I apologize in advance for posting a question that has probably most likely been answered. I watched the video, I don't hate myself and I don't mean to annoy you. So, can a HTC incredible guru please tell me: 1) why I have two email apps that are one account? There is a blue mail icon and a red gmail icon that are both connected to my gmail account. I get double notifications all the time. 2) How do i disable the htc email? This app is in general less convenient and I don't see the need for having two. Please help! Thank you much!
If you want to remove the app use titanium backup if your rooted. Or you can go to your settings ---->accounts/sync and stop the sync on the mail app.

Not familiar with the blue app. What happens when you try to uninstall it?
Is there not a "settings" menu in the blue app that will allow you to delete its tie to your Gmail account?
If all else fails, you can at least go to Menu>Manage Apps (or Menu>System Settings>Applications), pick the blue mail app, and turn off "Show Notifications"....

ok. I have to figure out how to use the titanium backup and being rooted. I'm sure it's on the forum somewhere.
I had checked under Settings before I asked this question, and there is no blue email icon there. Just the red Gmail and I didn't want to stop that sync. Also, I moved the blue icon to the "trash" but I still get notifications that I have mail. Then, somehow my facebook won't sync. it's "currently experiencing problems and will return shortly." It's said that since the 26th. Ugh! Maybe I should call their help desk.

IT WORKED! Thanks!! I went to the settings option in the blue app. I don't know why that didn't register for me before. I was able to delete it and keep my Gmail account.
** Could you help me figure out why my facebook won't update but my Twitter will - under "Friend Stream"?
Glad I could help with the email issue.
Unfortunately, this old dinosaur can't provide guidance on your social media troubles. I'm still a primarily-email kinda guy...you young whippersnappers with your Facespaces and Mybooks and Tweeters just confuse me, consarn it! And get off my lawn!!

Is there any way to get the GMail app to always show pictures, without having to press the "Show pictures" button? It annoys the hell out of me - I ALWAYS want to see the pictures!!!
Anyone got an answer for me?
Yet another bump since I still don't have an answer.

anyone got any ideas?
I want this also....please.
no you cant, its there to protect you not just from malicious code but also from illegal images ......
An honest question - how does making me press a button protect me from malicious code?
And illegal images, well I've never received an email with illegal images in it, and I think I'm prepared to take that risk since I'm an adult!
I just want my pictures shown straight away!
If the same account was able to have pics shown by default on the iPhone surely some has a fix or script or workaround for this bad idea on a Droid?
Thanks Kevin
"Show Pictures" button issue - WTF?
I am using Android 2.2 on a Droid X and I M NOT able to see my HTML emails automatically? I have to hit a "Show Pictures" button EVERYTIME?? This is the dumbest thing I have heard.
I can turn this option on in my GMail account, so we can't I turn it on in the GMail app on my Android phone?
Security? That is a lame-ass excuse, like I said, I can turn it on in my web based GMail account and GMail automatically filters 99% of all SPAM messages automatically AND IF there is SPAM in my email box, it's usually something I know not to click on it (on the phone) and when I do log into my webmail I report it as SPAM. WTF?
I solved this problem by using the K-9 mail application.
It is in the market and you can download the latest version off the developers google dev web site.
It has the setting to always show pictures.
Good luck to all.
Kevin
This has been solved now.
This post from this thread provides a GMail update that is flashable through ROM Manager or recovery.
Works a treat!
Thank you so much. I also think it pretty freaking stupid and not insecure. Scripts should always be be disabled but I dont see how allowing/placing/resizing picture is dangerous at all. There are empty spaces, that when you click them it goes to a link. It was a picture with a link attached, but now its clueless link. Its more dangerous to allow contextual boxes then pics. Downloading anything illegal without criminal intent is not prosecutable. My 2 cents anywho.
Thanks..I have updated Gmail app..The problem is now resolved.
how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming
I tried searching this forum as well as Google and cannot find the answer to this question.
How do I sync my Facebook contacts pictures with my contacts? I'm coming from an HTC EVO which was very simple to do. I can't figure it out on the S2 though. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you!
App syncmypix. Free in the market.
From Facebook app go to settings scroll all the way down and sync contacts. Or set up your fb thru social hub and check off the option to sync contacts.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
I had the same problem. HTC adds notes to each contact. Once your in your contacts list, hold each contact till the edit shows. Once in edit, see if their Facebook account shows. If it does, just delete your original pic and save. Facebook pix well take over. Hope this helps.
BTW, don't use social hub!

Tried syncing contacts with Facebook already. Doesn't bring the pictures. Sucks that we would need an external app for this...
For syncmypix, do I have to keep updating it whenever my contacts change their pictures?

What's wrong with social hub? Social hub does a better job at displaying the pictures. The FB app shows the pictures like if they were zoomed in. I like the way social hub displays them better than the FB app.

Facebook app used to update the contact pics in my phone too. After an update, it stopped syncing them. I had read in a post somewhere that it was blocked for some reason?

My FB app wasn't syncing either after I started restoring with titanium backup. It would always have the old pics while my media hub showed the updated pics. Then I just logged out of the app recently and logged back in. It syncs after that. So try logging out and see if that helps..

Mornin' Ray,
Gave it a shot and nope - photos still don't sync like they used to. One of the free apps on market did sync them, so I was assured it is still possible. Removed the app and it reverted to the placeholder images.
Seconded for Syncmypix. It is quick easy and you can schedule it.
To set the FB profile pic as the contact pic I had to go into each contact, hit menu and then mark as default. The first option is for what to use for the caller ID. Chose FB and saved. A lot more complex than my Evo 3D that just did it on it's own, but whatever this method worked. Before I did that it was showing each contact with the default pic saved in my Gmail contacts.

Hmm that's weird. I just checked mine and saw that one of my friends who recently updated her pic it still shows the old pic thru the FB app sync but its updated on the social hub sync. I guess that's why I'm not really having an issue this phone chooses the pics on social hub by default. I would say try a third party app if you don't feel like setting up social hub..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
OK, so I tried manually syncing contacts, I tried logging out and logging back in, all with no results. I even tried uninstalling the app, then downloading it again. This did not fix any of the pictures, however now when I edit my contacts I can see that they are linked with them on facebook, this wasn't there before. There is also a phone and facebook tab on top when I edit them, so this must be some kind of progress. Under the facebook tab, there is an error that reads: "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" what does this mean?
Lastly, I tried using syncmypix, but it only works for some contacts. For the others it says "contact is read only"
Anyone with any ideas?
Go to your setting from phone home screen...look for accounts and sync. From there look for facebook. tap on facebook and sync all contacts. That should work.

Tried the above mentioned method before, and again today... still no added contact pictures.
Like I said, I have pictures for some, but most do not. When I go to that contact, it is in fact linked with that persons Facebook account, but does not show the picture... For all of those people whos picture does not show, when I click on edit contact and then go to the Facebook tab, there is an error that reads, "Unable to edit SNS contact on phone" Does anyone know what this error means, and how I can go about correcting it?

Once contacts are joined click on the contact hit menu and select mark as default. There should be a list right at the top with a circle to select for whatever account you want as default. Like i've been saying media hub by default when accounts are linked it makes your FB pics the default unless you have one saved under the contacts main contact profile. The FB app syncs the contacts but it won't make the pics default unless you manually choose it...
To be perfectly honest the FB app's syncing sucks really bad. Once it syncs for the first time it will never update again. And when some people put full body shots their heads are cut off. This is why I rely on media hub for my FB syncing needs..

You can also turn of what contracts you want to be shown in the contact app, though my head says not to help due to attitude i believe in maybe you are just having a rough morning or something, go to contacts menu accounts viewable or accounts depending what your are running and you will be able to uncheck what you do not want to see

Why cant I find many normal mail options and settings in this rom?
I cant move mails between folders
I cant choose the age of the downloaded mails and how long to keep them, after a couple weeks it deletes them even if I mark them as favourites!
I cant reply from the Recycle bin and I cant move those mails back to Inbox.

I found the Mail app to be a terrible drain on resources. I now route all my work mail through Gmail - it works significantly faster, removes the extra app from running and has the advantage of making all my work email nicely searchable. Set it up right and you can send from Gmail as another account too.
Additionally, I've shunted all my Facebook and Google+ notifications through Gmail and use Greenify to ensure the fb and G+ apps don't run in the background; the result has been a massive increase in performance, while still giving me access to the apps when I want them.
I dont have the Gmail app in Mimicry's rom, and I dont have my mail in Gmail. I like the mail app installed but is missing a million options and settings, Im just trying to find out if they are somewhere else or if there is a way to fix it. If there isnt I would also like to know if there is any other nice mail app available.

Thats the one Im trying right now. Is still missing the options to choose the age of downloaded mails, recover mails from trash folder and moving mails between folders but at least doesnt delete the old ones without asking and I can reply mails in the trash folder. It works well and fast and thanks to Nova I could change the horrible icon for the simple envelope one.
