I have tried syncing my facebook contacts many times to no avail, the external facebook for android has no option to sync, and the built in facebook sync seems to sync but it does nothing where it worked before... I am using cognition 3.4. Any solution?
I think it's something with the new facebook app update. The same thing happened to me last night and I'm running Perception 8. But I got it to sync eventually.
I removed my facebook account from the accounts & sync menu, deleted the facebook app, reinstalled the app, and rebooted. Made sure my wifi was off and set up my sync settings and it worked like a charm. For some reason, it wouldn't sync with wifi running.
i had the exact same problem on Cog, i tried for 3 days. nothing. I flash Serendipity and they started to sync right away. It seems to be a common problem in Cog.

So I updated to Serendipity 6.3 last night because Facebook was acting weird, and after doing so, Facebook still can't sync at all.
Using the actual sync under "Accounts & Sync" Facebook, says "Sync Error" and "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Though, after re-flashing, still the same problem.
Now using Sync in the Facebook App, it says it "successfully synced" but yet, Half of my contacts are missing pictures.
Anyone have any ideas? I really need this, for both my calendar and Facebook Phone book.
the default facebook sync is better than the app sync.
i had the error message too. i think it wasnt liking some of the tibu settings restoring after flash.
remove both the accounts from setttings > accounts and sync.
then add it back. the default one is the rounder corners with lighter colors logo.

Are folks still having issues with this?
I have long since solved my contacts syncing issues with the integrated fb account, but I do have issues with the calendar sync.
I've tried to force syncs on calendar and it always fails, but a day or so later, it works. Is facebook calendar sync restricted to a 24-hour period?
I'm having the same issue...my facebook calendar had not successfully sync'd since June 6....
Contacts are fine, just no calendar. I've tried the same solutions a others in this thread, but still no positive results.
Anyone else found a new solution? Does anyone know what the root problem is?
Fyi - I'm running Cog 4.5.1 with no other issues.

Can a mod come close this thread please?
Thanks everyone
I was on Darky's 10.1 rom when this first started and just updated to 10.2 and it looks like the glitch is still there. Usually I leave autosync off to conserve battery life but now I've left it on so Gmail and my contacts stay synced with my Google account. The weird thing that started occurring is that each of my contacts get copied multiple times after autosync happens. So I get about 6 entries for each contact. What I've been doing is signing on to my Gmail account and then going to "action" and merging duplicate contacts and then manually syncing the contacts on my phone, which corrects the problem. However! When auto sync kicks in again, the same thing happens. Has anyone else came across this problem?
Hi, XDAers!
I updated my MM2 to Stock Android 2.3.6 and everything was working as well...
But I think I found a little bug in facebook (apk) contacts sync:
I just installed the app via Market and logged in, but for my surprise it doesn't show in Accounts > Other Accounts (as Twitter or even LinkeIn does) and sync is not working. (PS. not the Motoblur thing).
I tryed reinstall facebook app, reflash sbf, wipe data, restore factory defaults, santeria...
No success!
And there's no option in facebook app settings like in 2.2
Someone else can confir this bug, or is just me?
Well, yesterday I noticed the Facebook icon was shown in Accounts > Other Accounts, but when I clicked it, nothing happened... Thought it was a bug of Blur, so I took wipe data / factory reset and created a new Blur account.
Now, I noticed the icon is there and working (I've tested it)
Thank you for post it... I'll set up Facebook contacts from Facebook app instead from Blur (it has a lot of sync bugs)
--------------------------------------
EDIT: seems that there is no way to sync Facebook contacts using Facebook's own application. seems that the only function of the Facebook icon in Accounts > Other Accounts is just log into Facebook application. the only way to perform this task seems to be using the MOTOBlur.
Use Contact Sync For Facebook, is the best for me! If you talk about the same app sorry...
But there 2 apps Facebook Contact Sync and Contact Sync for Facebook, the second choice is best, but didn't have the options to sync automatically

Using CM7 and every so often Gmail mail sync gets unchecked. When I go back in to accounts and recheck it, it syncs successfully. Calendar and contacts never unchecks. Anyway to resolve this?
Thanks.

I have run into this form time to time also. Someone on the cm forums also reported this for the heroc. No confirmation if it's a heroc issues, cm7 issue or a gmail issue. The cause is thought to be some issue related to not being able to sync for a certain time, i.e. loss of signal, or possible airplane mode, and then gmail decides to stop trying to automatically sync.
I also have the issue with google+
I can confirm that I have exactly the same problem. I use a zte blade with CM 7.1 stable release. I use the gmail app.
Any solutions?
i have this issue too htc legend
Try updating your gmail apk or roll back one.

I'm running Nova HD Plus RC6-15 on my LG O2X.
I noticed that my calendar isn't syncing. It's completely empty on my LG O2X.
So I checked the account & sync status and it had syncing errors on the browser and calendar.
Removed the account. Added it again. Sync started but still no data in my calendar. Gmail is working just fine.
When I go to Calendars in the app and click on the button to choose which calendars to sync it crashes (calendar is stopped).
The thing that strikes me is that under synchronization settings there are several syncs running: Browser, Contacts, Documents etc. All doing fine. The one that isn't working is the Calendar but the name is off. It's called com.android.calendar sync whereas the others have proper names.
Is my calendar app corrupted or something? Is there a way to fix that?
The other thing I noticed is that the mobile version of my google Calendar is empty as well. When I switch to the desktop version I can see the data.
Bit of a weird problem so all help and ideas are appreciated!
Solved my own problem by checken loads of other calendar sync topics.
Found this one somewhere, and it works!
To everyone with sync problems (calendar). when installing CM9 you have to first flash the rom then gapps AND BEFORE YOU REBOOT WIPE DATA/FACTORY RESET. This will fix calendar sync.
