Hey there,
After I moved to the AOSP ROMs from the Sense based ROMs one thing that is very frustrating is the ability to synch my contacts with the FB (especially pictures). Sense used to do this very nicely.
I tried couple of apps from the Market but they didnt do a great job. Currently using an app called "contact picture sync" from Market but its not very accurate.
Are there any better alternatives you're using for this?
Unfortunately no. Google removed that possibility some time ago from AOSP. Either switch back to Sense or get use to to the way third party apps are handling it.
Haxsync is supposedly good, but it is a paid app.

totally blown away by my desire, although, I still need to tick one more box.
I use my calendar a lot and utilise the busy/free option on windows mobile to mark entries as done. this functionality exists on google calendar but not on the android calendar.
can anyone offer any advice or suggest an alternative calendar that provides this ?

Try pure calendar grid. I use that. Maybe email the developer first. He gets back in good time.
thanks, given that a go but its just a widget that links into the existing calendar.
any other ideas ?

But it links to google calander.
yep, not disputing that. just need this one bit of functionality.
thought it would be widely used in android as its a standard part of google calendar itself.
just can't find the ability to use it on any apps.

You can try motocal once we're able to push to system.

Give the guy an email, maybe he can help.
I too have the same issue. I sync with Exchange via Activesync and it doesn't honour the free/busy option.
I use Vibrate During Meetings (VDM) which sets your phone onto vibrate during meetings. This has an option to only do this for appointments marked as "busy", but since the Desire calendar doesn't honour this setting it's no good to me.
I am on call for a week at a time, so put an appointment in my calendar for on call which is marked in Exchange as free. Unfortunately since the free setting doesn't propagate to the phone (by either HTC Sync or Activesync) the phone puts itself on vibrate for a week at a time.
I'd be interested in a solution if anyone finds one.
agreed.
can't believe that this functionality hasn't been considered in the android calendars.
this is probably not an issue to a lot of people but its key to my phone usage, especially after coming from winmob where this had been standard for years.

At the initial stop screen on my htc one it asked Me for my skydrive lotion details.
However I can't for the life of me find a widget app or shortcut, pre installed, that links me to my skydive.
I use sorani at the moment and it works very well by I was hoping for something as useable as the box out dropbox apps natively in sense.
Could someone who has figured out how this works please educate a little.
Many thanks

I am needing the email application from the One X to run on my Motorola Xoom as I am finding the stock ICS email application shocking.
I also need the mat hing widget for the email.
Hope someone can help.

Monkey nuts!
I just can't get over how crap the stock ICS mail app is. I can't even search my inbox on my Xoom!
Currently using Enhanced Email, but it doesn't have a widget. It does however have ActiveSync & search capabilities.

FYI, K-9 has horrible Exchange support. It only fully supports Exchange versions that are almost 10 years old now (2003).

So, is there any way we can install the HTC mail app on our Galaxy Nexus ? I love that mail client and i would use it on my nexus also. :laugh:
I guess it requires htc sense framework, so most probably no.
If this is not possible, what is the best mail client ? The default one is horrible
K9 was a really popular one last time I needed an alternative to stock

Mail clients on Android are pretty terrible. You've either got the choice of equally bad open source clients like K-9, or ad-ridden clients like Aqua Mail or Maildroid that require a payment to get the pro version.
I stick to the default mail client because it works fine for me despite being kinda crappy.
Everything is crap. Only the HTC one was ok for me... Isnt there any way to port it ?

if you port the framework for sense, yes. otherwise i would guess no
What's wrong with the nexus default? I use both accounts and constantly get mail almost every minute on of them. Gmail is the one pissed about, its slow and unreliable most times.

The HTC one has some excellent features which you just don't get on the defaut client, like the ability to see all emails from all folders and all accounts in one pot.. That would be the main selling point for me!, is there a paid for client that can do that?

I have been using Touchdown to access my official mails (exchange server). Feature wise I think this is the best mail client on android but UI can be better.

Thanks Zepius but this doesn't let you view all emails from all selected folders, it only combines the inboxes from two or more accounts.

I'm pretty sure at one time most, if not all phone numbers I saw on my phone were clickable, including those in dolphin Brower and the email app. I've not had that functionality for quite a while and wonder if it's a false memory or maybe a HTC sense thing? (Please don't say I've got to go ics/jb) Currently running mw cm7 v8
