[Q] Question about syncing twitter and contacts. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I figured out the twitter issue i was having,but still facebook wont sync for me.. anyone else?

I had issues with facebook syncing when I first got my vibrant, but at the time I had over 2000 friends on facebook. I pared that list down to about 1200 and the syncing started working without a problem.
Not sure if you're running into the same thing, but it seems to me almost like the sync process is timing out when you have a large number of facebook friends.

Yeah I have a little more than 300 friends so I don't think that's what is happening ha... Thanks for trying tho

Google+ and Gmail Syncing issues

Anyone else having issues not receiving emails with Google+ installed on their Evo 3D until you manually refresh? Without Google+ I get my emails fine, then I install Google+ and it all stops, I have to open Gmail and refresh, then I uninstall Google+ and I start receiving them again. What the hell?
Also, I've done a Hard Reset back to factory, sent myself emails and I get them no problem. I installed Google+ and no other programs, sent myself email and nothing. So I've pretty much narrowed it down to Google+
No problems here....

Just in case, check your sync settings. Maybe they're not set to sync and maybe, sync is turned off. Other than that, I can't think of what else could affect you.

yeah i am having that problem off and on sometimes i have to manually sync to get my emails and g+ notification other times i get them when im suppose to not sure whats going on with it
I'm not getting my emails on time either. I have google+ installed as well. Gonna test your theory and report back.
**Edit**
So I sent an email with google+ instaled and got nothing. Waited about 10 minutes. Uninstalled, rebooted and sent an email, got it within a minute. I think the OP is on to something.
I'm having similar issues with the sync of gmail and google+, I first noticed it when I switched on 4g which is technically not available yet but is in testing. As soon as it connected I got alerts from both services and looking at the times they were for quite a bit of time before. I noticed it seemed to be an issue when google+ was initiated. I'll test further as well.
I havent seen any issues like that at all
I have Google+ installed and have no issues receiving Gmail.
Just started having the issues but yeah. I'm going with sprint issues...
Thanks for the replies guys, I'm still having issues. As soon as I install Google+ all gmail notifications stop and I have to start manually refreshing it. Sync is turned on.
Just a quick update, following Daniel H's advice. Turning off the Google+ syncing seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe the Google+ syncing and Gmail syncing were conflicting with each other. Very strange. But anyway seems to be working good now. Getting my emails at the same time as the computer.
I'll post here to receive karma!
I came across this thread when i was googling because i was not receiving any emails. I get emails sort of frequently, around 10 per day, and i just noticed that i have gone a couple days without receiving emails. I did check my gmail app in those days to make sure i didnt have any and indeed no emails (at least showing in the app) until today i hit refresh and got like 70 emails most from days ago.
I uninstalled Google+, restarted, and the problem went away. So im acknowledging there is a problem with google+ and gmail app.

[Q] Motoblur Facebook contacts not working?

Is anyone else having an issue where the Motoblur Facebook functionality doesn't actually work? It won't import/match up contacts at all and doesn't even show any information under the social networking app. It will, after a few hours, notify me on unread messages, but that's it.
If you are having this issue, has anyone found a fix for it?
Running official Gingerbread.
Had the same prob with darkside rom till I flashed the blur fix since your saying your using stock I don't understand

It confuses me, too. Yesterday, on one attempt, it actually added 9 Facebook contacts before stopping. Every other attempt has resulted in complete failure. Oddly enough, I can still post statuses to Facebook with the Social Networking app when the account is added, so it's definitely working to some degree.

Exchange email and calendar eating battery

Does anyone here have an exchange account on their note, and has noticed that on occasion the email and calendar apps are eating the battery?
This is the second time this has happened to me. As you'll see by my screenshot, the usage is even higher than the display and is keeping the phone awake. This happened to me this past weekend and I deleted the account and re-added it. That seemed to clear up the issue but now it's back.
Anyone else experience this?

I had the issue with email. I just went into settings and adjusted the sync schedule. I basically turned email off while I was asleep. That worked wonders for me.

This happens to me all the time. I think it is an issue that Android has when syncing to exchange servers. mine consistently will lose sync and I get repeated unable to connect messages so basically exchange just keeps the phone awake in constant attempt to sync. I've tried other email exchange apps and they work for a few days or more but then the issue starts up again. This was a problem on my epic 4g, evo4g and my Samsung intercept. I think your best bet is to do what you've been doing, monitor when your phone is acting up, remove your exchange account and add it back in again. That's pretty much what I do now. I wish sometimes that I didn't have to use my phone for work. Fyi with touchdown email clients app this has never been an issue. Try the 30 day trial. I just didn't want to spend the money on the app.

Install CPU Spy - I'll bet that you'll see it is keeping the CPU on a high speed and not entering deep sleep. Then kill the email app via the Task Manager and go back to see if that solves the CPU.

1st post, hi!
So you have your calendar syncing with exchange?!? How?
I have an exchange email synced and set to push. I haven't had any issues with poor battery life or over heating of the phone.

I'm assuming that you are using exchange sync'ed. I do, getting e-mail fine, calendar just isn't working. After a little google fu', there are multiple reports of the same thing. If yours is working, it maybe an exchange issue on my end then.
Sorry for hi-jacking the thread.
Thanks.

I just double checked and it says my calendar is synced with exchange. I also know that I am able to accept meeting requests from within exchange emails and it adds it to my my calendar.
Now I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I use Jorte as my main calendar which is also synced to my Google calendar.

Anyone else on latest ICS leak (605.10) having trouble with facebook live feed sync

Hey all, the past few days my Facebook Live Feed Sync, has been "running continuously" and seemingly not getting anywhere, also facebook calendar (which I don't use) when enabled would just 'fail'. I've noticed facebook has tried to make me re-authorize a bunch, and re-setup sync. But it keeps happening, I have to disable the sync for my phone to even get a chance to go to sleep.
I'm wondering if it's a bug related to facebooks news oAuth having timelimits now, and not properly reauthorizing the htc facebook app.
Just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has seen an issue.
I've been having problems with it today on my phone. It's working fine on my tablet.
On a possibly related note my battery drained in about 7.5 hours yesterday so I disabled Facebook sync and gmail sync just to see. Now, I've been using the phone less since then (and the battery will die again soon) but I'm on about 21 hours right now. I'm thinking Facebook sync may have had had a lot to do with that since I reenabled gmail a few hours ago.
Then again, that could be a coincidence... But the app has been having issues.

Yeah. Something is definitely up.... I deleted it, wiped both the cache and dalvik and disabled htc facebook apk. I'm keep an eye on it.

Possible Gmail sync Fix? This did it for me!

So I too had syncing issues, sometimes it would take days to get an email even when I would manually refresh it. But I decided to go through and manually delete EVERY email in my gmail account, I went through and made copies of text and saved attachments through the last 7 years with google and just deleted. Everything. Sent, archieved, everything...and then hit the trashcan and deleted permanently...
What is interesting though is within MINUTES of completely wiping it all my gmail sync started working again. No joke.
I had my girlfriend send me a message, and she sent it and I recieved it while it still showed "sending" on her screen. I then went to craigslist and sent an email to myself through yahoo and got it instantly. I then emailed someone who had something I wanted and you know people never like to respond but they responded within a 2 minutes and I got it no problems.
So is this a sync conspiracy? My gmail seriously wouldn't sync but then does perfectly again just like it should.
If you have the time I recommend trying it. The whole process for me took about 30 minutes because I had to disconnect my yahoo from gmail and go back to seperate apps. But everything works great.
Let me know if this works for you!
Also, Dirty Unicorns, Franco 14e, latest PN gapps.
So I've got a kind of weird question for you, did you happen to enable the star wars theme for your Gmail account? The one that would change like everything in Google to something star wars related?
I don't think that's the case. Sometimes or receive emails instantly, other times, it syncs randomly. My email only has maybe about 8 emails that I didn't delete while the rest of it is clean.

While what you're saying may be true, 1) The syncing problem seems to be random in regards to when it starts happening, I can install the app and have it work fine for a week or two and then it stops, and 2) Even if that DID fix the problem, it's not something I'd be willing to do.
It's pretty freaking embarrassing that Google email works totally fine on iOS devices and has big issues on Google devices.
I also have the syncing issue, sometimes it's fine, other times, no email until I manually refresh.
i feel like i've read somewhere before that this may be related to the battery optimization feature in 6.0 (doze mode), and if it's disabled for the gmail app then the syncing issues should go away. but i'm not 100%, maybe this will spark an idea from someone else as to what's causing that for you.
So no ones willing to take the leap and delete everything and try it? My gmail has been great for days...
Maybe your email was full that's why it wouldn't sync.
I faced the same sync problem when my Gmail got close to full. Once I made room, everything worked well. Since you deleted your emails that created more space, hence it started syncing.
I have to say that Inbox doesn't suffer the sync problem.

I had less than 700 emails...total. Sent/everything. Idk I tested it on my friends Moto X Pure and he gets emails now too...and he barely had 50 emails.
I just don't get it.

+1. The Inbox app has always synced fine for me. I switched to it last year after having intermittent sync issues with the Gmail app.
I added my gmail account to the Outlook app, that seems to be working fine, bit easier to get used to than Inbox too!
