Facebook Contacts sync not working

[mjknight02]

Where did you find the previous version? I would like to try that.

No, I just gave up for now, it wasn't for me and for a favor it took too much of my time and for just being at the exact same spot I was when I began looking for an answer.



Yes, I tried that, I uninstalled all updates, disabled the app and sideloaded the latest version I found the one that was more or less the version for when the Note 5 was released, nothing dissent, just the same, no contacts sync option in the App settings and with all account settings syncing contacts nothing happens. Still understand why I have the contacts sync option and others with same firmware and Facebook versions don't have it.

Oh no, I was talking about going back to like a version 21 or so.

What version of Facebook do you have?

 

[Kelly Kearns]

And you can install that version on the Note 5 and even keep it and it will work fine. I kept version 27 on my Note 5 until I found the chat re-enabler would work after v 27 and I could use messaging in the facebook app, then I updated to the current version. Well newer than current, I'm on Beta.

Try this one. Facebook 45.0.0.0.33 (Android 4.0.3+) APK Download - APKMirror

I have (and the ones that are not working) the latest official one, 47.0.0.25.125

I'm guessing that one possibly might not have the sync contacts option. I can't remember now how long ago they changed that. It should be in the v 27 one though, I used that for at least 6 months, until just a month ago.

Ok, see my above post.

Oh, I have version 48.0.0.21.137 and there is a contact option there..let me get back on my phone and post the screenshot.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

What about this upload contacts? Do you have that?

 

[Kelly Kearns]

You can actually probably find a Beta apk online and sideload it.

I understand that, and I have read about it, but for some reason I've never experienced that in any of my bunch of phones, I just have my Note 5 since Sept.3, so it already came with latest version at the time and I had and still have the contacts sync. My S6 edge from Tmobile also had it, my International unlocked S6 had it, LG G4 and others and all of them as you can see have been set during the last 5 months at most.

I factory reset my S6 edge and set it for my wife last weekend, it doesn't have the Sync contacts option (just checked this week) and because she doesn't even want to sync the contacts I haven't messed with it, but I think that if I try, she won't be syncing her contacts either, so what could it be? Same phone that I had set for me until last week with same Facebook version and now it doesn't have the option either, I'm beginning to think that it's related to the Facebook account instead, problem is that I can't find anything on the account settings that can cause that.

Simply out of ideas at this point, hence the reason I told my Co-worker that I gave up.

All of them have that option, not not the Contacts sync options, the one that you choose if you want to sync all contacts, only existing one or none. The option that appears on the screenshot I posted earlier.

Mine is working fine, so don't need it in my case, and of the 3 I know that don't have it, 2 don't want it, so the only one that want it, it's a coworker and I don't have too much time anymore to try more things on his Note.

That is kind of odd. I also had to load the v27 on my phone because I in my account and my niece's account on there and a page for work and Facebook took away the one tap login so you don't have to enter all the account info each time. I used v27 set those up and then updated and it kept the one tap log in.

 

[mjknight02]

I used to have it but when I reinstalled it, it went away. Where can I find version 27?

 

[mjknight02]

I found version 27 and uploaded that and it worked!!! Thank you so much! Do I dare update??

Yeah updating should be fine and then turn on that contact update contacts option in the settings I'm guessing. I don't sync my contacts do I have that turned off.

One thing I've noticed is that in my phone where is working fine, if I go to Accounts I can see the email I use to login to Facebook, but in those that are not working when I go to settings-accounts instead of the email account there is only a long number, something like 0s and 1s. I insist that is something with the Facebook account and not just the app.

Well in accounts in Facebook on my phone, it shows my account as numbers, not an email address.

 

[Kelly Kearns]

Like this?

Then I'm out of ideas again. Like I said, mine is working, and from the others 3 that are not working, 2 don't want to sync contacts so I'm sorry for the other one but this one really outsmart me.

Well mine isn't syncing, but I never sync, so it might be the ones not syncing show the numbers only or something.
