I have a de-branded Orange Desire and I applied the OTA update with a goldcard in. Everything seems to be working ok except for push email.
I have tried deleting all the stored details (cache etc) of google mail, HTC mail etc which is recommended when others have had problems with push email.
So anyone else noticed any issues? Is there a problem with gmail which happens to have co-incided with when I did the update or is this a problem with the update?
OK I have done some more playing and I am fairly sure that update has broken this.
on 1.15 I was getting push notifications from my gmail account (I think anyway...) in the HTC mail app. Now I am not
I have just re-enabled notifications in the google mail app and this now pops up as soon as I send a message from my PC. No matter what I do the HTC app does not seem to want to play.
Even when set to sync every 15 minutes this did not seem to want to pick up any email (it did work sometimes but not consistently).
I much prefer the HTC mail app (and widget) to the google one but as it stands I can only get notifications from google. I did think I could just leave google app for notifications and mail app for checking but the google notifications do not get cleared when you open HTC app which is a tad annoying.
Anyone else suffering from similar issues or have some ideas about what the best solution might be?
I had the same problem. I am on a debranded and updated rom but using the Orange network.
I found that my email was not being pulled down from two POP accounts. Everytime I adjusted settings I recieved messages about not connected to server etc or host cannot be found etc.
about 24 hours later it all works great... emails come in properly and I can send. It might be worth setting it up. checking that you have a network connection to Orange and that you have set your auto download times. Then leave it to get on with it for a while.
GMail has continued to push mail to my phone fine since the update, however my other two email accounts (one IMAP and one Exchange ActiveSync) which are polled often stop sync'ing until I do it manually. The same also appears to be true of my other sync accounts... Facebook and Twitter. I haven't been able to work out what causes them to stop sync'ing, and what later then enables them to randomly start sync'ing again. It's annoying, it makes sync and notifications for these services totally worthless because you can't just assume it's working, you always have to manually check.
Another way in which HTC has let itself down with poor s/w quality, IMHO
No problems for me here in my debranded Orange black Desire

Gmail still working fine, FB and Twitter (official app) both update as expected every hour...don't use any other email as my phone is setup for my DJ work
I'm getting the same issue, GMail is fine but push email through Exchange isn't happening.
Presumably it's one of the reasons TMobile has now pulled the update. Hopefully a fix will be out soon
I had to do a wipe of the phone ealier, and i've set up my facebook account as usual, But for the life of me when I click contacts and then where I should be able to link them, I press facebook and it asks me to search, it sees nothing, I have logged out and back in, Tried manually syncing the facebook account and nothing
Help?
Stock Sense Rom, Not rooted.
Me Too
I updated my rom and now cant sync my Facebook contacts. I can use the stand alone facebook app without any problems, but it will not let me add the facebook account to my phone, everytime i try it says "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
So I cant use any of the build in facebook stuff like friendstream or contact sync updates.
This sucks, bigtime, hope froyo upto will fix this.
I never had any problems with it ever untill today when I had tk wipe do to free space errors

Yes, I'm Facing the same thing as well !!
I am starting to think its more of a fb issue rather than the device...
anyone else can confirm? any official statement by HTC? and by when will it be fixed?
Cheers

I have EXACTLY the same issue - I flashed a new ROM yesterday (unbranded stock) and facebook doesn't show a single contact... Any ideas?
I was talkink with the german HTC Support.
They told me to hardreset my desire (again) and try to just setup WiFi and "Facebook for HTC Sensse"
After the sync i did not have any Facebookcontact in "Contacts" (need to make them visible: contacts --> Menu -> Show --> Facebook (0))
That (0) indicates that the contacts are not synced.
In addition when I manually sync "Facebook for HTC Sense", the live-feed takes a couple of seconds, Contacts takes less than 1 second.
i use the official, nonrooted htc "2.1-update1" rom (1.21.405 CL174215 release-keys)
Any better Idea?
One observation:
When I go
People -> Online directories -> Facebook -> Menu -> Refresh
I get a "connection error" instead of a successful sync - now if I would only know why!
I just tried that and i got xonnectiln error, intrestingly when i updated my profile it worked... but still not friends

Same here
If I then go to Menu --> Own profile I do see my profile
If I to there to "Refresh" it comes (translated from German) "We are Sorry. the Application Faebook for HTC Sense (Prozess com.htc.socialnetwork.facebook) was closed unexpected. Retry again.
HTC was answering. They sent me a manual how to reinstall HTC Sync...

I can confirm that - profile and wall works - sync contacts doesn't.
I have the same problem since yesterday.
So it's because of Facebook?
Hmmm..
I'm having the same problem.
I had to unroot my Desire as it would not let me upgrade to official 1.21 (Danish rom) and after unrooting and updating, facebook friends cannot be read or sync'ed.
Friendsstream and everything else is working perfectly, just not linking and facebook contacts.
I too get the Connection Error upon trying...
I think it is a FB issue - darned!
I was again talking to HTC Support and giving all Hints.
We also tried via Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, FB for HTC Sense --> Delete temp files
It went now to 3.levelsupport.
...and?

I don't see how it would work, HTC Sync has nothing to do with Facebook contacts...
No, of course it did not work. HTC Sync is to sync from Outlook to Desire (or whatever)
Seems as they have same problem with Legend
Hi, I got the same problem since yesterday. I tried to unlink the facebook sense and re-link it in order to update my friends' profile pic in my contact. I can't even sync with my PC (HTC sync) now. Friend stream also not work. Please help~~

Its not the same problem - Friendsstream, HTC Sync and everything BUT Facebook Friends syncronization seems fine...
This is still going on? I havent been able to sync my FB contacts for a few days.. it says " Service is unavailable would you like to try again?"
Hi all,
I got a swanky new HTC Desire HD on Monday - previously had an HTC Legend. OMG, the Desire is soooo fast
Anyway, I found this add-on in the HTC Hub called LinkedIn for HTC Sense. Seeing as I have an LI account, I thought I would have a play and see what it does.
I keyed in my user details and waited for it to sync. When it does, it finds 1 user to link in my Contacts. When I open up the window to link my phone contact with the LinkedIn contact, the window disappears and then nothing else happens for about 60 seconds. At that point, the LinkedIn for HTC Sense app Force Closes.
There's no update from HTC for the app, so I'm kinda stuck.
Suggestions? I'd love to bring in my 800 odd LI contacts into my phone.
I've got the same problem. Did you ever resolve this issue?
hi,is anyone have issues with google syncing accounts such as contacts,weather etc on their desire?I've been trying to update them all morning but kept getting the following message "sync is currently experiencing problems.It will be back shortly".I'm in the Uk, using an unbranded and unrooted phone running an official android 2.2 froyo.
I have the same problem with contacts not doing the sync. I changed an e-mail address in a contact on my desktop browser yesterday, and when I wanted to e-mail that contact from the phone I still had the old address. I tried to sync, but no changes.
Anyone else? I think this is a long time issue for me, had problems with calendar sync too, wondering if there is anything to be done (except wait for gingerbread and hope that fixes it).
Stock, unbranded froyo.
Clear contact storage through settings-Application. Then sync.

That did it. Thank you!
Hi, I just recently purchased the HTC One from Verizon and everything seems to be working fine, except the Facebook blinkfeed. When I go to use my Facebook account my contacts and live feed sync okay but my calendar doesn't. It says that sync is currently available and to try again, and I also get authorization problem at the top of the screen. Well if I drop down the menu and click on the authorization problem, it tries to bring up facebook for a second and then close out. I then had a friend try his Facebook account and everything works fine, no issues with Facebook syncing and his posts from Facebook shows up on the main blinkfeed. So what am I overlooking here? I went into the local verizon to see if it was just my phone that might be bad, but I tried syncing up my facebook at the store and it also had the same issues.
I've tried removing my account, changing passwords, changing my email address I use to log in, I even done a factory reset with data wipe nothing works. Hopefully someone here might have experienced the same issue and knows where to try to fix it.
Thanks..
