[Q] Twitter for Android - sync contacts broken in ICS / Android 4.0.3 ?

[aswiseman]

I upgraded my Nexus S from Android 2.3.1 to 4.0.3 and all was well: those I follow on Twitter turned up in the new People app. But recently I ran a factory reset to try and improve battery life and since re-installing Twitter for Android it refuses to sync my contacts.

My Twitter account has been added to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. What I get for "Sync Contacts" is: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". "Sync Twitter" is working fine as is syncing with googlemail accounts.

My colleague has a Samsung Galaxy Nexus (also running Android 4.0.3) and I got him to add his Twitter account to the Settings > Accounts & sync screen. He is getting the exact same problem.

Is anyone else getting this? It's been broken for a few days now.

I'm running the AOSP oICS and it doesn't work for me either. Try to sync contacts with twitter and it just fails. NS4G.

It's a problem with Twitter. It was fine a few days ago on stock Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.1 and then it just stopped working.

Mine works, but I installed from a backup so they may be gone when it updates.

Mine also doesn't work. I submitted it as an issue to them and I recommend you guys do the same.

It's a 4.0.3 or Twitter 3.0.1 error I think, not sure. Anyway I contacted them (FWIW) and I got the basic reply:

Hi,

Blabla thanks. Blabla assigned to an engineer. Blabla once fixed it will be posted on blabla
Sorry, thanks for being patient etc

It worked fine for weeks, only stopped a week or so ago. Something on twitter's end.

Yeah I figured in the meanwhile, not app/OS version specific, lets hope they can fix it soon because my contacts are all grey and boring atm

guess what..u guys are not alone. Mine also suddenly causing me similar issue since last night.

Definitely not an ICS issue. It has to be a twitter issue, because it also stopped working on my gingerbread-running Optimus One.

 

[margag]

do you think it's a twitter problem or is ics?

 

[m3tallikris]

I sent a message with the link ... waiting response now ... =)

Wait & see

 

[rabarkar]

Same here! No ICS Issues confirmed

I can confirm the issue, in my Xoom running ICS and also in my phone running Gingerbread, both with the same message using the same account... So I think is twitter fault...

So we have to wait for an update...
