[Q] + Buddy and contacts bug? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I assign contacts to the buddy widget after a while they just disappear, when this happens if I look at my texts it's just the number that shows not the contact name.
This happening to anyone else and is there a fix?

What firmware are you on?

Litening 6.1

Mee too, and with 2.1vs and others same problem.

This didn't happen to me until I "upgraded" to 2.3.5.
Before that, on 2.3.2, everything was fine with the +Buddy widgets.

Did you use 2.3.4 and if so what rom did you use, i had same problem on 2.3.5
and 2.3.4

Same to me since 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 upgrade.

I guess by the fact no one has replied its a known issue that can not be resolved.

I had the same issue on 2.3.5 it gone when I start using phone contacts only and I removed google synchronized contacts.
When I had phone and google synchronized contacts and when I checked gmail email by gmail application contacts disappeared. So far one day without issue, gmail checked few times.

[Q] Facebook Sync

Alright, in the past few days, I have been running into the same issue. An issue I have never had before.
When I try to sync my Facebook Contacts it is able to sync my calendar, but after trying to sync my contacts it says:
"Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly."
This only happens with MY account. I put in my sister's and dad's accounts, and they synced up perfectly.
I have never had this issue before.
I have tried EVERYTHING in the book to solve it.
This problem occurs on any ROM I use (Froyo and Eclair, but I am currently on Macnut). I have ODINed to stock, and the problem is still there, even on bone stock.
I tried going onto my account and uninstalling the Samsung Mobile application and the Facebook for Android Application, ODINed to stock, tried logging in/syncing but I still received the "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will
be back shortly."
I tried deactivating my account and reactivating, changing my password, my email - still no change.
When I go to my contacts, the activities feed of my Facebook shows up perfectly, with pictures an all.
This thing is stumping me big time. My FB contacts are vital to me, and it's bothering the **** out of me.
Anyone have words of enlightenment?
Come on help me out here guys.

Lemme get this straight, you're using the built in facebook contacts thing right? From contacts > updates which will prompt you to log in?
If its not working try deleting your account off of it and putting it back in
Of course could be a sever issue as well

i got same problem
Google disabled Facebook integration in their stock messaging app. This is working as intended. Use Go SMS Pro if you want Facebook integration back.
If you want to stay with the regular mess app best thing to do is flash fresh sbf go in set up your facebook account under accounts and also let your gmail sync let it fully finish then do the whole root process i finally got it down cause thats one thing that drove me crazy. But im back using go sms cause its alot better i think

[Q] Exchange 2003 -> Android 2.3.5 Calendar sync problems

Hi there,
After having posted earlier about the sync problems here, I would like to find out what is causing the problem.
I have done a lot of flashing lately and am pretty sure it must be either the Calendar/Agenda or the Sync program in Android 2.3.5 that's causing the problems (not sync-ing edited items made on the Exchange/Outlook client side).
Other clients, when installed on the phone, like TouchDown for Exchange, synchronizing everything fine.
My first question would be:
Has the Activesync program on the phone been updated from Android 2.3.4 to 2.3.5?
For, if not, it must be the Calendar/Agenda app that needs to be at the origin of the problems.
Can anyone confirm this?
The other question would be:
Depending on the answer on the first question, could either the sync or the Calendar/Agenda from 2.3.4 be ported to 2.3.5?
I'll gladly be willing to test. I have tried myself to replace the apps, but I don't seem to be able to find the appropriate files.
Anyone any help?
Regards,
Solved by updating to CM7 Android 2.3.7
Hi there,
Problem has been solved for me by updating to VictoryMod 2.1 (based on CM7) which is running Android 2.3.7.
Regards,
I have the same problem with google calendar sync. I have had it since I changed to 2.3.5 JVT and it's still here after changing to 2.3.5 JVU on Galaxy S. Is there a way to fix this without changing the entire rom?
I have also the same problem with GSII but I can't upload another rom, it's a company phone.
Is there anyway to have it working on GSII?
Thx, David
Exchange sync has always been iffy for me. I eliminated the problem using Google Calendar on the phone and using G-Syncit with Outlook to keep my desktop sync'd with Google. It isn't as elegant as using Exchange exclusively, but it has been flawless.
I guess it will work until I can get over the fear of migrating the Exchange Server to Google Mail.

E-mails not showing as read using hotmail

Hey all,
I recently upgraded to ICS on my samsung galaxy SII using KIES. Since the update i cannot get the stock e-mail client to show my hotmail e-mails as read on other devices.
For example, when on GB if i read an e-mail on the phone while i was out, and then checked my e-mail on my computer when i got back home. The e-mail would show as read on both devices.
But since ICS the e-mail only shows as read on the phone, is there any way to change the settings so that it works the same as it did on GB?
All other e-mail/calender/contact syncing works correctly as does sending/recieving and deleting e-mails. It is only the read massages that seems to be an issue.
My phone is not rooted and is XEU model running 4.0.3 XLPS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
I had the same problem using email configured through Samsung sns.
I ended up using the exchange (push) option during setup. Once setup, goto menu / settings / tap your account / scroll down to "in case of conflict......" and change to "....... update to server"
Works for me.

Thank you for your suggestion UpInTheAir, i have tried this on my phone but i am still getting the same results :-( Do you have any other ideas?
I haven't used K9 email from Google Play since Froyo days on the HTC. You could check it out and see if that's working. The only other thing I can come up with is trying another firmware or custom ROM.
Ok, just rechecked myself. Seems to be intermittent!
I had some showing up as thread as well. I increased from 3 days to 1 month sync andlet it reload the app inbox, selected the first unread and refreshed my html email.worked, showing the previous unread message as read. Now I read another unread and or doesn't work. When back to 3 days sync and didn't work.
Bummer, just wonder if this is for just hotmail account or other. Will have to search XDA and Google to see about this bug, surely the question had been asked somewhere before?
Edit : tried a couple of modded email apks but no good.
Tried official Hotmail app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7
Any changes to inbox seem to work and will show up on the Web inbox within a few minutes. Emptying the trash folder doesn't sync with the server though. Also don't know if it's a battery hog and causes wakelocks etc. yet.

OK the answer:
A modded Google ICS email works prefectly.

[Q] Why samsung stock email app is so slow

I'm running on CF-Root + Siyah 1.2.6 kernel + stock ROM (+ modified NFC_screen off). ROM is XXLE8.
I've been using the stock email since the begining (with only root & stock rom) with 3 Exchange accounts synced.
Email app is taking forever to launch. Navigation in email app is laggy.
Whenever I want to move emails to subfolders, it takes ages to get the whole list.
I'm still running a Samsung Captivate Glide (Rogers ROM, root, OC @1.3GHz) with Android 2.3.5 : email stock app synced with these 3 exhange email accounts: it is clearly faster, no latency at all.
Even when it comes to load the same subfolders to move emails ...
Right now, it is really the worse "email user experience" I had.
Thought ICS would do better than that. :-(
Anybody else experiencing this ?
Is there any tweaks to make this app much, much faster ...
Is there a way to replace this "Samsung stock email app" (I guess) with the standard ICS one (only if it is faster) ?
Thanks
i have noticed none of the problems you experied with the email app. though i am only using it with one account synced. The app launches instandly and never lags or something similar, try removing 2 of your accounts and see if the problem is still there. its the only thing i can think of now, if the problem persists maybe another app you installed interferes with the email app and causes problems or...?

I removed one account ...same. Slow as "usual".
I remoed 2 accounts (only one left) ... same.
I wiped the whole device. Reset to factory defaults.
Loaded one Exchange account: email app was definitely faster.
Added a second one (Exchange) ... started to get slow ... Not as slow as it was, but slower.
Found a thread mentionning a way to replace Samsung stock email app with ICS email app. Going to try that...
Same very annoying problem here.
Any chance to get the stock nexus email apk here?
