Fix för att synka med facebook (på engelska)

After the update to Android 2.1 on my HTC Hero, like many other people, I had problems syncing my phone contacts to my facebook contacts. The process com.htc.bgp constantly force closed, and no linking could be made or is some cases only a part of the facebook contacts were synced.

Different fixes has been suggested by users online but none of them worked. But after a lot of trying, a combination of these fixes finally solved the problem for me. Now all my facebook contacts are available to link to my phone contacts.

Here's what I did and what you can try:

1. On your computer, go to Facebook – Account – Application settings. Remove applications Facebook for Android and HTC Sense. Log out of Facebook.

2. On your phone, remove any all Facebook programs or widgets you might have installed.

3. Go to Settings – Accounts and delete your Facebook for HTC Sense account. The settings Background data should be checked and Auto-sync unchecked.

4. Go to Settings – Applications – Manage applications. Enter each of the following applications and click Clear data:
a. Calender
b. Calender Storage
c. com.htc.socialnetwork.accountmanager
d. com.htc.socialnetwork.provider
e. Facebook for HTC Snese
f. Gmail
g. Gmail Storage
h. My Uploads
i. PC Synchronization

5. Restart your phone.

6. Connect to the internet.

7. Start the Photos program

8. At the bottom there should be a facebook icon. Click it and log in to your facebook account.

9. Let all the contacts download.

10. Go to your contacts (People), and now your old Facebook connections should slowly start to appear, and you should be able to link the contacts to your facebook contacts. It might take a while but have patience!

Perhaps one or a few of these steps are not necessary, but at least it’s what worked for me and hopefully it will help some of you too.

Good luck!
