Running Froyo 2.2.
So basically for the last 2 months, facebook contact sync has had the same annoying error.
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
But the sync picture with the red/white exclamation mark is only by the Contacts. Maybe once every 100 syncs work.
I've tried removing the account and then re-adding it (and still get the same problem). I do have the Official Facebook app installed, along with using LauncherPro.
Any ideas? Also, when I sync Google, it works.
Thanks!
Tony.
I get the same error, but for some reason, all my contacts get added to the contact app.

Are you running Froyo (with a root)?
I had a rom a few months ago that would not sync my Facebook contacts at all. Did it have this syncing problem when you first put your Froyo rom on or did it start later?
It happened after. I think it had to happen after, because I had to do a hard reset to install Froyo, and it was syncing well for a few months (or weeks).
It could be one of many problems then. Do you have any other problems besides facebook sync? Market or anything else?

I'm using the one released on here, considering I'm in the US and it hasn't officially been released yet

I'd suggest a different rom then.

I can get Facebook contacts loaded into the Contacts on the Captivate, but then I have to join them one by one and the pictures get compressed.

is there a way to backup my manually joined contacts because most of my friends are in Puerto Rico and most of them use two last names like almost everybody in Puerto Rico and the point is that i do not save my contact with both last names in my outlook or gmail account and every time i flash a new ROM i have to manually edit almost all my contact and link them to their facebook accounts. is there an easy way to do it? i'm willing to pay for any app that does this thanks in advance.
i do have titanium backup but i really don't know if it's able to do that
Have you tried exporting to the sd card through the contact app?
Have you tried this method? Does it works for you?

I have, it works, another option is to sync your contacts with Google.

Sorry I guess you're right and I didn't realize that's your issue. I manually link them with FB.

For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

Anyone else have this issue? Starting this afternoon my Facebook app launches the browser version of Facebook. It starts the app and acts like its going to load feeds and then opens the browser.

Opened Facebook app and noticed it's redirecting to m.facebook.com. Maybe something's wrong with the interface servicing the app....

There's a Themes & Apps subforum for these kids of issues. Please use it.
Yep, same issue for me, starting today. If you read the market reviews, there's dozens of similar complaints, all dated today.

Ditto for me. Uninstalled and re-installed fixed it. Hope it stays that way.
I have that same problem. I am running on a stock rom 2.2 from kies update. I am rooted but have not flashed a custom rom yet. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a total of 3 times and still have the problem and yes I did do a reboot after I uninstalled before I reinstalled. Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I think we just need to wait for them to fix the app, sadly. It doesn't seem to be any issue with the phones or corrupted data - it's something in the app itself. With all the people complaining on the market, I'm betting they'll post an update shortly.
I was checking something with this app before I put my phone down for the evening. When I woke up my battery was dead. Check out the pictures, stay awake 7 hours and it was the biggest drain on my battery.
I'll try the uninstall and reinstall to see if it's any different. Cognition 5 beta 2
Use FriendCaster (Pro) and you won't have any more problems.

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix it. When I try to open up contacts it will send me back to the home screen and says "aab initializing" Never seen this before in any android so I'm kinda lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind got it. It was caused by freezing the att apps.

Which AT&T app did you need to unfreeze to get contacts to work again?
I'm betting it was contact sync. I used to close that service all the time cause I didn't care if my contacts were being backed up by ATT. Turns out it was controlling my entire contact app.
Yeah it was the contact sync, if I remember correctly. Been so long since I was on the stock rom can't say for sure.

hello to every one.i am using X-Bean 3.0 and the only thing that i want to know is if there is a possible way to sync my facebook contacts with the phone contacts.like you can do with the stock rom.i am new to samsung phones (i used to have HTC) so if anybody can help me that would be great.
thank you all!:cyclops:
The option is not available since ICS. You can use Contact Picture Sync, it's an awesome app, but it syncs pictures only (no status updates or a link to your friends' profile). However, it's the only app I've encountered that syncs high resolution pictures.
