I’m trying to sync up my Android with my Facebook account. When I do, I get the following, the “loading” arrow spins for several minutes. Then I get this message:

**Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.**

This implies to me that the problem is on the Android’s end, not Facebook. But I am able to sync fine with gmail. I’ve been getting this message for over a week.

Anything I should check or do?
