: yes (but I tried with no)
Doesn't work for my google apps account either. Looks like a bug to me.

it's the same bug of GS2 with ICS..
you cannot connect anymore to a Google Apps account using ActiveSync (Exchange)
the only method is to remove Samsung Email apps, and push Email AOSP..
hope Samsung will fix it asap, because HTC One X works like a charm with ActiveSync and Google Apps
Does anyone know of any fixes at the moment, or sometime soon?
there is no fix untill samsung update...
now work
With the new update ALF5 now the situation seems solved ... I intend to test it better, but now it synchronizes and mail arrive.
You will not believe this
I have been searching and searching and finally found a solution.
Its **** simple.
Carefully follow the directions found here and use the gmail app to add a new account. It worked for me! I played around with every imaginable setting in the mail app and had no success.
I cannot post links... samsung.com/us/support/supportOwnersHowToGuidePopup.do?howto_guide_seq=5790
If you go through the mail app they limit you to only gmail addresses, this is not the case if you go through the gmail app and add a google apps account
My next question is how to view all emails in one box in the gmail app...

How can i update to ALF5? I'm currently on ALE8 and when I go to Software Update, it says there is no update available. Do I have to use Kies or something? Is it only available in some parts of the world? Thanks.
I was also looking for a solution and now Samsung has done her "homework".
Now with Firmware:
GT-I9300 - Open Germany
PDA: I9300XXALF6
CSC: I9300DBTALF4
Version: 4.0.4
Date: 2012-06-27
it works like a charme
So now is all OK and i hope Samsung bring the same solution on the Galaxy S2.

@TaLEntZ96
you can flash any firmeware with the tool "Odin",
use the Forum or Google and you will find a solution.
I am also unable to get my google apps account to sync with the samsung email app via activesync. Any suggestions would be great!
