[Q] Deleting cache HTC Peep (Twitter) - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In HTC Peep you can set a download limit of for example 50 tweets. The old tweets don't get deleted automatically. So the cache of Peep isn't emptied automatically. In result your HD2 can get slow!
Don't know why this bug has never been fixed officially.. But still in all the stock and custom ROM's the same problem. Looks like no one ever take a look at it.
Solutions:
1- you can empty the cache by deleting everything in Temp > TwitEng > Cache and Db.
2- is there a CAB to fix this?
3- install another Twitter client, but I really like the Peep widget which is linked to the homescreen Twitter-Tab!
Can you link a Twitter client to the Twitter-Tab on the home screen in stead of HTC Peep?

Facebook Sync in Sense with 2.1 : the fix

Ok I have looked for this trouble in the forum and on Google already, and I see I am not alone, but the only answers I could find are : "no bug for Facebook sync in Sense with 2.1, does work for me", "remove and re-ad your account and sync, might be long".
Well... actually... no it does not work.
The fact is, I have tried a few 2.1 ROMs, and I couldn't make it work on any of those, including the last official taiwanese 2.1 release : only the profile pictures are synced, but nothing else : no statuses, no events, no facebook albums, including mines, and cannot upload pictures... very annoying
So... maybe the problem is not on my HTC Hero with Sense on Android 2.1... and I was right.
So here is THE fix :
1- remove your Facebook account from your Hero.
2- In Facebook, Application Settings, remove all HTC Sense applications (I had 2, maybe one for Sense with 1.5, other for Sense with 2.1).
3- On your Hero, re-add your Facebook account.
4- Fixed
First sync might take a few minutes, depends on your network I guess, but not hours like I have read in some other threads...
Sorry for my not so good english, and I hope this fix has not been already given so I don't look like a jerk ^^

Just flashed Fresh 1.0.1 and my contacts aren't syncing. Facebook for Android works fine but Facebook for Sense is messed up. I already tried what you suggested above before looking online for a solution and finding that it was a common issue. I'm on an EVO and I tried Menu/Settings/Accounts&Sync/ and removed Facebook for HTC Sense, I also removed Facebook for Android and then re-installed both, still no luck. From looking around it seems like a common problem but not everyone seems to be having the same issues.
Yeah I have tried this a few times now and still no luck
Edit: As suggested by sassnowwolf (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=736276&page=4) I cleared the cache and boom it's working now (This is after going through the process above)

[Q] Facebook for HTC Sense problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Facebook for HTC Sense on 2.1 Rom's. My contacts sync and link ok, and I get their Facebook info (updates, birthday, etc). But I their photos don't sync, and I can't even access them from the contact list (on the images tab). I get the album info, number of pics, but when I try to see one, I get a icon looking like a photo and a exclamation mark
This only happens on 2.1. Tried Salsa Sense and Wildhero and they work fine.
Using Elelinux 2.1 reloaded at the moment, but the same happened on villainrom 13 and Tegro 2.6.
I've checked facebook permissions, hard resets, removing and setting new accounts, clearing application data, contacts data, and searched forum and google for solutions, but to no avail.
Can anyone help?

Small issues with Bamf Sense 3.0 RC2

Having 2 small problems with the sense 3.0 rom. My facebook contact pictures wont completely sync, i have about 15 people that no matter what i do it wont pull a picture for, i've tried clearing caches, deleting accounts and it won't work. I had the phone completly setup up in rc1 and didnt notice that issue. The other thing is i have an app or 2 i lose the right icon for on one of my screens, it turns into the android default for an app, but it still works fine.
hector48, have u tried manually syncing the contact to the respective facebook account? like, go to people, select the contact, click the link "(--)" button in the top right corner, choose facebook for htc sense, and select the contact? i've had the same issue where a certain amount of contacts won't sync no matter how many times i sync it, so i had to do it manually like that. hope this helps!
I have the same problem with one app on my homescreen that changes to the default icon. I have not looked into it yet but maybe its a problem with the app being on the sd card or something like that.
I tried what you said still no go, i can pull up the profile through friendstream or the contact card but it wont pull a pic ><

Hmmm, which facebook are you using to sync? Are you using the regular/Android Facebook or did you set up the Facebook for HTC Sense? I think the one for htc sense works better, but you have to set it up manually by going to settings --> accounts & sync --> add account and add facebook for htc sense.
The sense Facebook
On other versions of BAMF, I had the same issue.
Fix Permissions messed up the contact jpg permissions.
There is a thread that details how to fix this.
See if this helps you.

[Q] Facebook for HTC on custom ROMs, why does it always show SYNC icon?

Is anyone running a custom ROM and noticed that Facebook for HTC app always leaves the SYNC icon on?
When you go into ACCOUNTS & SYNC, it doesn't show that it's actually syncing anything, but at the same time, my phone won't go into DEEP SLEEP anymore.
I verified it with this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&feature=search_result
Even if I disable syncing and leave the account there, it still shows the sync icon, even after a reboot.
However, if I remove the Facebook for HTC account, everything is back to normal again.
I heard that we can just install the Facebook app from the market but I like having it integrated into my contacts as well.
I have noticed this issue with the following two ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192869
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194118
I'm still on the STEEL ROM because it has working battery % and have removed FB for HTC for now.
Just wondering if you guys have encountered the same issue with other ROMs?

IDK if you are restoring the app or not, but my thoughts are this: go into settings/apps/manage/all and find the app, clear cache and data, reboot recovery wipe cache, reboot, re sign in to the app. ??? You can try without the recovery part, just clear the app stuff re sign, maybe that would work.

Calendar Widget since update.

Anyone else have an issue with the HTC Calendar Widget since T-Mobile's latest update for the Amaze?
Previously it used to show me events for things like my friends birthdays using the information from Facebook. Noticed today that it wasn't showing my my friend's birthday. Seems like it just no longer displays that information. Just me or everyone have this issue now with HTC's Calendar Widget?
I've even removed it from the Home screen, and re-added it. During the re-add I confirmed that Facebook was checked/selected still as one of the sources it should get data from.

Mine is displaying just fine.
Are you talking about calendar 1, 2 or 3?
I am using 1.
HTC Calendar Widget version 3.0.2118282653.140764
HTC Calendar version 3.02120283257.184156
View Mode 3/3 (small bar).
Set on first Home screen under the Clock/Weather Widget.
I've force stopped both of the above apps and done a clear data with no luck.
If I go to 'Settings|Account and Sync|Facebook' and then click 'Sync Calendar' to try and force it to Sync it ends up with a Red Exclamation Mark and the text "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Same appears for 'Live Feed'.
The dates for both the last Calendar Sync and Last Live Feed sync to Facebook show as Mon, Dec 12 2:07PM which is a bit before the phone got upgraded to 1.43.531.3 from T-Mobile over the air.
I've also tried rebooting the phone and have even pulled the battery.
EDIT: Solution Found.
Found this via some posts on the net related to syncing Facebook contacts but appears to have worked for calendar as well.
1). from a PC, Logon to Facebook, hit dropdown on right of screen and select 'Account Settings'
2). Click Apps, then remove permissions for HTC Sense
3). On the Phone, Go to 'Settings|Applications|Manage Applications|All'
4). Find "Facebook for HTC Sense" and click it.
5). Force Stop, then Clear Cache if available, then Clear Data
6). Hold Power on the phone and select "Restart"
7). When the phone boots back up you'll have to authorize Facebook for HTC Sense again and then it will work.
Everything is good now. Calendar, Live Feed, and Contacts are all syncing now (before only Contacts were syncing).
Coming from Runnymede AIO V6 on my Desire and really liked the stock HTC Weather Clock Widget in 4x1. Does anyone know how to port just that widget to say, NRG's 2.27.12 ROM? Attached are screenshots of the widget and the details for it if that helps.
Cheers.

Figured out it is a Sense 3.5 option. Switched ROM's to Xboarder's Sense 3.5 RC1.7 and it is in there.
Cheers
