Good day. Sorry for my ignorance since this is my first android phone. But can anyone assist me on how to log out of facebook for android? When i log in, there is no option to log out anymore which means that when i click on the facebook icon, it would direct me to facebook under my log in account. So if someone uses the phone, he would not be able to use it since its in my account already. Mine is 2.3.3 version. I could only remove my log-in when i go to settings and remove my account in facebook.
This xperia roms are working together with facebook account. You probably would have problems after using another account especially with phonebook. So better tell them to use your browser like opera to check their fb once.thats what i do

Perhaps you can prevent access to the fb app by means of some locking app? That way you wouldn't have to worry about others using your profile.
I just tried to log out, it is ok.
just tab on the fb logo, it will open up the fb with 9 icons with notification menu, the press the Menu (right) button, and you can log out.
I am also on 2.3.3

You must be kidding. Reboot doesn't logout from FB ot Twitter.
What does log out is to clear ALL the data in App prefs in settings.
Clear data
You can go to settings/apps/Facebook and choose "clear data." This will remove your log-in information from the Facebook app.

Hey,
So you may have heard, uk users can now change from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com but now I'm having problems after having do so.
I keep getting errors saying gtalk can't sign in. I don't really use gtalk but it would be nice for it to actually work if I wanted to.
How do I change the main google account to @Gmail.com instead of @Googlemail.com without doing a software reset?
Hi Brummiesteven
There are 2 ways to change the details of your Google account on your phone.
1) Try this (taken from Sizzledcore.com):
Open Menu, and go to Settings.
Select Applications and then go to Manage Applications.
Look for the app “Google Apps” and tap it.
Now tap the “Clear data” button.
Now, in the Notifications (top of the screen) you will see a new notification.
Tap “Your account must be updated”.
Now enter your new Google account info.
Reboot your phone and you’re all done!
2) Change your Google password on a PC and reboot your phone, which should then ask you re-input your Google login details.
Have Google actually made the option available to change to gmail.com?
I know they released a statement saying you will be able to soon but I think you will need to change it somewhere online first before it will work on your phone.
I'm just guessing here by the way.
Make soft reset, I had the same problem and it helped me.

Login to googlemail.com, settings > accounts. Next to your @googlemail.com there's a small link saying chance to @gmail.com?
After you've done so you get a free set of stickers

Same. Seems the only option is to do a reset of the phone. I'll wait untill I've got an hour free as I'd need to install all my apps again. Don't need to worry about my contacts as those are all online.
I just ended up doing a reset of my phone after changing from Googlemail to Gmail. Pretty annoying as I now have to reinstall all my apps and re-link contacts to their Facebook / Twitter / Flickr accounts.
I was also hoping that this might have fixed the Picasa gallery syncing; it hasn't. The options just disappeared under the Google Account settings.
I changed mine to gmail.com but when I log into gmail on my PC it still says @googlemail.com
I still seem to be getting emails through on my Desire but now I get a warning every so often that Google Talk can't connect or something.
I don't even know what Google Talk is, I've never used it as far as I know.

I had to change it twice on the pc before it actually took affect. Try that.
Google Talk is a google IM, however it has to be configured correctly or you wont be able to access the Market Place as I've heard they use the same login.
You can just add the gmail addy as a 2nd account and untick the original googlemail account in the sync settings.
Works a treat without having to reset.
I had to change to @gmail.com twice, but then it stuck.
I reset my phone and I now get Picasa albums in Gallery 3D.
Ah, the changing it twice thing seems to have made my account change online.
I had to change mine twice too!!
Glad there is already a thread on this, previous ways of changing the Google account on Android don't seem to work on the Desire
Stuff that has been suggested which doesn't work:
Go to manage applications, find "Google Apps" and clear the data
Doesn't work, clear data button is greyed out
Go to manage applications and clear the data for everything Google related
Doesn't work, have cleared data for Google Talk, Google Mail, Google Mail Storage, reboot phone, just carries on as normal
Change Google password online
Doesn't work, just prompts for new password, not user account
On mine, all Google mail, Calendar and Contacts seem to be syncing fine without me changing anything, need to confirm all of that. But sending mail from my phone DOES send as gmail.com.
The only thing that is affected is Google Talk. For a start, I dis-abled this and signed out of it, but it obviously likes to stay signed in anyway, because it keeps coming up with a prompt in the notification bar that it failed to sign in, no option to change anything
Why the hell is it still trying to sign in? Might just remove it!!
I just rebooted and now my gmail doesn't work at all. It just says no connection when I go to the gmail app.
Wish I never changed to gmail.com now lol
It seems to all sync OK but I just get this "No connection" error in the gmail app.
Wow i think I will hang fire on this until we have a proper process. Cant believe google didnt send out instructions for android users.
Really good news about the Picasa albums though - that was really annoying me.

You can change it back untill you get something sorted.
I still seem to receive email. The gmail app only seems to load half my inbox though and shows a "No Connection" error half way down the screen with a 'Retry' button on it. I click that, it tries to connect but doesn't.
So to sum up. It works but I have an annoying thing half way down my inbox.

Yep, that's sorted it.
Don't think I'll be changing it again any time soon!
hi guys,
is there a way not to auto log-in to the facebook chat with the new app?
I don't want to be available the whole time. After logging off from the chat in the app, I press chat and I'm online without asking me if I want to.
Thanks guys

I thought I was the only one with this problem.....
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I absolutely hate this. I never use the chat and clicked on it by accident... Now not only does it log me on in the app automatically, it refreshes the login automatically, too.
For example, I open the Facebook app on my phone (I don't even have to open chat, just the app) and now I'm logged in. If I go to Facebook on my desktop, I'm still logged into chat there as well. So I log out. An hour later I open up Facebook on the desktop and guess what? I'm logged in again. The Facebook app is re-logging me in remotely (and automatically) from another device.
I'm seriously thinking about uninstalling the app and just using the mobile site in the browser. This is getting ridiculous.
gravis, why not just download an older version of Facebook? Like 1.4.3 or whatever was right before 1.5.0 with Chat?
Because the older versions of Facebook suck?
Does it log you into chat automatically whenever you have Facebook open? I'm not sure if it does that or log you into chat once you click chat..if it does that once you click chat then it shouldn't be a problem.
I wonder myself because I don't want people think I'm on Facebook 24/7 as I have the Facebook widget and I stay logged into Facebook to get updates to my news feed.
It's logging me in anytime I open the app. I have only ever clicked on chat once. However, rebooting my phone seems to have fixed the issue; though I'm assuming once I click on chat it'll start all over again.
So simple solution: reboot and never click the chat button again :-( it's a shame we have to do this...

Yeah that makes sense, seeing as the literal only difference between 1.4.X and 1.5.0 was Chat.
That's it. Nothing else.
What a ****ty application.
Hey folks.
Is this problem solved?
For me personal it is a shame. All my friends want to write in the chat.
Any. Yes. My FB app is not on.!!!!
So. If i ever click on the FB chat im always connected in the net..
How to solve that problem. FB touch isn´t so great and the other apps. Nope....
So? Any ideas. I won´t klick "go offline" on every FB session!
how can i downgrade my facebook app? do i just have to scour the net for the previous version and download, or can i somehow downgrade through the market?
I use ebuddy from the market. You can pick wich IM clients to log in and out of.

If Facebook was one of the built-in apps on your phone (i.e., located in the /system/apps directory), you should be able to just uninstall it (it will only uninstall the market update and not touch the built-in version). If it wasn't built-in, then you'll either need a backup of the old version or search for it.
All you have to do is go to the app, go into chat press menu and then click go offline. This way you will be offline even after reboots.
Keep getting a notification that says mobile life contacts check status. I click on it and it doesnt do anything. I clear it... Comes back again within like 4-5 hours. How do i get this to go away?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Don't know how to get rid of it, but just wanted you to know you weren't the only one that has it.
Also, you can't remove the mobile life contacts from the Accounts settings page either. I tried and it said it is required for some applications to work.
Strange. I guess when we start getting ics based off of the update we will be able to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the same notification. Not sure how to get rid of it completely. Maybe titanium backup?
Possible Solution
I can't post a link yet since I am new but if you google "check status mobilelife contacts on htc" I found the support.tmoble one has a solution. I am about to try the google account one because I don't want to do a reset for something simple like this. Hope this helps everyone
I froze it using titanium backup.

Did the same, here.
Fix:
1.) Settings > Applications > All tab
2.) Find Mobile Life Contacts
3.) Force Stop and Clear Data
Reboot phone to ensure it doesn't pop back up.
Cancel that, starts again on reboot.
I thought i was finally helpful.

Got that as well. Backed it up and uninstalled using Titanium.
It won't mess up anything if you freeze it. Use Titanium Pro to freeze, and you will never see it again.
There's definitely tons of garbage to freeze with the official tmo release that's for sure.. TI pwnage
This worked for me
Resolution steps
To fix the MobileLife contacts not syncing, follow these steps:
If you wish to continue using MobileLife contact backup you must perform a master reset of your device. To perform a master reset of the device, follow the steps below:
From home screen press Menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap Storage.
Tap Factory data reset.
After the factory reset is complete, re-sync MobileLife back to your device through accounts and sync.
For an alternate work around and to back up contacts via a Google account, complete the following steps:
From home screen tap Applications.
Tap Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Export to SD card.
Tap MobileLife Contacts.
Tap OK on confirm export.
You will now be returned to Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Import from SD card.
Tap Google Account.
Tap OK to continue.
Your contacts are now synced with your Google account. Please navigate to Accounts and sync and verify that automatic synchronization is setup.

Not to be rude, but this just doesnt make any sense. On previous custom ROMs that were debloated, all I had to do was restore that apk using titanium and I was good to go.
This not withstanding, I recently flashed Darkside ICS, and I attempted to restore the APK, but now my contacts will not sync. Are there other processes that are required in order for the Tmo contacts to sync? If so, what are they? I personally like having my contacts synced to MobileLife...
Just to help out. What you are looking for is the "Back Up" and then is will have the version numbers. Freeze it for now. Then Delete it later to make sure you don't mess something up.
This should have the Icon of a rotated white book with T-Mobile color arrows on top and bottom of the icon.
freeze it. I did and it took away the account inside the "Accounts and Sync" area of settings.
Now only my Gmail account is there.
You will need the Pro version of Titanium, but it is worth every penny and more.
I know this is an old thread but I ran across it and wanted to put exactly what needed to be done.
Thanks

hi
Tried your suggestion but I still having same problem. Thanks
I got a text from my mom but it only showed her number. I checked a few of my other contacts and found that my dad and one of my brothers was also missing. What the hell happened and is there some way to recover these and any others that have gone missing. Those contacts are not new, they've been saved to my Google account since the G1.
Try re-syncing your google account: go to settings -> Users & Accounts -> Click on your google account -> Click on account sync -> toggle contacts back and forth

Then find contacts storage and tap that. Then storage and clear app data.
Then everything will update
remove the URL in the contacts profile if you tied that contact to a google+ account. That's how I was able to get them all synced.

I just logged in to say THAAAAANKS. That was the easiest fix in Android history lol.
Exactly the same, logged in to say thank you
So, I tried this, and the issue isn't resolved. I have to go in to settings and restore contacts more or less every day. Any idea why that might be happening?
When I was logged into Gmail earlier today there was a red banner up at the very top saying there was an issue with contacts. Maybe it's related to that?
This is the steps to transfer contacts from Gmail to cellphone:
Step 1. Unlock your Android phone and enter the "Settings" on the device.
Step 2. Choose "Accounts & Sync" under the "Settings" section and elect the "Add account" option.
Step 3. Tap "Google" from the list and click the "Next" button to go to the next interface.
Step 4. Hit the "Sign in" button if you already have a Google account and then enter your username and password. If not, you need to create a Google account at first.
Step 5. After entering your Google account, you can see there are many file types under the "Sync" setting. Just mark the "Contacts"

Hey, at least his post was more informative than many of the noobs we see. I'll give him an A for effort, and a C+ for realizing what he did :laugh:
this happened to me when i removed an account from my phone, i just had to reinstate that account on my phone export the contacts from that google account and import them into the other, and then remove that first account again. and set the new account for automatic saving.
