Facebook Pictures - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the new facebook app but for some reason i dont see any pictures, just gray squares, this happens on both the app and the stock browser and dolphin browser.
I have cleared Data and Cache, and it helped a little bit, i now can see the persons default pic but as for photos they have posted i still get gray squares.
does any one else have this issue? or know how to fix it?

No one else has this problem?

Yeah, I've been seeing the same thing. On my device, though, the problem only shows up when using the T-Mobile network; everything looks fine via WiFi.

It might be that your using too much data on your plan. If your not on an unlimited plan, expect those gray boxes

I just applied the latest Flash update and that fixed it.

Stock Messaging app issue

My contact pictures stopped showing up in the Evo 3D messaging app. Any way to get them to display again?
Mine did too starting yesterday. Flashed different roms and all. Not sure what happened. I just downloaded syncmypix from the market and it synced them fine.

Stock browser vs Chrome Beta

Which one do you guys prefer? I am curious to hear everyone's input.
I prefer chrome beta. Nice to have my bookmarks synced to my phone. Is also pretty quick and I like tab management.

Not impressed by both .....but I use HTC browser
Download ics browser+ it's an enhanced version of the stock ics browser

Is chrome any slower than stock?
Also how do you set chrome as default for Search , links, etc? I've tried clearing defaults for the stock internet app, but it doesn't work.

I use Chrome on my 3D and love it. I do however still keep the stock browser for flash links.
Also can anyone confirm if there are any graphical issues with Chrome on the LTE? I had them with my 3D but it could be because the ICS was a leaked ROM.

I haven't had any graphical issue. I just can't seem to figure out how to change the default browser. No matter how many different browser I install, my links and search default to the HTC stock. Just did a factory reset and it didn't seem to help.

If you want to set it as the default you have to go to the new menu. This is the whole reason the phones were delayed. Check this link for pictures and instructions. http://www.pocketables.com/2012/05/how-htc-has-side-stepped-apples-patent-in-the-htc-evo-4g-lte.html

Go to Settings>App Associations>Web URLs Then just pick chrome from the list.

I appreciate the help. Anyway to change the default for google search as well?

I like chrome but the only problem I've had is downloads not showing up in the notification bar until they are completed. I don't get to see any progress. I also can't get the Send Feedback option in settings to work. I tap it and it does nothing.
How do you guys set YouTube as default instead of browser?

I like chrome better than the stock browser, but I like the Firefox Beta even more. Check it out: its extremely quick and full featured. It struggles with flash (but really, you won't use that often anyways), as it's still beta, but every thing else works great.
what am I missing about people liking chrome for Google bookmark syncing? I mean, the stock/HTC browser has all my Google bookmarks synced.

Chrome also syncs open tabs between all your devices and can open more than 6 tabs which is all the stock HTC one can open.

For some reason, my sync shows that Internet sync is broken. I think it is related to the fact that I use Google Authenticator. Plus Chrome just seems to work a little nicer in regards to basic operation.

[UPDATED] Skydrive and Dropbox

SEE POST 4 FOR MY SMALL RESERARCH AND PROBLEMS SOLVED.
I've been trying to find out where this is located on this phone. When I used sense 4 Rom on my rezound it was right there in the accounts and sync. I know it was supposed to be included with sense 4 and all the reviews I see show it on there. Did we get hosed or am I missing something?

I have never seen these included in a stock rom. They are both downloadable from the market though.
While it's not in my list of apps, if you go to the list of apps under Settings -> Apps, there is a listing for 'Dropbox for HTC Sense' and 'HtcDropbox_GLRPlugin'. Can't figure out how to access it. More than likely, it adds on to the Dropbox experience when you download the Dropbox app. I haven't tried it since I don't use Dropbox or any other cloud service.
I haven't downloaded dropbox yet so I will try that.

That is HTC's sense page. I guess only the One X got it....of course. The rezound ICS I believe was part One X so maybe that explains it. Seems a few of the reviews I've seen for this phone showed it as an option, but maybe they just assumed since it was shown as a part of sense. That was an exciting aspect for me because I use it a lot, but it isn't crucial.
As far as using a 3rd party app. I have some photos on there that I would rather not risk a sneaky developer getting his hands on ;c)
EDIT: At the very bottom it says check with provider so see if they offer skydrive on your device. I'm sure that Verizon had their grubby hands in it.
2ND EDIT: Okay, I downloaded dropbox and now it syncs in my albums and shows under accounts and sync. Now if I could only get skydrive working.
FINAL EDIT: I've had no luck on the skydrive integration. It was very nice to have but it also seems that it was removed from the at&t version One X. On a better note I have descovered that ES File Explorer syncs very nice with skydrive and other cloud services.

Thanks for the tip on ES with Skydrive! Been using that ridiculous browser MS recommends. This is soooo much better!

I tried the browser app once before but hated it. I stumbled across the ES thing in another forum.

Gallery Facebook Sync

Does anyone know how to stop the galley from showing Facebook photos without removing Facebook? So far that's the only thing I hate about this phone.

I don't have the HTC One in my hands yet but I am running Sense 5 on my HTC Evo Lte. Open up your gallery and click on the settings button, under the online services you should be able to unselect Facebook so that you don't have a million pictures in your gallery. Hope this helps.
There is currently no way to not have all those annoying FB updates in your gallery on the One. I posted on HTC's FB page about this issue, their response was to press My Gallery. This is the most frustrating thing about this phone. I didn't buy the HTC First because of the FB integration. Essentially this phone has the same downside.

Sms back up issue

I just came here from my gs4 today but I'm having issues trying to restore my sms from the app sms back up. It gave me my call log but with no contacts attached the the calls but it didn't give me a single text message. I've tried it 3 times...it just tells me "13000 duplicates". I just googled it and I guess the back up is placed on my sdcard on my other phone. I just dropped it in and I'm currently waiting to see if this restore will work. Has anyone else done this yet?

Same result after the latest restore. Never had an issue before. Any ideas?

if there is still a problem, go to your local AT&T store... if they have a celibrate machine.. .which 90% of them do, they can transfer sms from one phone to another no problem
I found an option within the phones settings that transfers data from your previous phone to the HTC one. You need to install HTC transfer from the playstore on the old device. Music, photos and bookmarks transfered fine but the texts still didnt. Oh well...at least I got the important stuff. Nice feature BTW
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would think each device has a certain file [email protected] back up files for sms and they are different between the two your trying transfer from...thats prolly the issue....as suggested the store usually can transfer them without an issue
if you are rooted, Try app ops on the play store (by Lars something). Enable it and go to its menu and find your backup app. Then enable write permission
