so i have noticed something weird..
my GF's b-day is this friday (4-20). when she happend to call me earlier today i noticed on her contact picture there was a small birthday cake icon and text that said "tomorrow".
today being 4-18 and her birthday not until 2 days from now i wondered what was going on. so i went to the contact app and tried to verify her birthday, only i couldnt find a field to set her birthday. failing that, i went to the calendar app and it says, and has an event marked on 4-20 for her birthday.
has anyone else noticed this on their phones? the contact notification reports 1 day earlier than supposed to? i have verified that the contact information is correct in exchange. i dont sync contacts with any other service other than exchange, i do howerver sync with multiple exchange accounts.
edit> the calendar entry is probably from exchange but i cant be sure, which may indicate why it is set correctly on the calendar app.
i have searched google and noticed the same complaint (although much older complaints) but most of those people were syncing with facebook *shrugs*

Care to tell us which ROM you are using?
I had a similar experience on mine but it wasnt limited to birthdays. An event would show up a day earlier or later (I cant remember).
Last week or so, I randomly came across an article that said there had been a bug on some samsung phones that caused this issue when an event was added to the calendar as an "all day event." or birthdays now, I add it to the individual contact and it shows up in the calendar without this issue.

The best app that I've had for Facebook Chat is GO!Chat.
I can't believe that the sync still doesn't work on the SGS. The built in one sucks and doesn't give you the option to sync to only "existing contacts", and the facebook one doesn't work at all.

thats the thing, you are selecting the "Facebook friends" you want to sync, i want to select the contacts that I want to sync with facebook. and I want it to sync any of my contacts with facebook so only people that are in my contacts are actually synced. I dont want contacts added because they are my friend on facebook. and i dont want to do it manually. i really only want to sync their photo, i couldn't care less about what they have to say on facebook

The official one. I worked fine when i got the phone, I rooted, rebooted and has never worked since!!
This app (imo) just keeps getting worse. It used to work fine with limitations but now there's a lot of force closes. Still no chat. Don't get me wrong, I do not chat on Facebook. As a matter of fact, I stay offline at all times. However, there is no reason why this app shouldn't have it. Is Android really that much harder to develop for than the iPhone?
So I got the evo 3d and it was working fine until recently. its quite annoying of an issue. every time i delete all my sms threads, they keep reappearing in the phone. i could delete all of them and then put the phone down, and i get messages i've had on my phone from weeks ago. i factory reset my phone and unchecked the google back up portion and i still have this problem. i'm logged into htc hub, watch, my gmail, twitter and facebook account and skype. i've uninstalled look out security , i didnt do any backups besides that look out and that google back up thing. i cant seem to make these sms stop coming on the phone.
any fix to this or is anyone else having a problem???
i'm guessing it has to do with my google gmail account but i cant find any sms portion in gmail. i have all my contacts synced with gmail and i never had this problem on my evo 4g.
I'm almost 99% sure it has to do with HTC hub, go to htcsense.com and sign in with you HTC sense account and you will see those sms you speak of I bet ya
i didnt even know about that site. . but i'm on it now, it says its syncing for the first time. but no place to see the sms's although i did hit the ring button and it played my ringtone on my phone. .
soon as it sync's up i'll see. .
i kept deleting the messages from my phone and so far none have popped back up. and i'm just deleting all the sms's i get to keep it no messages on the phone to test it out.
went to privacy and unchecked the back up thing, and checked it back up. thought that would have made a difference but it didnt. . waiting for it to sync on that site and will post reply again. .
THANK YOU , your reply was greatly appreciated
seems after a while several more sms's popped up . . this htc sense site needs to hurry up, is there somewhere i should look for the sms thing cuz all i see is a big box with the message stating its syncing may take several hours and then i get the greyed out forward calls and messages etc. .nothin about sms unless its the messages thing but not selectable at the moment

Yeah no problem and just to let you le about privacy and backup that's from Google , and it backups your download apps the way next time you get a Google phone it will know you had those apps and download them again on your future device , and if you don't way HTC.sense just go to settings / accounts and sync and you will see HTC sense on there

Well I got it set up since the first port for the EVO so idk what's going on, it didn't.take time.at all in mine that I remember
my page doesnt look like your page. . idk why. . it doesnt have the menus up top.
I'm receiving emails just fine to my phone for my ntlworld email address, in fact, they get to my phone before they are received on my pc which is normally a few moments later. But when I send emails, it says 'sending..' then disappears so I'd assume it's sent but none of my sent emails appear in my phone's sent folder, the folder is blank and always has been. Also, I sent a test email to myself, to my ntlworld account, same thing, nothing showing in sent folder, and it hasn't arrived as email on my pc. I sent it hours ago, so it's not sending. What could be wrong?
What email client are you using, Stock or else? Try to check the Outgoing server setting, must be something messed up there.
Regards.

When I press 'Incoming settings' it goes to a screen showing my 'User name' which is my ntlworld.com email address, and 'Password', and when I click 'Next' which is the only option to press, it goes to a screen saying 'Retrieving account information...' then goes back to the Account settings screen.
Man then your email server mustn't support IMAP/POP3, but what would it support then, lol? There HAS to be an Outgoing Settings option, otherwise it's quite normal that email's are not being sent. Hope you find your answer by someone experienced else.

It seems virgin media who my ntlworld email address is with, doesn't support sending emails, or didn't used to and it would seem, still don't.
http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Email/Unable-to-Access-NTLWorld-emails-on-iPhone/td-p/3575
I think I've found the solution
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=646856
I need to do:
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.t-email.co.uk
But, I can't seem to find where to adjust my settings? Maybe I need to delete my email account for ntlworld and start again?
try removing you account and setting it up with manuel settings...

Ye did that, and tried both smtp.t-email.co.uk and smtp.ntlworld.com on different port numbers but it won't work, says 'server does not support authentication'. I tried it with pop3 and also imap. It seems ok for incoming, just not for smtp.
So I've now set up my gmail email on the phone with the automatic settings and not the manual settings, and it lets me send emails which is great. But how do I now associate my ntlworld account with it so I can forward all mail received at the gmail account to my ntlworld account? Do I need to delete the gmail account and set it up again using manual settings, and with imap or pop3? Currently, I have both my ntlworld email account still on the phone and the gmail account. I can still receive email to my ntlworld account.
I read this on android forum:
"Had to set up a separate gmail account to send and using the smtp.gmail.com server. Then simply go into the gmail account settings (which u have to anyway to enable IMAP) and forward all mail received at the gmail account to your ntlworld account..a pain but easy way round the problem.
Forwarding covers the problem of recipients replying to your gmail emails; which obviously is the address they receive the message from.
You wont receive replies from them directly to your ntlworld address. They'll go to the gmail account. Set up forwarding on gmail to ntlworld address to resolve it."
So I have one particular contact that always causes "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly please try again [Force Close]" no matter how I get to it. I have a shortcut on my screen that crashes immediately.
If I enter the Contact app and click on the offending contact no information comes up, it just says "No additional Information for this contact" then the force close window pops up.
So this seems like a minor problem except the offending contact is my wife.
And here's where it gets strange. If I go look at her contact on my pc (in gmail) it all looks fine, It has 1st name last name, her picture, 2 phone numbers (mobile and work), 3 email addresses, birthday, anniversary, and google talk id.
So I delete the contact from Gmail, and refresh my phone. I create a new contact with her name and it immediately begins crashing again. If I create a new contact under a different name with her information it works fine.
As a last ditch effort I restored the phone to factory settings, and deleted her contact out of Gmail.
With a clean phone and no remains of the contact that I know of, I created a contact called "Test Wife" entered her information and everything worked fine. Renamed it to my wifes name and bam it starts crashing again.
I'm so lost. There has to be something in either android or gmail holding on to a corrupt version of her contact. I just cant figure out what. Any Thoughts?
I'm running Unnamed 1.2

Ok, so I think I figured it out. It has to do with her contact info in Twitter. If I go into twitter and tell it not to sync contact info then all works correctly.
Well that's no fun. I was hoping for a glitch that'd be fun to mess with.

I've experienced the same problem when syncing with linkedin and facebook. I had to tell android to not sync both of these in order to keep my contact records 'clean' and not force a crash.
I just ran into it again on a different contact when skype tried to sync contact info.
This same thing is happening to me when I go to edit a contact or add a new contact
But i'm not syncing with anything (maybe google?)
How would this prohibit new contacts and/or editing a current contact?
how do I fix this?

It might be helpful if ya'll pulled and posted logcats so any dev who looks at this thread might be able to tell you what's breaking.
I really don't know why it isn't a requirement to post a logcat when somebody posts "I has a crash".
Thank jeebus for the search! I too was having trouble with contacts tab causing FC, and Facebook sync was the culprit. Sadly, I probably never would have thought it was something that simple...
So I recently returned to android after about a year's absence.
I was hoping this issue with google voice had been worked out, especially as I am about to do a full convert/port to google voice. I searched a bit but couldnt find an answer.
So the same contact will text me but often times google voice will create multiple threads making it very annoying to sift through them on the Voice SMS Inbox. It does this also on my browser window. Its not 100% of the time, but almost seems like if its a text on another day, another thread is made. Is there a way to fix this or merge the threads under the same contact?
Any ideas? I also posted on the google forums so if I find an answer I will keep everyone apprised because Im sure others have had this issue.
Thanks!
Here is a screenshot of what I mean (see the multiple threads from the same person "rachael").. Surely someone else out there has experienced it and knows what to do..
I have read some people just archive the old texts, which I guess is a decent temporary fix. One friend with an iPhone uses several apps to work it out, but they arent on android. Seems old this problem can be remedied on the iPhone but not the Google android OS.

I'm also having this issue. Someone told me that emptying your texts and inbox solved the issue for them. It had something to do with a bug in google voice for older accounts that was fixed for new accounts going forward. Maybe that may solve your problem. Another thing you could look into is using Talkatone. It manages your Google Voice SMS too.

gosh I'd hate to delete everything in the inbox, but maybe if that will fix it..
I have had the gvoice account for several years, i might create a new one and see if that fixes it or something.
Let me know what you find out, if cleaning out your box works.
Before you do that try downloading and installing Talkatone. Talkatone manages your Google Voice texts too.
Thanks.
Hmm I had tried talkatone a few months ago and it didnt work as well as sipdroid with my setup for voip.
Maybe I will give a second chance. Also the issue would still persist on google voice in browser right?
UPDATE:
I started a new google voice number with a different gmail but the same problem persists.. Quite annoying
3-4 months going and still this unbelievably annoying issue.. Im surprised more google voice users out there arent tearing their hair out.. I have submitted feedback and suggestions several times to google..
Gawwwwwwww
I have the same issue, and yes it's annoying when trying to find old texts, but as a workaround, I forward all GV texts to my regular number. The stock messaging app doesn't have this issue. This might not work though if GV is your only number.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G
Thanks. I have thought about that (through google integration apps) but I send at least 50% of my texts from the browser on my computer and I think if I forwarded all the texts to stock messaging if I were to send a text it would not sync it with the browser?
If thats not an issue please go into more detail as i would be interested in forwarding the texts to the stock app..
When you forward to your stock app, all your messages come from different numbers. When you text those specific numbers, it goes through GV and is synced with your GV app and browser.Give it a shot, if it doesn't work, you can always set it back :thumbup:

Agree.. So aggrivating. I thought with the latest google voice update it seemed to fix it because I had a few day old replies stay in the same thread but then it happened again later.. Grrrr
Same problem
Yes. I have had the same problem with the multiple threads. Its a big pain. That and my outgoing call log that shows the number i dialed and the GV proxy number. WIsh there is a way to hide that proxy number as well as consolidate the text messages.
