Facebook for Sense is keeping my auto sync [icon] on, even though I have it disabled. When I remove the Facebook account, auto sync [icon] goes away. No matter how many times I toggle auto sync, background data, data connection, pull battery/reboot, NOTHING is working.
A little background:
Fresh 3.3.0.1, ran the omegasun script to remove all Sense stuff, then I put the HTCFacebook .apk back on my phone with adb.
My questions are:
a.) anyone else have this problem?
b.) anyone know of a solution?
c.) is there perhaps some other .apk that I need to put back into /system/app in order to make this work?
I have just spent the last 3 hours trying to figure this out, and I am tired of wiping and reflashing over and over only to have the issue still arise. Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.
If I remember correctly, Friendstream and Talk were the two known for causing that situation.
Well I don't have Friendstream installed and I know it's not Talk because as soon as I delete HtcFacebook.apk the problem disappears.
Have you tried deleting the sense facebook and then downloading fb for android from the market?
That is what I have done. I removed the sense fb and installed the market fb app and dont have issues with sync. They are and appear as two different apps. Try that.
Are you saying permanently delete HtcFacebook? Or reinstall it after I install the market app? I don't want to delete HtcFacebook because of it's integration with the people app, the pictures and such.

I personally deleted it completely but that might not be an option for you. What integration are you talking about though because I have no problems uploading pics through the market fb app.
In the Facebook for Sense sync options, turn off Sync live feed. I think that tries to sync to friendstream. I am running this way and the contacts and pictures still work correctly.

My contact list is synced with facebook, giving me everyones profile picture for their contact card. Also, birthdays, events. I don't think you can do that with just the market app.

I don't have that option. I only have the option to sync contacts which I have turned off. I manually sync them when I get the urge to.

Yeah you can't do that with the market app. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help.
That's cool man, I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post regardless if it helped or not.
This is driving me nuts. I can't tell if it's actually syncing or if it's just a bug where the icon won't go away. My battery life seems fine so I dunno.
edit: It's definitely trying to do something because my wake time is 100%.

I just noticed in your sig you are using launcher pro.
You can create a shortcut to the battery usage info (the partial wake usage found on spare parts).
Long press the homescreen, shortcut, activities, settings, battery history.
You literally dont need spare parts for this and others. Maybe under partial wake it might lead you somewhere.
Yeah I already checked partial wake, Android System is maxed, dialer is barely there and thats pretty much it.
I'm gonna run the stock PC36IMG and then try to work my way back to where I'm at. Hopefully that will help.
I had a lot of issues with that Facebook app at first also. Now I realized that the Facebook for HTC Sense Live feed works with Friendstream like others have said. It also put the info in contacts showing their last status. Its is rather annoying and took me a minute before I figured it out as well.
Hope you the info in here as helped you
FIXED!!!
Ok, It seems I have fixed the problem. The autosync icon is gone and phone is sleeping again. Flashing the PC36IMG is the crucial step. Before flashing it I had wiped and reflashed my ROM multiple times with no success. These are the steps that I took, in case anyone else is having the same issue.
1. wipe
2. flash the rooted stock PC36IMG.zip
3. boot it
4. wipe again
5. flash Fresh 3.3.0.1
6. boot it
7. run omegasun's sense removal script
8. boot it
9. push HtcFacebook.apk to /system/app
10. reboot it
11. restore with Titanium
12. reboot it
13. $$$$
14. PROFIT!!!

Good stuff. It sounds like the problem was that you were initializing facebook before deleting stuff and breaking the communications between apps that exist and dont.

No, that wasn't the problem because I tried it both ways- flashed, booted, deleted apps and flashed, deleted apps and then booted.
I'm sure it was just some stupid bug that got cleared up when I went back to stock.

Since I updated to the new OTA (Fresh rom 3.3.0.1), I have been getting the sync icon in the task bar and it isn't going away. I have disabled ALL syncing from the menu and restarted the phone (making sure all the settings saved) and it still shows the syncing symbol after a while.
I have tried foing a logcat and I am not seeing any activity that looks like it is syncing with anything. But the icon is at the top and my battery is draining faster then normal. When in the settings, I can also hit the 'cancel sync' button. I went in to all the syncable stuff in that menu and they are not the culprit since they all show 'start sync' as the button.
Any ideas?

Same issue, and it's not actually syncing...certainly not my facebook contacts.
Gonna have to switch if no fix soon.
I dont use the facebook contact sync.
I am not rooted so this may be less than helpful, but for a day my phone was doing this too. I put the Sync widget on my home screen and pushed it, voila. Stopped the issue. I tried everything, then the simple widget took care of it. NO idea if that will help you guys. Worth a shot.

Check the running processes, I don't use it either, but if you've ever had the fb app installed, the process will still try and sync, even after you uninstall it. Took me a while to figure that out, and I had to go back to an old nand to fix.

Hi, has anyone resolved the constant sync problem related to facebook for htc sense?
It is causing 100% wake. I remember flipz addressing a constant sync issue with his fresh evo ROM by determining that it was the absence of some HTC app causing it. But, for the life of me, I can't find the post.
Lately, as I delete emails after I have read them within the Gmail app, they will show back up in the Inbox a little while later, sometimes as new/unread mail and sometimes showing as unread emails in the Inbox counter but not actually showing in the Inbox.
I've done several things to try and fix it:
- Went into Applications and cleared the caches (problem eventually comes back)
- Cleared the caches as well as uninstalled the Gmail updates then reinstalled from Market (problem eventually comes back)
I've searched through the forums and can't find where anyone has written about having this issue or resolving it. Has anyone here run into this and if so, how did you go about resolving it?
Thanks!
I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve this issue?
No "final" solution that fixes it...just have to keep doing the 2 steps I wrote about and the problem goes away for a while.
It happens maybe every 2 weeks and seems to pop up when I haven't gone into Gmail and emptied my trash from within the Gmail site for a while. Also seems to come back if I read through emails too quickly; maybe an issue with reading and then deleting on the phone before the phone can push back to the server that it's been read...just guessing.
Sorry...

Go to manage applications, find GMail then force stop it. clear cache and then clear data. Reopen GMail and set up the label sync etc how you like it and should be good. Hope this works for you, let me know.
Thanks ifly! Haven't tried the force stop part before so I just did it. I'll report back if anything comes back.

No problem at all. Hope it fixes it. I have this happen quite a bit after a nand backup or restore. When I do a nand restore i always wipe data/factory reset, then cache and davlik now and that seems to fix the problem. Not sure what is getting hung up in the data to cause this.
That's what's been bugging me as well...I do all the wipes when I do a nand restore or load a new rom but Gmail always seems to go back to this stranger behavior. I looked all over these forums (and others), hoping someone had at least seen the same thing but to no avail.
UPDATE: Started having the same issue with Gmail. Was honestly hoping the last suggestion would help...guess not.
Any other ideas...anyone?
Login to gmail from a browser.
Click settings and then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab
Check the settings there. I have both pop enabled and IMAP.
What are yours set to?
I've got them both enabled as well.
hmmm not sure what the deal is then...strange.

I'm having similar issues as well. I would get an email notification, open gmail, read it, delete it. Few minutes later, it shows up as an unread email but does not appear in my inbox. If i go to my "all" email box, it's there. I also still see it on my desktop PC. It finally goes away when I delete it from my PC. Another major problem that has not been mentioned here is that I cannot send an email from my EVO using the gmail app. It just keeps sitting there in my outbox. Very frustrating.
Here's my setup.

Hey Guys,
Been experiencing gmail issue for the last couple of weeks.
Desire Z, now with the OTA update - used to have root, task managers, but did factory data reset which should remove those two, correct?
Upon boot, gmail functions well, and pushes my mail thru well, then after a while, i'd go into the gmail app and refresh, and a flurry of emails would come thru, some hours old.
I've done several factory resets, at the moment have weather sync every 3 hours, gmail, exchange (push), facebook for sense every 12 hours, and whatsapp.
Not sure how the native gmail app works, is it exchange? proprietary sync? imap idle? or thru the google cloud service?
been reading and people have cleared the gmail cache as a temp workaround, but I find this annoying, and its results are hit and miss.
I have tried on gmail app version 2.3 and 2.3.2 (latest)
any ideas?
PS - background data on, sync on, all on!
Native gmail app is pushhhhhh. It should be pushing down....
I have had troubles with syncing but I flash so muchstuff I'm never in the same place at the same time. So a wipe is always the fix everytime.
If I were you id quit on the weather (look up at the sky) and facebook. Eliminate the junk if you are trying to fix something substantially important. See what happens. Try a wipe they feel good actually.

Thanks for the suggestion,
over the weekend (Xmas weekend) i wiped twice, both times i didnt install anything else, both times after a period of time, it would stop pushing.
I have no idea now hahaha
Ok, so i just did it again, factory reset, formatted SD card, completely clean phone.
installed only my gmail account and my work exchange account. nothing else.
my push gmail worked for about 1/2 hour, and stopped again.
The problem is with Gmail. They just updated the.app. go to the Market and download the new app before you.delete your whole phone or something.

Yea.. I was having the same problem yesterday. Went to the market, saw there was an update. After I downloaded it, it fixed everything. Hummmm. Let me check my version # yup. I'm 2.3.2
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but in the hopes that they are, I'm posting this. For some reason, I'm not getting any notifications for push apps. Specifically for me, its Gmail, Google Voice, and FB Messenger. The apps aren't even syncing. I have to manually go into each app and tell it to sync.
I've had Gmail and GV sync for a little while after a ROM flash, but it never lasts more than a half hour or so.
Any ideas?
Not sure what rom u are using, or if you are using titanium to restore apps... but try settings>apps>gmail (or other apps) and choose to clear data, NOTE: you will have to re-sync accounts by going to settings>accounts and sync and enter ur info. your contacts will disappear for a short time while it re-syncs. its worked for me on previous devices after flashing a new rom, not sure if it will work here....
Check what kind of Internet connection you have: settings>wireless&networks>more>mobile networks>acces point names. The one working is net.
Any luck with this? I'm having the same issue.
I tried moving the gv app to /system/app but it didn't fix it.
Make sure you aren't disabling sync via the power widget.. it sounds obvious but it happened to someone

Similar problem here as well. Google Talk only seems to give me a notification when I turn the screen on. Just got my gnex last week and running stock jb now (only rooted).
I have posted this in several ROM threads as well as the Android Q&A, with not a single response.
This is what I get in the T9 dialer on ANY 4.2.1 ROM. If I tap "loading" it takes me to the contact list, I then hit the 'back' softkey and it takes me back to the dialer with the contact name displayed instead of 'loading'.
Why dont you wait for it to stop loading before you tap it? Do you have a lot of contacts? Because I dont and mine doesn't even display "loading" when dialing.

I have let it sit for up to 5 minutes and it stays at 'loading'. I have maybe 100 total contacts between my 2 Gmail accounts.

Hmm. Well I dont have that problem. Right when I press a number, the first contact it finds a match to pops right up. I'm running CM 10.1. Maybe it has something to do with the multiple Gmail accounts? I dont see why it would but its the only thing I can think of.
I don't have any issues with the stock dialer either, didn't even know there is a "loading" screen there. I use EX though cause I got use to the swipe left to text / right to call function.
Since you've given us no clue as to what you may have already tried, I'm going to start with the obvious...
I'm guessing you have either corrupt data from restoring via TiBu etc, in which case I would recommend deleting data from the app and rebooting; or you have permissions issues, in which case I would fix permissions via ROM manager and reboot...
that is pretty odd.
i once had my duplicate contacts resulting in about 300+ and i never seen that loading thing before.
i've run through boat loads of 4.2.1 roms and never seen that either.
perhaps you should check how your gmail accounts are synced in settings?
maybe go to www.google.com/contacts and see whatsup there>?
edit- agree with danger-rate
go to recovery->wipe cache->wipe dalvik cache->fix permissions->reboot

I don't restore anything from TiBu or any other backup program. I can try to fix permissions in CWM. I have run MMuzzy, Xenon, BAMF, CNA, and a few others. All of them do this on the T9 dialer. When I go between ROMs I wipe everything and start fresh.

Try fix permissions using ROM Manager.
CWM takes about 2 seconds, and gives you zero feedback. I'm not even sure it does anything.
RM takes about a minute, and tells you exactly what it's doing.
Wipe data from the app itself (long press the app in the recent used list and look at the app info). Wiping Dalvik won't do anything for this...

I just went to the Google contacts page and nothing looks wrong. I haven't had this problem since 4.2.1. I don't have a clue, it just seems odd I would be the ONLY person to have this issue.
Even after a rom manager fix permissions I still have the same problem.
Just to say its not only you OP I get this from time to time with no idea why,seems to be a rare problem,if I get it fixed will be sure to post the solution
