[Q] Apps not syncing! - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Problem:
All was working fine but after some time (maybe one thing caused it) my unit began not syncing all Apps automatically. it started with Facebook, then email, then a parcel tracking App.
I now have to manually sync the App to get the new data on my phone. Automatically he does only update SOME Apps / tasks now.
For Expample, he does update 1 of my 3 pop mail accounts automatically but the other 2 are only updated when I click on update manually (settings are 30 min on all 3).
I tried delete and enter the account, Deleting the regarding App and reinstalling (e.g. facebook), Deactivate and reactivate the autosync feature, restarting between it and so on.... Nothing works but reinstalling the phone from Scratch.
I had the normal HTC Rom on my phone earlier, now using the Revolution ROM. This issue is NOT Rom related since it came up with both roms!
What might be the reason? What can I do to fix that? Is there a Cace to clear or any Sync Data that I can try to reset?
Any Idea what might cause this and how to fix?

Well , I think it's rom related.. My apps also just get synced with RCMIX Runny.. On all the other roms i won't get a sync..

But I had the same issue before with the standard HTC rom before I even rooted it, so I doubt that.
Any Idea what service is doing the sync action for all the apps? I would like to try deleting the cache of it as well as the data and see if this helps but I can't find what service does this so I can't try this solution.

Nobody able to help? Please!

Friendsteam force closing

I was using my desire when it suddenly rebooted itself, now friendstream wont work.
When i hit refresh on the widget is says no recent info/posts and shows a blank feed, but when i open the app to adjust or check the settings it keeps force closing?,
I have deleted any apps i installed today incase there interfearing with it but it hasnt helped, so i went to manage applications and cleared the cache & cleared all data from friendstream aswel, but still nothing!
Is anyone else had this problem?

I have exactly the same problem. I think you saw your phone reboot because it was updating its firmware. I am on Vodafone and I just updated my firmware and that's when I started having the exact same problem with friendstream.
A vodafone admin on their forums suggested that I should factory reset my phone and restore from backup on the SD card. I did it but it didn't restore my contacts, themes or apps properly. I have a feeling that the contact information isn't compatible with the new firmware. This is probably what is causing the problems.
I suggest you back up all your phone numbers with HTC sync. ie don't rely on the SD card backup (that was my mistake) And try doing a factory reset. Your SMSs, bookmarks and Wireless access points should back up fine. Email, apps contacts won't be fine.
But did that fix the friend stream problem for you?

This happened to me.
I removed my Facebook account from the phone (settings -> accounts & sync). Then simply set it up and logged in again.
I tried removing accounts and adding them again, did not solve issue, contacted htc, they suggested a hard reset aswel
EDIT: hard rest solved issue

[2.10.405.2 OTS] friend stream widget

since updating to 2.10.405.2 stock firmware the friend stream widget hangs showing updating on the bottom bar. some times it show new posts other time it does not , seems only to be when manually updating / refreshing.
resting the phone / force closing the widget or removing it and re adding, when it reloads it show all posts and time when updated.
I have tried stopping the services and clearing the data/cash without success.
does anyone has any suggestions?
when this happened to me it was actually a problem with facebook/twitter
if you have the actual apps you might want to check if you've entered the right usernames/passwords etc
if it was working when you first installed the system then a hard reset would fix the problem, meaning either your information is incorrect or even when you reset you re-created the problem.
thanks. i can log in to facebook and twitter no problems and go in to the friend stream app, its only a problem with the widget.
Since i've started my adventure with Desire I have problem with Friendstream widget. It updates itself when it wants and never when I want it. Sometimes it is stuck for 2 days.

random fix, i installed the Facebook app from the market place and now its working, i was using the stock app that was installed by default

Gmail keeps updating without me granting permission

Hi.
Gmail keeps updating and eating storage space without asking me first.
I don't want it, as I prefer the htc client...so how do I stop it happening, automatic updating is NOT ticked.
I'm concerned about how this happens, as it implies any application can update without my permission which would seem to be a privacy risk (although its the storage usage that concerns me most)?

Are you rooted? I have not seen gmail update but deleting it should stop it from updating.
Gmail is a push email system so when an email appears in your inbox it will be pushed to your phone. It's how Android works. Although, as you said, turning off Gmail sync should stop this...
Apologies, maybe I wasn't so clear. It's not that 'emails keep arriving' that I'm on about!
I mean the actual "Google Mail" application itself. I don't use it...I have tried it on occasion but I always come back to using the HTC Mail application because I prefer the UI and I don't need instant push email, I'm happier scheduling to recieve mail every few hours.
BUT...what I find is that every so often, the Google Mail application UPDATES itself with a new release from the Market. I don't want that to happen, and I have to "remove the updates".
Same happened with Flash for a while which kept insisting on installing a big update that I had no interest in recieving, although that seems to have disappeared from my Applications list now (and I can still use Flash fine).
I'm not rooted, the stock ROM is fine for me, I've toggled that setting that enables all apps to install directly to SD...but things like the updates to Google Mail seem to take up a load of on phone storage.
Ah right!!! Unless Google ignores things for system updates I can't comment. I have the opposite issue in that nothing updates automatically ever!!
In the market page, can you turn off "automatic updates"? I think for google mail it is on by default.
Hmm, am having this same problem. Gmail App keeps updating, dispite auto-updates (for gmail app) unchecked. Problem is I'm using email-notifier app, which only works w/ earlier version, hence I need the current gmail version to remain.
For what it's worth, this is a non-HTC phone / stock ROM. Found this thread via google search and am posting here (sorry to revive old thread) in case there is some other 'android wide' solution someone's come up with.

[Q] Accounts keep disappearing!

I have a problem that's completely baffling me. Every few days, almost all of my accounts disappear from Settings / Accounts. My 2 Google accounts, OneDrive (which I use for photo sync), and maybe one or two more will remain but everything else (CyanogenMod, Office, Trello, Twitter) all disappear. I'm running CM 12.1 with the latest nightly (20150518) and I'm running Xposed alpha 4 (20150514) with a few modules (GravityBox, Greenify, Pictures2SD, and a few others).
I've tried turning off Google auto backup in Settings, wiping data for Google account manager and starting over, running fix permissions in recovery. I'm at my wits end and I'm not sure what to try next. Anyone have any thoughts, ideas, possible troubleshooting steps?
Thanks,
tim
If anyone cares, this appears to have resolved itself, I'm assuming by a later CM build.

Viber constantly crashes

Hi all,
Since yesterday, my Viber constantly crashes. It openes for like 2-3 seconds, and then it force closes.
So far, I've tried restarting the phone, moving app to SD card, uninstalling and installing, downgrading to previous version, but no luck.
So I'm running latest Viber app, there are also no software updates for ROM (I'm running original ROM, phone is not rooted.)
When I go to running apps in developer options, it just says restarting, 0 processes and 2 services (voipService and AccountAuthenticatorService).
Also, when I go to settings, where is no Viber account to sync, I try to add it, but the account is not there.
I did not install any new apps recently.
I've created issue for Viber support, but honestly it looks that they are reaaaaly slow.
Does anybody have any idea, what is causing this, and how to fix it?
Thx,
Predrag
