No chat

I'd be happy if they'd just add the chat feature. I so miss having that on my iPhone.

Eh, whooptie doo

Use the "trillian" beta for your chat... Or find the bloo 1.5 beta.

The best app that I've had for Facebook Chat is GO!Chat.

I can't believe that the sync still doesn't work on the SGS. The built in one sucks and doesn't give you the option to sync to only "existing contacts", and the facebook one doesn't work at all.

Try this:
In Contacts, Menu>Get Friends>Facebook (or add account)
Then check "Select All" or check the FB friends indvidually. Then Save.

thats the thing, you are selecting the "Facebook friends" you want to sync, i want to select the contacts that I want to sync with facebook. and I want it to sync any of my contacts with facebook so only people that are in my contacts are actually synced. I dont want contacts added because they are my friend on facebook. and i dont want to do it manually. i really only want to sync their photo, i couldn't care less about what they have to say on facebook

The official one. I worked fine when i got the phone, I rooted, rebooted and has never worked since!!

This app (imo) just keeps getting worse. It used to work fine with limitations but now there's a lot of force closes. Still no chat. Don't get me wrong, I do not chat on Facebook. As a matter of fact, I stay offline at all times. However, there is no reason why this app shouldn't have it. Is Android really that much harder to develop for than the iPhone?

[Q] evo 3d sms issue

So I got the evo 3d and it was working fine until recently. its quite annoying of an issue. every time i delete all my sms threads, they keep reappearing in the phone. i could delete all of them and then put the phone down, and i get messages i've had on my phone from weeks ago. i factory reset my phone and unchecked the google back up portion and i still have this problem. i'm logged into htc hub, watch, my gmail, twitter and facebook account and skype. i've uninstalled look out security , i didnt do any backups besides that look out and that google back up thing. i cant seem to make these sms stop coming on the phone.
any fix to this or is anyone else having a problem???
i'm guessing it has to do with my google gmail account but i cant find any sms portion in gmail. i have all my contacts synced with gmail and i never had this problem on my evo 4g.
I'm almost 99% sure it has to do with HTC hub, go to htcsense.com and sign in with you HTC sense account and you will see those sms you speak of I bet ya
i didnt even know about that site. . but i'm on it now, it says its syncing for the first time. but no place to see the sms's although i did hit the ring button and it played my ringtone on my phone. .
soon as it sync's up i'll see. .
i kept deleting the messages from my phone and so far none have popped back up. and i'm just deleting all the sms's i get to keep it no messages on the phone to test it out.
went to privacy and unchecked the back up thing, and checked it back up. thought that would have made a difference but it didnt. . waiting for it to sync on that site and will post reply again. .
THANK YOU , your reply was greatly appreciated
seems after a while several more sms's popped up . . this htc sense site needs to hurry up, is there somewhere i should look for the sms thing cuz all i see is a big box with the message stating its syncing may take several hours and then i get the greyed out forward calls and messages etc. .nothin about sms unless its the messages thing but not selectable at the moment

Yeah no problem and just to let you le about privacy and backup that's from Google , and it backups your download apps the way next time you get a Google phone it will know you had those apps and download them again on your future device , and if you don't way HTC.sense just go to settings / accounts and sync and you will see HTC sense on there

should i like power off my phone or somethin . . thanx for the screen shots. . that'll help a great deal. . but wow how long did it take for you to get yours set up on the sync ? id say i got about 10 apps downloaded. .about 237 contacts. . but several hours is kinda ridiculous huh lol

[Q] One contact causes "Force Close"

So I have one particular contact that always causes "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly please try again [Force Close]" no matter how I get to it. I have a shortcut on my screen that crashes immediately.
If I enter the Contact app and click on the offending contact no information comes up, it just says "No additional Information for this contact" then the force close window pops up.
So this seems like a minor problem except the offending contact is my wife.
And here's where it gets strange. If I go look at her contact on my pc (in gmail) it all looks fine, It has 1st name last name, her picture, 2 phone numbers (mobile and work), 3 email addresses, birthday, anniversary, and google talk id.
So I delete the contact from Gmail, and refresh my phone. I create a new contact with her name and it immediately begins crashing again. If I create a new contact under a different name with her information it works fine.
As a last ditch effort I restored the phone to factory settings, and deleted her contact out of Gmail.
With a clean phone and no remains of the contact that I know of, I created a contact called "Test Wife" entered her information and everything worked fine. Renamed it to my wifes name and bam it starts crashing again.
I'm so lost. There has to be something in either android or gmail holding on to a corrupt version of her contact. I just cant figure out what. Any Thoughts?
I'm running Unnamed 1.2
Weird. What's your wife's name!? I want to see if it happens on my phone.

hahahahah well did it.
Ok, so I think I figured it out. It has to do with her contact info in Twitter. If I go into twitter and tell it not to sync contact info then all works correctly.
Well that's no fun. I was hoping for a glitch that'd be fun to mess with.

I've experienced the same problem when syncing with linkedin and facebook. I had to tell android to not sync both of these in order to keep my contact records 'clean' and not force a crash.
I just ran into it again on a different contact when skype tried to sync contact info.
This same thing is happening to me when I go to edit a contact or add a new contact
But i'm not syncing with anything (maybe google?)
How would this prohibit new contacts and/or editing a current contact?
how do I fix this?

It might be helpful if ya'll pulled and posted logcats so any dev who looks at this thread might be able to tell you what's breaking.
I really don't know why it isn't a requirement to post a logcat when somebody posts "I has a crash".
Thank jeebus for the search! I too was having trouble with contacts tab causing FC, and Facebook sync was the culprit. Sadly, I probably never would have thought it was something that simple...

btothec is using VVM. You are using AT&T Messaging, a different app. There's nothing in the settings about playing messages? For the day I used it I got a VM that was converted to text, but it didn't play on my speaker.

hmm i see
wheres this ATT messaging app that gives a transcript of the voicemail message?
You can get it in the market. I uninstalled it because I didn't like the way it took over SMS messaging. Once you install it you lose VVM on the account and have to call CS to get stock VVM back, though, so be aware of that.

That "AT&T Messages" app actually came pre-installed on my Note. I ignored it, though, and chose to sideload the VVM apk instead.
(I use the GO SMS app for text messaging).

The "AT&T Messages" app handles both text messages and visual voicemail, so the stand-alone sms messaging app no longer handles your text messages. Make sense?

It's FREE on any properly provisioned AT&T LTE device, and $2.99 per month on their 3G devices.

It does take over as VVM and it does display a unified inbox of all messaging. But it doesn't take over SMS/mms from the messaging application. You can still use that or Go SMS or any other if you want...but while AT&T Messages is installed you will get the orange notification in the status bar.

birthdays showing 1 day off in some places only

so i have noticed something weird..
my GF's b-day is this friday (4-20). when she happend to call me earlier today i noticed on her contact picture there was a small birthday cake icon and text that said "tomorrow".
today being 4-18 and her birthday not until 2 days from now i wondered what was going on. so i went to the contact app and tried to verify her birthday, only i couldnt find a field to set her birthday. failing that, i went to the calendar app and it says, and has an event marked on 4-20 for her birthday.
has anyone else noticed this on their phones? the contact notification reports 1 day earlier than supposed to? i have verified that the contact information is correct in exchange. i dont sync contacts with any other service other than exchange, i do howerver sync with multiple exchange accounts.
edit> the calendar entry is probably from exchange but i cant be sure, which may indicate why it is set correctly on the calendar app.
i have searched google and noticed the same complaint (although much older complaints) but most of those people were syncing with facebook *shrugs*

Care to tell us which ROM you are using?
I had a similar experience on mine but it wasnt limited to birthdays. An event would show up a day earlier or later (I cant remember).
Last week or so, I randomly came across an article that said there had been a bug on some samsung phones that caused this issue when an event was added to the calendar as an "all day event." or birthdays now, I add it to the individual contact and it shows up in the calendar without this issue.

Getting MMS from I phone instead of SMS

Whenever a certain friend sends a text to me I get it as a MMS msg instead of just a normal SMS. Is that because he is doing something wrong? I get normal txts from my wife from her I phone. What's the reason for this?

That's weird I send regular texts and group chats with iphone users and never have that problem. Try clearing the cache for both apps or freeze the stock messaging app.

That's what I thought but if that was the case he would be receiving replies from other people. I personally use gosms for group texting so Idk how stock works
I know for awhile there iPhone to android and vice versa was having issues. Don't know if they ever fully figured it out. They being apple or google. I don't have any I-friends lol so I can't test for ya. But if your getting the message I wouldn't worry over much.

i personally was able to group mms with 2 iphone users on the stock messaging app but now i use the gosms app because it has emojis and you know how iphone users love their emojis....
this happens all the time to me. Whenever one of my friends initiates a text message to multiple persons from his iphone, it shows up on my end as a multimedia message. Whenever one of my iphone friends sends me just a one-on-one text message it shows up as a regular SMS.
I see this problem more often when I don't clear out messages from the recipient in a conversation. Last night I started seeing it happen real bad and I noticed there were about 200 messages in the conversation so I deleted the thread and the problem went away.
I do hate the problem though, I always receive "multimedia message, press <here> to download" and then you have to wait.
