It seems like my sgsII has two programs accessing my gmail. The first is a gmail app, the second is Social Hub. I end up getting notifications from both of them in the status bar. How can I shut one of them off?
Whenever I try, I end up getting messages about needing to reset the phone to remove my gmail account. I don't want to do that, but I can't get one of these email programs to shut up.
If you're rooted, you can use TitaniumBackup to freeze Social Hub. That's what I did, and there's no ill effects.
Very nice. That did the trick. Thanks!

Newbie here, I searched but sorry if this has come up before.
The 3d is my first Android phone - came from Palm Pre minus hell.
How on Earth do you turn off the sound and LED notification of every email / SMS / etc?
I've got the notifications turned off in the Mail app for each of my two accounts, but still get the BLLLIP every frickin' couple minutes.
Thanks!

use volume-down until it's on vibrate
you configure notifications from a given app from the app itself. so when you're in the main scene of an app, hit the menu key & look for Settings>Notifications.

Thanks, but I've already done that. Still get the notifications.
Calendar
I've also noticed that you can't turn on notifications but have vibrate off for the calendar events. I think this is a sense 3.0 thing, as you could do it on the EVO 4G and could do it in some custom sense 2.1 ROMs I ran. Kingdom ROM (sense 3.0) had the same issue. Wish they'd put that back in.
If you're using Gmail under settings there is an option that will only notify you once for unread emails. Once you check your mail and get new messages it'll notify once again for the next new message until you check it.
As for SMS the default app either notifies you on each app or none at all. I checked Go SMS Pro but they don't have an option that only notifies you once like Gmail does.
Edit: I had the Pre minus too, and in Android the main thing is that you use the menu button pretty much the same way in the Pre you hit the upper left corner to get the programs menu.
Thanks
Well, I'm either dumber than usual, or something is wrong.
On the page in Mail settings under "Notifications", "Email Notifications" is un-checked and set to "Off". Still get the frickin' bleep an flashing green LED on every single email.
Not sure what else I can do.
Do you have a gmail or other account. If it's a gmail account when you setup your phone by default your gmail is in the gmail app. If you setup your gmail account in the email app remove it from there and only deal with it in one place which the gmail app is the best place for it.

Aha! I was using an app labeled "Mail" which was on the first page of the home screen (or whatever the proper term is), NOT the "Gmail" app . The Gmail app also has Notification settings. How confusing.
That took care of it. Thanks a bunch!
Please understand, I DO NOT WANT TO SYNC MY CONTACTS WITH FACEBOOK!
It totally messes up the sync, puts wrong info with the wrong people, etc.
So I go to settings/Accounts and Sync, select Facebook and turn off Sync Contacts. Then I delete all the garbage and the mess Facebook has made of my contacts, use MyPhone Explorer to force Outlook to my Contacts and all is well until.... a reboot will somehow turn it back on! I'll get the message in the notification bar about linked contacts, click NO! HELL NO! and then go look at Settings/Accounts and Sync and the Sync Contacts is back on. Sometimes I catch it before any notifications have come up, sometimes I catch it before it's messed up my Contacts but not always.....
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is the 4th Android phone that's had this bug! I've run stock ROMS, Froyo Roms, Gingerbread Roms, currently running rooted with a Gingerbread Rom. it doesn't happen with a BlackBerry or WinMo device, it doesn't happen with Google contacts so it's not the phone, it's not the Android version, it's not T-Mobile or VZW, it's a fault of Facebook or the Android Facebook app, how can I fix it?
Or am I the only one with the problem?
Did that for me to with an older version of fb. I deleted HTCfb with TB, and fb, then installed fb from the market, now it only has one synced option instead of like 5 or whatever it was before, and if I unchecked it it stays that way on reboot. I also deleated a ton of other stuff off my phone with TB that I don't use, so im not sure if something else may have helped that.

Thanks, I may have it handled. Maybe.... I left the sync box checked, deleted the categories Facebook had mis created in my Contacts list. I've rebooted several times and all seems to be well. Initially I had to dismiss a couple of paired suggestions but no more have popped up.
I'll delete the HTC Facebook and the Friendstream app if it continues to mess up.
Yea, I deleted all that crap, and backup manager, news, stocks, mms, tell HTC... Everything I don't use on a daily basis, and its much better now, not so much clutter and things trying to connect or hog recources and drain my batt, lol

ok, i'm not normally one to have trouble with issues such as these, but this is my first android phone (htc evo 3d) and when i first got it on launch date, i manually entered all my contacts from my old phone to my new one. well i recently went through the root process and read that if you had your gmail account as the primary google account, that you wouldnt have to worry about your contacts anymore, after a wipe or changing to a new phone.
well after root i let the phone do all the gmail syncing after enabling it, and my contacts are still not there. i am having trouble getting into an option that will let me view or add or edit contacts from google. i go into accounts and sync, click my google account but all it will let me do is enable or disable the syncing of contacts. can someone give me a brief rundown of exactly how this works? and are my contacts all gone?
It works pretty much the way you described it; once you have the contacts in your phone you sync and they all get saved to your default gmail account. Then when/if you decide to wipe, you run sync again and they'll be uploaded to your phone.
This is what I'd do if I were you;
- Open gmail -> contacts and check if they are actually there.
- If your contacts are there, then maybe you don't have them set to shown in your phone display options under contacts.
thanks for the quick reply. when you say to open gmail, do you mean through the accounts and sync settings menu? or the gmail app? when i go through the accounts and sync, i just get the option of turning the syncing for each category (i.e. contacts, weather, news) on or off, i cant actually go into each one to see what they are comprised of. i feel pretty dumb not being able to figure this out, but i had over 100 peoples numbers and information on my contacts before i wiped and rooted my phone, so i'm willing to accept sounding like a noob in hopes of possibly getting them back.
thanks again in advance.
No problem at all No, I meant open it on your computer (http://www.google.com/contacts) and see if there are any in there.
Regarding display options; I don't know which phone you're using, but you get there by opening Contacts -> Display Options on my LG (http://www.shrani.si/f/30/1s/1KBZD0Ot/screenshot-1314442655693.png a screenshot of how it might look like if it's of any help)
I really like my Rezound but it seems like the built-in task killer is killing off all of my apps that need sync and/or push notifications. I saw that the OTA update was set to fix that it was killing off email syncs, and it did fix that, my email app syncs all the time now.
However, my facebook widget, facebook messenger app, yahoo messenger app, yahoo mail app; they work fine for about 8-10 hours, then after that they just dont update anymore at all. When a new email hits my yahoo account, it stops getting push notifications, when someone sends me a new facebook message, my facebook messenger app doesnt get the notification, etc. This really sucks. The only way I've been able to get them to work again is, every morning after waking up, I have to power down and restart the phone 2 or 3 times to get them all back working. But usually by the end of my day, they've all stopped again.
Any ideas?
Bump
Anybody experience this too?
Do you mean the HTC power management scheme? Because I don't remember a task-killer being installed.. Forgive me if there is because I haven't seen stock since about a week after I got the phone. Maybe try setting the power management to performance mode and grabbing an app like Juice Defender that's a bit more customizable.
To piggyback on what MrSmith said (speaking from personal experience), if your battery gets to the point where your phone goes into power save mode, background data and/or auto sync may be turning off, and it doesn't always turn back on.

Mine is in Performance mode. Gingerbread comes with a task manager built in. One of the big issues that the OTA update fixed was the fact that the built-in task manager was killing off the email sync in the background (according to the official description of the update).
I'm assuming that the task manager is auto-killing a lot of stuff as well too. My facebook widget almost never updates after a few hours after rebooting.
I'm still on 100% stock. I guess at some point I'll unlock the bootloader, root it, and go with a new ROM. I'm not real familiar with the process for doing that with an HTC. I came from the Samsung Galaxy S world. It was so much easier to root and switch ROMs, etc.
I just got the Rezound, stock. I can't stop facebook from wanting to sync with my calender and phone book. I delete it under accounts/sync and when I check back, it is there again. I also get a "auth htc sense to acces facebook" notification alot. I don't want face book to sync with anything on my phone and I can't get it to stop. It's driving me crazy. On my incredible, just deleted facebook under accounts/sync and no issues. Also under people on the pulldown, face book is unchecked and also I stopped the sync for face book too. But all the face book stuff is present in my phone. I've also been reading there are two types of facebook, regular facebook and facebook for sense, whatever that means. Please help
did you also turn off syncing within the facebook app itself?
also, try leaving the account there in the accounts and sync settings, but click it and uncheck everything, see if that'll work. may still have to change the people and calender settings to not show FB stuff also, but may stop it.
but sounds rather wonky, may be worth clearing data/cache of the app, then uninstalling and reinstalling.
There really isn't a "Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense." One is just the FB app, while the other is the Sense integration of FB, such as the widgets, uploads, and sycning, that don't actually require the app to be installed.
