I can;t link anything since I'm stuck as a junior member (for now), but from what I've read this is a Facebook issue and not a Sense issue. Something about Facebooks protocols changed recently and seemingly behind-the-scenes. Until the application is updated it probably won't work.

really, that is quite disappointing.

Try this, be sure to read my post.

Try to delete HTC sense from your Facebook apps on the website?

USE THE F'ING SEARCH. Seriously, this problem has been going on for a week now and there are threads with this problem in the title and mentioned 1000 times. Stop being so lazy and looking for spoon feeding of answers.

[Q] ICS email and calendar apps

I got used to the look and feel of ICS calendar and email apps, which I prefer to their hTC counterparts.
Does the HOX come with these apps? If not, where can we find them (apk files)?
Cheers,
JP.

It comes with the HTC skin on top of it. I know you can install the stock email.apk (you will have 2 mails clients then but you could disable the htc one).
Don't know if calander.apk will work.

Thanks xmoo!
I got my HOX yesterday, and was happily surprised with the email app actually. I was previously using a Legend, and IMAP email has a serious bug: sent emails do not appear on the IMAP server.
Cheers,
JP.

The standard Adroid ICS calendar is still available in the widget drawer. But then as you mentioned, HTC has the best email client. Their calendar widget is not bad, furthermore you can resize the Agenda widget

I've installed Apex launcher to replace the somewhat limited Sense launcher, so I have no more access to the Sense widget. I prefer the look and simplicity of the Google Calendar widget.

ICS Calendar vs Sense Calendar

Nope. It's quite different on month view.
Personally, I think ICS is the best for detailed and smart month view, but both week and day view are equal ...
Since original question mentioned not to be root, flash update is just can't help but you can search "Android 4 ICS Calendar" on Google play (I can't post link cause I'm newcomer on XDA)
PS : flashing Gapps over sense with root won't help, nor simply save .apk from stock ICS and install it on your HTC One X. I tried, it failed ...
Good luck

[Q] Twitter for sense: no synctime setting?

Hi all, since yesterday I own this wonderful phone.
Just one question I couldn'f find an answer: isn't there any setting for synctime for twitter for sense?
I mean, I like twitter for sense implementation as well as its widgets and I don't want to install neither use something else (twitter itself, tweetdeck, plume, etc) but it's a pain not being able to set a sync time interval. Do I have to manually sync it every time?
Thanks in advance

old question but I cannot find this setting as well.

I don't have an answer, but this free app looks like it may solve the problem. I have not tried it.

10x for your help, but this app doesn't help. No way to get account email link.
Xmas coming....

Up up Xmas didn't help us on this...

Sorry, no real help from me on this one either, but have you considered using an alternate email app?
Personally, I'd recommend K-9 Mail.

I can't believe that none of you guys noticed tris issue ... Help!!!

help...

I think no one use this feature except both of us
I started using another email app for another account

HI,
I have the same issue. I had my Galaxy S1 with rooted ICS, and even in the stock version there was option to create those shortcuts. The problem for me is that i use 4-5 email accounts. And without those shortcuts its hard to monitor ,and its easy to get lost from which account are you sending back email.
Maybe its possible to install email apk from ICS ? Any one got the .apk file ?

I've just upgraded from an S3 to a Note II and I've noticed this too.
I wonder if it's because I'm using the Hong Kong FW that came with it. I notice it's missing other shortcuts too, like Mono Audio Toggle.
Very annoying. Oh well.

Unfortunately this is not country related...i had a workaround...using titanum backup:
1. back-up apex launcher installed on my s3 (gestures adn link to emai laccounting wrking properly)
2. restore on my Note II
It works!
The issue is when you remove ana account...it does no longer work, eeven if you restore the account.
It would be nice if we could copy the link and make it available in al the devices without have installed apex launcher...

Same problem. Annoying.

Same issue with I9505. The workaround (restore I9300 APEX backup) works like a charm.
Annoying....really annoying...

Does someone know how to copy a shortcut form Apex Launcher and create an icon to use also in the TW Launcher (or another one)?

[Q] Email: Red or Yellow Envelope?

Hi all,
I've been looking for a clear answer(s) all over and haven't had any luck. I hope one of you can help!
1. What is the difference between the "red envelope" stock email app and the "yellow envelope" stock email app?
2. Is the stock email app on the Galaxy S3 a Samsung app and not the stock Android app?
3. Is that the difference between the red and yellow envelopes? Red=Samsung; Yellow=Android?
It's been really frustrating to sort this all out, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

To help answer your questions:
There are 2 'stock' email apps if I remember correctly. One should be the android Email application which is capable of POP, IMAP and Exchange and the other should be the Samsung one. (I'm not entirely sure, I'm no longer on stock touchwiz 4.3)
If you longpress on the app and go to application info, you should be able to decipher by the package name whether it is Google or Samsung's app because their package info should be different.
