Is there a way to remove the Facebook icon from the contacts live tile in WP8? I'm not using Facebook at all, and nothing is synced with facebook - so the icon is a pain in the eye (not meant in any offencive way for all of you who are using FB).
That's not a Nokia issue -- it's a Windows Phone issue. It's in WP7, too.

Thanks for your effort. I have no such option though. I only have the option to filter "Hotmail" and "Nokia Account". I filteret the Nokia account and ticked the "Hide posts from the contacts I've filtered". Didn't help. Even tried to unload the tile and then load the person tile Again. Didn't help eighter. Also tried to filter out the Hotmail - unload and load the persons tile Again. This gives me alot of red and redish tiles + the facebook tile. This indicates that the f-icon is build into the system.
Guess I have to accept it - even when it seems stragne that such an icon is enforced on my device.

you don't have a facebook account, but you still get the big F logo? that's odd. Sounds like a bug. Oddly enough if you did set one up and then hid it, I think you won't see the logo in the rotation. Alternately you could turn people hub into a small tile to get rid of all animation.
login to www.live.com with your acct n check your people hub setting on website

you mean the SYNC icon!? Its for exactly that SYNC functions well afaik it is lol
It looks like the "reload" symbol on a web browser. If it is a SYNC button, what exactly does enabling it do?

It allows automatic and continuous synchronization in whatever you have in your settings>accounts & sync settings. Disable it if you are not on unlimited data connection. Can use it over wifi if you want.

Does not necessary have to be SE's, though it's the default one. Can delete. Can add facebook, twitter, gmail, etc, if you installed the apps.
Hey everyone,
OK so you know if you use the "Buddies Now" widget, or click someone's picture in the contacts list? It displays that little quick toolbar to call, text, email, facebook etc.
If I click a contact on the "Buddies Now" widget, it displays their Facebook status, but if I click them in contact's list, it does not. I'm pretty sure it used to, but I can't figure out why it would have changed. All my contacts are correctly linked.
Can anybody confirm this behaviour? It would take only seconds of your time, thanks.
Matt
I have a "view profile" button at the bottom of the contact, but only because I added Facebook as an account to my dialer/contacts app.
Quickly do me a favour - find a contact that you have that "View profile" link with. Now click their picture at the top left. Does it show their status in the little pop-up menu?
not sure if this helps or not, but some contacts in my phone book if I click on the picture it gives me options such as text call email etc and some come up with a facebook icon which takes me direct to their page.
I dont see status updates and if I am honest I think I may have mine set up wrong somehow as well as some of my fb contacts have no pics at all and others have old pictures so it aint like up to date. Goodness knows why not like! :-(
Ref the buddies thing, sorry I dont have that app.

No. It gives me the popup menu to call/email/msg etc., and that has a facebook link on it as well.
I've seen it's possible to have a user profile photo display as your user icon when you swipe down to show the notification bar in Lollipop. However, mine just shows the generic bobblehead icon - although I have a perfectly good profile photo on my Google account.
Am I being an idiot and missing some obvious feature, or should it always propagate down from your Google profile?

Do you have Google+ installed? It is needed. If you do go into settings and make sure the contacts area is checked.
How do I turn off Gmail notifications on the watch with GNE?
I just want them to show up with the stock Gear Notifications.
Someone? Please?

In Notifications for Gear S (maybe it's not GNE, don't know), you can select what apps to have their notifications sent through Notifications.
For that :
1. start Notifications (on the phone)
2. press the "wrench" icon in the upper right corner to enter settings
3. Uncheck "Read Gmail Notifications"
If it's still showing notifications, you can use 2 other methods :
A. filter by notifications text
- in the settings use the "Do not read notifications containing ..." and add whatever text you know will always show up
B. selective notificationns
- in the settings activate the "Do you want to be asked for new...", this will make the app ask you for each new notification type. When the dialog shows up (when you get a notification from a new program) you can choose to send the notification or to ignore it
In case GNE and Notifications are not the same app, you should look into GNE's settings and see if it has similar ways to choose what notifications it sends.
But, then I won't see Gmail notifications at all, instead of only seeing them once, versus twice, which happens now with GNE.

If you only disable GNE to send the notifications and leave the standard Gear S notifications active for Gmail then you should get just one notification (the standard one).
If you instead want to get the notification just from Notifications Extended, well, i for one didn't manage to do that.
When i disable notifications for Gmail from the standard Gear S notifications then the Notifications Extended doesn't send the notifications either. I might have something configured incorrectly though, haven't played too much with the settings.
Hi, I understand that it may sound lame but this notification is driving me crazy.
I was googling a lot but still don't understand why I am getting it few times a day.
Looks like this is something called weather tomorrow from Google.
I disabled everything I cloud found in Google settings and in Google assist that correlate to weather but still nothing.
Any idea how to stop it?
It could also be linked to chrome news/weather feed.
Have you tried disabling it by swiping the notification itself to the left and press the settings button?

Thanks for the suggestion.
That is leading to the main Google notification settings. I still would like to receive other notification s
Go to google app, settings, notifications and disable the current weather thingy

That was already disabled, however I found one more that was still enabled - daily weather forecast
I disabled it now and will see how it goes.
Thanks everyone.
FYI I no longer receive this notification. Thanks everyone.
