Xperia with Twitter - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's anybody else having trouble logging in to their xperia with Twitter account?
When I go to add it it just goes to a blank screed with no ability to log in anywhere.
Is it just me?

I kind of remember a similar thing with mine, but ultimately I've downloaded the Twitter app and now it's there under Settings -> Accounts, so I guess you can try that as well.

Contacts/SNS (not SMS) replacement

Hello guys!
I am actually one of the few that enjoys Samsung's SNS thingy - I open up a contact and see their Facebook status and whatnot.
I also change ROMs often, and I end up reinstalling or restoring all the SNS components, which forces me to re-join contacts, manually delete duplicate birthdays and whatnot.
Is there a replacement you know of? I mean, an independent contacts app which syncs to Google and Facebook (and possibly Twitter, LinkedIn) and does the contact management externally? That way, whenever I install a new ROM, I will just restore this app and have my contacts as they should.
Any help would be appreciated!

I tried googling it but didn't find any. Can you post the market link?
I am trying to replace the stock contact app altogether - it may sync with Google, but I want it to be rom-independent. Like Dolphin to browsers and GoSMS to messages.
Have a look at this:

It doesn't help, and I even bought it...
No solutions, eh?...
contacts by contapps ltd (search contapps) in the market.
SmartR contacts beta by Xobni in the market.

Tried them both. They both don't help as they just display the existing contacts - so I am still required to use Samsung's SNS to sync the Facebook data. My point is to stop using SNS but remain with the same functionality.
I'm giving up
Probably forfeit the need to use the SNS features.

Facebook account sync with ics-deck alpha2

Is anyone else having sync issues with Facebook? I downloaded the application and I was able to login successfully, but it still isn't showing up under accounts or in my contacts. I have checked the contacts settings to make sure it was set to display Facebook contacts, but the option was not there. I uninstalled Facebook and then reinstalled and added the account using the android accounts menu but after entering my information it still failed to show up. If anyone has figured out a solution, or has any suggestions, it would be much appreciated. I will keep trying on my end and post here if I figure it out. Thanks!

Do you still have the stock facebook apps installed, in particular the htcfacebook.apk

Facebook contacts sync is a bug related to ics in general. It won't sync on the galaxy nexus either.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I see you said "ics-deck alpha2"
Searching in the Development forum for "ics-deck" the only one I see is alpha1... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1380505
Was that a typo or am I missing something?

Interesting. Looking at his twitter, it seems that there's even an alpha3.
It seems strange that he would update his post (last updated on 12-25) and not include the most up-to-date version of the ROM, since that's the point of the post. It makes me wonder if the what works, what doesn't work, what's new, etc. that he lists corresponds to alpha1 or alpha3.
But, I digress. Thanks for answering my question

No problem. There was an alpha 3? All I saw was a pre-alpha 3.

How do I get Google Now to show

Holding the menu key down does bring up the Google search, but going through the settings I don't see anything for Google Now. I don't have Google +. Is this needed? I added a valid gmail accound as well to my phone.
Figured it out. I needed to make the gmail account the primary account. I tried to delete the thread but perhaps it will be helpful to someone else.
I see it in the notification pulldown, but not in the top bar. Wonder if there's a setting for that.

In the google (now) app, there's a Privacy and accounts option in the settings when you hit menu. Click on that and click google account to choose which one to use. It'd be nice if we could use a non gmail account with Google Now. My university (utexas) partners with gmail, so it technically is gmail but without some of the perks like google now.

Thanks for the info, I just checked I don't even have the Google now app icon anywhere, I might have chosen not to use it when I first setup the phone, ... what can I do to get it back?

I you use chrome and search for a landmark, after you find it, say a specific McDonald's, next time you open google now it will present you with navigation to that McDonalds.
Google now is amazing. I arrived at BWI on Sunday and when I turned my phone on, it had directions to the hotel up, restaurants listed near the hotel, and the local weather. It does sometjing similar at home too. Probably one of the nicest upgrades thats functional.

[Q] Anyway to have Gmail 4.2

I know we are in an early stage of development but just curious if there is a way to get a Gmail 4.2.
The whole zoomed out email view is awesome and it's probably only thing I'm missing. I will appreciate if you have any guidance.

For some reason on stock AT&T when going into Settings > Application Manager (Select ALL) I see two Gmail apps. One is Gmail 1.0 and the other is Gmail 4.1.2.
Anyone else notice this? Any idea why there are two of them and if both need to be deleted in order to install Gmail 4.2?

Installed and working great!
sent using gNote II.
If you are rooted then use a File Manager like "Root Explorer" & go into /system/app & rename gmail.apk to gmail.apk.bak. Then copy the 4.2 gmail apk to /system/app and lastly change the permission (4.2 gmail.apk) to RW-R--R--.

The app itself looks pretty much like the old version, you can just zoom all the way out so you can see the entire email. I'll post a picture in a little bit

Don't remove Gmail 1.0. It's useful label, which is responsible for the opening Gmail mails with Gmail by default.
Without Gmail 1.0 my phone is restarting by itself each time when I try to set the default access to the mails.

[Q] Smoothsync for iCoud account keeps deleting

I downloaded a great app called Smoothsync for Icloud that allowed my droid calender to sync with my icloud.com calender. However, since using it on my Note 3 my icloud account for Smoothsync keeps disapearing . I have to keep going into Accounts and adding this account all the time. Any ideas on what it could be please? thanks.

Same here.
Go back to the play store and look at that devs other apps.
You'll see a 'JB fix' app for a bunch of apple progs. Select the calendar one and install.
It will fix this problem.
Great app BTW. Works beautifully.

Today I tried looking for the JB Fix , I saw an app / patch called JB Workaround by Marten Gajda, is this patch I need? If so, I installed it but unsure what to do next?
Thanks,
