Hi,
today I got a notification from HTC Hub indicating that there were 2 new plugins for HTC Sense which are LinkedIn and Picasa.
I chose both to install, LinkedIn installed and I can see it and its nice. However, Picasa downloads but didn't install. Tried again as the notification still were there, but same thing happend again, downloads but never installs. Then the notification vanished!
I tried to find the Picasa Album plugin on HTC hub on both phone and HTCSense.com but never found it!!
Anybody experienced the same?
Does anybody know where HTC Hub downloads the files? I might find Picasa for HTC Sense file there and install it manually.
It would be nice to have the Picasa Album plugin so I do not need any third party app.
Noticed the exact same thing... got linked in but no picasa, and would have prefered to get picasa over linked in.
Yeah i had the same problem, i had two notifications one for the linkedIn and Picasa plug-ins and one for a new widget. I chose to install Picasa as the other two didn't interest me but it never installed and doesn't show up in the gallery as an option. I can't figure out how to get back to that plug-in choice section to try and download it again either
Although sometimes when i go to the HTC hub it shows up briefly saying 'failed to connect to server, try again later' but things still seem to load. Dunno if that's got anything to do with it. Hopefully they just pulled it and will have it available again soon
I downloaded the Linkedin app. Now it says "application not found" !!
had the same thing first i thought I downloaded both of them and then LinkedIn only show up in "Account & Sync" whereas Picasa is no where to be found.
also the update notification shows up randomly.
Same thing goes to the "Market" I was on the new Market UI at some point then it jumped back to the normal one
I downloaded the linked, I can see it in my manage apps, but it is not in my app drawer. I cannot open it. I wish HTC would provide some support here!
So I am not the only one facing this problem. Hope this will be fixed soon and pushed by HTC again

David:
I think you cannot find it in app drawer as it is a plugin for HTC Sense UI and not a standalone application for Android.
So you can find the application in Contacts -> Online -> and from here you choose LinkedIn
I don't have it in my HTC Hub. Where should it be?
its not there. I guess HTC pushed it to all and not included in HTC hub online yet.
re: picasa link
I tried to share/upload using picasa via galley but it's buggy, it want's you to log in to your google acct. even that you're logged already. Works fine if logged in.

Thats is something different.
Uploading to Picasa has always been there but the new plugin I think is to view your online albums and see pictures on your phone just like the new LinkedIn for HTC Sense plugin which enables you to see all of your friends and their profiles.

Thanks, it was there! Using it made me realize that the app is completely useless for my purposes. All it did was override my contacts with Linkedin contacts without email addresses, phone numbers, etc. I was hoping for that missing Android Linkedin app which this was not!

Are you sure it override your contacts with LinkedIn? For me what it does it actually good. I choose to see LinkedIn contacts when I open "Contacts" which you can switch off.
It links existing contacts you have in your phone with LinkedIn contacts but for me it didnt override anything!
If you mean it override your contacts, just unlink them and don't link any but still you can see all LinkedIn contacts.

I have actually deleted it as I could not figure out how to unlink. All I want is an app that accesses Linkedin, similar to twitter app, without having any effect on my phone contacts. Thanks again for your help!
Same to me, never been able to find downloaded apps.
I downloaded the LinkedIn app yesterday. When I connected to my LinkedIn account, syncing created new entries for my LinkedIn connections, which I manually had to link to the corresponding phone contacts (no automatic link suggestions). I can now view their LinkedIn profile from their contact card.
While I was in LinkedIn, I added some new people to my network. By the time they'd responded, I could no longer sync with my LinkedIn account. Force close!
I deleted my LinkedIn account, then recreated it. Syncing worked again, but I had to manually link the LinkedIn contacts to existing phone contacts once again.

I had the notification pop up to download both. Downloaded them - neither installed so I tried restarting and can't find either of them. Nor can I get back to the page on HTC Hub to download them from...
Anybody have suggestions on where to download it from?

Even I was befuddled by this. Linkedin didnt seem to install correctly. But it has - it is just an addon/plugin to the People/Contacts app and thats why the linkedin icon does not appear in the all apps page.
This Linkedin plugin allows you to sync your linkedin contacts to your address book - just go to the online directories section of the people app and click on the linkedin icon to login to your linkedin account. It also auto-suggests linking the contacts like Facebook for HTC sense plugin does, just need to give it some time.
Now to go and find out what the picasa update does!!
I did do that but linkedin isn't listed unfortuantely. Is there a URL that can trigger the download link?
Morning,
Using ARHD 2.1, working brilliantly bar one small thing.. I would normally ask on the thread but it seems its a little heated in there with people desperately waiting for v3.0...
My Facebook sync doesn't seem to like syncing up any more. I tried flashing to LeeDroid 2.2.3, then tried Buzz 1.3.5 but no luck. When it does sync up, my FriendStream widget says 'no recent updates', my Handsent messaging also doesn't put Facebook names to numbers. So Im guessing the Facebook link or update function is buggy?
Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a fix?
Thanks for reading!
I think this was reported in the news recently.
Google has withdrawn its support for Facebook, this is due to Facebook being able to collect loads of data about you via a Google API. But Facebook does not allow the opposite, as no API exists.
Where I read this mentioned that it was likely only to affect the Nexus S at first, due to it having the latest Android version.
Ohh... sad times.. Thanks for reply.
So, I just started using CM7 and I can't figure out why my background won't change.
I head into the gallery, find the picture I want, set it as my background. When all is said and done, I head back to my homescreen and I get grass (which was not what I had selected). I don't know what's up with that.
I use Zeam launcher, and coming from Skyraider Athena I don't have that problem.
Also, facebook related question:
I know that through Sense I could connect my FB account to my contacts and get contact pictures there. Is there a way to do this without Sense?
these are my only qualms with a vanilla build.
I had the same issue with mine after I ran a titanium backup to restore my apps, it had a pic as my ground image, when I went to change it to something else, the pic was still on the homescreen. there were some other issues I didnt want to deal with, such as not all of my apps transferred over and google auto send them to the phone, so i went back to skyraider 3.5

I dont know why your background img wont change but i can help you out with the facebook.
if you download facebook for android and go to options you will see a sync contacts with facebook. just tell it to sync all. if the pictures still dont show up. you can download an app called "syncmypix" from the market and this will do it for you. (as long as facebook is linked to the right contact.)
Facebook for android syncs for you

Somehow this got fixed! I reinstalled the rom a few times (after a failed installation due to bootlooping) and now it works!
I've gotten my facebook contacts synced (via fb and syncmypix, because a bunch of my fb friends aren't using their real names (those jerks!)).
I used to like using the official Twitter app along with bookmarks to my lists and search (on EVO 4G and Motorola Triumph). The Galaxy Nexus presents Twitter as an option for opening such bookmarks, but when selected it throws the error "Unable to complete the action" and force closes. Anyone else see this problem and know a fix? Tried clearing data and starting over, uninstalled and reinstalled, and even saw the problem reappear after a factory reset I did for unrelated reasons.
twitter
I know you asked about the official twitter app but thought I would answer anyways although I don't have an answer to your actual question. I use tweetcaster and the open links works just fine. I used to use the official twitter app as well but after trying tweetcaster I haven't looked back. There is just so much more you can do in tweetcaster.
edit: just reread your post and I think I mis read it, don't really understand what you mean by opening bookmarks using twitter. Probably my lack of understanding.
No problem with linkedin and others. But when I try to add Facebook, I'm kicked back to the list of accounts.
Tried to reinstall facebooks, tried to clear the FB data ad cache. Even was not possible to add FB account after installing a stock 4.0.4 ROM from google (after full phone erase).
Google and FB are not friends anymore?
Facebook's Fault
Facebook never made or modified an ICS version for there app. Consequently you cannot add account and phone will not sync. There are numerous fix solutions with root. My Gnex is not rooted so I simply use an app called SyncMyPix in Play Store. This app will at least sync you photos for contact purposes. Facebook just need to optimize for ICS and things will work better!
The issue is actually Facebook not using the correct API for contact sync and hasn't moved on the issue for over a year: http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/
If you want a deeper integration on stock android like status updates in you "people" app you can get something like HaxSync (don't know if there is a better or free solution).
