cannot sync my facebook, twitter to my contact

I added my facebook and twitter account in settings->account and sync
and processed an synchronization in success (the sync icon is in green color)
In Contact, display option , I uncheck "only contacts with phones",
but my facebook and twitter contacts don't show up in my Contact , so I cannot link up with my phone contacts.

try this for Facebook
Go to Contact -> Submenu -> Get Friends -> (you should see your facebook account here, else add yours), tap on the account and select your friends.
PS: if this is your time time doing it, the application may ask you if you want to sync selected or all contact to your phone.
Let me know if this help.
PPS: if this works for your FB, you can use it for Twitter.

If this is working fine, you should see your FB friend's birthday on your calendar too. Enjoy

this also would put their picture in contact or how can i associate facebook profile picture with contact in phone?

use link contact

there are contacts from facebook, but no picture, so I was thinking that there is a setting that takes little info, or takes birthdays, tel. numbers, pictures.

in my case, picture, birthday, email, tel are all available in my FB contact.
Is it possible your friend didn't upload photo in their FB?

I have a similar problem.
If I go Contacts>SubMenus>Get Friends I cannot choose Facebook. My Facebook choice is greyed out so if I click it, nothing happens! Any idea?

I found that its much easier to use the Facebook and twitter from the Market than the Sync's on the phone.
Just download both Twitter and Facebook from the Market and then sync those in Accounts&Sync.
Simply don't use the default ones on the Galaxy

another FB sync under "More accounts" comes with Facebook for Android, remove that

Oh that one, yeh... I used the intigrated thing. No good :/

Anybody else notice their mytouch 4g constantly syncing?

Not sure why but my phone ever since I permanent rooted it has been stuck on sync unless I turn off background data. Anybody else have this problem?
Just for more detail I did remove some blaotware from my phone. I removed the peep app, friebdstream, all demo games and some themes.

The only one that keeps syncing for me is the facebook account. I set it to synching once a day but it still syncs every time I reboot the phone. Happened to me before rooting too, don't think that's the problem.

hey guys - I'm also having this problem. Have you found a fix for it at all? My Facebook is the one constantly syncing as well. I usually just go in and hit "cancel sync" under Accounts.

I'm insane when it comes to what's running on my phone, what's syncing, etc. So if anyone was going to see "constant syncing" when it isn't supposed to be, it would be me.
What is your sync interval set to?

I don't need Facebook updates that often and I really only use the sync to have Facebook contact info (for contact pics/avatars). I keep mine at 8 hours and I haven't noticed it "syncing all the time."
Do you have any "splats" on your Accounts & Sync? You know, like when it's unable to sync and says, "Unable to sync since xx/xx/xxxx"?
I would check for any red indicators that are trying to let you know sync is unavailable. That should only be a temporary issue, if it's happening, but there are times when Google or Facebook can't and won't sync and deleting the cache/app data usually clears things up.

Hey guys I am having the same problem. I already unchcked all data and automatic sync... For some reason it continues to sync. I went into every single one of my accounts and nothing shows that it is syncing. Even unchecking every box doesnt help. It still syncs.
Thoughts?

Can you post a screen shot of your Accounts & Sync screen showing that each account is still syncing, even though you have either Auto-sync un-checked...
Or any of the sync options un-checked...

My schedule is set to once a day. Once it starts syncing, it never finishes. I don't have any issues with it saying it can't sync though. I also noticed it tends to kick off Google's contact sync. The weird thing is the google one just shows the sync icon, but it isn't spinning. What does that mean?

Well.. I would rather try taking a vifeo for you. It doesn't actually show that anything is syncing with the little circle next to it. Even going through all my accounts turning off data etc... It will remain syncing at the top. When I go into Settings, applications, running, all, and force stop the calendar.. THe sync in notification bar goes right away. That is how I know it has to be the calendar. It eventually comes back.
I have already master reset 3 times. Tried different gmail accounts and everything.

I think I'm having the same problem as vom - nothing is syncing under those menus.

Can you go into each one of the accounts at that time and take a screen shot? You might want to obfuscate your email addresses and such, but I think in order to verify what we're talking about, we should see the sync up top, while NOT seeing a sync within each account. That's what I'd really like to see.
I know that you have Background and Auto un-checked, but I'd like to see the "detail" within each account, as it might point to an error or a reason why those accounts are trying to sync.
Also, is anyone else who's experiencing this "issue" using Exchange ActiveSync? Just trying to spot trends.

It's not doing the sync thing right now, but I can tell you there are no syncing icons under each account. I'll try to nab some shots when it goes into sync mode again

mine is doing this....it's the facebook contacts that seems to be constantly syncing
it never really stops, but never gives an error

[Q] removing T-Mobile sync

Anyone know how to remove the T-Mobile Sync option? When ever I add a new contact it adds it to T-Mobile sync and not to google.

You are talking about two different things:
1. saving new contacts to t-mobile account is default, you cannot change that. But before you save your contact you can choose from a pull down menu to save it in your google account. Next time you add another contact it defaults to t-mobile again. It sucks and is the only things that really bothers me.
2.syncing with t-mobile account...your t-mobile contacts are synced with the t-mobile server....you can stop the syncing by going to the account and sync menu. you can stop the syncing but you cannot remove the t-mobile account completely.

ahh I was hoping to uninstall it but that will do... thank you!

as am i, hopefully someone finds the service or .apk name for that because if someone who rooted the phone and wants to use it on a diff carrier doesnt need that sync account in there.

###As usual backup all your data and I'm in no way responsible if you brick your phone. It shouldn't because I just finished this on mine and it works fine.###
Now I found a way and just did it on my MT4G. Grab root explorer or similar if you don't have it. Open it and use the search for "nab" anything that comes up I.E. that says tmobile.nabservice blah blah blah. There was like 4-5 files for me one zip, obex, and a few others delete em all then your done. The Tmobile sync account is gone and the default contact save is the first account you set up for in sync.

How do you know it automatically saves it to your "tmobile" account? because i have auto sync unchecked for tmobile, and when i go into the settings for my contacts i have everything unchecked except google contacts...but under tmobile contacts it says ZERO

This is true regardless of if you have T-Mobile syncing or not (I have mine disabled 'cause who the heck needs T-Mobile contacts?)
I posted in the thread that led me here, but I wanted to ask Keldarr or anyone who has done the removal of all-things-Nab - does Phone show up as the default Contact Type? Instead of deleting anything to do with Nab, I just froze the NabService via Titanium...
This gets T-Mobile out of the list of Contact Types, but now Phone is the default - not the Google account I wish to be the default. I wanted to see if those who have deleted all traces of Nab, have Phone as a Contact Type and if it is the default.

How strange, in my case it saves by default to my Google account every time I create a new contact. Check your display settings.

Slow reply sorry for me my default contact save is the first gmail account i added. not sure what it would be if u didn't have a sync account besides t-mobiles sync but id assume it would be phone until u add a google account.

need help w/contacts

alright, I've searched and can't find a solution... hopefully one of you guys can help.
I've got a MT4G running 2.3.4, Virtuous Unity v2.39.0 and for some reason, my contacts are out of control... I've got my SIM contacts, phone, exchange, gmail, and facebook, and they all link correctly, etc... but on the ones that I've had on previous devices, or have been there when I've synced, they don't skip or replace them, they just keep piling up... like, 38 entries per contact, with the same number... if I go in and manually remove the #'s, hit save, and re-open it, there are 37 blank fields for "phone" w/the one saved entry... is there any way to either save one per contact, delete all of them, and start over? this is a pain in the ass...

There are 2 ways to do this either go to your gmail account online and open contacts and delete all the duplicate contacts and log out from your phone g mail and re log in and your set
The other way is the phone will tell u that u have duplicate contacts and if you want to sync them together

they're all linked together, say if I go to "MULTISTATE TRANS" there is only one entry in my contacts, but when I open THE contact, there are 38 entries w/the same phone number, and if I type in "MU-" to send a text/call the entire predictive list all says "MULTISTATE TRANS"

Google contacts has a built In contact finder

Thanks... I tried that app, it deleted contacts that weren't duplicates... I ended up exporting all contacts to my SD, uploading the vcards to my gmail on my computer, then used it to sort and delete the dupes... Then I saved it as a new vcard, erased allllllll contacts, then imported... Pain in the ass, but it was the only thing that worked...

I hope you emailed the developer of the app and told him about the problems you had with it. Sorry it didn't work out. I'm glad you got it fixed, and thanks for lettimg us know what worked.

I haven't yet, but I'll be sure to email them. By the time all of the vcard's had uploaded to gmail and such, there were 5800+ contacts on there, and when I got rid of allllllll of the duplicates, I took it down to about 300 actual contacts. I still have no idea why/how it kept importing the existing vcard's from the SD/SIM/phone or w/e, but it was crazy.

[Q] Issues after upgrading to KitKat on Note 3 (N9005)

Let's start with te facts:
I live in the Netherlands and haven't modified my N9005 in any way. No root, no custom roms. Everything is stock.
Last friday I got an OTA for the KitKat update. Installing went fine.
After a while, troubles were starting.
First thing that went wrong was an error "android.process.acore stopped". This message started an couldn't be stopped anymore. Even after a reboot I still got the same error over and over again. I tried all fixes I could find on the internet, but ended up with resetting my phone to factory setting
After soms hours of reinstalling my phone, my phone keeps crashing. Out of the blue my phone freezes and then reboots. This happens about 5 times a day.
I also got an error when I opened my SViewCover (com.sec.android.sviewcover stopped).
And now I discovered that Samsung made a change in the email app. Normally I only received the last 50 mails. This way I could reduce my data usage a lot. I have a mailbox where I receive more then 1000 emails a day. Now Samsung removed this option and stared downloading up to 5000 messages. Also the default is to load max 50kb per email. Because of this I used 600MB in this weekend alone!
Does anybody else have the same issues and maybe found a solution?

I don't have kit kat on my note 3 , so I am not sure of difference with email app.
However on 4.3 there are two options
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

Yeah im not too happy with the changes made as well. The thing I dislike the most is that now you have to have the sync toggle on to manual sync. In 4.3 I would use the sync toggle for push emails and manual when its off.
EDIT: I can see now you said you get 1000 emails a day! What I wrote below won't help, sorry.
To get to your issue: the only solution I can think of (without looking for another email app) is to change the "Period to sync email" to the shortest setting*, which would be a day. This is how I've got my spammed email set up, so when it does sync it doesn't use up loads of battery or data.
Email (app)/settings/accountsettings/"your email username"/syncsettings/period to sync emails:
I wish Samsung in future wouldn't try fixing something that isn't broken.
* the shortest sync setting will sync more than a day if you need it to, by that I mean you just get a day at a time when you sync. Sync twice and you'll get two days worth of emails.

Tnx for your response. Unfortunately your suggestion won't fix my problem indeed.
I really liked the default email client because of the good integration and PGP support. But alternatives as K-9 are also quite good.
My biggest worries are the continues crashes. I really get frustrated by that. At this moment I can't use my phone for the wake-up alarm. After a reboot my phone asks for my pincode (what I really don't want to turn off). I really hope Samsung will come up with a solution. That's why I "hope" that more people have this issue so Samsung will take it seriously.
