I recently switched from Perception 10.3 w/ Speedmod kernal to Andromeda 1.2 with the built in Ursa minor kernal.
I'm really liking this switch as my battery life seems to have improved significantly. But there are a few things I'm mssing that i've noticed. The big one is in the facebook app, i no longer have the option for push notifications or to sync contacts through the facebook app (i can still add a facebook account under settings, but this doesn't allow me to only add info to contacts already in my google contacts).
The facebook app installed is the latest (1.5.1). Is this an issue moving from froyo 2.2.1 to 2.2? or some other issue I haven't figured out yet?
Thanks!

Would it be possible on a rooted Milestone to run the Froyo version of Gmail? It's got a few nice enhancements like quick switching of Gmail accounts.
I'm using DarchDroid 2.7 and the official Twitter and Facebook apps with sync to contacts enabled. I've noticed that they just overwrite each other without rhyme or reason. For example, the pictures will change from the facebook one to the default twitter bird and more recent facebook status will be replaced by an older twitter update for some contacts.
Has anyone run into this before? if so, have you submitted a bug report to either developers?
On the stock Rogers 2.1.1 Android, I was able to install the official Facebook app, configure it and it would ask me if I wanted to synchronize my existing contacts (I would select to sync only those that were already on my phone) and everything worked rather peachy... it would auto link up my Facebook contacts with my Google/Phone contacts all by itself.
I just today upgraded to Android 2.2 (via Kies... (un)official Rogers ROM) and installed the Facebook app again and it never asked me to sync any contacts at all. I went to accounts and tried to add an account (specifically the Facebook app choice, since there is 2) and it does nothing.
I figured it was some slight incompatibility with the app, so I then tried the built-in Facebook account type with the phone - it works and syncs contacts, but it asks me to pick every single contact I want and on top of that, it doesn't seem to do a very good job of linking contacts at all.
I'm wondering, this experience I've had with 2.2, is this intended; is this the way it should be (ie, kinda crappy compared to my 2.1 experience)?
what do you mean by "so I then tried the built-in Facebook account type with the phone"? i am having problems also. i'm using the Cognition ROM which was ported from the Rogers 2.2 release, so i am sure we are in the same boat. everything i have tried hasnt worked.
So, I installed Cog 3.04, and I can't get my contacts to sync correctly. Looking at the Cog thread (which I can't post in because I'm <10 posts) it appears that there is something with LauncherPro that is keeping contacts from syncing correctly. It seems to also be blocking my calanders from syncing as well.
Additionally, the "join" function doesn't work at all. I use my cappy to maintain my contacts from 3 email accounts, facebook, twitter, and skype, and I had my list consolidated down to just 1 entry for each person with all of their info by using "join." All that stuff went away with the flash (I have been saving to google. Going to change that to save to the phone and backup to google), and now join doesn't work at all.
Anyone have any idea? I did add a different launcher to see if I could get around the LauncerPro issues, and I'm syncing now.
3.04 looks al ittle too buggy for me. They will improve it and make it stable. But for now, I installed Cog 2.3b6. It is more stable and I needed a rom that has bluetooth working correctly.

your launcher has nothing to do with how your contacts sync. you might be referring to some launcher widgets?
I assumed it had to do with the widgets too when I was reading the thread, but I don't use any of the LauncherPro specific widgets. Additionally, I installed the gingerbread launcher, disabled LP, and *bam* all my contacts showed up. It could be a coincidence with it taking 3 hours to sync, but that sounds wierd. I then switched back to LP, and they stayed, so that's all good now.
The join function is still borked, though it does look like all my contacts auto-joined together for the most part, so maybe it's just an new version of it and I just can't figure out how to make it work manually.

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.
