[Q] Sync Microsoft Exchange calendar for past events?

guys, since switched to Galaxy Nexus, I found that my outlook exchange can't sync any calendar events older than 3 weeks!!??? do you guys have any problem with that? it really annoys me. I don't have this problem with GS2 and Desire. (my company uses Exchange server 2010)

Anybody annoyed by this problem? Or just me?

Have you found any solution to this then? I believe the closest solution would be Enhanced Email, but seems it hasn't support calendar sync for ICS yet.

Have tried Moxier mail.
It works, so it must be some bug in the stock synchronization.

Does Moxier integrate exchange calendar into phone's calendar like Enhanced Email or it's like TouchDown which has a separate database and view for your exchange account like TouchDown?

No, unfortunately it doesn't merge it whit the calendar, it's a standalone app.

have tried it, too bad it's another stand alone app, really got used to viewing all calendar details in month view and now I can't live with other apps

Enhanced Email supports ICS since v1.33, feeling good about it, past events are synced perfectly, (still gotta see if it has the wakelock bug which stock app has) but gotta pay 10USD for a feature that Google should've provided.

It doesn't work yet on stock ics

So is there any rom that can have this work?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Nearly all have a facebook sync option built in
Another option is HaxSync, a paid app that syncs high res facebook photos

I have flasshed a ROM called eagles blood mod, based on 4.03 and i can sync with facebook. However, i cant see the contact pics yet.

Im on aokp and it shows up

The solution in those roms gives low-res pictures though apparently. You might want to look at the Haxsync app on the market.

Instagram and Facebook

Anyone know how to import your instagram photos to Facebook. I have tried sharing it to Facebook, but it will only give a link. I see that some people can import their pictures to a Facebook album called "instagram photos." Can anyone help?

I tried that and can't find nothing. Thats why I'm here..

Its handled by Facebook. Whenever you post to Facebook from the Instagram app, it by default creates an album called "Instagram photos".

Its an app for hipsters.
So chances are, they won't tell you how it works.

Its not, I think its because the galaxy nexus doesn't have Facebook sync support. When I upload a photo, it never appears on my fb account, even though I linked my account.. the same goes with twitter.
Kudos to the person who can find the solution.

Mind sharing how you got it to work? I'm having the same issue...

Haha please elaborate? I must be having a derp moment if it's that easy to figure out...

In the settings under "edit sharing settings" I have it linked to my fb account. However I thought that the photos would automatically upload just like that. But when you upload a new photo, you have to check the fb box, and then upload picture.

Oic... thanks. I thought it was automatic as well

App to keep pictures backed up?

I wanna have my dcim folder on my phone to stay backed up is there an app to do that?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

If you use Google+, then instant upload works great. Dropbox also has its own camera upload feature. It'll upload all the pictures you currently have on your phone to your dropbox and will automatically upload new ones as you take them. Hope this helps!

Oh hmm I may have to make a drop box. Thanks
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

No problem!

I just use Google+ for my photo backups. I can delete them anytime I want. Plus if you ever have to reset your phone, your pics will show up in your gallery as soon as you sign in. Waay convenient.

I'd say dropbox is your best bet.

Why not just enable picasa in the gallery, or Google+? They both will automatically send your pics to the cloud. Even in real time as you take new photos.

How do I do that? Like I am apparently horrible at finding settings
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

I also suggest Google+ since it's integrated with your google account and (personal preference) I like having everything in one place. I've had some issues with dropbox sucking up network time like an bandwidth vampire.

Q. Has anyone been able to figure out how to sync Facebook contacts in JB?

HaxSync - 4.x is the new update. The version is 2.3.5 and should now work with JellyBean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Haxsync ... I Beta'd the new version before release when i contacted the developer...
It also supports Higher Resolution photos so they look as good as G+ synced photos

+1 I can confirm that HaxSync is working w/ JB

No

The app facebook contact sync works.

Haxsync works but must reboot after install. (At least this is how I got it to work.)

HaxSync is also working for me, after a reboot. It's a great solution I think!
Have you guys installed the jelly bean workaround too?

Anyone know why aokp removed their Facebook sync in milestone 6?

because the way to get around facebook not using the right API breaks picasa sync.

How strange I wonder how that's possible.

I use the 3rd party application FriendCaster and it works well for contact sync.
