Twitter contacts sync still broken

Twitter updated to 3.1.1 on the Market yesterday.
Contacts sync is still not working. Just thought I would pass this along if not posted already.
Regards,

at the risk of asking the obvious did you activate the sync settings in the app? Three dots> settings> your account> sync...
Then activating in the ics accounts and sync settings?

Twitter is broken overall. Notifications either work or work when they want to work. I can't even save my settings after this 3.x update

Last update broken notifications. This latest update supposedly fixed them.
My settings work. Sync doesn't though.

Yeah latest update, notification works, not Contact Sync.

You should let them know @mobilesupport as they may not be aware.

The broken contacts sync is a known problem, they mention it on the Twitter site http://support.twitter.com/groups/3...icles/213727-twitter-for-android-known-issues

Does twitter not offer a sync api to third parties? I went back to plume when they did their big update not too long ago. I've noticed friendcaster for Facebook offers some sort of sync but I find it odd that no 3rd party twitter app has sync yet.

I have no problem whatsoever with the Twitter app. Everything works flawlessly

The contact sync issue is almost certainly related to their security problem in February. I think they purposely still have it off.

We're talking about contacting syncing in this thread and yours is broken too.

If you want twitter sync to work go to 4shared and download an older version of Twitter, resync and there you have it.

Nice, I did notice this yesterday on the update list.
One thing that still drives me bonkers is when I ask it to set a timer..
Like "set a timer for 10 minutes" it ALWAYS creates a NEW stupid alarm. Why cant Google just build in a countdown timer and have it run off that?
Its really annoying the fact it creates a new alarm for everything and doesn't delete when its done.

Launching apps only works with certain apps. Won't even launch Chrome.

Possibly, though i'm running off the last RC of Liquid JB, and its using the CM10 clock in it :/
Wonder if I have to install a different clock in order for it work properly?
Does it set a timer within that 4.2 clock? or still set a new alarm?

Yes, I use the stock AOSP email for a unified inbox with my gmail and exchange, and it worked great. I do have the gmail app installed, but don't use it, you might need it on the phone for it to work properly, but it will do it without you even checking your gmail app.

High resolution contact photos?

Is there an app that allows you to make your contacts photos more clear.... ATM when someone rings me or o ring them there photo is really blury is there a way to fox this....?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

i use full screen caller id. Play Store Link Here. the contact picture size in android stock contact app is decreased to 96X96 pixel when synced with google... so using a third part app is the easiest option. just search for full screen contacts in play store.
you can read more about it HERE

ICS can be 256x256 but when you start sync with Gmail.com downsized it to 96x96. In JB contact photos can go as high as 720x720.
Try G+ you can set High-Def contact picture in G+ and link them to your contacts .. i guess.

Yes. I recently went ahead and redid all of my contact photos using the above method, and it works like a charm. The only little glitch I've noticed is when I flash a new ROM from scratch, the photos do not INITIALLY sync in high resolution. But if you give it a minute or two, or manually open each contact (I only have a few so that wasn't a problem), they fully sync and are crystal clear.

Facebook app update fixes contact syncing... Well sort of

First updated the app on my nexus 7 in which I don't have haxsync installed and was surprised to see my people app being full of Facebook contacts with pictures. Thought I could finally be rid of haxsync and then I updated my phone and well nope, no contact syncing. After further inspection I found something odd. On my nexus 7 I have a category in Facebook settings called "other settings" and underneath I have sync contact options. The "other settings" menu doesn't even appear on my nexus 4. Check it out

Nope, I don't have that menu on my N4... Last app update was 05.09.

I dont have that advanced settings
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I dont have it either. Can you get your facebook.apk from data folder and share it? Maybe its different app for Nexus 7.

Sure but where are user apps stored? I can locate the system apps but not use apps with es file explorer.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Have you root on that Nexus?
If yes go to system files (if you cant access using ES use root explorer).Go to data folder then app and there are all user apps.

Facebook sucks. Lags all the time opposed to the iOS version.

Maybe you have big mess in your phone or just need to clean facebook cache? My facebook is working perfectlly.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled, same issue, my wife's phone, same thing. I tried about every idea I could possibly think of
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

but did you cleared cache before uninstalling? Before you uninstall press clear data button in app info. Also after you uninstall if you have root go to /data/data and look for com.facebook.katana and delete it also if you were using FB messanger look for com.facebook.orca and also delete it.
Hope this will help you.

I just went through, wiped cache, wiped data, uninstalled, and reinstalled and same damn problem... Ugh
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Thats very weird.. Maybe I should first ask you but what exactly is the problem with it? When is it lagging etc?
try to install these facebook apps. The are black themed but will se does it help or not.

Lol nothing is wrong with it, contact sync just doesn't exist on my phone. The option to sync contacts is present on my tablet but not on my phone as seen in the first post which doesn't make sense since they are the same app
Edit : I just realized what happened. Someone came in and complained about the app lagging and somehow you and me got talking. Lol
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Same thing for me with Galaxy S+ not option for syncing contacts. The app is also otherwise really a piece of crap, very slow and consume really a lot of battery.

Just pulled the app from my Nexus 7, installed it, and still no sync option. I give up, this is something on their end. Just wish there was a way to talk to facebook support. They always ignore my emails
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

did you try to activate facebook contact sync in settings-accounts first?

Yep, I've tried everything I can think of. Oh well, haxsync works good enough for now I guess. Just would be nice to not have 2 apps for Facebook purposes.
I keep thinking does the htc first have sync problems? I wonder what the GP who grabbed that phone thinks when they don't have any contact pictures in the dialer app.

Wakelocks

Turn off location services for google apps. Sign out of Google talk if you're not already. Try that and see if it helps.

Dude read posts.
Turn off any notifications like Tapatalk, Facebook, etc...
Google settings like location services.
Learn hpw to manage apps and close them out properly. Every once in a while I'll go through TouchWiz Manager and end all apps even though I know some of the apps I haven't even opened or they might just still been opened up.
Like I said your maps app is taking location which kills your battery faster.
Your email app is probably on auto sync which means it's constantly syncing itself constantly on a connection that is constantly getting information back and forth hence killing your battery.
Beautiful widgets if that is also on auto sync which means it's taking your connection again and constantly syncing for info and data.

Not at all. Its not too much of a big deal I mean I just still go into my email app and just hit refresh just to see if there's anything new and is much better for battery life than having to be on auto sync because Its not constantly having to sync every second.
