[Q] Facebook contact syncing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought this phone last week, and everything synced fine. But now I'm getting a facebook sync error just for contacts saying "it will be back shortly"...
Any way to fix this or may it be just server related?
Edit: ok, I've tried removing and re-adding the facebook account and nothing. But it works with another facebook account.
Edit2: I even tried reseting the phone via Privacy and still the same sync error... Ideas?

I get that when I'm on wifi. When I switch back to data I'm fine
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

I get it on 3G and WiFi
Thanks for answering though!

Orktu Sync Issue
Hi, everybody, my SGS has the same problem, but only related to the Orkut sync (Orkut is a social network from google, very popular in Brazil). I tried several ways to solve this problem, like wipe the phone and upgrade the rom with Odin (with re-partition e bootloader reinstall, using several roms, froyo and eclair) and nothing worked until I use a new orkut(google) account, and it worked, but now, suddenly (in fact, after I tried to root with z4root, but I instaled a new rom already, with re-partition) stops to sync, and the same message is displayed.
What am I suposed to do?

Phone not deleting emails from server

My phone has gone a bit weird recently.
It sends and receives email (via gmail) fine. But when i delete or archive mail from my inbox, nothing happens at the server end. Next time i log into gmail on gthe computer, all the mail i thought i had dealt with via my phone is still there, apparently not deleted/not archived and showing as unread.
I am running cyanogen 3.6.5
Quick update - i have flashed Cyanogenmod 4.0.4 and the problem is still persisting. This problem is happening whether im connected via my network or via wifi.
Any suggestions??
go to setting apps scroll to email and clear cache should help. samething helps with gmail
I notice that from day 1 with then my unrooted Magic (vodafone) , now rooted but email problem as mentioned in firstpost is still same. Even if you set it up as detele from server with no effect.
Just an update - problem has fixed itself, normal service has resumed.
I assume the problem may have been due to the Gmail outage recently, but my G1 is now working properly again.

[Q] Microsoft Exchange sync problem

After about 2hours of using my phone on wifi the exchange sync (built in mail application) doesn't sync anymore (internet itself keeps working). If I then disable en enable wifi, it works again.
I connect to exchange via https (outlook anywhere). Same goes for calendar.
btw, my GMAIL keeps working with no problem. It's just exchange that stops syncing
have you tried restarting the phone?
might be a service that got stuck
yep, doesn't fix it.
I'm gonna test TouchDown to see if it shows the same behaviour
Are you accessing Exchange via "Email for Exchange" or "Corporate"?
what do you mean?
I've made an account on my phone that connects to the 'webmail' of the exchange. Official name is Outlook Anywhere.
noob with similar issue
I'm a relative newbie to this forum so unsure of posting protocol, apologies in advance.
But whatever. I have the att version of the galaxy--the captivate--and have had a hard time getting exchange to work reliably. I've several times deleted and re-created my exchange account, and it will sync initially, and sometimes once or twice thereafter. But then, it ceases working competely, simply saying it has a "connection error".
This happens whether I'm on my company's wi-fi, home wi-fi, or just over the air 3G. the only fix is to recreate the account, and that's a pain.
I had an old winmo HTC fuze for a couple years, and it worked fine with this exchange server--I don't think I ever had to recreate the account, and it was thoroughly reliable. I also borrowed an old G1 for a couple weeks, used Roadsync, and it worked fine too.
I read in another forum that advanced task killer was the culprit, so I deinstalled it. No change. I also read that turning the synchronization on & off from the power widget was worth trying. Also no change.
Any other ideas? I too will try a 3rd party client before returning the phone. I mostly like the phone otherwise, though the GPS problem is annoying.
Appreciate any help.
Tried it with Touchdown: same issue. It tells me: No available network. However website continue to work...
When I click some links/visit some sites, it starts working again...

it sounds like the Wireless or 3G goes into sleep mode when you are not using it.
I have a similar problem, my calendar is able to sync but contacts unable to sync with exchange server.

[Q] Help - Gmail suddenly stopped working?!

Hi,
Gmail app suddenly stopped working today, while Gtalk is running just fine. I have to stress that all other app needing internet connection are functional, i.e. i/net connection is Ok. Email app is working too. I've tried rebooting, taking out battery, recreating gmail account, it just won't work. Gmail opens but it can't load any of the conversations. The only thing I haven't tried yet is factory reset. My SGS is running on Eclair, update-1, PDA:JM6. Any advice please?

Just solved it. Thanx anyway folks.

Account Sync Problems

This hasn't happened before when flashing numerous other roms.
Just last night, I decide to flash cog2.4
After flashing, I go to Accounts & Sync to add my google account, and it doesn't sync. Keeps giving me "Data connection is not reliable try wifi" message. So I connect via wifi and try again, but same thing - no go.
I flashed back to JF6, master clear + factory reset, and it syncs again. I decide to give it another try, and flashed cog2.4.1 this morning. Again when on the new rom, it doesn't let me sync. Data connection error keeps popping up.
No one in cog chat seems to have had this problem.
Anyone else experience this, and if you have, any solutions?
I don't want to be kept on JF6 so please help

[Q] google account not connecting

Hello! i have an experia z (obviously) and a long while ago i changed my password on my google account. A few days ago, i was doing something (i dont remember what) and it said that it cannot access my google account. so i went into settings and removed the account and tried to relog in. but now all im getting is a screen saying it cannot get a stable connection to the server and asks me to use wifi for more stability. Sadly, i was already using wifi so i still went through the guided setup to select my wifi and try again. still didnt work. so i turned off wifi and used my 4g and it still wouldn't let me log in. So now im trying to troubleshoot ways to log in because i have none of my contacts and stuff like that.
it still lets me log into the account in the browser window and in the gmail app and in the email account setting in account. just not in the guided setup for making it the primary account. (i tried to add it as email and sync to think "just maybe it will work" but it only syncs emails :X)
my device is rooted and using stock rom
Here are things I've tried to do (some are from suggestions online that aparently helped others):
Reboot phone
remove data/cache from google play store
uninstall updates for google play
unchecking auto time
checking auto time
making sure time is right
checked for software updates
restarted phone, took sims card out and tried logging in
tried to log in through youtube app (which goes through the says black screened log in guide)
turned on airplane mode, turned off phone, turned it back on, then tried wifi and data again.
and i think that is all i have tried. But it tried alot of things so im not sure. Once again. i can log into the account on my phone in other places just not in this black windowed log in guide and yes im typing in the right password and username... i can add pictures if needed.
Bump also tried factory reset and going to website and did the trouble shooting guide. Still nothing
Bump threw phone at wall and drowned it in tub. Still not doing it
Also I called customer service. And like I assumed, all he did was tell me to reset cache and data and restart device. Then asked if I could try to factory reset and then couldn't find any other solutions. So im stuck
