Anybody else having an issue with FB wiggin out? When I open it, it constantly refreshes and is unusable. I have tried clearing cache and force closing.

Nope mine is running great. I'm running 1.6.0

I use to have that problem before. I don't remember exactly how I fixed it ( might have uninstalled then re-installed) but I wiped the Rom I was using and flashed a new one and it worked like a charm.

It's a known bug in 1.6.0. Check the comments in the market. Every other comment is about this.

I did have this problem yesterday/today. I tried to uninstall then reinstall and it wouldnt reinstall I had to get the .apk file that worked. I think it was something in the ROM went wacky since several things are not working now - I have to do a wipe /reflash. Not sure why this happened out of the blue.

Mine did too. I downgraded to a backup I had of 1.5.4. That, along with the stupid Top News thing, I couldn't handle it. I can't stand the Top News, it's pointless, and all it does is show you posts from days ago. And there is no way to default the app to Most Recent, so every single time the app opens I have to change it to Most Recent.

Contacts FC-ing

My Contacts application is suddenly force closing every time I want to activate it. I think it is fc-ing after the new WhatsApp update. When I checked my contacts within Whatsapp, it suddenly fc-ed. And from now on it is fc-ing all the time.
Allready removed the app, data, (dalvik) cache. I even installed a new rom (which I wanted to do anyway ). But then again, after restoring everything with TBP: Force Close.
What do you guys suggest I can do? It is now becoming quite annoying.

Run fix permissions. That fixes a lot of FC

Already done that. Didn't help either.

Didn't you install app with contacts sync lately?

what about clearing data on contacts and people and then resync to grab them back?

Last thing I remember is that I've installed the new update from Whatsapp and that is when it crashed. I already did uninstall WhatsApp, but still a FC. Already wiped all my data from contacts. Seems like everything I tried, failed.

Also delete all data from Contacts.apk.

Okay finally I found the problem. Google+ and the contacts of the app seems to cause the force colsing. Uninstalled Google+ (since I'm not really using it) and everything works fine!

[Q] Gmail Sync Issues

Running CM9 and Franco kernel (tried many different nightlies) but my gmail won't sync automatically. It was working and then stopped. I have freshly installed CM9 and installed an older version of Franco kernel but still won't work. Is there anyone else experiencing this?

did you restore from TiBu?

yes but for the email I only restored the app and not the data

go into your accounts and sync and make sure the account is setup correctly to sync gmail.

That will work for messages waiting there but when I send myself a new message afterwards, again it won't show up.
(Just tried it again and same thing)

have you tried removing the account and readding it?
also, when it stopped working? did you flash the updated CM overtop of what you were already running?

I tried updating over and then a clean install. I'm going to do a clean install and not use Titanium at all this time. I though it might be a kernel or cm9 issue.

Having the same problem with my sprint gnex. Flip data off and then back on and it will sync right away. Have you ever noticed where you're using data and it suddenly stops working even though it says you have 3g still? Happens to me a lot. I use juice defender now to turn data off with the screen and on with the screen. It also turns data on every 15 minutes to check for email. Having that going on eliminated my Gmail sync issue since it is constantly resetting the data connection. Still sucks when data freezes in the middle of a video or a long Reddit news session.

What's really crazy is I restored my account from 2 weeks ago when sync was still working and guess what? Still won't work. Really frustrating!

I just had this same issue and these are the steps I did to fix it.
Turn google mail sync off and then back on
Closed all applications
Rebooted the device
Now email is coming in just fine on my Sam galaxy tab 2

Have you tried deleting data from the gmail app? Your mail is stored on the server, so you won't lose anything...

Same Problem
Having this same issue on my Sprint GNex now. I flashed the 4.2 Are You Jellin' mod last night and now Gmail won't auto sync. I restored apps from Titanium Backup. I've tried all the suggestions listed in this thread with no change. I'm also seeing a sync error message on the google account setting screen. Manual sync does work. Any ideas?

I seem to have figured out the problem, for me at least. I flashed a new ROM that included GApps then restored from Titanium Backup. I restored missing apps and system data. I had problems with most of the Google apps syncing and was receiving a sync error message. I tried reflashing the ROM and restoring again with the same result. I did a factory wipe and then restored just missing apps from Titanium Backup and select system data (my SMS/MMS) and everything works fine.
Both times Gmail was not included in the missing apps restore through Titanium and broke when I restored system data. It's been working for over 24 hours now. The other apps that weren't syncing properly are now working too (wallet, contacts, calendar)

Facebook ap not loading pictures

Ok so the facebook ap stopped working on my s2 HD LTE. I think since they started the photo sync, my phone won't load any pictures at all not even the little contact pics. Curiously the phone will still upload photos I just can't see them unless I go onto my laptop after to view. I have tried uninstalling then re-installing the ap, using an older APK version of the ap, signing out and back in, changing my password, and clearing the cache and temp files. Also using alternative aps which log in with the mobile site. nothing is working. And when I try signing in with other aps or through my cell's browser It just refreshes and takes me back to the log in screen, Help please much appreciated

Try clearing the data and log in again or use better Alternatives like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abewy.klyph_beta
Edit :Try Removing the fb account from settings->account, and create it again.
Edit:Your browser also has this problem? Are you using a firewall app? Or something that modifies the iptables? Or it can be one of your background apps causing the problem.

generally,the S2 after jellybean update got a bit laggy and slower
anyways , here are some things to try:
1) go to the application manager in settings and find facebook there and clear data then Force stop it
2) go into recovery mode and clear cache and dalvik cache
3) try on another internet connection ( wifi or mobile internet )

[Q] Gmail android app not syncing back to gmail.com

Last few days (must be since the last update was rolled out on Nov 15) my gmail app doesn't sync back to gmail.com. I get updates from gmail.com (new emails, etc.) but nothing I do on my phone gets sent back to gmail.com. I also can't send any email from my gmail app either; they sit in the Outbox forever.
One of the improvements in the app is "Improved sync and outbox behavior"
Anyone else having this issue?

had this twice after restoring the app with titan i think. after deleting the gmail data it worked again.

You rock! That totally fixed it. I went into the Settings | Apps | Gmail and hit clear data. Gmail started loading up all the messages again and now sycning works properly.

My Phone is Galaxy S4:
On mobile network only my Gmail app was not syncing automatically, gmaps was slow, youtube was not working or really slow and Calendar wasn't syncing either.
After looking on the internet I was not able to find the solution. I have tried everything that was simple like clear cache, reboot, sync OFF/ON ...
Solution:
I tried the APN reset solution: Setting/more network/mobile network/Access point name/ reset to default. I did it and also I have found that google services had the check mark ON for restrict background data. Setting/data usage/google services
I have never touched this option before so I don't know why it was checked. After these two steps my phone works perfectly now.
I hope this could help someone..
Thank you
