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?

It can't be done unless you Flash Paul's MoDaCo Rom. For some reason FB doesn't want to use the new API's...lol I don't know the whole story but its not possible with the stock app.

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.

yeh, that works.. but if your like me, i DO use facebook for some of my phone numbers
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've come from owning an EVO 3D and the email client on that phone was second to none it did exactly what i needed out of an email client.
I've tried every single email client out there and notthing comes close to it besides the stock email client on JB but even that is lack luster if terms of features.
K-9 - won't work with exchange 2010
EE - works great to a point but with Push email on my phone heats up and drains my battery in like 5 hours, and i need instant email.
TD - Won't allow me to use 2 profiles at the same time.
Anything else i've tried doesn't have the features i need like the HTC client did.
Porting the email client over i realize is probably not gonna happen so.....I really like the nexus but I'm not sure what i can use.
Bit of an email background how i use it.
2 Exchange accounts, both have multipul folders i need synced and seen in the combined view area. 7 folder on one and 2 on the other.
I also have a support email i send from and when replying to an email need to select that email account to send from. (just used for sending email doen't come to this mailbox it comes to my main one.)
WHAT TO DO!!!!!
i absolutely love touchdown for my work exchange email, lets me sync specific folders and i can use push or set my refesh times as well as it has a nice widget for showing my next upcoming meeting and what meeting room it is in.
nvm, just saw u said td didnt work for what you wanted >.<
Have you tried maildroid? I don't know if it will do what you want, but it's worth a shot!
Yeah tried mail droid also. That didn't do what I wanted either.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
For sure you looked in all the settings? I find it hard to believe that not one of those programs can do what the stock HTC app can.
I've looked in all settings in all programs. EE was the closest to what i wanted but couldn't bare with the battery drain.
I've been at this for 2 weeks. Installed every email app out there. And I did have an X10 a bit ago. But I did use TD then but only had 1 exchange email, now I have 2.

It's been a couple months of searching and barring with the stock asop email client.
I am now at the point of asking for the help of a dev to please help me and port the HTC email client to be used on asop.
There has to be some way of doing so... So that the sense framework will not be needed.
any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

I've come to the conclusion we most likely won't get anywhere with with trying to port an app over. But the closest I've gotten to the HTC email is Enhanced Email.
I've also contributed some suggestions there to help make it as close to HTC email as it will be. Good Dev there too. Making good progress on updating the app.
My main email is a domain name I own. It's not Gmail or Hotmail or anything similar. I am looking for an inexpensive mail app that will instantly push new mail to my device. I've seen there is K9 and another one called mail DROID but just wondering if there is something cheaper?
I default email app doesn't instantly push right.? Only every five minutes which I assume drains the battery

K-9 and MailDroid (not the pro version) are free. How much cheaper do you want?
I'm partial to K-9 as I've been using it w/o complaints for a few years. It does push just fine. The UI is dated, but the next upgrade is supposed to improve that.
Oh sweet. I thought they were only free for 30 days. I thought I read that. I'll give them a try.
Emoze is my choise

I use Emoze Push client in my Android device which gives the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange ,IMAP,Gmail Hotmail but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for at least 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.
I have 5 email accounts which is about 100-200 email per day so no kidding ,this one really improved my life ,I’m less paranoid about my battery.
Other features which are quite useful are the security options that allows you to find the device location by SMS or email
and also to remote wipe or block by SMS.
This is cool because you don’t need PC connected to the internet to get the job done ,you can simply send SMS to your phone number to activate the security process.

Not exactly an answer to your question, but I got sick of maintaining my Qmail server a few years back and gave GAFYD (Google Apps For Your Domain) a whirl. Best decision I ever made, letting Google handle my email. Plus, the price was right: Free. Now I can use any Gmail app I want to get my custom domain emails.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.
1. InoMail
2. K9 Mail
3. Mail droid (serious here I had when using multiple accounts; it messed up between accounts n emails attaching totally unrelated mails in replies; so use only for one)

This. I moved to Google for my domain email about 4 or 5 years ago. The trick though is that we are grandfathered in with some extra features that new accounts don't get. I think we get more users.

No you just need to set Push or the polling frequency in settings.

Mail Droid has served me well. Decently robust and handles imap nicely.
Recently I came across aqua mail. This is an amazing app that I bought the very next day after using it for a day. (u don't need to buy it though it's fully functional without that).
Do give it a try, you'll love the awesome features in it.

My vote for Aqua Mail as well... HOWEVER, there is no great email client.
Installed aqua mail for about 2 mins until I saw it had no pinch to zoom feature. That alone wouldn't be so bad, but when HTML emails come through huge and you can't resize them to see without scrolling...that was a deal breaker. Gmail app works just fine for me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I found Aqua mail had some formatting issues on some email. The pictures would be Xed out or something. Plus it has no ability to connect Exchange accounts. I changed my email to using Gapps For Your Domain as per someone on here saying it was great and it is, only it's exchange email. Most free ones don't work with exchange so I'm back to default and Gmail. I would be totally willing to pay $3 to $5 for an awesome email client but there is no way I'm paying $20. There's two real good ones for $20 I believe.
check out Emoze
I had issues with weird behavior of the push and sync and I installed Emoze Push client which gives me the ability to push any type of email ,obviously Exchange and IMAP but even POP3 which is very limited email protocol.
I've done benchmarks with the stock ICS email client and with several third party clients like Touchdown, Moxier, K9 and I find that Emoze has the advantage in almost every aspect.
Push notification is stable and fast ,less than 60 sec.
Battery consumption is low ,I’m able to work in push mode without charging for 22 hours.
I’m quite a heavy email user so it was kind of a surprise to me because I used to have 6-8 hours max with only one account working in push.

If you don't need exchange, AquaMail is definitely my recommendation. Also highly recommended buying the Pro key. The developer is FANTASTIC about implementing good suggestions as well as fixing reported bugs. Like you, I've been using K9 for quite some time and while I still have it installed and I keep updating the development versions, - and yes, I have to admit it's getting better and better - I never found reasons to ever go back to K9. AquaMail offers (common sense) options that K9 is still lacking: full screen - especially useful in landscape mode, far superior selection options as far as the email lists, much better menu icons selection & options, optimizations for low traffic data are merely a few examples of why you should try it. Once getting used to the rather extensive settings and customize it per your liking, you may also find your own reasons to stay with AquaMail. :good:
P.S AquaMail has its own page and forum - very informative and if you feel like contributing with suggestions or bugs, this is the place. Also here I found out that there were plans to eventually implement the exchange, however, Google's recent announcement to stop supporting exchange might change that.
Never experienced any pictures formatting issues or any other issues.
All,
The default LG G3 Mail app is kinda meh....I hate the fact it does not allow me to view 'ALL EMAILS' under one, instead I have to manually toggle through my sub folders. I came from HTC One M7 and their mail app was the best I've used.
Can anyone recommend me other alternative that is not Touchdown? I hate the old looking UI of Touchdown.
I'm trying Nine Mail App now...so far so good? Any others?
Thanks!

Cloudmagic. It's a great app - very useful and it integrates with other apps you might use, i.e. Evernote, Pocket, etc.

I like AquaMail, but agree Cloudmagic is good (just hated the UI on Cloudmagic myself - specifically that it felt like I was wasting my huge screen because the app elements were huge themselves).
Take a look at Nine. I use it and like it a lot for my work's exchange email account

Yes, I'm currently using Nine now and its good. I wanted to see what other options are there. CloudMagic looks great, but don't like the fact they store our info/emails in their cloud.
Nine,I like it much more than cloudmagic

If you can get the stock KitKat email app to work with Exchange it should be a great option. Much of the same interface and goodness as Gmail, threaded emails, etc, etc. My problem is that I have now tried two phones and at least 5 custom ROMs (on my HTC One X) and I have never been able to get the stock KitKat app to work with Exchange. I have tried CleanROM, Viper, Paranoid, Cyanogen, ASOP, as soon as the OS is 4.4 or newer Exchange simply does not work. Things work with the 4.3 Email.apk and Exchange2.apk but that does not have threading. Yes, I have tried all sorts of posted workarounds, Exchange2Google.apk from various sources, etc, no luck. There are numerous threads out there from people claiming to have this problem. Must be a Google screwup because the Samsung, HTC, and LG OEM apps have absolutely no issues with Exchange under KitKat.
If anyone knows of a workaround please PM me or just respond to this thread.

Just suggesting,
I've had a lot of headaches trying to make my exchange work on android.
Auto settings never worked for me, i had to manually type the server user password and such.
My problem was that i was not typing the domain before username.
Im pointing this out because LG email app has a domain field and stock email app doesnt.
So what I do is I fill domain\[email protected] in username field on stock email app, and i use pod51015.outlook.com on server field. And it works like that. Server might be different for you.

Yeah, I have seen numerous people suggest that as a workaround but it has never worked for me. Perhaps the email server is not correct, I need to go talk to the IT guys. The annoying part is that the phone vendor email app always successfully auto-configures. It seems that everyone except Google has figured out how to do this correctly.

Well, I finally figured out how to make the stock kitkat 4.4 email app work. You can first let something like the oem email all run, then go look at the settings a day then manually reproduce them in the kitkat app. In my case I needed to specify the server as webmail.company.com and select the "all certificates" option.
However, it appears that I was wrong in my claim that the stock kitkat email apk threads. That is not the case.
Nine actually looks quite good, and just when I was wondering how they can afford to give away such a sophisticated polished app I noticed that there is a silent 7 day trial, after which it is pay to play. Seems to be worth the $10.
1st impression of Nine is very good. Paid for the $10 license less than 10 min after installing it.

It does look very good and the support is incredibly responsive. There is a bit of mystery Engrish in the menu items and some of the settings and UI are far from logical but that is a small price to pay for the functionality.
Do any of these apps integrate exchange emails into appointments on your regular calendar automatically?
Also I'm looking for one that doesn't make me put a ridiculous password on my phone.

Nine allows for this. Exchange and appointments into regular calendar. You are given the choice of applying security at the app level instead of the device level. So you only have to enter PIN when opening the app...not when unlocking the device.
There is an app called Enhanced Email that allows you to bypass security completely.
