I didn't see this anywhere else, and I'm probably going crazy. I went to MMS a picture to my wife today, and the messaging app said that "The linked app is no longer available on this device" or something similar. I found it odd, kind of infuriating, but figured a restart of the device should fix it.
Gmail came up missing on restart! Now, I looked into the "All Apps" area and sure enough, both apps were listed. I cleared the cache on both Sense and each of the missing apps, and did a full reboot. They were still missing. So now I'm doing a full data wipe. I'm wondering if this would explain the missing Clock apps as well.
Anyone else having this issue?
I've had this happen as well. Maps, Facebook and Twitter all vanished at one point. Mine seems to be losing login information for my 3 gmail accounts, facebook and twitter as well.

It's very odd. I reflashed mine, and now my google account won't sync. Something is up.

What did you expect it to do? Download them fresh every time and hold them in program memory so you've got no space to run the OS?
well i only wanted some picture for my favorite contact and link them to their facebook account
didnt want 2000 profile picture and infos on my phone !

I have just tried to re-sync my facebook contacts with my htc desire (previously had them on but wiped them all because I was annoyed about seeing people who i never wanted to phone in my phone list)
But now it just keeps on coming up with "process has stopped" error after I do it and doesn't seem to sync?
Has this happened to anyone else?
Why can't android just have a system where you individually link each contact in your people list with a facebook account??
I'd say add their photos manually to your google account (but unfortunately you'll face the bug of low quality images). Or create a fresh Facebook account for your favorites

You can individually connect/disconnect contacts in your phone/ google with their facebook accounts if you use Facebook for HTC Sense, with the "link" icon on the top-right corner or the Sync Tab in the contact details card. Then uncheck Facebook in People>Menu>View
Whenever I try to link a contact with Facebook, it comes up with no matches found, like I dont have my facebook linked to my phone.
As i said, when I try to sync my facebook contacts the phone says the process has had to be stopped running (error message)

If it's not a problem for you do a factory reset.
On another note, if you just signed into your facebook account, wait a bit as sometimes it takes time to sync, especially with many facebook friends.
a factory reset doesn't delete anything on my sd card does it, just my downloaded apps and contacts/accounts etc?
Can i back stuff up before I do it?

No it doesn't.
What stuff do you want to backup? The phone system, built-in backup should restore your messages, bookmarks and personal settings.
You can find that in Settings>Privacy
Hi,
I've got an issue, not a massive one but it bugs me nonetheless.
Currently, when I tap the Phone button from the home screen it brings up a list which shows my recent call list, if I scroll down I get a long list of all my contacts. The thing I find annoying is that the long list includes all of my Facebook "friends" that have a telephone number listed.
What I would like is for this list to only contain my contacts (copied over from my SIM), and for the ones that are linked to a Facebook account, to have their status etc updated. I do not want my random Facebook "friends" to be in the list.
The most recent thing I've done to try and solve this issue is to go into the Facebook app on the phone and change the 'Sync Contacts' settings (Menu-> Settings) to 'Don't sync'. I then went into (phone) Settings-> Applications-> Manage Applications-> All (tab)-> Contacts storage-> Clear Data. I then copied my contacts back over from the SIM. (I've also tried the 'Sync with existing contacts' option as well)
All was well for a while, my contacts linked up again and I got facebook details for my contacts when calling them. However I noticed to my annoyance that my Phone list now contains my facebook contacts again!
I notice under Settings->Accounts and Sync I have two (removable) Facebook accounts, one is Facebook, the other is Facebook for HTC Sense. Does anyone know if it would help to remove either of these accounts?
Can anyone help me find a way to solve this issue (preferably without extra software or going through the People menu)?
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Grim.
I just fixed this myself.
I think it's something to do with how HTC Facebook interacts with official Facebook. If I turned of syncing on both (but left contact sync disabled in both) I'd still get contacts in Phone (and also in suggestions in sms app). If I removed both, then added Facebook official only I'd still get them.
In the end, opening up Facebook on my PC and going into privacy then apps and disabling Facebook for HTC Sense seemed to solve it to me. I could then use the official Facebook app without getting all these contacts I'd never use.
I didn't care about getting contact pictures and stuff so I never tried letting official Facebook sync with existing contacts only, but it might work properly.
Hope this helps, completely unscientific but it seemed to for me!

Hi JBrizz thanks for your reply.
I didn't think of logging into the facebook website to disable anything. I'll give that a try.
In the meantime I've fiddled about with the accounts in 'Accounts and Sync'. I've tried deleting both the Facebook and Facebook for HTC Sense accounts.
After deleting both I went into the Facebook app and signed in, which recreates the account in Accounts and Sync. I set the sync options in the app to not sync any contacts. I waited around for a while and no extra contacts (from Facebook) appeared in my Phone list.
I then went into the Facebook app and changed the sync settings to 'sync with existing contacts' - which I assumed should only sync the data for the people currently in my phone book? Anyway after a few minutes I checked an all of my Facebook friends were now in my Phone list AGAIN
I started from fresh again and tried a similar thing with the other Facebook for HTC Sense account - I had to recreate this in the Accounts and Sync settings screen.
Again after a few minutes all my Facebook friends where there on my Phone list
Maybe this functionality isn't available with this phone / app?
Anyone else have any ideas?
It is a google problem, not a HTC problem.
The HTC app is doing what it should be doing. If you go to the people app, click on your contact (far left) and then menu -> view you can see the facebook option is unchecked.
However the Phone dialer (google product) just syncs everything.
There is a issue no for this, 10618 @

(unfortunately I can't post links as I am a newbie!!)
Best thing to do is you guys reply and make this defect more and more noticeable.
I've posted on the google issue site, cheers for the link!
Hey guys,
Is anyone else experiencing Facebook status updates not automatically updating within the People app?
I'm displaying my Google Contacts but have linked the contacts with their FB profile within the app. It shows a status update they've made but doesnt update anymore to their latest status.
This seems to have only cropped up since I did a factory reset on the HOX.
I've gone through Accounts & Sync & manually sync'd but no change.
Trivial issue I know, but just wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same?

Yes. I have the same setup as you it seems. Just done a hard reset due to other reasons and tried from the stock FB app and then via the latest FB app with no luck - some feeds/updates are not updating,
I'm experiencing a lot of frustration with FB and syncing. The sync works ok after some manual linking and I receive updated photo's for most of my contacts however, what I don't like is, if you have any of the two sync options selected when you create the FB sync account ('sync all' or sync with existing contacts') then ALL your facebook contacts appear in your phone list/dialler and messages drop down, regardless if you have FB shown as an active/viewable account under 'People' or not. The only way to get rid of this it seems is to delete the FB app or use a Android dialler (which has the ability to filter which accounts/contacts you can see) instead of the HTC dialler.
To me this isetup is frustrating and I cannot seem to find a simple workaround. Someone did mention on another forum to uninstall the FB app, clear the app data/cache then reinstall the app selecting 'don't sync' and then use a third party app to get the photos, such as SyncMyPix however this obviously won't sync the updates/feeds that some people like.
For the time being I am not going to be syncing FB contacts until I find a workaround.
You can buy HaxSync off the play store if you want to sync your Facebook account with your contacts

Appreciate you can get alternative 3rd party apps however this shouldn't be required. The Facebook/Google integration needs to be a lot sleeker so there isn't a need to download and use additional apps...
It used to be a lot sleeker but I think google & facebook had an argument over data rights and google just stopped syncing data with facebook.
Not sure if this is ROM related, OS related, App related or otherwise, but my twitter contacts are not syncing to the phone and people app.
I used to see twitter contacts with their own card in the people app that I could connect/join to their google/facebook etc entry and get them all available in one entry.
For full infos sake I'm using BugglessBeast 4.1.1, and have the latest twitter app installed but just want to get a consensus and see if how its working for everyone else.
A) Anyone know what I'm talking about?
B) Anyone used to see this and doesnt on Jelly bean?
C) Anyone know how to fix it if possible?
Thanks.
I noticed that in Accounts and Sync, where there used to be a box for contact sync, the only thing there is "sync twitter" was that always the case? anyone have an old twitter version i can test against?
Twitter contacts sync doesn't work.
Yeah, after looking around this afternoon, I realized that since it wasnt working, they simply took it out isntead of fixing it.
So now I'm wondering if theres an app out there that will sync my twitter contacts to the people app with statuses similar to how HAXSYNC does.
Thanks.
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..
