Brand new GSII, so it's running KE3 and completely stock on T-Mobile.
the Facebook app from Market lets me login and use it. But when I want to connect my facebook account with the social hub OR through "accounts and sync" (in settings) it says connection failed. Try again.
I've done that repeatedly (on wifi and 3G) and it still fails.
Anyone know how to fix this?
(btw am I right in believe that this will allow me to link my facebook contacts with my contacts on my phone - thus pulling down their profile pics - and bringing up the little "f" icon showing that they're linked??)
Thanks for any replies

That's why it's really annoying for me. I had the Desire and I really liked the fact that I had little pictures next to the people I was texting!!

Hi,
I cannot see an option to setup an email account outside of corporate or Gmail. I did do a search through the forums but came up empty.
Have I missed something fundamental.
Tried setting up the POP account through the corporate icon but of course it could not communicate with the server.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Can't you just select "email" from the application list and go from there? Once you type in the email address and password select "manual setup" and configure it accordingly. You will need your outgoing and incoming mail server etc etc.
If that doesn't work for you for some reason you can always download K-9 mail from the market. Its free and has a ton of features.
Good luck! Let me know if you still need any further assistance
I think I'm going to give this rom one more shot today. I like it, but I'm not so crazy about the on screen buttons at the bottom. They seem redundant to the ones already on the atrix.

I couldn't handle that, it would suck to have those extra on screen buttons!

Yes, they are launcher based, not Android based.
I really don't know how the real ICS would work on smartphones with harware keys. Redundant and i hated the ICS Launcher on this ROM just for that reason.
Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.
Either way we as consumers suffer

ugh, what a bummer. ah well. thanks again!
I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

I thought the meanrom had this fix??? I've never had any issues on mine. Then again, I run the stock w/goodies rom; 1.78 to be exact. I've had nothing but good luck with my email; even with meanrom.
Mikey just put up MeanRom 3.8 and I think he might have fixed these issues. Download it and try it.

Or use K-9 email because it's amazing and by far the best email app in existence.

Thanks for the notice-- I tried it and found no difference to mail. Links are still disabled in plain-text formatted E-mails and the too-large font issue remains. IMAP accounts don't auto-sync either.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

+1 I use an Exchange email account on Viper4g 2.0.2 in the stock mail app and have the text size set to small, Pinch to zoom works most times, the show pictures works every time, and links work just fine.
Before I start- all details about the ROM im using, kernel etc are listed on my signature.
So the problem is- for the past few hours on my s3 I haven't been able to access playstore and Gmail is not syncing either. On my s3's account settings, it shows sync error on my google account.
The strange thing is: On my laptop browsers (chrome/firefox), I cannot access playstore either, but I can access Gmail
I tried a full wipe/factory reset and reflashed g-apps. I'm tempted to flash another rom but I'm not sure whether that'll solve anything.
Can anyone help me please? I'm totally lost- no idea what's causing this issue :/
Nevermind. Reconnected my internet modem and now its fine again.

Hi,
I am having the same sort of issue... I have a galaxy S3 gt-i9300. My google sync suddenly failed. I removed my google account from my accounts and sync menu which obviously deleted all my contacts as well. When i tried to add the google account again it seems not to work. the bar just keeps moving for eva n eva widout responding. hence i cannot access my play store youtube channel or anything else related.
I even updated to omega jelly beans ROM but have the same problem. other accounts like facebook sync fine.

Yea I'm back to the same problem as you again. It was working fine for a day after I reconnected my internet- but now google suddenly stopped syncing on my phone- can't get new emails and can't access gplay either. By the way- do you live in a place where they recently banned YouTube due to that anti-muslim video? I'm in Bangladesh- and YouTube has been banned here for over a week now- and hence in some messed-up freaky way this is conflicting with other Google services like play and gmail I still don't understand it- but there's nothing I could do but to wait till the ban is uplifted. I could now access gmail and gplay on my pc - but they load very slowly- and gmail always show a ''connection failed'' error after a while- but thankfully gives me some time to quickly read my emails. This sucks indeed I wasn't really bothered when I learnt they're banning YouTube in my place- but just cannot deal without gmail and play on my phone!!
Is Youtube banned in your country? If so this is the same issue that many others are facing! Please confirm!!!
sync is not working for me either :S [ICS]

Yup same here: Google syncing fine now but still no YouTube.
So, my gallery app is so slow that it is almost unusable. If I open it, I get a bunch of blank boxes that take forever to populate. I think it has something to do with me checking 'sync picasa', 'sync facebook', etc. options when I setup the phone. Can somebody tell me how to unsync these galleries? I went to the Facebook account settings and unchecked sync pictures, but I still have a bunch of albums and it's crazy slow.
Any ideas?
the picasa sync option is in your google account section of the menu.

Yeah, I already ended up unchecking the sync pictures boxes for Facebook and for Picasa. But the albums are still there in gallery. Maybe I should clear data for gallery or something?
the blank boxes... do they every populate?

After waiting a while, and they have the picasa and facebook icons. So it's still pulling my galleries off the web, even though it is no longer synced. I also wiped the gallery app data, and they are still there. I think that is why the app is so freaking slow for me.
you could try uninstalling facebook and try running a 3rd party facebook app. I personally can't stand the stock facebook app for crap like this and the way its always running.
as far as picasa, if you use it, i'm not sure what else could be done. if you dont't use it, you can remove a lot of its functions via the pc. and that would clear that up.
I have a tip for you OP.
Turn off Wifi then try using your Gallery.
Not really a solution for the stock gallery but I've used Quickpic for as long as I can remember and it's always fast, reliable, and no sync issues to deal with. Currently I use that for normal picture management and use the stock gallery in the rare instance I need Picasa or Facebook photos synced.
Yeah I have found I have this issue if I am connected to wifi at my house.. I know the reason too. Looks like the phone is trying to connect to my networks dlna server (plex) which for whatever reason it is unable to do.. I just removed allshare and the problem is gone.. you can either rename the three or so files in your app dir (if you have root) or you can install a ROM as most of them give you an option to not install allshare.
