Running Das BAMF 1.6.2, but this occured before the rom, so I know it's not the rom. I set the Update Schedule to "Once a Day", but it syncs more like every hour.
Seems like everytime I wake up my Thunderbolt from screen lock, Facebook for HTC Sense wants to sync. None of the others have this syncig problem (Google, Android Facebook).
Is there a fix for this?
Did you uninstall Friend Stream? I did once and my sync would go on for days. I think I have the .apk around if you need it. Good luck!

No, they're saying if you did uninstall Friend Stream that could be causing it to sync too often.

Freeze htc fb with titanium backup or bloat freezer. Problem solved

Hi. Is there any way I could unsync or remove my facebook phonebook contacts from ny phone dialer. Half of them are inaccurate and the other half I don't call at all..

try to remove your fb account from the phone, maybe it works
go to People > Menu > View. untick facebook contacts.

Hi. Thanks for the replies but in my people app, the Facebook is already unticked. I doubt it lies in people as the unwanted phonebook does not appear in peoples.. I dont want to remove Facebook entirely as I still want it in HTC sense.

I've the same issue as well.
All i did was to uninstall Facebook for HTC Sense, remove Facebook application and walla, all my contacts went unsynced.
Since i needed Facebook,i reinstalled from Market but this time round,i ensured i did not sync both phone contacts with Facebook contacts.
Hope this works for you,cheers!

Ok.. but won't this prevent my people app to stop linking with Facebook and friend stream can't be used as well?

Yup,you're right.
It will stop linking the contacts from Facebook as well as Friends Stream.
Hope this helped you on the issue.

I think you can use Titanium Backup to back it up (I'm not sure). Or you can adb pull the HtcFacebook.apk from /system/app, push it back when you need it.

Hi there, I'm also having this Facebook problem - but where do I find the "People" function?
I'm using an Xperia X8. Cheers.
Hi,
I have just rooted my phone today and I started removing the bloatwar. Since I had downloaded Facebook 1.5.2 from the market I thought I wouldn't need the Facebook app that comes with myTouch 4g so I went on to remove it.
This has cause the contact list to lose all the sync with the Facebook, and as I didn't make a backup of the ROM there's nothing I can restore from. I tried downloading the Iced Glacier ROM and grabbed the apk from it but when I tried installing it with the side loader I am getting the "install parse failed no certificates" error.
I am wondering if anyone has a solution to this, like providing the myTouch facebook apk or bypass the certificate error with the apk I got from the ROM. Or if there's a way to sync the contact with the Facebook app directly from the market?
Thanks in advance.
Just download the newest facebook app off the market. When you first open it it will ask if you want to sync contracts. Just did it this morning

That didn't happen to me, I think it's because I removed Facebook for myTouch 4g.

After the update, you need to log out and then log back in for changes to take full effect. I prefer to uninstall completely then install the updated version, it avoids the bugs.
Once you've done that, it will no longer ping GPS when viewing the news feed

Use friendcaster, a friend of mine has it and no complains, i personally use the mobile site, and have an app to upload pics and vids to fb, and fb notifies me via gmail, works best for me no issues

A lot of Android apps love to keep tabs on you and are constantly gathering location, personal, or contact data info. That's why I use LBE Privacy guard app, it allows you to deny permissions that go along with downloaded apps

They are trying to make it closer to the iOS version (pull to refresh...etc). And the iOS Facebook app pings the GPS every time it refreshes the news feed. Not totally sure why.

Yeah, I forgot, location based updates are something Facebook is doing now. Weird that it's wrong for you though. I never update my status enough to notice.

I don't know what happen. Some photos I can view, but for 99% of them, I get "Cannot retrive the photo at this time. Please try again later?" I can open them fine on home computer so I do not think its an access issue?
Any thoughts or clue?
What app are you using for Facebook?

My Wife (LG Optimus) and Me (Photon) both have this issue, gotta be facebook at this point. They have had ****ty Android support from the start.
But-----------------> Google Plus FTW.
I reinstalled with no success. I thought it was me, then I reached out to some friends and this seems to be a common issue, no matter what phone you have. It just took me as odd one day it worked, next it did not and i did not download anything..........Oh well.
It's the app, not the phone

And I know why!!! Just looking, I had Version 1.8.1. After I deleted and went to reinstall, the version on the market is "Depends on Device!" So instead of investing some $$$$ in the masses, they are doing one off's as they get to it. Meaning they likely fix a bug for one device and break another!

I'm having a weird issue that I can't quite figure out the cause of. I have my Sprint S3 rooted and have flashed the Blazer ROM 1.6 on it. I haven't had any issues that I know of until now. I have my work email, which is run on a Microsoft Exchange Server, hooked up to my phone. I get notifications fine, emails, invites, etc. However, randomly, emails will not show up in their entirety. It will show 5 or 6 lines of the email and then nothing else. If I forward the email to another account, like my gmail account, the entire email is there.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have tried searching and can't find anyone else with the issue. I thought at first it was my particular phone, but I returned it and got another S3 and the same thing happens.
Right now I have it back to stock, still rooted, and I'm not seeing the issue. That's what's making me think it might have to do with the Blazer ROM.
Hopefully someone else has come across this issue.
Should be in the Blazer thread not General......
You might try a full wipe and reflash. I have not heard reports of truncated messages.

OK. Sorry about that. I'll repost it there. And I have tried wiping and reflashing. And it's happened to me on both phones that I have had in the past week, which seems weird. I'll get this post moved. Thanks.

Man, it's so odd. I have the email size set to All. And it's not on every email. It's only every now and then. I'm going to try another email app and see if it still happens.

I'm glade you like it as I have been using it for quite sometime now. I like that you can back it up in TB and take it with you from rom to rom. Plus you don't have to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself.

What exactly do you mean by not having to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself? You mean securing it so no one can get into your email?
