[Q] Can't connect to facebook - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I try to connect to facebook via the integrated fb client (for contacts and calendar sync) I receive a message that says to try again, but if I try again happens the same. Any idea how to have working fb client again ? I'm on Ficeto's JVP base rom.

Hi, i had the same last night, but this morning it worked again
I removed all accounts last night and added them this morning.
Also tried to remove apps etc. Some say cleaning cache will help (via recovery).

Same problem here, seems resolved now, had quite heavy battery drain that was possibly linked too (had auto sync on )

Facebook may not recognize JVP 2.3.4 ...I had the same problem on CM7 ...

I've been told that Ficeto and Darky removed the sns account from some system folder and that's why it's not working.

I have been trying to add my facebook account via settings > accounts > add account > integrated but it keeps saying Try later.
It adds fine through the facebook application but I need to add it in this way in order for the messaging app to show the contacts pictures from facebook.

Facebook contacts

Just wondering if anyone has a problem with the Facebook contact pictures not loading and if anyone knows a fix. Thanks in advance.

It depends on the ROM, some AOSP built ROMs have a bug which causes problems with FB syncing. Have you made sure that syncing with existing/all contacts is selected in the FB app settings?
I am on cm6 final it was just working like the other day then I accidentally clear the data in contacts and now its gone and doesn't load back? Yes syncying is enabled.

As it got tiring to relink my gmail contacts to fb just to have their contact photos after a wipe (rom flashing addiction)...especially with some asop builds having sync problems with the fb app..i've given up using that approach. Instead, i use Syncmypix. It syncs ur fb pics to ur gmail contacts uploading the pics to gmail. Hence, the next time u download ur gmail contacts after a wipe, you pull down their pics as well
Thanks works great

Facebook contacts not showing..

I have created Facebook account and it's working in socialhub but I couldn't get the contacts to sync with device. In GB there will be an option to check whether do or do not sync contacts. But I couldn't find it in ICS. How to solve this?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
go to your contacts and hit settings. then accounts. Then check off the "sync" icon next to facebook
^^ Copy That.
Else you can do one more thing. Reinstall the FB app. Once I got stuck in somewhat similar thing like that.
I found that my facebook application which was restored by titanium backup didn't actually sync well with contacts. so had to reinstall.
I checked it and its in green color. When I go further it shows only messages and calendar. It didn't show up contacts. Any idea?

I'm talking about inbuilt social hub which lets the contacts to sync with Facebook account.. Can I re install that?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Why don't you use the fb app which is AVAILABLE in market. It also syncs in the same way.
Sure it will work.. But I don't wanna pile up with apps. Social hub has to do this job and I wanted to do it. Actually when I was GB I'll remove all social hub related apps (twitter account, linked account, even default mail app) except Facebook account, still it was syncing contacts flawlessly. Now I wanted the same. Does ICS doesn't have that capability??

Should I remove all Facebook items from ICS and install third party apps from market?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Well I think you should wait for some more time till a solution comes out. I had the same problem with SocialHub. I chose over FB Market App since I didnt have time & wanted to get my contacts asap back. :/ Still will send you any info which might be helpful on this topic
Thanks.. Just now Google it... It seems there is a bug in ICS that stops sync contacts particularly in contactsprovider.apk. We need to add some .xml file it seems. Which is too tech for me so m gonna search some other option for this.

Doubled/triples calendar items and contacts

Since I updated to the official 4.0.4 I constantly get contacts and calendar items duplicated. Do you guys have this? Is there a possibility to wipe just the calendar and contacts and resync? Just taking the tickboxes out and putting them back.in the account settings doesn't cut it.

may be the contacts are in your sim too.
Hi
You're not using multiple computers to sync by any chance? Further, if the information comes from Exchange Server, don't bother as you will never get it straight. I've tried everything to sync with Outlook and gave up, MS and Android just don't match

I found a solution. First export exchange contacts to your ext usb and then open outlook and delete exchange contacts. When you delete from your pc your phone contacts will be deleted. Finally import the contacts from your ext usb and sync with your exchange. 2 days left nomore dublicated contacts.

I found a solution. Just flashed Crash ROM v8 based on LRK and problem solved no more duplicate contacts nor calendar items. I am happy again! 4 days now and everything is perfect
Check this thread for solution. Apparently an update to gmail app solves it!

Gmail problem

Hello everyone,
I have a big problem. My gmail app doesnt work correctly anymore. I pre-installed it some times but it doesnt fix the problem. I used 2 or 3 apks but all of them have the almost same version. As i said it did work but not anymore.
Using rom: stocklite 7.1
Gmail version: 2.3.5.2
Problem: if im getting a mail it doesnt show me that. It only says no conversation or something like that. The only way im sometimes able to check up the email is the point in the settings important mails.

Thread moved to Q & A section, post I'm the relevant section next time.
Hmmm. Do have priority inbox set up? Have you checked Gmail is set to sync (in settings > accounts and sync > tap on Google account and set Gmail to auto sync)? If you are going to try uninstall it in order to reinstall don't forget to wipe the app data. Try a different app like k9 and if the problem persists you can be sure the problem is with your account and not the Gmail app itself. I hope this helps as I'm not exactly certain I completely understand the problem. Sorry
