Is you google account synced? Dumb question yes, but most the time it's something simple like that

txt (sms) messages not sorted properly?

Hey guys,
I've got an annoying problem with my touch pro 2. For some reason, text messages in the sent folder are not sorted properly. For example, if i choose to sort them by "from" option (which is supposed to sort messages by contacts' names), all messages get jumbled up and i see several texts from contact X, then a few texts from contact Y, then again a few messages from contact X, then Y, and so on.
I also noticed that when i search for a keyword in my sent folder by typing that word, it doesn't find all the matches, but it only finds some of them.
One more thing is that i tried this with the sent folder of a new touch pro (Fuze), and i got the same problems! So i guess its not a problem with my device....but anyhow i am using the latest official HTC rom.
I just wanted to mention once more that this is a problem with the sent folder only, inbox folder works flawlessly.
I really appreciate it if you guys can perform the same steps and see if you have similar issues...or if you might know or can think of a possible solution for this sorting problem, i appreciate it for sharing it with me
PS: I've posted a similar thread in the Fuze section as well (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728299).
has anybody tried sorting messages by "From" to see if it works?.....
Hmm, haven't tried it (not that easy on the new HTC messaging client), but in the Sent Items folder, the From field would be your own name... for all messages. It probably uses time/date as a second sorting criterion.

thx for replying but what do you mean by this?
basically all i wanna do is to create a backup file for messages of individual contacts....so i have to sort them somehow and put specific messages (from each contact) together in one folder...
so do you know of a prog that does this for me so that i dont have to do it manually?
thx alot dude

[Q] Contacts auto group issue on Cyanogenmod 6

Hi Folks,
I've just started enjoying CM6 on DHD.
But, I found the Android Contacts app in CM6 is grouping some contacts together:
ie. my three friends Johan L..., Johan S... and Johan T... are grouped into one single contact on the phone but they should be individual! ...when you look in Google Contacts online they are still clearly individual contacts.
I didn't see this issues at all with the stock HTC People app before mod'ing and can't see any setting to suppress this behavior. Am I missing something?
Anyone recognize this and can advise me how to solve it? Thanks!
Rob
Ok, fixed it myself:
Downloaded CM6 again and did a fresh flash.

I don't understand what you need. You want Viber/whatsapp to sync with Facebook contacts? If this is the case check under sync to make sure you have allowed FB contact sync. I think there is also an option somewhere in the FB app itself but I could be wrong.

Hi,
This is a member of the Viber R&D Team!
This option is not available through Viber, if your device contact list is synced with your FB account it will sync also to Viber.
If you have any question about Viber - please feel free to ask.
Thank you,

Hello,great to see that you are also on this forum and taking care of Viber users However,I still have a problem with this.I used to have gingerbread and there it worked perfectly but now I can't make it work.Everything is synced but Viber reads just my gmail contacts.
i read that a while ago, that facebook were closing access to their contact list, as in other apps couldn't read it, or something along those lines, or maybe it was that it couldn't be edited or something but it was a silly idea and nobody liked it lol.
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
better explained there, you can't export them, they're stored in the cloud rather than on your device itself etc, i think this is the reason you can't use them in other apps.

I know that this happened with releasing of ICS and the possibility to sync contacts inside the Facebook app was disabled.But I am able to sync all contacts inside the FB app and all the contacts are visible in People app.

yeah some apps can read the facebook contacts, ie htc sense - but the difference is that facebook doesn't use the android contacts api, so other apps that would normally read the contacts via the android api, can't actually see the facebook contacts, because technically they aren't part of the 'android contacts' (even though you as the user see them within the contacts/people app)

Anybody else think that one of the new features is Viber crashing whenever signal is lost/regained?
I had the same problem with Whatsapp. Facebook Contacts snyced with HTC Facebook are blocked. So 3rd Party apps cant use them. But you can use Facebook Unlocker. The app isnt longer in the market but i will share it via dropbox.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmsk82tfietqj88/Photo_Unlocker.apk
Attention: You need a rooted device!
When you have unlocked your contacts, you will see also the FB pics in Whatsapp etc.

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on the problem?
Have you made sure that the crash is linked to the signal being lost? And are you referring to 3G or WiFi signal?

I haven't been able to confirm it, I'm afraid, it's kind of a feeling, it's usually crashed when I switch the screen on. It happens multiple times a day. I've cleared data and reinstalled it, but no joy.
Does it use C2DM or GCM?

Viber uses C2DM in order to stay available.
Have you tested the brand new 2.2.2 update?
If the problem still persists with 2.2.2, please do let me know, and I'll redirect you to our Support Team.

I installed 2.2.2 and a few minutes later it crashed, but it has been fine since. I think it's fixed.
It's nice to hear that it works fine now

[Q] Q: How to chose default messenger per contact

Hi
I did try to Google but couldn't find the answer....
Is it possible to choose the default messenger per Contact (not global default messger App?)
For example, for some of my contacts I would like to use WhatsApp, and for others SMSPro.
When I chose to send a message to the respective contact (from the address book), the appropriate app should be launched.
Any help would be most appreciated. This has been nagging me for sometime.
Thanks in advance

Firstly, thanks for replying to my query. Now for the reason....
For my contacts who are availabe on WhatsApp I would like to use it, for the rest I would like to use normal messaging app.
(Others may even want to extend it to other similar apps too.)
I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think you can. Unless you just don't choose a default message app. Then everyone you wanted to send a text message, a box will pop up asking which app you want to use. I think.

Thanx, this is what I do right now but is quite annoying. I guess I will use the WhatApp app directly for the few contacts that use this specifically.
Would be a great option to have.
I could think a similar aspect for the dialer app too. Use Google Voice, default dialer, ....

Sorry, no real help from me on this one either, but have you considered using an alternate email app?
Personally, I'd recommend K-9 Mail.

I started using another email app for another account
HI,
I have the same issue. I had my Galaxy S1 with rooted ICS, and even in the stock version there was option to create those shortcuts. The problem for me is that i use 4-5 email accounts. And without those shortcuts its hard to monitor ,and its easy to get lost from which account are you sending back email.
Maybe its possible to install email apk from ICS ? Any one got the .apk file ?

I've just upgraded from an S3 to a Note II and I've noticed this too.
I wonder if it's because I'm using the Hong Kong FW that came with it. I notice it's missing other shortcuts too, like Mono Audio Toggle.
Very annoying. Oh well.

Unfortunately this is not country related...i had a workaround...using titanum backup:
1. back-up apex launcher installed on my s3 (gestures adn link to emai laccounting wrking properly)
2. restore on my Note II
It works!
The issue is when you remove ana account...it does no longer work, eeven if you restore the account.
It would be nice if we could copy the link and make it available in al the devices without have installed apex launcher...
Same problem. Annoying.
Same issue with I9505. The workaround (restore I9300 APEX backup) works like a charm.
Annoying....really annoying...

Does someone know how to copy a shortcut form Apex Launcher and create an icon to use also in the TW Launcher (or another one)?
