The Incredible Vanishing Facebook Sync Option

[Thoth17]

So after a bit of tomfoolery made me delete my Facebook account from [Settings>accounts I found that all my Facebook contacts have vanished. After spending two hours lurking various forums, and trying all the solutions presented there, two things became very apparent: No one has any concrete solution, and I am throughly boned.
So while I'm listing to the horrid hold music for Verizon support, I thought i'd make one last ditch effort to find a solution before verizon support fails me and I'm forced to reset to factory defaults.

Edit: I forgot to mention, as the title implies, the option to resync has vanished from both the [settings>accounts] (where it only allows you to remove it) and the app itself.

Well let's see if we can't help you out. If I understand correctly you lost facebook contacts and resycned fb and they didn't return?

Yes, that exactly. I'm trying the fix the oddly helpful Verizon support guy suggested, but even he didn't know if it would work.

Ok well let's start there. What did he suggest?

He suggested that I uninstall the app, then do a hard reset by yanking out the battery.
Just tried it, and it didn't work. however I'm going to try it again, this time with the Anti-virus protection uninstalled. to see if that makes any difference.

Edit: nope, it doesn't

Do you have facebook synced both in the native app and the seperate acct in the accts section?

Yes, I had the information entered in both the app and the account. The option to sync simply isn't there.
Were you able to get yours re-synced?

[spaz33g]

Yes. I un synced the app and the acct. I resynced the acct and got nothing, then I resyncd the app and they all reappeared in my contacts.

You see the option to Resync was missing completely.
However I looked at my phone this morning to find all the contacts were back.
If I had to guess, I'd say the problem was that the app didn't reset the sync schedule, so it went along normally as if nothing happened and restored my contacts the next time it was scheduled to sync.
