[Q] Contact app problem - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just downgraded, rooted and flashed successfully my desire Z.
After that trip, i installed the very last MIUI 1.5.27 which works fine... except for the contact sync feature.
I tried to sync my google contact, but the list is empty.
When i create a contact, i save it, then the list is still empty.
When i install facebook app and sync, nothing appear in the list.
I really don't know what to do ; i wished a simple zip with a working contact app inside which i should put on my phone could be enough - i really don't want to erase/reinstall all on my phone again.
Thanks all for the help,

you will probably get more responses in the Q&A section.

Go into the Accounts & Sync menu under settings. do another "Add Account", there you should see a second Facebook account icon, click there and login to your facebook account.
If you've already done this, go back to the Account & Sync menu, and click the Facebook for HTC Sense and remove account, re-add it and reboot.
I always have that same issue when setting up a new ROM, and you just have ot play with the settings under Facebook for HTC Sense and sometimes even removing and re-adding helps.
Tried All those options but nothing worked and my whole life is on facebook

Under the People app, click menu and view. make sure you have your Facebook checked.
You may want to avoid creating MULTIPLE threads for the same issue.
Check your other thread in the general section for an answer.
Sorry bout the other thread thing i want this issue resolved and i did check and facebook is checked
Stock Rom? Ask the Facebook App developer. Uninstall and reinstall. Wipe the phone and reinstall. I am using Stock Rom non-rooted and having no issue. Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
If you're still not having any luck, I'd have to agree with tgruendler, try a wipe and start over. As far as the Stock ROM, did you download and install it after rooting.
If that's the case, try one of the custom ROMS
Can u give me links and tell me how to do this??
I have the same problem as you.
I went back to rooted stock and i can't get it to find my friends. everythign else, including the friend stream syncs up fine.
I have wiped and reinstalled...same problem.
I'm having the same issue. I installed Fresh 1.0.1, and I wasn't able to re-sync, but when I reflashed my backup (which was working before), it still wouldn't connect.
Maybe Facebook is having issues today?

2.2 FroYo and Gmail

I side loaded 2.2 onto my phone and it works wonderfully but, now when I try to email a photo it just continuously says sending and never actually sends it. Has anyone had this problem or can anyone point me in the direction of the correct corrective action.
Just tested going to Gallary, select a photo, then share, then Gmail and it was sent and delivered. Seems to work ok for me.
What method did you try?
-JD
ps. I am have build 3.16.32.15-g7507bb0 (Offical 2.2 with rmk-inc_froyo_fixes_v4 patch).
did you run the rmk froyo fixes v4 patch?

He has 1 post so obviously not...how many people come here asking for help in the dev when it needs to be in general when the fix is usually already out there?
I'd say roughly 90%...
Apply the [PATCH]2.2 fixes deal. It'll work.
Sorry for posting this in the wrong place and being part of the 90%! (Honestly77)
Could someone who would like to help direct me to the correct location for the fix.
I found the thread and DL the file but it says "Apply the zip via CWM as usual (can be re-run anytime, such as for updates)." what does "CWM as usual" mean?
CWM is clockwork recovery. Boot into recovery and apply zip from SD card.

Do I need to rename it update when I put it on the SD card?
Nice!,thank you for the help with the terminology, I installed it and it is working like normal now. my gmail works again, thank you.
Does anybody know how I can get Gmail to show me my inbox with it's list of emails (old and new) instead of directly showing me the newest email (opened) when I tap on Gmail??
any help with the question above??
I think I figured it out. If you do not want Gmail to open up the new email directly when you tap on the Gmail icon.. do not exit Gmail using the back key.. Instead use the home button to exit Gmail.. that way next time when you open it.. it'll go to your inbox list instead of an opened/new email.
Thanks for the response but has nothing to do with my problem.

I've had a similar issue with another app that seemingly took for ever to pass something thru the internet... just like the issue with send that you are having.. Uninstalling and reinstalling the particular app seemed to fix the problem for me.

[Q] No contacts/phonebook on Absolution rom

Hi
I have been using A revolution on my HTC HD
have flashe Absolution rom and now I dont seem to have any phonebook ie no contact numbers.
Have I missed something??
Cheers
Do you mean you didn't have any contacts AFTER flashing?
Or that they don't show up even after you've downloaded them?
If the former then that is correct, the flashing process wipes everything so you need to re-sync.
If it's the latter then I guess we need some more information.
Dave
Hi
Thanks for the reply
Ok I flashed Absolution
after reboot I no longer have any numbers/for phone or sms.
if i use import export from sim it says phone only unsynced.
It then says no contacts on sim card.
If I reflash back to stock or flash revolution 6 they are all there.
Cant get my head round it.
thanks
Its simple. CM7 based rom's have no sim contact support. You would have to sync them with Google or export them and then really import them

Retrieving contacts

Hi guys, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my contacts back on my new rom.
Maybe I just dont know how to sync *from* google to my phone, I have always chosen the google option when creating new contacts but have never manually done a contact sync with google. I looked around on my google account but it says I have no contacts. I have a Nandroid backup but cant read the .img files to get to the contacts. I'm currently trying nandroid browser but it keeps trying to load without actually loading it. I have a titanium backup but after re-downloading it to the new rom it doesnt have an option for recover, only backup in my contacts storage. I did a nandroid backup before flashing my new rom, but the new rom has a different kernel which wont let me recover to my old rom without flashing a compatible kernel of my old rom. It was so long ago that I dont even remember what my old rom was, but it was a sense based rom. I've tried to find a 2.2 stock kernel to see if my old rom will load with that but every download link I try is broken or the file doesnt work.
This is driving me insane, everything I try is a brick wall. If you guys have some insight that would help out a LOT.
Contrary to my name, I do have an htc evo 4g.
Any ideas? Does anyone know of a program that will read the .img files on my mac? Can I go to the sprint store to get the contacts? I think I've done that before, but I'm pretty sure they were on my phone as well....
You synced your Gmail account in accounts and sync right?
Yeah, it has the check mark next to contacts. Interesting tho, when I went to my google account nothing showed up in my contacts section... I found my old rom but the updated rom manager wont let me install it. I think they're gone. I also found another app (app extractor) and that didnt get them back either. I guess anyone worth staying in contact with will eventually call me hahaha!!
Make sure you have the right account registered and recheck the contacts sync icon just to be sure.

I am currently having the same issue. I have a rooted evo 4g and I did a factory reset and loaded the 2.3.5 rom last night. I linked up my google account with my phone and i got a lot of contacts back, but not all of them. The one's I really need (mom, wife, etc.) weren't there. I logged onto my gmail account through the pc and it had the same contacts that synced up. It was weird because whenever i manually entered a new contact, i made sure I created it with the google account and I synced the account before I wiped the phone. I gave up, and like the OP said, if they really want to talk to me they'll contact me. I would still like to retrieve my contacts though.
ok guys...ran into this with my wife. When adding contacts make sure you add them as a Google contact. Should be a drop down in the contact page...otherwise they will only be stored as "phone"contacts
Hopefully they are saved with a Nan backup. If so expect them to your computer as a csv file and import to Gmail and next time be sure you are adding a new one as a Google contact

[Q]Facebook & Friendstream BUG

Hello,
I have a problem with Friend STREAM or Facebook is not displayed. However, my twitter account appears good.
I ROM Customs, my problem appeared in the BLADE ELITE 1.00.
So I résintall ect ... it still did not work.
I went to erase the SD card Full WIPE Full Format to reinstall 21.00 ARHD. With this ROM everything worked. Except that my surprise, Facebook does not work either with FriendStream despite creating the account, update ect ... When I update, he wrote no recent update.
In summary, my phone is naked with ARHD 21.00 and it does not work.
Who would have an idea? thank you
Meanwhile I try other ROM and same result.
I put an old BACKUP last week, showed FriendStream FACEBOOK and after a few seconds, a triangle appeared in the notif bar, asking me to authorize HTC SENSE ect ... I agree, then a message on the screen saying I need to enable given background :/
Wholesale HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPP
thank you
Considering no one has replied, I'll try the only thing I can think that would have to do with background data.
Goto "Settings -> More -> Usage -> Menu -> Restrict Background Data (MAKE SURE IT IS UNTICKED)
Hope this helps.
Check your settings on a PC in Facebook, make sure the device is fully enabled.
Re-setup your Facebook account on the device (I think you tried this)
Also, I've heard issues that Twitter accounts can stop your friend stream. Remove both accounts and setup Facebook first.
Thanks Wilk, its unticked. I tried to delete TWITTER and setup FB ect ...
I try Skydragon, ARHD, and VIPER, and same issue :'(
Friend stream is broken when i try BLADE ELITE, there is no friend stream in ROM, i flash some one and it works fine.
But when i came on other roms, dont work.
So i dont know what i m going to do ...i reset my SD CARD, full wipe and format cahe data system ect ...
If someone have solution I TAKE IT
Thx Wilk
