I've noticed multiple times that some contacts that I've recently added after flashing a ROM never seem to get stored on Google's servers and I lose them after flashing to a new ROM. About 95% of my contacts are usually there but there's always a few that I lose in the process. I've taken to writing these numbers down because I continually lose them. I've never actually tried a manual sync before flashing a ROM, mostly because I never think of it. Even ROMs that I have have running for a week or two will still lose these numbers and it's very annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Do a manual sync before flashing a rom.
I figured that may be it, but should it auto-sync after a certain period of time?

Ladies and Gentlemen, We have a winner! I never realized that it primarily saves it to your phone and not to Google. I'm assuming that this is a Sense option and not something that exists in AOSP since I never remember having this problem with my OG Droid or my Inc that I always ran AOSP on. After I saw this I saved a new number and there it was right in front of my eyes. If it had teeth it would have bitten me in the ass!

Glad I could help. I noticed the option recently when creating a new contact and after some were erased :/
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using XDA
so in my people app i have unchecked the dropdown to show "phone" contacts, and I have it set to only show my google contacts.... when I "add" a person, the "phone" contact is no longer an option and the default is "google"
that should keep you on the right path!

Haha, wow I completely forgot about that feature. They showed it off like it was going to be the next best thing. I wonder what happened to it.
yeah the whole HTCSense.com thing they made a big deal about and i just realized now that I dont show my EVO3D when I log into that site. Used to work fine when it was ported over to the EVO4G.
EDIT:
I deleted my account since I couldn't change the device from the one i created with the EVO4G port rom way back when. When creating a new one I found it odd that they even offer the ability to select the EVO3D as your device but you can't even set it up b/c you need the ability to sign into HTCSense from your device which we can't evidently since its not there in the setup to begin with.....WTF???
Yeah i was thinking about this feature and forgot about it.... Looks like htc did too lol.

yeah thats what im on the original OTA xHausx one posted. They are in the accounts and sync but when you redo setup like htcsense.com asks you to do, you dont get an htcsense.com page to log in.
on a side note im continuing to show there is an update for htcwatch, but ONLY when I view it under the htc hub apps page. I dont have it in the notification pulldown at all and when i select update it updates it fine but whenever i go back to see the app in htc hub it shows theres an update for it.
Keep in mind I dont have anything blocked here and have all the htc/sprint spy stuff still on it since im only on the stockrooted one xhausx originally put up. real odd behavior since it acts fine and says update is there but not in the notification pulldown.
Also noticed i can't connect to the HTC Sense server right now for some reason. opening up HTC Likes app from the app drawer gives me the "unable to connect to the HTC Sense server. please try again later." message. Guess they might be doing work on it b/c i have full connection here fine....would explain why i couldn't get it to work on htcsense.com earlier too i guess.
BUT, i can go to accounts&sync and have HTCSense sync both HUB and Sense fine...
I'm not sure what is OP's question about it. I have offline Navigation on my Rogers EVO 3D. I read that it is a 30-day trial, but I didn't see anything like that when I use it.

Kill your data connection & then open Maps, it works.
Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.

I'm a HEAVY E-mail user with one Exchange account, two IMAP accounts and two GMail accounts synced to my phone. I'm running the latest version of MeanROM which I mostly enjoy but the stock mail.apk applet has been completely overlooked. I'm convinced very few users maintain EAS accounts or bother with the stock app but it's pretty key to me.
It doesn't appear the 1.22.651.3 base or Sense 4.1 did anything to address the oversized font/zoom issue with the stock mail app nor did it fix the "Display Images" button on every message with HTML content. It also broke the ability to display links but that's a different issue altogether.
Which ROMs have addressed the stock mail applet or am I stuck with +20pt fonts on an otherwise gorgeous display?
I know CM10's default email fixes the issue (and bonus--you can flip through your emails without going back to your inbox). Of course, it also forces you to input your pin every time you want to use the phone, but that's a minor bug.
Links inside of emails NEVER worked for me on this phone, even when it was bone stock.
Clickable links in an email (and text messages) on a mobile device is patented by Apple and that may be the reason why they're not working in the stock mail app.
I can't speak with authority, but non-clickable links in email may be an intentional move by HTC to avoid getting sued.

I thought the meanrom had this fix??? I've never had any issues on mine. Then again, I run the stock w/goodies rom; 1.78 to be exact. I've had nothing but good luck with my email; even with meanrom.
Mikey just put up MeanRom 3.8 and I think he might have fixed these issues. Download it and try it.

Or use K-9 email because it's amazing and by far the best email app in existence.

Thanks for the notice-- I tried it and found no difference to mail. Links are still disabled in plain-text formatted E-mails and the too-large font issue remains. IMAP accounts don't auto-sync either.

I feel your pain.
Unfortunately you might just have to go with CM10, if this is you use Mail on your phone this much. The one feature lacking from the CM10 version is the inability to set an update schedule. But everything else is at least comparable.
And, just like with the Sense version, there is a version that bypasses Exchange security so you don't have to use a PIN to unlock your phone every time.
+1 on CM10
Thanks for the responses. I'm surprised few ROMs seem to address this. I'm going to try Stock w/ Goodies or CM10 next... Are there any glaring issues to look out for?

Have you used K9 mail? The logo is stupid but the app is amazing. It always is on top of "best email app" lists. Give that a shot before changing ROMs just for the sake of the email app.
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I thought about K-9 but that was back when it still had the Gingerbread UI. I still do.t think I should have to maintain a third party app for basic functionality that HTC borked from the factory.
Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet? Or will I just need to find a new mail app?

Hi all. Does anybody know how to fix this issue? It's driving my girl crazy.
She gets a picture MMS, views it, and then hits the 'back' button to go back to her messages. But instead of going back to her messages, it opens the Gallery! WTF? LOL
She says it's been doing it since the most recent update, but I remember her talking about this months ago. So I think it may have been the first update.
Can anyone help with suggestions? She's on the Stock ROM.
Thanks!

Questions should go in the Q&A forum. I would think that somewhere along the way when your gf chose to open a pic in mms...The S4 asked her what app to use and if to use only once.. I suspect this now the default and I'm not sure how to reset the default.

Sorry about the wrong forum. I realized that a few minutes after I posted.
Ahh, good call. Maybe if I go to Manage Apps and clear data in either Gallery or Messages, it'll fix the problem. The question then is will she lose her texts or photos in doing that?

My wife and I have i605's. Some apps look different on either phone. The most notable is Facebook. I even took the apk straight from her phone, completely different look. Logged in as her on my phone, didn't change. Logged in as me on her phone, kept her look. That convinces me it is phone specific, but why? We're both on Mean Bean Reloaded v.5. A few other apps have done this in the past. It's bugging the hell out of me. :cyclops:

Have either of you used Xposed or anything similar to tweak the DPI settings?
It isn't just DPI. I mean like her action bar is at the bottom of the screen, swiping left and right goes to different menus, and even action icons look different. It's really odd
Is it possible our phones are identifying differently to the Play Store? I'm grasping, I know.

Certainly is a strange phenomenon. The reason I mention the DPI tweaks is because it can cause the app to display itself in tablet mode or something. I'm guessing you'd know if for some reason your phone description was changed in your build.prop. When you go to 'about phone' in the settings do both phones read i605?

I can certainly understand your frustration. Especially if hers is better somehow.... I would ask if she was maybe using the Facebook beta app, but you said you even took the apk straight from her phone. So that would, to me, as I'm sure was your thought process too, eliminate the possibility of the Play Store recognizing your phones different. I've never used MeanBean to know if there is something within the rom doing it. Strange, sorry nobody seems to have an explanation.
I just checked. Even her desktop layout looks different! Is there some beta program done by them? I've only had an account for a couple years, and don't even care about it. I'll email Facebook and see what they can tell me. It appears that it may be account related, but then I'd think it would change logging in on my phone. It's confusing
