ICS-Offline charging + FB Contact Pictures - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have an Arc S (LT18i) - unlocked + rooted
And now on ICS (Stock UK Version)the phone do not charge the battery while phone is power off.
Also Facebook Contact pictures are not shown in the dialer or Phone book.
On Gingerbread all works fine, but now on ICS not.
Is there a chance to solve that problems???

Facebook contact sync doesnt work in ICS, something about permissions I think
I use this app to sync pictures, works perfectly for me
Search for Facebook contact sync on the market its free.

The charger problem is because of the root process.

download the file on the third post, and replace the files on your phone, and voila.
It worked for me

Thank you! It worked fine!
Phone charges now in power off mode, and fb-contacts issue is gone by itself!

Remove all facebook account and sync from phone...
Remove anything related to xperia in facebook app...
Restart phone, re-log and resync facebook account on phone.
That should fix the problem.

Facebook sync

Het so my facebook won't sync photos to my contracts it worked just before I flashed my Rom again. Any ideas?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Try logging out and logging in again. And then select 'sync with existing contacts' when prompted.
Have done that
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Try to reinstall the app and sync the contacts again.
try to join contact
Tried both of those opinions
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
Are your contacts local stored or synchronized via exchange or something similar?
I have same experience on my ArcS with different roms tried (arconium, xperia mod)
DooMKernel v15, Baseband -64, Firmwares .62
All my actions below are no luck...
1) Tried install/ remove either Facebook inside Xperia or Facebook
2) Reset Join/ Separate
3) Contacts are at Google account (Contacts in phone are also tried)
4) Contact names 100% match to Facebook or partially matched
In contact page, it has a note "Facebook contact information is not editable on this device"
Any ideas?
Comes due unlocking the bootloader I guess.
I just see the birthday now and before bootloader unlocking I had their pic and other information synced, too.

I finally solve.
Delete the facebook apps in system/app by root explorer, then download and install facebook app from market.
Thanks all your minds!

No facebook notifications

Hey all....... I posted this question in Q & A but got no help.
Well, im carrying this phone but i didnt receive any facebook notifications.....does anyone know why and how to fix it?
I have notifications checked in the app & autosync is enabled also
I appreciate ur help
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA App
the other reason i can think of is, that the refresh time is too long. try to check that. do a re-boot as well.
I guess it's a fb app itself can't establish a push notification..and also the refresh rate...it's a lame app..xP
sent from another space
Regarding the refresh time it is set to lowest (30 min) and what makes me annoyed is that all my friends receive their notifications as pushed then i started to do the blackberry trick as mentioned in other websites but did not work too....

facebook app

The facebook app comes pre-installed on the Sony Xperia Ion. It also has some kind of system wide integration. I happen to use facebook and figured I'd give it all a try. Timescape is part of that integration with a fancy widget and takes up half a homescreen. My battery life hasn't been that great (10 hours in a 8 hour work day where I barely use my phone at work) and most distressing the phone was getting hot. Too hot to handle comfortably. Especially while charging. After many attempts through setting management and battery managers (which I've always felt we're unnecessary if the settings were customized for battery life) I found the problem. The facebook app itself. Not sure what version but it was the latest for this phone at this time. Not only does my phone now run cool as a cucumber, I expect much better battery life. Oh, and my phone's CPU no longer runs pegged most of the time like it was. So there it is. A tip for anybody finding their new Ion to be running warm/hot and draining battery at a quick rate. Remove the facebook account and use a browser instead. The current facebook integration is problematic on these phones.
OK I try thk....

Can you please give more detail about what you did? I don't usually get such a low battery time, but today that I was in a LTE area for most of the time the battery went down a lot faster than usual. Did you just remove Timescape from home screen and set it not to sync automatically, or you also had to remove your facebook account from Facebook inside Xperia?
I removed the account. The app itself is un-installable. I don't log into it either. I use the browser and set up notifications through sms.

I delete the account. But we can not delete the app while the phone is not rooted but greatly improved the battery and not heated as before

That helps greatly. Facebook was wiggin out for me through app and browsers, wtf??? This better be corrected with an update soon, not cool. I deleted the account so now it seems to be ok through stock browser & Dolphin. This is a huge unacceptable bug far as Im concerned. Especially when the damn app and integration come imbedded stock. FIX IT SONY. eb
Sent from my LT28at using xda premium
Mainly the "Facebook" integration has to do with Timescape, notification & sharing. I myself won't be using the app w account integration until it's fixed.
Perhaps we could fix this ourselves if they would let us. Cant wait until we root this damn thing, very frustrating. eb

Or set to manual so its not always syncing.

[Q] LiveView problem.

I'm using NXT 1.3 ROM. I have just bought a LiveWiev watch, updated it using update service but now I'm having a few problems after pairing and connecting the watch to my phone. I can't log in to facebook and twitter to see its notifications, LiveWiev application says that there's an error. Also I can't see any missed calls and calendar in LV. The watch just vibrates and the big cross appears above the option. The only thing I can do is to read the messages. Nothing else.
What is wrong? Do you have similar problems with this device?
I was thinking of buying one but i am abit put of by all the bad reviews, anybody?
