Syncing Facebook and Twitter

Im trying to sync my FB and twitter (from accounts and sync in settings) and it keeps saying login failed try again later. Is anyone else having this issue?

If you tried a few times with a few reboots. Just give a second, is the phone within the first hour of activation?

No not trying to sync contacts trying to sign onto the media hub to get FB and Twitter messages.

I had the exact issues with my Touchpro2. I had to use another app to get it to work. The built in apps that came with the htc phone wouldnt work but a off brand app did.
If I am not mistaken its because of the way the built in apps sends your login info to the authnication servers with FB and Tweeter.

Even with the facebook market app installed i cant add it to accounts and sync settings. Oh well itll get resolved soon enough

Having the same issues here.

same here, probably just down because of all the activations, it will probably work before the weekend is over. does anyone know if this syncs contact photos with facebook? if so does it do it as well as sense does?

Called Samsung and they are now enlightened about the problem, said they would be looking into and call me back with resolution or when fix would be available

Synced fine on my phone with not too many contacts

Yeah its not syncing pics from FB kinda sucky
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Hmmmmm I couldnt even get it to log in. But when I grabbed the facebook app from the market place and used it it worked like a charm. Even the pictures and graphics for the different news feeds synced right up. All of my facebook contacts are on my phone now WITH their pictures.

I can't log in fb through social hub but I can through fb app for android. If anyone hears from samsung please share the news

Same issue. Media hub wont allow sign in FB or Twitt.

Push notifications

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.

Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.

Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

JB facebook sync workaround

Okay this isnt a complete solution for jb but if you use Facebook for alot of your numbers then this will work for you. Unfortunately for now haxsync doesn't sync numbers just pics, statuses, etc etc so what i did was use an app called super backup: sms and contacts and backup contacts in an ics rom that supports fb sync then flash the jb rom and restore contacts with the same app. You should have them all and it actually makes them into regular contacts so you dont have to use fb anymore for them. If you want hq pics then use haxsync or any of the other fb picture sync apps

Np and hey you can just backup your current setup and then flash an ics rom that has fb sync and go back to the backup. Itll take maybe 30mins max but its worth it if you need the contacts like i do

Another workaround:
I was going to start a new thread on this, but since it's my first post I feared getting flamed..
So, here's the best workaround that I've come across for phone number syncing for Facebook on Jelly Bean..
1. Go ahead and sync your facebook contacts by clearing the Facebook app cache and adding your Facebook account to your phone. It will ask you to sign in, and then it will sync contacts without phone numbers.
2. As you try to dial someone's number and you realize that it's on Facebook instead of Google, open up the Facebook app and search for that contact by clicking the "three horizontal line" icon on the top left.
3. The contact will have a phone icon next to their name if they have their phone number stored on Facebook. Go ahead and click the phone and it will bring their number up in the dialer.
4. On the bottom right of your dialer, click the "three dot" icon and select "add to contacts". You know what to do from there.
It's not the best solution, but it's the best i've seen so far. You won't have all of your contacts at once, but you can search for the ones that you know right off the bat, and then search for them as needed later on.

Thats a really long process lol i have over 300 friends so that would take forever. My process saves you alot of time and has the added benefit of turning the fb contacts into regular Google contacts.
Also haxsunc doesn't sync numbers so alone it was useless to me lol

All of your facebook contacts can be dialed directly from Facebook. So just keep them on the facebook app until you need to dial a specific Facebook contact, and then take the extra 2 seconds and save it to Google contacts before you dial it.
Plus, I'm sure everyone doesn't need that weird kid from science class from the 7th grade's phone number. This way you can pick and choose who to add as you need it.
Even if there is eventually a way to sync every facebook contact, i much prefer this method.

Thank you for the tip

After being a user of Tablet Talk for a year now:
1: no issues with WiFi/Bluetooth not connecting
2: no ass ugly UI
3: big developer with longtime user support and base. This is from Koush, as in Clockwork Mod and many other great apps.
4: Syncs to Tablet but the subscription also syncs to the browser and GTalk if that's your thing...
All in all I have been using app by Koush for over 2 1/2 years now and never had an issue, he deserves my $5 per year

This app is awesome well deserving of 5$ a year. The ui isn't hideous and it works ALL of the time.

Spam pushing app
I installed this yesterday evening on my phone. and then my tablet.
not 30 minutes or so after and nearly all night i get spam pushed google email address and sms to my phone... After uninstalling the app it stopped going to my phone NOW My email this morning had 13 messages everything from sex chat invites to insurance and home loan sales companies..
Is there some terms i did not read that says it will do this. Is there a hidden or secret settings.. IM VERY ANGRY Because the only way this can be happening is my phone number and google information given out. Makes me quite concerned about what rom manager might be picking up now.. THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE .. I would think a Developer of this caliber would not do this ...
PLEASE Respond rom manager......

the spam is using a tag line something like offers from desk/tablet sms and so on .. then the spam message .. i GET NO SPAM IN MY GOOGLE EMAIL Account. i give it out to nobody at all. its definitely coming from this app..I am in total disbelief that he would do this.. Thou at the same time i have cwm premium and thou i have the adds turned off im still getting them.. So maybe its how they do business....
when i check my email if there are more i will report the app to GOOGLE OVER THE PHONE... ..

Sorry to hear that, I tried to search tablet SMS on gplay and the top result was for mysms and my mysms tablet, when I searched tabletsms up came the OP version,l.
After seeing your post I decided to try mysms, it only needed my mobile number and a password nothing else, it took a few minutes before syncing sms' on first run to my N7, but it works great, don't think it supports Bluetooth, for me this would be an extra luxury than a necessity at this moment in time.

Does Koush's app still add @desksms.com email addresses to all your contacts? I tried it when he first started posting it to forums and it took forever to get all my contacts cleared up.

I dont think Koush would ever do something like this. Im not calling you a liar or anything but I have been using apps developed by Koush and ClockworkMod for years as well as using DeskSMS now for a few days and i dont have an issue.
I would contact him before saying that he did something that may or may not even be his fault. Trust me with the access that Rom Manager has or Clockwork Recovery has, spamming a user with sex messages is the least of the damage he could inflict... just saying
*could it be you signed up for something else and not Koush's (ClockworkMod) TabletSMS?

I've been using DeskSMS for the last year and a half, and the only "spam" I get is if I misconfigure it.

Gmail 5.0 anyone?

Has anyone upgraded (via the store) to Gmail 5.0? It's supposed to be rolling out now, I haven't got it yet. But I'm excited to be able to run exchange and Gmail through a single client.

I got it!! Looks amazing its like Inbox but without all the extra BS

It is great, I love it. I never got to use Inbox because my "gmail" is actually my domain with Google apps so I don't really know how inbox is. This new update to gmail is fabulous, looks great, works amazingly well. Love it. Can't way until most apps are utilizing material design...

You only need an invite for Inbox. I really like the GMail update, but Inbox is a new paradigm that matches the way I wanted to use Gmail...so for me I prefer it.

No BJ here from it but I do like it and the new layout thus far.

The new Gmail does support exchange right?
I got an Inbox invite today. Downloaded it, and no exchange support. So I'm not sure I'm going to give it a lot of time for now.

Not really a huge Inbox fan. I love that Gmail added exchange supprt, but the way you switch account is cumbersome.

If anyone has a invite to spare I'd like one. ...just saying, pm me and I'll give you email Tia

Only real issue now is (maybe I'm just missing it) that I don't see a "combined" inbox with all accounts lumped together like Samsung' email client does.

Yup. that is my biggest issue as well. I hope they update it soon. It's a big phone to be crawling up to the top of the screen in order to select a different account. A combined inbox would be ideal, but i would settle with all the accounts listed in the pull out menu rather than just the current box.
