Is anyone else having an issue where the Motoblur Facebook functionality doesn't actually work? It won't import/match up contacts at all and doesn't even show any information under the social networking app. It will, after a few hours, notify me on unread messages, but that's it.
If you are having this issue, has anyone found a fix for it?
Running official Gingerbread.
Had the same prob with darkside rom till I flashed the blur fix since your saying your using stock I don't understand

It confuses me, too. Yesterday, on one attempt, it actually added 9 Facebook contacts before stopping. Every other attempt has resulted in complete failure. Oddly enough, I can still post statuses to Facebook with the Social Networking app when the account is added, so it's definitely working to some degree.

Hi everyone, total noob here. I have been unable to attach photos to email using the yahoo app on my vibrant. It says it's attached, but never actually sends the pic. It works fine in gmail. Anyone else have this problem. Is this just a problem with the app, or related to the phone? Yahoo, also only sporadically sends me notifications of new emails, and often they are a day late.
Thanks
Mine does this too. It maybe that the files are too large, or at least thats what I suspect. I havent found a work around yet. I was considering a pic shrinking app to try that. Just havnt made it around to it yet. I'm too busy trying to figure out this Android Debug Bridge deal. I cant get it to work on the computer. Damn windows!
yeah I would think it might be the file size as well, except that gmail has no problem sending the same file.
Try K9 mail, I use it fire all my email needs. It even works for a regular hotmail account. NOTE: I don't think push works for Yahoo.

Update,
If anyone still care's, I've been using mail droid lately from the market. So far so good. Its free. It downloads and sends pics. And also pushes e-mail notifications instantly, just like my old crack berry! I was actually starting to miss that. Fyi guys.

I myself have used K9 and have many issues not getting my mail, freezing, tried uninstalling but the same problem
Any other mail programs worth using?
anyone else here use go sms? i can't figure out why, but for the contact pictures, it's pulling everyones picture from their google picture i have on there (which was from syncmypix like MONTHS ago, so they're all outdated)
i have checked "pull pictures from facebook" and have checked email, name and number..and it doesn't work. this worked correctly on my incredible, and it was able to pull their facebook images in gosms fine...won't work with the rezound.
anyone else have any insight? i'm wondering if it's because they got rid of Facebook for HTC Sense and only use the facebook app for syncing now :\
Mine has Display Facebook avatars checked and I have it Match by Name. It seems to prefer facebook avatars over what are in my google contacts. Not sure if any of that helps you :/
wtf mines opposite, it shows google pics over facebook, which is really annoying lol
Mines the same, if I have any Google photos, it shows those instead of Facebook. Where as it shows Facebook on GO Contacts. No matter how I configure the settings. It's weird. Lol.
I had this same issue. What I found out, is the official Facebook app does not support access to the friend photos by third party apps. That's why it uses the google contact photo instead.
The older phones had Facebook for HTC Sense, that obviously is not the official facebook app so it allowed third party access to the photos. I have run into the same issue with SMS popup. Try using Friend Caster to sync facebook photos to your contacts, that'll allow third party apps to access the photos.
I just deleted google photos and it defaulted to the Facebook ones

i cant confirm this works but i have heard it works..

let me know if it does
guys, great responses!
i didn't know friendcaster replaced facebook in terms of contact pics..i tried using it once and didn't really like it's UI.
as for that script, i'm going to run that tomorrow. i'm perm rooted, so he says you should just be able to push some lines of code to get it to work. great find, guys!!
I'm a huge fan of GoSMS, its definitely the best out of the third party sms apps on the Android market!
Handcent on the other hand seems to display up to date contact pictures. Which does it take from though, Google contacts or the Facebook app?
So basically GoSMS previously synced pictures from HTC Sense's Facebook, but now in Sense 3.5 it no longer exists being replaced by the offical Facebook app which doesn't allow access by 3rd party apps :/

I know this thread has been quiet for a couple weeks, but just wanted to confirm that did indeed do the trick. I use Handcent normally, but I did download Go SMS real quick to test and that showed my contact pictures again too.
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.

Your problem is soved with root here
OK the answer:
A modded Google ICS email works prefectly.

Might try wanam's hacked LP8 stock email

But of course you'll need root
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?
Hey all, the past few days my Facebook Live Feed Sync, has been "running continuously" and seemingly not getting anywhere, also facebook calendar (which I don't use) when enabled would just 'fail'. I've noticed facebook has tried to make me re-authorize a bunch, and re-setup sync. But it keeps happening, I have to disable the sync for my phone to even get a chance to go to sleep.
I'm wondering if it's a bug related to facebooks news oAuth having timelimits now, and not properly reauthorizing the htc facebook app.
Just throwing it out there to see if anyone else has seen an issue.
I've been having problems with it today on my phone. It's working fine on my tablet.
On a possibly related note my battery drained in about 7.5 hours yesterday so I disabled Facebook sync and gmail sync just to see. Now, I've been using the phone less since then (and the battery will die again soon) but I'm on about 21 hours right now. I'm thinking Facebook sync may have had had a lot to do with that since I reenabled gmail a few hours ago.
Then again, that could be a coincidence... But the app has been having issues.

Yeah. Something is definitely up.... I deleted it, wiped both the cache and dalvik and disabled htc facebook apk. I'm keep an eye on it.
