I'm not sure what the cause is but my friendstream widget only updates every 4 hours.
In the facebook app, I've got updates every 2 hours.
Anyone encounter this? Any ideas?

anyone run into this?
I did a factory reset, and the facebook app is set to update every hour, but still the widget only updates/refreshes every 4 hours.
Then your in luck, my friendstream never updates on my one X only manual... there are also no options to set update interval anymore.

Hi all!
I'm loving the Desire so far, except for this one little thing...
I have all the update schedules for updates to friend stream, news, email, facebook, twitter etc etc all set to the most frequent level, but they very very rarely update.
I am on T-Mobile and I have 4 or 5 bar HSDPA connection most of the time.
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
I'm in a somewhat similar situation:
*Friend stream (Facebook and Flickr) and weather update as per set schedule but it doesn't update the widget also, only when you look at it for a few seconds.
*Mail works perfectly and updates "push" mode, there's no schedule for that
*News is the one that never syncs no matter what time I set it to.
Anyone else?
I've double checked all my settings and they seem to be fine, Hotmail is set up properly. Could this have anything to do with killing the apps using advanced app killer?
I used to have this problem but it seems to have fixed itself on the update to .11 (T-Mobile)
Mine doesnt update either, unbranded.. running orange.. on latest update!
It's one of the main reasons I bought the phone and it just doesnt do it, how frustrating!
I added the email widget to the main desktop, seems to work better now.

Friendstream and email seem to work fine with mine but I also have the same problem with the news widget.
It never seems to update even when I set it to after every 30mins
Perhaps HTC will release an update to fix shortly

I think it is because you are using an app killer, try adding them to the ignore list, and see if that helps?
Im having an issue with Facebook sense. I noticed after restarting my phone for the first time that the Facebook friend stream was no longer updating even though it was set to update every hour and it was enabled, Looking in the setting menu confirmed this as the last updated time was not changing unless i forced a resync. Removing and re-adding the account worked for a while until I restarted the phone but as soon as I did the same issue manifested, it just wont automatically update. All other automatic updates seem to work.
Has anyone else encountered this issue and if so have you managed to find a resolution?
Cheers!
if you have the little power bar widget, with Bluetooth WiFi etc on, have you turned on the reloading sign?

Already checked that, every other app updates correctly just not facebook
log out then back in...it fixed my friends list not updating with new friends, probably will sort out th e friendstream (providing you've not already fixed it)
make sure its the facebook for htc rather than facebook for android tho !
How are you logging out of it?

I don't have my phone with me at the moment, but while logged into Facebook, is there no option to log out via the browser or when you press the Menu button?
I had that problem, fixed by going into settings and re-selecting the update frequency, seems to need repeating at each boot.
Does anyone know how to update contact pictures? My friends have updated their facebook prof pics but it isnt getting update to my phone.
i had to delete my facebook account then re-add it
Facebook integration seems a bit iffy on mine too. New friend facebook contacts do not show up on Contacts tab (to be linked). It seems the thing does not update without remove-re add.

Yeah I had to remove the account and re-add but then it only synced 30 contacts at first and then I had to keep resyncing 3 times to get all contacts synced.
Same here.....had to re-add my account
The first time it cut off at around 40. I rebooted the Desire, now I have the first 40 twice.

Solution
Had the same issue, just updated facebook and all better now...
not to beat a dead horse on this one, but I am having something along these issues with my FriendStream widget. The Facbook isn't updateing hourly like it should, I have tried the following to correct the problem:
Removed/Re-Added my account
Cleared all Cache Data
Cleared all Data
Reset the phone (factory Reset)
Updated Facebook
Really ata loss for what I should do from here, any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.
Hey everyone, does anyone know the solution to get the news widget to automatically update on froyo? I have to manually update it each time, and I have the automatic settings set for every hour too. Friendstream and weather updates are working fine too.
+1
same problem, but i doubt there is any solution...
Strangely, my news widget never automatically updated before I updated to 2.2 but since I've flashed one of the new 2.2 ROMs it's started updating as it should. I just assumed it was the same for everyone else? I was on a T-Mobile ROM for 2.1.
I just made a thread about this with a solution. A factory reset is your friend.

That's a hell of a way to solve the problem though - reinstall all the apps, set up all the home screens again...
Well I thought I'd just give it a go seeing as pretty much all my apps are showing in the market now anyway. I love the news widget when it worked, most probably the most commonly used thing on ky phone next to internet and picture messaging.

It's easy. Just add to the auto sync settings.

Except that when I go to Sync > Add Account and press News nothing happens.
Just to let you all know It's working fine for me now, over 24 hours since I did the reset.

Hi
I just noticed that HTC news app (and widget) doesn't automatically sync at set intervals.
Also, if I go to Settings - Accounts & Sync and I want to add news account to sync, when I tap it nothing happens.
Anybody else having this problem, or some suggestions to what might be wrong?
Cheers
I did a factory reset on my phone and never had a problem since. I know its not ideal but at least it works

Yes, afraid that is the only way
Damn! 2 or 3 weeks ago I had the wireless not working after latest OTA, sorted now now but I had to start from scratch. Not again...
Isn't there some clever abd command to sort this? I can sync manually...

Hello,
Is anyone else not seeing their widgets refresh? I'm talking specifically about my Email and Google Voice widgets. If I get a new message, it doesn't seem to appear, and old messages don't seem to clear out. I've tried opening the app but that doesn't seem to do it either.
This was an issue on my Nexus S 4G when running an ICS ROM, so I'm assuming it's just a quirk of ICS... since these are Google-made apps, I'm guessing it's the OS and not the apps themselves.
So am I the only one having this issue?
I experience this too on my email widget. It works approximately for a day, and the next morning, when emails start coming in, it doesn't refresh. I have to replace it to work again.
Yup, my email widget doesn't refresh consistently so I decided not to use it anymore. Kinda annoying.
that's odd, mine refreshes a few seconds after the initial notification. Cdma or GSM?
Also, how often is your email syncing? If you have it set to a long time its not going to tell you the second one shows up

GSM for me. My Gmail widget refreshes consistently but the Email widget does not.
CDMA for me. My Email and Gmail accounts are set for push, and Google Voice's refresh rate obviously can't be changed.

If u hav installed beautiful widgets then..
Well after lots of trial and error.. the only solution i found is..
1. uninstall beautiful widgets animation
2. clear data beautiful widgets from settings - apps - beautiful widgets
3. uninstall beautiful widgets..
Living without beautiful widgets is better than facing that refresh problem..
I will try the beautiful widgets uninstall...never would have thought that would have been it! Thanks.
I wasn't really referring to Beautiful Widgets, mostly to Gmail and Google Voice. Also, this seems to be happening to my Toshiba Thrive, indicating that it is an issue in Honeycomb as well.
